church. She was always on hand at

Rally and gave literally Of her means

her own pew between Billy and jim

too; 1t was the only place he could
depend upon for seeing Miss Minerva
The preacher, after an earnest and
eloquent discourse from the text, "He
will remember the fatherless," closed
the big Bible with a bang calculated
to wake up any who might be sleep
Ing. He came down from the pulpit
and stood close to his hearers as he
made his last pathetic appeal.
"My own heart" said he, goes out
to every orphan child, for in the yell
low fever epidemic Of '7S, when but
two years old, lost both father and
mother. If there are any little orphan
children here today, I should be glad
If they would come up to the front
and shake hands with me-"
Now Miss Minerva always faithful
ly responded to every proposal made
by a preacher; 1t was a part Of her
religious conviction. At revivals she
was ever shining, If solemn and aus
tere, light. When minister called
for all those who wanted to go to
Heaven to rise, she was always the
first one on her feet. II he asked
to see the raised hands Of those who
were members OF the church at the

evangelist was holding big pro-

town and had asked those who had
read tho book Of Hezekiah in the
Bible to stand up, Miss Minerva on

voted lover on the other side were

thought she had read Hezekiah q

themselves upon the pretty Young

Jimmy looked at these proceedings
of Billy's in astonishment, not com.
pretending at all. He was rather in.
dignant that the older boy had not
conflded In him and invited his par
ticipation.
But Jimmy was not the one to sit
calmly by and be ignored when there
was anything doing. SO he slid awk-
wardly from the bench before Miss
Minerva knew what he was up to-
Signaling Frances to follow, he swag-
gered pompously behind Billy and he,
too, held out short. fat hand to the
minister.
The speaker smiled benignly down
upon them; lifting them up in his
arms he stood the little boys upon
the table. He thought the touching
sight OF these innocent and tender
little orphans would empty the poek-
cts Of the audience. Billy turned red
with embarrassment at his conspicu-
GUS position, while Jimmy grinned
happily at the amused congregation.
Horrifed Miss Minerva half rose to
her feet, but decided to remain where
she was. She was timid woman
and did not know what course she
ought to pursue. Besides, she had
just caught, the Majors smile
