young man; he was forcible speak
er, and had been selected on the death
of his predecessor on account of his
eloquence and impassioned faith. A
bachelor, he had given all his money
to the poor. He was a leader of the
new evangelical school, which was
believed to offer the most powerful op-
position to all the doctrines of mate
rialism, rampant throughout the land.
All Clayton awaited his first visit.
On the evening of his arrival Made
leine was in the church. She was
alone; she had been decorating the al
tar and putting the last garlands Of
green about the pillars. Then, her
work done, the memory of the past
came rushing over her Just so had
she worked in the days when Upton
and she we're engaged 20 be married.
They had met here; and her memo
ries opened the floodGates of her sor-
row. She kneeled and weDt before thu
altar.
She did not hear the door open, nor
was she aware that she was not alone
until she started up, to see the bishop
standing at her side. Through eyes
blinded with tears she discerned the
kindly man who looked inquiringly at
her
You are in trouble?" asked the
bishop.
She nodded desolately. She could
not speak; she buried her head in her
arms and sobbed
Then suddenly she found herself
poured out her story 1t was a tale
of pride and punishment, but the pun
ishment had been out OF proportion to
the sin.
Fifteen years before, almost to a
day, she was to have married Upton
Vane. The marriage was only 12
hours away Upton was in her moth
er's home when a messenger came to
the door.
An old colored woman who lived
eight miles away was dying. She had
something to confess before she died.
She wanted minister-any minister.
The message had come to Upton be-
cause the Methodist minister was out
But you can't go, dear!" exclaimed
the girl. "Mr Barrett will be back
in few minutes, and he is her min
lister. At least, all the colored people
about here go to his church."
'I'll have to go, Madeleine" the min
ioter answered, The call has come to
me-"
"Well, l think it outrageous" an
swered the girl hotly, Remember, il |
you keep me waiting tomorrow, I'll |
not marry you"
why, my dear, I'll be back by mid
night" Upton answered.
She suffered him to kiss her, but
her manner was distinctly aggrieved
as he took his departure. And when
he reached the miserable shack, he
found cause for further delay.

SOME HELPFUL HINTS

Roses of all kinds should be thor
oughly manured with well-rotted COW
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves.
Liquid manure should be applied
only when the ground is moist enough
to absorb it.
1t is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manure when the
ground is very dry
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush until the petals begin to fall
All plants that are intended for wiz
ter bloomers should have the buds
pinched off now.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day If you want to have plenty
of bloom.

your plants well, and mulch about
them with road dust This will pre-

come hardened, though it had gone on
for a long time, but he knew now that
