CHAPTER Vll-Continued.
10

Mr.. Starr on Thursday morning had
taken the early eastbound train 10
Burlington. He attended the evange-
liStic services at the tabernacle in the
afternoon and evening. and then went
10 bed at the hotel. He slept late the
next morning. When he finally ap-
peared the clerk came at once from
behind the desk TO speak TO him. Two
or three other guests, who had been
lounging about, drew near
"We've just been reading about your
girls, sir" said the clerk respectfully.
Its pretty ncrvy little bunch! You
must be proud OF them :"
"My girls :" CALCULATED Mr.. Starr.
Haven't you seen the morning pa
per? You're Mr.. Starr. the Methodist
minister at Mount Mark, aren't your
Il am! But what has happened TO
my girls? Is anything wrong? Give
me the paper!"
Five minutes later Mr.. Starr and his
suitcase were in taXicab speeding
toward Union station, and within eight
Mark-white in the face, shaky in the
knees, but tremendously proud in
spirit.
Arriving at Mount Mark, he was in
stantly surrounded by an explanatory
crowd of station loungers. The name
of Prudence was upon every tongue,
and her father heard ii with satisfac-
tion. In the parsonage he found at
least twO-thirds of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, the trustees and the Sunday
school superintendent, along with n
miscellaneous assortment of ordinary
members, mixed up with Presbytersns.
Baptists and a few unclassitied outsid-
ers. And Prudence was the center of
attraction.
She was telling the "whole story"
for perhaps the fifteenth time that
morning, but she broke off when her
father hurried in and flung her arms
about him. "Oh, papa" she cried,
"they mustn't praise me. / had no
Idea there was burglar in the house
when l ran down the stairs, and hon
due me-"
But Mount Mark did not take II so
calmly. And as for the Methodist
church-well, the Presbyterian people
used TO say there was mo living with
those Methodists, since the girls caught
q burglar in the parsonage" OF course
IL was important, from the Methodist
point Of view. Pictures of the par
sonage and the church were in all the
papers for miles around, and at their
very next meeting the trustees decided
10 get the piano the Sunday school had
been needing for the last hundred
years
When the FIVE hundred dollars ar
rived from Chicago Prudence felt that
personally she had no real right TO the
money. 1--WE must divide It," she in
sisted, "for / didn't earn II bit more
than any Of the others. But II Is
perfectly glorious to have five hundred
dollars, isn't 1t? Did you ever have
FIVE hundred dollars before? Just take
II, father, and use II for whatever we
need. It's family money"
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them ear
nestly, they decided to divide It.
81 will deposit two hundred and fifty
dollars for the four younger ones" he
said, "and that will leave you as
much"
So II was settled, and Prudence was
happy girl when she saw II safely
put away in the bank.
