Introducing Her.

None but the residents consider
Mount Mark, Iowa, much Of a town,
and the very most patriotic Of them
all has no word Of praise for the ugly
little red G. B. & @. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud Of
the little station. At the same time 1t
certainly does owe the railroad and the
state a debt of gratitude for its pres
ence there. It is the favorite social
rendezvous for the community! The
arrival Of a passenger train In Mount
Mark Is an event-something In the
nature of G. B. & Q. 'at home" and
Is always attended by a large and en-
thusiastic gathering of "our best
people," All that is lacking are the
proverbial Eight refreshments !"
So it happened that one sultry morn
ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual fiutter Of excitement and
confusion on the platform and in the
waiting room of the station. The ha-
bitues were there in force. Conspicu-
Gus among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them.

other young women who had come to

respectable town, be it understood, and
girls do not 60 to the station without
an excuse!
A man in black business suit stood
alone on the platform, his hands in
his pockets, his eyes wandering from
one to another Of the strange faces
about him. His plain white ready-made
tie proclaimed his calling.
"It's the new Methodist minister"

"They say he's got five kids, and

dence. Then she explained patiently !:
"Oh, 1t Is on the children's account,
you know. They have always longed
for a big, romantic barn to play in.
That's why couldn't resist saying my
prayers-I was SO happy l couldn't
hold in."
AS they walked slowly toward the
house, Mrs. Adams looked at this par
sonage girl in frank curiosity and some
dismay, which she strongly endeavored
to conceal from the bright-eyed Pru-
dence. The Ladies had said it would
be SO nice to have a grown girl in the
parsonage! Prudence was nineteen
from all account, but she looked like a
child. and-well, it was not exactly
grown-up to give thanks for barn,
to say the very least! Yet this girl

dren, and was further burdened with

pathetically. "It's SO hot walking,
isn't 1t? Let's sit on the porch until
you are nicely rested"
'This Is fine chance for US to get
acquainted" said the good woman with
eagerness.
Now, II the truth must be told, there
had been some ill-feeling in the Ladies'
Aid society concerning the reception Of
Prudence. After the session of con-
ference, when Rev. Mr.. Starr was as
signed to Mount Mark, the Ladies Of
the church had felt great interest in
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several in
teresting items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be-
fore, after long illness, and Prudence,
the eldest daughter, had taken charge
Of the household. There were five chill
dren. So much was known, and being
women, they looked forward with
eager curiosity to the coming Of Pru-
dence, the young mistress of the par
sonage.
Mr.. Starr had arrived at Mount Mark
a week ahead Of his family. Prudence
and the other children had spent the
week visiting at the home Of their
aunt, and Prudence had come on day
in advance Of the others to "wind ev-
erything up" as she had expressed 1t.
