Mrs. Potter was one of those women
commonly called "a natural born
matchmaker" TO her credit within
tho past sixteen years Of her widow
hood there were some eight couples
more or less happily married. The
romaEce Of youth was just so much
vital food to her existence and evil
IDENTIFY she tf1rove upon the diet, for
large rolls of needless fat hung upon

good-natured and, strange as 1t may
seem, thoroughly understood young
men and women. especially at spring
time when it. is said their fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love.
It was Clara, Mrs. Potter's pretty
niece, who crowned that lady's repu'
tation as CupiHs assistant. Even Miss
Bertha Splinter, who had some years
before given up all matrimonial inten-
lions, was obliged to admit that IN
Clara's engagement to Hal Doran,
Mrs. Potter had outdone herself. Miss
Sprinter, it must be understood, bore
the conductor of this diplomatic mar
riage bureau little good will, since the
occasion on which she had been re-
fused assistance in securing, 'as Mrs.
Potter afterwards bluntly put 1T, ANY
thing in a pair Of trousers" Unfor-
tunately, Miss Splinter did not know
at the time that Mrs. Potter based her
operations on the principle "that to
accomplish anything. one must have
fair material to work with" And the
~spinster herself knew she was far from
being 'fair material"
"Well, my dear niece" Mrs. Potter
was saying this perfect May afternoon,

Bunyan's Great Work.

Aside from the holy books Of the
world no religious book has had more
influence than John Bunyan's "Pil.
grim's Progress" and it is perhaps the
only book in the. world about which,
after a lapse Of hundred years, the
educated minority has come over to
the opinion Of the common people.
.'Pilgrim's Progress" stole silently in
to the world, and it is probable that In
the first months Of its publication the
little volume circulated only among
the poor and obscure. But it slowly
and steadily rose to fame, and Is now
considered one Of the epoch-makins
books In religious history.
