Show belonged to his church and was a great help to him in his work. She was, to him, the best lamb in the dock. Whenever there was anything to do in the way of advancing the cause by getting up a benefit, Nellie was on hand first of all. She was president of the Endeavor and a shining light in the Sunday school. She took the lead, in such an imperious come - along - now and way that staid old ladies forgot their dignity and their years and, Ill-show-y- ou younger ones, followed her leadership. She was first soprano in the choir and sang like a seraph. She managed the other singers too, and so adroitly and skillfully that there was no petty jealousy, so common among singers, in that organization In short, Nellie would have made an ideal minwith-th- e isters wife. Some people may ask why, conditions being as described, Reverend Thomas Doolittle and Nellie Converse did not wed. Because, forsooth, Nellie was already married. Thats a good reason, isnt it? Her husband was a big bear of a fellow with no more religion than a jack rabbit, judged by the standard of the apostles creed, clusmy as a cow and gentle as a fawn. He knew nothing whatever of the mansions in the skies, but he had title to lots of real estate on earth. When it came to laying up treasures in heaven he would nave needed a pilot to guide him to the receiving tellers window, but he was a success at laying them up on earth, and you can wager that no moth or rust corrupted, for he kept bis bargains turning over with wonderful rapidity, and as for thieves breaking through and stealing why, bless you, he kept his account at the First National. He had a wonderful fondness for his wife; gratified her everv little desire: She had the prettiest little home in town,wore the best gowns, and to do her justice, she loved her husband dearly, although she never made any fuss about it and was not perpetually telling everyone how much she thought of him. The sensible thing for the Reverend Thomas-thave done would have been to quit thinking of Ndllie and gone hunting for some other girl. Most people' will agree with me, although what most people know about preachers young preachers in love, would not make a very large volume. Its the same thing with other men. When cupid photographs a womans image on the sensitive film of a mans heart it takes more than water to wash it off.' Cupid uses a fixing solution that has wonderful resisting powers. Of course no woman will admit that a man can love stronger than a wpman, but she judges men from her pqjnt of view and cannot see as we see. But to return to Reverend Thomas. He was blind to everything save that he loved Nellie, o -- he had tried to tell her so in that language; without words we read of in books by Mrs. South worth and May work. He Agnes Eieming, but it didnt tried telepathy, but that was a failure. He preacned to her one Sunday from the elder to the elect lady, where he says: And now I beseech thee lady, not as if I wrote a new commandment unto you, that we love one another, but the elect lady did not catch on. So he determined upon a new plan and at the time this story opens had made up his mind to have Nellie, no matter what the cost. That was wicked say you. Of course it was. The minister had an idea it was. He had not arrived at the conclusion without a struggle either. He fought the tempter for a long time after a fashion. But as usual, when there is a hearty, healthy, man and a pretty woman in the case Satan won. He tried too, but just as prayer and was sincere the light of hope seemed to stream down upon him from the glorified battlements of heaven, that smile of Nellies would appear and the celestial raidence would fade. Just as he imagined a voice speaking peace to his soul, that laugh of Nellies would sound in his ears to the exclusion of everything else. The Devil is a foul fighter isnt he? He tried fasting. He would mortify the flesh as it were, and starve down his evil passion. But the flesh would not be mortified worth a Cent. I will say, however, that he might have won, only that the Prince of Darkness found a new ally. To tell the truth the archenemy was a bit frightened when the fasting began. The devil abhors a man with an empty stomach. He is a hard proposition. But Lucifer formed an alliance with the old housekeeper, who noted that Reverend Thomas was not taking his regular rations. She at once concluded the parson was either ill or that he needed a change of diet. She went to work on the last named proposition and hit the nail on the head the first time. She bought him spring lamb at two bits per pound, green peas at fifty cents per peck, in the poa, and brook troht at, oh my, I She was alone and glad to see him. More than usually glad to see him. She blushed as she said it. How I wanted to see you all day was her greeting. I have have positively yearned to talk with you alone. I have something-someth- ing on my mind which you which you have a right to know. He felt his heart bound as she spoke; felt the blood rush to his temples as she again blushed and looked confused and Just then her husband came home. (To be continued.)

Bathsheba had no such Besides David had wives either. laugh while he, Reverend Thomas, was a bachelor. But what to do with Ned Converse was a question. He could not send him out to be speared with spears and chopped with battle axes. Oh for a Joab! But Reverend Thomas soon found a solution. He would win her and elope. First to obtain her consent. She wonld be coy and shy for a time of course. All women are. Then when he had confessed his love and she had given hers, they would flee. Thank goodness he was not poor. A doting aunt, who in her life time collected interest six days in the week and looked pious one day, had left him twenty thousand dollars. He had three more of his own. They would go abroad and stay until indignant Ned had got a divorce for desertion and a few other things.
