What Prayer- Can Do. A storm That May bo Fiction; Hut Which Coulu be True. / ''Nil," said the lawyer, "1 shan't press your cluim against that man. You can get someoDe else to take the case, or you can withdraw it, just as you please." "Think thore isn't any money in it!" "There would probably be a little money in it; but it would come from the sale of the little house the man occupies and calls his 'Lome .' But 1 don't want to meddle with the matter anyhow." "Got frightened out of it, ehf" "Not at till." "I suppose the old fellow begged hard to be let otT?" "Well, yes, he did." "And you caved in, likely?" "Yes." "What in creation did you do?" "1 believe I shod a few tears." "The old fellow begged you hard, you sayf" "No, 1 didn't say so, he didn't speak a word to me.'' "Well, may 1 ask whom did he Oilil raeo Ir? ??/? ?? I, .... ' > ioiuioco iu )um iil'Ul Ul?! "God Almighty." Ho took to praying, did ho?" "Not for my benefit in the least. You see, I found the little house easily enough, and knocked on the outer door, which stood a jar, but nobody heard me; so I steppo.l into the little hall, and saw through the crack of the door a cosy sitting-room, and theie on the bed, with tier silver head high on the pillows, was an old lady, who looked for all world just like my mother did the last time I saw her on earth. Well, I was on the point of knocking ugain, when she said, Come, father, now begiu; 1 am all ready.' Down on his knees by her side went the old white i 1 ...... urn reel man, still older than his wife, 1 should judge; and I couldn't have knocked then for the life of me. Well, he began. First ho reminded God that they were still liis submissive children, mother and he, and, no matter what he saw lit to bring upon them, they should not rebel against his will. Ot course, it was going to be hard for them to go out homeless in their old age, especially with poor mother so sick and helpless; and oh,how different it might have been if only one of the hoy had beeu speared. Then his voice kind o' broke, and a thin, whito hand stole from un dor tho coverlid, and moved softly over his snowy hair. Then he went 011 to repeat that nothing could ever be so sharp again as the parting with those three sons ?uuiuss inoiner and he shouUl he separated! Hut at last he fell to comforting himself with the fact that the good Lord knew that it was through no fault of his own that mother and he wore threatened with the loss of their dear little home, which meant beggary anil the almshouse?a pi ace they prayed to be delivered from, if it could be consistent with God's will. And then ho ijuoted a multitude of promises concerning the safety of those who put their trust . ' , f* in the Lord. In fact, it was the most^thrilling plea to which I ever listened. At last he nrnvml , . -v 'V.| God's blessing on those about to demand justice." Then tho lawyer continued, more slowly than ever. "And?1 ?believe I had ruther go to the poorhouse myself tonight than to stain my hands and heart with the blood of such a persecution as that." "Little afraid to defeat tho old man's prayer, ohf' "Bless your soul, man, you couldn't defeat that prayer. I tell you he left it all subject to the will of God; but he claimed that we wore told to make known f ' .r-v -> ^ * our desire to him. Hut, of all , iho pleading 1 over heard, that moved me most Von see, 1 was taught tiiat kind of thing myself 1 in tuy childhood, and why 1 way ' sent to hear that prayer 1 am sure 1 don't know ? but 1 band , tho case over." j "1 wish," yaid the client un- I eavily, 1 wish you hadn't told 1 me about the old man's prayer." : 44Why so?" ( 44Well, because 1 want the < money the place would bring. I ' was taught the Bible straight enough when I was a youngster, r. ...1 I k.ilrt * 4iiii4 4 11(tic hi ruu uuilllltT lO WUUl you tell ine about it. I wish you had not beard a word about it; and another time 1 would not ha- , ten to petitions not intended for ( my ears." The lawyer ainiled. ' "My dear fellow," ho said ' "you are wrong again. It waa intended for my eara and yours 1 too; and God Almighty intended 1 it. My old mother used to sing about 'God moves in a mysterious way,' 1 remember." "Well, my mother used to sing ' it too," said the client, and he 11 twisted the claim papers in his fingers. "You can call in the morning, if you like, and tell 'mother' and him, the claim has been met." "In a mysterious way," added the lawyer. Three Negroes Drowned. ( Pickens, Juno 8. ?
