THE arrival of the new minister in Locust Hollow, as the pretty village was called, was regarded as quite an event by the songregation. A new minister is always an object of interest to lis people for a month or two, then the interest flags. and finally he is accepted as a matter of jonrse, and?generally to his ielight?is no longer fussed over. But this particular divine jeemed likely to keep specula tion going for a longer period than the customary nine days, and, being a somewhat humorous fellow, he thoroughly enjoyed it. For H*VBrpniI.lprnm?(tr?nf was unmarried?warranted by I ihe gossips to have no lady love? j young, handsome, and possessed of a private income, which made salary a secondary consideration. Perhaps that was as well, for the Locust Hollow 11 >jck were not any too prompt about paying minis lers' salaries, and, if one might judge by such things as yearly reduction of the same, wore v\il ling, as one young fellow said on a certain occasion, that the particular clergyman who had the leading of that particular people, *hould he allowed to live entirely by the grace of God. Now, in Locust Hollow, there were a number of plump and pretty girls, with a few slim, graceful damsels; but the plump ones outnumbered the slim, as is always the case in country villa ges, with fresh air, healthy diet, regular hours, and no heavier dissipations than a picnic or two yearly, in some grove in the vi 1 -1 /age, with swings among ttie tree* and a light lunch spread on a cloth laid over the grass, and per chance a dance on the green, performed by the merry young people, with less grace than zest, is it wonderful that cheeks remain round and eyes brilliant in such places as Locust Hollow? Among the very plumpest of! the village maidens was Gussie Elliston ; and Miss Gussie's blue ayes and radiant red and-whitn somplexion seemed to have found Javor in the eyes of Mr. Grant, for he speedily placed himself on familiar footing at the long, low farm-house, where he met with very warm greetings from the farmer and his wife, and dimpling smiles and shy blushes from their daughter. Among the very slimmest and palest of those who listened to the young minister Sunday after Sunday was Louise Vennevale, the daughter of a helpless widow, who lived a little out of the village, and who had therefore escaped the knowledge of Jerome for some time. Perhaps Louise's cheeks would have had moro color in them and her eyes less of that wistful tenderness, did not the burden of her own and hor invalid mother's support fall on her slight young shoulders. Hut day after day?on cold, dark days, when winds swept weirdly by the little cottage? on warm, wooing days, when her pulses throbbed with longing to Ivrt out i? *v\ / ?* t l\o I? l nl of a 0K0 ci O uc uui nuiwii^ Uir V iuioip CUD n?i quietly at the little window, her brown head bent over the sewing in her hands, the garments to be worn by more fortuuate ones than herself, which she with deft lingers fashioned. Jerome had noticed the girl's sweet, patient face, and wondered why he only saw it on Sunday? wondered how it was that he had never seen it in the many homes that had been open for him to eutei, a welcome gueBt. But Gussie's blue eyes had been enough like violets to make him speedily forget the wistful brown ones, and it was not until he had been installed at Locust Hollow for three months, and had hecnn to think that (yiisria Ellia tOD would make a very sweet minister's wife, that accident brought him to the door of the cottage which the Widow Venuevale and her daughter occupied. It was warm ; the young man was, too, and tired, from a long ramble ; he was thirsty, as well; and so, after hesitating a few moments, he knocked lightly on the open door, intending to ask for a glass of water. LI is knock had not been heard, evidently, for nobody replied to it; and while he waited, a low, murmuring voice reached him from a room within, just hidden j j from him by a tiny box of a ball. "i aid my best, mother," girlish tones answered, wearily ; "and I thought it very nioe. 1 often wonder how p( ople can say such harsh and cruel words to me, when I I try so hard to please them, j Mother--my poor mother?it is I very hard to be poor ; to bo a woI man, and poor?there's nothing | harder in this whole wide world." The sweet voice had taken j more than weariness on its music. ! It became passionate and bitter, and ended in a burst of sobs. The young man was profoundly I 1 touched, but he lifted his hand ' once more and knocked more' | loudly. This time he was heard, and Uj A ICon I "I suffered from dyspepsia and I ind'"98tion for fifteen years," says \V. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C. "After 1 hail tried many doctors and medicines to' no avail one of my friends per j suaded me to try Kodol. It gavel immediate relief. I can eat almost anything I want now and! my digestion is good I cheerfully recommend Kodol." Don't j try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further i weakens the system. You need I wholesome, strengthening food.1 Kodol enables you to assimilate j what you eat by digesting it without the fltomach's aid. Craw ord Hron. 1 ft < y light bat languid step crossed to ward the door. In a momen Louise Vennevale, with undriec tears on her long lashes, was look ing at him with wondering eye'i brown as hazelnuts. He held ou his shapely hand. "You are one of my people, an you not?" he questioned, with i smile. "I have not called be fore, but you will pardon that and bid me enter now, will yoi not?" "Certainly." And she led him into the tin] room, where Mrs. Vennevale la] on a sofa, frail aud helpless. "Mamma," she said, "this ii Mr. Grant. He has come to sei ? A J il l i i you. Ana, greatly ro rne younf man's disappointment, after plac ing a chair for him beside th< sofa, she glided out. He remain ed almost an hour conversiiq with the invalid. He heard tin pitiful story?too sadly frequen for men to mind it much to-day in their busy, selfish lives; the struggle to purchase a li ttle hom< for wife and child by the htalwar young farmer, who had only hn strong hands and honest hear to rely on ; then the long, lin^ ering illness of the woman, dur ing which the first morrgage hue fallen on the farm ; then the sud den death, by sunstroke, of man and the helpless widow, eftorti to educate her own child, befon allowing the girl to take up thi weary burden that now had beei borne for four years with gentles and tenderest patience. "It breaks my heart to see he work at her sewing from morn ing till night, and often half th( night," Mrs. Vennavale said, it conclusion, her eyes dim witl tears. "And sometimes she ha to take such insolence, too. Tha is very hard to bear. To-da; ?i: EMI* i r ill Inn VJTUHHiO ?jlllHlUll CHUie IUT I dress she had left for Louise t make, and she found so mucl fault, and said such cruelly un kind things, that my heart achei for my daughter. Did you notic that Louise had been woepin when you came in?" *'I noticed that she looked ver pale and weary," he answeret wondering if he had mistake the character of Miss Gussie s completely, when he thought sh would be so sweet a minister' wife, so truly a helpmeet to on who had chosen that most'arJuoo of all positions?to be the spirit ual adviser of a village full c people. It was with a pang at hie hear that he began to think the blu eyes and fair face of the girl wh had smiled ho shyly at his corr ing might but be a mask for cold and selfish heart. "There is a picnic in the birc grove on Monday," Mrs. Venn* vale went on, "and it was for the Miss Gussie wanted this partici lar dress. My poor child cannc go, or, rather, she will not,for sh never leaves mo, urge her as may. She was just saying ho' hard it is to be a woman and poc when you came, Mr. Grant. Yes, he had heard her say til words, but did not sav so. Ii stead, he stood up and took th weak hand of the woman. "I do not think 1 will join th merrymakers 011 Monday, either he said, pleasantly. "My dea madam, you and I have bee strangers too long. Let me corn here on Monday and become be ter acquainted with von. So. when Gussie Klliston, ai rayed in the pretty, dainty mui lin, which was really very we made and well fitting, and oft' her blue eyea and fair con plexion to advantage?waawatel ing for one face vainly in th 4 grove of birch, that masculine t face was turned toward a window 1 in the little cottage of the Venne vales, at which a girl sat sewing, i with her bent brown head and t eyes alight. Gussie met him next after the 9 morning service on the following Sunday, when they encountered - each other at the door of the t church. i She chided him playfully for his absence from the picnic, but he only smiled, and after a few 7 pleasant words, passed on and 7 joined Miss Louise Vennevale, with whom he walked through 8 the whole village, 'eaving her at 9 the cottage gate. I It was only three months later that a pretty gotlnc dwelling 9 shot up rapidly beside the church, - not at all mindful, apparently, S of the deluge of conjecture and ? remark it brought to Locust Hol^ low. ' And when it was completed, ' Jerome Grant took his bride and her mother to it one goldon day * lu lute autumn, and Louise Vens nevnle, the snubbed and slighted f dre&Btnaker, was that bride. Strange to say, Gussie was one " of the first to call, as she whia* pered to her intimates, "out of " pure curiosity." i Uf course, as the minister's 9 wife, Louise had to be civil to 3 her, laying aside the past.?Sat3 urday Night. i , ? , It In IIIn Newspaper. George Schaub, a well known r German citizen of New Lebanon, * Ohio, is a constant reader of the b Dayton Volkpzeitung. lie knows 3 that this paper aims to advertise 1 only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain 8 Balm advertised thereiu for lame * back, he did not hesitate in buys' iug a bottle of it for his wife, who a for eight weeks had suffered with 0 the most terrible pains in her , back and could get no relief. He says : "After using the Pain Balm * for a few days my wife said to d me, 'I feel as though born anew,' e and before using the entire con g tents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and n h a a A ii 1 <1 o rva 1 ri ^ o Ir A II rv h nr niiD tvuni n^aiu iar>u u jy uci y household duties, lie is very l? thankful and hopes duties."
