The Minister's Wife.
By Mary C. Freston.
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

"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

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;

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
