An Important
Easter For the
Rev. John Redfield
By ELINOR MARSH
$
.Tohu Itcdflold left tlio theological
seminary full of honors, but despond
eut Ills father had died Insolvent,
pud tho support of a mother and young
er brothers and sisters devolved upon
tho son.
John was ubqut to accept a business
position when he received through tho
bishop an offer to deliver au Kastcr
sermon, with a fee of $50, nt tho
church of tho Edmonson Manufactur
ing company. IIo was to go up on
Sunday morning, to meet tho presi
dent's car nt the station.
John considered $50 a very liberal
feo fpr n single sermon and conscien
tiously determined to do his best to
merit tho money. IIo was la sympa
thy with tho labor classes and had
done somo work to ameliorate their
condition, no spent much tlmo in
preparation, but wrote nothing, since
ho possessed the gift of speaking ex
temporaneously. On Easter morning .John made half
an hour's journey to Edmonson and
on alighting at tho station saw only a
sluglo vehicle wnlting, a car with a
girl in it. She was evidently looking
out for an arrival and, seeing a mnn
In clerical dress, beckoned to him.
When ho Joined her sho asked If ho
was Mr. Redllcld and when ho admit
ted tho fact said that sho was Miss
Cbalflnch. Tho president of tho Ed
monson company had been suddenly
called away, and sho had como to take
him to tho homo of her aunt, with
whom sho lived, whonco sho would
drive him to the church.
Redllcld was conveyed to a hand
some houso in tho principal residen
tial part of the town, whcop ho spent
au hour before tho tlmo for tho church
service chatting with Miss Cbalflnch.
Whnt connection she had with tho Ed
monson Manufacturing company was
not apparent; but, not liking to ask
her point blank what it was, ho re
mained in ignoranco of it. Miss Cbal
flnch was not as backward as ho in
asking questions and learned from him
tho conditions which liavo been thus
far mentioned.
Itedflcld. seeing a congregation of
working people looking earnestly up
at him for ndvico and comfort, soon
warmed to his subject and preached a
heart to heart sermon to them. Miss
Cbalflnch waB seated among them and
seemed much pleased at tho effect pro
duced upon the listeners. At the close
of tho service a number of men unci
women gathered around John and ea
gerly asked him If ho was tho now'
rector. When ho said ho had only
como to preach tho Easter sermon they
looked disappointed.
Meanwhile Miss Cbalflnch was wait
ing for them to finish their questions
and when they had done so led John
out to the car nnd drove him to her
home for dinner. Her aunt and John
and herself dined together, and after
dinner tho aunt retired to her room.
Miss Cbalflnch spent tho tlmo before
John was to return to his homo chut
tlng with him, and tho questions she
asked as to his affairs, the require
ments of his family and other matters
seemed somowhat Inquisitive to him.
Finally sho said that the church built
by tho Edmonson company was as
yet without a pastor and asked him
how he would like tho position. John
said that he had weighed tho subject
of remaining In tho ministry nnd had
decided that he could uot afford to do
so, encumbered as he was, IIo would
bo obliged In a pastorate to start with
a diminutive salary, and, since his
heart would be in the field of thepoor.
bo would not be likely to increaso It.
If money were his object and, consid
ering his responsibilities, money was
an important matter with him It was
far better for him to enter business.
Miss Cbalflnch agreed with him in
this. Sho said she believed tho Edmon
son company was lo pay tho sulary of
the pastor of the church and that it
was not to bo over $S0O a year. She
expressed her approbation of tills un
less a man could be secured who would
have a marked effect for good on the
congregation. "They nro not well edu
cated," sho added, "or used to relying
on themselves. They require somo one
to lean on, and that person can often
influence them to action required for
their welfare when somo demagogue Is
trying to persuade them to tho con
trary. For my part; I believe that the
right man in the pastorate of the
church would bo a good Investment, to
sny nothing of other considerations."
ICedmoud was much Impressed with
this opinion, but made no rejoinder.
Taking out his watch, bo remarked
that It was nearly his train time.
"Would you accept $5,000 a year and
a rectory frcoV" asked Miss Cbalflnch.
"Would I accept tho sky for a pas
ture?" replied John, smiling.
"I have asked you a question, and 1
think I am eutltled to a reply."
"In that case 1 assure you that 1
would accept $5,000 a year with great
pleasure."
"Very woll. Consider yourself called
to the pastorato of tho Edmonson
church."
John looked at her, wondering If she
bad gono daft.
"My father owned nearly all tho
stock of tho Edmonson company and
left It to mo In his will. I can do what
I llko with tho property, but havo never
Interfered In Its management except
on matters concerning tho comfort and
spiritual welfare of tho laborers In tho
factory."
A day camo when tho owner of tho
Edmonson works married tho rector,
nnd together thoy became the dispens
ers of much charity.
. a
A Willful
Woman
By OSCAR COX
$
It was in tho reign of King Edward
of England, tho fourth of that name.'
that John Ochiltree, u young farmer I
living hi the county of Kent, mot n !
lass called Mary Orlggs at a Maying
and conceived n strong love for her. '
Uo danced with her around tho May
polo nnd looked at her languishing
ly, but his modesty nnd tho strength
of his lovo tied bis tongue so that ho J
could sny nothing to her. j
And so ho danced and ogled and
ogled and danced, but never a word
could he say to the girl.
Mary had been keeping company
with Richard Doyle, a maker of nrmor.
but the moment he In Id eyes on John
Ochiltree Doyle saw that sho was lost
to him In favor of his rival. IIo drew
away sulky, thus leaving tho Hold to
tho man who had supplanted him.
The day after the Maying" John
waited' for Mary to come out of her
father's thatched cottage and joined
her. IIo managed to wish her "good
morning" nnd said that the crops
promised to bo good and that one of
his cows had eulved. but. besides this
ho said nothing. Mary was a girl of
spirit nnd would not help him out. She
snld to herself that he siiould talk to
her like any other mnn or she would
have nono of him. Do continued to
show her by bis expression that he
was ennmored of her, nnd when he
looked nt her his eyes had a melan
choly expression.
Now, us Boon as John got away from
her his tongue was unloosed, and he
could say what ho liked. IIo told his
mother of bis troublo and convinced
her that It was impossible that ho
should toll Mary bis lovo and ask her
to marry him.
"Then." snld his mother, "Mary must
propose to you."
"She will never do that," sighed
John.
"Sho must bo mado to. My son
wishes her for n wife, and ho must
havo her. Besides, Mary Is n good
girl and will have a good dowry. 1
wish her for u daughter-in-law. I
bavo mado up my mind that, slnco you
are unnblo to ask ,Mary to bo your
wife, she shall claim you for her bus
band." "And bow will you do that, mother?"
"Novci; mind, so that I do it Wo
women havo to get through tho world
by exercising our wits. Wo nro not
men, to force our way, so wo bavo to
plan."
Things went from bad to worse be
tween John and Mary. Determined to
force him to declare himself, she en
couraged her former suitor. This
made John ill, and so great was his
ailing that his mother feared ho would
die. Sho wont to Mnry and. telling
her of John's coudltlou nnd the cause,
begged her to do that which was ex
pected of tho sterner sex ask John to
bo her husband, Mnry vowed that sho
would bo no man's wife who had not
tho courage to ak her. and. though
John might die. she would not do bis
part for blm.
Not long after this n sheep belonging
to a neighbor was found in John Ochll
treo's fold. John was arrested for
sheep stealiug nnd thrown into prison.
"Tho lad, has lost his mind for lovo of
you," snld John's mother to Mary. Tho
lass wns secretly troubled, but tossed
her head and snld that a man who was
afraid of a girl bad no mind to lose.
John wns tried nnd convicted and
sentenced to bo hanged.
Then Mary began to regret that she
had refused to bo persuaded. But it
was now too late. Sho had driven
John into insanity, for sho believed
what his mother said, or sho had unin
tentionally bewitched him so that ho
had stolen a sheep. Sho sat at home
mourning her sad fato at loving a man
so defective. John's mother brought
a request from her son that Mary
would be present at bis execution.
Mnry declared that sho could not en
dure such a sight nnd would not go.
But she was at last persuaded to grant
this Inst boon to n man sho wns now
persuaded sho had driven to tho senf
fold, and on tho morning of the bang
ing sho went there with her lover's
mother.
A crowd was gathered nround tho
culprit. John, with tho ropo around
his neck, had ascended n few steps of
tho ladder. IIo stopped and, seeing
Mnry below, said to her:
"Mary, savo me!"
"How can I do that. John?"
"It is tho law that If one about to bo
executed bo claimed In marrlago by
any woman ho shall go free."
"Is that so?" Mary asked of tho
sheriff.
"If you claim this man In marrlugo I
daro not hang him."
"Oh, Mnry," cried John, "have mercy
on mo!"
"Savo him," whispered tho culprit's
mother.
Mnry hesitated. "No," sho said at
last; "let him hang." '
John staggered, then seemed reliev
ed. Uo climbed nimbly up the other
rungs of the ladder, and tho sheriff
wns about to swing him off when
Mnry cried:
"Hold! I claim this man in mar
riage!" John was taken down, and tho lov
ers, of whom tho ono couldn't and tho
other wouldn't till death was Immi
nent, fell Into each other's arms,
John's mother had stolen tho sheop
and placed it In her fold to bring about
tho result and forco Mary to make tho"
proposition. And yet wo nro told that
women bare not tho beads that men
havo to accomplish results.
