0- 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.
