(By Amy Randolph^ ND you think Vd really better adver tise!” said the Rev. Septimus Hlxon. "By all means,” said Maj. Clark, "put yourself in di rect communication with the general public of Snag town; that's the only business way.” Mr. Hlxon a tall, pale, close-shaven young clergyman, sat In his Gothic study, with a vase of rosebuds before bis sheets of sermon paper, and a slack of new pens all placed ready for use, Maj. Clark, short and stout, with a fringe of white whisker.! around his rubicund countenance, waa smoking a cigar on the doorstep. Mr. Hlxon disliked the odor of Havanas, and Maj. Clark despised the rosebuds. But they were both mildly tolerant of the other's weakness. Maj. Clark had an Idea that It looked respectable to be on social terms with your clergyman, and Mr. Hlxon, who had only recent ly accepted a call to Snagtown. de pended a good deal on Maj. Clark's thorough acquaintance with the peo ple and the place. And, to speak truth, the beautiful, rose-garlanded parsonage was not al together without its thorns. Mr. Hixon knew nothing about housekeeping, and the old woman, who had always man ; ged the domestic helm for his prede cessor, had Just retired from business on a legacy. And the topic which Maj. Clark and he were discussing at .hat espre al momerjt was how to re place Betsey Ann Suedecor. So. Mr. HIxon took the major's ad vice and inserted an advertisement In 'he Snagtown Weekly Trumpet. The major gave It to the editor with the dollar which was to guarantee its prompt Insertion. And the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet had not decorated the breakfast table of the citizens for half an hour on the Wednesday morning of Its Issue when Mr. HIxon, studying out the "fifthly'’ of his next week's sermon, was startled by a tap at the door, and In walked a lady. A young lady. And rather a pretty lady, with a flush on her cheeks as red as the Kev. Mr. Hlxon's own rose buds, p.-etty brown hair and dark blue eyes veiled with long lashes. “Ah!" stammered Mr. HIxon, rising rather awkwardly, "how do you do, Miss Lennox? A fine morning after the rain. Pray be seated—pray favor me by occupying this chair!” For he had seen Barbara Lennox several times, tailed once at her fath er's snug little farmhouse, and put down her name In his list of people to be visited frequently. He liked Bar bara, and he did not think that Bar bara disliked him. There are somo people with whom we feel that we should like to be better acquainted. And pretty Barbara was one of these, classed on the white pages of the min ister’s memorandum book. So, of course, when she came to the *tudy that July morning, looking sc fresh and pretty In her pink muslir dress and gypsy hat, with Its wreathi of daisies, ho was a degree or so more awkward and clumsy than usual. | "But I can't stay," fluttered Bar l.ura; "I have come to see you on bust dobs, Mr. Hlxon.” "On business. Miss Barbara?” •'Yes.'' nodded Barbara; "I hav< reen the paper this morning,” "Oh!" said Mr. Mixon, reddening u| to the roots o' his hair, as he remem bered the advertisement. "Ah. yes Have you any trustworthy persot whom you can recommend?" "Myself," said Barbara. Mr. Hlxon moved back his study .-hair, thereby seriously tnconvvnlcue Ing the tortoise-shell eat, wh'ch wai asleep iu the sunshine dost Uehiui him. "You!" said he. "Yea," eald Barbara; "why not? sm stub a mere ueelesa doll In th< world now. Dos t you think.

"I al luded to an editorial In the same pa per which called the attention of the public to the lack of workers In the Held of domestic missions.” Mr. Hlxon heaved a deep sigh. "Dear, dear," said he, "how very redlculous. I must have made myself—” "What must you have thought ol me?" cross-questioned Barbara, sud denly perceiving the weak side of her own position. And, without waiting for his response, she dropped the as tonished cat and flew out of the study, crossing the old orchard, where the cherries were winking their scarlet eyes through the leaves, and at length losing herself In the woodB beyond. “I have offended her," said Mr. Hlx on to himself. "How clumsy I must have been! I must go after her, at once!" He did so, overtaking her Just where a rustic bridge spanned the quiet brook below the woods. "Barbara," he pleaded In piteous tones, "Miss Lennox—I didn’t mean to say anything which could offend you!” "Oh!” cried Barbara, “I am not of fended. I am only vexed and angry with myself!” "Barbara!” “Yes, Mr. Hlxon!" “You are determined not to try the situation?” Her eyelashes fell. “I am not worthy even of that, Mr. Hlxon.” "Barbara?” "Well, Mr. Hlxon?” "If you won’t be my mission Sunday school teacher, will you be my wife?” "Mr. Hlxon!” we can ai least worn lugeuier, r>ar bara, in our Master's vineyard," said the young clergyman solemnly. "And ever since I have been here I have felt that I lacked something to get force and energy to my daily ministra tions. I know now what It Is—a wife! Dear little Barbara, will you marry me?" "If—If you think I am good enough," said Barbara, drooping her head so that he could scarcely see the shell pink glow of her cheeks. So they took the advertisement out of the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet, and were married quietly—and Mrs. Septimus IHxon brought with her to the parsonage a faithful old domes tic, who asked for no better lot in life than to work for "Miss Barbara and her husband." And Harbaru has at length achieved the great longing of her life-a mis sion! She is a pattern clergyman's wife, an earnest worker, a faithful mis sionary in the home Arid. And Mr. IHxon has cut the little advertisement out of the village paper, and preserves It among his dearest mementos. 1 "t didn't advertise for a wife." said 1 h«. "but I got one Kb.
