CHAPTER ONE Continued. 2 The great white bird. In the Con gregational church tower that being Bob's thought of It Hew out across the valley with Its tidings of good will. To tho little Shepherd It seemed to any : "Blng Blng Blng Blng Blag ! Corn-lug, (;oui-lng, Oom-lngl!" Many of the friends of his mother mostly poor fdlk of the parish who worked In the mill came with simple gifts and happy greetings. There were those among them who thought It a blessing to look upon the sweet face of Bob and to hear his merry laughter over some playful bit of gossip and Bulge Crooker said that they were quite right about it. Mr. and Mrs. J. I'atterson Blng were never to feel this blessing. Tho Shepherd of the Birds walled in vain for them timt Christ mas day. Mrs. Blng sent a letter of kindly greeting and a twenty-dollar gold piece and explained that her hus band was not feeling "quite up to thu mark," which was true. "I'm not going," he said decisively, when Mrs. Blng brought the matter up as he was smoking In the library an hour or so after dinner. "No cripples and misery In mine at present, thank you I 1 wouldn't get over It for n weelc. Just send them our best wishes nnd n twenty-dollar gold piece." There were tears In the Shepherd's eyes when his mother helped hlrn Into his night clothes that evening. "I hate that, twenty-dollar gold piece!" he exclaimed. "Laddie boy! Why should ye be sayln that?" The shiny piece of metal was lying on the window sill. She took tt In her hand. "It's as cold as a snow-bank !" she exclaimed. "I don't want to touch It! I'm shiv ering now," said the Shepherd. "I'm It away in the drawer. It makes me sirk. ,lt cheated me out of seeing Mr. Blng." CHAPTER TWO The Pounding of the Phylllctlnes. One llrth' woiil largely accounted for the success of ,1. I'atterson Blng. It wns the word "no." It saved him in moments which would have been full f peril for other men. He had never nude it bad Investment because he knew how and when to .ty "no." It fell from his lips so sharply and decisively that he lo.st little time In the consideration of doubtful enter prises. Sometimes It fell heavily and left a wound, for which Mr. Blng thought himself in no way lesponsl ble. There was really a lot of good will in him. He didn't mean to hurt any one. "Time Is a thing of great value and what's the use of wasting It In Idle palaver?" he used to say. One day, Hiram Blcukltisop, who was Just recovering from a spree, met Mr. Blng at the corner of Main and School streets and asked him for tho loan of u dollar. "No sir!" said Mr. J. I'atterson Blng. and the words sounded like two whacks of a hammer on u nail. "No sir." he repented, the second whacl: being now the more emphatic. "I don't lend money to people who make it had use of It." "Can you give me work?" asked the unfortunate drunkard. "No I But If you were n hired girl, I'd consider the matter." Some people who overheard the words laughed loudly. Poor Blenklu sop made no reply, but he considered the words an Insult to his manhood In spite of the fact that he hadn't miv manhood to speak of. At least, there was not enough of it to stand up and be Insulted that is sure. After that he was always racking his brain for something mean to say about J. Pat terson Blng. Blng was a cold-blooded tlslt. Blng was a scrlmper and a grinder. If the truth were known about Blng ho wouldn't be holding his head so high. Judas Hcariot nnd J. Pntterson Blng wero off tho same bush. These were somo of tho things that Blenklnsop scattered nbroad and they were, to say tho least of them, extremely unjust. Mr. Blng's inno cent remark touching Mr. Bicnkln kov'tf lulttfortuno lu not being a hired fi k -rHtr J - - ,m i x . Ml M Bachelle BY IKWIN MYEItt'. I girl, arose naturally out of social con ditions In the village. Furthermore, It Is quite likely thnt every one In BIngvllle, Including those Impersonal creatures known us Law and Order, would hnve been much happier If some magician could hnve turned Mr. Blenklnsop Into a hired girl and have mnde him a life mem ber of "the Dish Water Aristocracy," as Judge Croaker wns wont to call It. The community of BIngvllle wns noted for Us simplicity and good sense. Servants were unknown In this village of three thousand people. It had lawyers and doctors and profess ors nnd merchants some of whom were deservedly well known and J. Patterson Blng, the owner of the pulp mill, celebrated for his riches; but one could almost sny that its most sought for and popular folk were Its hired girls. They were few and sniffy. They exercised care nnd discretion In the choice of their employers. They regulated the diet of the said employ ers and the frequency nnd quality or their entertainments. If It could be said thnt there was an aristocracy In the place they were It. First, among the Who's Who In BIngvllle, were tho Ollllgan sisters who worked In the big lirlck' house of Judge Crooker; another was Mrs. Pat Collins, seventy-two years of age, who presided lu the kit chen of tho Itevcrend Otis Singleton; the two others were Susan Crowder, n woman of sixty, nnd u red-headed girl with one eye, of the name or Featherstraw, both or whom served "I Don't Lend Money to People Who Make 3 Bad Use of It." the opulent Blngs, Some or these hired git Is ate with the family save on special occasions when ilty folk were present. Mrs. Collins nnd the Ollllgans seemed to enjoy this privi lege, but Susan Crowder, having had an ancestor who had fought lu the Revolutionary war, couldn't stand It, and Martini Featherstraw preferred to eat in the kitchen. Indeed there was some warrant for tills remarkable1 sit uation. The (lllllgan sisters had a brother who was a magistrate In a large city and Mrs. Collins had a son who wtts a successful and popular butcher In the growing city of Hazel mead. That part of the village known as Irlshtown and a settlement of Poles nnd Italians furnished the man help lu the mill, nnd Its sons were also seen more or less In the fields and gardens. Ambition and education had been working In the minds of the young In and about BIngvllle for two genera tions. The sons and daughters of farmers and ditch-diggers had read Virgil and Horace and plodded Into the mysteries of higher mathematics. Tho best of them had gone Into learned professions; others had enlisted In the business of great cities; still others had gone in for teaching or stenog raphy. Their success had wrought a curi ous devastation In the village and countryside. The young moved out heading for the pths of glory. Many a sturdy, stupid person who might Have made an excellent plumber, or carpenter, or farmer, or cook, armed Willi a university degree and a sense of superiority, had gone forth In quest of fame and fortune prepared for nothing in particular and achieving firm possession of It. Somehow tho elective system had enabled them "to get by" In a stato of mind that ro- Komhled tho Mojave desert. If they did not care for 1C.tIn or mathematics they could take a courso In Illcrology or in The Taming of tho Wild Chlck adeo or lu somo such easy skating. BIngvllle was like rouny places. Tho xim F '5 CT I tff.--X. r Lml young tint! fled from the Irksome tasks which had roughened the hands nnd bent the bucks of their parents. That, briefly, nccounts for the fewness and the sultriness (thrive referred to. Enrly In 11)17, the village was shaken by alarming and astonishing news. True, the sinking of the Lusl tnnln and our own enlistment In the World war nnd the German successes on the Busslan frontier had, In a way, prepnred the heart and Intellect of BIngvllle for shocking events. Still, these disasters had been remote. Tho fact that the (Sllllgnn sisters had left the Croakers and accepted an offer of one hundred and fifty dollars a month from the wealthy Nlxons of Hnzel mead was n event close to tho foot lights, so to spenk. It caused the newa of battles to take Its rightful place In the distant background. Men talked of this event In stores nnd on tho street corners; It wns the subject of conversation in sewing circles and the Phtlomnthian Literary club. That day, the Blngs whispered about It nt the dinner table between courses until Susnn Crowder sent In n summons by Martha Featherstraw with the applo pie. She would be glad tn see Mrs. .1. Patterson Blng In the kitchen Imme diately after dinner. There wns n mo ment of silence tn the midst of which Mr. Blng winked knowingly nt his wife, who turned pnle as she put down her pie fork with a look of determina tion and rose and went Into the kitch en. Mrs. Crowder regretted that she and Martha would have to look for another family unless their wages wore raised from onr hundred to one hundred nnd llftv dollars n month. "But, Susan, we nil made an agree nunt for a year," said Mrs. Blng. Mrs. Crowder wns sorry, but she and Martha could not make out on the wages they were getting everything cost so much. If Mary Ollllgan, who couldn't cook, wns worth a hundred dollars a month Mrs. Crowder consid ered herself cheap at twice that Hgure. Mrs. Blng, lu her anger, was In clined to revolt, but Mr. Blng settled tho matter by submitting to the tyr anny of Susan. With Phyllis nnd three of her young friends coming from school and a party In prospect, there was nothing else to do. Maggie Collins, who was too old and too firmly rooted lu tho village to leave It, was satisiled with a raise of ten dollars a month. Kvcn then she received a third of the minister's snl ary. "His wife being a swell leddy who hud no time for wurruk, sure tho boy was no sooner married than ho yelled for help," as Maggie was wont to say. All this had a decided effect on the economic life of tho village. Indeed, Hiram Blenklnsop, the village drunk ard, who attended to the lawns nnd gardens for a number of people, de manded an increase of a dollar a day in his wages on account of the high cost of living, although one would say that Its effect upon him could not have been serious. For yours the historic Hgure of Blenklnsop had been the des tination and repository of the cast-oft clothing and the worn and shapeless shoes of the leading citizens. For a decade, the venerable derby tint, which once belonged to Judge Crooker, had survived all the Incidents of his nil venturous career. He was, Indeed, as replete with suggestive memories na the gruveynrd to which he wns wont to repair for rest and recuperation in summer weather. There, in the shade of a locust tree hard by tlio wall, ho was often discovered with his faithful dog Christmas a yellow, mongrel, good-natured cur lying beside him, nnd the historic derby hat In his hand. He had a persevering pride in tlmt lint. Mr. Blenklnsop shoNved u sur prising nnd commendable Industry un der the stjmulutlon of Increased pay. He worked hard for u month, then celebrated- his prosperity with a night of such noisy, riotous Joy that ho landed in the lockup with n black eye nnd a broken nose and an empty pock et. As usual, the dog Christinas went with Idin. , When there wns a loud yell In tho streets at night Judge Crooker used to sny, "It's Hiram again. The poor fellow Is out n-IIlruming." William Snodgrass, the carpenter, gave much thought nnd reflection to the good fortune of the Gilligan girls, ir a hired girl could earn twenty-five dollars a week and her hoard, n skilled mechanic, who had to board him self, ought to earn at least flfty-. So he put up his prices. Israel Sliced, the plumber, raised his scale to corre spond with thnt of the carpenter. Tho prices of the butcher and grocer kept pace with the rlso of wages. A period or unexampled prosperity set In. Some time before, tho Old Spirit of BIngvllle had received notice that its services would no longer be required. It had been tin industrious nnd faith ful Old Spirit. The new generation did not intend to be hard on It. They were willing to give it a comfortahlo homo as long ns It lived." Its homo was to be called The Past. There it was to hnve nothing to do but to sit around nnd weep nnd talk of bygono days. The Old Spirit rebelled. It re fused to abandon lta appointed tasks.

John Qulncy Adams, retiring from tho pres idency in 1820, roturned to Washington In 1831 us a member of tho house of representatives at tho ago of sixty four, FriondB fenred this step would dim tho luster of his great famo, but his service in congress only added to his renown.

I. In His Relation to God (vv. I. ''). He is dedicated tn Cod. He con scientiously presents his entire being to Cod. I. The bnls of this dedicutlon (v. 1). "Tlie metcles of Cod." The grand reason for the dedication of ourselves to Cod Is because we are recipients of the mercies of Cod. '-', The nattiie or the dedication (v. 1). (1) An act or the free will. Thoe who voluntarily present themselves to Cod, He consecrates lo Ills Service. VI) It embraces the whole mnn (v. 1). By "bodies" Is meant the entire per sonality body, soul and spirit (I Tliess. ri:'J.'I). The inner life expresses Itself through the body. (.4) It N u living sacrifice (v. 1). In the Old Tes tament the victim was slain before be ing placed upon the altar, but in our cum1 Cod wants our bodies ns llvijig instruments of .service. (4) it is for rational service (v. 1). The logical outcome of our union with Christ Is an Intelligent service ror I Urn. :i. The obligation of the .one dedi cated to the Lord (v. 2). It Is non conformity to tills world. The one who bus handed himself over to the Lord will not be fashioned by this evil, devll-governed age (I John .rt:li)). II. In His Relation to His Fellow Christians (vv. 0-BI). 1. Love without hypocrisy (v. ). We should not merely pretend to love people while hating them in our hearts. 1!. Abhor the evil and cleave to the good (v. 0). Cod's children must be like him. Cod hates wickedness of ull .orts, so His children will hnve the same attitude townrds sin that He lias. 3. Be kindly nffectioned one to an other (v. 10). This Is to he a broth erly love, namely, that which passes between those who are of one blood members of the Mime family. 4. In honor preferring one another (v. 10). This is most dlhlcult. It Is natural to claim the best places for ourselves. Chri.M pleased not Him-s-elf. fi. Be not slothful In business (v. 11). This hardly refers to eculnr af fairs, hut rather to the church life which wns to be characterized bv ?enl energy and warmth, being regarded ns service to the Lord. ' 0. Hejolciug in hope (v. 12).

Distributing to the neeesNity of salnt.s given to hospitality (v. I"). It I obligatory to ClnMlniis to divide their wagi's with fellow Christians who uie destitute (Kph. -i:2S). III. In His Relation to Unbelievers (vv. 14-21). 1 Do good for evil (v. 1 1). We arc to bless those who persecute us. The natural man pays hiu;k in the same coin, but the lenewed man responds In kindness anil good deeds. 2. Be sympathetic (v. LI). We Miotihl rejoice with those who lejolce and weep with lho.se who weep. Christ entered into the Joys of the wedding nt Cana, and wept with Mary and Martha. .'i. Find points of agreement (v. 1(5). We should seek for points of agree ment in nil things, instead of being vain in our own conceits. 1. Live honestly before nil men (v. 17). We should so live that our char acters may attract others to Christ. 5. Live In pence (v. IS). We should exhaust every means to bring about reconciliation. If the other party wilt not yield, we should see to It thnt It Is not our fault. 0. Be not vindictive (vv. 19-21).
