The Old Put or. I "Ya, Ih'ngi in the eliurch ire dull— i il! at • Atanildlll, so to »p«ik. Virion Miles ought (o ipuy ops llule." j John and I were Billing on the Iron! ; porrh. Habbath iftemoon. He wis I "moking hia pipe ami looking over bis I Hihpliy pipSr. Bomritme* reading a bit t.> me, which almost put me ball iisleep, as Is natural enough when there's nothing to do to keep one awake. Hut JT I always get wide awake when he here gina to talk, ao when he laid, I said to him : *-WelI. 1 must say, ihn getting- Hred"f U>e old thing. Now. when I waa at Hpeneerville. where ihey'ee Juat'got a new minister, there was so much going on and everything so lively! There were all the ladles dying up the parsonj "ST and everybody calling there .and _■ | presenta, and the house-warming; dear 1 | rae! It all seemed to make so much good feeling—" r| "TUat'a It," said John. '.'There's no 1 . | feeling at all here. Parson Miles is a I ! good enough man. but he's slow— yes, ! 1 rather slow. • It sometimes comes over ; nie.

" , | or by old Carlo that lay on the mat, is j lit re than I can say ; but there wa'nt c n thing else w heat "that p'r*haps need ' a change, though I wouldn't be the one ) to start the idea." "No indeed," I sail; "but still he's * b.'sn here a long time." -r "Yea. ami getting a litflc old. A ' younger man now would 'liven thinga 1 up. We could pay bim a better salary '' and give hint a good setting Out- The c cbure h !a well able to do it" * "There's un fault lo be fuuud with S Bro. Miles, though," I said, for I couldn't 0 llntl it in my heart to hear him run down. 11 "Not a bit. It's only that— well— '■ only Unit p'r'aps his uaefulnesa here is " at an end. What do you say, Maria, to driving .over to hear Parson Tuttle this * evening, just for a variety f He's more 11 my style— beat* and whacks away, and 1( wakes folks up." K "What!" said I j "clear over to Bad". Bor ?" It was fen miles and nun. ,, "Yes," said he. "I'll bitch up Prancor ,j and *c can make it in an hour." je I saw be was a little rtallcas, and ^ mther Hketl . the iileaVf a rids behind 0j the c«tlt. so I made no objections. As , we got near Radnor there were lot* of a| folks on their way to church. "Parson TntUe's a nuuvthat draws," Thefemu qnlte a crowd in the entry, y ami, u we were w&ttlng'for someone to show ua to a seat, we overheard a man .. a

•ay : "You'd hear something worth hearing , to-night. MrJ! (I couldn't get hold of , name, though I tried), "Is going to , preach." 1 was afraid John had set liia heart on | hearing Mr. Tuttle, but as far aa I was , c neemed, I didn't miod hearing a | •trnllger. especially if he was like whjk. - they said, for they were keeping right , on . ' I He'a a strong speaker, yes, strong— that's Juat the word. We're always glsd when we get him on an axchange. Wonder is. s man like him's let stay a» long in a country living. None of your hop and jump sort— don't waste any force hammering out sparks, but goes at it an t drives In the truth square and solid, and thru clinches h— yes. sir. he Jnst clinches it— that's the very word.'' I could see the folks wene expecting something ajltlie mare than common by the wav they looked as they settled into their Scats. I'w*a looking about a little, trying to sea if anybody I knew waa there, for I knew a few of the Radnor folks.- (Ihongh what with running to Kites Jam's or to Susan's, now they're , married, and some hi ng or other always ailing with one or other, of the children, and the work of borne, U'a a wonder 1 ever ke«P track of anything else), and didn't look toward the pulpit at all till f I heard the minister's voice, and then I almost Jumped from my seat as I stared , at him, and then I turned and stared at • John, and he stared at me. It was Parson Miles as' suro 01 you live ! If It hadn't been in church I should 'a aughed right out, to see John's .blank look. But I sobered down, and then I 1 couldn't b« lp seeing how those people listened. It waa very plain they conafdy end Parson Miles no such small doings ; - and lr set me to nntlceing him myself a 'good 'deal sharper than I'd been of late. I tried to took K Mm End to listen to him as if I'd been somebody else besides myself, I couldn't feel to say be was' a very hsndaome man, but I made up my mind you ilpn'i often see a more enrucat scholarly face than hla. Then 1 nollcerf the sprinkling ot gray in his hair and txard, and somehow I he J tears would come into my eyre as I bc- [ can ti. inking brer the long years ht'd Iwen among u«. I couldn't rememboi s lime or sickness when he hadn't brought strength and romrort and I could al- ■» most hear again how often his voice had seemed to bring d >wn a beam of hope and faith aa we stood by an open grave. , When ire came to his text Jobs gave I me a llutr pole, for, if you'll believe me, it waa the seme we'd beard in the morning. -J But t bad to confess to myself I hadn't "" listened much. fbrTd got into the way of thinking Brother MHee's sermons didn't edifp me any longer. I thought , U> myself, though, that il I hadniiislcn- >» then. I would now; mglwhan I saw the man we'd beard in the retry give s HtUe u«l to the other man trnce In a while, _ aa muifa aa to aay, •IBdnN I trtljou a tit that's one of his clinchers," 1 actually began to feel a little bit scared, wondering whether scene of these Radnor folks ml*htnt take k notion lo give our pastor j 1 ihi'dtJolm. aawen a, I, was a lit-

minister when the hand-shaking came, when meeting waa out. And when ecmr . one congratulated him at hearing such „ preaching all the time, be took it Just exactly as if he'd a!wsy« consldrml Air. , Miles the grratenl preacher going. ■ ^ ' m" , We didn't apeak" a word for mnrp than t half the way home, and jhen JoKH (aid: r "I say, Maria, there's such a tiling as s going farther and faring worse." [ "Well," said I.

I'll talk to the men about il. sn 1 then couldn't some of women folks see ah >ut new earpets. and papering and thinga? " 1 said ,lye»," although there was h chocking in my throat as I thought of doing it for folks I didn't care for. and it cainc right face to face before me the idea of our pastor going to reek a home strangers. I had a lunging in tny hcatt to du better by him and his than ever I'd done yet; and a feeling that he could do more for ns now that was getting a lUtie older, than he could do as a young man. But I didn't say anything, and indeed, John1- didn't give me any chance, lor he kept right speaking louder and more excitedly: "Yea, Maria, we'll set things humming.
