The Bev.George Peters of the `First
•
Presbyterian church of Ilomervllle was
as
a young man of about 25. It was his
first call, but it was agreed. that his
sermons were the best ever delivered
before that congregation. He was also
popular in a social way, and, taken all
around, he had a standing that few
young ministers' could boast of. When
he had been in Elomerville six months,
he had made just two enemies. These
were an olcl maid named Angelina Har
-
Fie and her father. Neither was an open
enemy but Angelina was piqued and
provoked and somewhat Lmbittered be-
cause the minister .had kept clear of
the matrimonial nei she would have
thrown about hint. She would ,.have
been willing to make a match of it
with almost any one, but it was the
ambition of het' soul to marry a clergy-
man. She struck the young reverend's
trail at an early date, and she followed
it with ardor and persistency until he
, was obliged to give her the cold, snub.
1 As she was one of his flock, and as her
father was a would be pillar of the
church, the snub wasn't Ice cold or full
of carpet tacks, but he made his mean-
ing plain nevertheless.
From that hour Angelina Harris had
it in mind, to do that good man up. She.
didn't give her hand away by throwing
out little slurs and innuendoes, because
she would have found no one to listen
to her, but she set herself to watch and
bide her time. Ere who watches and
bides finds an opening sooner or later.
As Angelina was keeping tab on cur-
rent events a widow named Moreland
moved to, Elomerville from Chicago.
n
She was your„ .rich,-"•vivac!ous and
took her place at the head of society
at once. She occupied a house exactly
opposite the one in which the minister
lodged, and it was also next ,dooron
the left to that occupied -,by Mr. EIar-
ris She hadn't got settled yet when
Angelina made up her mind that her
ue was tP 'v"*. h for

don't think any one of us ever st•espect•

she must have had qutte a number to

"1\lebbe it wasn't exactly a flirta-

after awhile.
The Rev. Peters said he was tieing'

over the sermon he was to preach or,i

her father. The Widow Moreland had
insisted on being present. Yes, she
knew all about flirtations but really
