Just how it happened Stephen did not
clearly understand at the time, although af-
terward it became sufficiently plain to him,
but a few zninu es later he found himself
standing in th green aeclusion of the old
-orchard at the orth side of the farm house,
leaning againat stout -limbed apple tree,
-while Miss Lori g sat before him( in a ham-
mock which ha been etretched there by
the young peopl, whont they had just left in
the close parlor. :
"How good i is t6 be in the air," she
said, gently.
Stephen nod ed without speaktng. He
was stirred by e emotions of the last half
hour, and confu ed by his nearness to this
beautiful wom n. He recognized fully
now that • s le . was beautiful, with
her gray es es under long dark
lashes, her face set like a flower upon the
round, white hroat, and the wonderful
ripple and glin of her brown hair, which
curled off de icately from her temples.
There was som thing in the contour of her
head and in th poise of it which vaguely
recalled. to him classic heads of fair Greek
women. Her t roat was bare to a point be-
low its soft Vi lute hollow, and the round
arms from the elbow down. Stephen had
never seen wo en who wore their gowns in
thislashion ani it gave him a° ehame-faced
unwillingness o look at her. She was
dressed in crea -white stuff, thin and soft,
with lines of y llow in it here and there,but
without frills onfurbelows, and she wore no
jewels. The o time of her head and waist,
as she sat in t e hammock, was girlish, and
yet Stephen w s sure that she was not very
young, perhap not younger than himself.
As he did no speak she began again ; this
time her look seined to compel him to lift
his yes and let hers.

Please do no mind my telling you, I al-
most felt that I ought, you
She epoke eseechingly, fOr Stephen had
lowered his ey s again • he words seemed
to beat them down, and hi face was very
grave. • A at ange tumult was going on
within the yo ng man's min , awakened by
her words, no less by her presence. He
saw the scene hey had left t rough her eyes
suddenly, as h could, never ave seen it be-
fore, in all i s grotesquen 88, and he was
angry with he for making im see it,angry
that hip world was so far apart from hers.,
Closely mingl d with this feeling was a,
strange, exciti g perception that in the reel
nature of thi gs it was to her world that
he belonged. Her grace and charm, her
subtle sympat y, her swift perception of the
good in what e said, were what h'e craved,
were what be onged to him. Emily Merle
was bright az d clear-headed, and she was
his good corrir de, but she never hesitated
to point out h s mistaken and criticise his
opinions. He thought of her now .for an
instant, with faint sense of indignation,as
he raised hie eyes at last, and by an odd
little accident caused sight of a name em-
broideried in elicate tracery on the hand-
kerchief whic lay in Miss Loring's lap.
Then all thou ht of Emily was forgotten in
the surprise ith which he read the name,
"Stephanie."It was a new name to him.
How strange 4hat her name should be the
counterpart o his own ! Was there not a
meaning in it A sudden flight of intelli-
gence passed letween their eyes as his were
lifted from 4ie handkerchief, and Stephen
colored deepl
"I wonder f you know that my name is
Stephen," he aid, simply.
tYYes." she returned ; ?how very strange
it is. We ou ht to be good friends. There
ought to be, o you not think so, a kind of
invisible affinity between us."
i
"1 believe there is," Stephen answered
soberly, seekit g to hide a strange, intoxi-
i
eating sense of exultation which seemed
mounting hotly to his brain.
And yet as he followed Stephanie Loring
under the orchard boughs into the farm-
house, whithe they were now called to the
wedding feast there was beneath the ex-
citement of tie moment ,a perception, not
fully clear as et to his own consciousness,
that it was les to her that he owed that
affinity of wh ch they had spoken than to
what she stoo for—the-unknown world of
beauty and 4 and human perfection to
which she bel nged.
In the week which followed the wedding
Stephen Cast e spent many hours at the
Deerings' havi g been invited to call by
Mrs. Deering hen they met after the mars
Hoge. Helot nd great enjoyment in the
hospitable bo se, where he was welcomed
with unfeigne cordiality whenever he pre-
sented himsel , and given the freedom of
the pleasant r orns and rounds.
Stephanie Loring remained with the Deer-
4nes through° t another week, and Stephen
ttlways found 4imself her guest in particu-
lar. She play d and sang tie him as he sat
in the great m sic room, and opened to his
pbssession a ri w realm, for he had never
imtil neve h ard good music. At other
times they sat under the oak trees near the
ouse, and wh le she was busy with some
anity hancliw rk he read aloud from book§
ivhich he loved, and which she -received
'With quick i sight and responsive sym-
pathy.
Then there- ere long, quiet talks in the
evenings on th4 piazza, which some wayal-
ways turned at last upon the church to
which Stephanie belonged in -New York;

its, tvhich for t e time absorbed his days,
with his thoughts in a riot. What was
corning to him 7Could it be that he did
not belong, atter all, t6 the Thornton parish
and to the people who loved him so tender-
ly ? Was it disloyalty to let his mind dwell
on these now i possibilities ?" Surely other"
men left their ehurches. Might it not be
that another mare could reach the hearts of
„
these people better than he ? How rarely
was a word said to show thethis sermons had
made even the slightest impression 1 Steph-
anie Loring diseussed ,thern freely with him;
noticed all the points, the irripressive pas-
sages, and. Stephen found her appreciation
very sweet. How would it be to live among
people like here -quick to perceiye his best,
gracious and delicate in their recognition of
his work? Ho•w' would it be to be in a position
of influence -._40t to be a country pastor any
more? What would the fellows say if such
a thing ever d d happen? What would Dr.
Endicott of rthe Divinity School., say.?
Stephen had always felt,witha mingled hu-
mility and re entment, that the old Doctor
did not rate hi ability rery high. It would
not be laltoget ell distasteful to him to make
the Doctor p n his eyes 1 Thus his
thoughts, earhs or idle, would cross eaeh

Iwas in November, one §unday morn-
ing, that something happene1 which shook
Thornton throughout its length and breadth.
The bombshell consisted merely in the
,presence of two strenge gentlemen at the
morning service. They came late and left
early, driving out from Pembroke, and they
made themselves known to no one. Mrs.
Wescott, who sat behind them during the
service, however, formed her own conclu-
sions, which she imparte to a knot of wo-
men in a cohner of the v stry at noon.
"They set right in fru. 4 of me." she said,
"and they Was both dre sed in their black
broadcloth, as fine as aa im, and their col-
lars and cuffs shone so y u could 'most see
your face in them. One of them had on a
big ring With a stone n it; he was the
young-pne. The old, fell r,he had long,gray
side whiskers, and look d kind o' militery.
And now let me jest tell you that as sure's
my name's (Electy Wesc • tt, and I'm itandin'
here, that hrian was o n father to - that
han'some lOokiiit young woman that come
here to chnrch a couple of times with the
Deerings. I Don't you remember? Be had
jetj
Fisuch eyes, and eat such a way of hold -
in' his head. And if you want to know
what I felt like callin' out when I see them
two men *eel& out of the church, nr tell
you : "Shoot them while they're goin'
through the door 1 They've come to steal
our minister.'"
"But What makes you think so, Lec ?"
somebody asked.
"Think! so? I know so," Lecty sniff-
ed, conteinptuously. "Those men don't
hail frotx Pembroke, and they don't
hail from nywhere this side of New York. ,1
Now thet uch I'll bet you, if it is Sunday,
and in the meetin-honee too! What did
they come up here in their broadcloth
and gold (rings for, and come to Thorn-
ton to meet& if lwa'n't jest to spy
out what I Mind of a preacher we've got ?
Oh, yes, rte heard of such things before
now. That's the way they do it in them
big city churches. They hear that some
poor little strugglin' church in the country
has got a minister they love and they're all
'united on, and they think. 'Well, if he's as
,smart as they say maybe he'll do for xis;
•he's most likely too big a man for country
;folks.' But they don't send and ask him
Ito come and preach a sermon to them fair
and square. No,they send a couple of spies
to see if they think he'll do, and then they
wait a sp II, and the next thing you know
your mini ter's got took sudden to go off
and pay a visit to his old pastors or to his
grandmother, or else it's to look at a new
organ. He keeps kind ot still about what
direction he's gOin' to travel in, but pretty
soon he gete a call and then, 'Hurrah,
boys ! It's off and away to the city.' It's
the Lord eallin' and no mistake ! You'll
see if it don't come out as I say."
And so it did, in fact, befall. A month
from that daY, Stephen Castle read his res-
ignation as Pastor of the Thornton Church
in order to accept the call of the Church of
All Good Spirits in New York City to be-
come their pastor. He spoke in frank and
manly fashion to his people, who heard him
with blinding tears.He told them plainly
that he bed become restless and dissatisfied,
not through any fault of theirs, butibecause
he ,wanted to be where he could improve
and develop among other men. He expeet-
, ed life to be harder than it had been here,
where they had all been so gentle to his
!faults and mistakes, and he knew that he
could never love any other people as he

1 Wescott et the close of the service, mopping
her eyes I with a very wet handkerchief.
" And I don't eee any kind o' ese for my
part in getting a new bonnet this winter, do
, you, Aunt Elizy ?"
The old lady sat beside her in the pew,
and a tear or two was slipping quietly
'down her withered cheek.
" That'e your way of putting it, EIecty,"
r she said quietly. "There don't seem very
much left to live for, not just now. But
it's all right, Stephen," she said, looking up
' into the face of the young man who had
come to the end of the . ew and stood lean -
i ing over to speak to ier with flushed face
and dim eyes. "It's a I right,Stephen. It
will be a different life from thisfor you,
and you're young and strong, and you ought
to have a chance to grotv. I'm sorry for the
people here: I sha'n't stay long to mind it.
I expected you would be close by when the
call came for ene, and I thought I would like
to have you hold my hand, but it's all
right." Andthe little old lady looked up
through her tears in the bright, sweet way
, which Stephen loved.
' "You are to iiend for me when you want
Me, Aunt,Eliza," he said earnestly, his own
voice breaking: "I Will come to you. I
promise ha I shall never change to my
Thornton people; they will always be mine,
just as ranch as they are now.",
He was ,protesting, but she -put up her
finger and lightly touched his lips, and said
with a quaint smile:
"You think so now, but you will know
better when you are older."

"That's Thee, Jem."
. A band or. "troupe" a young men with
hands and faces blackened, and dressed in
very grotesque costumes, arranged them-
selves before a Christian tradesman's door
one day for an exhibition of their peculiar
" performanees." After, they had sung
some comic and plaintive melodies, one of
the party, it tall andinteresting young man,
who had the "look" of one who was be-
neath his proper station, 'Stepped up to the
door, tambourine in hand, to ask for a few
pennies. Mr. Carr, taking one of the
Bibles out of his window, addressed the
youth thus ;
"See here, young man ; I will give you a
shilling and this book besides, if you will
read a portion of it among your comrades
there, and in the hearing of the by-
standers."
" Here's a shilljeg for an easy job 1" he
chuckled out to his mates; "I'm going to
give you a 'public reading d "
Mr. Carr opened at the, 15th chapter of
St. Luke's gospel, and pointing to the llth
verse, requested the young man to com-
mence reading at that verse.
"Now, • Jem speak up," said one of
the party, "and earn your shilling like a
man 1"
• Jem took the book and read: "And he
said, a certain man had two ons;eand the
younger of them said to his father''Father,

ing point of that young prodigal's life. He
thought of the advice of tlhe Christian
friend who had thus providentially inter-

were made to his parents, whieh resulted in
