“ello! Thought you'd be on this

decision that surprised himself quite as
much as Lis comrade.
“Why, what's up? Turned rusty?
Come, you'll have your revenge on me
to-day. 1 shouldn't wonder if you won
enough to have a lark to-night.”
The perfume from the apple-blossoms
had given Jack a wonderful pleasure,
not unmixed with bitterness, and when
his comrade leaned over to whisper the
last sentence confidentially, the odor of
stale tobacco and liquor seemed un-
bearuble. Jack fairly blushed with

and. with a sudden realization of his
own helplessness and this bad fellow’s
power over hilm, Jack deliberately walk-
ed over to old Deacon Taft and seated
himself by him,
The deacon was surprised. Young
men did not take much to him, Per-
haps he kvew he was, at times, the
mark for their jokes, But the flowers
helped matters.
“Them’s beauties, I do declare,”
sald the deacon, *and I'm glad to see a
young fellow like you think enough of
‘em to carry "em to town. Why, I re-
member when a flower just changed
my hull future,”
“Tell me about it, Mr. Taft,” said
Jack with a sense of having escaped
from imminent peril,
“Wa'al, I don’t know as I've toldja
person about Mary’s rose in years, and
ot ant body bad told me five minutes
ago that 1'd been telling it to you, I'd
ha’ just laughed at ’em, ’t would seem-
ed that ridikerous, But seein’ them

mighty strong, and J feel sorter drawn
to you, Jack Dorset, seein’ you with

Jack felt almost as if he ought to
make some disclaimer: yet surely he
deserved some credit for turning from
temptation. After a few moments the
Deacon began:
I was a boy about fourteen—I 8’pose
you think old Deacon Taft has been
country born and bred; but at that
time I'd never seen the country; never
seen grass I could tramp on; never seen
birds ’'cept in cages, never seen any-
thing—1 was goin’ to say-—but misery,
dirt and poverty. But then, that
wouldn't be true, for there was one
lovely thing before my eyes, night and
morning, and that was my sister Mary.
She was a beautiful gul, but she'd
been sick for a long time, and so,
though she did all she could, she could-
n't do much more than keep herself
sweet and clean. Mother had died
when I was a baby, and I suppose it
| was the hard work and father’s drink-
{ing that had sickened the poor girl,

at the old deacon’s ‘narrowness,’ Well,

leave, and 1 asked for my pay. Jack,
keepex told me my father had taken my
pay in liquor! 1 was stiff and sore—I
had been up late for seven nights; and
now I hadn't a cent for Mary!
“Dear, dear! How it all comes back
to mel Well, I got home somehow,
and crept up softly, hoping she was as-
leep but she was sitting up in bed, her
cheeks like the rose by her side and her
eyes shining, I just threw myself on
her bed and cried-—though I was a boy
—gnd she had sense enough to let me,
But pretty soon I began to listen to
what she was saying and she certainly
had news, The big man was coming
for me the next day and I was to live
at his house, He badn’t chick nor
child and his wife would be glad to
have a boy around, besides his needing
help.
Hiell, the long and the short of it
was, I went and I stayed; and when
the dear old man and his wife died
they treated me like an own child and
left me all,”
“And Mary?"
“Mary? Mary was like these here
blossoms-—too. tender and.delicate Lo
last long. Yet perhaps the fruit has
come in place of the blossoms—I would
n't ha’ been much use in this world if
it warn't fer Mary.”
Jack sat silent looking at the blos-
soms, Was not fruit coming from that
far-off life even now? Another life
was changed that day by means of a
flower—only a blossom picked before it
could fructify, but shall we say “What
a pity!”
From that day Jack Dorset dated
two friendships, Before long Deacon
Taft knew the story of another flower,
for Jack confessed to the old farmer
his progress on the downward road, and
how a branch of apple-blossoms had
stopped him, while Kate Travis and
her husband learned to look for Jack's
coming as one of the simple pleasures
of their quiet home, little dreaming
how God-given was the impulse to send
the apple-blossoms to town.

As soon as the wheat is harvested, if
