"I tell yoa, noighbor, it's tbe beat

on Slowtuan, briogiog down hid fist
with a resonant thump upon tbo
counter of Titus' store. 'It doo
just beat all oatur' for cbarqiog milk,
tad a man can mako more butter in
an afternoon with ooo o' my dow
chums than ha can with forty of tbo
old pattern.'
.".Now, ain't that . patting it rath
er Strong, doacoo ?'' asked the store
keeper, with an incredulous air, at
tbt same time wiaking knowingly at
tbo loungers, who might any day
have been scan hanging raound Tim
Tiluo Uighvilla storo. "It strikes
no that lorty is a largo number.
Draw it mild and say twenty I''
"1 was in earnest, Tim Titus," re
plied tho dcaaoo. 'That churn of
mine is a big iorention and no mis.
taka. It'll just drive overy thing of
tbo kind out of the market, when I
get it patented and introduced. Y,
sir e-e!you won't hear of no other

"You had Utter look out, deacon,'
suggested ooo of the listeners. "More

"Oh, I han't afraid I" returned the
deaeoo, as he gathered o p bis nu
merous paroets and prepare d to leave
tbe storo. "Besides, I han't got tbe

soon enough. Jut set them t hinge

of the store, atowed tho artiolos aader
tbo aoat of hia aooleat-looking '-carry

drove awsy toward home.
"Deuoon thinks ht's got his fortunt

My wifo says sbs got some of it last
week
To (his Tilnt tnsdo no reply, but
became suddenly busy ia reluming to
their places the several boxes and tea-
candies which bid been taken down
to snppty the deacon's wants,
Timothy Titos was a roao whoso
whole life had been spent locking for
a short road to fortune. He cared
very littlo through what that road
might lead, so long as tbo desired
end waa attained.
Being a Yankee,, Titus had natu
rally tried bird at inventing, with no
ory grtat aucccas ffjwevor, as many
useless models' of machines of vnriout
nttuiet, buried smidst tho dust scd
cobwebs, of a certain closet nnderthe
aire, could have affirmed, had they
boon gifted with speech, io every one
of which Timothy bad. for a
time, btliovsd his fulurs greatness hy
bidden.
Rut they had all proved failures,
and, at tho ago of forty, Timotby Ti
tus found himself no belter oft than
are the majority of country storekeep
ersnot quite as well off, io faot. for
his good s did not bear tbo highest
reputation, cither ss to quality or
quantity, and the pcoplo of Ilighviile
used to (folks will talk, you know)
that bilf bis nutmegs were woedea
hia sugar sand and bis coffee, burn-
d peas; and, lor this reason, mure
thin one dollar went (fur his was tbe
only flora in tbe village) into the
pocket of tho storekeeper in the next
town, fire miles swsy.
MDer mo I "thought Titui, as the
ay woro oo ; "wby coulJo t have
laventcd sometbinz liko that some
thing that would be of genoral uso
Wanted iu every oily, town village
aod hamlet,' as the advertisements
say 1 If I had, I might have stood
some chanco of making a fortune, and
that would pay me for what I've was
ted on that pea-sbellor, lamp trim
mer, and all tbo rest of that trash.
But I didn't, and I supposo that's tbe
end on it."
Uotwi thstuading this apparent eet
tliog of tbo subject, tbe storekeeper,
could not banish it entirely. Do what
bo would, thoughts of the deacon's
patent ehura would intrude themselves
iati bis mind ; and more than once,
during the day, bis customers heard
him muttering to himself', "Patent
churn and a fortune I Patent churn
aod a fortune I"
Iu all probability, however, this
would have been tbo end of it bad not
Titus, tho next day, o pied the wor
thy Deacon Slowtuan, bis wife, and
all the little Slowmon, dressed iu their
S uaday best, and on their way to
town.
"Tbey are going off for the day,"
tbonght Tim. "Tbo deaoon is go iog
to town about Ibe model of the ch'iro,
but, good gracious I be won't Lave bis
patent out this throe months, at tho
rate be'll move. I just wish I could
get bolt, of bis 'double baok action
ehura' I'd be a riob man while he's
tbla king about it;''
As he said this, a auddoa thought
entered bis fertile brain, whioh fur
art instant but an instant only-
brought tba blush of shame to his
obeeks.
"Wby not go to tbe deiooo's bouse
aad get the secret of the cburn while
be was away V
At first, as I have saiJ, be repelled
tho thought, but Timothy's moral na
ture wee none of the finest, and tht
aioro be turned the subject ovor in bis
niiud tbe more atrongtb ii guined, un
til at last he could no longer resist.
"Tbe deacon uever'll . guess," ho
muttered. "I'm alwaa getting up
something, and be knows It. Wby

dy in bo time, and then fur mooer,
No more at ere keeping fur Tim Titut."
Leaving Ibe store ia charge ef his
solitary assistant,- he ; hastily put on
hia bat, aad hurried toward tbe rssi.
donee of tho utfeonsoioue dotoon. who
little dreamod tbe peril that menace d
bis precious Invention.
The boast was by no moans near to
Timothy' store, but it wss reached
alld8t; and tttalimj quickly around
to tba roar of tbe butlJinj. takin
good care that oo ono was io sight, he
oegna te look about fur some mono
ofenteriog theSlowmao mausiun.
He tried the doors, they wore all
ft then the windows, but they
likewise roasted his efforts, aod bt
wa just giving up in despair, w hen
the waiving or a white, curula In tht
summer breoit struok hit eye; It was
from one of the windows on the sco
ond story.
"No matter ," thought Titus,
as he ea pied a tall cherry treo.
whicn grew oIoho to tho hoti.io. l
can Babiiy ciiuio mat, sod got ia it
I t I.e.

The cherry trco was soon climboJ.
and tbo houso catored, and afier a
short search, lbs churn ws discover
ed quietly rtponing iu the diiry-rooru,
which oponol oiT from 3Irt. Slow
man't kitcbon.
'What in enormous great tbiojr It
is I" muttered Tim, it be itood look
out. "Its as lis as throe. What
ia the world did tbe deacon want to
mako such a Lrgo oni for? Why, I
could get into if, I really beliove."
"But I'd better hurry up," ho ad
ded, taking out paporand pencil, "fur
the sounor I amoutoftbi tho better.
Tlioro'sno knowiog what may turn
hastily took djwoths difforoot

iocd tbe maohine iasiJe and out,
ojoasureJ its dimentions, and was just
mak iog suro that be understood
thoroughly the motion ot lbs sell-
propeller, whoo a sound at the kitch-
e a door made him start with terror
and alarm.
It was tbo voice ol tbe deacon, chee
ry and clear, saying :
"Come in, mulher ! corao in, Sally !
Who'd h:ivo thought of meeting you
ou tbe road you, whom we suppos
ed to be away out West !''
Refute Titus bad lime U move, the
kilcbeu door was fluD; open, and ho
heard the whole family uuuiiu ia.
Fur au instant' ho stuuJ paralyzo l,
torescaps seemed impoaeiule, as the
uairy-rojui was merely a BheJ, open
ing off the kitcbon, lighted by a win
dow high up from tho flour, but wilb
no door, aui the ouly muuus of exit,
lay through tho very rou.n iu w hicu
tbo deacun now stood.
II beard thoiu coming hear J
ilts Sluwuiau's exclamation of sur
prise at seeing tbo dairy doeu door
standing opoa. when she was "certain
sure she shut it" heard the deacon
say "porhaps some oue is ia there"
and, scarce knowing what he did, he
loaped into the unconscious cause of
all bis dilTieultios, tbe solf-aa ting lid
ulusing him iu ss tightly as auy jack
tn-a-box, while bis heart boat fuotur
and footer as the footsteps of the dea
oon approaehod nearer aud uearor to
the churn.
Portunaloly, or otherwise, ho was
a man of unusually small suture, and
he found the mammoth buttor muker
amply large enough to hold hiai, aud
still leave loom for tbo deaooa's voice

"This way, Sister Sally !" it said.
"inis is my new mventiou. I expect

And duwa oaino of stream of rich

"I was just going to town about tho
