William West his boon settled as clci
Ejmin in Mercer for fifteen jcars, and
has taken his pluco In the eomunlty as a
man of Judgment and character. He had
been taken from an Institution n.s a lad,
and put thiough tollego by u 1'rof. Wll

who bequeathed to him n considerable
Bum of money. Amy Townsend has tome

to put his best tlrmic-lit not upon his

or Sunday school matteis, or his as

chanced that he saw less of Amy than
in the eaillei pait "f tlir-lr eng.iemtnt.
He had but little time M think of her,
and absolutely no time to think of hirn

prompllj crushed.
"As though Amy had anv time for
that sort of thing!" bald Mrs. Paul.
'Do ou see those presents? She has
got to acknowledge everyone of them!
Amy, join Cousin John nnd 1 will en
tertain Mr West; voir tan wilte your
notes help, and let him look at Sou:
that's eiulte enough foi him'"
Amy Mnlled at him aciobs a barri
cade of biUer bile-a-luac.
"Hilly thinks stiver plctme frames,
and buiblies, and things are dreadtul
wasto of monej," bhe baid; "Just think

that I am making oui mnnneis foi you

"Oh, Tiuth'" said John Paul, loung
ing about the loom, with his hands In
his pockets "tiuth, my dear little
cousin Is governed by the law of bene

"The paison has no such base and

sponded, piomptly; "have ou, Hilly?
You don't think tiuth ib governed by
the law of benefit "
"I think tiuth-telllng is," he assuied
her.
John Paul assumed that look of art

one sees on the countenance of the un
pioteeteel male, who, In the bosom of
his famllv, finds himself indorsed by a

bald William West. "You hadn't
asked him if he had ever drank. I
don't believe jou lost much in not en
gaging him, poor fellow."
"Oh, Blllj-, I think it was lather fine
in him," Amy pxotested, looking up
from her notes
"My dear, he wa a perfect fool!"
Mrs. Paul corrected her, with some
w.unrth.
"I don't see anything fine," the min
ister saiel, simply. "In the first place
there was a lack of reserve, a lack of
privacy, in rushing into confession,
which betrays the weak nature, There
was also self-consciousness, In dw eli
ding on his sin. And In the third
place "
("Blllj', this sounds like a sermon;
firstly secondly," Amy murmured,
signing her name to her thanks for the
third abparagus fork.)
"In the third place, if the man has
reformed, there was an essential un
truth In calling himself a sinner,"
"Well, I don't quite agree with that,"
began .Mrs. Paul.
"Yes; your'e right; you're right,"
John Paul declared. "Good Lord, West,
suppose we w ent about confessing some
of our college experiences!" the senior
warden of St. James grinned a little,
but his wife looked displeased.
"I don't believe you ever did any-
f( M
thing ery bad, John, but If you ellel, I
think you should have confessed to
me."
"I stole some slsns, Kate," he told
her; "can jou ever forgive me?"
Amy, listening, smiling, said with
that charming slelew Ise glance at her
lover" "Cousin Kate is quite right! I
should never forgive" a man who didn't
tell me everything! Hilly, tome here
and confess. Have vou ever done any
thing wicked''"
"We are all miserable sinners," John
Paul murmured. "I say so publicly
every Sunday "
"Hut you don't specify!" the minis
ter reminded him, with a laugh.
There was a moment's silence, then
Amy Townsend said:
"Yes, but, Hilly, doesn't it say some
wheie that confession is good for the
soul?"
"Perhnps it Is," he said, dryly, "but,
generally speaking, It's mighty bad for
the mind."
There was an outcry at this fiom the
two women.
"Of couise," Mrs. Paul said, "simply

again, lustice and courage sometimes

"Well," said Amy, with home bpitit,
"I don't believe In taking lespect, oi
ot love, on false pretences! If I had
ever done anv dreadful thing, I should
want to confess; good gracious, for the
mere comfort of it, I should have to'
It would be like walking on a volcano,
to keep a secret!"
William West went over to the table
where she was writing, and, finding a.
place among the clutter of presents to
lean his elbow, sat down and looked at
her with good-humored amusement.
"Where are you going to draw the
line' How far back are jou going in
confessing youi bins.' Please don't tell
me that you slapped your nurse when
jou wete three. It would be a horrible
shock to me to discover such a crime,
so jou ought to consider how un
happy confession would make me!"
"I bhall gi all the way back," said
Amy, with decision; "if I had done any
thing wrong, I mean very wrong, I
should tell you If I had orrly been a
j ear old'"
Kov. Blllj laughed. "A despot ate vil
lain of one jeat!" but as he spoke, a
puzzled look came into his eyes.
"I think," Amy Townsend proceeded,
"that honor and fairness demand
speaking out. And as for making somp
one else unhappy," her oIce dropped
a little, and the color came up Into
her lace, "where people love each oth
er, they have a right to unhappinesb "
"Listen to Amy clamoring for un
happlness," John Paul commented;
"don't work, my child; you'll get jour
share. Thete's enough to go lound,
I've noticed."
Mis, Paul laughed, hut a note of
reality had come Into the eaielebs tnlU
that gave her a bense of being a tliltd
party.
"John, you aie flippant," she said;
"come, let's leave thebe poor things
alone; tlicy's djing to get rid of us.
Ariel besides, if Ant is going to confess
hot sins since she was one year old, it
will take time."
"That I consider a most uncalled for
reference to my twenty-seven jeats,"
Amy retorted; and "besides, I've two
trrore notes to write."
"And I must go home," Wrlllam West
said, rising in a preoccupied mannei.
"Whj but I thought you weie going
to stay to dinner!" Mrs. Paul pio
tested, with dismay.
"Oh. you must stay to dinner," Amy
urged.
But her lover was resolute. Nor did
he, as usual, tty to line her out Into
the ball that he might make his adieus.
With the slight formalitj which was
part of the charm of the man, he amlled,
nnd said good night, stopped a moment
to discuss with his senior warden
something about the appropriation for
repairs to St. James, and then, with a
sober abstraction deepening In his face,
went home through the delicate June
dusk which was full of the scent of the
loses, that grow behind the gaiden
walls of the old-fashioned part of Mer
cer. Bov. William Wpst went into his
study and shut the door. He was' a
man who was always accessible to his
people, yet his lips tightened with im
patience when he found a parishioner
awaiting him, and saw a pile of notes
on his writing table. But it was only
for nn Instant; ho listened to the anx
ieties of his caller, with that concentra
tion of sympathy which can put self
aside; and when the man went away it
was with the other man's heartfelt
grip of the hand, his heartfelt "I thank
you for coming tp me; Clod bless jou,
my friend, and give jou wisdom."
Tho letters were not so easy; but he
went through them faithfully, answer
ing them pr filing them away; appeals
for help, for money, or work; two invl-
tntlons; two leeiuests for Instruction
from ladles eif his cemgregntlnrr. He
was awnru of a sense of haste In get
ting through with these things; n sense
of haste eVetr In disposing eif another
caller, a bov, who came to sny he had
doubts about the existence ot God, and
who felt Immensely Important In con
seeiuenee. "I tell you, Mi. West," this youth ch
elated, nodding his hend, "of couise I
don't mean to be hnrel tin the church",
of eotirbe I see the alue of hucIi a be
lief In keeping the nmses strnlght,
but, for thinking men!'.'
To treat this hort of thing borlously
and patiently Is one of the trials eif a
thinking man who happens to be a min
ister.
It was nearly midnight befoie the
clergyman had his llbrarv to himself
With a sigh of relief, he shut the door,
and walked once or twite about the
room, as though tijlng to shake off
othei people's nffalis; then he bit off
the end of a cigar, struck a match, and
bat down. He put his hands deep Into
his poekets, and btt etched his feet
sti night out In front of him.
"It must be five vtars since I've
thought of It," ho said to himself.
He held his lighted elgat between his
fingers, his chin sunk on his bienst,
his mouth set In that It did line which

narrowed with thought. Five vais!
