Naecy's Nod
Story of an Old
CLOSE TO THE SEA, perched
on tall white cliffs, Is the
pictty village of Dnlnton.
Thp old pray church mounts
guard, ns It were, over the
InhuliltunlH, from Its posi
tion on a small hill at the
bark of tho village street,
which Is ns Irregular and as pic
turesque, with Its black wooden houses
and red-tiled roofs, as any artist could
possibly dcslrp.
A little apart from the others, and
nearer the sea, there once stood a cot
tage, a four-roomed little place.
It stood In a small but thady garden,
which was simply crammoJ with fruit
and flowers. There was always ft
cheerful hum of be?s t!wre, and de
licious scents of mlgnouutte, and laven
der, rosemary and cabbage roses, which
are sweeter (1 maintain) than uny
single one of tho grand blossoms wq
arc so familiar with In these days at
shows.
Some hives were ranged on one side,
and "Miss Nancy'e honey" was tjulte
famous It had a flavor quite Its own.
She gave as a reason the fact that the
bees had a way of haunting a certain
lime tree, which gave her such grate
ful shade on hot summer days, and
whose blossoms fed her bees.
Inside, the cottage was spotlessly
clean, exquisitely neat, and It bore tho
unmistakable air of being the abode of
a lady. The furniture was all very old;
Indeed, the Chippendale chairs and
bureau, and the tall, brass-faced clock
would have fetched quite a goodly sum
at a sale In London.
Hut they were relics of Miss Nancy's
old home; the faded carpet and cur
tains and chintz spoke of poverty yet
the bowl which held some tea roses was
of priceless "Marcollnl," .and tho old
silver on the round table, which she
had taught her little maid to set so
daintily, was so beautiful that ono
wondered how It had got Into her pos
session. She sat there dreaming over her
breakfast one morning, her fingers ab
sently clasped round her tea cup,
which, like everything else In that
queer little house of contradictory Im
pressions, was of tho most delicate
Kind.
She was very slender, was Miss
Nancy, and rather tall than short.
One's first thought on neelng her was:
"What 'an exquisitely pretty girl she
must have been." One's second: "But
she is pretty still." And she was. Her
complexion hail kept Its freshness
though the blue oyes were Just a trifle,
faded, and held an expression of
pathetic patience, the origin of which
one would have liked to know. Her
hair was still fair and abundant so
fair that the white threads, here and
there sought out by tho strong June
sunlight, hardly showed as a rule.
Her expression was very sweet, and
one was not surprised to hear that Miss
Nancy was adored by every man, wo
man and child In the place, who would
all willingly have gone through tiro
and water to do her a service or save
her from any hurt.
Her family had once been a very
wealthy one. Her father began life as
son and heir of the "squire" of tho vil
lage. But, alas: a malignant fate must
have surely attended his christening,
for he fc-rcu" up with a mania for gam
bling, which broke his mother's heart,
plunged his father Into hopeless debt,
ami, finally, things became so bad that
the place wus sold, and his only daugh
ter. Nancy, was left at his death with
a hundred a year and some family heir
looms which nothing would Induce her
to part with.
She could keep them, she said, with
a clear conscience, since the sale of
the place had cleared oft the debts
which fully explained the existence of
the costly furnishings and old china In
the cottage by the sea, which she rent
ed for an Infinitesimal sum from a
neighboring farmer, who had known
her fcliieu babyhood, and supplied her
with butter and milk.
His measures and his weights were
surprisingly queer, but Miss Nancy
never guessed thnt he gave her double
weight and overflowing- measures, and
she paid hla modem bill without the
least suspicion that there was anything
odd In its being so small.
As she sat there dreaming a shadow
fell ucross tho table and a man stepped
Irto the room through the old-fashioned
window which opened onto the
garden.
He was tall and thin, with the face
of a student, and, Indeed, the rather

bent shoulders and the furrow between
hla eyebrows would have told one so
much at n glance.
He had the largo, dreamy eyes of an
enthusiast, and his thread-baro coat
seemed to point to the fact that what
ever It was that ho worked at, he did
not find It remunerative.
Miss Nancy got up quickly and held
out two welcoming hands.
"You are Just In time," she said? "to
havo some breakfast. Rachel's scones
are still hot, and this comb Is fresh
from the hive!"
He sat down without more ado, and
let himself to be waited on, and, while
he was enjoying the new-laid eggs nnd
other homely food she supplied him
with, he told her that he had brought
her a new book and quite a budget of
news, v
The hook was ono she had long
wished to read a modern masterpiece
but she gave a hnlf-slgh ns she took
It, and said:
"It must have cost a dreadful lot of
money! You ought not to bring me
such presents, Uoger!"
Roger Leslie laughed.
"It's all right." ho said, "because,
henceforth, I won't, be quite dependent
on the few pounds I have made by my
articles and criticisms, for I havo been
offered, and I have 'accepted, the post
of village organist not a grand one,
It Is true, still It means 50 a year,
and sometimes, as you know, - have
been sorely In need of SO pence!"
He spoke In the matter-of-fact way
of a person who knows that what he Is
stating Is nothing new to his compan
ion, and also nothing to be In the least
ashamed of.
They were both Intimately acquaint
ed with poverty and all its restraints;
yet It had neither soured nor stunted
them but it explained the pathetic
patience In Miss Nancy's eyes.
Roger Leslie nnd she had loved each
other for 15 long years, but had always
been too poor to marry. Tho son of
an Oxford professor, he had been given
a splendid education, nnd then his
father had suddenly gone bankrupt
and died. leaving his boy to light hla
way in tho world as best he could.
An uncle gave him a small allow
ance, and a cycling tour had landed
him In this quaint old villugu, which
had so charmed him that ho took up
his abode there, had fnllen In lovo
with "Miss JJancy," nnd ever since had
been the brightness and comfort of
her life, which she allowed to herself,
had hitherto teen rather lonely.
But jih to marrying her of course,
It was Impossible. So he bided his
time and waited, hoping that his book
would some day be accepted by some
publisher meantime, he wrote scien
tific and literary articles for maga
zines, and so eked out u small In
come. He had honestly tried to gt work:
indeed, ho would willingly havo taken
employment of any description, but
for every post which was empty there
seemed to be hundreds of candidates,
and Roger was never the ono who was
selected. He had no influential Inter
est for one thing, nnd was too dreamy
and absent-minded to push himself
forward at the ciuclal moment, so
there ho remained In the old world
village. "Wasting his life," said thJ
relations who had never lifted one
ringer to help him but who shall dare
say one life is wasted which sweetens
and comforts another9
'That Is a piece of news, and of lm
portance " said Miss Nancy. "You are
right to havo taken the post how dlf
fently the organ will sound en Sunday
now! Of course, It was the vicar who
offered It to you?"
"Yes. He told me he would have
liked to ask me long ago, but whllo
old Matthews was alive he simply
couldn't, for, as you know, he haa
spent his life here, nnd nobody can
remember any other organist, but now
me poor otu chap is dead '
"Of course, that makes all tho dif
ference," she said quickly.
"Yes. Now for my other bit of
news old Mntthews' things are to bu
sold by auction next week In tho mar
ket place. They say It will be tho
queerest collection of nondescript ar
tides ever seen In this countryside."
"I have never been at an nuctlon,"
said Miss Nancy, absontly. "I wonde
what It is like."
"Oh, very commnnplncr as a vule
iiut sometimes, when ono has known
the people, as on this occasion, it is
rather pathetic."

Then the talk drifted away to tho

A week later Mien Nancy was walk
lng through tho village, ft basket on
her nrm. It was . Saturday and sho
had been doing her marketing. Sho
held in ono hand her purse, in which
was more "change" than usual; every
thing had been cheap that morning,
somehow, and she was meditating
whether sho could send for that book
she know Koger wanted. To give each
other such things was an old-established
custom between 'theso two to
buy them each one for him or herself
would have seemed such ft dull pro
ceeding! ,
As she approached the market place
she saw that something unusuat was
going on; then she suddenly remem
bered It was tho day on which old
Matthews' effects were to be sold, nnd
she paused on tho edge of the crowd.
When tho people saw her they made
way for her ut once, nnd there wero
many touchlngs of caps and greetings.
The auctioneer was a. stranger. lie
had an oddly-shaped head, nnd n cur
iously rasping voice which attracted
Miss Nuncy's attention.
A big Jar had JUBt been "put up" for
sale, and somebody had 'bid ft shilling
for It. Another cried "two" and the
auctioneer, who had noticed that a.
lady hnd come upon the scene, and
knew their fancy for "oddments" of
china, looked toward Nancy, and
bowed Insinuatingly:
"Make it five madam, and have It."
Nancy hardly heard the words, but
sho saw the bow, nnd bent her head
with tho Instinctive kindly courtesy
whlch'had won her no many friends.
She had scarcely done so when down
came the hammer, nnd she was asked:
"What name, and the address?"
"Netherby, Hosemary Cottage," she
gasped out, confusedly and wondered
vaguely why she was presently nsked
to hand over five shillings, which she
meekly did. and thou followed a boy.
who volunteered to carry her jar home,
In a very hazy frame of mind.
She met Itogcr Leslie just p.s sho
reached her garden gate.
"Where havo you been?" he asked.
"And what on earth Is that "
"I've been at an auction," sho said,
weakly, "and and they made niu buy
that!'
Koger Leslie shouted with laughter.
His Intimate knowledge of Mlsi Nan
cy's ways and Miss Nancy's character
gave him the clew to the whole thine;,
and ho laughed himself Into thv house,
nnd into his favorite chair.
Miss Nancy pretended to bo highly
offended, but ended by laughim; too,
and the little maid who presently
brought In the tea tray Inwardly won
dered what could be tno cause of all
tho merriment.
When they hnd had their tea Miss
Nancy hunted out a book she said she
knew she had somewhere, which told
one all about old china, Its marks, and
value.
At last she found the book, and
Roger hunted through It until ho found
a. description which exactly suited her
purchase.
When he had found It ho dropped tho
book and stared at her.
"Nancy," he said, solemnly, "that jar
to a connoisseur Is worth anything you
like from 1.C00 to 2,000 guineas!"
Miss Nancy grew white.
"Not really!" she gasped.
"Yes, really, and if you want to sell
It, I know one of tho men at Christie's,
and will communicate with him."
"Want to sell It!" said Mlssx Nancy.
"Of course, I want to sell It, but I cer
tainly didn't want to buy it!"
This fact seemed rather to rankle,
much to Roger's amusement, In Bplto
of the other more Important fact that
it was worth a small fortune!
Well my story Is almost told.
The man from Christie's came down
in a state of wild excitement. A client
of theirs had nBked them to look for
the jar, which he believed was still In
existence, and which was the fellow of
the one he already possessed.
Uoger, luckily, was present at the In
terview, and took tho whole matter
Into his own hands. When he men
tioned the sum Miss Netherby would
consent to take for her Jar the man
from Christie's rather opened his eyes.
However, as he presently allowed, it
was worth every penny of It. There
was no equal to the Jar in Europe, ex
cept tho one In the possession of his
client, and tho end or It was that he sal
down thero and then and wrote a
check. Then ho packed up his trcas
ure nnd departed, leaving Miss Nancy
and her lover together.
It wouldn't have been MIps Nancy If
sho hadn't held out both hands to
Itoser as tho door closed behind th
stranger and said Impulsively:
"Now, Itoger we can be married!"
Just for a moment he hesitated could
ho live on tho money? Hut su"h a
thought between two such peoplo could
not live long. Ho just took her In his
nriiM ind kissed her, not ence, but
many limes, so that question was an
swered In the best possible way.
It really seemed that everything nil
of a sudden had begun o prosper for
the next thing that happened was tb
acceptance by a well known publisher
of Roger's book, which causea a great
stir, and many literary people sought
tho honor of knowing tho nuthor.
Tho lattei (said hl3 relations) did
"such a foolish thing" ho built a house
quite close to Rosemary cottage. The
cottage Itself ho bought from the far
mer who owned it, and formed part
of "Miss Nancy's" new hon-e.
"What they wanted to Hvo In such
nn out-of-the-way kind of a place for,"
said his relations, "they could not un
derstand. Hut Roger and his brldo didn't care
In Iho least whether they understood
or rot. They had lived 15 yaars nt
their lives in that sunny, old world
spot They loved tho sound of tha sua
lapping against tho cliffs In summer,
or tossing, nnd moaning unendingly
restless In the stormy seasons of tho
year.
The simple village folks always had
been and always would be their friends.
They wero delighted to mako the ac
quaintance of the literary and scien
tific people who wero unxluus to meet
the talented uuthor, and soon there
was an Interchange of visits. Hut
when they wero once more alone Nan
cy and Roger would look at each other
and laugh and what Roger said meant
lots of things to Nancy, but would
have sounded like nonsense to outsid
ers. It was always tho same time
honored joke:
"All this is the result of Nancy's

ORGANIZED WORK IN
MISSION FIELDS
AMERICAN RELIGIOUS ENTER
PRISE IN THE LEAD.
Of tha Seven Great Organizations
Doing Foreign Missionary Work
, Tour Are American Ecumenical
Conference on This Subject to Be
Held in New York in April
There nro 350 organizations, big and
little, doing somo form of work In for
eign mission fields, but there arc seven
(treat societies, four American nnd
three British, that do vustly more than
all tho rest put together. IJy great la
meant tho nmount of funds which they
annually expend, nnd the number and
slzo of the missionary enterprises which
they maintain. These seven arc, In or
der: The Church Missionary Society, Lon
don, tho Missionary Society of the
Methodist Church In America; tho
American Presbyterian Hoard, the Lon
don Missionary Society, the llrltlsh So
ciety for the Propagation of the Gos
pel, the American Hoard, Ronton, and
the American Baptist Missionary Union
of Boston. Rut while four of these
seven are American, tho three British
societies have larger annual resources
than have the four American ones. Not
only so, but two of the British socie
ties aru organizations in tho Church of
Kngland, while all of the four Ameri
can represent different religious bodies.
LARGEST OF ALL.
The largest single missionary organi
zation In tho world, the Church Mis
sionary Society of London, was a fruit
of tho evangelical movement in the
Church of England. A part of Its work
Is the maintenance of a vast training
school for missionary workers. Ono of
its largest fields Is West Africa, where
Its missionaries gave the first Impulse
to tho exploratton of that vast contin
ent. It is now following up these ex
plorations with Gospel stations, so that
whole pages of Its reports read like n
chapter out of Henry M. Stanley's book.
Its other grent Held is India. Here it
stands for British rule and prestige.
But It has gone to other fields, notably
to China, nnd Its $2,000,000 a year spent
In tho cause of tho Gospel, circle the
globo with their up-llft Influence.
The second largest of the world's
grent missionary organizations Is tho
American Methodist, which spends
about $1,000,000 a year. Its fields are
China and India, although It has work
In many other lands. Methodists of
Canada outstrip all other rellgloui
bodies of tho Dominion In missionary
contributions and activity, ho that If
there be added together the contribu
tions of Methodist North America tha
total reaches $1,450,000 a yenr.
Presbyterians North stand third of
tho seven organizations, and spend
$S"3,000 a year. Its largest Held Is India,
If number of missions bo tho test, but
In number of communicants China sur
passes all. It has important woik In
Korea, Japan nnd Persia, nnd In the fur
east It has, In educational and political
ways, exerted marked Influence, often
nt critical times. It leads all other
boards In tho number of Its medical
missionaries, both men nnd women.
UNDENOMINATIONAL.
Two of the remaining four societies
are British and two American.
The London Missionary had in
Its early days ,as did the Ameri
can board, Its counterpart on
this side of the Atlantic, supporters
In many religious bodies, and hud nnd
still has a constitution strictly unde
nominational in Its wording. But it
has In practice come to represent the
British Congregatlonallsts. While
China nnd India uro Its great fields,
lt peculiar Held Is Madagascar, where
tho work of Its missionaries was far
reaching and wonderful. The South
Seas and nlso South Africa have seen
many of Its workers. It spends $675,
000 a year, or about the same sum as
the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel and the American board.
The "S. P. G.," as everybody calls
this famous society for short, Is tlio
oldest of Protestant bodies for strictly
missionary work, and grow out of the
needfor the planting of missions In
North America. It planted, for exam
ple, famous Trinity parish, New York
city, and through its influence gnvo
that now vast corporation Its financial
start. For many years Its labors wero
confined to British territory.
The American board, now Congrega
tional, grow out of the haystack con
ference, as everybody knows, nnd
dates from 1810, the oldest of American
missionary organizations. So early
did It get started and so wisely has It
administered Its trusts that It now
makes tho largest showing on Its $G50.
000 a year of any missionary body. Its
work In India and In China makes

The greatest Baptist foreign organ

Boston. In ono Important respect It

Into existence In a curious manner.
