happy and trusting bride, twenty-livo
years ago. "
"Oh, James, can nothing be done?
"No, dear; I havo paid tho interest
until it has eaten up all my ready
monoy- It would bo better to take
this money and live on it as best we
can than to go on with the ruinous
policy of paying interest on mortga
ges." "But to think, ray bnsbanil. that
you must loso the homo of your child
hood! Every part of it is dear to
you, I know."
Sho took his hand within her own
and tried to comfort him as much as
her overflowing heart would pormit.
Ho raised his bead suddenly, a light
coming into his eyes behind the tears.
"In tho kitchen, James. Sho
just would co to see about tho
potato pudding for your dinner.
Sho
you
thinks no one can make it for
like herself."
"And no one cnnl" declared
tho
father proudly. "Oh, Maria," tho
knowledge of the dread news he Lad
to toll breaking npon him with re
newed force "this thing will kill
her."
"So, James ; she will take it bettor
than either of us, for there is a
strength in her young heart that our
old ones do not know."
"And whero is Alice. V
"She went to spond the day with
Sarah Marston. The longer yon dc-
1 lay tolling her, James, the better it
will be. She will have only tho less
tnuo, thou, in which to make you
miserable."
Tho father sighed. What a differ
ence there was between his two
daughters!
"Oh, father, hove yon come at last?"
cried a delighted voico at that mo
ineut. "I was afraid you were going
to wait until tho pudiling was cold.
Then it would be spoiled,"
"Come to father, daiuo, and let the
puddiug wait, awhile at least. I have
something to say to you."
Sho came, and, despite her 13
years, perched herself upon his knee,
and, throwing her arms around his
neck, placed her check against his,
rubbing it back ami forth softly.
"ding ono of your kitten songs to
futher, Damie," he said, closing bis
eyes. Ho would put oil telling the
bad news a little longer.
Sho cuddled down against him, pnt
her mouth to his ear and began to
sing. No ono else could have heard
it. No one else did she wish to hear
it. It was for him alono a love song
all bia own a song liko the gentle
purr of a kitten, comforting, soothing,
yet a complote little song within itself,
and its words nettled down in her
father's heart, each as a tiny soug
bird, making a music of its own.
It was this loving, cuddling, kitten
ish way she had that had gained for
her the pet name by which not only
her father, but others called her
"Little Damo Purraway." Her real
name was Azalea, called for the flower
that crowns with such glory tho gar
dens of hex native State.
It seemed indeed a cruel thrust to
fallow that purring heart-Bongof love
and content with such dreadful nows.
"O, father, must you really give up
your homo?"
Jlor ouu thought was for him.
"Yes, Dame Purraway."
ne could say no more for the tears
that were ready to come,
"But it is not no dreadful since wo
can all go away together," she said,
comfortingly. "Yes, we will be to
gether, father; only think of that,
and suroly wo can find some place to
call home. If it is only a cabin, and
you were there, father, it will be home
to me."
Then she rnugglod still closer
against his heaving heart and purred
another love song in his ear. As they
were sitting down to the table Mrs.
Edgerton said suddenly : "Why,
where is Professor Puckaber?"
"O, tho dear old professor," said
the Dame, starting np from hur seat.
"I know he is buried in stones and
bones and roots and such things at
this very moment, aud not thinking a
thing'of his dinner. Why, he would
n't know if he hadn't any all day long !
I must run and wake him np."

ting in his room surrounded bj what
would have been to unprofessional
eyes a most uninviting collection of
the specimens he had gathered the day
before.
"Professor Puckaber! Professor
Puckaber! Professor Puokaber!"
called the Dame three times before
an answer came.
"Hey 1" said tho professor without
looking up.
"Dinner! Come to dinner!"
"Vcs,antcdiluvian beyond a doubt !"
declared the professor, absorbed in
tho task before him.
"No, professor," returned the Dame
gaily ; "the dinner isn't antediluvian ;
it is rather a modern alTair of Hopping
John (peas and rico), tomato pilau,
broiled fish, sweet potatoes and corn
bread. Do como, or it will bo cold."
Then sho took him by the arm aud
coaxod him away from his specimens,
inarching off with him triumphantly
to dinner, for between tho Damo and
tho professor there was a genuine good
comradeship. lie had been her
father's classmate and was now his
best and closest friend.
"I uoticod your father was disturbed
at dinner," said tho professor later
that afternoon to Azalea.
This went plainly to show that, al
though tho professor could get so ab
sorbed in stones and bones aud tho like
as to forget bio dinuer.hu ret hud eyes
for other things.
A cloud camo over the bright ia:o.
Sho stopped in the path whero sho was
walking with tho professor to look up
into his eyes, hor own beginning to
grow misty with tears.
"Ho was disturbed. O, dear Pro
fessor Puckaber, ns his best and deur
est friend, it need not bo kept from
you, 1 am mro. My father is about
to loso his home."
"What? Bless my eyes!"
They were very bright eyes, despite
the years they had seen, usually shin
ing like stars whed the professor took
oil his glasses. But now they seemod
to bo troubled wifh a saddon dimness.
"He only told us today," went on
tho Damo sadly. "Oh, it is burtiug
him eo ! He loves the place, for he
was born Hero and here every year of
his lifo has been passed. But now it
must go, for it is mortgaged, aud those
who havo the mortgages will wait no
longer."
"What is tho amount of tho mort
gages?" asked tho professor.
"Three thousand dollars."
"A pretty good sum! Hut tho caso
if n't as bad as I thought," ho added.
Then ho asked : "How long a time has
your father? That is, how long will
it bo till the men come to claim the
place?"
"I think father said ho had thirtv
days."
"Thirty days? Well, that is rather
short, lint much can be douo in thirty
days. Aud see here, Miss Azalea Ed
gerton," pushing back his glassos, to
gaze at hero with tho most engaging
Irankness, "you and I aro the ones by
whom it is to bo done."
"I, Professor Puckaber?"
"Yes, you, my Damo Purraway."
"Oh, you surely aro laughing at mo !"
and there was a noto of puin in her
voice. "What could I do? Oh, if I
only could!"
"Of course you can," announood tho
professor, decidedly. "Now listen,
Dame Purraway by tho way, that
was a quaint conceit of your father to
call you that I am going to take you
into partnership. Puckaber and Pur
raway, how does that sound? Fiue.ch?
Now hearken, Partner Purraway I
Well, 1 suppose you kuow, for I am
sure yon have heard your father say,
tho company by which I am engaged
sent me out hero to locate some
valuable deposit. So far I haven't
found them, that is to the extent I
hoped, though I think I'm not far
from the scent. But I want tho help
of your younger and keener eyos.
Your father tells me you are tho
greutcbt little woodsman in all the
country round."
"Yes, professor," sho said, with
some pride. "I do kuow a great deal
about the pine lands of South Caro
lina ; the dearest lands in all the world
to me," she added, her eyes shining,
"becauso I was born among them."
"And about the ugliest, "declared the
professor with candor." That is the lob
lolly pine land, and tho poorest, too,
in themselves. But, if 1 am not mis
taken, Partner Purraway, there v that
in these same poor lauds as wilt yet
make tho fortuues of some of their
owners. I have my eyo now on a par
col or two of laud where I am sure tho
treasure is, only I don't want to locate
it here," his eyes sweeping the rather
stunted stretch of forost thnt lay
around them. "Guess why, Partner
Purraway?"
"These are my father's lands," an
nounced the partner, promptly.
, "Exactly. You'll do for the part
nership, I see. Widoawaka as to interests."
"But this isn't, by toy means, the
best part of the land, professor. "
"I know it, Partner Purraway. See
that marsh over yonder? Ugly, isn't it?
and apparently of no value whatever.
Yet, if certain signs I can read serve
me fair, I wouldn't give it for all the
rest of the land put together."
"Oh, professor.
"That's all true, Tartnor Parra
way." v maaaaa
"Partner Purraway, of course yon
believe in the Garden of Eden?"
The professor asked the question as
they were standing on a alight rise of
groand at the edge of the forest All
around them were the brown needles
of the pines, while in front stretohed
the selfsame marsh that had previously
received the professor's highest com
mendation. "Why, Professor Pnckaber, how can
you ever ask the question?"
"Well, yon never thought of it bo
ing located around her, did yon?"
She stared at him with opening
eyes.
"Of course not."
"Well, there are those who believe
it fully, I among the number," lifting
his shoulders as though to bear the
full weight of the assertion. "Far
too many evidences to doubt it. The
great Agassiz believes it with all his
sonl. He fairly routed the scientists
who attempted to hold out against it.
Situation, topography, prehistorio re
mains, snob us found nowhoro else, all
go to show beyond doubt that "
"Oh, Professor Puckaber, what a
grand azalea! Do look! Did you
ever see one in its first year growing
so luxuriantly? For it wasn't here
last year. I am certain of that. I
know the woods too well. Tha birds
dropped the seed. Isn't it a glorions
purple?"
"Purple? Pnrplo?" repeated the
professor, "and growing luxuriantly
in ono year? and by the marsh, too? I
suy, Tortner "
But the partner didn't boar. Sho
had grasped the little grubbing hoe
and started away.
"I am going to dig it up to trans
plant in tho garden," sho called to
him.
Stio swung tho boo with nil the forco
of her strong young arms. For the
first stroke or so she had no trouble,
tho blado sinking (loop into tho dark,
moist soil. But suddenly she encoun
tered something that gave her a great
deal of exercise. Sho strnck and
pulled away at something, but it would
not yield. It couldn't bo the roots of
tho shrub; it was too hard. Besides
sho hud beeu careful not to striko near
enough to cut into those.
"Oh professor," sho exclaimed,
quickly, "I do believe I have dag into
a pile of rocks! but how could thnt be
about here, where thero isn't a single
one?"
Sho stoppod, looking at him with a
deeply puzzled face.
"Rocks? What?" shouted the pro
fes3or, starting and leain; dwn tuu
slight incline in such a way hii feet
almost went out from uudcr him.
Thou he nctually'snntohed the lion
from her hands ho, the polito and
gentle professor and there, before
tho astonished eyes of Partner Purra
way, ho began to dig around tho bush
like ono poFso.-Hed, even diggiug it np
piccoby piece in his excitement. Tun
earth fell in showers aud the partner
had a time protecting fitco aud cloth
ing. Between such efforts sho stared
in bewilderment at Professor Pickaber.
Uud he lost liis souses?
Suddenly he dislodged an oblon-j
massof hard, grayish substation, look
ing liko rock, uud yet not liko it. He
threw it ubovo his head with a shout.
"1 kuow it would bo found," ho
cried. "I said it! Tho marsh told it!
But 1 wasn't expecting it hero ; rather
over thero by tho betid of the river.
Hurrah for you, Partner Purraway!
I know your scent would provo tho
keener of the two. Do you know what
you havo done fur your father, my
dear?" taluu-,' oT his glasses, his eyes
shining like suns; "well, you havo
paid olf those mortgages aud a sight
besides I"
"l'rofe8r Puckaber," pleadod tbo
bewildered partner, "will you please
tell mo what you are talking about?
What is it you have in your hand?"
"Why, phosphate!" cried the pro
fessor, looking at her as though he
though she ought to know. "Fertil

THE ESSENCE OF CBBISTI.IXESH.
The art of photography is now so perfect
that the whole side of a great newspaper
can be taken In miniature so small as to be
carried iu a little pin or button, and yet
every letter and point bn perfect. No the
whole life of Christ is photographed In one
little phrase "not to be ministered uuto,
but to minister." He eama not to be
served if this bad been His aim lie would
never have left heaven's glory, where
He wanted nothlnK.where angels praised Him
and ministered uuto Him. He came to
sen's. . He wont about doing good. He al
together forgot Himself. He served ail He
met who would receive His service. At
last Ho gave His life In uttermost service
(firing it a ransom for others. He came
not to be ministered unto, hut to miuixter.
Yon say you want to be like Christ. You
firay Him to print His own image on your
loart. Here, then, is the image. It Is no
vague dream of perfection that we are to
think of when we nsk to be made like
Christ. The old monks thought that they
were in the way to become like Christ when
they went into the wilderness, away from
men. to live in cold cells or on tall columns,
lint that is nut the thought which this plo
ture suggests. "To minister" that is the
Christlike thing. Instead of fleeing away
from the world we nri to live among mun,
to servo them, to seek to bless then), t' do
them good, to give our life for them. J. It.
