certain sweet expression that beemcd in keeping with the day her bible lay open upon tbe bureau and after fastening the last glove button she jeaned upon her elbow nhilejshe reed a verse or two then

monte occupied the eiid of his friends pew with no apparent thought regarding the worlds opinion if lie chose to absent himeelf from church for twenty years ho counted it bis own business ami not an others if ho wished io attend divine ser vice on the sunday succeeding that score of years he looked upon it entirely as his own affair arid hot as a subject of comment for his neighbors so if people looked for signs of awkwardness or disquietude on account of hib unaccustomed surroundings they ooked in vain whenj at ihe close of the sermon ths ninister came down from his desk and he choir softly chanted christs invitation come unto mo it must be acknowledged that more eyes wero directed towards the jorner of mr hopkinss pew than were beut on iho little figure standing aloiie at the tread of

iu the seat just behind reported afterwards that chessera whispered to her companion you need dot etay on my account unless you choose but the law yer only smiled and remained throughout the service those whb watchod his face from time to time during the next half- iiour were not repaid for their trouble if mr la monte felt any unusual emotion st was known only to himself and his god a few months
