looking man who with eves twinkling with arhnaement waa watching bis new congre gatfon seeing that somethingwas expect ed of him be oarao forward and held out bis hand men of south city he began in a clear mubical voioe i bavo been sent op here to act if you will bavo mo as your new parson something tella me we are going to be good friends and it wont bo my fault if wo aren 1 theres lots for mo to learn from you and perhaps i can do a little for you too his face was bo boy 1 bo his hair so curly and saoh an air of siucerity and truth seemed to surround him that tbo miners although deeply disappointed felt their hearts go ont to him one sultry afternoon tho parson of south city wab bitting in bis room a pre to the deepest deprebaioi with all thoeagerness that youth and zeal could supply be bad done bis best to raise bid people and bo failed and he knew it ho saw his minerb first shamefullyand then opeulybtay away from hia little ohnrob and bia heart was sick within turn he waa wonderidg if it wore worth while staying ou when his door was suddenly opened and a woman dis beveled and wild eyed rnbhed in oh parson save my boy i oho gasped and bank on to a ohair breathless with her haste why mrs maco wfiat on enrth is tbe mattor is your son ill he asked eagerly no uir ho aiat ill but hes woree nor that the men are going to hang him 4 what for surely bo liaaut been tried what has bedone well bir wailed tbe woman hos got into bad company late and a man accused him of horse btealing aud aud looking fearfully around its true sir young and inexperienced aa he waa in the nays of a frontier camp the parson knew that borne stealing was one of tbe deadly eiqp and hie faoo grow pale as death i m afraid mrs mace that it tho men bavo deoidjd to hang your bon no word of mine would otay them inioter 10 say a mother i why its none the lees murder and you know it 1 ob sir eho pleaded theres yet time to oat oh up i tor god a bake whose word you speak tr and save my boy i will no ono help a poor mother she wept bitterly wbilo tho parson in imagination saw himself defying the mob and also in imagination eaw the ghastly tragedy that wonld ensue on hia interferenoe come mrs mace let ob go and hurry and perhaps we may doeoindkood sciz ing hia bat he ran from the room and followed tbe orowd of miners whom ho baw were making for some trees about half a mile out of town when ho finally caught ihegnmpreparaliona -were- made for the execution tbo rope was around tbe shivering youths neck six stalwart men bold tho ioobo end roady at a signal to laanoh tho rrimlnal into eter nity with bia boyish faoe flushed with excitement tbo pamon pressed to tho front and btood side by side with the man about to dio a silence fell ou tbe throup broken by texas joe who said now parson this aint no place for 3 on judge lynch has hod his bay and jim mace is going to be hangod and thats so and who aro yon to take it upon your self to judgo and to execute dont ecrowl at me and finger your gun for i m an un- armed man and you know it havo not yoa enough blood on yoar bands already without killing this boy who has broken your laws givo him one moro obanco and yon may bo glad our bo it of it one day the fury that occasionally comes over men of quite meek dispositions waa 00 the little man who stood defyiug the whole mob his look seemed to duant even the men who hold tho rope and it hung loose about mapes neck joe saw bia authority trembling in tho balance and with pistol raised said clear bim oat of the way boys or ill shoot him where lie stands no you won tr joe saidl tho parson undauntedly yoa know that would be murder aud they dont love you too muoh even here to stand that no ono spoke for a moment then the cornishman troleaven shoated 6n a life for a life if the parson wanta mace to live let him bo hanged instead the mob shrank from this cold blooded proposal and seizing the psjahqlogioal moment the parson slipped tbe halter from natures kaleidoscope bid 300 ever go rowing on a lake or stream in lato september or oarly october when tbe shore was lined with maples beeches and oaks in all their glory of autumn colors the maples are crimson bcarlet and gold tbo oaks are a deep maroon and the beeohes are a bright warm beautiful brown tbo silvery white featheryfrutt qf the clematis covers an odbroken stump and the mountain aah is loaded with its oluatord of red berries hero and there are evergreens soft vet voty cedars dark sombre hemlocks and spruces straightand slender and pointed as ohnrob oteepoa every bush and tree has its reflection in the water and tbe forest beneath you bo a ma almost as perfeot as that abovo then a breeze comei alpng and rufilea tho surface and tiie picture breaks and vanishes but in its place is a shifting mosaic of color always changing but nover disappearing the white of the oloimip the eoarlet of tho morple leaves and the aah borrieb tbo brown of tbe bseohes tho darker colors of tho evergreens and the bluo of tho sky are all there but mingling moving and melting away again wo rapidly that we oannot follow them tbe white sunshine strikes a oluater of berries and something in them stains it red and sendd the ecirlet rays flying in every direction upward downward and to right aud left so that wherever yon may be you eee tho colorod light and the berries appear rod some of tho downward rays strike the water and ovory ripple catohes one of them and bends them living in a new direction one little wave throws its beam of light straight into our oyes and you seem to catch a glim so of something red fur down beneath the water it is go no again in an instant for tho ripple has moved and tbe red ray bhoots past you and goes wandering off into apace losing itself in the great glow of light that goes radiat log off from par earth as tbo moonlight does from tbo moon perhaps at last it enters the eye of a dweller on some far distant planet who never dreams of the mountain ash berries and the gleaming water that it has visited before it reached him perhaps too tbe tiny twiukle of light that comes to ub from venus and marb and jupiter has glowed in the hearts of robos or strange other world flowers sparkled on danoiog waters or glittered and gleamed on hoar frost and ice and snow who can tell the strange sights that tho bnnbeama ano ab thoy ily from one end of the universe to the other and back again but to come back to our ripple the light is falling on it from every tree and bash iu sight and from tho sky and tbe clouds overhead and now instead of the red light from the ash berries it sends you a glimmer of white from the clematis gold from the maples or bine from heaven itself every wavelet gives you something and tho surfaoe of tbo water botween your boat and tho bhore is a shifting changing i vslor that gleams for an instant on tile ltresta of tho rlppieb and then makes way or something ohm you hardly have time tp recognize the different tints so qaiokly do tbey como and go but for tbo brief moment that it remains each has its part in this kaleidoscope of water and light it is so with tho little acts and scenes of oar daily lives tbey last bo short a time and then we forget them jet each does its sbaro in making up the mosaic ot life brief bb it is it is apt to mako some impress on our futnre it it is only to strengthen or weaken some habit already formed and just aa tbo beam of light may leavo this earth to visit other worlds bo our aotions may reaoh out to other lives long after we have forgotten them w d hulbort t youvo got to put yourself out at times
