it wont kill us if does lnterrupi ua- weve been interrupted before now it was a good congregation that the preacher looked down upon that night a company of honest selfrespect ing welldressed working people o large portion of them yo folks but there in the forefront of teebiff audience sat the objectionable brotherinlaw bolt upright he sat with a flushed face and glared at tho minister he certainly is about the tdughest ugliest- looking customer i ever undertook to preach to said the young man to himself he rushed up tho stairs to the ofllce of martin goodhand who hhd been president of tho board for a time so long- that the memory of tho man runneth not to tho con trary martrin jacob began shrilling aa- he burst into tho room and mopped his brow with a huge bluo hafidker- cchicf weve been neglectln our duty not knowlnly martin not de llboratcly but neglectin all the same what dyou a pose martin la exist in in this town rleht under our- noses without our sceln it that has got

if it walked right up and stepped on your foot jacob brlatlcd i guess i read the papers and the magazines and sich and if a feller dont git to know monopolies from ground floor to flagpole like he was

beih you posted you hope oveiy ono of ybu is thlnkln vl with that mr beaplo stamped out of the room chuckling and leaving behind him a thunderstruck ttwn council each member of which looked into his neighbors face with dismay written on his feillui es slmultan oously all turned to jacob wmtfcler mo wil who seemed likely to burst with sup pressed emotion we got to fight jacob rasped we will not bo trod on well tun a competing line and we wont charge but half of barneys old prices then well see where he ii be with hla mon opoly mean urn o barnabas beagle hurried to tho printing ofllco nnd had printed two huge plucnrds with black letters on red apcr rcudlns mights well out with it whos mon opolizing in sand hill its our one and only public con cern its our bus line thats what it is its barney beagle look this thing in the eye juarjin and tell me if theres any competition does any one else own a bus 7 what other fel- the first part of the service went hex carries passengers and trunks to very welt how these germans do i the depot nobody i barney beagle sing what full sweet voices how i holds us in the boiler of his hand they keep the key and the tune how lifes grasped off this here necessity they put their hearts into itl the minister thought the drunkard made a little noise muttering something in a maudlin way during the prayer but did not disturb the folk greatly i bellove he is not going to bother us much after all thought the min ister but when it came to the preaching tho minister had no sooner begun than the man rose to his feet and com- l menced speajklng what ho said or tried to say no one knew himself least of alt it was some mumbled inco herent talk but the young people after their fashion straightway began to giggle mild tho l good friends minister earnestly dont laugh this is a sight fit to make us weep a great hush fell upon tho congre gation the drunkard ceased to speak and remained standing tho picture of a fool uook at him said the minister you know him well enough most of you thero stands the ruin of one of the ablest mechanics that was ever known in- these parts there stands thft phfltr ti e n gftrtd ttwtiim j t there stands the faithless husband who has broken the hea of a puro and lovely woman there stands a father who disgraced children are blushing with shame for him he might havo been a happy and pros perous man see what drink has mode of hlml give it but half a chance k arid it will do as much jfor you tel me could i or could the most elo auent preacher 9 the land ever pronch you j rnirptnn vrin as that isnt that sign enough to mako you all temperance- men for life and then looking earnestly and steadfastly in the drunkards face tho minister charged him jn the name of the living god to repent of his great wickedness and pleaded with him that he ishould forsake his cups and all hla evil ways and on condition of sincere penitence promised him in the name of a divine saviour the help of tho almighty and there the man stood all the while motionless as a statue amid the stillest kind of stillness tho silence of a great listening company and when the preacher had made an end of speaking the drunkard stag gered out into the night now there was in the audience that evening another man who for many years had been the victim of the drink habit one whom the minister had very shortly before found drunk on the street and helped home to bis house this man going out with the crowd after the service had no sooner readi er the sidewalk than ha turned back saying to a companion ira going to see jho parson it was a sorrylooking figure that came to the study door decently dressedjbut shaky and infirm with hair prematurely white and a sallow face marred and scarred by his vices good evening mr black come

tell yer martin goodhand if he took a notion he could raise the fare from the depot to the hotel to a quarter instead ox ten cents thats what ho couh do he could charge folks fifty cents for takin cm

with perspiration streaming from his brow begged the council to remain steadfast foi yet another week in that time barney naust surrender he urged with almost frantic insist ence but barnabas did not surrender and after the fourth week the village coun cillors had had enough seventyfive dollars wasted in four weeks it was not to be heard of longer besides the town lawyer had told them that it
