EPIBTQL‘MW LOVE.
A letter from my husband.
What does my husband say?
The wild winds tossed my letter
Far out upon the bay.
But i imagine fondly
Just how the screed began:
“Sweet wife, my queen and darling,”
The tender greeting ran.
And next some foolish message.
lI’he outlines of a kiss;
“Each hour"——my fond eyes scan it—-
“Your presence, love, I miss." .
0h, rapture! Some fleet boatman
Has caught the drifting screed.
‘f’l‘hsnks, thanks. so glad to get it.
Oh, yes. 'tia wet, indeed,
”But legible." Great Cesar!
What scribbled words are these?
"D‘ wife, ‘rn oil to Boston,
Excuse-big hurry-rplease,"
And signed, “Your husband, Harry.“
With pencil it was writ.
- Take back, rude waves, your flotsam.
For you alone 'tis lit.
0h, 1 could tear to fragments.
If it were only drier.
Hal We a plan for vengeance-
My fond reply l‘ll wire.

MISS NERVEY’S FALL.
The dazzling August sun beating down
upon the powdered white dust of the high»
way in the little hamlet of Briarvnle
seemed to cause the very air itself to vi-
brate in waves of glittering heat.
It was Sunday afternoon and the good
churchgolng people. who had milled their
flagging energies to attend the weekly
service conducted by the Rev. J tired Stark,
found the cool interior of the Baptist
.ohurch a most welcome change from the
heat and glare without. The bum walls,
guiltless of decoration. save here and there
a Scripture motto hung between the long,
narrow, square poncd windows, never be-
fore had looked half so inviting. and the
tightly closed green blinds seemed only to
add another element to that subtlo air of
peace and quietness which pervaded the
semitvvilight within the church.
What wonder that some of the very clcct.
after the hard six doys' work in the hay-
flolds, should succumb to the soothing in-
fluence of the time and place, and not-
withstanding tho vigomus pounding of
holy writ by the Rev. Jared should be
seen to nod gently at the hood; of their
respective pcvvs!
Not so, however, Ncrvey Willimns. Ono
hunter at lcust was nil-rt and to all out-
ward zippcurnncc attentive in every nerve
and fiber. Miss Ncrvoy, though but a
maiden indyiuni no longer young. was yet
one of the main spokes in the Brinrvnlc
Baptist wheel. Stiff uml straight-silo sat

Considering all things. then, and chiefly
the frailty of human nature, was it to be
wondered at that this sultry Sundayafirr

words that fell from the speaker’s lips.
Great heads of perspiration stood out upon

felt an inward twinge of remorse and de-
termined in future to hold her mind rigor-
'.l‘o arouse the drowsy senses of his hear
on the speaker abruptly changed his flow-
ing rhetoric, and from “vast cycles and
cons" descended to more oolquuinl lan-
guage. Taking a pure white day lily from
the bowl on his desk, heleaned forward
and repeated, “Behold the lilies of the
field." Not without a certain rude 810'
quence, springing from an untutored love
of nature, the clergyman went on to speak
of the tender leaf during to break through
the cold dark earth and the crowning
glory when the beautiful white lily at»
the coarser flowers of the field." This Was
too much for Miss Norway's botanical
knowledge. That a day lily that grow in
“Mls’ White's front yard" should for a
momentbo confounded with the flaring
red lily that grow, “its every one ought to
know,” all over Brlsrvalo meadows, was
just is little too bad. Had the devil at last
found out even Miss Nervcy's vulnerable
point?
illustration after illustration followed
in quick succession, drawn from every
olimo and country in delightful disregard
either of climatic or botanical knowl-
edge. Hotter and hotter waxed Miss Ner-
vey's wrath until at last, in sheer deeper»
ntion, shc dotennincd to listen no longer
and fixed her eyes on the deacon. Mean»
while a mischievous fly, taking mlvunv
tago of tho doacon's condition, with the
pcrtlnncily known only to August flies,
returned again and again to the bridge of
the doucon‘s nose, quietly viewing the
congregation from the vantage point un—
til routcd by the waving hand of the senil-
nroused slccpcr.
With a quick movement the clergyman
bent forward across the slight desk that
separated him from the people, and in a
penetrating whisper that roused the nod-
ding slecpcrs far more effectually than all
his previous orntorical flights said,
“Brothers, sisters, which one of us, think
you, when that last great day shall dawn
and the scnrchlight of God‘s holy battery
shall be turned on each heart hero present
mwhich one of us. think you, will show the
pure white heart of the lily of the field!
Brother, will it be youf Sister, will it be
you?"
As the last breath of thc whisper dicd
away a tremolous hush fellon the waiting
people. Suddenly a shrill laugh, that
seemed to vibrate through the tonsely
strung ntmosphcm in hollow mockery,
rudely broku the silence. Scumcly had it

ones from the bright sinsluno and the
cooler air, the fresh 1:an of the flowers
and grass after the night, shower, seemed
to creep into‘ her heartiand inspire her
with a trembling hope that things might
not be quite so bad, after all. But when
in the afternoon the deacon drove by, and
instead of bringing the mall to the door
and exchanging a bit of gossip about the
weather and the crops he only stopped
long enough to deposit iii in the long dis-
used box fastenednn the big elm in front
of the gate, then Miss lilervey’s heart he-
gan to sink. The old ho: had been so
long unused that it was with some did]-
oulty that tho deacon pinned the daily pa-
pers within it. Was it alto ther the fault
of the rust eaten hingest at it took so
long to open the covenant were the desoon’s
fingers just a trifle nervous as he felt
rather than saw Miss lilorvey's eyes peer-
ing anxiously out at him from behind the

As Miss Nervey was ”setting" her milk
in the cool, clean dairy in the twilight
glow a faint faraway sound of a church
boll carno to her through the clever laden
air. At first It caused afeeling of surprise,
quickly followed by a nameless dread of
something. She knew not what. A sud-
den dizziness seized her, and—unheard of
calmnityl—thc pan of new milk fell from
horlumds, emptying itself in n translucent
river over the dairy floor.
The morrow brought with it little lift~
ing of the heavy cloud that had descended
so swiftly on Miss Nervey'e unguarded
soul. For two days she had been shunned
as a thing occursod by friend and foe nliko.
it was with a wuss of mile! from her over-
wrought focllngs that she coinbatod the
few files that dared to venture within the
well screened kitchen, In her tenscly
strung frame of mind the poor insects
assumed an almost supernatural signifi-
cance. Were they indeed only disguised
sinissaries of the evil one, ready at n mo-
ment's notice to load unwary mortals to
destruction?
It was just on the stroke of 9 by the old
eight day clock when tho’ harsh pool of
the front door bell broke the intense still—
ness of the little house. Miss Norvey gave
a nervous start. Something was about to
happen. When before had any one rung
the front door bell? That was reserved for
state occasions, funerals, weddings and
occasional pastoral culls. As Miss Nervoy
afterward confessed, her “heart was clean
up in her throat and hurting that loud a
deaf post might have heard it." Cau-
tiously gazing from behind the " best cur-
tains,” she was slightly relieved to ace
Deacon Buckly instead of the pastor, but
only slightly, for something serious por-
tcndcd when Deacon Huckly. dressed in
his Sunday garb, rung the front. door boll.
Strange us it may scum, the sight of (he

head to a resting place on the shoulder of
the doaeon's Sunday cost.
Alas for the high at ity of the Brier-
vals Baptist ohurchl as this the method
pursued by the senior demon with the
backsliding feminine members of the par-
ish) I trow not. but if Miss Hervey had
proved an exceptional case who was there
to report the exception? Not the wise fe-
line who had followed her mistress into
the room and had sat quietly blinking
from one to the other during the deacon’s
monologue, but at this juncture dlscmetly
turned her back and gazed out of the win
dow.
Either the magic touch of the Sunday
coat or the feeling that she was not other
ly bereft had a most soothing effect on
Miss Nervey's condition, and she was soon
abletoralse her drooping head and un-
burden her heavy heart. The deacon lis-
tened to her explanations, still holding
one hand in his firm grasp as if the better
tooonvey his sympathy. A feeling that
somehow he had been the innocent cause
of all her trouble and that his own drowsy
delinquency had escaped rebuke made
him gailantly resolve that, come what
would, even at the risk of losing his dca.
conship, he would share Miss Nervey’s
disgrace. So, when Miss Nervey’s dewy
recital ended, flushing a rosy pink from
the top of his white stock to the roots of
his snowy hair, he said:
“Perhaps now, Miss Nervey, you
wouldn't mind so much leaving the choir
if you thought you was going to sit in the
deacon's pow?”
As to the nature of Miss Nervey's reply,
we will leave that to the imagination.
Suffice to say that at 7:80 that evening
Briart'ale was decomusly scandalizod by
seeing the deocon’s old white horse do-
murely trotting into town, the deacon
and Miss Nervey. both in their Sunday
best, seated together quietly chatting on
the jump seat of the Concord wagon. Nor
was the shock lessened when the wagon
drew up at the parsonage gate and the
deacon assisted Miss Nervcy to alight, es—
corting her within the sacred precincts of
the parsonage parlor.
It was not until the friendly darkness
hid them from the prying eyes of the
townspeople that they once more emerged
on the open street. That Miss Nervcy,
with the deacon‘s assistance, had made
ample amends to the Rev. Jared’s offend—
ed dignity was clearly evident in the hearty
shake of herhand as the pastor bade “Mrs.
Buckly” gmul night. As to the deacon
and Miss Survey, the tender glow on their
happy faces presnged an Indian summer
which, though it might luck the full lus-
ter of J one, would yct shed light and
warmth far into the drmr November days.
