i n of i u
Enid Ford uot ov.iy possessed a for
tune, but, her father iiud mother being
dead, tliere was no nne to direct her
movements In auy lespect. Walker
Brooks was an ellfcIUIe purtv. being
also wealthy, and, although be was not
Intellectual and hnd no object In life,
Knld had concluded that their two
estates united would Involve tunny ad
vantages. She gave liluj some encour
agement. He proposed and was ac
cepted.
In memory of her parents Enid
built a little church In the town where
?he lived. When It was finished she
cast about for some one to take charge
of It as pastor. Laurence Keith, a re
cent graduate of a theological semi
nary, was recommended and tlnally
chosen for the position.
Keith was one of those young men
who from the first indicate that they
are destiued to make their mark In the
world. He had. fiNt of all, thut requi
site for a pastor, the gift of extempore
utterance. When he had anything to
say to his congregation he did uot httlt
nor hesitate for words nor become In
extricably Involved In the construction
of sentences.
Being at the bead of a church built
and endowed by Knld Ford, there were
many things constantly arising for
them to talk over. They Invnrlably
confined themselves to church and
charitable Interests seldom If ever
dropping Into that small talk so natural
to young people. Indeed, Mr. Keith
troated Miss Ford as the owner of the
church of which he was pastor, and
Miss Ford treated Mr. Keith ns the
pastor of the church of which she was
owner.
When Mr. Keith had administered
the affairs of the church and Its con
gregation n year Miss Ford said to
him:
"I am very well pleased, Mr. Keith,
with my selection of a pastor for un
church. There Is, however, one recom
mendation you do not possess. A cler
gyman should have a wife. On your
salary, I admit, marriage would be un
wise, but 1 can relieve this deficiency.
Your salary for the next year will be
double whut It has been."
Mr. Keith thought a few moments,
then declined the raise with the condi
tion, whereu|K>n Miss Ford assured
blm that there was no condition at
tached, and he was satisfied. A few
more matters of business were talked
ovor between them, when Miss Ford
said:
" "I have a request to make of you?
an invitation to extend to you? and 1
don't wish you to be influenced in your
acceptance by our relative positions.
Perhaps I am making too much of the
matter, but everytblug connected with
.1 girl's main event iu life, marriage,
is the cause of deep feeling to her."
"1 can understand that, aud It
should be so. What 1 a this lnvlta
ttonr ~ r
"Will you tiiarry me?"
Mr. Keith looked at the girl In aston
ishment. then, Instead of making a
reply, turned and walked back and
forth for several minutes iu deep
thought. Meanwhile Miss Ford looked
at hlui, equally surprised.
"I do "not think." ho sold at last,
"that such a course would be well for
either of us. In a career such as mluo
wealth possessed by my wife would
be a detriment to me, tqr my view of
wealth is that it belongs to the poor.
1 have observed that, however liberal
rich people are, their wealth Is their
paramount Interest With this predis
position to hold und increase what you
have, I would advise you to marry a
rich man."
It is needless to say that Miss Ford
listened to this with Interest Mr.
Keith had mistaken her entirely. What
she intended to ask of him was that he
would perform the marriage ceremony
soon to take place between her and
Walker Brooks. He had supposed that
she, being rich, had considered It her
part to propose marriage. When he
had finished speaking. Instead of in
forming him of his blunder she said:
"What you say Is worthy of thought
ful consideration."
A week later Mr. Brooks received a
note from his fiancee stating that she
had como to the conclusion that she
was not the woman she would marry ;
that she had resolved to spend her in
come In doing good only and not in
pleasure Sfceklrfg. Mr. Brooks was
somowhat disappointed at losing so
considerable an addition to his for
tune, calculating to spend the united
Income in fashionable living. But he
weighed the matter and decided that
he would rather give up Miss Ford's
fortune than see it expended in build
ing Institutions. He released her.
From this time Miss Ford began to
rely on her pastor In certain expendi
tures which she designed on account of
his experience In the line she proposed
to spend the money and because of his
administrative ability, which was of
the first order. It was not long be
fore their Interests became Identical.
Miss Ford furnished the means for j
good, and Mr. Keith saw that the
money went itfto many a household
where it was not only a godsend, but
was expended to a practical purpose.
One evening aftor they had been talk
ing of these matters Miss Ford said:
"Mr. Keith, I once gave you an Invi
tation which you declined. Were the
situation now what you Inferred it
to be, your reasons for declining would
have been excellent. But since then
I have made my calling your calling.
I see no reason why a fortune held in
trust, as I hold mine, for the poor
should not continue to go through you
to the greatest good. Again I ask.
will you marry me?"
Tht second Invitation was accepted.

BEATING THE LAW.
Uunday Traveler* and lnn? and Tav
ern* In 8cotland.
There Is a law In Scotland generous
to travelers. That law grants them
the privilege of all taverns and Inns
during prohibition hours. Thus If you
arrive In Edinburgh ou a Sunday, hav
Ing traveled, say, from Glasgow, your
Innkeeper Is bound to servo you with
auy sort of alcoholic refreshment, al
beit the native of Auld Iteekle must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the auroral
premise of tomorrow. But the law Is
merciful. He that hath journeyed
three miles Is a traveler within the
meaning of the act
Consequently there Is a vast array of
travelers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches, pouy carriages, etc., for
the trains ruu not.
Thoy all seek to constitute them
selves as travelers. Just within the
threw mile limit, as far as Edinburgh Is
concerned, lies the historic village of
Coretorphlne.
A traveler arrives from Edinburgh.
He kuocks at the door of tho village
Inn. He Is wearied by hts long walk.
He Is In sore straits,
Tho door Is opened timidly, cautious
ly, and a voice Is heard, "Who Is It?"
"A traveler," Is the weary answer.
"Whaur do ye come from?'
"I come from Edinburgh," Is the an
swer.
"Then ye canna come in. It's against
the law."
The door is banged ruthlessly.
The traveler thinks awhile. .Tour
Scotsman thinks slowly, but very
surely.
After deliberation be knocks again.
The formula Is gone through.
"Whaur do yo come"?
"Frae Lclth." answers the traveler
quickly.
"Then ye may come lu. Why did ye
nae tell the truth at first?"
