Maybe the heat has been too much for him, and he'll be all right in the evening when it gets cool. And so they departed for their calls. But the antics of Thomas were soon to bear their fruit. Emory was not the only one who had observed them. Miss jane Dagget, spinster, of uncertain age and caustic tongue, spreader of gossip and scandal for the village, had also taken note of the dog's frequent visits to the saloon, and, like Emory, had put two

box 'in front of the grocery store, and addressed nobody in particular : I wundered why so many promisin' young men must be ruined by drink. Now, thare's'young Ath. Adams. He must go- to the saloon at least wunct every day, an' some days oftenerf' K 4 How d' you know? inquired a listener. I see his dorg there every little while, an' you all know that ar' dorg follers him every whare. V Pshaw! I don't think that Adams hez tuk to drink, replied the other. He ain't that kind. Whether he is 'er not's another question, responded Emory. But thar is the dorgf' ' And, indeed, there he was. Thomas had taken more than was good, even for him. He was lurching and wabbling, trying to walk on both sides of the sidewalk at once, and having a very hard time of it to make any headway at all. Gosh, cried one of I the men at the store. U What in nation's got into the dorg? 'If 'twas a man, I'd say he was drunk. And they all stopped talking, inorder to laugh at the dog's antics. ' But, as luck would have it, Mr. and Mrs. Atherton Adams, Ir., had chosen, this, of all days, to go calling. They had just sallied out of the front gate, and Mrs. Atherton was putting up her parasol, when her attention was suddenly attracted by the sight of a dog lurching towards them. Had it been a man, she would certainly have pronounced him drunk. She gazed for a long minute, and then the parasol dropped from her hands. Atherton ! she almost shrieked. Is that Thomas? I'm almost sure it is ! I can't say for sure, responded Atherton, Ir., but it cer- tainly looks very much like him.',' But the question of identity was soon settled, and by the dog himself. For Thomas, chancing to look up, beheld two people watching him. Even with his befuddled wits he recognized his master and mistress, and was ashamed. With a melancholy howl, he dived into the shrubbery at the edge of the walk, and made an erratic, course off over the lawn. ' Let him go, said Mr. Atherton Qalthough Mrs. A. was not

and two together. As a result of that operation in mathematics, the pastor in Mr. Atherton, Jrfs, church, Rev. Theophilus Wel- den, had a visit from Miss Dagget that very afternoon. Miss Dagget found the Rev. Theophilus in his study, deep in the preparation of his next Sunday's sermon. He looked up with no very friendly eye as Miss Dagget entered. ffl' V , y I X .9 ll , ,.. if I Jr A Z I ,L is L!

To think that a church mem- ber, and a teacher in the Sunday school, should be guilty of such a sin as that to which I am almost sure one of your flock has succumbed! He goes to the saloon, I am almost positive, at least twice a day! Mr. Welden regarded her over his glasses. He was a white- haired, benevolent old many but, despite his age, he was the last
