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!

Emory was not the only one who had observed them.

But this, he felt, must be something of importance, and so he demanded, Well, who is it? , V Young Mr. Adamsf, she replied. I see his dog there every day, usually about ten in the morning and three in the after- noon, and you know that he and his dog are almost inseparable. I will see him this evening, and learn the truth, said Mr. Welden. But don't say anything about it to any one in the meantime.

I should hate to have to believe that young Mr. Adams was a confirmed drunkardf' And with this parting speech she retired.

Certainly, comelinto my study, said Atherton, secretly wondering what could have brought this upon him. Atherton, said the old minister, when they were in the room, I've knowniiyou a good many years, and I've liked you as long as I've known you. I know that you are a thoroughly
