* In this new. serial of ours we [
have the story of a small-town ’
minister’s family and its strug
gles with poverty, with hard- §|
headed—and fat-headed—church l
officers, with temptations of flesh
and spirit. We have, too, a
_picture of its joys, its inspira

love affairs.” Miss Hueston, the

“devoted her life to rearing a
whole houseful of young Meth

CHAPTER |I.
e
. Introducing Her.
None but the residents consider
Mount, Mark, lowa, much of a town,
and the very most patriotic of them
all has no word of praise for the ugly
little red C. B. & Q. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud of
the littie station. At the same time it
certainly-does owe the railroad and the
state a debt of gratitude for its pres
ence there, It is the favorite social
rendezvous for the community! The
arrival of a passenger train in Mount
Mark is an event—something in the
nature of a C. B. & Q. “at home,” and
is always attended by a large and en
thusiastic gathering of ‘“our best
people.” All that is lacking are the
Pproverbial “light refreshments!”
' So it happened that one sultry morn
ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual flutter of excitement and
confusion on the platform and in the
waiting room of the 'station. The ha
bitues were there in force. Conspicu
ous among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with tack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them. :
. The Daily News reporter, in a well
creased, light gray suit and tan shoes,
and with eyeglasses scientifically bal
anced on his aquiline nose, was making
pointed inquiries into the private plans
of the travelers. The young woman
going to Burlington to spend the week
end was surrounded with about fifteen
other young women who had come to
“see her off.” Mount Mark is a very
respectable town, be it understood, and
girls do not go to the station without
an excuse!
- A man in a black-business suit stood
alone on the platform, his hands in
his pockets, his eyes wandering from
one to another of the strange faces
about him. His plain white ready-made
tie proclaimed his calling.
“It’s the new Methodist minister,”
volunteered the baggage master, cross
ing the platform. “I know him. He’s
not a bad sort.”
“They say he's got five kids, and
most of ’em girls,” responded the Ad
ams express man. “I want to be on
hand when they get here, to pick out a
girl.”
“Yah!” mocked the telegraph opera
tor, bobbing his head through the win
dow, “you need to. They tell me every
girl in Mount Mark has turned you
down p’rendy.”
But the Methodist minister, gazing
away down the track, where a thin

: “Run, Father, Run!”
'curl of smoke announced the coming
of No. 9 and Prudence—heard nothing
~of this conversation. He was not a
andsome man. His hair was gray at
ith‘e temples, his face was-earnest, only
‘saved from severity by the little clus
[ters of llnes at his eyes and mouth
;whlch proclaimed that he laughed
often and with relish,
“Train going east!". ;
, The minister stood back from the
crowd, but when the train came pound
ing in a brightness leaped into his
eyes. A slender girl stood in the vesti
bule, waving wildly at him a small
gloved hand. ‘When the train stopped
she leaped lightly from the steps.
“Father!” she cried excitedly, and,
small and slight as she was, she el
bowed her way swiftly through the
gaping crowd. “Oh, father!” And she
flung her arms about him joyously, un
conscious of admiring eyes. Her father
kissed her warmly. “Where is your
baggage?” he asked, a hand held out
to relieve her,
“Here!” And with a radiant smile
she thrust upon him a box of candy
and a gaudy-covered magazine.
“Your suitcase,” he explained pa
tiently.
“Oh!” she gasped. “Run, father
run! I left it on the train!”
Father did run, but Prudence, fleeter
footed, outdistanced him and clam
bered on board, panting.
When she rejoined her father her
face was flushed. “Oh, father,” she
said quite snappily, “isn’t that just like
me?”
“Yes, very like,” he agreed, and he
smiled.
“And so this is Mount Mark! Isn’t
it a funny name, father? Why do they
call it Mount Mark?® - ?
“I don't know. I hadma’t thought to
inquire. We turn here, Prudence. This
is Main street. The city part of the
town—the business part—is to the
south.”
“It’s a pretty street, isn’t it?” she
cried. “Such nice big maples, and such
shady, porchy houses. I love houses
with porches, don’t you? Has the par
sonage a porch?”
“Yes, a big one on the south, and a
tiny one in front. We have the house
fixed up pretty well, Prudence, but of
course you'll have to go over it your
self and arrange it as you like. I must
go to a trustees’ meeting at two
o'clock, but we can get a good deal
done before then. Mrs. Adams {$S com
ing to help you this afternoon. She
is one of our Ladies, and very kind.
There, that is the parsonage!” |
Prudence gazed in silence. Many
,would not have considered it a beauti
ful dwelling, but to Prudence it was
heavenly. Fortunately the wide, grassy,
shaded lawn greeted one first. Great,
spreading maples bordered the street,
and clustering rosebushes lined the
‘walk leading up to the house. The par
‘sonage, to Prudence’s gratified eyes,
‘looked homey, and big, and inviting.
There were many windows, and the
well-known lace curtains looked down
upon Prudence tri:ping happily up the
little board walk—or so it seemed to
her.,
“Two whole stories, and an attic be
sides! Not to mention the bathroom!
Oh, father, the night after you wrote
there was a bathroom, Constance
thanked God for it when she said her
prayers. And a furnace, too! And
electriec lights! Oh, we have waited
a long time for it, and we’ve been very
patient indeed, but, between you and
me, father, I am most mightily glad
we've hit the luxury land at last. I'm
sure we'll all feel much more religious
in a parsonage that has a bathroom
and electric lights! Oh, father!”
He had thrown open the door, and
Prudence stood upon the threshold of
her new home. Together she and her
father went from room to room, up
stairs and down, moving a table to the
left, a bed to the right—according to
her own good pleasure. Afterward
they had a cozy luncheon for two in
the “dining room.”
“Oh, it is so elegant to have a din
ing room,” breathed Prudence happily.
“I always pretended it was rather fun,
and a great saving of work, to eat and
cook and study and live in one room,
but inwardly the idea always outraged
me. Is that the school over there?”
“Yes, “that’s where Connie will go.
There is only one high school in Mount
Mark, so the twins will have to go to
the other side of town—a long walk,
but in good weather they can come
home for dinner.”
“Oh, that’s a lovely place over there,
father!” exclaimed Prudence, looking
from the living room windows toward
the south, “Isn’t it beautiful?”
“Yes, The Avery family lives there.
The parents are very old and feeble,
and the daughters are all—elderly—
and all schoolteachers. There are four
of them, and the youngest is forty-six.
Dear me, it is two o'cloc’k already, and
I must go at once. Mrs. Adams will
be here in a few minutes, and you will
not be lonely.” &
But when Mrs. Adams arrived at the
parsonage she knocked repeatedly, and
in vain. Finally she gathered her robes
about her and went into the back yard.
She peered into the woodshed, and saw
no one. She went into the barn lot,
and found it empty. In despair, she
plunged into- the barn—and stopped
abruptly.
In a shadowy corner was a slender
figure kpeeling beside afi overturned
nallkeg, her face buried in her hands.
Evidently this was Prudence engaged
in prayer—and in the barn, of all places
in the world!
“A—a—a—hem!" stammered Mrs.
Adams inquiringly,
" “Amen!" This was spoken aloud
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA.
and hurriedly, and Prudence leaped
to her feet. Her fair halir clung about
her face in damp, babyish tendrils, and
her face was flushed and dusty, but
alight with friendly interest. She ran
forward eagerly, thrusting forth a slim
and grimy hand.
“You are Mrs. Adams, aren’t you? I
am Prudence Starr. It is so kind-of
you to come the very first day,” she
cried. “It makes me love you right at
the start.” |
“Ye—yes, I am Mrs. Adams.” Mrs.
Adams was embarrassed. She could
not banish from her mental vision that
kneeling figure by the nailkeg. Inter
rogation was written all over her
ample face, and Prudence promptly
read it and hastened to reply.
“I do not generally say my prayers
in the barn, Mrs. Adams, I assure you.

In the Barn of All Places. !
But—well, when I found this grand,
old, rambling barn, I was so thankful
I couldn’t resist praying about it.”
~ “But a barn!” ejaculated the per
plexed “member.” “Do you call that
‘a blessing?”
~ “Yes, indeed I do,” declared Pru
‘dence. Then she explained patiently:
“Oh, it is on the children’s account,
you know. They have always longed
for a big, romantic barn to play in.
That’s why I couldn’t resist saying my
prayers—l was so happy I couldn’t
hold in.”
As they walked slowly toward the
house, Mrs. Adams looked at this par
sonage girl in frank curiosity and some
dismay, which she strongly endeavored
to conceal from the bright-eyed Pru
dénce, The Ladies had said it would
be so nice to have a grown girl in the
parsonage! Prudence was nineteen
from all account, but she looked like a
child, and—well, it was not exactly
grown-up to give thanks for a barn,
to say the very least! Yet this girl
had full charge of four younger chil
dren, and was further burdened with
the entire care of a minister-father!
Well, well! Mrs, Adams sighed a
little.
“You are tired,” said Prudence sym
pathetically. “It's so hot walking,
isn't it? Let's sit on the porch until
you are nicely rested.”
“This is a fine chance for us to get
acquainted,” said the good woman with
eagerness.
Now, if the truth must be told, there
had been some ill-feeling in the Ladies’
Aid society concerning the reception of
Prudence. After the session of con
ference, when Rev. Mr, Starr was as
signed to Mcunt Mark, the Ladies of
the church had felt great interest in
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several in
teresting items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be
fore, after a long illness, and Prudence,
the eldest daughter, had taken charge
of the household. There were five chil
dren. So much was known, and being
women, they looked forward with
eager curiosity to the coming of Pru
dence, the young mistress of the par
sonage.
Mr. Starr had arrived at Mount Mark
a week ahead of his family. Prudence
and the other children had spent the
week' visiting at the home of their
aunt, and Prudence had come on a day
in advance of the others to “wind ev
erything up,” as she had expressed it.
Do you think that impulsive,
lovable Prudence will make a
hit with the saintly (but gos
sipy) members of the Ladies’
Aid society?

PRIZE STOCK 5
ON EX
HIBITION AT STATE FAIR
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
There are some sections of the coun
try that have become noted for the
quality of the live stock they pro
duce. In most instances this is found
to be the result of concentrated ef
fort. The state of Wisconsin offers a
splendid illustration of what can be
accomplished through community
breeding associations. Here are to be
found 136 organizations devoted te the
breeding of high-class live stock. Os
this number, 108 are promoting cattle
of the different dairy breeds; 2, beef
cattle; 10, horses; 2, swine; and 14,
general live stock. These associations
have met with marked success and
prove conclusively that community
live-stock breeding is not an experi
ment when thoroughly organized and
properly conducted. Livingston coun
ty, Michigan, and a considerable sec
tion of New York, particularly the re
gion adjacent to Syracuse, are famous
for their dairy cattle. In lowa promi
nence has been gained in swine rais
ing. The blue-grass region of Ken
tucky, noted as the center of American
saddle-horse breeding, affords a fur
ther example of the success resulting |
from unity of effort and purpose. :
There are still other sections where !
attention is being given to the pro
duction of the different classes of live
stock. Each is noted as a breeding |
center, and buyers who pay the high
est prices are attracted from other
states and even foreign countries. |
Leader Is Necessary.
The organization of a community or
co-operative live stock breeders’ asso
ciation requires the services of a lead
er, as do all movements that have for
their object the improvement of un
satisfactory conditions, The leader
in an enterprise of this kind should
be one of the successful breeders ofs
the community—aggressive as well as
progressive, - With such a man at the
head of the movement, little trouble |
should be experienced in ‘interesting
others and securing their co-operation.
A preliminary organization should be
effected, a committee appointed to!
draft a constitution and by-laws, and a
definite breed selected which the asso
ciation is to proinote. 1
The selection of a breed is of great
importance. If the best results are
to be gained, individual taste should
be disregarded and a breed selected
which has proved profitable in the
community. The action taken in this
respect should be unanimous, and
every effort should then be made in
improving the type of stock to which
the organization is committed. When

Young Purebred Hereford.
the breed has been decided upon, the
first step is to procure a number of
sure purebred sires of that breed
to be mated with the females owned
by the members. If there are a few
good privately owned sires already in
the community they can be put out for
service and the expense divided on a
pro rata basis.
If additional sires are found neces
sary, it should be possible for the as
sociation to secure them at a consider
able saving in price through the selec
tion of a committee of competent men
authorized to make the purchases. It
will in some cases be advisable to
have a qualified veterinarian as one
member of the committee.
Placing Sires.
At the opening of the breeding sea
son the sire should be placed at the
most convenient points and put in
the hands of capable and efficient men
who understand the breeding question
and who will take proper care of the
animals In their charge. After each
second season it may prove advisable
to change or shift the sires. This
will allow each breeder to procure the
service of a new sire and at the same
time make it possible to determine
which are the best producers so that
those not making good can be dis
posed of,
A sufficient number of the best fe
males from the successful sires should
be retained, and in some cases male
oftspring may be put into service in
the neighborhood. This will obviate
the necessity for any further exten
sive purchases and give a constant sup
ply of good blood and uniform quality.
In addition, it will provide an adequate
number of animals to take the place of
those that die, are injured, or sold. The
serviceable sires crossed with the fe
males retained will be of incalculable
value in the continued production of
animals of outstanding merit.
" Lack of Uniformity.
One of the reasons for the lack of
uniformity in the quality of our live
stock is the fact that many of our in
dividual farmers .and breeders have
not adhered to one type or breed of
sire. The results provide a striking
example of the need of organization.
With the organized community many
advantages are to be gained. First of
all, greater interest will be taken in
the proper methods of breeding, feed
ing, ete,, with the result that a definite
community type will be established
and the members will work together.in
maintaining that ideal. United action
is brought about in the prevention and
eradication of disease, combined ac
tion along this line being far more ef
fective and economical than individual
effort, The good effect of combined
action on the part of the breeders of
a community in preventing the spread
of such a disease as hog cholers for
instance, can readily be appreciated.
Much can be accomplished M a sim
ilar manner in stamping out conta
gious diseqses among other classes of
live stock, and by the adoption of prop
er sanitary methods further cutbreaks
in the community can be avoided. A
reputation for sound, healthy stock
is a most desirable and vaiuable asset,
Operation Is Simple and Consists
of Placing Animal on Side
and Removing Wool. .
(By R. H. WILLIAMS, Professer of Ani
mal Husbandry, University of Arizona.)
All good shepherds in Europe tag
their ewes. The operation is simple
and consists of placing the sheep on
its side and by means of a hand shears
cutting away the soiled wool and ma
nure which may have accumulated
around the rear end. Anyone can per
form this work and it is an especially
good method of keeping the sheep
clean and sanitary, and also one will
have less trouble at lambing time for
the lambs will more easily find their
way to the nipple if the tag ends have
been clipped from around the udder.
Very often young lambs will get a lock
of wool in their mouths instead of the
teat, and they often suck in dangerous
amounts of wool which accumulate in
the stomach, and often cause death.
It is probable that quite a large per
centage of the mortality in very young
lambs comés from this source.
It will pay best to tag the ewes, but
many shepherds also tag the wethers,
rams and lambs, One will find that
the work of shearing is so much clean
er, and can be performed more rapidly
so that there is not much additional
work. When it comes to selling the
wool, one will easily secure more mon
ey for a clip that has been taken from
a well-tagged sheep, and in the future,
when wool is bought on its merits,
this is bound to be an economic ad
vantage,
