A young woman, barefooted, and with a coarse canvas frock about her, and her long hair hanging loose like a periwig, and sprinkled with ashes, came walking up the south aisle. Just as she got near Uncle Rawson's seat she stopped, and turning round towards the four corners of the house, cried out: "Woe to the persecutors! Woe to them who for a pretence make long prayers!

It's a deliberate attack on graft."
That's the one thing about it that I don't like to think of you all alone here with no place to stay evenings." "Mr. Scott says I can have a room where he lives at Mrs. Rawson's," answered Theodore. "It's a fine room bigger'n this, an' it's got checked straw carpet an' three windows." "Oh, Theo, how glad I am!" cried the girl, delightedly. "That's just splendid.
