He Was Converted.

Two Jersey City girls, innocently and happily walking home from school when a* 1 bad boy began to call them names. He had no provocation, only he was naturally pugnacious, and wanted, to pick a row with some one. /. The two girls offered a splendid opportunity, for they were such unassuming, good appearing maidens. So he hurled various vile epithets at them. There was a hurried consultation, and . j the two girls smiled at the bad boy. He stopped calling names and stared at them. • “Come over here!” they called sweetly. They were such nice girls that there was no reason why he should not obey; besides, he was curious. He came over. With a rush they pounced on him, Threw him down and sat on him, and commanded him to say the Lord’s Prayer. Sputtering with' rage, the bad boy repeated the supplication, and then he w'as allo.wed. to go. The girls talked excitedly. “Well,” one of them said, “I guess he won’t talk that way. any more; we’ve converted him, and that's what that man said last Sunday we ought to do.” -
