outer door; no one was in sight, even in
the meadows, the men had all sought
shelter for their long noontide rest. She
looked helplessly toward the farm-houses
near by, wondering whom she might ask
to come out into the dreadful heat; The
sharp-faced woman was not liked by her
neighbors, and she knew it. Her eye
fell on the tiny dwelling across the farm,
where Imlah Jacobs was living. s..ga

Her story was briefly told. The dwarf
did not look in her face, that hard face
that in the past had borne only contempt
for him and that dead woman who had
been his all; he looked out into the

The doctor was at home, trying to take
a nap in his Office, and disposed to curse
the heat roundly. He was aroused sud

porch from which his office opened, and

his feet and ran to the door. He recog-
nized instantly the small, pitiable figure
prone at the threshold, and, kneeling
beside it, raised the helpless head, and
gently turned the face to his own. There
was feeble, last effort of the lips, and
