wheat field beyond. 1t was the 18th of july,
raw and cloudy, strangely cold for the sea-
son. The field had been partly cut, and the
reaper stood in the swath Everything went
wrong. The oil was so thick in the can that
it would not run; the new horse, Robert,
young black, was unused to the elatter Of
the machine, and it was all Kit could do to
make him and old brown pull together.

tried a little while, but his heart was not in

bundles that no one could bind. He gave
it up.
''Hold on, Kit" he called. Il can't do it"
She saw he could not; then she despaired.
She sat still in the drivers seat, her face
turned away She knew not where to look or
what to think Her lips trembled, her heart
