Hayn, carefully moving an iron over one Of
the caps which she reserved for grand occa-
nons. "Only Mr.. and Mrs. Tramlay an the
two gals"
"Well, you ortn't TO forget that Phil Is city
folks now, an-I declare to gracious, I be-
lieve forgot to tell you that Miss Dinou--
that splendid gal told you about, that owns
lot OF stock In the company-Phils writ
that like enough she'll come down too. She
an her mother want to pick lot for house
for themselves before It's too late for much Of
q choice"
"well. can't understand II yet" said
Mrs. Hayn, carefully picking the lace edging
of the cap into the proper neglige effect. 'It
seems like dream. Here's me, that's some
times been almost a-dyin' 70 get away
from this farm an into the city, an there's
q whole passel of city folks goin' to leave
their palaces In Now York an come down
here to live OH little pieces Of our farm an
other farms along the ridge tell you, I
can't understand it."
"Well," !" said the farmer, picking some bits
Of oat chaR from his shirt sleeve, at amt
always easy to understand city folks ct first
sight Now, there's that feller Marge. When
fust saw him In New York wouldn't have
give him his salt for any work he'd do In the
country. Yet now look at himi Them roads
an drives through the companys property
wouldn't have been half 30 near done II he
hadn't come down here an took hold to hurry
things along for the spring trade. Why,
some Of them fellerS that's doin' tho work has
worked for me on the farm, OF an on, for
years, an thought knowed how to get a.
much out Of EN- as thcr' was In em; but,
bless your soul, he manages 'em . good deal
better"
"They do say he's n master hand at man.
agin'," Mrs Hayn admitted, ''an' that its
partly because no takes right hold himself,
instead Of standin' round bossin', like most
city men,"
"Takes holdi Why, he works as II he'd
been brought up at 1t, which I'm certain
sure he never was You can't see the fun Of
It, because you never saw him In New York.
Why, IL you could have seen him there you'd
have thought that gate post with two pegs
In the Bottom OF II would have had as much
60 as him. I've reelly took q likin' TO him.
Moren onceSye let him know that wouldn't
mind IL he'd leave tho hotel In the village an
put up with us, but somehow he didn't seem
10 take to it,"
"Thats strange, amt itr said Mrs. Hayn,
with quizzical look that made her husband
stare.
"Ohl" said the old man, after little re-
Hection.
you're CROWN dretfui old an short
sighted, Reuben" said Mrs. Hsyn; and the
farmer made haste to change the subject Of
conversation.
A day or two later the party from the city
arrived, and great was the excitement In the
village. Sol Mantrings viie, who had
learned of what was expected, made trip TO
Hayn Farm daily on one pretext or other,
reaching there always just before the time Of
the arrival Of the train from the city, received
the deserved reward Of her industry, and be.
fore sunset of the day on which the party ar
rived everybody in the village knew that
when Lucia stepped from the carriage at tho
farm house door Mrs. Hayn caught her in
her arms ami almost bugged tho life out Of
her. Everybody knew, also, that the party
was 10 be there for only twenty -four hours
The shortness Of the time at their disposal
was probably the reason that Phil and Lucia
disappeared almost Immediately after the
meal which quickly followed their arrival
They went to the lily pond; there were ID
lilies yet upon the water, but the couple did
not notice their absence; they could SEQ them
Just where they should be-just where they
were ten months before They got again
into the old birch bark canoe; 1t was not a.
clean as 1t should have been for the sake OF
Lucia's expensive travelling dress, for tho
small boys Of the Hayn family had not taken
as good care Of it as Phil would do, but Phil
made cushion Of leaves, which Lucia slowly
expanded into couch. she half rsclined
while she identified the scenes which her
farmer boy guide and boatman had shown her
