Joseph Pond smiled and gave a side
glance at his daughter. Emmeline was
smiling, too.
''Do just as you like, mother" he said
'Well, then, Emmy, you put on your
things, m run down to Jenkins N see
if Aunt Eunice is there. Bring her back
with ye."
Emmeline ran quickly up stairs for her
hood and shawl. On her way back she
stopped in the south chamber. 1t was
very plainly but comfortably furnished,
and the bed made and fire burned in
the open CRATE.
"Gracious!' said Emmeline, as she
looked around the room. ''Mother does
beat ALL" She glanced out of the win
dow in the lower hall as she went by. A
sudden light sprang to her eyes.
"There's Aunt Eunice now, goin' down
the road, mother" she said, running into
the kitchen.
"You run after her."
When the little old woman was ushered
in by the triumphant Emmeline a few
minutes later, Mrs. Pond took her up
stairs at once.
81 hope you'll like your room, Aunt
Eunice," she said, as she opened the
door of the south chamber.
Aunt Eunice looked from the comfort
able feather bed to the bright fire, from
the neatly curtained window to the goat
skin rug before the bureau. On the bu-
reau was the scarf she had seen Emme-
line hemstitching.
She sat down in the rocker and put her
hand over her eyes. She didn't say a
VOID.
Mrs. Pond went out softly. On her
way she tripped over bundle by the
door. 1t contained all the old woman's
earthly possessions.
Pm glad enough 1 asked her to
come" thought Mrs. Pond as she closed
the door.
Then she heard voice from the room
THANK God! Thank God!' and the
sound of stifed sobbing.
Down stairs Emmeline was helping
her father oil the harness. II can't
think what's come over ma" she said.
Hush! there she is" said her father.
