The door was open to the fragrant

rose and jessamine. So was side-coor

width of the house. CORTLAND entered

thing had the air of freshness and of
being Enthusiastically new. twas
empty, but a faint hammering was
audible on the rear wall of the house,
through the two open French windows
at the back, curtained with trailing
wines which gazed upon sunlit court
ward. CORTLAND walked to the window.
Just before it, on the ground, stood
small light ladder which he gently put
aside to gain better view OF the court
ward. as he stood at the open window.
In this attitude he suddenly felt his
hat tipped from his head, followed al
most instantaneously by falling slip
Der, and the distinct impression OF
very small foot on the crown OF his
head. An indcscribable sensation
passed over him. He hurriedly stepped
back in the room, just as small striped
stocl;nged foot was as hastily drawn up
above the top of the window with the
feminine exclamation: Good gracious
me-'
Lingering for an instant, only to as
sure himself that the fair speaker had
secured her foothold and was in 10 dan
ger of falling, CORTLAND snatched up
his hat. which had providentiaily fallen
inside the room, and retrcated inSiorl-
ously to the other end of the parlor.
The voice came again from the window;
1t struck him as being singularly sweet
and clear.

ING ceased, followed by the sound OF
rapid whispering without; q few tiny
twigs and leaves slowly rustled to the
ground, and then there was complete
silence. He ventured to walk TO the
fateful window again
Presently he heard faint rustic at
the other end of the room and he
turned. A sudden tremulousnesss swept
along his pulses, and then they seemed
to pause. He drew a deep breath that
was almost a sigh, and remained mo-
tionless.
He had no preconceived fancy OF fall
ing in love with Miss Sally at first sight,
nor had he dreamed such thing posi-
BILE. Even the girlish face that he had
seen in the locket, although it had
stirred him with a singular emotion,
had not suggested that, and the idea
he had evolved from it was never
potent presence. But the ex-
uuisitely pretty face and figure before
him, although it might have been
painted from his own fancy OF her, was
still something more and something I'M
expected. All that had gone before
had never prepared him for the beauti-
full girl that now stood there. It was
poor explanation to say that Miss Sally
was four or five years older than her
picture, and that later experiences, en-
larged capacity, a different life and new
ambition had impressed her youthful
face with a refined nobility; it was
weird fancy to imagine that the blood
of those who had died for her had in
some vague, mysterious way impaired
an actual fascination to her, yet it was
a fact that even familiar spectator
like Sophy, saw in her young mistress q
very pretty young lady with the softest
pink complexion, the silkest hair-that
looked as the floss of the Indian corn
might look if curled, or golden spider
threads. if materialized-and eyes that
were in bright gray harmony with both;

THE OLD SOD HOUSE.

Sasssnory weaves in the wool of time
@flken thread In varied ways:
And autumnal skies remind US OF building
The old sod house Of pioneer days
Hard was the task and the builders Oft weary,
But in spirit worthy OF praise
They finished in rude but artistic manner,
Our house on the prairie in pioneer days
Spring-:ime came and nature, lending
A boupteous store from her floral world.
Bedecked the walls with waving grasses,
While wild, clustering roses their petals IN
furled
Brilliant MOSES in emerald colors.
The golden rod too, in beautiful sprays,
And trailing branches and vines chung about IT,
Our frontier home in the pioneer days.
The birds builded nests ia the rudely wrought
matches,
Dwelling a happy, carolinR band.

And q wintry mantle covered the land
There's q snatch of . song from the lips OF

Our frontier home has gone to decay;
But to me fond visions still linger

house he glanced shyly at it; his eye
frightened and his manner became self

young girl, but changed again when he
saw her companion. CORTLAND like
wise was conscious Of certain uneasi-

Miss Sally alone; but certainly another
thing to be doing so under the eye OF
stranger, and am afraid that he met
the stony observation Of the English
man with an equally cold stare. Miss

CORTLAND would have preferred, and
half looked for her company and COM
mentary on this round of inspection,
but he concealed his disappointment
and descended. It did not exactly
please him that Champney seemed re-
lieved and appeared to accept him as
bona fide stranger who could not posi-
bly interfere with any confidential re-
lations that he might have with Miss
SALLY. Nevertheless he met the Eng
glishman's offer to accompany him with
polite gratitude. and they left the house
together.
In less than an hour they returned.
II had not even taken that time for
CORTLAND to discover that the real i'm
movements and the new methods Had
originated with Miss Sally; that she
was virtually the controlling influence
there, and that she was probably re-
tarded rather than assisted by the old
fashioned and traditional conservatism
of the company of which Champney was
steward. 1t was equally plain, how
ever, that the young fellow was dimly
conscious of this and was frankly COM
municative about it.
