1t was one of those calm May twilights
that stretch their gray light so far into the
night there seems no room for somber dark
ness. That perfect peace that only the iso-
lated spots of the earth can know, rested
like benign blessing over the valley of
Washita. A few lissome swallows drifted
slowly across the blue of the evening sky.
A boy with freckled face and sunbrowned
hands climbed laboriously up the mountain
path that led to the Klmen cottage above
He held a mssive in his hand A part of
the dirt Of his chubby fists had transferred
itself TO The white envelope; there were tear
drops sprinkled over it-teardrops that must
have fallen from his red-rimmed blue eyes.
Mrs. Kilmen was inst coming in from her
garden with bunch of early rhubarb i'm her
hand. She paused at sight of the small fig
ure climbing SO slowly up the rocky way.
Shading her eyes with the rhubarb and
bending her body forward for a careful scru-
tiny, then she called slowly, shrilly, as all
WashIta Hills women do:
Truth Truth! Harley Herrington's n
coming up the mountain with letter in his
hand; maybe it's from Henry"
Truth got down from the ladder she had
climbed 10 train morning-glory vine over
the side window of the cabin, and went down
ming little song that now and then broke
into something that sounded like low laugh
of sheer happiness. Her feet seemed keeping
time TO the beats of her joyous heart, and
carried her down the path in lithesome
glide that seemed TO her mothers eyes the
very poetry of motion. The grandmother
had come TO the door, and stood there lean
ing on her heavy cane, waiting, like the
other two, for the reading OF the letter
Harley Harrington had the slow, delib-
crate gait of the dwellers in the Arkansas
mountains, but it seemed slower and more
deliberate than ever TO those three women
watching him. Truth held the gate open
when he had finally reached it; his hat
dropped so low over his face she could not
see his eyes and somehow he did not raise
them tQ hers in his frank, honest way, but
stood there in silence, holding out the letter,
his head hanging low on his breast
why, 1t isn't from Henry!" she cried, in
astonishment and disappointment, looking
at the unfamiliar address.
The boy made no reply. She thrust the
letter at her belt.
"Pll read it after while, Harley, unless
you want an answer now. Now tell me
about Henry; have you heard from him
lately?" eagerly.
A quick, spasmodic nod was her only
answer.
