and her husband.

Every man and woman In the pretty
little town had been an actual or sell
appointed witness against the cast-oh
wife, but now that the newly eleased
husband had shaken the dust Of ELM
willie from his feet and had set his face
toward the vague place known as the
west" Elmville began to notice how
lonely poor Mrs. Gregstone really
looked, Some Of the less forgiving per-
sisted in laying all the prosecuted wo-
mans sad looks and crushed manner
4 to the load Of conscious guilt, which
the court and Mr.. Gregstone's wit
nasses had fastened forever upon her
Shoulders. But once in a while there
Was found wife or widow who
shook her head doubtfully when SLAM
lder's tongue wagged' more sharply
than usual.
AS for Mrs. Gregstone herself, she
lived on in the little white house,
which she had bought before her mar
|riage, when she had come from the
east to teach in the Elmville schools.
Her mother had been with her then,
but the next year after the daughter
marriage to Mr.. Gregstone the sweet
faced little mother fell softly asleep,
and now that Mr.. Gregstone had gone,
his widow crept oftener than ever out
to the tiny graveyard on the elm
crowned hill, just up from the town.
The sharper-tongued gossips asserted
all this was done for effect, but a wet
eyed young mother, who had buried
her frst-born baby just on the other
side of the wild-rose bush which
marked the farther boundary Of Mrs.
iGregstone's little portion of Gods acre,
came back to the town one summer
evening, vowing never again to help,
by word or tolerance of word, the dis
paragement of the deserted woman's
name. - So.
"She was sobbing there all alone
when left," whispered the young
wife, as she was folded in her hus-
bands comforting arms, "and all at
once it seemed to nae that had no
cause at all to grieve for baby, for I
had you>to come back to and poor Mrs.
Gregstone had no one in all this whole,
wide world to care an atom whether or
not she ever came back. It was lone
some out there in the graveyard fQr
the sun was almost down but it seemed
to me that her face meant that even
that was less awful than her tiny, dark
little house here in town."
=! Three years went by and the senti-
ment against the sad-mouthed, de-
serted woman had moderated to the
degree of an occasional sympathetic
smile. But the men Of the town held
back from absolute withdrawal Of their
condemnation, as a possible sword of
Damocles above sundry rebellious

wives, while the women shifted at her
as creature too unattractive and tact
less to retain the love of faithful hus-
band. Mrs. Gregstone seemed not to
care very much for all their contempt,
but spent her time among her flowers
In the tiny garden at the side Of the
house, lifting up lilies and roses in
spite of the fact that man refused to
smile at her. K
Then, one June morning Elmville
was stirred to its foundations by the
story that old Father Gregstone, who
had accompanied his son on his journey
west, had suddenly died, with the last
request that his body be brought back
to sleep in the little graveyard at Elm
Vile. And, to add to the wonderful
tale, the son had recently taken to him
another wife, and the whole town quiv-
cred with expectancy at the advent Of
Mrs. Gregstone No. 2. No one would
confess to having been the bearer Of
the cruel news to the first wife, but
there was an extra shade of pallor on
her sad, sweet face and she never
raised her eyes from the bed Of pansies
she was wedding all morning long, not
Withstanding that goodly portion Of
the feminine population Of Elmville
seemed to have especial errands past
her tiny white cottage that day.
Mrs. Gregstone the first did not go
beyond her gate all day and the most
prying eyes could not tell whether or
not she sat behind her tightly drawn
front curtains to watch the last jour
ney Of her erstWhile husbands father.
She couldn't see the man whose name
she still bore, however, nor the woman
who now occupied her old place, so
perhaps she was not watching at all.
But everybody else in Elmville saw
them and noted how old and careWorn
their former fellow citizen looked.
But when they looked upon the new
wife they some way did not wonder SO
much at Mr.. Gregstone's air OF per-
petual unrest. For the strange wom-
ans face, although beautiful, was a
petulent, selfish one, which she seemed
bent on showing to all the simple, hon
est people her husband used to know.
