It was cleaning when Janet Goudie
crept to the white gate leading to her
fathers farm. On the ridge between
her and the west she saw the two long
shafts Of a tilted roller standing up
dark, gaunt. The sight made her sud
denly afraid. She thought OF her IA
Their. Was 1t he who had been work
ing with the roller-who had left II
there an hour since? She paused with
a beating heart.
After a little she opened the gate
and slipped quietly, through, holding Il
carefully in her hand as she turned to
fasten If. She remembered how 1T al
ways swung to the post with clap,
and. though she was far from the
house, she shrank from making a
noise. Then she turned up the hilly
road
When she came out upon the bare
uplands,;,. they were flooded with un-
canny Afght. 1t dazzled Janet SO that
she could scarcely see the house lying
straight before her. Her whole body
felt how visible to the farm folk ii
must be, coming on illumined in the
yellow glare. She covered so closely
to the stunted hedge that the strag-
Cling brambles tugged at her. A burst
Of terrible splendor came. athwart the
world, an awful dying gloom. Far and
wide famed the red and silent moors
like affairs lighted for the end of time
Janet crept on. feeling mean and little
In the great desolation.
At last she stood within the long
shadow that was cast toward her by
the house, So dark and silent were
the buildings that her heart stopped
beating with a sudden dread. But
presently a familiar sound fell on hel
ear, and she breathed with relief or
looking round. Over in the little croft
the ducks were waddling home, late
as usual, and Gathering away to them
selves. When the drake stood up and
tapped his wings, the white round oil
his breast shone wildly.
The farm road led to the square close
at the back Of the dwelling house The
front was to the sunset. Janet stole
to the corner Of the barn and peeret
down through the shadows to the
kitchen door. She was shaking with
fear. Her father had threatened thai
If ever she came back he would hount
the dog at her. She hoped it would
not be a new dog. Badly, she knew
would not bite her. The tall white
wooned pump glimmered like a ghost
in the gloom. She remembered every

THE DOORBELL,
1t Tells What Manner of Man You
Are by Your Ring.

1t Tells What Manner of Man You
Are by Your Ring.
DOOrbells are pretty fair indicators
Of character. Probably you have not
been conscious of it, but every time
you pull doorbell you register what
manner OF man you are. Your ring will
not tell everything about you, from
the color of your eyes to your taste in
flowers, but to those who know the
signs the doorbell is as good as a title
page. Any one who has had occasion
to answer bell pulls knows how much
difference theresfs in them. One per-
sons method varies little from time to
time. though the difference between
that method and somebody else's,
while slight, will be sufficiently well
marked. 1t is seldom that two rings
are exactly alike.
The housewife recognizes each, the
impatient man, who pulls the bell
twice in quick succession and does not
wait long before trying it again; the
one of more phlegmatic temperament,
whose ring is slower and more SUBJ
stantial; the hesitating woman, who
draws the knob out in a succession of
nervous jerks; the seedy individual
with matches to sell, who stretches
the wire carefully to it's full length
and then allows it to relax with a
faint, apologize tinkle, and the jolly
friend, who knows he is welcome, and
therefore grasps, the knob with hear
ty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature, and sets the bell to shak-
ing its sides with such peals of echo
ing laughter that it positively cannot
stop at once, but subsidies gradually
with merry, irrepressible little litter.
A doorbell has as many voices as Wis
itors.-Berlin (Md.) Herald.
