"Oh, Bah; my darling child!' was what
she said, as she stood on the threshold of
| the barren, third-story room, and looked
at the flushed, unconscious face on the
| not over-clean pillow.
Don't you know me, dear; don't you
| know your motherW
| But the girl only babbled on of the
spring in the orchard, the apple blossoms,
| the birds nest in the cherry tree, Old
Matta's kittens in the hay NOW, and
| Thede.
| .She came home from the store looking
pale and tired" her landlady said: Il
happened to meet her in the outer hall.
She always speaks pleasantly and pays
promptly for everything she gets, so I've
learned to like her, and noticed particu-
! larly how bad she looked. I'm going
home tomorrow, Mrs, Case she said,
and won't be back till after New Years.
so when she wasn't about next day, l
supposed she'd gone. 1t was just getting
dark when Mr.. Done-a bachelor next
door to her-came and asked me what was
the matter with Miss Burns; said some

her room all day. Gle writes stories or

trying to do for her, hain't had time to
do nothing else"
In the weary weeks following, spent by
Mrs. Burns in that cheerless apartment,
while life and death fought for suprem-
acy over the frail Beb, the former learned
from her wanderings how bitterly she
had repented her choice, and how terribly
homesick she had been. She learned, too,
how the young girl had repented her of
scorning the honest love of an honest
man.

brought. Her aunt was going to move,
however, and in order to be near her busi-
ness she must rent room and Doard her
self
The next letter told of a snail apart
ment in the third story Of lodging house,
It's meager furnishing and how dreadfully
tired she was at night.
She'll be comm home soon," laughed
her father, but the mother looked trou-
bled.
After that the letters were usually writ
ten in a hurry, sometimes sad and some
times with forced gaiety. More than
once her mother urged her to come home,
but only once did she refer to the matter,
then to say she would come at Christ
mas.
The weeks and months rolled round, and
the old farm house was full of festal prep
arations, for Barbara would arrive on the
twenty-seyenth. Three days before
Christmas postal card, hastily scrawled
on the counter, had announced as much,
and that the holiday trade kept her in her
place until nine and ten o'clock at night.
The morning of the twenty-seventh
found the family early active, and by
train time father was at he station, and
everything in readiness at home.
They're comin'!" shouted Ted, as he
decried the white blaze in Majors face
far down the road.
"They are comingv' was echoed all over
the house and by the time Ted has dis
covered that his father was alone, the
mother and two sisters were at the door.
Poor, bewildered father could only say
over and over again: II can't tell anything
about it; she want there-thats all l
know"
The day dragged wearily on, and still
no word. All the good things were set
away; probably she would come to-mor-
row. Again father went to the station,
again he returned alone and still no word.
The third morning was but repetition of
the others, and then mother said that
somebody must go and see what the mat
ter was.
"You better CO." father said, helplessly
and she went.

the nights in the woods and swamps,
while others seek the protection Of their
white landlords.
