Almost Blind.

My little 4-year-old girls eyes were
so weak from birth that she could not
stand any light at all. Was treated
by several physicians without benefit.
My neighbors induced me to buy Nor

bottles not only restored her sight,

row from the bow. They had come just
far enough-just fast. enough to make
them warm and supple. On, on, they
flew, quickening at each stride, their
hoofs striking sparks from the scant
pebbles in the highway, running so
swift in the teeth of the wind it seemed
to strengthen it into hurricane. Now
the black head was in front, now the
roam. 1t was curious duel of speed,
one wherein each rider fondly hoped
for the others triumph, yet spared no
effort to come in ahead.

together they flashed across the mill
road. making in at the end of the
straight mile. You can't beat the

Rose looked and laughed outright.

and wrists into the bargain. All me!

them. So had Mr. Edmunds and Billy
/ Hope. Esten was disguised with him
self. He could not expect to have Rose
all to himself again that day. He had
meant to say SO much in the course OF
their ride, and he had said nothing at
all. He had been counting her openly
for three years-ever since she was 16
/ So had Billy Hope. She had a dozen
other casual followers, but Hope was
the only one of whom Esten was seri-
ously afraid. The pair were reasona-

When they We're out in the big road
which wound past the gate. Rose gave
Warlock his head bit. Esten smiled
to see it. The black held steadily to
the fox trot. Evidently he had not for
gotten his lesson. Rose smiled too.
Il wish there was nobody but our
selves on the road she said. What
ride we might have! But it would
not do at all to risk running into staid,
proper people or setting their horses so
wild as to make them run away"
why didn't we think to go out by
the other road?" Esten said discomfort
eddy. Il want you to find out just how
well Warlock goes. Then maybe you'll
take me TO get him. / know you'll new
er do it unless there is something be-
sides myself"
I 1t wasa laughing speech, but with an
undertang of reality. Rose blushad
Ifaintly-that is to say, the damask
roses broadened the least bit. She
! hicked Warlock daintily and sent him
cantering after a rockaway some hun
bred yards ahead. The Elversons We're
in it, three excellent young women,
with big noses all and no compilations
to speak of, who, having no beaus of
their own, regarded lovemaking in
Il
version.
Aunt Peggy says if you don't come
home with me she'll be heartbroken,' -
Rose began. She says. too, I am to
tell you she has made marble cake spe-
cially for Miss jimmy and fried pies for
Miss Lucy and cheese cakes for Peggy
Ann"
"Oh, you needn't be tellin us!" jimmy
said sniflily 1--WE heard it all this
{ mornin. Dinahs sister Dilsey stopped
in to see us. Wish you had heard her
tell about the turkeys and the ham
boiled in wine and the spiced beef and
saddle of mutton and goodness knows
what besides"
She said there was chicken salad
and chicken pie and oysters and vege-
, tables and seven sorts of pickle and
'leven kinds of cake. to say nothing of
mince pie, ambrosia and wine jelly"
Lucy Elverson supplemented, with a
sour smile. Peggy Ann, the youngest
. and Miss Peggy's partial namesake,
smiled a small, eager. propitiative
, smile, and added:

softness that sets a blood beast wild.
Rose had mind to ride at fox trot.
She meant to go decorously, at least as
far as Miss Peggy could see. When she
felt Warlock's stride stretch and quick
en-, she refined him in gently, yet firm
ly, patted his neck, then softly snapped
her fingers little way back of his ear.
why, how did you know about
that?" Esten asked, somewhat amazed.
Il never told you how I'd trained him."
Il have eyes on purpose to see
things" Rose said, smiling. Warlock
had responded properly to the signal,
but had not given up his own mind. In
half minute he was again stretching
his step. Rose drew lightly on the bit.
The horse shook his head, as though
defying her. She gathered the reins
short, held him hard and gave him two
singing cuts in the flank. AS he
swerved his master cried:
Miss Rose, don't do that! He-he
isn't used to it."
HE will not make me do it again,
Rose said, smiling. "That is one beauty
of blood in horse. 1t makes him re-
member"

Rose from saddle she said in his ear:

Jimmy"
HE don't deserve help-risking a
wife and young baby behind those gray
devils!" Esten protested. Nevertheless
he strobe to the heads of the span,
caught the bits and held them. while
Jim Malone tucked the baby under one
arm. then held out helping hand to
his wife.
| She was small. conceited woman,
baby faced and always simpering. The
simper strengthened as she stepped
across to Rose, holding the baby so
all its splendid long skirts would show
Don't you feel bad over TOMS leav-
ing you this way?" she said. Poor
fellow! He can't see me even now
without wanting to wait on me-"
Indeed" Rose said, with an accent
of innocent inquiry. Mrs. Malone tried
to look bashful

you be jealous, Rosy. Leave that to
Jim Malone. You hadn't rightly set out

Isaid, with unfattering candor.

how desperately Flora Malone, then

you give them apples and sugar and
petting-and make them know they
must mind" Billy laughed easily.
TN mind you without making-if
only youth give me the chance he
said. Rose shook her head.
Then you are utterly spiritless," she
said, "and / like spirit beyond every
thing"
Rose, I'm not a coward--except in
one thing. I have been so afraid you'd
say no, l haven't given you the chance
to say yes. But you shall have it now"
| Billy said his face whitening as he
spoke. Don't answer offhand, darling,
but will you have me and all l pos
l3sess?"
| Rose looked straight ahead, swallow

hill road, which ran through woodland,
/, high lying woodland upon top of the
bluffs bordering the mill stream. New
lfallen leaves blew down it in long drifts
or waltzed airily in the grasp of elfn
| whirlwinds. There was almost no un-
Idergrowth. The branches locked over

alive there, with the sunshine, the
woodland scents and the subtle delight
of knowing herself so loved.

'That'll be a be as sure as he says
$50" Rose looked at her very straight.
This is Thanksgiving day." she said.
$50 let us give thanks in place of criti-
cising our neighbors."
She flung herself heart and soul into
the service. 1t was brief and simple,
for the most part singing and prayer.
Everybody sang, and, if the chording
was imperfect, the underlying spirit of
gladness made up in vibrant harmony
| all of melody that was lacking. Some
how, tears came to Roses eyes as she
chanted the "DoXology." Perhaps their
ultimate root was the little Malone ba-
! by, innocently asleep in spite of its
mother and its fnery.
She glanced across the aisle at her
father. Family sittings We're unknown
in the church. He was singing with

her two lovers, looking decorously
down. They We're too well bred to
stare at her in public. For the first
time she realized what she meant to
them, and how deeply it behooved her
to deal with them fairly. So far she
had played with them not in malice,
but with child's light coquetry. She
had a frank affection for both, but, ii
she knew her own heart, no real love
for either. And they We're men who de-
