The tree geranium was we'll along
in years, as geraniums grow old, and
it's history was infinitely told in Dian
tha's diary. Just the number of
blossoms it had had last year-and
the year before-was set down there
with auxiliary remarks.
"Twenty-three's the most it's ever

rs it had last spring? declare, I'm
losin' my memory, and that'll be some

The diaries were piled in neat row
on a shelf over the table. The year of
each was printed in careful figures on a
bit of white paper on the back. 1t was
easy to find the right one at o--ce. She
opened it and read aloud, monot-
onously:

The bushes in Virginia's wales wave DER

Through lands of peace and plenty to the

In peace they rest this holy day-Colum-

Their campfires burn no longer on the

| the soft rustic when Diantha Berry
turned leaf. At the top of the new
page she began again:

| boy went past to school. She don't

row mornin' they'll bury Little Ben
| jie! / shan't ever see his face again!''
It was like a cry of pain, in little
neat set letters, there on the page.
It seemed to echo through the room.
The diary slipped to the floor with
gentle thud. It lay there, unno-
ticed, long while. The twilight
dimmed tonight while Diantha Ber-
ry sat musing. The darkness crept
about her like a soft mantle and
wrapped her in. The low creak of
her chair, as she rocked monotonous-
ly, was the only sound in the room.
After awhile she began to talk again
aloud, as lonely women do.

can spare a lot of them to Little
| Benjie! I shall have him all to my
self-Leah's got spell of rheumatism.
| If 'twarn't for that, couldn't go at
ALL"
She experienced fierce joy, and the
/, sound of it was in her voice. She was
glad that Little Benjie's mother was
| sick. Across the yard there was no
| glimmer of light. Little Benjie's
mother sat in the dark, too, and
unused. A faint remnant of daylight
kissed her wan face gently as it van
| ished.
! "He was such little mite of boy,
Benjie was, when 1 put him into
pants" her thoughts kept on. with
relentless cruelty, "and 1 sent him
over to Diantha's to show 'em to her.
/ When he came back, all his little
pockets were full o. goodies. I can
see just how he looked, struttin'
acrost the yard, takin' long steps like
man. And | can hear how Diantha
laughed. She couldn't have been
much fonder of Little Benjie-she al
ways called him Little Benjie-if he'd
| have been her own boy. But after
ward-afterward when he laid still
and cold. in his blue clothes. she for
| got she'd ever loved him. She forgot
then. If he'd been her own boy,
would she have forgot? Would she
have kept away from him then be-
cause of little foolish quarrel?"
In the bitterness of her soul, Leah
Swallow flung out her arms and cried
out sharply. The rough motion tor
tured her pain-racked body, but she
scarcely felt it.
"Benjie Benjie!" she moaned.
"Benjie- mothers boy, why didn't I
hold you back? / need you SO. Why
did I let you go? Weren't there other
boys enough? Weren't there boys
