to the summons which he had half hest
] t~atingly made to her just before Annals en-
trance and seized the first opportunity OF
retaliation. But as Anna began to jig it de-
l,ghtedly in the center of the room Marin
ka, who was swaying negligently opposite
her partner in the graceful Lassu, or slow
movement of the Csardas, glanced at her
| lover over her shoulder and remarked with
a loud laugh:

This coarse witticism, conveying as 1t did
! a palpable alIusion to poor Annals deform-
| ity. was received with covert laughter and
applause. which. however. suddenly ceased
when the victim, standing stock still. burst
into tears.

day.
There was a good deal Of the young saw
age latent in Pista Knotek as he swung
along in the wake Of his oxen, which he
had recently unyoked. and which he was
now driving homeward.
To Pista 1t seemed hat everything about
him was in accordance with his moot. every
thing reminded him Of his blue sleeves. The
lambert sky. the equally luminous hills, the
drifts Of fragile flowers crushed beneath
his active feet. the focks of tiny moths
which fluttered at every step out of the
wayside grasses-all were blue. blue as those
wondrous flowers n ornaments which
were SO soon to grow on the fair linen
beneath Marinka's clever fingers.
He knew where to find Marinka. Only
that morning he had passed her in her
fathers barn. where a heavy task awaited
her-no less a one than that of thrashing
the piled-up store Of barley which It con-
tanned. There would be no one to help her
but ner little brother Marzi and her old
grandmother Zouzska, and her labor must
Of necessity endure from down to dusk. She
would certainly be working still. Yes. as
he drew near the village he could even dis
tinguish the thud. thud. thud Of the thres
fails as they fell in rhythmical succession.
By and by he came in sight Of the small
thatched shed where she was at work, and
could identify the figures within. Marzi,
with his bare feet planted wide apart and
his curly locks on end. welded his fail with
right good will: but Marinka worked more
langu!dly. turning every now and then to-
ward the open doorway. and gazing out
across the plain during the necessary pause
entailed by the turning over Of the half.
beaten straw upon the thrashing floor.
During one of these pauses she caught
sight Of Pista, who signaled to her as soon
as he saw that she was aware Of his ap-
proach.
Immediately she stepped out from the
shadow of the barn n walked to meet
him. the silhouette Of her form In its home
