three warnings the authorities could
shut up the newspaper at any mo-

will remain in force only year if a
second does not follow within the
year; the second will expire within
two years If there is not a third within
that period, and the third will remain
in force only three years. This action
with regard to the liberty of the press

That night, when the glimmer of
Letitia's bedroom candle was lost in
the darkness of the upper hall, Mr..
Harlow softly closed the door and
tiptoed across the rag carpet to his
wife, reading her Bible by the kero-
sene lamp.
''It's goin' to come harder to you
than to me, this leavin' the old
home" he said, tenderly. Lefty is a
good girl and will give it up without
a murmur if you say the word.'
His wife put up her hand to the

tia's happy plans. By March their
wishes we're we'll formula ted, and on
a mild day that gave treacherous
promise of spring, Letitia started for
the city to engage an architect. The
journey was short, and, in brief
time, she found herself whisked aloft
in an elevator and deposited at the
door of "R. Ellsworth, Architect"
this particular person having been
recommended by friend of her IA

the magnitude of her undertaking,
Letitia timidly knocked. A chair
grated on the floor within and when
the door opened a young man, with
quiet bearing but alert glance, bowed
gravely to her.

to advance toward middle-aged

north window.
"Oh!" Letitia could not suppress

doubly chagrined at her frankness.

Part of the meaning of it flashed
into Letitia's mind. To be sure, this
was the birthday of Serena-little
Serena, who died so many years ago,
but who yet lived in the mothers
heart. Letitia was touched, and longed
to reach her mother and comfort
her; yet all that she could do was
to steal back to the front of the
house and there, pacing back and
forth in the sunshine, wait until her
mother emerged from the shadow.
Here Mrs. Harlow found her when
her sad musings were put away.
"Why, Lefty" she tried to say,
with her wonted brightness, "what
brought you here? I thought I'd slip
down for few minutes, and see if
all was right" But Letitia was not
to be evaded. "You have been think
ing about Serena, DEAR" she said, low
ingly, laying her cheek against the
faded one, long since furrowed by
tears.
"Yes," Mrs. Harlow said, simply,
forgetting her role of cheerfulness.

while. She seems nearer to me in
the old house,"
And then Letitia's eyes were
opened.
It was not many days before the
| elders noticed a change in the girl.
There was a new gentleness in her
manner, a vague usefulness, that
puzzled them sorely.
"Aren't you feelin' well?" her ia
Their asked, anxious1y.
ooh, yes-of course I am WE'LL" the
girl answered, brightly, smiling up
at him. But when she escaped to the
hall and, halfway up the stairs,
paused to look out through the dia-
mond panes at the brown fields be-
low, she saw them through a mist of
tears. II do love it SOL" she whis-
pered, passionately; but there was re-
nunciation in her gesture.
A week later Letitia received let

show. "All right. Do as you think
BEST" it said. "Their happiness is
our first consideration" which,
though brief, was vastly comforting.
Errands soon called Letitia to the
city, from which she returned tired
and pale. Soon, however, she was
apparently her old self again. The
household was subsiding for the
winter, when an urgent invitation
came to Mr.. and Mrs. Harlow to visit
a cousin in neighbo-ing town.
"Of course we can't &C." Mrs. Har-

-''and in just such placed"
1t was early in October that, ut
last, they entered in and took pos
session. Letitia, full of rejoicing over
the wide windows, the hardwood
finish, the convenient closets, the
artistic coloring and charming vistas,
felt little sorrow as she denuded the
old house to make habitable the new.
But, to her father and mother, this
forsaking of walls hallowed by sad
and tender memories was filled with
unutterable regret. And when the
key was turned upon the echoing
rooms, now no longer home, the old
people looked into each others eyes
for the comfort that neither could
give.
Letitia fluttered down the hill to
meet them. ut is all ready, now"
she said, breathlessly, Except the

in her joy.

tia murmured, one golden day, a
week later. A half-fnished stocking
lay in the mending basket by win
dow overlooking the old home; but
mother was not to be found. ''I'll
run down to the other house." the
girl thought, uneasily; and, throwing
a soft scarf about her head, hurried
along the road and past the orchard.
Turning the knob of the green door.
she found it locked, so slipped around
the side of the house, glancing in at
the window as she passed. Suddenly
she shrank back into the shelter of
the lilacs, for in the dismantled iv-
ing-room she had discovered her
mother, crouched on the dusty floor,
forlornly gazing before her with sad,
unseeing eyes.
