had always thought the old house
pretty comfortable, but mebby that's
because I've lived here all my days.

Ell, mother?"
Letitia looked somewhat surprised
at this view of the question. She had
not dreamed that there could be OBJ
jections to such delightful project.
"0h, if you. and mother would not
like it," she began, trying to speak
easily.
Her mother heard the CULVER of
disappointment. Like ftp" she said,
briskly. ''Who said we wouldn't like
it, Lefty? I s'pose gas and runnin'
water and such fxin's will be real
convenient when we get used to 'em.
You mustn't be surprised if it took
father and me a few minutes to
grasp the notion. There, now-if I
amt forgot the apples I was bakin'
for support" and she vanished in the
kitchen.
'But, father" LetitiR was still
perturbed. Mr.. Harlow took the
flushed cheeks between his horny
hands and looked fondly down into
the troubled eyes. $50 ahead with

best. Besides, there's Johns wishes
to be thought about. He's remem-
bered that view all these years-a
mighty pretty prospect and a real
slightly place for home"
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.

His wife put up her hand to the
toil-worn one upon her shoulder.

We'll let her have her way" he said,
sturdily. "And, after all, the old
place'n be right here. I amt a-goin'
near she had approached to disap-
pointment.
The interest in the new house, at
first simulated, soon became gen
uine as the parents listened to Lett
tia's happy plans. By March their
wishes were well formulated, and on
mild day that gave treacherous
promise of spring, Letitia started for
the city to engage an architect. The
journey was short, and, in a brief
time, she found herself whisl1ed aloft
in an elevator and deposited at the
door of "R. Ellsworth, Architects; "
this particular person having been
recommended by a friend of her IA
ther. Feeling somewhat nervous at
the magnitude of her undertaking,
Letitia timidly knocked. A chair
grated on the floor within and when
the door opened young man, with
quiet bearing but alert glance, bowed
gravely to her.
SIS Mr.. Ellsworth within?" she
stammered. 81 would like to see him
upon business" He stepped back to
allow her entrance, then bowed
courteously again. 81 am Mr.. Ellis
WORTH he said, as Letitia was about
to advance toward middle-aged
man, busy with drafting tools in the
north window.
"Oh!" Letitia could not suppress
the exclamation; then flushed Grim
son. 'I-why, I expected an older
man." she said, helplessly, then was
doubly chagrined at her frankness.
A glimmer of mirth appeared in the
young mans eyes; then, with quick
perception of what would set her
caller at her ease, let his amusement
have full sway. In moment Letitia
joined him and laughed until the
tears stood in her eyes.
''What an absurd speech!" she
sighed at length. But it was the
truth. came to engage you to make
plans for our new house"
"And now you doubt my wisdom
and experience" he answered. LET
me-
81 think will ask you to under
take it," she said, quickly; then, be-
coming grave, gave him a clear &C
count of what she wished.
When Mr.. Ellsworth submitted the
plans to the Harlows, all misgivings
that Letitia might have harbored
vanished.
In April the ground was broken,
and through the fair spring days and
those of early sum 4ner the work went
merrily on. All Letitia's spare mo-
ments were spent in watching the
walls arise and her dream take form.

to steal back to the front of the
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

'Oh, 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-

low, she saw them through mist of

A week later Letitia received a let

though brief, was vastly comforting.
Errands soon called Letitia to the

and pale. Soon, however, she was

came to Mr.. and Mrs. Harlow to visit

myself" he declared with conviction
-'and in just such place!" ss
1t was early in October that, at
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 haIlowed by sad
and tender memories was filed 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 futtered down the hill to
meet them. "It is eli ready, now"
she said, breathlessly, Except the
hanging of a few pictures! I'm SO
glad there was enough money left
for the new carpets and hangings. 1t
has made it so much more beauti-
full" Laughing and chattering she
drew them from room to room, point
ing out each individual charm and
comfort, unheeding the obvious eff
fort with which they tried to share
in her joy.
ST wonder where mother is" Lett
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. "Pll
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 hv-
ing-room she had discovered her
mother, crouched on the dusty floor,
for1ornly gazing before her with sad,
unseeing eyes.
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

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
how 60 Enforee Vaccfnatiop.

The attorney general says it is
doubtful if the Kansas law authorizes
a city council to pass an ordinance
compelling school children to be vae-
cinated. He explains, however, how
practically the same. result can be
reached as far as the public schools
are concerned. The city council, he
says, has the power to pass an ordi-
nance, in the interest of the health
of the community, prohibiting pupils
from attending school if they have
not been vaccinated. This gives par
ents the choice of having their chill
dren vaccinated or keeping them out
of school. Then, if the parents keep
their children out, they can be ar
rested for violating the compulsory
attendance law.

Or by frozen lake or sea,
BY far western plain or mountain
In whatever place he be,
The voice from home will reach him.
And unto his heart will say:

Fails to call some wanderers aeme,
For beyond the seas and wales OF life
Now their silent footsteps roam;
And all in vain our hearts send word
Across the unknown way:

Come home Thanksgiving Day!'
