that was Eugene Ford's position. The
trouble had started with a trifle. and
the breach had widened steadily until
their being together at the Van Order
house party was rapidly developing
into a heart sickening shame. Even
the women had commenced to gossip
about the affair over their teacups
when Eugene was nursing a headache
in her darkened room.
From the distance came family the
sound Of children's voices. The strain
was relieved. Ford pushed aside the
overhanging branches and said:
IF you will come with me. perhaps
these children can point out a path"
Without answering she followed him
through the rustling leaves to a clear
ing, where two children, a lad of ten,
manly little chap, and a pretty girl of
perhaps eight, were busily sorting their
afternoons harvest of brown nuts.
Both stood gazing shyly at the "city
folks"
In response to the desired informa-
tion, given with remarkable cIearness
by the bright eyed boy, Ford tossed
him a coin and turned on his heel. His
wife paused and smiled into the up-
lifted face of the little girl.
What are you children doing here?"
she asked, pointing to elaborate dia-
grams formed of small stones.
Were playing house" responded the
child, encouraged by Eugenie's evident
interest in their game. That's the
parlor you're standing in. The mans
in our dining room. This is the kitch-
en-, and over there is our room. The
sticks are doors, and you push 'em
open. Didn't you ever play you were
married like that?"
The woman laughed bitterly.
'Matrimony is something more bind
ing than rows of stones. One is bound
in by walls of conyentionality."
The child Strengthened up.
Does that make as nice houses as
ours-those walls-of-of''-
They make a prison, a place from
which you must break out if you would
see the light of day"
Her heart was hot within her and
Eugene did not realize that she was
talking to the child. She thought only
OF the man watching her curiously in
the mellow autumn light.
The girls face fell.
"Oh, l thought it was some new
game, you know"
No, it's as old as the hills. Are you,
too, tired of your boy husband and
married life, and so soonT"
"Of course we're not" protested the
child. Are we, Willie?" The boy
shook his head and dug the ground
with his copper toed shoe. "You see,
