troubles begin again, Mr.. Richard
Ward"
Mr.. Ward was silent awhile, and
then he asked about Barbara's plans
for solving the servant question.
Il don't think she's done anything
lately. know she hasn't. Mrs. Vane
sent over the other day to inquire
when she was coming to see her again.
My illness has kept Barbara very close
to the house lately"
If Barbara had heard this talk, it
might have encouraged her to confide
IL Mrs. Ware ar matter which
had begun to trouble her somewhat,
and that matter was no less than the
action of her own son Alfred Ward.
1t was now nearing the end of the
college vacation, and the young man
would soon be starting back to col
lege to enter on his senior year. Dur
ing the weeks he had been at home
he had spent a great deal of the
time about the house. He was behind
in two of his studies, and was work
ing little to make up.
One day Barbara while at work in
the dining-room heard him wrestling
with German sentence in Faust He
seemed to b. unable to render it into
good English. and Barbara naturally
began to translate it for HIM without
looking at the book.

KANSAS

A gray. slow-moving. dust-bepowdered
wave,
That on the edges breaks to scattering
spray,
Round which my faithful collies wheel
and bark
To scurry-in the laggard feet that stray;
A babel OF complaining tongues that make
The still air weary with their ceaseless
fret;
Brown hills akin to those of Galilee.
On which the shepherds tend their
charges yet.
The long. hot days. the stark. wind-beaten
nights;
No human presence. human sight or
sound;
Grim. silent land of wasted hopes, where
they
Who came for gold oft-times have mad
hess found;
A bleating horror that foregathers speech.
Freezing the word that from the lip
would pass,
And sends the herdsman groveling with
his sheep,
Face down and beast-like on the tram
pied grass.
The collies halt, the slow herd sways and
reels,
Huddled in fright above the low ravine
Where wild with thirst a herd unshep-
herded
between;
A narrow circle that they will not cross
thing that stops the maddest in their
guarding dog too weak to lift his head
Who ticks still hand shriveled in the
sun.

Barbara had been unusually con-
fined to the homework. Mrs. Ward had
been again subject TO an attack of
nervous headache, and the whole of
the care had been thrown upon Bar
.bara. Mrs. Ward had. now learned to
trust her implicitly. This did not
mean that the sharpness of her man
ner under stress of her headaches had
entirely disappeared; but Barbara had
learned almost perfectly how to antic-
ipate her wishes, and the girls great
love for Carl and his complete trust in
her, together with Barbara's cheerful,
competent handling of the entire
kitchen, had all united to capture Mrs.
Wards affections. She was content,
even in her enforced id1eness. to lie
still with her pain and indulge in a
great feeling of thankfulness for such
a treasure in the house.
She was talking of it one evening
with her husband.
r. do you realize, Richard, what a
prize we have in Barbara"
"She is certainly most remarkable
girl. The most competent servant we
ever had in the house, isn't she?"
"Without any comparison; And
want you to build that room as soon as
you can"
Mrs. Ward had mentioned the mat
ter of the room over the kitchen, and
he had agreed that it was not suitable
for a girl like Barbara.
''Or any other girl, Richard" Mrs.
Ward had said.

"But Barbara never has any COM

a little amusement at the look his wife
gave him. "She hasn't any beaus, as

Hilda, who had given signs of be-
ing in hurry, rose and walked to-
ward the door. Barbara also got up,
and, somewhat to Mrs. Vane's sur
prise said: 81 think I'll go, too. I'll
walk along down town with you, Hill
ia, if you don't mind"
Hilda nodded and Barbara was not
quite sure that she was pleased to
have her company; but Barbara had
been thinking of q plan, and she need
ed to be with Hilda little while in
order to carry it out. So the two
went away together.
They had walked down the street
half block, when, in answer to a
question, Hilda said she was plan
ming to do some shopping.
Let me go, too; are you willing?"
81 don't mind" said Hilda, but with
a note of hesitation that Barbara
could not help remarking.
They went into several of the
smaller stores, where both of them
purchased one or two small articles,
and finally entered the great store
of Bondmans.
Hilda knew one of the girls in this
store, and as they stood by the
counter she introduced Barbara. The
girl behind the counter stared hard
at Barbara, but returned her greet
ing civilly enough, and then began
to giggle and whisper with Hilda.
Hilda seemed nervous, and repeated
ly looked at Barbara as if she were
In the way; and Barbara, thinking
the others might have some secrets,
walked over to the opposite counter.
She had been there only minute
when a young man sauntered up to
Hilda and the friend behind the coun-
ter, and all three began to talk to-
Sether. He was not bad-looking
fellow, but Barbara quickly put him
down as of that class of weak-headed
youths who might be seen almost
any Sunday evening walking down the
main street of Crawford in company
with one or more factory girls.
This time Barbara did not attempt
to avoid watching Hilda. A floor
walker in the store, going by at the
same time, glanced sharply at the
young man; but he was apparently
buying something. The foorwalker
tuI uSu III IhC Chu vi liic COuntcT, anu
came back; and this time he looked
longer at the two girls, and finally
beckoned to the one behind the
counter. She turned very red, and
came over to where he stood. He
whispered something to her thai
made her turn pale and instantly she
went back and completed the sale of
some little articles that Hilda had
bought. giving the f1oor-walker, as
she did so, several hateful looks.
Hilda ano the young man contin-
ued to talk together while waiting
for the change. When it came, he
seemed to hesitate and finally looked
over at Barbara. Hilda said some
thing, and he answered and walked
slowly out of the store.
Barbara came over, and Hilda
picked up her purchases.
"Are you ready?"
YES" Hilda said shortly, and after
word from the girl behind the couo-
ter they went out.
They walked along for some dis
lance and then Barbara ventured to
say: "Why didn't you introduce me
to your young gentleman friend?"
Hilda colored deeply as she an
swered slowly: Il didn't suppose you
would care to know him."

The railroad-that coquets with the
winding river from one end Of the val

grows ardent in its wooing, and hugs
the stream closely. Only a zigzag row
of frame warehouses and lumber piles
-perched insecurity upon wooden
docks-separates it from the object Of
it's alteration.
The station building. low, rambling
affair, faces the tumble down ware
houses and stares across the track at
them, frowning at their brazen empti-
ness. Back of the station the ground
rises rapidly. and dotting the slope and
the sandy PEN beyond, are the resi-
dences and business places of the Baby
lonians- The town resembles a garden
hose-one principal thoroughfare ex-
tending westward from the river to the
hills half mile or more away.
