back, and swung away briskly into
the dusk. He was conscious that he
was rapidly putting off his indiffer-
ence. 1t did not occur to him to
doubt his ability to succeed in the
work which he had elected to under
Take on the morrow. The waxing
half-disk of the new moon cast his
shadow before him, and in this and
the chirr song of the crickets there
was sufficient companionship. He
was glad he had not found Leeairaft.
After hs had proceeded thus alert
~ FOR half mile, the highway dipped
sharply into a wide and deep vale
that was packed with the dense shad-
ows of night. Beyond, upon an OPP
posite crest. q ggppp of III trees
thrust iheir dark pyramids into the
sky. Rossiter had no mind to plunge
into this gloomy void, 50 he seated
himself in a fence corner above the
road, his back against the rails, and
lighted his pipe. He was more free
With his tobacco now that he actually
had something like steady employ
.nent.
In the darkness not far distant a
wood-thrush was sending up its final
evening fute-notes. Rossiter listen
ed to the rapt soloist, having no
thought of the past nor of the flu
ture, conscious only of the present.
When the bird ceased singing there
was still the orchestral music Of the
crickets for his delectation. The
moon was well risen in the heaven
by the time his pipe burned out, yet
he had no desire as yet to return to
the farm. The vale below had grad
i,ally emerged from Its obscurlty and
was brIlnmed with moonlight like an
enormous bowl. He fancied he could
make out the forms of grazing cat
tie, and caught the silvery moon
sheen upon the running water. The
/, half-distinct panaroma held him until
his attention was taken by q sound
which he presently made out to be
the footballs of pedestrian plodding
along the road from the direction of
the Mertons.
The large, slouching figure of man

Opposite where Rossiter sat the way

newcomer down as one of the indi.

recently belonged, and, having no de-
sire for speech with him. did not
move But the man in the highway,

his eyes about as II fora spot to rest

The man had moved several steps
in Rossiter's direction, but the tone
from the fence-corner had not been
especially cordial, and he now
stopped.

inquired, as a means of renewing the
conversation.

He pushed back his hat, and for

1t was towny-bearded almost to the
close-set eyes, and the effect was at
the same time fantastic and repel-

'Whiskers!"- Rossiter's lips uncon-
sciously framed the name by which
this man, Hart Dawson, was com

The mind of the younger vagabond
reverted with swift listinctness to

sought shelter IN a rough Iean-to.

JOURNALIST HERE ON VISIT

A conspicuous British invader at the
moment is st. Leo Strachey, editor of
the famous Spectator. No one who
studies his portrait will question the
strength of the character back of the
countenance, but, to our mind. Mr..
Strachey's most pleasing characteris-
ties are his incisiveness and breadth.
1t goes without saying that his early
education was neglected, because, for
sooth. this is his first visit to Ameri-
ca. nevertheless, he knows a deal
more of our country than many of our
selves know, and. while viewing our
idiosyncrasies with that amused toler-
ance which no true Britisher can hide
and which, in turn, is amusing to US.
he is the most conspicuous. constltu-
ent and stanch friend of the United
States to be found in London. He is
also. in our judgment, the ablest of
English journalists. 1t is well that he
should come here and acquaint him
self with our people. and it is fitting
that we should express our pleasure
of seeing him with our wish that he
might remain longer.-Harper's Week
