"She's as still as death. l like to sing
and laugh and make a cheerful clatter,
but your mothers house is as silent as

Philip heaved a great sigh of relief.

Martha Raymond amt changed
none since she was twenty, 'cept to get
redder headed" the village dressmaker
said to Deacon Lindsley's wife.
Il don't know" Mrs. Lindsey re-
piled. Seems to me she's more indie
pendent than ever since her pa and ma
died"
Think so? Well, she's still on the
sunny side Of thirty-fve and got more
taste than any young girl in town. She
never wears red next to her hair-al-
ways black or white or green. l tell
you an artist don't understand colors
'better'n Martha does. l wonder if Phil
Gardeners proposed to her yet this
spring"
Il guess not. It's usually a little
iater'n this he asks hor-bout when
I'm half through house cleanin'"
Every one in the village knew that
Philip Gardner annually proposed to
Martha Raymond and was annually
rejected, but only the reflector and the
rejected knew that old Mrs. Gardner
was the cause. of Philips woe. Every
year he had said. Martha, won't you
marry me now? and Martha had re-
piled, mot if l must live with your
mother Phil"
Strange to say, he had never asked
her to be more explicit. He had no
idea of her reason for refusing to live
with his mother. 1t was enough for
him that she refused.
This year it was later than usual.
Mrs. Lindsey had finished house clean
ing when he climbed the steep hill road
that led to the old Raymond homestead.
1t was early in the evening, and Mar
tina was busy among her flower beds.
She looked up with a conscious smile
when the little gate clicked behind him.
Good evening, Phil" she said. did
you come to get some violets?
'No," he replied bluntly. 81 came to
get you. Can't l, Martha?"
mot if l must live with your moth
er, Phil" she said, with an air of
finality.
To her surprise, he did not. as before
turn dejectedly away. There was a
determined look in his eyes before
which she trembled.
Il must go in" she said.
'Not until you've mentioned what
you have against my mother" And he
deliberately barred her way.
Marthas temper rose. 81 wouldn't
live with her for a farm she cried
