The sunshine seemed unusually
pleasant that bright spring morning
How good it was to be out! How
the buds were swelling and how busy
the birds were. hopping about from
place to place choosing sites for their
summer cottages. All nature seemed
rejoicing that the long, cold winter
was past
Old Mrs. st. Leger stood for a mo.
ment in the open doorway, enjoying
It all; then she noticed bit of vine
which the wind had loosened from
the trellis. She stepped on a chair
and stood on tiptoe to put the truant
back In its place, when she over-reach-
ed and would have fallen had not the
strong arm of passerby caught her
and deity placed her on the veranda
floor.
Lucky thing happened to be pass
ing or you would have had nasty
N fall If not broken limb"
1T was indeed fortunate for me and
am very grateful to you." she said.
as she looked at the tall form bending
over her.
What were you trying to do?
Bring me hammer and some nails
and I'll fix that broken trellis for you.
It's not the handiest thing in the
world for woman to do that kind
of work."
Seems as though the place needs
quite bit Of fixing. guess I'll have
to get a man In for a day or two"
you're bit like myself, see. You
miss your partner and / miss mine. |
But you're better off than am; you're
in your own home, while I've had to
give up mine and go and live with
my children. None of them want me,
SO have to Give round" with them.
Do you understand. Stay with this
one a while and then with that,
always feeling that I'm not wanted
and in the way" A mournful tone
had crept into his voice and shade
across his kind face.
She sighed in sympathy as she
said: Il know, and that's what I'm
coming to. The children say that /
can't stay here another winter. Last
fall had to sell my COW and through
the winter killed all my chickens.
hate to give up my little home
where I've been SO comfortable all
these years. This living with the
children takes away the Independent
feeling that makes one so contented."
THAT it does; I'd rather live on
less and have it under my own roof"
They sat awhile in silence. The
warm spring sunshine fell on their
locks. whitened by the SHOWS of many
winters; their toil-worn hands lay
idly in their laps. The tabby cat was
taking nap on the old lady's skirt
and his dog Rover, which followed him
everywhere, lay curled up at his feet
They had spent useful lives and had
looked forward to winter Of quiet
content, which, alas! seemed to have
slipped from the grasp of each.
We'll, I've one more summer in the q
old place anyway. My tulips and Gro. Q
