A quick step on the gravel walk
brought her eyes from the needles and
her thoughts from the future,

into the -arbor and pumped herself
down on the seat beside Keturah. Flor

Keturah rose quickly, and then sat
down and began to ply her needles with
desperate energy. She did not even
notice that she was knitting back over
the same needle.

gasped in 8 voice that she intended to

besides, he could not let her have her

more he had advanced the unnecessary
argument that she was too old to live

this thrust; it sounded SO like the bris-

she turned away. hurt and silenced.
But it was true, she told herself re-
morselessly. She was getting to be
quite an old woman. And she went to

with proof of the fact. but somehow
the glass did not carry out the SEN
tence of the assertion Her skin was
still soft, and her cheeks had the same
delicate flush that had made her a belle

liked her in a rebuffed sort Of way,
but somehow, even from her vantage
ground of inside spectator. she could
never quite understand how one wo-
man could accomplish so much. Every
morning her conscience made her offer
to help with the work. and every morn
ing the conqueror looked at her with a
calmly superior air and said that slow
help was bother.
And that is why Keturah's mornings
were spent in the grapevine arbor or
out making poor calls. She wanted to
like the conqueror and tried to with all
the strength of her tender. shrinking
heart Was she not her brothers wife
and her own sister-in-law and was she
not the best housekeeper and the most
capable manager in Meadowville? But
even with all these attractions Ke-
turah could not force her sensitive. re-
fined nerves to ignore this new order
of hustle and energy and self assertion.
And there was another thing: For
three and twenty years Keturah had
been the undisputed mistress of the
establishment, doing the work in her
quiet, prim. ladylike way. and never
dreaming that the years would bring
other change than what rightfully be-
Ionged to them. She had been house
keeper for her father until he died and
then for her brother, and, although she
had once thought-and hoped-that
her brother might marry. such a pos

Keturah was not combative. and she

could she do? Since the conqueror
came she had no recourse against time
except knitting and missionary work.
and even her charity loving heart could
not find the shadow of an excuse for
making poor calls this morning.
Meadowville was a small place, and
since the Ladies' Missionary society
and the Children's Missionary band had
been organized the two or three poor
families had found It sinecure to keep
their poverty before the public. Even
the most liberal of the work lovers
were forced to admit that their pro-
teges were becoming more and more
shiftless and lazy.
Keturah loved charity work and
hated knitting. and it was this same
hate that made her cling to it 50 as
siduously. II she had lived in the right
age her sensitive conscience would have
provided her with sackcloth and ashes.
