It was her uncle in his high hat and
gloves, driving smart new trap. The
vehicle rolled down the long street and
disappeared. -reappeared, crawling
slowly up the side of mountain which
rose sharply from the town. and then
a paralyzing fear seized Josephine.
She dashed into her mothers room,
seized a field glass which lay on the
table and was back at her post in a
moment. raising the glass with un-
steady hands Halfway up the noun
tain side was perched a small brown
house standing out bare and un-
sheltered against the green. In front
of that house Uncle Ben secured his
horses and, sauntering up the steps with
the air of one familiar with the place
sat down on the piazza. In a moment
a woman came out of the house and
Joined him.
Josephine lowered the glass. Her
cheeks were flaming, her hands were
cold. That brown house was the last
house in Alldale where she would have
her uncle call; Ellen Beck was the last
woman in Alldale that she would have
had her uncle choose. She sat down
and stared at the house across the way
Was she too late? Her anger rose hotly
against her uncle who knew that she
and Ellen Beck had been rivals from
the time that they cOntended for the
spelling prize in the fifth grade until
the previous year when jim. Ashdown-
Josephine gave a sudden exclamation.
An idea had shot above her mental
horizon. carrying in its wake a plan, an
obstruction plan.
When she arose there was a tight, un-
pleasant expression about her lips. The
expression deepened as she unpacked
her trunks. She carefully shook out
the folds of a handsome ecru silk, one
of Bennett Henry's latest gifts. Joseph
inc looked exceedingly well in ecru,
and her plans required that she should
look and act exceedingly well, begin
ming with a church sociable to be held
that very evening.
AIIdale had never before seen Joseph
inc at a church social. She had here
tofore scorned them, but her campaign
required her attendance at this one.
She went prepared to cope with a situa-
ton which met her eyes as she entered
the door of the church parlors. It was
a situation in the form of a gay group
centered around Mr.. Henry and Ellen
Beck. Jim Ashdown was there and
half a dozen others. Josephine paused
a moment and shook out the graceful
sweep of her skirt During that pause
her keen eyes swept Ellen Beck.
Ellen wore dress of some cheap
material which she had made herself.
It was made with view to laundering
easily, but the fabric was a delicate
blue. which showed to the best advan-
tage her fair skin and delicate color.
A knot of crisp blue ribbon in her hair
accentuated its softness and the occa-
siOnal gleam of gold among the yellow
strands. As she stood with animated
face. listening to one Of Bennett Henry's
stories, Josephine found it difficult to
veil the dislike and jealousy which she
felt flame into her own face. Nature
had given Ellen Beck the grace the
dignity and the imposing carriage which
Josephine Henry had attained only by
careful cultivation, and Josephine had

hasn't hands. and an elephant hasn't,
and
No, they haven't, but have you ever
wondered how they manage without
them?
Have you watched a horse on a hot
day and noticed what he uses instead
of hands? Why his tail and his ears.
He switches his tail from side to side,
and hiclks his ears. and so drives the
tormenting flies away.
Then have you ever seen the ele-
phant? He loves buns. but sometimes
little girls and boys are rather fright
ened of him, so when they offer him a
piece of bun they drop it just in front
of him by mistake but Mr.. Elephant
twirls his long trunk down to the
ground. picks up the bun and easily
puts it into his mouth.
Lions and tigers and other big ami

as they haven't any hands they carry
them in their mouths when they want

Ten minutes later, sitting in her room

would have given weeks of her life to un-
say those hasty, biting words. They
would be repeated. If they should reach

they reached her mother The girl gave
a quick gasp. That thought stung.
Her first fear was realized within a few
days She had not dreamed that her
jovial uncle could look at her with such
angry eyes. She had not imagined that
he could intrench himself behind so high
a barrier that she could not scale it, and
Josephine trembled before his overwhelm-

Things were in this unexpected state
when she received a letter from her moth

sat down in front of the window with

trunks had already arrived, but she did
not even unlock them. There were
