about so feet; that's ALL"
"An' leave my front room all aloue?'
gasped Lyddy.
That's about what" replied Mrs
Philbrick.
"But the will says I'm ter hare a
front room in tn house as long as l
live" she demonstrated. ~
''Wa; amt you got tn front room? +?
Tn will don't say we can't remodel
our part Of the house, does II? 10 it
don't say you are ter have q front
room IN our new house, does It?
Course you can't expect ter have two
rooms. You can have tn front room
OF this house, or back room in tn
new house. Make your choice" AS
she delivered herself of this ultimatum
Mrs. Philbrick's face took on a re-
vengefnlly humorous look as she noted
the perplexity of the other.
Miss Lyddy struggled with herself
for minute or two, and then drawing
up her thin form to it's utmost height,
cried: Cut it out an leave it,"
Mrs. Philbrick had expected a sur
render. Receiving this defiance her
black hsows lowered and she nodded
to the grinning, waiting workmen to
go ahead. The task was simple one.
Proceeding with great care, they de-
tached the front room and by the end
Of the week had moved the rest Of the
house forward about so feet. Miss
Lyddy IN the interim remained locked
up in her narrow castle, only darting
out to procure food from the kitchen.
On these occasions Jethuel would beat
retreat to the barn. The front room
was the rear room now, and standing
by sitssk. surrounded by the cellar
walls, K looked odd and desolata. Just
what Lyddy would do in the winter
worried Jethuel not a little; but his
wife Qnieted him by declaring that
with the first snow Lyddy would seek
refuge in the back room and all would
be we'll.
One day Lyddy opened her door and
caught Jethuel, who was passing.
"Jethuel, you've lodged me fer
some time. Now you pay heed min
ute ter what | say. You an Laura
have deserted me. but lem'm me tell you
this, an you be sure ter tell her. I'll
never come inter your house till she

salo has Den aone.'
The ten-year-old youngster alluded
to-, was the one person to whom
his mother, Mrs Philbrick, bowed
her head. He ruled her, even as
he ruled his spinster aunt. Prob
ably if Lyddy had been asked OF
give up her room for his sake
she would have suffered But the
| mother was too jealous of the boys af-
fections to be beholden to Lyddy in
his behalf
And so, with the exception of the
boy, Dan, Miss Lyddy received no Wis
itors. The boys mother forbid him
going there, but he disregarded her
commands and called daily, knowing
full well the weakness of her love.
1t was after the carpenters had
worked two days in raising the old
house up story that there occurred
the first serious misfortune to come
to the Philbrick household. Mrs.
Philbrick had been frying doughnuts
and had left her task to get an arm
full of wood. The fat boiled over,
and when she returned she found the
rear of the house ablaze, with Jethuel
and the carpenters working desperate
ly to stop the flames from spreading
"Oh! Oh! Where's Daniel!"
moaned Jethuel, as he saw his wife
coming up the path alone.
"DanI in there?" shrieked the dis
tracted mother, rushing for the blaz-
ing doorway.
Il have Dan in here. 1 fetched
him through tn end winder an down
tn ladder. He's burned some," called
Miss Lyddy from her doorway. Then
she turned and closed the door and
locked it.
'fLem'me In, Lyddy Philbrick!"
shrieked the frenzied mother.
Miss Lyddy came to the window and
looked down on the distracted wom-
an calmly. When she could make
herself heard she said: ''No; you
can't come in here. Now listen: tn
house is ruined, an although tn men
are savin' enough ter shelter you an
Jethuel. it'll be no place fer this boy.
But if you say so, you can have him.
If you do take him inter that ruin, all
water soaked an smoky, he'll probably
die. Leave him here an I'll take as
good care Of him as you would. But
you two can't come in. You'll recol-

mother. II must be with him!

Dan showed his frightened face at
the opening long enough to sob: I'm
scared of tn fire, ma. don't want ter

His parents, even in their fright
observed that bis hands and arms were

member your vow an knuckle Why,

Lawd, who knows but what he's in

Mrs. Philbrick stifened up, gulped
back a sob, and then burst into tears.
"It's hard, Lyddy," she choked, but
you saved him IL ough tn winder.
You was watchin' out fer him when |

she retreated to her castle, the much
wanted front room, while Jethuel es-
capped through the back door to evade
the storm he knew would come.

dissension. When Squire Philbrick
died he believed he had done justice

specified in the will, and although
Jethuels wife had accepted the situa-

openly tried to oust her sister-in-law
until this summer. Then listening to
the promptings of her relatives she
decided to effect a change. Jethuel
had done well with the farm and
there was no reason why the old,
low structure should not be raised and
remodeled and made the most pre-
tentious Of any on Pugsley hill. But
the will and its specifications could
not well be ignored. and for some time

Miss Lyddy sat sadly at the window
