Which Were Long in Oisplacing the
Spindle and Distaff.

The invention OF the art of spinning
was ascribed by the ancients to MI
nerva, the goddess Of wisdom, says a
writer in The Housekeeper. The date.
1900 B. c.. is given as that of the be-
ginning of the art in Greece, under the
direction OF the king Of Arcadia, but
pictured Inscriptions on Egyptian mon
uments show that the use of the spin
die and distaff was known in that
country much earlier. The first dis
taff was simply stick, around which
the fiber to be spun was loosely cooled,
held in the left hand; the spindle was
a sort OF top set in motion by twirl
OF the hand, the fiber passing between
the finger and thumb Of the right
hand. This invention was improved
upon in the course Of time by placing
the spindle in a frame and making 1t
revolve by mechanical action Of the
hand or foot In connection with q
wheel or treadle-thus giving the true
spinning wheel The first recorded
use of this was in the early years Of
the sixteenth century, but it was prob
ably made and used long before this

been famous for the keeping of her
own house in the days of her coquette-
ship. Her grandmother had attended
10 this-and then a maid who in
terpreted her faultlessly. But now her
own hands did ali-and did it with
love. And she did replace Seffy-and
more. For she plowed, and, after a
brief apprenticeship, no one did it bet
ter The bay mare was as kind to
Sally as she had been to Seffy. Moth

they met. And no food was ever so
piquant as that eaten under the trees
at their incoming.
Sally still went to the post-office,
and the post-mistress still had her let

hand upon 1t, though she mercifully
concealed this.
But there was no hope. Not a word
OF confidence had passed between
Sally and the kind post-mistress. but
each knew that the other understood
quite as II their confidence was CON-
plete. So that it was as if they spoke
OF an old matter when Sally said, one
day:

Something flied the speakers eyes
and Sally, with the dumb intuition
OF the primitive nature. stood there
a long time and said only, Thank
you"
But after that hope rose and lived
again.
That night the post-mistress re-
ceived, from Washington, the address
of the Kansas State League of Farm
ers' clubs, and put 1t on the face of the
returned letter and sent 1t forth again.

She watched her put 1t into the bag

for all of the two weeks OF waiting she
was very happy-dreaming always.
Poor girl-she had made her life SO
unhappy that joy seemed divine. She
was sure of Seffy. Sometimes she won

might not come himself in answer.
She would not have been surprised to
have him steal up behind her-that
was his way, she remembered-an
call out softly her name So she went
about almost on tiptoes so that she
might hear him If he should. II was
a little difficult to keep it from the in
quisitive old man. who did not quite
understand her sudden happiness. But
she did It.
And. finally, the two weeks were up.
She was quite sure Seffy would not
waste a moment with his answer. And
he might use that mysterious instru-
ment, the telegraph. which she under
stood would not take more than an
hour from Kansas. She supposed his
message, even If he used the tele-
graph, would come to the post-office.

concern as q treaty between two ma

self in her best clothes to go to the
postotfice. she felt, somehow. as II
she were to be in Seffy's personal
presence, and must be as immaculate
as always. She wondered how he
would address her-forgetting that his
answer must come to the one whose
name she had signed. She had heard
OF various most dear headlines to let
tiers. | am afraid she blushed at all
this. For, as she looked in the glass
she saw face so radiant that she
looked again to identify it.
So. all the more she dressed herself
with the same care she would have
taken were she going to him instead
OF to the post-office for his letter She
remembered what he had said about
her hair, and she ventured to pull it
about her face. much as it had been
that night in the dark parlor. But at
the thought of that the tears came
slowly into her eyes. She had been
very happy that night. 1t was all the
happiness she had ever known, 1t
seemed now. She dried her eyes and
then she sat at the table where Sery
had often sat, and looked again In his
broken mirror. The radiance was
Quenched. Her face was pale and thin
now. She thought of it quite as il he
were soon to see it.
Il wonder II he'll think me hand

doubtfully at the face she saw in the
glass. NO, / have no red cheeks no

She remembered how he had kissed
them. and put her head down and
sobbed, They did not seem fit to be

But the post-mistress liked her bet
ter that way and so do l. For she had
acquired daintiness that was almos-
immaculate.
