Four months after the funeral an
other Mrs. Abraham Jenkins was in
stalled in the lonely farmhouse, and
she was all that the first Mrs. Jenkins
had foreboded. Young and frisky
pretty Matilda Brice had attracted
Abraham Jenkins at a Grange socia-
BILE, and his mourning had ceased from
that moment.
That there should be great indigna-
tion among the Jenkinses and more or
less establishment in the community
at-large was matter of course, but it
was some months after the wedding
nj the widower before marble slab
mysteriously appeared in the new
Jenkins lot in the village cemetery,
bearing the following inscription:

The Weakening of Wildwood
By Stanley E. johnson
Copyright, by shortstory Pub. Coz
By Stanley E. johnson

twenty years ago nobody went to
wildwood, and yet, 20 years ago, its
mountains were as picturesque, it's
sunsets as gorgeous, the white moon
hght, streaming through the tops Of
It's tall, dark pines, was as glorious
and Impressive as to-day. But now,
from an unknown crossroads, it has
become one of the most noted and i'm
portant places on the White Mountain
map OF summer travel. The little
place that slumbered is bounding with
life. From the first day of July to the
nrst week of October, every year,
more baggage is handled at Wildwood
junction in single day than had en-
tered the township in the whole
course Of its existence prior to its
awakening. And its awakening was
brought about by the great transform
er, Death. This is how it came to
pass:
In the best room" of the lonely
hillside farmhouse of Abraham Jen-
hns-a room seldom opened except to
the minister and book agents-were
assembled, one November day, the
clans of the Jenkinses and Perkinses,
TO attend the funeral of the late Mar
tina Perkins jenkins, the farmers wife
A stalwart son, the eldest of a family
OF nine children, had, after Abraham
himself, given voluble testimony to
their high appreciation of the depart
ed. The leanest of covey of maiden
sisters of the deceased took the wild
over aside and said: 81 only hope she
knows how yer feelin' fer her; it
would be good bit satisfyin' to her,
I'm sure. She sez to me once, sez
she, Eff go, know that AbeIl marry
some young thing that never'll TEX no
interest in the young ones, and they'll
be left ter shift But ye wouldn't do
that, would ye, Abe?"
Disregarding this pointed appeal,
Abraham Jenkins cleared his throat
and addressed the assembled COM
pany:
I've jest decided ter tell We, s'longs
yer all here, that I've sort O. felt ez
ef l sh'd foller her soon. So I've
bought a lot in the graveyard-to be
paid fer in instalments-and when
die | want yer ter put me by the side
of Marthy. Then shell rest in peace.
Them's my final instructions" Turn
ing to the maiden sisters of his la.
mented wife, he added: 81 know yell
tex good care O. them thar youngsters
that Marthy sot so much store by"
Then he broke down and sobbed wild
ly, "Oh, Marthy, Marthy, why hev ye

1t is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can

pain which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. 1t makes sleep
