CHAPTER u.

Within doors, in the warm kitchen,
Mrs. Derring was getting supper.
Aunt Jerusha's chair was drawn UP
to the stove. With her brown merino
skirt turned safely back from tie
heat and her large feet resting com
fortably in front of the owe door, she
beamed over her gold-boved epec-
tacles, the picture of comfort. Uncle
Eben, with knees drawn ur and boot
heels on the round of a straight wood
en- chair, rubbed his fingers and
chuckled into the conversation.

about her" she said d~ecisively. She
began to mix the light biscuit for tea.
Uncle Eben dropped his boot-heels
and rose with a crestfallen air, He
limped towards the sitting room and
buried his ignominy behind the Ash

glance towards the sitting room door.

seat, put one ample foot tentatively
on the step, glanced suspiciously at
the motionless Jack, and was at last
deposited on the ground.
With a smile on his lips the young
man watched the absurd figure, sup
ported on either side by his mother
and Uncle Eben, waddle UP to the
front door. Butas he turnedtowards the
barn with Jack the smile disappeared
and the ~listless look returned.
He was fighting his first real battle.
Hard work, poverty, the heavy mort
gage, had not served to darken his
spirit. But tonight as he came by
Emily Hutton's he had seen a yellow
wheeled buggy at the gate. 1t meant
that Edwards, the storekeeper from
Plainfield, was in the house, was per
haps at this minute talking to Emily.
Richards eyes smarted at the thought.
He turned the ~hay-cutter swiftly and
mixed old Jacks supper.
Perhaps Jack was surprised, a mo.
ment later, to feel an arm thrown
about his neck. He turned his head
in%quiringly, munching. But there was
no one else to see-the boy was weep
ing out the bitterness of his heart.
She had smiled at him with her big,
black eyes, and once, on a sleighing
party, her head had rested for a mo-
ment on his shoulder. His heart beat
faster with the thought. And now Ed.
wards--this was the third time this
week. She would marry him A
sob ended the thought.
Jack turned his head with a soft
whinny. The boy raised his head,
half-shamefaced. His hat had fallen
to the floor and his eyes were full OF
tears. He looked very boyish to be
crying for a lost love.
He threw his arm again across
Jacks neck and stood for a moment
with his face pressed in the thick fur
Then he Strengthened himself and
clenched his hands. He would rather
die than have the folks in the house
know about It! His lips were firmly
closed as he stepped into the fading
light, a wooden pail in each hand, and
crossed the barnyard to the old pump
When he had filled the pals he
dashed the water over his face and
eyes. He turned back to the barn, his
head erect, and whistling softly under
his breath.
"There!"-he thrust the brimmine
pail under old Jacks nose, and patted
the thick coat-"drink that. It's wei
sailed. It ought to agree with you
With a smile Of somewhat determined
cheerfulness he turned away to finish
the chores.

Something was struggling in it. The

belief In his love for the face before
him. That she WIS lost to him he
had accepted without struggle. But
that his love for her should go, too,
that he should not love her always

not be.
And over his idealism, and around

strange certainty, that love was al
