ended his life and for time crippled
her,
Hillside never had liked Carrie Dan
ielson so well as during those months
when it could treat her as helpless and
nurse and command her. She was in
their hands, and her neighbors rioted
in the placid joy of doing good unto
one who had never seemed to yearn
for their counsel or advice. They had
planned it all out in those first sad
days after the accident just what Car
RE should do after she had fully re-
covered.
"Of course she will sell this cot
tage," Mrs. Barnes said during one of
the long night watches. They'd just
got it paid for too. She can go back
to her folks. It's too bad they moved
away when they did,"
"Yes," agreed Mrs. Croft, shell

well and was able to go about as
usual. very pale and quiet in her black
clothes and different from the gay and

Hillside was disgruntled and shocked
by the upsetting of all its plans for

Mrs. Barnes went over at once when
the news reached her. Carrie" she
began abruptly, chow are you going

on?"
There was faint CLEAN of the old
humorous smile on Carries lips as she
surveyed her inquisitor's grimly disap-

That there were enough persons In
the world who yearned for mushrooms
to give Carrie a living income seemed
highly improbable, but all the protests
were met by her with facts. figures
and methods. for she had studied the
subject thoroughly before deciding to
go into it.
The determination with which she
