The Girl Who Came Back
Copyright, 1909 by Associated Literary Press)
By TEMPLE BAILEY

suddenly Jean chung to her, sobbing
ooh, mother, mother" she said, Il
have come back to be your own little
Jean-always."
"Then you are not going back to
the city," her mother asked.
"No-let me tell you why"
1t was a simple little tale OF the
effort to preserve high ideals amid
sordid surroundings. "All of the girls
wanted pretty clothes, and we would
do almost anything to get them. We
lived in poor, little rooms and cooked
our sausages and ham and eggs over
the gas jet-and we bought silk stock
ings and puffs with the money we
saved. We didn't have enough to eat
sometimes, but we could sweep the
length of our silk petticoats across the
floor and we consoled ourselves that
way"
But you wrote that you were hap
py-"
"At first I was" Jean said. 81 was
just silly enough to think that look
ing well would make up for it all. But
after a while it seemed to me that l
should die il I didn't see the fields
and hear the birds-oh, you don't
know how 1 wanted to run right out
to Andy's farm, mother"
II thought you hated the farm"
81 did-because / didn't know"
She came over and knelt by her
mothers side. There was a man in
the city-he was rich and generous.
and he took me out to ,suppers when l
was hungry-and to ride in his motor
car when I was tired. At last he asked
me to marry him and I said, Yes
But I didn't tell you, because some
how 1 couldn't see you welcoming him
to this shabby little home. Not be-
cause he was too fine for it, but be-
cause you were too fine for him,
mother-with all of his money I was
ashamed of him. And that wasn't all.
1t seemed to me that instead of want
ing me to live up to the best that was
in me he wanted to drag me down to
his level. He liked to have me amuse
him with my brightness. But the real
me, the real woman of me, that you
know, mother, he didn't care to un-
derstand.
She stopped and went on, slowly.
"And last night-last night I had a
letter from Andy Wentworth. For all
that he really knew, was happy and
prosperous, but his heart mad told him
that l needed him. He begged me to
let him know if anything troubled me,
that he might help. Even though
| would not have him in my life. he
wanted to care for me-to protest me
from evil"
She stood up with shining eyes.
"And that's why I came back, mother.
To be your own little Jean again. To
marry Andy. To live in Gods coun-
try and forget the things I have
learned in the city. l wish l could
tell all girls to stay near their moth
ers and the good men who love them
for there's nothing that makes UP
for it in the whole wide world"
She was sobbing again in her moth
er's arms. But presently she sat up.
Lets finish Emily's Dress" she said.
And when she had put stitch here
and there and had tied the bows she
held it up. "She shall wear my pink
corals and my gold comb" she said,
land she will be the belle of the ball.
but I will stay home with you, and
Andy shall come, and you shall give
us your blessing, and please God we
will all live happy ever after. mother.

Emily's face showed her dissatisfac-
ton. Its wrong" she said, down
heartedly, land I'm not blaming you.
mother, only you and I haven't the
knack of getting things right. as Jean
had"
IF Jean were only here" sighed
the little mother, and then, taking it
back quickly, "Of course / ought not
to wish it if she is happy.
well, wish she would ask me to
come and see her." Emily sighed. II
don't think it is fair that she should
have all the fun. do you. mother?"
"She works for it," the mother ex-
cused, "and of course she's away all
day"
YES" Emily agreed, "but we could
go places in the evenings and she
knows so many men,"
"Yes," the little mother agreed, abb
stractedly. She was ripping at the
sleeves in Emily's dress with a view
to making them shorter.
81 think that's why Andy Went
worth didn't want her to go to the
city," Emily said. "He was Jealous"
well, Jean never would have been
contented to settle down on a farm"
the mother said. you can try this
on again, Emily"
When Emily had eaten her supper
and had gone to bed so that she might
&c wide awake on the night of the
dance, the little mother worked late.
And al, the time her thoughts were
with Jean-Jean, who was working in
the city.
Suddenly she stopped and raised
her head-in the midst of the wind
and storm she heard call.
She went to the door and looked
out. The lamplight shining on the
path showed dark figure.
Mother" said voice, TREMENDOUSLY.
"Jean!" In another moment the
little mother had her in and before
the fire. She took of the velvet wrap
and handled the plumed, hat with rev.
erence, revealing thereby Jeans slen-
der figure clothed in modish black,
her hair a golden crown of puffs and
curls.
How pretty you are" said the little
mother. rapturously. "It's such joy
to have you, JEAN"
II had to come" Jean began, then
stopped and laughed little. 81 am
hungry and I know you have some
cookies in the little jar. You always
have them, you know"
So Jean sat and ate cookies and
talked in her gay. light way of every
thing except the reason why she
came back.
She examined Emily's dress and Of
fered to fix it. "I'll run in the bed
room and take of this gown and be
comfy"
When she came back she wore a
pale gray kimono.
"Now yot look like my own little
Iean." her mother said. brightly. and

One of the leading questions con-
nected with the successful manage
ment of dairy farm is the question:
Twill it pay to devote more than ordi-
nary attention to the care and food

ly, that it will pay and that the times
and circumstances which surround us

abandon the old practice of summer

few months while they are in pasture
and drying them of in the fall, ane
adopt a system of all the year round
