and concern as she watched Uncle
Eben, who, having descended from
the high wagon with deliberation, was
helping Aunt Jerusha to alight The
old lady hitched cautiously along the
seat, put one ample foot tentatively
on the step, glanced suspiciously at
the motionless Jack, and was at last
deposited on the ground.
With 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 turned towards 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 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
inquiringly, munching. But there was
no one else to see-the boy was weep

She had smiled at him with her big.

party, her head had rested for mo-
ment on his shoulder. His heart beat
faster with the thought And now Ed

week. She would marry him A
sob ended the thought.
Jack turned his head with soft

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, 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 Drumming
pail under old Jacks nose, and patted
the thick coat-"drink that. It's well
sailed. 1t ought to agree with you"
With smile of somewhat determined
cheerfulness he turned away to finish
the chores

WANTED TO BE ON SAFE SIDE
Woman, Twice Deserted, Didn't Mean
to Take Any Chances on Her
Third Hubby.

The officers of the thumb print bu-
reau were just wishing for something
interesting to turn up when a tele-
phone message offered timely diver
sion. A woman was speaking.
DO you make prints of anybody
thumbs except criminals?" she asked.
The bureau did.
We'll" said the woman, ''if l will
come down there right away with a
man will you make print of his
thumbs?'
The bureau would. The man and
the woman came.
I'VE want his thumb prints for
identification" said the woman. 1--WE

Is my third husband. The other two
ran away and had the hardest kind
of time to find them because there
was no sure way of identifying them.

He crossed the room with the brim-

There was little of the heart-broken

public toilet with the unconscious

his brown face and neck and running

hair He emerged from the folds of
the heavy crash towel, his face glow
ing and his eyes shining.
His presence lighted the dim room.
Mrs. behring's face lost it's tired look;
Uncle Eben limped cheerfully back
from the sitting room; and as they
seated themselves at the supper table
the boys exuberant vitality gave a
touch of unity that had been lacking
before. Aunt Jerusha softened a little
towards Uncle Eben, merely keeping
watchful eye on him. as one might

CHAPTER !.
A young man was walking slowly
along the country road
His eyes, fixed moodily before him,
saw nothing. But his feet kept to the
narrow path that skirted its edge,
avoiding the wheel-tracks and hoof-
prints of the frozen surface, and keep
ing well within the line of stiffened
aster and golden-rod that rose on
gray stalks beside the stone wall on
either side.
Beyond the wall fields of stubble
stretched, brown and bare, in the twi-
light. Everywhere hung the cold, I'M

the young man, emphasizing the list

back, listening. The movement

crept into the eyes, spread over the

laugh.

The listless shoulders Strengthened
themselves, and the young man faced
about, looking back.
Far up the road, outlined against
the orange sky, a high farm wagon
was approaching. The old horse made
his way over the bulbs with spasmodic,
seesaw leaps.
The two figures planted firmly on
the high seat seemed in no way in
