priest walked up and down chanting
and scattering flowers. The ceremony
over one Of the clerks went to each
man and gave him raw rice and told
him to chew 1t to pulp. After about
ten minutes they were told to stop
and eject it into the plantain leaf.

WHEN LOVE
TOOK HEART
BY JANE OSBORN

To John Crosby there was some.
thing particularly irritating about the
little Doreville railroad station. II
stood for the city, once an enchanted
word. but now only an unwelcome re.
hinder of his boyhood dreams To-
day he had been forced to drive over
to the station In the big, numbering.
springless farm wagon, and he was
now within ten yards of the great,
pufang, snorting over-bearing engine.
John Strengthened his already erect
shoulders. pulled his hat over his
tanned, clean cut features. carelessly
tossed the reins around the whip,
and dropped to the ground. Then,
with his hands in his pockets, he
walked slowly up to the only person
who had got on the train. She was
exactly what he had expected. from
her pretty yelled face to her trim, lit
tie. tan boots. She put her hand out
frankly.
"oh, l knew you were Cousin John.
You are, aren't you?" she asked.
Somehow. John managed to mutter
q few words Of greeting and in Z few
minutes he had got the girl and her
baggage into the wagon and was dri.
wing home. dimly conscious that she
was doing most of the talking.
Ethel Clark felt momentary shock
Of disapproval AZ she looked at the
ill-kept drive way and the tumble
down gate posts of the old house she
had heard so much about; but she
was soon out of the wagon, standing
before her great aunt Bethia. whom
she had come all the way from New
York to Doreville to see.
80 this 10 Ethel" she said with
trembling voice. well you are good
child to come to see US. It's long
journey and you must be tired"
That night after supper, when
Ethel was sitting with her great aunt
in the old sitting room, talking Of
family affairs that interested them
both. the old woman impulsively rose
and kissed Ethel's brow.
Il like you, Ethel" she said, look.
ing into her eyes, and I'm glad you
came" Then a. she took her seat
again in her high.backed rocker, I'VE
used to think that your father was
proud after he married and that was
why you never came to see VI, but

Il should think one OF the farms
further up the hill would be better"
she suggested.

Maybe" John said indifterently;
but 1t doesn't make much difference
We get used to it-in time"
Ethel caught the look of discomfort
In his eyes. ooh. should love the
country. John. It's 80 peaceful and
quiet"
Ethel had stopped short as she felt
his eyes searching her face, and her
cousin had gone on into the house,
leaving her plying him more than
ever.
After supper, John left the house
saying that he was going to see one
Of the neighboring farmers. 1t was
q warm night and after Aunt Bethia
had retired. Ether came down from
her room and out into the refreshing
GOODNESS Of the night air. She was
walking listlessly up and down the
driveway, when she saw through the
trees the dark shadow of her cousin
coming up the road.
Without exactly knowing why, she
walked out to meet him. She felt
sudden desire to ask his pardon, and
to crave forgiveness for her intrusion.
1T was 80 very warm" she began
when two strong hands on her arms
stopped her short.
IT'S your fault, Ethel" he said.
you shouldn't have come out this
way" He seized the helpless girl in
his arms and held her close to him
for q moment. Nov co." he com.
manded. freeing her, "and go az far
away from here as you can"
Esther put her hand on his arm, and
tried to control her trembling voice.
why, John. you don't know what
you're doing"
Il do" he contradicted, shaking
away her hand. Il want you to no
back to the city and forget us. We
are nothing to you. You have your
life and have mine. I was Just ret.
ting 20 that could manage it. when
you came and woke up all the old
lonsings, the old impossible longings
and the newt"
III only could help you," said
Ethel. If only could make It easier
for you!"
They had reached the little house
and John was holding the door open.
Good night" he said. a. she hurried
past him.
Ethel left Doreville the next day,
giving % her excuse to her great aunt
that she had been called to attend
to some business.
One evening six months later. when
Ethel reached her shabby little board.
Ing house after . hard days work n
the school where she taught. abe
found John Crosby waiting for her

come Of him after I'm gone. He
doesn't seem to like the girls, and I
guess they don't like him either-he's
20 proud and unsociable. Folks
around here say he's getting wild, but
that's not co."
Az the days Of Ethels visit wore
on. she grew more and more inter.
ested in her unfortunate second cous.
In. and with the natural longings of
her sympathetic heart and a desire
to relieve his mothers anxiety she
tried to bring him out Of himself and
to get him to take an interest in the
social life of the small community.
One afternoon. ten days after her
arrival. Ethel was sitting alone in
front Of the old Crosby house, with a
book open before her. It was an old
Pilgrims Progress" that she had dis.
covered In a remote part of the attic.
Il shall be sorry to leave the old
place" she thought. "and yet ought
