PLANNED BY
A WIDOW
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1910, by Associated Lit
erary Press.

The widow HunneWeIl had been a
widow for four years, and she hadn't
found much in life for her. She had
had to split her own wood, build her
own fires and milk her own cow. Ev.
cry day she had missed Mr. Hume
well, and when night came and the
wind moaned and the rain fell and the
shingles blew off the roof she wept
and wished it were all over
At length Professor Doty arrived In
the village. Not only that. but he ar
rived next door, He was a professor
of natural history in a college, and he
came to the village for his vacation.
He was a man of sixty, tall and re-
served and digni1ed. He gave every
one feeling of awe. Mr.. Hunnewell,
on the contrary, had been short and
fat and jolly, and people used to poke
him in the ribs and joke with him. 1t
was probably the contrast that caused
the widow to fall in love at first sight.
She leaned over the fence and intro
duced herself. and he approached and
talked to her. He had found tree
toad hidden in the bark of a locust
tree, and he was glad to talk to some
one about his find.
While the professor lectured the wild
ow fell deeper in love and kept ex-
claiming: do tell"' and ''Oh, my soul!'
She was an interested listener. She
said she'd give anything to learn all
about toads and bugs and grasshoppers
and clans, and the professor was a
bit flattered. If the woman next door
had been a nice, loving woman she
would have invited the widow over to
make further acquaintance, but she
was q different person. She said that
widows had too much rope as it was
and that Mrs. Hunnewell was always
out Of tea and coffee when neighbor
wanted to borrow. And the professor
wasn't to be caught sight of so often
either.
However, when Providence gets Its
machinery once started there are gen.
orally results. One night when the
wind didn't moan and the shingles
didn't rattle, but when it was moon
light and calm instead, the widow was
awakened from her sleep by bad
dream. She thought herself surround
ed by potato bugs and fighting for her
life. The dream made such an i'm
preston that she got out Of bed and
looked out of the window. There was
the explanation before her eyes. The
professor had climbed the fence and
was in her yard and down on hands
and knees in the grass. He had on so
few clothes that it was easy to guess
he had risen from his bed to look for
crickets. Not a word did the widow
say. She just got into bed and did
some thinking. That thinking resulted
In her sending for the village constable
next day and saying to him:
Mr.. Richards, if widow living all
alone should have reason to believe
that her house was about to be broken
into, what should she do?'
You mean If she saw q man dodg-
ing around in the yard 2"
