Avoid breaking or treading on the

The best way to combat the Hessian

myself wondering If he had not

come to me out of pity? So I hung
back.
He was patient enough with me
too patient for our good-until Allen
Waite began haunting me, and say
ing everywhere I was the beauty of
the country.
It was truth. though all along until
I was full grown I'd been called
almost ugly, tearing tomboy, all
frowsy and freckled, who cared no
more for frocks than to have them
whole and clean, and had rather play
hop-scotch and ride races bareback
work. or make buildings. or darn
stockings.
Aunt Jane had changed all that
she was my mothers sister, and let
me see she cared to have me look
the lady. My stepmother had not
cared-nobody had until Aunt Jane
came. She made me pretty dresses,
and brushed my hair till it was like
spun gold, and took off my freckles
with buttermilk, and kept me in
gloves till my hands were baby soft.
She was to blame for the boys both
loving me. But they never held it
against her-and certainly l don't.
It's right down pitiful to think of a
girl growing up and never knowing
what 1t Is to play the great game.

and John walked with me through
it's shining. He lived little way
of. and came almost every night.
The lane was our refuge. Aunt Jane
had gone away for little while, and
my stepmother never opened the
hest room for anybody short Of the
minister.
She didn't mean to be unkind-it
was only that she loved to know
and hear all anybody said. She
could see us walking the lane length
Ia the moonshine, else she would
never have let me go.
She was all for Allen, thinking SO
much of money as she did. He came

me to marry him the week liter
John proposed. Partly from vanity,
partly to make John prize me more,
let him bangle on after me, telling
him to wait-I didn't know what
would say to him in TIE end.
That wasn't a story-I loved John

SECRETS OF HONEY BUSINESS
Bees VIII Store Just as Much in Old

Bees will store just as much honey
in any kind of an old box, key or de-
