SAINT Inez ate up the Roth
mullers.
IN eight years they were liv-

Rothmuller making a bust
ness of mending pumps, Mrs.
Rothmuller going out as a
nurse. Their farm was gone,
their mortgages were gone,
their shares in the creamery
and winery were gone. Their
only bank now was the china
teapot which was always at
the mercy of any passing
stranger. 1t was in this adobe
howell that their fourth child
was born, a daughter whom
they named Christina.
Like many a child of pio-
neers, she seemed to be of diff
ferent clay from her parents.
They were heavy featured,
slow moving peasants, thick
ankled, thick wasted, thick
wristed, the human work ami
NAL of Northern Europe,
scarcely altered by six genera
tions in America. Rothnuller
looked like the pictures made
so familiar to us by the Boer
War, shaggy bearded, pow
erful man, with enormous
hands and an expression of
bovine obstinacy. Mrs. Roth
muller, ford and motherly,
beloved expansively in her
cotton dress; and her homely,
kindly face could never have
been pretty even in her youth.
But Christie, as they called
her, was the little beauty of
SAINT Inez. In her the peas
ant blood had lowered into
the daintiest of aristocrats.
