manager. Carroll knew that the big barn to the right
of the house would be filled with the best quality of
tobacco undergoing the process of curing.
He kept straight on toward the light opened the gate

front door. He could in the moonlight that nothing

CARROLL'S footballs rang firmly on the bricks and
again on the portico, he reached the front door;
but he heard stir inside He knocked once twice,
thrice, without answer, and he wondered. He could
see from the portco that the light in the window
still burning and someone must be at home He turned
the doOrknOb and pushed. The door open easily
that he almost fell inside He still in the dark but
he heard srangled cry. Then he Strengthened himself
up quickly and stood listening Perhaps it was his old
Philippine habit that made his finger stray down to the
trigger of his rifle.

1t was the voice of the WdOW-C Cousin Marv he had
always called her-and his eyes grew more used to
the darkness he her standing before him. her hands
clasped in entreaty her eyes full of appeal He stood
singular greeting He did not know that the broad
brm of his SLOUGH hat almost hid his face and that in
height and size he and Jim Haswell were almost

"Why, Cousin Mary" he exclaimed OTIS not Jim

Philippines! I'm my way home, and as was passing
just dropped in minute to you
"Tom! Toni she exclaimed incredulousy, and then
she added with belief why, it Tom, Tom Carroand
he's come back from the Philippines" Suddenly she
threw her round his neck and kissed him. Carroll
saw that it was partly gladness and partly nervous
hysteria.

She took sheet of paper from her dress and handed
it to him. He held it toward the light and read:

The woman stared at him. She had known Tom

this house on this night
Carroll stared at her. Clearly it was hysteria.
He thought that for some reason she might be
afraid of him. and he rose from his chair in order
to go nearer and tell her that he was the same
old Tom. But she cried in tone full of anxiety:
Keep back! Don't get in front of the lighted
window! Stay in the dark"
Her voice was so imperative that he stepped
back again. Yet his curiosity was aroused to
the highest pitch. Widow Blake was woman
of courage and strong mind; but he felt that
he had walked suddenly into something ex-
traordinary. He meant to know what it was.
cousin Mary he said calmly, knowing the
power of the human voice over others, @you are
in great fear of somebody or something. What
is it? And what about the lighted candle in
the window? Why should l keep away from

"Maybe not persisted Carroll Il don't

seven medals for sharpshooting. / held off

three years that 1 don't think much of it any
more. Now if have to do it to help you, I'm
going to take another look at that same face.
You've got to tell me what it is. because I'm
not going out of this house until you dol"
HIS tone was that of one who had made up his
mind, and it was so firm and strong that
a current of courage seemed to flow from him
to her.

He nodded to Thompson, and, shouldering his rifle,
set upon his journey The walk of fifteen miles in
the cool air the clean mountains nothing to
one who had fought his way for months through the
foul mud and miasma of the tropical East.
A TALL, sun Drowned, lean young man. he walked
briskly on for long time, keeping to the main
road. He met farmer riding in for his mail boy
taking wheat to mill, and woman carrying eggs to
market. He knew all three and greeted them warmly.
The pulse in his throat insisted on eaping up every
time he familiar face How friendly the noun
tans looked! Everything firm strong and Cleanl
He in his own land and among his people, His
happiness would have been complete had it not been
for the old pain that stabbed now and then like needle
at his heart.
The sun now hung low the western mountains,

Carroll Presently he left the road and followed little
path that led higher among the hills. He could
mile or two this way The twilight now faded suddenly,
and full night Yet it not dark: merely a sort
of luminous dusk in which the world tinted family with
silver, seemed very beautiful. He increased his step,
and walked on at swinging easy pace, feeling no
WEAKNESS whatever He had learned the other side
of the globe how to march. Often it had seemed him
that he doomed to spend his whole life in marching.
The night deepened and the moon rode high The
great stars wheeled and danced in sky of silky blue,
and Carroll moved swiftly on, youthful figure fine
and strong the single human note in this pleasant
wilderness. Afterward he light his right and

descended the slope, and passed through the tobacco
fields toward the house.

tobacco grew heavy here. Carroll had the plants

"OM CARROLL did not get off the train TN
til it reached the end of the little branch

til it reached the end Of the little branch
road at Edgar, tiny village in nook of
the mountains. But Edgar more important
than it looked. Many narrow but fertile valleys
cut their way through the ridges, and in the
soft soil along the creeks thrifty farmers raised
much good tobacco, for which men in the cities
were willing to pay big prices. Otherwise the
country was not fertile. The mountains, low but
steep, were covered with a second growth of
trees, save where the ak of the lumberman had
made ragged cash, or the forest fire had left
bare brown trail The houses were hidden away
in the coves and to the unseeing eye here was
only the wilderness.
But the great pulse in Tom CAROLS throat
leaped so hard that it caused him actual physical
pain. This was the country in which he was
born! Here was home! He knew Edgar, and
the cause of its existence the hogsheads of
tobacco hauled in day after day from the fertile
hollows in the hills.
Carroll drew mighty breath Nothing was
changed. He might have been returning from
days trip, instead of three years on the other
side of the world among the steaming jungles of
the Philippines, fighting bandits and head
hunters. All the while the feeling that he was
coming home was gaining in volume and in
tenSity, and now that he had reached the last
station he had heart full of tenderness for
everything.
he was discharged he had bought the fine, high
powered army rifle that he had used in many an
obscure and forgotten, but none the less des-
perate, skirmsh. 1t attracted little attention,
many men carried rifles in the mountains The
cartridge belt round his waist might have made
comment; but it was hidden by his coat. He
wore the belt merely as convenient way to
carry it.
Carroll walked across the track and offered
his hand to Thompson, the saturnine agent.
Thompson recognized him at once, although he
had returned with face many shades darker

brought us into closer touch with other
peoples to the strengthening of the
bonds of fellowship and good will that
link US to our comrades in the univer-
sal brotherhood of nations. Strong IN
the sense of our own right and inspired
by as strong sense OF the rights OF
others, we live in peace and harmony
with the world. Rich in the priceless
possession and abundant resources,
wherewith the unstinted bounty of God
has endowed US. we are unselhshly glad
when other peoples pass onward to pros
perity and peace, that the great priv
leges we enjoy may continue and that
each coming year may see our country
