always smoked a mixture of dried
sweet fern as being cheaper than to-

watched his youngest born plowing
down the hill through the deep snow.
while the more obedient Waitstill
moved about the room setting supper
on the table
Conversation was not the deacon's
forte. but it seemed proper for soma
one to break the ice that seemed sud-
denly to be very thick in the immedi-
ate vicinity.

This was a most astoundingly gener-

seemed to be drawn from him by
kind OF instinct that he was not stand

but Mark and Ellen understood. Then
the very next day Marks father sent
him up to Bridgton on business. and
h. had to go TO Allentown first to re-
/ turn a friends horse, so he couldn't
break the news TO father at once. as
he intended"
Does a New Hampshire marriage
/ hold good in Maine?" asked Waitstill,
still intent on the bare facts at the
bottom OF the romance.
Well of course" stammered Patty,
somewhat confused. Maine has her
own way of doing things and wouldn't
be likely 10 fancy New Hampshire's.
But nothing can make il wicked or
anything but according TO law.
Besides. Mark considered all the diff
fculties. He is wonderfully clever,
and he has a clerkship In a Ports
mouth law Office waiting for him, and
that's where we are going to live, in
New Hampshire, where we were mar

soon and stay months and months with
us"
when is Mark coming back to ar
range all this?''
Late tonight or early tomorrow

Where did you go after you were

Where did I go?" echoed Patty in n
childish burst of tears. Where could
go? 1t took all day to be married
all day long. working and driving hard
from sunrise TO 7 o'clock in the even

Mark dropped me, and l walked up
home in the dark and went TO bed

still.
Patty's tears flowed faster at the
first sound of sympathy in Waitstill's
voice. for self pity is very enfeehling

"She'H not take anything from my
house. It's her husbands business to

all with n child's sense of helpless
