Mrs. cambridge, gazing into the fire,
listened without comment, but more
than once Shirley saw her hands clasp
themselves together and thought, too,
that she seemed strangely pale. The
swift and tragic sequel to that meet
ing was the hardest to tell, and as she
ended she put up her hand to her
shoulder, holding it hard. 1T was
horrible!" she said. Yet now she did
not shudder. Strangely enough, the
sense of loathing which had been
surging over her at recurrent inter-
walls ever since that hour in the wood,
had vanished utterly!
She read the newspaper article
aloud and her mother listened with an
expression that puzzled her. When
she finished, both were silent for a
moment, then she asked, You must
have known his father, dearest; didn't
you"
Yes" said Mrs cambridge after a
pause. "l-knew his father"
Shirley said no more, and facing
each other in the candle-glow, across
the spotless damask, they talked, as
with common consent, of other things.
She thought she had never seen her
mother more brilliant. An odd excite
ment was flooding her cheek with red
and she chatted and laughed as she
had not done for years.
But after dinner the gaiety and ef-
fervescence faded quickly and Mrs.
cambridge went early to her room.
She mounted the stair with her arm
thrown about Shirley's plant waist
At her door she kissed her, looking at
her with strange smile. How Gu
rious," she said, as If to herself, that
it should have happened today!'
The reading-lamp had been lighted
on her table. She drew a slim gold
chain from the bosom of her dress
and held to the light little locket-
brooch it carried. 1t was of black en-
amel, with. tiny laurelwreath of
pearls on one side encircling a single
diamond. The other side was of crys-
tai and covered baby's russet-col-
ored curl. In her fingers it opened
and disclosed miniature at which
she looked closely for a moment.
Her eyes turned restlessly about the
room. 1t had been hers as girl, for
Rosewood had been the old Garland
homestead. 1t seemed now all at once
to be full of calling memories of her
youth.
How strange that it should have
been today" 1t had been on Shirley's
lips to question, but the door had
closed, and she went slowly down
stairs. She sat while thinking, but
at length grew restless and began to
walk to and fro across the floor, her
hands clasped behind her head so that
the cool air filled her flowing sleeves.
In the hall she could hear the leisure
ly kon-kon-kon-kon of the tall clock.
The evening outside was exquisitely
still and the metallic monotone was
threaded with the airy fiddle-fiddle of
crickets in the grass and punctuated
with the rain-glad cloap of frog.
Shirley stepped lightly down to the
wet grass. Looking back, she could
see her mothers lighted blind All
around the ground was splotched with
rose-petals, looking in the squares of
light like bloody rain. She SKINNED
the lawn and ran little way down
the lane. A shuffling sound presently
fell on her ear.
rs that you, Unc' Jefferson?" she
called softly.
"Yas'm!" The footsteps came near
or. "Et's me, Miss Shirley" He tit

CHAPTER XVI.
In DeviI-John's Day,

He was still sitting motionless when
there came knock at the door and it
opened to admit the gruff voice of
Doctor Southall. A big form was close
behind him.
Hell Up, see. took the liberty
of bringing Major Bristow."
The master of Damory Court came
forward-limping the least trife-and
shook hands.
+, "Glad to know you, sah," said the
major. ALLOW me to congratulate
you; it's not every one who gets bit
ten by one of those internal mocca
sins that lives to talk about It. You
must be pet Of Providence, or else
you have cast-iron constitution
sah."
Valiant waved his hand toward the
man of medicine, who said, "I reckon
Miss Shirley was the Providence in
the case. She had sense enough To
send for me quick and speed did it."

Another Man
Close to Nature

In our issue of the 18th of April.
we mentioned the experiences Of a
man on the Powell tract, and the
trouble he had getting to his claim
after missing connections with a
neighbor, who had driven to Black
foot to do some trading and meet
him. 1t was Mr.. M. L. Higgins, who
drove the rig, and when Higgins got
back home he had so enjoyed his
stay in Blackfoot, and liked the place
and the people so well, he conceived
the idea of coming again and selling
his potato crop. While he was think
ing it over, the other man came
"hoofing it" to get his team to drive
back to Powell and get that baggage
we spoke about.
Higgins was reasoning in this, way:
1--WE are so far from markets here,
we just swap pumpkins for bacon
and bacon for coffee and coffee for
eggs and eggs for overalls, and we
wear the overalls while we raise
more pumkins, and we get running
in circle like the proverbial dog.
I have a, carload of spuds (jargon
for potatoes), and I am going to
ship them out if I don't get but
expenses, for I can't sell them here
where everybody has spuds to sell. I
am going to start something and call
1t business. It will help somebody"
And he did.
Last Monday morning he was on
the Mackay train going back to Sweet
Sage via Arco by rail, via Howe by
stage, and to his home by shanks
horses He was all smiles and said,
"I've made it."
We knew something about the
spud shipment, and we asked him
for particulars and he said "Well,
I shipped those spuds from my farm
to Blackfoot, I helped to relieve the
financial situation in a degree. The
team freight to Arco is 80 cents, the
car freight to Blackfoot is 13 cents,
! paid 10 cents for the sacks, total
So cents, and sold them for SIS cents.
There were $3.50 pounds in the car,
and I had 2 cents per hundred
pounds for raising, storing, sack
ing, loading and marketing. My
share of the deal was $3.50, and I
had to stay over Saturday and Sun
day in town and of course I spent
that. I enjoyed my stay so much I
wanted to remain until Tuesday, but
I promised myself to just put that
potato money into circulation and
having spent that I am going home
today. Tell your readers like your
town and your people, they are fine
folks, they paid me all the market
would bear for my spuds, they did
all they could to get a railroad built
to McCollum some years ago, it seems
nice to be among them at times, but
/ have to get back home now where
living is cheap and pumkins are
plentiful. have heard grand
father tell about how they settled
Indiana and fattened their hogs on
acorns, cured the pork at the salt
lick with hickory smoke, floated the
bacon to New Oreleans and sold it,
then walked home across four states
possibly to find the wildcat bank
busted when he got there to present
his draft, or if he carried the money
back with him the highwaymen had
to be considered. Do you know feel
closer to grand father now; he seems
more real to me than ever before,
and I can't help thinking what a long
walk it was from New Oreleans to
the Ohio river. Yes the train is
moving, and if you haven't any more
money than I have you had better
jump off,"
