THE EVENING STORY.
AN EVEN BALANCE.
Copyright, 1914, by W. werner.)

1t was Sunday morning in mid
May. Judith Biggs, rising after little
sleep locked out at the dandelion blows
+, cleaning like gold pieces on the bit
| of lawn underneath her window. at the
| blue skies and the joyous sunshine, and
realized that she was fifty years old that
day and had never done anything in her
life that was really worth doing.
Nobody had remembered that it was
her birthday, and nobody would. She
wished she need not have remembered.
To arrive at fifty years is to reach the
jumping off place where you land in old
age. You can bear the prospect il you
have had something in the past worth
recalling and If you have grandchildren
to lead you gently along the future way.
But when you have nothing to look back
upon and nothing to look forward to
and nobody at all who cares deeply about
you. when you are like Judith
Judith was not given to self-pity. For
such a scrap of little old womanhood she
was very brave and cheerful usually. but
that morning she felt almost ill and her
bugbears looked bigger and blacker and
more terrifying by reason of it. The mist
in her eyes dimmed the outdoor lowell
ness. and, signing. she turned away from
the window to the little dull interior of
her housekeeping apartment.
There was one whole room and piece
cooked in the whole room. The piece
held her trunk and her clothes. Mrs.
Halioran. who owned the house and rent
ed to Judith, used all of the second
room save the little piece that was
Judith's and sometimes she encroached on
that. too. There were several small Hal
lorans and all their extra clothing hung
In that room. Judith could hear the
noisy, merry breakfasting below as she
prepared her own tea and toast. She had
little appetite. One never does have
when one eats alone even if there is no
feeling Of illness. She had finished her
own breakfast long before the chairs be-
gan to scrape backward from the table
below
Her place was in order and she was
sitting down to read her Bible when the
listening. She loved the sound Of the bells
and knew them all. She had been hear
ing them all her life. That heavy, brass
note was the Baptist: that high, metallic
! peal the Episcopalian: the Congregational
and the Presbyterian chorused serenely.
But the bell that dominated all was, to
Judith's mind, the Methodist bell. She
scarcely missed a church service. She
had her corner of pew. and when she
crept into it she felt more nearly at home
than anywhere else in the world. When
ever the Methodist bell rang it seemed to
hold a special call for her-a call which
she did not fail to heed.
This morning. however, though the call
was there, as insistent as ever, she had
no inclination to heed. 1t came to her
that with all the happy world going this
bright morning to church, she might well
afford to stay away. Besides, there was
to be new man in the pulpit, a stranger
who had exchanged pulpits with the reg

toward the train.
The engineer closed the throttle In
an effort to stop the train. but in a
