In the Rain.

Shirley stood looking out at the
rain. 1t was falling in no steady
downpour which held forth promise
of ending, but with a gentle constancy
that gave the hills a look of sudden
discomfort and made disconsolate
miry pools by the roadside. The
clouds were not too thick, however, to
let through dismal gray brightness
that shone on the foliage and touched
with glistering lines Of high-light the
draggled tufts Of the soaked blue
grass. Now and then, across the drip
ping fields, fraying skeins of mist wan

hollows where, here and there, cattle

purpOseless invention of needless
tasks. She wanted movement, the
cobwebby mist about her knees, the
wet rain in her face. She ran upstairs
and came down clad in close scarlet
jersey, with leather CATERS and soft
hat.
Emmaline saw her thus accoutered
with disapproval. "Lawdy-mercy,
chile!" she urged; you amt goin'
out? It's rainin' cats en- dawgs!"

dragging on her rain-coat, "and the

up at her mothers window. Since the
night of the ball her own panging self

and sensitive association between
