About ten years ago a young
lady living at Newport was hold
ing a needle between her lips
while pinning a dress she wa
lifting to her mother. She
coughed and swallowed the
needle. 1t gave her little pain
and the physician who was
called failed to locate the needle
SO that an operation for it's re-
moval was unnecessary A few
days ago she felt a prickly SEN
sation just under and to the
right Of her shoulder blade.
Upon examination it was found
that she had been bitten by a
flea.

grass in some yards was beginning t

dress she needed in order to get linen
towels. They were a little yellow now,
for it had been seven years since she
finished hemming them and put them
away.
Lower and lower she dropped over the
treasure chest, until her head rested
upon it's edge. The sharp wood cut her
forehead, but she did not feel it. Her
tears fell and her heart seemed to be
bursting with pain and humiliation.
When Mabel Hawkins. happy bride
to-be, had asked Rachel when she was
going to be married she had only done
what somebody else was doing every
day. Everybody was wondering and ask
ing why she and Alec did not marry.
Alec had a good job: he could afford to
keep wife. He was saving money He
had. too. reached an age when man is
supposed to want home. 1t all seemed
very strange to the neighbors. who had
brought daughters up to womanhood and
married them since Rachel had been en-
gagged.
1t was beginning to be almost more
than she could bear. Doubt troubled her.
The contents of her dover chest seemed
suddenly to have become grave clothes.
There was very little difference between
them and those things her mother had
left behind her when she died. 1t came
to her strangely that she could not bear
the sight or smell of these linen things.
And when she rose and shut down the
lid she felt that there was no use In her
making a comfort like Mabel's.
She had removed the traces or tears
when her father came home. He was a
small, stopped man. He washed at the
sink, comoed his fine white beard and

His tired eyes looked away into the dis

ing Her brother Dan was married and
had a ranch out In Kansas. and he was
anxious to have his father come out and
live with him. For seven years there
had been an agreement that as soon as
Rachel married her father should go out
to Dams. The old man looked forward
to this with childish eagerness. He had
lived on ranch in his boyhood days and
he longed to be ont of the shop in the
open air again. Rachel had hidden hin,

But now it was the seventh spring and

Rachel was gazing at him with strange
intensity. He looked feeble. The shor
was no place for an old man. He ought
to be with Dan through all the lovely
days coming. He must be with Dan. Her
lips set in stern resolve. Seven years
