Juanita Holland smiled as she shook
her head and replied: I'm a woman,
and don't use tobacco
The hell We donti" The boy
paused, then added scornfully. My
nanny chaws and smokes, too-but
she don't straddle no boss"
After that administration of rebuke
he deigned once more to recognize
the missionary's insistent queries,
though he did so with laconic impa-
thence.
Il tell ye Fletch hain't hyar." The
boy started disgustedly away, but
paused in passing to jerk his head
toward the house and added: "Ye

The travellers raised their eyes and
saw a second figure standing with
hands on hips staring at them from
the distance 1t was the sloyenly fig
ure of a woman. clad in a colorless
and shapeless skirt and an equally
shapeless jacket. which hung unbelted
about her thick waist AS she came
slowly forward the girl began to take
in other details The woman was
barefooted and walked with a sham
bling gait which made Juanita think
or bears pacing their barred inclos-
ures in zoo. Her face was hard and
unsmiling. and the wrinkles about her
eyes were those of anxious and lean
years. but the eyes themselves were
not unkind. Her lips were tight
clamped on the stem of clay pipe.

For a moment there was silence,
and the quiet voice commenced. iron
ically: My God. them fellers lay
a heap of deviltry up against Bad
Anse, don't they?"
After a moment of silence, through
which Juanita Holland was painfully
conscious of the quick beat of her own
heart. she heard again the unexcited
voice of the tall stranger. Now it was
the capable tones of general officer
giving commands.

to her breast and stayed there The
young man with the shrin voice talked

CHAPTER II.

The girl rose and made her way
unsteadily to the back door and let
herself in She threw herself on the
bed and lay there, rapidly thinking 1t
was obvious that her absence had not
been commented upon. A few min
utes later she heard the voice of Mrs
McNash singing out: You folks kin
all come in an eat" and found her
self, outwardly calm, making her way
around to the shed addition which
served jointly as kitchen and dining
room.
When she entered the place Fletch
McNash was already seated, and
sagged over his plate with the stupid
inertia of dulled senses
Juanita found herself unaccount-
ably eager to see the tall stranger
whose voice had treasured her: who
had appeared first as the Samaritan

There has been considerable COM
ment in regard to the closing of the
public library In the town building
Friday for lack OF heat. This action,
however, 10 by no means unprecedented
and the same course has been taken at
other times In the past. There is no
cellar under the north end of the town
building. and the voters at special
town meeting held short time ago
appropriated $1,000 for the purpose of
having one constructed. ON petition,
the matter of resembling this vote will
be acted upon at the coming town
meeting, as there are many who feel
that the present heating system will
do the work. IL properly taken care Of,
Whether or not they are correct in
this view, 1t is a fact with which any
patron Of the library who is fair
minded will agree. that the rooms
used for that purpose are at times al
together too cold. Mrs. Risglenan and
her assistant, Miss Chamberlain, have
worked hard for the success of the in
stitution. and have brought the library
to high point of effectiveness, and
they are compelled to do work, most OF
which is stationary, such as writing, In
rooms poorly heated and ventilated
Patrons of the library who wish to
read or do research work there run
the risk or Illness in so doing.
