travagance to another.
But prettier than any of the "fotched-
on pretties was the wedding party itself.
Every one came, down from the little
hollows. from Little Stoney across. from
the Gap beyond, by twos and threes. in
merry cavalcades. 1t was in laurel-time.
From the laden bushes the ripe petals
scattered as the guests brushed against
them, till every littlest forest path was
lowered trail that led to Judy's wedding.
Throughout that happy season, only
Nance was unhappy. She didn't want
to marry Dick Hartridge-what was it
that she did want? To be loved and
petted and spoiled herself? Or did she
want, all at once, to he that other kind of
woman that men were more likely to
cherish? There were whole long lonely
days when she tried to fight it out by her
self in the woods. "But even the woods
hain't the same no more she found.
She was restless and sleepless, and torn
by feelings she could neither stifie nor
comprehend. She waited for the days to
go by.
"When she's gone, an Pop an air

stone, now, that even Nance couldn't get
over. All its old comfort and cheer
seemed to have followed Judy across the
Branch to the new cabin. Pop never could
get over the daintiness of its white cur
tains and its white counterpanes. As for
Judy-Judy enshrined in happiness in her
own home was greater marvel than ever.
1t was as if Pop had left home too. He
was always over there.
"Why didn't We come over when we
hollered fer YEP he would inquire of
Nance, after supper and an evening by
Judy's hearth. "She had ev'rything set
out ready an waitin' fer We, an We never
come

would answer turning away to hide her
own sullenness.
FINALLY, one day later on in the sum-
mer, she came to him.
I'm a-feelin' fer change, Pop, she
said. "An' they're writin' fer me to come
down to Harlan Town. hain't never

critter in town. Ye'li like hit jest about

be all right. Ye kin eat over at Judy's.
She'll look after ye."

give we jest four-an' twenty hours to git
plumb sick of it, Popcalled out in farewell.
But the days heightened into weeks,

--s'Fore ever he'd kicked his foot loose
O the stirrup,' Pop chuckled
Judy's shy response was almost as
prompt:
@Perhaps-some day." And then. GAS
soon as ever spring comes" she promised.
IT'S lovely to see spring waking up ON
Big Stoney, but it's lovelier still to
hear it. From every thicket and glade
comes the song of the bobolink, of the
redbird and the wren; and across the
little valleys comes the call of the quail
and the soft murmur of the doves. Above
the purling Of the waters you can hear the
alders stirring, and the first little leaves
Of the willows rustling in the breeze.
But the happiest notes on Big Stoney
that year were the sounds of hammer and
saw as Dick Hartridge and his helpers
built Judy's cabin across the branch.
Dick had wanted to take her over to the
Divide, where his contract held for an
other winter; but Pops generosity and
wiser counsel had prevailed.
aThar hain't no fittin' place fer wo-
man to live over thar, he said. "Take
that fifty-acre tract acrost the branch fer
yourn. Put We up yer cabin an git in
yer crap. Next winter We kin go back an

Finally, one cold, wet day late in
December, draggled and spent as the
day itself, Nance came back. When Pop
came in from the woods, there she was,
huddled in her shawl by the fire.
3Air We feelin' sick, Nance?' he asked.
@Im cold,' she returned briefly, draw
ing closer to the blaze.

upper trail. Those who live up there must
live unto themselves.
1t would be hard to tell which OF the
two was lonelier-Nance, shut up within
herself, repelling every proffered friendli-
ness on Judy's part, or Judy herself The
rose was gone from her cheeks now. Some
times the singing wind would whip
little color back to them, or the heat Of
the fire bring flush; but it soon died
away. But with every mark Of increasing
frailty Nance's hatred grew greater. It
wasn't the hatred of girl any longer, but
the deeper, far more unreasoning hatred
of woman. There was something about
it that seemed to stifle Judy. II she only
thought of it sometimes, she felt as il she
couldn't breathe.
"But no wonder-no wonder she hates

wondering pity.
The days were lonely, but the nights
were lonelier still. Nance, who used to
sleep like an Indian, would lie awake
sometimes from dusk to dawn facing her

NEWSPAPER SUPPORT,

A newspaper, If it has any
brains, conscience and muscle
back of 1t, must continually de
eide between doing it's duty and
lnjuring it's pocket. In any posi-
ton but that of an editor, the
public Is able to separ ate the indi
vldual home from the collective
citizen. But if an editor does not
please them its at his pockets
they aim. Thus it is the news
papers learn who their friends
are. The man who reads the
newspaper and admires it all the
year around, yet gives his bust
ness support to some other con
Germ, whose principles or the &C
tons of It's editor he detests, is
not friend to the former news
paper. Admiration alone will not
run newspaper. There are too
many men who expect an editor to
slave in defence of their pet no
tons and hobbies, advocate
their views against the stronge
opposition and cody Withhold the
business support by which alone
country newspaper can live.
Talk about a paper having a |
public duty to perform, and an
editor having to work for his
principles, is cheap when others
stand back and extend a luke
warm neutrality. The result is
the editor may starve while labor
ing for his principles and the
cause of right and justice, which
they ad mire but do not support.
