bring the wheelbarrow, can't we, and
pick up the litter we've made?"
Il can, at any rate, while you wade"
said 1.
She shot a little look up into my
face. II guess I'll help" she smiled.
In the low afternoon light we turned
about and retraced our steps. There
was but fringe Of pines along the
southern wall, and as they were forty
year-old trees here the view both back
to the house and over the wall into the
next pasture was airy and open. Then
the path led through a corner of the
tamarack swamp where in wet weather
l should have to put down some planks.
and where the cattails grew breast
high on either side. Then it entered
the thick pine grove where a great
many of the trees were evidently not
more than fifteen or twenty years old
and grew very close. The sunlight was
shut out, save for daggers of blue be-
tween the trunks toward the west The
air seemed hushed, as if twilight were
already brooding here. The little brook
rippled softly.
AS we came to the first crossing,
pointed to the pool, already dark with
shadow, and said, 1T was wrong of
me to play Action to your Diana, but
l am not ashamed nor sorry. You were
very charming in the dappled light,
and you were doing a natural thing,
and in among these little pines, per-
haps, two friends may be two friends,
though they are man and woman"
She did not reply at once, but stood
beside me looking at the dark pool and
apparently listening to the whisper of
the running water against the stepping
stones. Finally she said with little
laugh, 81 have always thought that per-
haps Diana was unduly severe. Come,
we must be moving on"
Once more we entered the pines, fol-
lowing the new path over the brook
again to the spot where we first had
met. There l touched her hand. LET
us wait for the thrush here" l whis-
pered.
1 could see her glimmering face
lifted to mine. "Why here?" she asked.
Because it was here we first heard

replied.

we must finish the arch.''
81 guess we won't do any more

just the hint of her twinkle coming
back. I'm so unused TO taking or

drop down into our faces. There were
only five arches more to build.

roses hurried along" said I.
We walked back toward the house
and looked over the lawn, past the sun
dial, and saw the farm through the
trelIis, and beyond the farm the trees
at the edge of my clearing, and then a
distant roof or two, and the far hills.
The apple blossoms were fragrant in
the orchard. The persistent song spar
rows were singing. The shadow of
the dial post stretched far out toward
the east.

She darted a look at me, laughed
with heightened color, and herself
added, with a glance at her wrist
watch, "and nice dinner!'
l brought back some of my manu-
scripts after dinner, in case the room
should be completed before supper
time. We attacked it again with en-
thusiasm, hers being no less, appar-
emily. than mine, for it was indeed
wonderful to see the place emerge
from baroness into the most alluring
charm as the books filled the shelves,
as my two Morris chairs were placed
before the fires, as my three or four
treasured rugs were unrolled on the
rather uneven but charmingly old floor
which just fitted the old, rugged
hearthstones, and finally as the two
bright Hiroshiges were placed in the
center of the two white wood panels
over the fireplaces, and the other pic
lures hung over the bookcases.

After dinner she approved the sun
dial beds with mock-judicial gravity
and then she went at the trellis, work
ing with a kind of impersonal nervous
intensity that troubled me, l didn't
quite know why. She said, with a
brief laugh, it was because she had
suggested the structure, and she could
never rest till any job she had under
taken was completed.

were made to save the house but the
in-efiiciency Of the fire-fghting system
here made it impossible to put even q
check to the spread Of the flames and
the entire house was quickly consumed
with considerable portion Of the con-
tents. Fire plugs in the neighborhood
could not be unscrewed, owing to the
rusty condition from lack Of use and
the worn condition of the screw heads.
The city authorities should remedy
these things at the earliest possible
date to the end that other fires may be
prevented. The loss was only parti-
ally covered by insurance.

well it is q piece Of swamp land, not
fit for anything" and hence the board
was urged to place very low tax valu-
alton on it. This is the more argument
in favor of these lands. We did not
realize how many tracts of worthless
swamp lands were in this county until
the experiences Of the past few days.
These lands could be made pro-
ductive and valuable BY digging suit
able drainage canals to take off the
surplus water and they would then be
far the most valuable lands in Fayette
county. The Falcon is now a stronger
advocate of drainage than ever before
and we want to see canals in both Loo
sahatchie and Wolf river bottoms that
will redeem these numerous tracts Of
worthless swamp lands and make them
the best producing lands In the county.
