From the woods came the ting

sun.warmed MOSES and cool-shaded
depths. A woodpecker accentuated
the silence in sharply tapped meas

sun-f1ecked road.
Miss Stiles kicked her heels against
the fence she was perched on and in
uncomfortable abandon threw back
her head, pursed her lips and poured
forth lifting, whistling refrain OF her
long ago school days.

another whistle chimed in, and she
paused, the edges of her soul shell
drawing together instinctively, but
smile fingered on her lips. Plaintive-

Creep and let no more be said
VAN thy onset, All stand fast.
Thou thyself must break at last
Let the long contention cease

Let them have II how they VIII
Thou art tired; best be still.

Find thy body by the wall!

Miss Ingle ceased clicking the type

in her chair to rest the muscles of her
shoulders. The work of the Midland

very heavy for one stenographer. The
grind grew more wearisome and nerve

"Oh. not much. 1t is poor, very

and turned to other work
The junior brought the letter to the
stenographer and began to dictate:

She went down, wondering. AS she
