She appreciated this kindness, and
through the longest task of washing
milkpans there rose a rainbow or
promise with her variegated work.
The family felt quite proud of Aunt
Samantha. Minister Greasy and his
wife has said it was as fine piece of
work as they had ever seen.
One day some strangers from the
next town drove up and asked il they
could inspect the wonderful quilt
which they had heard of. Samantha's
quilt became one of the town sights.
The Blackwells saw to it that their
aunt was better dressed than she had
ever been before and one of the girls
made her a pretty cap to wear on her
thin white hair.
A year passed and a quarter of the
quilt was finished. A second year
passed and it was half done. The third
year. Samantha lay i'll with pneumo-
MIA. For weeks she lay overcome with
terror lest she would die before her
work was completed. The fourth year
came. One could see the grandeur of
the whole design. And-in September
of the fifth year Samantha quilted the
last stitches in her creation.

ing bedquilts. During years OF devo-
ton to one art she had accumulated a
store of quilting patterns.
She never knew how her great idea
came to her.
Even when she finished drawing the
design, she gazed at it in wonder, not
daring to believe it was her own handi-
work. Finally she said to herself
that she would make just one square,
just to see how it would look.
Accustomed to the most complete
dependence on her brother and his
wife, she dared not do even this with
out first asking permission.
With heart full of hope, she ap-
preached the mistress of the house.
Sophia listened to her sister-in-law' S
petition.

were perhaps dozen houses. This
was Starbird City. Monica stood on
the platform staring about her at the
dark, up-rearing mountains, the
tumultuous creek pounding between
the rocks and this dreary bit of near
civilization spawned by necessity. A
road followed the creek and disappear
ed among the pines. That road she
knew led to TRAVIS cabin. But where
was Trav? She, however, felt no sink
ing of heart at his absence. He was
probably late. She decided to start in
hope of meeting him before she had
gone far.
You can't miss my cabin" he had
written, "it being the first, last, and
only one on Upper Greek trail"
Monica left her luggage with the
station agent, who indicated his will
ingness to look after it by nod of the
head. She had at first thought him
dumb, but finally decided that he was
merely shy. Obviously women travel
ers did not often alight upon that plat

county fair!"
The family agreed and one of the
boys was sent to the house of neigh
Dor who was chairman of the commit
tee for the village.
Samantha felt a pang of separation
as the bulky package was carried out
of the house.
One of the neighbors, who took the
long journey to the fair, reported that
the quilt was hung in place of honor
in glass case in Agricultural Hall.
But that meant little to Samantha, for
she felt absolutely lost without her
work.
The family noticed the old woman's
depression, and one day Sophia spoke
softly and kindly:
"You feel lost without your quilt.

Mr.. Blackwell made no comment,
but a few days later announced that
Thomas Wood, a neighbor, was going
to drive Samantha to the fair and
bring her back agaia.
You don't mean it," she exclaimed.
Eyes, I mean it." he replied.
The next morning. when the buggy
drove up to the door. they all stood to-
gether and waved good-by to her as
she drove out of the yard.
On her return that evening she was
so tired and stiff that her brother had
to lift her out OF the buggy. But her
lips were set in . blissful smile.
She drew long breath. ''It was
just perfect" she said. You sec, /

The entire Blackwell family were
pleased. Aunt Samantha sat by the

sat, staring into the fire, and upon her
tired old face was the look of supreme
content OF an artist who has realized
his ideal.

of saving against the dread rainy

thing Monica had believed possible.
with red in her cheeks and light in
her eyes Monica had doubted the doc

all. And all because she had a sore
spot over one collar bone.
Where should she go? A letter from
her brother. little more intimate than
usual, inclosing a worn 800 bill, his
first contribution, set her thinking.
Why not go to him? She told the Coo
tor and he stimulated her resolve.
Colorado was the place of all places.
Among the pines she would recover
her health.
So Monica wrote to Trav and Trav
wrote back more or less lucid direc-
tions how she was to reach him. Aft
er that, nothing remained but pack
needfuls and depart.
Now she was nearing the end of her
journey. At o'clock that afternoon

His eyes were quickly turned to her.
They caught and held hers and would
not let them go.

so to her now Wicked, that was the
word.
