certain element of romance about it.
1t was the next day, and Rhoda and
her little sister were in the barn gath
ering eggs from the nest, when there
was rustic in the haymow overhead.
Mercy me-" breathed Rhoda, as
there followed human groan. "Some
one Is up there. Run and tell mother,
Gertrude"
hhoda's big brother, Tom, appeared
with Mrs. Ford. The others timidIy
followed, as Tom assembled the stairs.
Lying on the hay was a tossing, fe-
vered form. From Jed's description
Rhoda at once recognized the mystcri-
Gus stranger and comprehended the
situation.
They were good, heartsome folks, the
Fords. At a glance they knew the
trespaSser was no tramp
There's something for us to do here,
MOTHER" declared Tom, and an hour
later the sufferer was lying on com

1t was three days before the stran-

home from school one afternoon to
find their guest dressed and clean

both hands extended, us if they were
old friends or relatives.
"And this is Miss Rhoda, l know I"
he exclaimed. MY dear, am the
uncle of the young man for whom you
and your blessed family have done so
much" and he bubbled over with
gratitude and commentator in the
story he told Of an independent neph-
ew seeking to find his fortune in the
cold outside world and failing utterly.
"And l was away from home and
didn't get Gerald's letter until yester-
day." explained the old man. "Ah!

"This is the road where you cleaned
the snow last winter" reminded
Rhoda, six months later, as her now
frequent visitor, Gerald Wayne, and
she strolled toward the schoolhouse.
You We're very hungry those days,
weren't you, Mr.. Wagner
Il have been hungry ever SINCE" de-
clared Gerald.
She regarded him wonderingly.
Hungry for your Lowell" he ex-
planned, and new sweet delight was
singing in the happy heart of his fair
companion.
