her regret in vain-ketch her while
she's at it"
So, Seffy went up the hill again
not that night-whieh was a mistake
he could not quite bring himself to
that-but the next. And he had wash
ed the grease out of his hair and left
the hat at home as well as the butter
he was very handsome fellow, worth
at least dozen of his rival.
But Sally, watching for this very
thing, saw him coming and hardened
her heart, as Pharaoh did In the face
of proffered felicity, and, by q good
deal of forcible instruction, she sue
ceeded in getting the little maid to say
that she was not at home. The maids
untutored face showed Seffy that she
was not telling the truth, however, and
she was not sorry for it. She would
never have treated Seffy sol
Seffy shifted his hat from one hand
to the other and then said:
Tell her-ten her-lDhen she comes
home-that Pm sorry" He did not
exactly know what he was sorry for,
and so said good night and went.
"He knowed you IOGs at homel"
reproached the little maid. "He was
sorry for you"
"What did he say?" demanded Sally
savagely
"TO tell you that he was sorry
when you got home"
when / got home? Then I better
stay away sxP %s Tn That's tbo what h;1, he ne
But the maid understood Seffy's rustic
chivalry and she did not laugh with
her mistress.
Yes, Sally went back to her window
and again watched, hoping Seffy would
look back. She was not quite sure what
she would do. Perhaps she would get
angry-perhaps-bu if he would only
lookl He did not, and Sally understood
that he had accepted his congo as he
had given it. And quite as the old man
had said, she did regret, now, and she
had regretted that other night. But
there was more penanee than he had
said or thought. Yet-there was the
Pressed temperl And it did not await
the subsistence of the sorrow, but rose
at once What business had he tamely
to accept the situation?
I am satisfied that there is some
connection between red hair and tenn
per. And l am, further, satisfied that
there is even more between the assO-
ciated ideas of red hair, temper and
regret. But difficulty is to deter
mine just where each stands. Logically,
the regret ought to come last. But,
to Sally, and IN this case, 1t came in
the middle For, she began and she
ended without it, but she distinctly
remembered having had it. Therefore,
it must have been IN the middle
And Sam administered Seffy's coup
de graceI Perhaps it was accidental.
But think it must have been nothing
less than spying and then deviish inven-
tion-it was so entirely apropos.
As Seffy descended the Hill of De

house stood, Sam assembled it. singing,
as he passed Seffy:
Napoleon, with a thousand men,
Marched up the hill and down again. d"
From bis own darkness, Seffy saw
golden shaft of light burst from the
door at the top of the Hill of Delight
and, in it, he saw Sam mount to where
was his hearts desire

the radiance of the moon in Seffy's
wan face, the very Joy of the starry
heavens in that of the girl must tell
you what their talk was of. And l
beg you again to remember that these
small things, which you despise, were
all they had there and then. l have
wondered whether the wantOn sacrifice
of child's toy when he is three Is not
as dreadful as the sacrifice of his love
when he is twenty. Do you know?
"Seffy," said Sally, with his hand
held so close under her beating heart
that it registered each avid Pulsation,
g 1 am most to blame and you have
too, and 1 hope you won't forgive your
self too soon"
'For why?" queried the dull Seffy,
with attention only for that wildly
beating thing-for, alas, that was his
bane as hers was something else-for-
getting future perils in present happi-
"Then you'll fix it before you dol"
Fix what?" asked the astOnished
"You let yourself be fooled. And
that raises my temper more than any
thing else. l don't want no beau that
every one laughs at. You got to have
more backbone When I am mean to
you-I can't help it when my temper's
up-and it's hard to get 1t down,
mighty hard, when it's up-when l
am mean to you-eurse mel"
Seffy stared aghast. He would as
soon have heaped maledictiOns upon
the head of an archangell
"Or hit mel"
Another stare-another conviction
of the utter impossibility of such a
thingi
"YesI With club A Hat-ironl A
potato-masherl A pokeri"
Seffy could laugh now. She was
becoming absurd. Had he only known
that she-poor futile woman-Was
trying to secure In advance their happi-
ness in the turmoil which she knew
"YesI That is the way for such as
mel The only wayl And Pm used to

one time or another, used all these
things on me. 1 need the snafflel
You need the whipi"
And she laughed a little herself and
that was Seffy's excuse for joining her.
You have no temper and I have a
thousand times too much You can
see how that viii work. And, Seffy,
you got a bad reputation about here
now, and l wouldn't ike you to have
it always. So you must brace up and
do things to make the people like you
again. l want you to be able to face
any one at the store-and do 1t IN

The dull Seffy answered:
But what can I dor"
The whole case seemed quite hopeless

thing. Ask your pappy. Whatever 1t Is,
l will help you. You know 1t makes

He passed on, for he was a meTcIful
old man, and Sally hurried away to
the Poison-Spring. And Old Baum
gartner laughed through his gnarled
hands behind the cover of the next
turn In the road, though even to him
laughter was no more gay, as of yore.
Seffy was there, on his back, with
his hands under his head, staring up at
the moon. He looked pitifully alone.
A great lump surged in Sally's throat,
and if she had obeyed only her heart
she would have flung her arms around
him But another of those qualities
which go with red hair, pride, prevented
this. She coughed a little and Seffy
flew around
"I-was just taking a walk" she
said.
"Yes," said Seffy humbly.
The Poison-Spring is-On my prop

He looked gaunt as he stood on his
feet In the moonlight.

really unhappy girl, her head quite

was shambling off. The last words
came from a distance. Good night"
He did not know that Sally was fol-
lowing him. When she spoke it was
ain hal u
denly as to catch the pain on her face.
But he was dull, Seffy.
"Seffy," she said, close upon him,
"Seffy, eOas at home"
Seffy said nothing.
"Seffy-I am unhappy-and fool"
Still Seffy did not move nor speak.
Don't you care that am unhappy"
Still silence.
And don't you never forgive no
one?"
At the end was sob.
Ahi Seffy could not harbor Ill against
a dog that had bit him. And Sally
sobbed. The hands he had kissed
before, he kissed again-in that fashion,
you viii remember, which must have

"you know l got an awful temper?"

Joy leaped back into her life and it
was very sweet. And would he? He

for the very gentleness and sweetness
