CHAPTER XIV
SHALL sEFFY ENTER AT HIS cuE2

Winter had come again-the fifth
one. They sat together in the great
hearth Of the kitchen, in their character
istic attitude when before a fire. The
hickory logs sputtered ~savagely, but
sent out to them, nevertheless, a CRATE
nj warmth. Their faces and bodies
glowed in the fcrvor Of it. And there
is nothing like this to put n at peace
with all the world.
Sally" said the old man, "this is
nice"
every nice" agreed Sally.
But also there is nothing like this to
send ones memory backward. And
this it was doing for both Of them.
"Eferybody don't hat no such fire
tonight" And the everybody he
thought Of as he sighed was-Seffy.
"No, not everybody" sighed Sally,
propping her head upon his knee.
"Sally-who do you mean by eiery-
body"
Gust one person." admitted Sally,
"the same one you mean"
"Yas," said Sefy's father very softly,
and then they were silent.
"Mebby some's got no homes-and
out freezing tonight" the old man said
presently.
81 hope not" said Sally. "we could
take them in here if we knew where they
are-couldn't we, pappy2'
But that last note was the one which
dams up tears.
"Yas-if we knowed where they air.
my God-if we chust knowed where
they airl Sally, don't you nefer turn
no one away from the door on a cold
cold winters night. You don't know
who it might bel'
"Ill never turn any one away from
the doorP' said Sally with emotion.
That's right, Sally. Some's dead.
I'd rather be dead than hat no homer
"And l." agreed Sally.
"Nor no friends"
Sally nodded.

married."

"Myl but sings is changed" said
the old man. "Efen the sun don't
seem so bright no more"
Eyes, things are changed" said
the girl.

shall not change tell eferysing come
to pass-eferysing-eferysing-"
Then his voice broke. "Yit-yit-

and it seems like it's meier going 10.
It's better sence you came. But yit

come right away.
Sepehniiah p. Baumgartner, Senior"
But the envelop was addressed to
"Mr. $. p. Baumgartner, Jr.,
President Kans. State League,
Kansas"
The post-mistress smiled i~ndulgently
as Sally handed in the letter the next
day.
"Yes," said Sally, fdgeting with her
bonnet. How soon do you think it
will get there?"
The post-mistress reflected.
about a week" she said then.
$50 long?"
But as a matter of fact, she had
thought it would take longer. Kansas
was a vague place in those days, and a
vast distance away.
"Well," said the post-mistress COM
fortably, "mebby not quite so long.
But better not count much on its get
ting there sooner. I'll give it a good
start. I'll put it in the mail bag now"
Thank you" said Sally.
She watched her put it into the bag
and then went dreaming home, and for
all OF the two weeks of waiting she was
very happy dreaming always. Poor
girl-she had made her life so unhappy
that JOY seemed divine. She was sure
Of Seffy. Sometimes she wondered
with a blush and a start II he might
not come himself in answer. She would
not nave been surprised to have him
steal up behind her-that was his way,
she remembered-and call out softly
her name. So she went about almost
on tiptoes so that she might hear him if
he should. 1t was a little difficult to keep
it from the inquisitive old man, who
did not quite understand her sudden
happiness. But she did it.
And, finally, the two weeks were up.
She was quite sure Seffy would not
waste a moment with his answer. And
he might use that mysterious instru-
ment, the telegraph, which she under
stood would not take more than an
hour from Kansas. She supposed his
message, ever if he used the telegraph,
would come to the post-ofice.
The ceremonial of a letter, with
simple people is as much a matter Of
concern as treaty between two nations.
And now, as she dressed herself in her
best clothes to go to the p~ost-ofice, she
felt, somehow, as if she were to be in
Seffy's personal presence, and must be
as immaculate as always. She wond-
cred how he would address herl-for-
getting that his answer must come to
the one whose name she had signed.
She had heard of various most dear
headlines to letters. l am afraid
she blushed at all this. For, as she
looked in the glass, she saw a face so
radiant that she looked again to iden-
tify it.
So, all the more, she dressed herself
with the same care she would have taken
were she going to him instead Of to the
post-office for his letter. She remem-
bered what he had said about her hair,
and she ventured to pull it about her
face, much as it had been that night
in the dark parlor. But at the thought
of that the tears came slowly into her
eyes. She had been very happy that
night. 1t was all the happiness she
had ever known, it seemed now. She
dried her eyes and then she sat at the
table where Seffy had often sat, and
looked again in his broken mirror,
The radiance was quenched. Her face
was pale and thin now. She thought
of it quite as if he were soon to see it.

She liked that. She was sitting on a
low stool at his feet, her elbow on his
knee-her favorite attitude. She
crowded a little closer.
"Pappy," she said presently, '1et
me come and keep your house"
do you mean that?' asked the old
man %joyously.
"Yesl' she said.
"But why? That's hard work for a
gal that's not used to it,"
ooh, maybe | want to be where
Sefy was. For-some day-heW come
back and want to be thereto ask
his pardon"
They were silent for a while and then
the old man said huskily:
you shall. You shall sleep in
Seffy's bed. You shall look in his little
cracked looking-glass. You shall set
in his place at the table. You shall be
my Seffyl And well wait for him to-
gether and well bose asst his pardon
when he comes-whcn he comes"

"You-you-you?" he questioned in
his ecstasy. ken you?-say-do you
sink you ken?'
Eyes" she said very softly. "If you
will let me, / will be all and everything
Seffy was to you. l took him from you.
Let me do my best to replace him. 1t
is for that-that, only, that l have
cared. We shall rent this house and
that will help-for l know you have been
getting poor, too-and-and-if you
will take it-I-I-want to give you
the pasture-feld-for-oh for Seffy's
sake. Will you take it?" For he had
demurred. 'For Seffy's sake-just as
you would take it from him-and as he
would give it to you-if he were ali
here? want to be both son and daugh-
ter to you. Let me be Seffy and my
self tool n is much-but let me try"
But he had caught that little slip Of
the tongue, and was dumb.
They sat silent by the fire for a long
time then. Presently the old man rose
and lifting her he said, with a smile, as
she had never seen on his face:
"Yas-for Seffy's sake-comel Mont"
1t was night. But he led her from
her own house to his. And that night
she slept in Seffy's bed.
One of Sally's duties was the nightly
reading of the Farm journal. And Just
now this paper, edited by a gentleman
who knew nothing about farming-and
by him edited well-was full OF the
great meeting of the National Farmers
League of the United States of America,
which was in session at Omaha.
"By far the most intelligent and in
teresting paper of the session, thus far, "
Sally read one night, "was that on The
Proper Succession Of Crops IN Maryland
by the youthful president of the Kansas
State League, Mr." Sally rose sud-
denly and vanished to the kitchen where
there was a light. .lI
"What was it?" asked the old man
when she returned.

%truthfully, "and went for a drink"
