Suddenly she leaned forward, looking
intently at the cage. "But what do you

"I don't know" returned Mrs Peters;

But after she said it she reached over
and swung the broken door. Both women
watched it as if somehow held by it.
"You didn't know-her?" Mrs. Hale
asked, gentler note in her voice.
"Not till they brought her yesterday"
said the sheriff's wife.
"She-come to think of it, she was
kind of like bird herself. Real sweet
and pretty, but kind of timid and-fut-

sewing, but now it dropped in her lap,
and she murmured in different voice:

"Well, you mustn't reproach your
self, counseled Mrs. Peters. Somehow,
we just don't see how it is with other
folks till-something comes up"
"Not having children makes less work"
mused Mrs. Hale, after silence, "but it
makes quiet house-and Wright out to
work all day-and no company when he
did come in. Did you know John Wright,
Mrs. Peters?'

"No; she didn't have cat. She's got
that feeling some people have about cats
being afraid of them. When they
brought her to our house yesterday, my
cat got in the room, and she was real
upset and asked me to take it out"
"My sister Bessie was like that,
laughed Mrs. Hale.
The sheriff's wife did not reply. The
silence made Mrs. Hale turn round. Mrs.
Peters was examining the bird-cage
Look at this door," she said slowly.
"It's broke. One hinge has been pulled

Mrs. Hale came nearer.
Looks as if some one must have been
rough with it,"
Again their eyes met-startling, ques-
tioning, apprehensive. For a moment
neither spoke nor stirred. Then Mrs.
Hale, turning away, said brusquely:
"If they're going to find any evidence,

to laugh about.
"Of course they've got awful important
things on their minds, said the sheriff's
wife apologetically.
They returned to an inspection of the
blocks for the quilt. Mrs. Hale was
looking at the fine, even sewing, and pre-
occupied with thoughts of the woman
who had done that sewing, when she
heard the sheriff's wife say, in queer
tone:
"Why, look at this one.
She turned to take the block held out
to her.
"The sewing" said Mrs. Peters, in a
troubled way. "All the rest of them have
been so nice and even-but-this one.
Why, it looks as if she didn't know what
she was about!"
Their eyes met-something flashed to
> life, passed between them; then, as if
with an effort, they seemed to pull away
from each other. A moment Mrs. Hale
sat there, her hands folded over that sew
ing which was so unlike all the rest of the
sewing. Then she had pulled knot and
drawn the threads.
"Oh, what are you doing, Mrs. Hale?
asked the sheriff's wife, startled.
Just pulling out stitch or two that's
not sewed very good,' said Mrs. Hale
mildly.
Il don't think we ought to touch
things" Mrs. Peters said, little help
lessly.
"Ill just finish up this end" answered
Mrs. Hale, still in that mild, matter-of-
fact fashion.
She threaded needle and started to
replace bad sewing with good. For
little while she sewed in silence. Then,
in that thin, timid voice, she heard:
Mrs. Hale!"
"Yes, Mrs Peters,
What do you suppose she was So

"Oh, don't know, said Mrs. Hale, as

to spend much time on. "I don't know

to have frightened up. Her eyes had that
look of peering into something. But next
moment she moved, and said in her thin,
indecisive way:
"Well, | Imust get these clothes wrapped.

Mrs. Hale, after glance around.
ONE piece of the crazy sewing remained
unrpped Mrs. Peters back turned,
Martha Hale now scrutinized that piece,
compared it with the dainty, accurate
sewing of the other blocks. The differ
ence was startling. Holding this block
made her feel queer, as if the distracted
thoughts of the woman who had per-
haps turned to it to try and quiet herself
were communicating themselves to her.

she have a bird, Mrs. Hale?"

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Pres't
Wilson's inaugural address was as
follows:
My Fellow Citizens: The four
years which have elapsed since last
stood i'm this place have been
crowded with counsel and action Of
the most vital interest and conse-
quence. Perhaps no equal period in
our history has been so fruitful of
important reforms i'm our economic
andEindustrial life or so full of sig
nificant changes in the spirit and
purpose OF our political action. We
have sought very thOughtfully TO set
our house in order. correct the
grosser errors and abuses Of our
industrial life. liberate and quicken
the processes of our national genius
and energy. and lift our politics to
broader view of the peoples es-
sential interests. IL is "a record of
singular variety and singular dis
tinction But / shall not attempt
10 review it. IL speaks for itself
and will be of increasing influence
as the years go by. This is not the
time for retrospect IL is time,
rather TO speak our thoughts and
purposes concerning the present and
the immediate future.

counsel and action with such un-
usual concentration and success

legislation 10 which We addressed

1t is in this spirit and with this
thought that we have grown more
and more aware, more and more

mean to vindicate and fortify peace.
We have been obliged To arm our
