with blanket over his mouth and
travelled thread tickling his nose so that
he squirmed.
Billy Louise wen. over and laid her
fingers on his neck. II can't tell
whether It's grease or Precipitation"
she said, laughing little. what are

thread and threw it on the floor.
Gimme - drink" Ward mumbled
again.
There's more sage tea
"WaughT"
81 suppose that means you aren't
crazy about sage tea! Well, / might
give you a teenty-weenty speck more
of coffee. You can't have water yet,
you know. You've-you've got to
sweat like niger in cotton patch
first.'
Ward grunted something and after
wards signified that he would take the
Soffee and call it square.
The next time she went near him he
was wrinkling his lean nose because
beads of perspiration were standing
there and slipping occasionally down
to- his cheeks.
'Fine! You're two niggers in cot
ton patch now" she announced cheer
sngly. "And Mr.. Hookin' Cough will
have to hunt another home, reckon.
You weren't half as hoarse when you
swore last time"
It was physically Impossible for
Ward to blush, since he was already
the color of boiled beet; but he
looked guilty when she uncovered the
rest of his face and wiped off the
gathered moisture. 81 didn't think
you'd hear" he grinned embarrassedly.
81 was listening for it, buckaroo. I'd
have been scared to pieces if you
hadn't cussed little. I'd have thought
sure you were going to die. A man."
she added sententiously. always has
chance as long as he's able to swear.
It's like a horse wiggling his ears"
The comparison reminded her that
she intended to shut Rather in the
hay corral; she dried Wards hands
hastily, pulled the wolf-skins off the
bed, and commanded him to keep COW
cred until she came back. She ran
down bareheaded to the stable, saw
Rather industriously boring his nose
into the stack, and put up the gate.
When she went into the cabin again,
Ward gave start and opened his eyes
like one who had been doing. Billy
Louise smiled with qualification. He
was better. She knew he was better.
She did not speak, but went over to
the stove and pretended to be busy
there, though she was careful to make
no noise. When she turned finally and
glanced toward the bed, Ward was
asleep.
Billy Louise took deep breath, tip
toed over to the bench beside the table,
sat down, and pillowed her head on
her folded arms. She wanted to cry,
and she needed to think, and she was
deadly, deadly tired.

"Tll ride on, / think. Blue hates

sOh, not at air. Seabeck stubbed
his toe on the stable doorsill In his
confusion at the praise. "I'll be right
along, soon as can slip saddle on. "
He disappeared, and Billy Louise
turned and loped slowly down the
lane.

smiled over her shoulder at him when
he came up.

CHAPTER XVII.
Marthy.

Marthy.
~ LILY LOUISE led the way down
the gorge, through the meadow,
and along the orchard to the little
gate. The Cove seemed empty and
rather forlorn, with the wind creep
ing up the river and rafting the dry
branches of the naked fruit trees.
She stopped for minute on the
doorstep, hesitating before she opened
the door. Behind her, Seabeck drew
close as if he would shield her from
something; perhaps he, too, felt the
deadly quiet and emptiness Of the
place.
Billy Louise opened the door and
stepped into the kitchen. She stopped
and stood still, so that her slim figure
would have hidden the interior from
the eyes Of Seabeck had he not been
so tall. As 1t was, she barred his
way so that he must stand on the step
outside.
By the kitchen table, with her ell
bows on the soiled oilcloth, sat Mar
thy. Her uncombed hair hung In

face was lined and gray, her hard eyes
dull with brooding. Billy Louise, star
ing at her from the doorway, knew that
Marthy had been sitting like that for
long, long time.
She went over to her efficiently.
Hesitatingly she laid her gauntleted
hand on Marthy's stopped shoulder.
She did not say anything. Marthy did
not move under her touch, except to
turn her dull glance upon Seabeck
"Cn in" she said stolidly. "What'd
yuh come fer?'
Miss Macdonald will perhaps ex-
plain"
"She amt got nothin' to explain
said hard old Marthy with grim final
ity. "I'll do what explainin's to be
done. C'm in. Don't stand there like
a stump. And shut the door. It's
cold as barn here, anyway"
"Oh. Marthy!' cried Billy Louise,
with the sound Of tears in her voice.
"Don't oh Marthy me-" said the
harsh voice fatty. "I don't want mo

PETER GNoME's CLUB.
81 MACY GRANAM BONNER

A great many Of the new members
of Peter Gnome's club, which was call
ed the Everyday Is-Nice club, did not
know just how the club had been start
ed in the first place.
They all knew Peter Gnome and Bill
lie Brownie were the very best OF
friends, and that as soon as Peter had
started his club, the brownies had been
the first to join.
They knew that Peter Gnome hated
weather grumblers and since belonging
to the club they thought weather grum-
blerS were very foolish. They had
found that there never was day up
on which one could not enjoy some
thing.
And they had discovered how much
happier they always were to like every
day as it came along Yes, they
thought the club was splendid and
they were happy to belong to it.
Still they were new members and
