She drew q long breath and the
lines OF hardship and heartache deep
ened on her face. making her look
almost old. She had made a good
fight-for naught. After all, she
was but a woman 20 treat with soil
that begrudged and nature that
would not aid.
Her hands showed TO what use she
had put them; her slim figure had
not an ounce OF flesh TO spare. She
had worked herself down 70 mere
bone and muscle and now bone and
muscle were rebelling. She was Civ
ing out; she could not work through
another year like last. And all she
had 20 show for her brave toll was
the prospect OF winter OF privation.
In that moment OF desperation the
girls heart failed her and she crinS-
ed before the future. This farm was
her all, and II had refused TO sup
port her. AS for selling II, who
would buyH The land was not mar
ketAble.
A hundred things came 20 her
mind-the loneliness OF long nights;
the terror OF some, with only her dog
for companion; the days of toll; the
eager endeavOr; her watch cry, Il
will not be beaten!" hope springing
anew each spring and each fall All,
II was all bitter, but not cne-half
so bitter as the future!

Mrs. Congdon would reply as she

There was the keynote OF the mys-
terry. Chalmers laid It to Congdon,

YOU do not make a change in your

Chalmers and Congdon got their
ultimatums the same night, but there
was no conspiracy about this. II
Just happened so because they came
home from a banquet so tired out
that each had to sit down on the
lower step OF the stairs and rest for
ten minutes before the climb Also
