Compromise

But Win put his hand on the
wheel and begged me to stop. So
we sat there in the moonlight, on
the road where few people passed
at night, the silver and black coun-
try behind us and in front. In the
cup of the hills, the lights of the
little town.
We sat there and talked for an
hour. L could not believe the change
that had come over Winthrop. 1t
had come too suddenly. 1t was the
thing | had wanted for two years,
the thing l had given up hoping for.
81 can't believe It," l repeated
several times. 'This doesn't sound
like you"
Il suppose I've changed a little"
Win answered. "You were quite
right when you said that other sort
of life was empty and silly. But l
couldn't see t."
"Td had so much of 1t, the eternal
rushing around doing nothing, firing
oneself out merely killing time,
working hard. and accomplishing"
Nothing" Win finished my sem
tence for me. But you couldn't ex-
pect me to be anything but fascinat-
ed by it. I'd W. seen anything
like it before, and 1 never met people
like those in the city before"
II expected you would be fasci-
mated by the city and all its excite
ment, and the people that glittered
all that sort of thing" / ended my
phrase lamely. But l thought your
common sense would make you see
how useless 1t was after a time"
ut did. But it took nearly two
years" Win answered. " think l
would like the people in your set,
hat 1 afterwards disliked as being
stiff and priggish. They're more
worth while than the crowd I went
with after you left me. They were
a bad lot. 1 got bored to death with
them, Connie. l really wanted to
hear some Intelligent conversation
so much l almost hunted up your
friend Colin, to hear him talk"
L laughed at that, knowing Wins
old dislike of Colin.
IN do anything you want" Win
throp went on. You like this town,
and the awfully simple life here,
Let's settle here then. Our firm has
been negotiating for one of the oil
companies here. We want to con-
troll its stock. L can manage that
you've got friends here-and mother
adores YOU"
At last he had offered ito give
up everything he once liked, and to
give me everything l once liked. He
was ready to do without the late
parties. the theatres, dances, restau'
rants, the bfaze OF lights, the lavish
scale of entertaining-and to settle
into a quiet town where nothing
happened more exciting than 6
church fair and where the browning
supreme feature of a dinner party
was a strawberry shortcake for des'
serti
And suddenly l found that I die
not want that either. l remembered
my last summer here in this very
town, the gossip, the narrowness o
the life, the lack of anything bt0cd
ening or uplifting.
NO" 1 said decidedly. 'Tha
would never do"
There was a moments silence.

you to go on caring much after tn

The next day Sprinkle-Blow's tel
ephone rang again. Nick answered
it and heard Chris Crows voice.
II wish you'd change my order
for no MOON" croaked Chris dismal
ly.
Why" asked Nick. What's
wrong? We had Mr.. West Wind
and Mr.. Moon send the darkest
night they could find. Didn't you
get any corn?"
Corn" squawked Chris. About
as much corn as there is on a door
knob! Whadda you think? Just as
1t was fixed to eat my fill, didn't that
old Scare Crow slip up on me!
Jumped up or the corn-stalk where

There never was anything In

ter and I'll never see her If you don't
want me to-"
II v want to forbid you to dc
anything" 1 answered. II was silly
about Gwen, and silly about a lot OF
other things. L was nervous and
tired from the sort of life we were
leading"
You won't be, if we live here
and if you love me-"
1--WE won't live here" I said de-
cidedly. This is a reaction on your
part. Win. You are so impulsive
you go from n extreme to the
other. You went from this deadly
quiet life into the very heart of all
the excitement New York can offer.
You ran that as hard as you could.
Now you've tired of that.
"If you live here, in a year or less
you'll rebel at this. And I think l
would too, for I've gone from one
extreme to the other too. j tried
for your sake to live the excited life
you wanted, and couldn't, and /
| came here and settled for a summer
with nothing more interesting than
Ella for tea and sewing, and /
couldn't do that.
You wanted me to live your sort
of life and 1 wanted you to live
mine. And neither of us could do
It. Yet both of us were in love.
But it takes more than love to make
a happy marriage"
What do you want to do?" Win
asked.
Compromise I said.

GROUND HOG COMES OUT
AND SEES Ills SHADOW

Wednesday was ground hog day,
the time of the year When the little
rodent was supposed to emerge forth
from his winters Information to dis
cover the state Of weather. Accord.
Ing to tradition if he saw his shadow
ne was to again retreat underground,
predicting six more weeks of winter
before the advent of spring. There
is no doubt as to the. ground hog
casting his reflection ON the ground
as the sun was out all day and nary
cloud ohscnred its rays.
Last year all calculations We're up-
set. however. in predictions made
from ground hog day. The day was
cloudy and shadows We're minus
quantity. 1t is common knowledge
as to the extent Of Wintry conditions
after that,
Some have even expressed doubt
this year whether the ground hog
ever did take up winter quarters on
account OF the mildness OF weather
conditions. Prairie dogs are said to
still be nearly as active as they are
in mid summer.
