CHAPTER TX.
Which Is the Test. ANOERSONVllLE. TWELVE YEARS LATER

Twelve years-yes. And I'm twenty eight years old. Pretty old. little Mary Marie of the long ago would think. And, well, perhaps today l feel just as old as she would put it.
 came up into the attic this morn- no longer need, now that I am going to leave Jerry. (Jerry is my husband.) And in the bottom of my little trunk 1 found this manuscript. l had forgot ten that such thing existed; but with its laboriously written pages before me, 1t all came back to me; and l be- gan to read; here sentence; there paragraph; somewhere else a page. Then, with little half laugh and a half sob, l carried it to an old rocking chair by the cobwebby dormer window, and settled myself to read it straight through.
 And 1 have read 1t.
 Poor little Mary Marie, Gear little Mary Marie! To meet you like this. to share with you your joys and sor- rows, hopes and despairs, of those years, long ago, is like sitting hand In hand on sofa with childhoods friend, each listening to an enger And do you remember:" falling constantly from delighted lips that cannot seem to talk half fast enough.
 It was almost dark when 1 had fin ished the manuscript. It was written on the top sheet of a still thick pad of paper, and my fingers fairly tingled suddenly, to go on and cover those unused white sheets-tell what hap pened neXt-tell the rest of the story {; not for the sake of the story-but for my sake. It might help me. It might make things clearer. It might help to justify myself in my own eyes. Not that l have any doubts, of course (about leaving Jerry, mean), but that when l saw 1t in black and white was doing what was best for him anG best for me.
 So l brought the manuscript down to my own room, and this evening have commenced to write. cant fin ish it tonight, of course. But l have tomorrow, and still tomorrow. q have 50 many tomorrows now! And what do they all amount top And so r. just keep writing, as have time, til bring it to the end.
 I'm sorry that it must be so sad and sorry an end. But there's no other way, of course. There can he but one ending, as l can see. I'm sorry. Mother'n be sorry. too. She doesn't know yet. l hate to tell her. Nobody knows-not even Jerry himself-yet. They all think I'm just making visit to MOther-and l am-till write that

than I did that minute.

tnhn l ulu tndl minute.
 She just came and put her arms around me and kissed me. and 1 saw then that her eyes were all misty with tears. She didn't say word, hardly, only that Father wanted to see me. and I was to go right down.
 And I went.
 l thought, of course. that she was coming, too. But she didn't. And when I got down the stairs I found I was all alone; but went right on into the library, and there was Father waiting for me.
 He didn't say much either, at first {; but just like Mother he put his arms around me and kissed me. and held me there. Then. very soon, he began to talk: and, oh, he said such beautiful things-such tender, lovely, sacred things; too sacred even to write down here. Then he kissed me again and went away.
 But he came back the next day, and he's been here some part of every day since And. oh, what wonderful week it has been!
 They're going to he married. It's tomorrow. They'd have been married right away at the first, only they had to wait-something about licenses and a five-day notice. Mother said. Father fussed and fumed and wanted to try for special dispenSation. or some thing; but Mother laughed. and said certainly not, and that she guessed it was just as well. for she positively had to have a few things; and he needn't think he could walk right in like that on a body and expect her to get mar ried at d moments notice. But she didn't mean 1t. l know she didn't; for when Father approached her. she laughed softly. and called him an old goose. and said, yes. of course. shed have married him in two minutes if It hadn't been for the tive-day notice no matter whether she ever had a new dress or not.
 And that's the way it is with them all the time. They're too funny and lovely together for anything. (Aunt Hattie says they're too silly for any thing; but nobody minds Aunt Hat tie)
 And, as I said before. it is all per fectly wonderful.
 So it's all settled, and they're going right away on this trip and call il wedding trip. And, of course, Grand father had to get of his joke about how he thought it was a pretty dan gerous business; and to see that this honeymoon didn't go into an eclipse while they were watching the other one. But nobody minds Grandfather.
 I'm to stay here and finish school. Then. in the spring, when Father and Mother come back, we are all to go to Andersonville and begin to live in the old house again.
 Won't 1t be lovely? It just seems too good to be true. Why, l don't care hit now whether I'm Mary or Marie. But, then, nobody else does, either. In fact, both of them call me the whole name now. Mary Marie. don't think they ever said they would. They just began to do 1t. That's all.
 How about this being love story now? Oh. I'm so excited!

Paul Mayhew that had detied his mother and sister and walked home with me one night and invited me to % for an automobile ride. only to be sent sharply about his business by my stern. memorable Aunt Jane. Paul was in the senior class now. and the hand somest. most admired boy in school. He didn't care for girls. That is, he said he didn't. He bore himself with supreme indifference that was mad dening. and that took (apparently) no notice of the fact that every girl In school was a willing slave to the mere nodding of his head or the beckoning of his hand.
 This was the condition of things when I entered school thRt fall, and perhaps for a week thereafter. Then one day, very suddenly, and without apparent reason, he awoke to the fsct of my existence. Candy, flowers, books some one of these he brought to me every morning. All during the school day he was my devoted gallant, dane ing attendance every possible minute outside of session hours. and walking home with me in the afternoon, proudly carrying my books. Did l say .'home with me-? That is not strictly true-he always stopped just one block short of ''hOme"--one block
The Holbrook news., 1922-06-09

short of my gate. He evidently had not forgotten Aunt Jane, and did not intend to take any foolish risks! So he said good-by to me always at a safe distance.
 This went on for perhaps a week Then he asked me to attend school sleigh-ride and supper with him.
 was wild with delight. At the same time I was wild with apprehen- sion. awoke suddenly to the fact of the existence of Father and Mother and that their permission must be gained. And had my doubts-I had very grave doubts. Yet 1t seemed to me at that moment that I just had to go on that sleigh-rile. That it was the only thing in the whole wide world worth while
 l can remember now. as if it were yesterday, the way debated in my mind as to whether I should ask Father. Mother, or both together. and if l should let it be seen how greatly I desired to go, and how much il meant to me; or if I should just mention it as in passing, and take their permiS- sion practically for granted.
 chose the latter course, and took time when they were both together At the breakfast table I mentioned casually that the school was to have sleigh-ride and supper the next Fri day afternoon and evening, and that Paul Mayhew had asked me to go with him.
 "A seigh-ride, supper, and not come home until evening"" cried Mother. And with whom, did you say?"
 Paul Mayhew," I answered. I still tried to speak casually; at the same time I tried to indicate by voice and manner something of the great honor that had been bestowed upon their daughter.
 Father was impreSsed-plainly i'm pressed; but not a all in the way had hoped he would be. He gave me swift, sharp glance; then looked straight at Mother
 ''Humph! Paul Mayhew! Yes, know him." he said grimly. And I'm dreadng the time when he comes into college next year"
 "You mean" Mother heSitated and stopped.
 'I mean l don't like the company he keeps-already," nodded Father.
 Then you don't think that Mary nil glanced at me.
 Certainly not" said Father de- cidedly.
 l knew then, Of course. that he meant couldn't go on the sleigh ride even though he hadn't said the words right out. forgot all about being casual and indifferent and matter-of- course then. I thought only of show ing them how absolutely necessary It was for them to let me go on that sleigh ride, unless they wanted my life forevermore hopelessly blighted.
 l explained carefully how he was the handsomest, most popular boy in school, and how all the girls were just crazy to be asked to go anywhere with him; and I argued what if Fath- CT had seen him with boys he did not like-then that was all the more req son why nice girls like me, when he asked them, should go with him, so as to keep him away from bad boys. And I reminded them again that he was the very handsomest, most popular hov in school; and that there wasn't

The saying is that if the head end of this particular kind of caterpillar shows more black than the other end, this. may be taken as an indication that the early part of the winter Is to- be the hardest, and, on the other hand. if the tail has the greatest amount of dark col- bring, the late winter Is to be the most trying part of the season It will be good news to people who believe in signs, and even to others who do not, but. like to be encouraged. that the caterpillar seen Wednesday was dark third of the way down from it's head and only slightly mottled the remainder of it's length. So that is one freely given forecast for Jan uary, February and early March.
