The wind blew straight from the
east, over the wide marshes. and
waited a tang of seaweed and
marsh grass into the open window
of Aunt Martha's weather-beaten
cottage.

stove, through the front draft of

Goals, while he sucked a corn-cob
pipe and wished with all his heart
that he dared to light it and enjoy

warm" he often said to his niece
Myra, and winked knowingly. And
Myra agreed.
Myra had a tery good reason for
keeping her head cool. that reason
being Jasper, neighbor, Aunt
Martha had a keen sense for the
wind of love. She had seen Myra S

turning her face towards the open
window and swallowing fast to
check a sob.
"Hum-hum," grunted Abner, "the

''Myrie, ye help yer Uncle Abner

During the night the wind veered
to north, and the day broke clear
and cold. Jasper started earlier
than was his custom for the rope
factory. AS he passed Aunt Mar
tha's cottage the north wind blew
a strong fragrance of marigolds
across his path.

"Aunt Martha's are bigger'n any in

within the garden. AS he stopped
over the bed of double marigolds,

as he raised his head to speak, he
received pitcher of cold water in
his face.
