its drained, jim" she said, "and
mother can't bear the noise of town.
jim wanted Luella to occupy the
little place rent free. He was really
ashamed TO rent 1t, for the house was
falling TO pieces, the roof leaked, and
it wanted plastering. And then the
land-that was hopeless.
Twenty acres Of good farming land
run to bog and overgrown with marsh
plants! 1t had reverted to the wild
with a vengeance Luella and her
mother must be crczy to take up their
residence in such location.
Luella insisted on Jim's taking rent.
When he persisted in his refusal, she
said she would put the house in order
instead. She did.
Tin was amazed when he returned
for his first visit that Christmas. The
house had been repainted and plas-
tered, the leak stopped in the roof;
it looked neat and trim, and Luella
was raising chickens, geese and tur-
keys, too, The land made fine run
for them, though the young turkeys
had to be kept off the wet places.
Guess I'll soon be able to retire and
take up poultry raising, jim, dear"
Lucia smiled.
They were very happy that visit,
for in another year Jim hoped to be
making enough to be able to ask Luella
TO marry him. But the business de-
preston grew worse instead Of better,
and Jim's letters became more and
more hopeless, eliminating in the offer
Of release.
1t was strange how Luella went
about with smile on her lips as the
days grew shorter. Luella was twenty
five, Jim nearly thirty. They had been
definitely engaged four years.
"Tomorrow's Christmas!" Luella
cried, dancing about the parlor. "Put
on the turkey, mother!"

a Wild thing" her mother admonished
her.

Jim stared at the smart motorcar
that drew up before the depot. No
flivver, this! He stared still more at

stepped out of 1t and flung her arms
round his neck in the sight of every
body.

When Jim reached the house, he saw
that a wing had been added since his
departure. There was real silver on
the dining table. And the turkey was
a perfect monster.
'How do you like the turkey, Jim?"
"Fine, Luella."
"And the-the cranberries?"
"Why. they're very good cranber-
ries," said Jim.

Jim, most of the turkeys died, and 1t
was SO dreadful, all my hopes of a
fortune going in that way. It was the
marsh that killed them"
Nothing will live on that land, not
even turkeys" declared Jim.

live on the marsh, and as the turkeys
died IL planted cranberries, Jim.
oh, Jim, do you know we've got the
