Geese on Guard

Wild geese are extremely wary. and

round high up to see that nothing Is
even approaching them from dis

Their hearing is very acute, and 1t il
said their sense of smell is also. Ger
tainly, if they are approached down
wind, they are up and away at once,
even if the greatest care has been
taken to keep out of sight.
They have cry like pack of

that are said to hunt an equally ghost

out on the porch to await Selma. She
was out on the west sixteen-the west
sixteen that used to be unprolific, half
drowned auckland. Dirk felt little
uneasy, and ashamed that he should
feel so.
Then they saw her coming, small
dark figure against the background OF
sun and sky and fields. She came
swiftly, yet ploddingly, for the ground
was heavy. They stood facing her, the
four of them. AS she came nearer
they saw that she was wearing dark
skirt pinned up about her ankles to
protect 1t from the wet spring earth,
and yet it was spattered with Dor
der Of mud spots. A rough, heavy
gray sweater was buttoned closely
about the straight, slim body. On her
head was a battered soft black hat.
Her feet, in broad-tOed sensible shoes,
she lifted high out Of the soft, cling
ing soil. Her hair blew a little in the
gentle spring breeze. Her cheeks were
family pink. She was coming up the
path now. She could distinguish their
faces. She saw Dirk; smiled, waved.
Her glance went inquiringly to the
others-the bearded man in uniform,
the tall girl, the man with the dark,
vivid face Then she stopped, sudden
", and her hand went to her heart Us
though she had felt great pang, and
her lips were parted. and her eyes
enormous. AS Roelf came forward
swiftly she took a few quick, running
steps toward him, like young girl.
He took the slight figure in the mud
spattered skirt, the rough gray sweater
and the battered old hat into his arms.

They had had tea in the farm sitting
room and Dallas had made little
moaning over the beauty of the Dutch
ulster set. Selma had entertained
them with the shining air of one who
is robed in silk and fine linen. She
and General Goguet had got on ia
mously from the start. meeting on the
common ground of asparagus culture
'But how thick?" he had demanded
for he, too, had his pet asparagus beds
on the farm in Brittany. "How thick
at the base?"
Selma made circle with thumb and
forefinger. The general groaned with
envy and despair. He was very com,
Portable, the general. He partook
largely of tea and cakes. He flattered
Selma with his eyes. She actually dim
pied, flushed, laughed like girl. But

Roelf that her eyes dwelt and rested.
1t was with him she walked when she
was silent and the others talked. 1t
was as though he were her one son,
and had come home. Her face was
radiant, beautiful.
Seated next to Dirk, Dallas said.
in low voice: "There. that's what

Dirk looked up at her quickly, half
smiling, as though expecting to find
her smiling, too. But she was not
smiling. my mother!"
Eyes, If she'd let me. With that fine
splendid face all lit up with the light
that comes from inside; and the jaw
line like that of the women who came
over in the Mayf1ower; or crossed the
continent in a covered wagon; and her
eyes! And that battered funny gor-
geous bum old hat and the white shirt
waist-and her hands! She's beauti-
full. She'd make me famous at one
leap. You'd see!"
Dirk stared at her. 1t was as though
he could not comprehend. Then he
turned in his chair to stare at his
mother. Selma was talking to Roelf
"And you've done all the famous
men of Europe, haven't you, Roelf! To
think of it! You've seen the world,
and you've got it in your hand. Little
Roelf Pool. And you did it all alone.
In spite of everything"
Roelf leaned toward her. He put
his hand over her rough one. Cab
bages are beautiful" he said. Then
they both laughed as at some exquisite
joke. Then, seriously: "What a fine
life you've had, too, Selma. A full life,
and rich one and successful"
'I!" exclaimed Selma. "Why. Roelf,
I've been here all these years. just
where you left me when you were a
boy. l think the very hat and dress
I'm wearing might be the same | wore
