Chapter Nv

High Prairie SWANS failed to find
Selma alluring. She was too small,
too pale and fragile for their robust
taste. Naturally, her coming had
been an event in this isolated commu-
nifty. With no visible means of COM
munication news of her leaped from
farm to farm as flame leaps the gaps
in forest fire. She would have been
aghast to learn that High Prairie,
inexplicably enough, knew all about
her from the color of the ribbon that
threaded her neat little white corset
covers to the number of books on her
shelf. She thought cabbage fields
beautiful; she read books to that
dumb-acting Roelf Pool; she was
making over dress for Maartje after
the pattern of the stylish brown
lady's-cloth she wore (foolishly) to
school.
On her fifth Sunday in the district
she accompanied the Pools to the
morning service at the Dutch Re
formed church. Maartje seldom had
the time for such frivolity. But on
this morning Klaas hitched up the big
farm wagon with the double seat and
took the family complete-Maartje,
Selma, Roelf, and the pig-tails. Roelf
had rebelled against going. had been
cuffed for it, and had sat very still
all through the service, gazing at the
red and yellow glass church window.
Selina's appearance had made quite
stir, of which she was entirely I'M
aware. AS the congregation entered
by twos and threes she thought they
resembled startlingly woodcut in an
old illustrated book she once had
seen. The mems Sunday trousers and
coats had a square stiff angularity,
as though chopped out Of a block.

It looks as II Selma were
growing rather fond Of High
Prairie. Likely enough she will
fall In love with some truck
farmer.

. England's Fish Rain

In August, 1918, a small territory in
northern England enjoyed what was
possibly the most novel of all showers.
The precipitation in large part con-
sisted Of fish. The explanation which
has been made, and which Is seeming
ly logical one, is that waterspout
offshore lifted the fish by its power,
carried them short distance inland,
and with the dispersion of the water
spout and its power dropped the fish
on the land.-Science and Invention

its place smooth and polished one,
with brackets intricately carved. Roelf
had cut, planned, polished, and carved
it in many hours Of work in the cold
little shed off the kitchen. He had
there workshop of sorts, fitted with
such tools and implements as he could
devise He did mans work ON the
farm, yet often at night Selma could
family hear the rasp of his handsaw
after she had gone to bed. This sort
Of thing was looked upon by Klaas
Pool as foolishness. Roelf'S real work
in the shed was the making and mend
ing of coldframes and hotbeds for the
early spring plants. Whenever possible
Roelf neglected this dull work for some
fancy of his own. To this Klaas Pool
objected as being dumb

your ma once some wood. Carving on

dumb as a Groningen !"
Roelf did not sulk He seemed not
to mind, particularly, but he came back
to the carved box as soon as chance
presented itself. He was reading her
books with such hunger as to cause
her to wonder If her stock would last
him the winter. Sometimes, after sup
per, when he was hammering and saw
ing away In the little shed Selma
would snatch Maartje's old shawl off
the hook, and swathed in this against
draughty chinks, she would read aloud
to him while he carved. or talk to him
above the noise Of his tools. Selma
was gay and volatile person. She
loved to make this boy laugh. His
dark face would flash into almost
dazzling animation. Sometimes Mart
je, hearing their young laughter, would
come to the shed door and stand there
a moment, hugging her arms in her
rolled apron and smiling at them, I'M
comprehendlng but companionable.
You make fun, h'm7'
Come In, Mrs. Pool. Sit down on
my box and make fun, too. Here, you
may have half the shawl"

somber garment. Her slim hands
were rough and chapped. The oldest
child in the room was thirteen, the
youngest four and a half.
Early in the winter Selma had had
the unfortunate idea of opening the
ice-locked windows at intervals and
giving the children five minutes Of
exercise while the fresh cold air
cleared brains and room at once.
Arms waved wildly, heads wobbled,
short legs worked vigorously. At the
end of the week twenty High Prairie
parents sent protests by note or word
Of mouth. Jan and Cornelius, Katrina
and Aggie went to school to learn
reading and writing and numbers, not
to stand with open windows in the
winter.
On the Pool farm the winter work
had set in. Klaas drove into. Chicago
with winter vegetables only once a
week now. He and Jakob and Roeif
were storing potatoes and cabbages
underground; repairing fences; pre-
pairing 1IducS 1OI lHC carly SpAlAS
planting; sorting seedlings. 1t had
been Roelf who had taught Selma to
build the schoolhouse fire. He had
gone with her on that first morning,
had started the fire, filled the water
pail, initiated her in the rites Of corn

there In the house. And there's another

He was trying not to appear pleased
to appear stolid and Dutch, like the
people from whom he had sprung.
Some Dutch sailor ancestor, Selma
thought. or fisherman, must have
touched at an Italian port or Spanish
and brought back a wife whose eyes
and skin and feeling for beauty had
skipped layer on layer Of placid Meth
erlands to crop out now in this wistful
sensitive boy.
Selma had spoken to Pool about a
shelf for her books and her photo
graphs. He had put up rough bit Of
board, very crude and ugly, but it had
served. She had come home one snowy
afternoon to find this shelf gone and in

The President gave no indication

of more than a dozen women have
been sent to him with strong sup
