THE EVENING STORY

they were ready Diana whipped out
the car, packed herself and Julia ana
the necessities into ii and started FOR
Camp JOY.
It was q tiny place in the woods
away from everybody Diana had not
made the place or even bought 1t; she
had inherited 1t from a friend who
had gone West to live. The tiny
cabin surrounded by trees had not
cost much, though it was coy
enough Julia grumbied a little be-
cause she found her housekeeping at
fairs restricted: her biscuits some-
times had SCOT in them and the por-
ridge burned But Diana loved it all.
1t was wild and responded to her
nature
She had done bit of shopping be-
fore leaving town, and when she APP
peared before Julia in Knockers with
her gray hair hidden under a boyish
cap she looked so young as to startle
her discreet handmaiden.
What now" asked Julia.
Diana laughed. I'm going out to
climb a tree, sit on a rock in the sun
and catch some trout for supper, she
answered gayly.
She chose her tree judiciously, one
with plenty of good footholds and
handholds. She was not used to
climbing, but by scrambling and
clinging and painting she got up a
considerable distance. Astraddle of
bought she looked off at the spar
king brook and the green branches.
And then she looked down. Her
heart curdled, for she did not see how
she was ever to descend.

and began to whistle as merrily as
she could. 1t would have been very
nice in the tree If she didn't have
to think about getting down.
Still, she could not sit up there for.

tempt. Perhaps she would have
reached the ground in safety if she
had not miscalculatad. In agony she
felt her feet swinging clear, felt her
grasp of the bough above her giving

Don't be afraid. I'll catch you"
He did catch her and saved her a
bad fall. Righting herself she looked
into gray eyes, saw gray hair, fine
face and thanked her stars that the
man had been strong enough for the
task.
Il didn't know there was another
person in these woods but myself" he
said, wonderingly.
Neither did we," replied Diana.
"We?"

she protested he said he could catch
more and probably would after supper.

asked.
Certainly. neighbor," answered
Diana.
Now, who was he? And What was

she liked him when he came, liked him
all the better when she found that he
was a Woodworking business man
who had run away to find a bit of
quiet and soul rest. His name was
Peter Baldwin and he carried a vol

to meet on common ground.

Gray Hair.

- lana MOON looked in the
mirror and sighed. She had
been looking in that same
~ mirror all her life. In it she
had seen her reflection as a
| child, as a long-legged young girl as
a radiant maiden, as woman SOFTLY
and beautifully maturing. She now
| viewed herself as person OF middle
| age with gray hair.
! Yes. Diana's hair was unmistak-
| ably gray. She had at last arrived at
| that time of her life where woman
| finds the parting of the ways. At one
! she kisses youth goodbye forever;
| at the other she accepts old age and
| goes patiently plodding on
The trouble with Diana was that
she felt so unbelievably young. The
| spirit within her did not jibe with her
! gray hair; it was buoyant, eager, rest
| less. Her lips wanted to sing and her
| feet to dance, but she needs must
restrain both as being out of keeping
with that symbol of age upon her
| brow.
The truth was Diana had never had
any real childhood, any playtime as a
young girl. any courtship as maiden.
Life had been kind to her. but res
served She had been brought up by
| her grandmother, quiet, exclusive
| being in a house where every act had
| been marked by restraint. Grand
mother had nodded Diana's life, chosen
her companions, scared away the few
available young men. She had died
when Diana was past 80, and then the
habit of Diana's life was fixed. She
looked demure, she walked sedately
she was spoken of as prim. And al
the time that youth in her was riot
ing like all the birds and blossoms in
the world.

off. For the first time Peter beheld
her without 1t.
"Why-why, your hair is gray" he
