when the right time for her comes"
do you think I ought to marry

Julia controlled her surprise be-
fore she spoke again.
Doug is a mighty good boy"
.But do you think a girl ought
to marry just a boy who is good?

said, Has that have you gone
to liking that Surveyor" 1t was
uttered, and it seemed very strange
to see it taken out of secret and
put in the room between her and
her mother-just little phrase
''liking that surveyor"
1t was such an odd world within
| to be folded up in three words and
stood upon sewing stand or
bench by the loom.
Julia let it stand there until it
was no longer ill at ease, and then
said without probing Cynthia's Sc
crets, ''What did you tell Dough"
II told him a lie."
Its sudden stab was so unexpect-
ed that Julia exclaimed, "Why, Gym

Il had burned my hand on the
stove. and was stirring the batter
with my left hand, stopping it out
against my old dress, and was so
hot and my hair was stringing down

and the sharp explosive crack Of
tree beginning it's fall. The mare
looked and Cynthia looked into the
hollow at the heavy fall Of a great
tulip tree, lunging against all the
efforts of the lumberman down-hill
through space in thunderous sigh
ing swish, rebounding from the
ground on resilient limbs and
springing like a beheaded chicken
dozen yards from the stump on
the steep hillside.
II reckon body just has to look
sometimes when things get hurt
and die. Does it make your stom-
ach twist too? We both did it at
the same time, and maybe you are
not so different from the other peo-
pie just because your square mouth
won't make any words"
And Cynthia looked into the
smoking brush piles and ugly
stumps where possums used to
crouch in the padded silence.
The Mason place was unaltered;
the weathered paling fence where
she left the mare, the chickens
about the yard, the slight musty
smell of the house compounded Of
wood-smoke, unaired rooms, cook
ing and sickness. 1t dawned sud-
denly on Cynthia that it was this
redolence of other people which had
always made her vaguely unhappy
at the Masons'.
The roof over the porch was still
incomplete. There was a hen IN
Sarah's hickory-split rocker. Gym
thia went on into the kitchen.
Sarah had her large bare feet
propped on a cushion while she
shelled beans from the sack by her
side. She wept to see Cynthia, dab
bling at her eyes and smiling and
| talking all the time about how long
| it had been since she had come to
see her, of the progress Of her at
| flictions, of the gifts Julia had sent,
and Of Doug. Hes gone over to
his 'seng patch again. He goes over
there purt' near every evening with
his gum"
Cynthia told her about the news
from Wolfpen and her plans for the
Institute. Sarah made her usual ex-
carnations and another of these
visits was nearing an end.
$50 you go off next week." Sarah
said again, hobbling to the porch.
you'll be coming back to visit be-
fore long, reckon"
Eyes, it's not so far"
"Doug is over by the 'seng bed,
Cynthia. He'd never get over it if
you went off without saying good
by" she said, dabbing at her eyes
again.
''I'll go by the patch like I said.
You take good care of Yourself
while I'm gone"
"I'll do the best / can, Cynthia.
/ wish you didn't have to hurry off,"
Doug was crouched in a clump Of
sumac bushes looking down on the
oDlong glade. He was so intent that
he did not see or hear her at once.
She slipped down fsom the mare
and stood watching him shoulder
the gun, and trying to see what
he could be shooting at. There
was nothing to be seen but few
cardinals fitting about the red
seed-pod berries on the 'seng. While
she looked, he fired, and as she bat
ted her eyes and calmed the star
tied mare she saw puff of red
feathers jerk sharply upward and
then flutter to the ground.
"Oh!" she cried, as If she were
hurt, and hid her eyes against the
mares neck.
"Why, howdy, Cynthia"
He came out Of the bushes full

and was troubled about.
She waved to Jesse in the mea-
dow where he had been furiously
tossing hay and was sitting now
under haycock with the book
opened on his knees. II reckon
Jesse sure means business whether
he pitches hay or reads the law.
I'm right glad he'll be over there
too, even if he don't come for
week or two"
Spared was outside his shop,
leaning against the shade by the
door, looking to nowhere out of
Wolfpen with puzzlement on his
face. It slipped off as Cynthia came
into the mill-yard, and he spoke
kindly to her and patted the rump
Of the Finemare.
"You two make fine-looking out
fit, if do say it myself
Cynthia, seeing remnant Of her
Daddy Spared in his eyes and voice,
thought, Gle ought to have more
pleasure out of all this business
than he's getting, but he let's other
mems troubles be his own because
they are on his land, when he ought
to let Shellenberger and his black
man run on to suit themselves, and
be happy up Wolfpen with his own
place."
She smiled to him, and waved
back as she took the ford over Gan
non.
/ And she smiled with her own
sense of pleasure as she heard Alb
rails voice pitched high saying, mo.
1t won't go that way. Here. Watch
me-"
She dreaded the thought Of look
ing up the hollow where the trees
had been cut. AS she came into the
road beyond the shadow of the Pin
nacle where Dry Greek would burst
into view, she played a, game with
herself and the Finemare. well
see if we can go by without either
of us looking over there to the
slaughter pens," she said aloud. 1t
was a difficult game to play. She
fixed her eyes on the Finemare's
ears for many PAGES. Then she
looked off to the bright, sun-tinted
green on the timbered ridges to the
north, and down into the cool dark
pockets in the hollows where, the
shadows lay. The Finemare held
her neck straight down the road be-
tween the Patches of rank horse
weeds as high as her back. "It's
not fair for me, Finemare, because
you couldn't see over along here
even if you wanted to. But l just
naturally face that over there be-
cause I sit sideways, and / have
to stretch my neck to look the other
way. It's funny how you try not to
look at something you don't want to
see and all the time feel it pulling
at your eyes so hard you can't hard
ly keep them off of it." She looked
at great white roll of cloud, try
ing to decide whether to have it be
dragon straining for it's prey, or a
fair host of angels draping veil of
luminous wings over the unmolested
hills. Then she decided they were
Just ordinary clouds with nothing to
do but go riding in the sky in the
;. afternoon.
So she resisted Dry Creek while
they passed the rank horse weeds,
and the cane-brake shooting pale
yellow poles high above her, and
came to. the open meadow. There
she suddenly felt the lure Of ugli-
ness rushing across the open space
and reaching for her eyes, as though
barrier had fallen. She resisted
with an effort. She heard the voices
Of men framing the curious, sharp
monosyllabic cries to the mules and
oxen. She felt the smell of wooC

Daddy goes around like he had
a trouble bound on his shoulders. He
works down around the mill so
much l don't know how he's ever
going to get herbs for his medicine
and the corn in and the hay made
and the sorghum. Jasper works in
the fields with a sorry look on his
face, and l reckon he wants to
marry. And Abral is so excited
about everything I can hear him
Hopping in his bed at night and
rramming his knees with bang into
the wall. And there's Jesse work
ing on through his big book and
looking at his steer, and know he,
is right nervous about going Off
over to town with so much to do
about the place before winter and
all these strange men coming here
from down-river, and the hard feel
ings about Grover Sims getting
killed. And there's Cynthia. What
about you? You think about him
and his maps and papers he's work
ing on, and about how you're to
get over to the Institute for win
ter and about silly things in the
trees that you'd just better leave to
old Mr.. Stingy Shellenberger and
his black man. But it's not nice to
call even him bad names"
These things gave her enough to
think on. The work around the
house offered more than she could
do.
Slowly September was creeping
into Wolfpen. Soon Cynthia would
be going away and the thought was
pleasant. She had finished the di-
verse colored cloth for the mems
shirts and the blue twill cloth for
her own dress, and now she was
sewing them while Julia did the

year Lucy got married, and the
spring Jenny moved over on Horse

girls gone"
"And now with me about to CO."
'But it's just over to town to the
Institute, and not like marrying and
going off for good and all"
'Sometimes l don't think I'd bet

Its not much, Cynthia, now that

~ man victory rampage today.
but even his heroic efforts could not
keep Don Lash and the other hustling
Indiana Hoosiers from winning their
first Western Conference track and
field championship.
Owens, year older and year
wiser, duplicated his quadruple tri-
umph of year ago at Ann Arbor,
Mich. His record performance today
was in the 220-yard dash where he
was timed at POI seconds around a
curve. That was one-tenth of a Sec
ond faster than the American record
accredited to Ralph Metcalf of Mar
quette
Looking toward the Olympic games
at Berlin next August, the Cleveland
Negro expended only as much of his
power and speed as was necessary to
win the 100 and 220-yard dashes. the
220-yard low hurdles, and his favorite
event, the running broad jump.
As great as was Owens perform
ance before a home crowd of 1885,
record attendance for the meet. it
overshadowed by little, If anything,
the dazzling demonstration of dis
tance running by Lash.

distance talent that carried IN
diana to triumph, shattered the con-
ference one-mile record for the Sec
ond straight year by conquering
Charles Fenske Of Wisconsin, after a
stirring duel in the brilliant time of
minutes, 1913 seconds.
He came back an hour later to
lower the two-mile figure from the 9
minutes 2l9 seconds established by
George Wright of Wisconsin. in 1881,
to 9:l99.
Fenske and Lash fought it out in
the mile from gun to tape. with not
more than a half dozen feet separating
them at any stage.
Lash's teammates, Tommy Deckard
and Jimmy Smith. followed to the
tape in the two-mile, giving Indiana
II of its ~ points in one event.
Michigan and Ohio State tied for

~ HILADELPHIA, May 23.-The
- New York Yankees cut loose
with a home run barrage to-
day as they defeated the
Philadelphia Athletics in both games
of a double-h header, IL to and Is to /,
to strengthen their hold on first place
in the American League.
Tony Lazzeri led the circuit hitters
with three. He got one in the first
game and two in the second Ben
Chapman also hit one in the first
contest, while Red Rolfe, Bill Dickey
and Frank Crosetti came through in
the nightcap. Dickey's blow was his
ninth home run of the season.
A crowd of 24,940 paid the largest
base ball attendance in Philadelphia
in two seasons to see the double bill.
At the end the spectators were hurting
scraps of torn paper, pop bottles and
seat cushions onto the field, making
play difficult.
Pat Malone and Johnny Broaca
chalked up the victories. The former
held the AS to l run and 4 hits in
the first eight innings of the opener,
while Broaca limited them to seven
blows in the second.
