less you have the seeing eye. But you'll find it friendly and kind and simple. hope" he added with those same qualities, you will find much more than that. Maybe your hearts desire!"
 Then he laughed; Mrs. Parson will think I'm bringing home a bride, arriving at such an hour!"
 They had pulled up now in front of square brick house that sat we'll back on the Main street. Its walls were almost completely cov- cred with ivy that still clasped Its green leaves; its wide porch was over the door was an exquisite fanlight, delicately wrought. A row of stately elms flanked the crumbling walk.
 Why, this house must be over hundred years old!" Connie ex- claimed. Tt must have been a perfectly lovely house in its day"
 "Shsh" Bret put finger to his lips. They had come through the gate; he placed her bag on the steps. Tt still is, my dear young lady! Aunt Bertha as told you everoyne calls her she thinks it the finest mansion in the whole countryside I'll have you under stand. And, one other thing" his eyes twinkled warningly, you will be her guest. No West Vir- ginia lady ever takes in boarders, or accepts the smallest charity, you know"
 "I'll not forget" Connie prom ised. They could hear movement inside the house now; a bolt shot back; the big door opened.
 A woman peered out, holding high a candelabrum; her head was wrapped in a lacy cap; her huge person enveloped in a faded old flannel robe.
 well, we'll" her face fairly beamed. Eff it isn't Breton. And someone else with you? That's nice. Come in, come in!"
 She might have been clothed in the finest raiment, receiving royalty, her manner was so warm and hos pitable, so dignif1ed and sincere.
 Bret performed the introduc- tions; explained the delay that caused them to arrive so late, and that Miss Blyn was to help in the camp office. He said he hoped she would find that she could take Miss Blyn in, and make her feel at home.
 "As if a friend of yours would not be heartily welcome!" There was reproach in the small, merry eyes; they rested on him with motherly affection. That is more than enough for me. I'd be right happy to have you, as my guest, Miss Blyn. I'll have Eloise show you to the south room; you'll find it the most pleasant And if you'd like to wash up, my boy, I'll see what I can do, meantime, about bit of something warm. You both must be famiShed!"
 No need to bother!" Bret pro- tested. "I'll go on over to the hotel, see if they've still held my same room ."
 You'll do no such thing!" Mrs. Parson reproved him. She acted as though being disturbed at mid- night, and preparing bite to eat for her guests, was an ordinary occurrence.
 A girl had come down the stairs as far as the landing. She, too, wore faded, plain wrapper; but
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-14

she was very pretty girl. Con- nie had never seen such hair. It hung, like a cloak of glory, nearly to her waist; it was the color of burnished copper.
 Come on down, Eloise," her mother called. "Its Bret, come home. I reckon you all won't be sorry to hear that!" Her voice held a teasing note; her chins shook with suppressed laughter. He's brought 8 friend - which should please you as well, since there are few girls your own age and kind to make friends with :. Come on down. Bid them both welcome"
 The girl came down, though somewhat reluctantly. She started to hold out slim hand toward Bret, but he laughed, bent his head, gave her cheek brief caress. "Why so formal!" he chided. T don't believe you're one bit glad I'm back" Then to Con- nie: "Eloise and I grew up to- gether; she's practically the same as my own sister. As Aunt Ber- tha said I, too, hope you girls will become great friends"
 Connie extended hand: the girl accepted it, murmured a quiet greeting. But there was no well come in her face, not much friend lineSs. Connie knew the reason. This was the girl whose heart would have been broken, as the old mountain woman had said, had Bret Hardesty brought home a bride.

 Thus the Potato State" of the Baltic swings back into. the news almost for the first time since establishing republic after the World War. But by no means have the Estonians been inactive.
 Chiefly an agricultural state, Es- tonia is steadily building toward national security and self-suffi- ciency. So successful has become potato growing in the northern section that Estonia has already been dubbed the Potato State." At the same time textile, lumber and paper mills, oil refineries and cement and cellulose factories are being developed.
 Over the docks of Tallinn, the largest port and city and also the capital, flow increasing Estonian exports these days-cotton and woolen fabrics, timber, paper, flax, potatoes and dairy products. Chief imports are coal, iron and steel. But Estonia is cutting down on coal, utilizing meanwhile the nat ural peat bogs of the country.
