her. She was deeply fond OF Uncle
Jim. He was a big, chuckling man,
with an amusing eye. He lived alone
in the cabin by the pond, stayed
there sometimes for months on end,
disappeared sometimes for as long.
He wrote, absurdly, poems.
When she came to the top of the
knoll, he was still asleep. His cabin
door was open; and he woke when
she darkened the doorway-woke
and looked up and said: 'Hullo,
there, youngster!"
Hello, Uncle Jim she said.
He sat UP, in yellow pajamas,
and rubbed his eyes. "You caught
me mapping" he chuckled. 81 was
awake till dawn. Writing a poem
about a thunderstorm"
She stood beside the cabin door,
her back against the logs, looking
down toward the pond while he
dressed hurriedly in the cabin be-
hind her. He talked steadily, cheer
fully; but she spoke not at all, until
Uncle Jim, remarking her long si-
lence, said behind her:
.Tongue-tied this morning, June.
What's the matter?"
Mothers dead" she said sim
ply.
Something dropped to the floor, in
the cabin, and silence trembled
there. Then Uncle Jim cleared his
throat. .Dead?" he whispered.
"Yes," she told him.
He came close to her shoulder.
''Kitty Leaford dead?" he repeated,
in an incredulous tone.
She turned her head alertly. There
was sound in the wood; the sound
of voices, then footsteps.
Someone's coming" she said.
He started to speak, then stood 81
lently beside her in the doorway;
and thus they faced the two men
who climbed the trail.
A young man came in front; and
now the color flowed across June's
cheek and burned there, for she
knew him. She looked past him
quickly, at his companion. This was
a plump, white-haired old man who
walked with a surprisingly alert
step, his hands swinging at his sides.
Uncle Jim passed her and inter-
posed himself between her and these
newcomers; and he said casually:
''Hullol"
The young man extended his
hand. ''I'm Clint Jervies," he ex-
planned. 'This is Mr.. Tope." He
turned to the girl. you're Miss
Leaford, aren't your"
She nodded slowly, without words.
She was trembling.
Uncle Jim asked with narrowing
eyes: "Al right. What of it,"
And Clint said, in swift, friendly
fashion: ''Why, you see, I hap
pened to be passing, last night, in
time to give Miss Leaford a lift. And
wanted TOTO make sure she was
all right this morning heard
about your mother" he added, turn
ing toward June. "I'm awfully sor-
ry."
June felt the strength 60 out of
her. There was a bench built
against the cabin front, and she
sat down as though her knees gave
way.
Uncle Jim turned to her with q
quick solicitude. "June! Are you
ill?" he whispered. "Are you all
right" 4
Quite" she said, and tried to
smile. 'sLet me rest a minute"
Her cheeks were drained white;
she seemed to droop forward. He
held her; and Tope said: L
'sShe's fainting, Mr.. Glovere. Put
her head down"
But the girl recovered, straight
ened up again; and Glovere said:
"Wait minute. can do better. -
He disappeared, came out with q
flask and tumbler. She choked and
gasped and sputtered, but her color
did return.

WRONG STOP

The chief engineer and the master
mechanic had spent the evening to-
gether. For obvious reasons, the
master mechanic was a little hest
tant about going home.
''I'n tell you what to do If you
don't want to disturb your wife, .
said the chief. 'When you get in
the house, undress at the foot of the
stairs, fold your clothes neatly, then
creep quietly up the steps to your
own room"
They met the next morning al
the plant. "How did you get on?"
asked the chief.
Rotten" replied the master me-
chanic. II did just as you told me.
I folded my clothes neatly. / crept
quietly up the stairs. But when
reached the top-it was the elevated
station!''
