CHAPTER XIV

Autumn walked across the grounds
70 the Willmar cottage, her wide
brirumed Ieghorn hat N her hand,
the light, warm wind blowing the
skirt of her white organdie dress
into billow about her. As she ap-
preached the cottage, three children
rose from the tail field of white dali
sizes that grew IN the hollow be-
tween the Castle and the foreman's
lodge. The Willmar brood-Dickie.
Simmy and Laura-started toward
her with excited cries, their hands
full Of the white daisies they had
been gathering. Trotting behind
them came the ubiquitous Mono,
still possessed of his woouy tail, and
bearing himself with considerably
more dignity than when he had gone
wandering with Simmy IN the early
Spring.
Autumn stopped and gathered the
children into her arms, then turned
and stretched her hand to rub Mo-
mos velvety nose.
Lara, the ten-year-old, pressed
her blonde head close against Au-
tumn's cheek and wound her arm
tightly about her neck.
Il don't want you to go way, Au-
tumn," she said, her voice full OF
pleading. Mamma says Wen have
to go away, too, if you 90. We don't
want to CO."
Autumn's eyes darkened with the
anxiety she had been feeling for
the past week Nonsense, dearI"
she protested. "You viii stay here
no matter where I Co."
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-03-21

Dickie and Simmy broke into a
duet of lament. 1--WE can't have
Mono any more. The man says
he's goin' to take Mono"
''Oh, you dear sillies!" Autumn
scolded them. No man is going to
take Mono. Come along, let's go
in and see mother"
With a warm Ittle-boy hand in
each of hers, and with Laura walk
ing sedately ahead of her and Mo
mo following closely behind, Autumn
proceeded to the Willmar cottage.
It was baking day for Mrs. VIII
mar. As Autumn entered the kitch-
en- with the children, the woman
turned from the table where she
had been rolling out cookie pastry.
The troubled look in her eyes
changed swiftly to a resolute smile
as she busted the -four from her
hands.
Good morning, Miss Autumn"
she said, brushing loose strand Of
pale hair back from her warm brow.
My goodness, you young ones
shouldn't hang on Miss Autumn's
dress that way! Don't let them do 1t.
Come away, Dickie-your hands are
a sight!"
Autumn laughed and rumpled
Dickie's hair. Hands and dresses
can be washed, can't they, Dickie?"
she said.
Mo-mo's hoofs clattered across the
kitchen floor to a basket of vegeta-
bles that stood In one corner.
'Simmy-look after Mono" Mrs.
Willmar sighed YEARLY, and wiped
her face with her apron. eff you
children can't mind that lamb he'll
have to be kept outside. He's get
ting too big to be in the house, any,
how"
When the children had logged the
sheep out of the house and had gone
romping into the yard, Autumn seat
ed herself beside the kitchen table
and Mrs. Willmar went on cutting
out the cookies with the cover of a
baking powder can.
Tom says you'll be leaving US
soon again, Miss Autumn" she said
quietly.
mot for another two weeks or
So" Autumn told her. There is a

Q MARTHA osrENso-wNu SERVICE

Late in the afternoon, when it
seemed no longer possible to cope
with her problems, Autumn went to
the rose garden to spend an hour
with her own thoughts among her
mothers flowers. She had been
there only a few moments when
Hannah called to her from the
house.
You're wanted on the telephone,
Miss Autumn" Hannah told her as
she came up the porch steps.
SIS it Mr.. Snyder?" Autumn
asked, with the overcoming,
breath-taking hope that this, at last,
might be Bruce calling.
ST don't know. It didn't sound
like him-though don't hear like I
once could"
Autumn went to the telephone and
picked up the receiver. The voice
was Florian PARIS. He had just
come back from his business trip
to Vancouver and insisted on Au-
tunnn's returning with him to Ke-
lowna. He had talked with Linda
on the telephone, he said, and it was
her fervent wish to have Autumn
down for a day or two so that she
might meet Linda's new fiance. Be-
sides, Linda was planning to go to

Pay the Piper

q When we're young we call the
tune and when we are older we
pay the piper, says Kathleen
Norris.
@ It's an unacceptable "fact of
life" Nobody else can carry
your cross for you. There's no
putting it down. That's why IA
theirs and mothers waste their
breath advising and warning. If
all the warnings and advice were
needed we'd have a wonderful
world in few generations. But
unhappily people go right on
making mistakes.
q And when the time comes to
pay up, the best thing to do is to
accept the bill and start paying.
G If it's money trouble, accord
ing to this writer, you have much
for which to thank God. For
many other troubles are worse.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Cool Foods.-Never put hot
foods into the refrigerator. Wait
until they have cooled.
If lemons are stored in a COW
cred jar in the refrigerator they
will not wither and shrink.
Treating New Broom.-If you
have bought a new broom you will
find it lasts longer if soaked In
warm water for few hours.
Shake off as much moisture as
possible and hang by the head to
dry.
Candied fruits and raisins for
buildings and cakes should be soft
ened by soaking overnight IN fruit
juice.
Labor Sayer.-Part of the pot
and pan washing job can be elm
mated by storing frying fat in
paper cups which can be discard
ed when empty.
Removing Fish Smell.-A little
vinegar and water scalded IN the
frying pan will take away any
smell of fish or onions. Wash the
pan afterwards in the ordinary
way.
Refreshening Taffeta Frock.-f
you want to refresh and restiffen
a taffeta frock, make a solution Of
one teaspoonful of borax dissolved
completely in half a pint of warm
water. Sponge this all over the
wrong side of the fabric. When
it is nearly dry iron on the wrong
side, using a fairly hot iron.
To remove the smudges from
utensils used over an open flame
rub with crumpled newspapers,
then apply a few drops of kero-
sene to the paper and rub the
kettle until it's clean. Wipe with
more dry papers. Do not let any
of the kerosene get inside the ket-
tie. If the smudge is not too thick,
it can be removed with a metal
pot scraper.

lot to do with Strengthening every
thing up In place like this"
"Ah, dear! I don't know what
we're going to dol"
Autumn glanced quickly at her
and saddened. Tom Willmar's wife
was wistful-eyed little woman who
had won her way back to health
when she had come to live here ten
years ago. The Dean ranch had
meant life itself to her. And now
the fear of being ousted from her
contentment and her modest secur-
ity haunted her eyes.
I've been wanting to talk to you
about that, Mrs. Willmar," Autumn
said gently.
The woman turned her face to-
ward her IN an utter hopelessness
that wrung Autunnn's heart.
Talking about it won't change
anything, I'm afraid, Miss Autumn"
she replied resignedly. Snyder was
talking to Tom last night IN town.
He's a hard man, that Snyder"
what was he saying, Mrs. Will
MARI" Autumn asked.
tom told him he'd like to stay
on here-it's been home to us for
over ten years now. But Snyder
says his clients, as he calls them,
have plans of their own and there
won't be any more place for US
here"
Autumn clasped her hands in her
lap. For days, ever since the eve
ming Of her last conference with
Snyder and the men who were con-
sidering the purchase of the ranch
with all its stock and equipment,
her mind had dwelt almost constant
ly upon the Willmars, and Hannah,
and poor old Absolom Peek, and the
others who had given their years of
faithful service to Jarvis Dean. At
the outset Of her negotiations with
Snyder, Autumn had supposed that
her fathers old dependents would
remain where they were and go
about their work as they had always
done. Hannah, OF course, would have
to be looked after, but Autumn had
already resolved to take her along
with her and make her remaining
years as comfortable as she could
In the service Of Aunt Flo. Snyder
had been as diplomatic as possible.
He was anxious to complete the sale
without delay and in manner that
would be quite satisfactory to both
parties to the transfer. When Au-
tumn had expressed her wish that
the staff should remain TO carry on
the work, Snyder had been unwill-
ing 70 commit himself. His clients,
of course, would have plans Of their
own. He would do what he could,
certainly, to bring them to accept
