aud si|','liily confused way from be¬ hind her glasses, ".Mr. llnyes and I were Just talking some of them over tonight, niul he seems so interested lu seeing me instltnte some of the most lmi>ortHat ones, lion- .ould you have •ver thought such a man as he Is lack ' Inff in Merioiisiiess of pur|)ose, dear';!" ) "I feel sure Ihal It wrh lust mv own

"It iiniy have been that." .lane an¬ swered in a most iiaivel.\ relieved lone of voice. "Hut you don't know how happy I am. dear, to see thirt that streak Is unly an occasional ch;iriiiin,'i vein that shows in you, but that you are now setllliig down steadily lo yon:' profession. I feel sure that when the.se i.'ardeii drawings are dune you and Mr. IImII will have I'oiind your correct pla es In encli oilier's |i\e>;, and it will be .hist a sjlori i',4.-i exaiup'e of how siiiierl.ly a iiifiii I'.nd woman can werk |o-.;etlier nt the sane pro¬ fession, Mr. Hardin an.I I we'c talk¬ ing about it .just last iii-.,'hl uut on t!ie side porch, nnd. tliuiiuh be siiid very little, I cuiild see how gratified lie wa ; at the l!ol|ol•,'^ that had iome to you and how iini'li lie likes .Mr. fl.-ill." That settled If. and I made nii mind thiii when Ihe harvest bnly us toiii'rlit to sink I-.ehiiid uld IIi' ¦ . she wasn't going to leave me we'!<.;¦ lonesome. She doesn't set until - o'clock, nnd I'm goiii'.' to take all I'le time 1  need.
And as serious and sulenin as I feel over taking sm h a step for two as 1 am deciding on I can't hel[i IooU'il' forward tu scribbling a terse and Im- personal account uf my having prup'.s- ed to the mtiii of my clioi'e in tliis strung miiiili'd book. !idding a fe-.v words of s ige advice for the flve. lo.k- Ing it and liaiiding it, key and all, to Jane, with ii drainnth; denuind that sh.- put her .«1(in,ii(io In the trust comii.in. boose the five from llose she bas had iu mind.
Then before she has had time to re.i.l It I am going sneaklly to get It bi k nnd blot or tear out some of the tliinv-: I have written. I can decide lai r what will be data nnd what will b' dangerous tu the cause.
"And you will be glad to have mo- come and live fur a tiirie In .vour boine life, dear?" .f.me recalled tue to th ¦ question in li.ind by saying wistfully. "I feel that I have never had su. 1; good fricii.ls liefore. anywhere ,'s these of yuiirs are to me. fCvelina." sic added.
That's one time I got .Tane I'ompiete- ly in my arms and .showed lier what a really good hugging means south of Mason and Di.xun's line. Frum later developujclits I am glad she had that slight initiation. It iiiiist have been servteenble to her Xew Kngland disjio- sltion. Then, .jnstiis I was going to ask some i of the plans she—and Polk-had iiiaiic, over came Cuusiii .Insmine. with Cuu.s- in .Vnnle and .Mary, with Mrs. Har¬ grove pulling iilong behind them. Tliey had coiue to see .lane, but I w:is al lowed to stay and have my breath knocked out '.y their mission.
Tt seems .lane had got a great bi.: book from some firm in Xijw Vork tli.u tells all abont herb growing ;ind bow dlffii ult it Is to get the ones nci'dcd for cundiment-S and [lerfumes and of¬ fering to buy first class lavender an I thyme and bergiimot nnd sweet rein aud things of that kind in any quanti¬ ties at a gouil [irice. She had shown it to the little ladles, who had be i secretly grieving at the sep.iration from their garden out on their poorly renteil f.iriii, und the lenveii had work¬ ed—on .Mrs flargrove also. They gc back to the .'arm and she with them. She had de. Ided on raising mint 'o both dry an.i ship fresh because he cf the g.i.v piijanias always like<l to bav It strong and fresh for the .Inlep of his ancesturs. i hope she won't forget to take tli.it pattern of .Tapauese extra.- tloii Willi her and make some for Trag now ami then, for It will save time. Horrois!

"Well. I dont know that I exactly metiul .Nell to take it all to heart," I answered without the slightest suspi¬ cion of wliat was comiug. •But I do think, Sailie, il would be uo murethjin honest, tearless and within a wumiin'- own greater rights."
".Mr. Haley was .saying the otliei evening that a woman's sweet ile pendence was a man's most iireciun- heriUigp," SaUle gently mused out on the atmos|iliere lliut was beginning to be pretty highly charged.
"r>uesn't a womiin have to deiiend on her husband's tonileii)es.s and care all of tho time—time she Is bearing a cbild. Sailie. even up lo the asafetida siioun crisis?" 1 asked, wilh my cheeks in a flame, but determined to stand my ground. "II di.es seem to me tbat na ture puU ber in ii position to demand so much support from him lu thu-^c times that she ought to rely on herseh when she can. esiiecinlly nn she is like ly to bring nn indefinite number ol such crises into their Joint e.ici.stence.' Sailie lauiilied, fur she reiiiembeie:l the high horse I hnd mounted on tin' subject of .Mamie and Ned Hall the : day after the iissembly dance.
And as 1 laiiglied suddenly n picture I had seen down at the Hull's llashe.l acruss my mind.    I had gone down b) : tell   .Mamie   something   Aunt  Augusta j wanle.l  her to jiroiiose next day at  .; meeting of the Eipiality letigne alx.ii! drinl.lni.'   ntiter   in   the   public   schui.; building.    Mamie has learned f.) m(il;e, with pink clu'elis and shlninu' eyes, the quaintest   little  speeches   that  ahvay- ciirry the house and even m;ide one at a public meeting xvhen we invited the men to hand uver our $'"0 for the mon uiiient.     .Ne.r.s  face  was a  picture  a-: he held a rul'le of her muslin gown be tween  his  tliiirers  while she stood   up to d'. it.
I'.iit Ihe picture thut I'aslied Ihromr'i my iiiiiid was dearer than tbat. aud 1 put it away in tliat Jewel box that I am going to ojieii some day for my own  man.
I'.utli   Mamie's  nurse  and  cook   hiid
gone  tu  the  third  funeral  of the s.'.i-
son. and Mamie was feiKlIng the entire
family in the b.'ick yard.    The hidillcs
were  sitting  In   a  row  along  the  toji
of the  ba.k  steps,  outing cookies ami
milk,   with   bibs   around   their   necks
from  the  twelve-year-old Jennie,   who
had lied ou hers for fun, down tu tli.'
chubby-kins next to the baby-and -Ma
mic   was  sitting  Uut un  the  gr;iss  in
front of them nursing little Ned,  with
big   .Ned   silting   beside   her   with   his
arm around both her and the baby.   He
was luuking llrst down into her face.
¦ aud then at lhe ip.lystriou.'j kiddie get
I ting   Ills   supper'   from   the   maternal
fouut. and tlien iit the handsome buiu b
on the steps, ;is he alternately muii. li
ed a bite of his ooky and fed Mamie
oue. to the delight of the children.   The I
expression 'ui his face as he looked at j
them and her and ute and laughed Is I
winit is bti.k of nil that goes to make |
the  .\meri"au  nation  tbe  greatest  on i
earth.    .Vmen! '
"Sailie." I said as I reached out and i
took  her  plump  white  hand  In  mine, j
"our  nun  ,ire  the  most  wonderful   in j
the w.irld. and they are ours any way j
we L'ct them.    They don't .-are how it ;
is done, and neither do we. just so we |
belong in the right way." j
•Then  you  don't think  it  would be I
nuy  barm for me to tell Mr. Haley  1 j
think I could live on $1,800 a year un- ;
til  he gets  sent to n  larger church?" ;
was  the bomb  that,  thus  eneonr;ii:ed. ,
Sailie explo.led In my face. |
I'm awfully glad that I didn't get ;' chance to answer, f.ir I don't wnnt r- be resiionsible for the future fallin-. : success of Mr. Haley's mlnistr:.. : ¦ then Henrietta burst into thu rooui j with the kitten iu her arms. |
"Keeo   Inr  for  me,   Fvellna,   please, i ma'am," sJic said, with the dearest lit¬ tle chuckle, but not forgetting tii^' p" lite "[(lease."  which  Jane had  bad  i Hnurgest to ber ju--t once.   What yiMr\ done fnr that wayward, unmauairi'iii 1 genius of a clilki, Jane, dear, makes you \ de.serve  ten   of  yonr  own.    That  Is-    I help!
"Cousia Augusta and Nell and Pickle •nd me Is ;i-going out to watch the nuui put the dyu'mite in the bole to blow lhe .reek right up, and Gleudaie too, BO Ihey can see il they is enough clean water to put In the waterworks,' •he comiu'ied to e.viilain. •'Nell is n-goiug to take tiickie iu her car, and Cou>ln .Vugu>tii Is a-going to take me and Uncle I'eler In her buggy. Dilsie kare got the Idt, and Cousin Marfy is a-walcliiug I.J see she dont .lo uuthiii:^ wrong with ber. Oh, tuny I go, Sailie'.- Jane said 1 must always ask you."
"Yes, deuii'st," answered HalUe. im mensely tlatieied by tliedei'.' .'no« tluis paid her.
"How W'.n'lerful un infhMu. c the lil tie talks .Mr Haley has had with Hen rteltu have hud on her!" she said, with •nch a happy glow un her face as the reformed one di'iiuried that I succeed •d in suppressing the laugh tlmt ros.. In me at the memory of Henrietta's ii. count of the first one ot the series.
Men ueed not feur that the time will ever come when they will cease to gei the  cr»'dlt   I'or  making  enrth's   wheels go around from the female Inh'ililtiints thereof.     So   I   smiled   to   myself  and buried my fn. e In the fragran.-e under the bubbly puppy gtrl's chin and ooa\ eil her arms tu clasp around my ne. U. They are tbe holy throb of a wom¬ an's    life — babies.      Less    than    ten wouldn't  siitlsfy  me  unless  well  scat tered  In  ages,  Jane.    On  some  qne-^ tions 1 am not modern.
"Still I do feel so miserable leaving Cousin James so alone all winter," Sal lie continued, with tbe most beautiful symiKithy In her voice as she louked out of the window toward Widegubles. "1 wonder If I ought t'u make up my mliiil to stay with him? Ho loves th ' chlidreu so, and you knosv the plan-' of Cousin Jasmine and the others to go biick to their farm."
"Hut   he'll  have his  mother  left,"   1 said   iniietlv.   but   verv  encouragingly.
1 seenuHl to see tne intie greSh teniiri; that had uinlasped from the oak turn ing on Its stem nnd winding tight agnin.
"Miss .Mathers was eucouragiui: Cousin .Marili.i to go to Colorado to see Eiizabeth and ber family for a lung visit this winter. Slie hasn't seen Eii/- ubetb since licr iiAtlnr dieii, and she was so mu.li interi'Sted in the easy way of traveling these days, as Miss Mathers des. ribed il, that she asked her to write for a time table and what a ticket costs, Just this morning. I really ouudit not to desert Cousin James."
"but think liow lonely Mr. Haley is down lu the parsoiiiige and of his in fluence on Henrietta." I urged.
"Yes, I do feel dniwu tn both ways," sighed  the  |ioor  under gourd.     ".\iid then you  will ho here by yourself, so you can  wal'li over Cousiu James ii much   as  y.-ur   work   will   allow   y.; can't you, Evi'linaV"
"Ves, I'll try to keep him from bei: too mu.'h^alone." i answered witli i most deceitful unconcern.
