(Continued From Yeeterday.) ".Which ain't answering where •ha is.” "So ’tain t:" said Mickey, starting the machine. “Well If you’l line up, I'll show you.' Train your peep ers down that green subway, and on out to glory as presented by the ' Almightly in this particular stretch of country, and just beyond your cows there you'll see a spot about as big as Bobhle. and that will be your nice lady heading straight for-sun rise. She said sh'd wanted to go for 15 years, but there always had been churning, or baking, or something, so this morning, as there wasn't a thing but what 1 could do as good as she could, why we made it up that I'd finish her work and let her see her sunrise, since she seems to be set on it: and when she gets back she’s going to wash and dress Lily for a change. Strange how women folks get discouraged on their job. among their best friends, who would do anything in the world -for them, 'cept just to see that a little bit of change would help then). It will be a dandy scheme for Lily, ’cause It lets her get her sleep out, and H will he good for you. ’cause if Mrs. Harding doesn't get to sit under that apple tree and watch sunup pretty soon, things are going to go wrong at this house.” Peter's jaw slowly sagged. "If you don't hurry,” said Mickey, "even loving her like you do, and lov ing you as she does, she’s going to have them nervous prostrations like thp swell dames in Multiopolls get when they ask a fellow to carry a package, and can’t remember where they want to send It. She's not there yet. She’s ahead of them now, tor she wants to sit under that apple tree and watch sunup; but if she had n’t got there this morning or soon now. she'd a-begun to get mixed, I could see that plain as the city hall." "Mickey, what else can you see?” asked Peter. "Enough to make your head swim,” •aid Mickey. “Out with It!” ordered Peter. ”\VelI." said Mickey gravely, and seemingly Intent on the separator, but covertly watching Peter, “well, if you'd a-cut that window she's wanted for fifteen years, right over her table there where the line comes, she could a-been seeing that particular bit of glory—you notice He ter, that probably there's nothing niftier on earth than just the little spot she’s been pining for; look good yourself, and you'll •ee, there she's climbing the hill to the apple tree—look at It carefully, and then step Inside and focus on What else she’s faced Instead.’’ "What else does shg want?” in quired Peter. “She didn’t mention anything but to watch sunup, just once, under that apple tree,” said Mickey. "I don’t know what she wants; but from one day here, I could te*l you things she should have." "Well go ahead and tell,’’ said Pe ter. "Will you agree not to break my neck ’til I get this cream In the can, and what she keeps strained, and these buckets washed?" asked Mickey. ”1 want to have hen job all done when she gets back, 'cause I prom ised her, and that'e quite a hike she’s taking.” "Well T was ’rHed’ for a minute, hut I rtiight as well hold myself,’’ ■*aid Peter, "books like you were rigl»t.” “Strangers coming In can always see things that folks on the job can’t,” cpnsoled Mickey. “Well go on and tell me what you've seen here, Mickey!” Mickey hoisted the fourth bucket. “Well, I’ve seen the very nicest lady I ever saw, excepting «ny mother,” said Mickey. “I’ve seen a tnan 'bout your size, that I like bet ter than any man I know, barring Mr. Douglas Bruce, and the bar Is such A little one It would take a microscope to find It.” Peter laughed, which was what Mickey hoped he would do. for h« drew a deep breath and went on with great er assurance: "I’ve seen a place that I thought was a new edition of hea ven, and It is. only it needs a few modern improvements—” “Yea* Mickey! The window, and what else?” “You haven't looked at what I told you to about the window yet,” slid Mickey. "Well, since you insist on it, I will." said Peter. “And while you are in there,” aug gested Mickey, “after you finish with that strip of brown oilcloth and tho pans and skillets adorning it. cotton up to that cook stove, and imagine standing over it while it is roarlivr, to get three meals a day. and all the baking, fruit canning, boiling clothes, and such, and tell me If Lily's bed was in *o much hotter a place than your wife ie, all but about three hours each day.” Mickey listened as intently as he could for the separator he dared not ■top, heard not a sound for what seemed a long time, and then came amazing ones. He grinned sympa thetically as Peter emerged red-faced and raging. “And you’re about the finest man f ever met. too," commented Mickey, still busy with the cream. "You can aee what a romfrrt this separator must be- but It's the only thing your nice la*ly has got, against so many for .our work it takes uuite a large build ing to keep them In. Junior was showing me last night and tellimcrne what all those machines were made for. You know, Peter, if there was money for a hay rake, and a manner spreader, and a wheel plow, and a llak, and a reaper, and a mower, and a corn planter, and a corn cutter, and a cider press, and a windmill, and a silo, and an automobile—you know-. Peter, there should have been enough for that window, and the pump in side, and a kitchen sink, and^a bread mixer, and a dish washer; and if there wasn’t any other single thing, there ought to be some way you sell th^ woqd, and use the ntoneyi for the kind of'a sumfher stove that's only hbt finder what you are cooking, and turns off the flame the minute you finish. Honest there had Peter! 1 got a little gasoline one in my room that’s better than what your nice lady has. The things she should have would cost something, cost a lot for all I know, but I bet what she needs wouldn’t take half the things in the building Junior showed me did; and it couldn’t be the start of what a sick wife, and doctor bills, and strange women coming and going, And abus ing you and the children would oust-” “Shut up!” cried peter. “That will do! Now you listen to me, young man. Since you are so expert at see ing things, and since you've traded work with my wife, to rest her by changing her Job. suppose you Just keep your eyes open, rilid make out a list /if what she should have to do her work convenient and easy as can lie, and of course, comfortably. That stove's hot yet! And breakfast been o4er an hour, too! Nothing like it must lie going full blast, and things steaming and frying"’ “Sure!" said Mickey. "Watch a few days,Vital then we'll talk it over. If it is your train time, ride down with Junior, and I'll stay In the house till she cornea, r guess l.lttle White Butterfly won't wake up; and if she does, she'll he nil tight with nte. Mary dresses herself and Bobbie. I" Mary helping her ma right?"___ "Well, some," said Mickey. "Not all she could! But her taking care of Bobble Is a big thing Junior couhl do a lot of things, but he doesn’t seern to sec them, and-” "And so could I?” asked Peter. "I* that thp ticket?" "Yes," said Mickey. "Ail right, young man," said Peter. "Fix us over! We are ready for any thing th;U will l>enpfit Ma. She.'s the plnwheel of tftjs plarg. Now you scoot! I can see tier coirting.” ■It* our secret, then?' asked Mickey. "yes. it's our secret!' answered Pe ter gravely. (Continued In The Morning Bee.)
