THE ENCHANTED BARN
copyright 1918, by 1. B. JLlppincott Co.
Mrs. Hollister arouse and came
forward to meet them.
She was dressed in a plain lit
tle gown of cheap gray challis,
much washed and meipled, but
looking somehow very nice; and
Carol had just finished fasten
ing one of Shirley’s sheer white
fluffy collars around her neck,
with a bit of a pink ribbon looped
in a pretty knot. Her hair was
tastefully arranged, and she
looked every inch a lady as she
stood to receive her unexpected
guests. Graham had never seen
her in any but invalid’s garb
before, and he stood amazed for
a moment at the likness between
her and Shirley. He introduced
his mother with a few words, and
then yielded to Doris’s eager,
pulling hand and went out to see
tho bunnies.
The situation was a trifle try
ing for both ladies, but to the
woman of the world perhaps the
more embarrassing. She hadn’t
a clew as to who this was she
had been brought to see. She
was entirely used to dominating
any situation, but for a moment
she was almost confused.
Mrs. Hollister, however, tact
fully relieved the situation with
a gentle, “Won’t you sit here by
il. _ n Ti •..ill__ „ lGil„
bUU i 11 C I X Li 111 gni/blUg l*
cool this evening, don’t you
think?” and put her at once at
her ease. Only her family would
have guessed from the solf pink
spots in her cheeks that she was
at all excited over her grand
guest. She took the initiative
at once, leading the talk into na
tural channels, about the spring
and its wonderful unfolding in
the country, exhibited, a vasei
with jaek-in-th e-pul p}ts, and a
glass bowl of hepaticas blushing
blue and pink, told of the thrush
that had built a nest in the elm
flnf',pmnftlt* tmt
the view over the valley where
the sinking sun was flashing
crimson from the weather vane
on the little white spire of the
church. She said how much they
had enjoyed the sunsets since
coming outjhere to live, taking it
for granted that her visitor knew
all about their circumstances, and
making no' apologies or cont
inents ; and the visitor, being
what her son called “a good
sport,.” showed no hint that she
had never heard of the Ilollistera
before but smiled and said the
right thing at the right moment.
And somehow, neither knew just
how, they got to the subject of
Browning and Ibsen, and from
there to woman’s suffrage, and
when Graham returned * with
Carol and Harley, Doris chatter
ing beside him and the dog
bounding in ahead, they were in
future politics. Graham sat and
listened for a while, interested to
note that the quiet little woman
who ha4 spent the last few years
of her life working in a narrow
dark city kitchen could talk as
thmigkif ulljMjnd sensibly .as his ...
cultured, versatile mother.
The next trolley brought Shir
ley and George, and again the
mother was amazed to find how
altogether free and easy seemed
to be the relation between all
these young people.
i i i i m •
one gave a jvucu iuuiv at oim*
ley, and then another at her son,
but saw nothing which gave her -
uneasiness. The girl was uncon
scious as a rose, and sweet and
gracious to the stranger guests
as if she had been in society all
her life. She slipped away at
once to remove her hat, and when
she came back her hair was
brushed, and she looked as fresh
as a flower in her clean white
i uffled blouse. The older wom
an could not take her eyes from
her faoe. What a charming girl
to be set among all this shabbi
ness! For by this time her dis
criminating eyes had discovered
that everything—literally every
thing was shabby. Who were
these people, and how did they
happen to get put here? The
baby was ravishingly beautiful,
the girls were charming, and the
boys looked like splendid, manly
fellows. The mother was a prod
uct of culture and refinement.
Not one word or action had
shown that she knew her sur
roundings were shabby. She
might have been mistress of a
palace for aught she showed of
consciousness of the pitiful pov
erty about her. It was as if she
were just dropped down for the
day iu a stray barn and making
a palace out of it while she
stayed.
) Unconsciously the woman of
the world lingered longer than
; was her wont in making calls.
"S—““
Slie liked the atmosphere, and
was strangely interested by them
all.
“I wish you would come and
see me,” she said cordially as she
rose at last to go, and she said it
as if she meant it—as if she lived
right around the corner and not
22 miles away—as if she really
wanted her to come, and not as
if this othqr woman lived in a
barn at all.
'“Good old sport!” commented
her son in his heart as he list
ened. He had known she must
see their worth, and yet he had
been strangely afraid.
Mrs. Hollister received the in
vitation with a flush of pleasure.
“Thank you,” she answered
graciously, “I’m afraid not. I
seldom go anywhere any more.
But I’ve been very glad to have
had this call from you. It will
be a pleasure to think about.
Come sometime again when you
are out this way. Your son has
been moat kind. I oannot find
words to express my thanks. ’ ’
“Has he?” and his mother
looked questionably at her son.
“Well, I’m very glad-” •
“Yes, and Elizabeth! She is a
dear sweet girl, and we all love
her!”
Revelations!
un, nas Jilizabeth been here
too? Well, I’m glad. I hope she
has not been a nuisance. She’s
such an impulsive, erratic child.
Elizabeth is quite a problem just
now. She’s out of school on ac
count of her eyes, and her girl
friends, most of them, being
'away at school, she is perfectly
forlorn. I am delighted to have
her with your children. I am
sure they are charming associates
for her.” And her eyes rested
approvingly on the sparkling
Carol in her simple school dress
of brown linen with its white
collar and cuffs. There was
nothing countrified about Carol.
She looked dainty in the common
est raiment, and she smiled radi
antly at Elizabeth’s mother and
won her heart.
“Would you let Elizabeth stay
overnight with us here some
time?” she asked shyly.
‘ ‘ Why, surely! I presume she
would be delighted. She does
about as she pleases these days.
I really don’t see very much of
her, I'm so busy this time of year,
just at the end of the season, you
know, and lots of committee
meetings and teas and things.”
Tt«*y stopped at the doorway
to look up into the big tree, in
response to the earnest solicita
tions of Doris, who pulled at the
lady’s gloved hand insistently,
murmuring sweetly:
“ Budie 1 Budie! See mine
budie in the twee!”
The Hollisters stood grouped
at the doorway when at last the
visitors got into their car and
went away. Mrs. Graham looked
back at them wistfully.
t n trrrply -rr*ottp
make!” she murmured. “Now,
Sidney, tell me at once who they
are and why they live in a barn,
and why you brought me out
here. I know you had some spe
cial object. I knew the minute
l saw tnat cnarmmg woman.
“Mother, you certainly are
great! I thought you’d have the
good sense to see what they are.”
“Why, I haven’t spent a more
delightful hour in a long time
than I spent talking- with her.
She has very original ideas, and
she expresses herself well. As
for the children, they are lovely.
That oldest girl has a great deal
of character in her face. But
what are they doing in a barn,
Sidney, and how did you come to
know them?”
And so, as they speeded out
the smooth turnpike to their
lovely home Sidney Graham told
his mother as much of the story
of Shirley Hollister and the old
barn as he thought she would
care to know, and his mother sat
thoughtfully watching his hand
some, enthusiastic face while he
talked, and wont1 -ring.
One comment she made as they
swept up the beautiful drive to
their luxurious country home:
“Sidney dear, they are delight
ful and all that, and I’m sure I’m
glad to have that little girl come
to see Elizabeth, but if I were
you I wouldn’t go out there too
often when that handsome oldest
girl is at honre. She’s not exact
ly in your set, you know, charm
ing as she is, and you wouldn’t
want to give her any ideas. A
gentleman looks out for things
like that, you know.”
“What his being in our set
got to do with it, mother dear?
[ Do you know any girl in our set
that is better looking or has nicer
manners, or a finer appreciation
of nature and books? You ought
to hear her talk !”
“Yes, but, Sidney, that isn’t
everything! She isn’t exact
ly-•”
“Mother, were jrou and father,
when you used to have good
times together? Now, mother,
you know you are just talking
twaddle when you let that idea
about ‘our set’ rule your mind.
Be a good sport, motmT dear,
and look the facts in the face.
That girl is.as good as any other
girl I know, and you know it.
She’s better than most. Please
admit the facts. Yet you never
warned me to be careful about
calling on any of the girls in our
set. Do please be consisteflt.
However, don’t worry about me.
I 've no idea at present of paying
any special attention to any
body,’’ and he swung the car
door open and jumped down to
help her out.
CHAPTER XV.
A man arrived one morning
with a horse and a plough and
several other implements of farm
life of which Harley didn’t know
the name, and announced that
Mr. Graham had sent him to
plough the garden. Would Mrs.
Hollister please tell him where
she wanted the ground broken,
and how much? He volunteered
the information that he was her
next neighbor, and that if he was
in her place he’d plough the south
slope of the meadow, and if she
wanted flower beds a strip along
the front near the road; the soil
was best in those spots, and she
wouldn’t need so much fertilizer.
Mrs. Hollister asked'Vim how
much he would charge to do it,
and he said a little job like that
wasn’t worth talking about; that
he used to rent the barn himself,
and he always did a little turn
for Mr. Graham whenever he
needed it. He did it for Mr.
Graham, and it wouldn’t cost her
; “nothin’.”
TNT nn nTriTl?nfn« nr>Vnrl li i m Vi nnr
much he would charge to see
where it would be best to have
the ploughing done, and when
she came in a few minutes later
and dropped down on the couch
to rest from her unusual fatigue
a new thought was racing
through her mind. They coulct
have a garden, a real garden,
with lettuce and green peas and
lima beans*and corn! She knew
all about making them grow.
She had been brought up in a lit
tle village home, where a garden
was a part of every one’s neces
sary equipment for living. She
used to help her father every
spring and all summer. Her own
little patch always took the prize
of the family. But for years she
had been in the city without an
inch of space. Now, however,
the old fever of delight in gar
dening took possession of her. If
she could get out and work in the
ground, as the doctor had sug
gested, she would get well right
away. And why, with Harley to
help, and George and Carol to
work a little every evening,
couldn’t they raise enough on all
that eround to seliiwomttf Gemnye
could take things into town early
in the morning, or they could
find some private families who
would buy all they had to sell.
It was worth thinking about,
anyway. She could raise flowers
for sale, too. She had always
been a success with flowers. She
had alvvavs wanted a hothouse
and a chance to experiment. She
heard the children say there
were some old window sashes
down under the barn. She would
get George to bring them out,
and see what she could do with
a coldframe or two. Violets
would grow under a coldframe,
and a lot or othei; things. Oh, if
they could only just live here al
ways, and not have to go back to
the city in the fall! But of course
there was no way to heat the
barn in winter, and that was out
of the question. Nevertheless,
the idea of making some money
with growing things had seized
hold of her mind and would not
be entirely put by. She thought
of it much, and talked of it now
and then to Shirley and the oth
er children.
Shirley brought home some
packages of seeds she got at the
10-eent store, and there was great
excitement planting them. Then
Mr. Graham sent over a lot of
seeds, of botl? vegetables and
flowers, and some shrubs, cut
tings and bulbs which he said
were “left-overs” at their coun
try house that he thought per
haps the children could use; and
so before the Hollisters knew it
they were possessed of a garden,
which almost in a breath lifted
up its green head and began to
grow.
Life was very full for the Hoi
listers in those days, and those
who went to the city for the day
could hardly bear to tear them
selves away from the many de
lights of the country. The puppy
was getting bigger and wiser
every day, tagging Doris and
Harley wherever they went, or
sitting adoringly at Mrs. Hollis
ter’s feet; always bounding out
to meet the evening trolley on
which George and Shirley came,
and always attending them to
the trolley in the morning.
Out behind the barn a tiny
coop held a white hen and her
seven little downy balls of chick
ens. Another hen was happily
ensconced in a barrel of hay with
10 big blue duck eggs under her
happy wings, and a little further
down toward the creek a fine
chicken run ended in a trig little
roosting place for the poultry,
which George had manufactured
out of a packing box and some
boards. The feathered family had
been increased by two white Leg
horns and three bantams. George
and Harley spent their evenings
watching them and discussing
the price of eggs and chickens
per pound. They were all very
happy.
Elizabeth came out to spend
Sunday as she promised. She got
up early to see the sun rise and
watch the birds. She helped get
breakfast and wash the dishes.
Then she went with the others
across the fields to the littlft
white church in the valley to
Sunday school and church. She
was so hungry and eager as any
of them when she came home, and
joyfully helped to do the work,
taking great pride in the pota
; toes she was allowed to warm up
under careful tutelage. In the
afternoon there was no more
eager listener among them to the
Bible story Shirley told to Doris
and the book she read aloud to
them all afterward; her voice
was sweetest and clearest of them
all in the hymns they sag to
gether; and she was most eager
to go with Shirley to the Chris
“I shouldn’t wonder if Sidney

marked dreamily tnatit vening, as
she sat before theEflSi*e m a little
cushion, her chinwKU hr hands,

She went to school .vith Carol
the next morning, fame home
with her in the afternoon, and
when her brother cauie for her in
the evening she Wf,s|most reluc
tant to go home to he big, lonely,
elegant house ag;i .n, and begged
that Carol might soon come and
see her.
Friday after noon Elizabeth
called up Mrs. JBjgfeter.
“Please, M' sjg Hollister, let
Carol come ami miy with me till
Monday. I’m so lonesome, and
mamma says : he will be so glad
if you will letiher come.”
“Gh, my dear,ghat would be
impossible, Jaro|! isn ’t suitably
dressed to .lake a visit, you
know,” answered the mother
quickly, glad that she had so
good an ex . use, for keeping her
child from his venture into an
alien work! ibout which she had
many grave# dqubts.
uu£ v°ice at the oth
er ceu v. cj insistent. —
“Dear Mrs. Hollister, please!
She doesn’t need any other
clothes. I’ve got lots of things
that would fit her. She loaned
me her gingham dress to make
garden in, and why shouldn’t I
loan her a dress to wear on Sun
day? I’ve got plenty of clean
miHrlv finH srlrirt.s Pfin
fix her all out fresh for school,
too, Monday morning, and if a„
you’ll just let her stay Sidney
will take us both down to her
school when he goes to the office.
You’ve got all those children
there at home, and I’ve only my
self. Sidney doesn’t count, you
know, for lie’s grown up.”
So, with a sigli, the mother
gave her consent, and Carol
found the Graham car waiting
for her when she came out of
school. Thus she started on her
first venture into the world.
It was all like fairy-land that
wonderful week-end to the little
girl whose memories were full
of burdens and sacrifices; the
palatial home of many rooms and
rich furnishings, the swarm of
servants, the anticipation of
every want, the wide, beautiful
grounds with all that heart could
wish in the way of beauty and
amusement, the music room with
grand piano, harp, and violin ly
ing mute most of the time, the
great library with its walls lined
with rare books, mostly unread.
Everything there to satisfy any
whim, reasonable or unreason
able, and nobody using any of it
muon.
