Hi ever thar was a pair cat out fer

"Well. Lo can't; an' that ain't nil.

west to stay."
"The boy Las always talked it." Ab
ntr siehed sympathetically. "He feels
tied down here an cramix-d. an' thinks
Le could do wonders in a new country.
I was that way myself once. It nets
in nearly every youue feller's bloed
sooner or later."
The woman's shoulders shook, her
breast Leaved. "I simply can't stan l
to Lave 'im fro." she faltered. 'He'.-,
all I trot in the world. He's headstrong
an' Lot temj-cred. I wouldn't rest a
minute after Le left. Id rather be
dead than live on here with his pa
without him. I'm talkin' plain."
"I understand." Abner said. "Thai
is, I think I fret your meanln". Most
folks know how harsh an" cold Hiram
is. with all Lis cut an' dried n-lieion
lie don't know ir. but he's harmin' hi

They had turned and were walkiiis
toward her house, the low. uray roof
of which could be seen above the ap

"I'm irn-iu to speak plainer than 1
have ever done to a human soul," she

"The thine Las kn -. ked me out, too."
Abner said seriously. "Everybody

lie's ambitious to do so met him: biir in

Ilillhouse takes the credit for every

"That is a noted fact," Abner said.
"Ilihheuse is on his last lo He is
too old fashioned for this rapid aire.
"Ef vim don't mind I'll talk to your
husband a little about Howard.' Ab
ner continued. "I d-.u't know that it
will he'p mr tters. Put thar may be no
harm in t ry in'."
"I wi.-h you would." Mrs. Tinsley
said. Eeavinir him at the door, she
entered the Lou-e. Her husband had
not noticed their approach and now
walked to a ben.-h at the side of the
house, whu-h 1 -M a wahtub and a
