Thf sbanty. almost tbe one brown spot ha the tumbling wilderness of grass. small and dingy and redolent of the tar paper that covered its sides. Prom IU one tile chimney there falt red a- thin column of smoke that struggled weakly for a moment and then sunk Co tbe ground, bringing In lta midst a obewer of aoot that touched lit re and " Uier with grimy fingers. Over tbe wttite-rurtaiaed window ran a vine, ' twlatag about tbe decaying sash In a luxuriant profusion or foliage, heavy with badded promise. One soriz. bold- ' r than Miff rrrt atnrtchtd Its lrDgtb of ; - tender green s cross to tbe door, and " hung tar down, swinging in tbo wind and holding out lta curling tendrils, ' tike tlay fingers, in wistful greeting to ' the woman below. A row of lusty sun- owrs ran from tbe bouse to tbe ftnw-thatcbeu barn, holding up their otfd facts for a klaa frombe sun na4 forgetting entirely tbe timid devo tion of the morning glories that wound ; about, their sturdy limbs and climbed ' algb up to offer to tbetr unbending mas- ia taate of morning dew from their i of scarlet and gold. A ben, fussy " with tbe Teoponslbllltiea of an over-tc-go family, basked iu tbe warm earth and Wtn-ked unheeded warnings to ber alowcy brood. Xb woman took off ber bat and laid at beildt ber. Tbe breeee, fresh with the amell of ripening wheat, blew onto er ifoeek and lingered to coax a stray vlagfet Into ber eyes. A gray squirrel thataad run from hla burrow to snatch few crumbs paused to note ber dls eaaaatate attitude and perked bla bead ta laquajtive wonder. A little way fro mt be bouse the railroad crossed tbe farm la a long stretch of yellow clay. Borne times Aunette bad sat on tbe ties ! looked longingly Into tbe glimmer lagdlaunce from whence she had come ; ana wished that she could go back, and thea grew afraid of berself that sbe oul4 make such a wish. She remem- bered now, bow, from the flying train ha' had looked out upon a cluster of : buildings huddled close together 'for warmth, It seemed, and easily won-! fcered tjw a person could live In suoh f m Dlace. and afterwards, when s ..i.t sue found It was to be ber home and Jack', ahe felt with a sudden .sinking of the "heart how dreary her iife must become.

Iu tUe morning be hurried to the fields, he hur ried from the table, at night be hur ried to bed that he misht be the early riser that the next day's labors demand ed. Thus it was, per bap, that he did not notice the shadows that deepened in her eye. At first, with a tittle en couragement, she would have told him all and cried It out on bia shoulder, aud, perhaps, together they might have learned the lesson of endurance. But now her heart bad crusted over and hid beneath its surface ber sorrow. Suf fering, doubt, grew in noxious luxuri ance in ber soul's garden and threat ened to choke out timid lore. For this she blamed him. She said, over and over to berself. that be did not cjire. and then, out of loyalty to him, denied it, but at last, against her will, she bad admitted the truth of the accusation. Finally she bad told it to the dog and wept into big shaggy mane, and he bad listened gravely and with Infinite pa tience, and licked her-; hand In foud sympathy. But of late it seemed to ber that he bad deserted ber cause, and, as if to reprove ber discontent and set an example of fidelity, left ber aide to fol low bis master all the day long. , And it bad come to this! She would answer the pleadings of ber soul; she would leave him. She would go home, back to noise and bustle and life; back to friends and Tolcefol companionship. Strengthened with sudden resolution. eb? sprang to ber feet and looked at the ciock. mere was time to eaten the down train. She had money of ber own, the remains of ber spinster sav ings. She would take the pony and leave at the postoffice a note that would explain the story of it all to Jack- With ne-vons -fingers she set about tidying the room. When this task was finished she placed upon the table Jack's lutieb- eoa- noting with a tender smile some of tbe things sbe bad brought wltb ber and which sbe was about to leave (lie dainty tea urn. the sugar and cream holders that Jack had laugbed at for their amallness, tbe cap witb a brokqa handle that was reserved for btm be cause of its size and solidity. Wbn tbe table waa set sbe corered It wttb a pink net, and turned to . lay out ber pretty traveling dreo that sbe bad worn but once before. The train pulled Iu with a rattle and clang of brakes and sbe dimbed atoard and saw tbe bouse fade out of sight lie hind ber. Presently, with a shock of ; rerollectton, sbe sat np and powsed br face to tbe pane. Tbe traiu was paw ing through their farm.

A't lat there was Jack In the J hayfield; he waved bis bat gsyly aud tbe horses looked backward over thWr shoulders at their flying rival. With a frightened gasp Annette shrank Into the cushions.
