Through
the Pantry
Window
J)y Claudinc Slssoti
On a rertnln ehlll October after
noon, which wan brightened only by
u flnro of erlmnon leaves on all the
maples and the over-present tangles
or aster and golden rod along th
bushy bnnks, KIhIh turned her horse,
in at a rickety picket Rate and dis
mounted before tho porch of a tiny,
shnbby, neglected house.
Tears came to HI tile's eyes, as she
thought of the dead woman who had
animated It with her kindly presence
She felt that she would like to go In
and look about and try in Imagination
to refui nlsh the abandoned rooms and
to pcoplo them with the gentle figures
that had once frequented them
The thin old horse, a freckled gray
from the livery stable In town, was
pulling at the reins in an effort to get
his nose to the grass Klsle Fought
for some place to make him secure
and lemembered thu little bam. If
the door was not nailed up she could
put him In there.
Thu door was not nailed up. It slid
open easily and she led the horse In
and tied him to the stall which had
held only cobwehs and hay and dust
for a long time. A little had re-

ety Gate.
mained In one corner. She canted
it to the horse, who received It as
eagerly as If it had been the freshest
of fodder. Then she went to the
bouse.
It was locked securely, she went
about trying the shutters. At last she
found one partly off the lilngeh
blown off hy a high wind, no doubt.
She swung It clear nnd put her hand
to the window underneath. To her
surprise. It raised as she pushed upon
it. She seemed to hear a familiar
voice saying In her ear:
"The ketch on that pantry window
needs fixing hud. but I can't seeni to
do it ism, ia! what dilfunice does It
make? Theie utii t no liuiglai com
ing in lieie for the little trash I've
got. If one did come In he'd ho Kal
enough to get out again, after I'd
given it to him good and lively with
that old pair of brass tongs I keep
handy lor the purpose."
Aunt llopo'o dear voice! Aunt
Hope's own remembered woids! And
this was the pantry window, ldsle
looked in. The tiny place was neat,
the cupboard doors shut; an old Iron
spider hung against the wall. It
looked perfectly natural and right,
quite as If aunt Hope hnd Just
stepped out. Clarissa .Mains, the
heiress, had left some things as they
should be.
The window sill wns only knee
high from the ground, and Klnl
climbed over it easily. She letdown
the window behind her. The floor
gave back an empty sound beneath
hor feet as she walked across It to
the kitchen. The kitchen, too, was
quite unchanged. There stood the
old-fashioned stove from which she
had eaten so many of aunt Hope's
good dinners. In the dining room
the chairs and the table still stood In
their places upon tho painted floor,
nut tho dishes were gone from the
shehes where aunt Hope had kept
them Clarissa .Mains had appre
ciated the fact that such old bluo
ware was valuable.
After tho dining room canie the
parlor, tho room that In aunt Hope's
lifetime Klsle had always loved best.
It was a good sized room in tho front
of the house. She lifted a window
and turned the sluts ,i the closed
shutters. The yellow afternoon
light came In across the bare door.
Innumerable motes danced in its
rays. I'pon tho walls a few old pic
tures still hung, and the wall paper
showed fresh spaces upon Ita fuded
surface where others had been.
Klalo sat down upon one of the ap
pealing chnlrs and clasped her hands
in their riding gauntlets about her
knee There was a chill of firelessnesB
and stnlo air In the room, but she did
not feel it. She was thinking of tho
last time she had been In this room.
There had been flowers In the room
nnd many people. In the midst lay
aunt Hope, always hitherto so gra
cious and genial, so quick to respond
to the love of her friends and neigh
bors. Her hands were crossed upon a
' JZ ""
C P 'V.S .
I flower; her lips smiled t new little
(fcmllo of understanding of men's ways
and of God's. Abovo tho hushed
sound of tears rose n dignllled volco:
"I ntn tho resurrection and the life."
How lldly she remembeied It all1
Shu had sat hero and ho had sat
tlicro with aunt Hope between. And
tliough they both looktd at aunt Hope
tearfull they would not look lit each
other. How pale bo had been! And,
perhaps, she, too, hud been Just ns
Palo under her vHl. Well, It wns
over. Of what use win It to regret?
Yet RIrIo knew how anxiously aunt
Hope had longed for them to bo
friends agnln, how strongly she had
ndvlsed their making up their foolish
qunrrel.
"You ate boih young and high tem
pered." she had pleaded again and
again, "luit there'll come u time
when ou'll be old ami temoiseful un

never be happy with anyone else, nor !

as It should be. And now vou've lot!
that little trollop of a Ooils Kennedy
come between you! Oh. 1 know what
folks say about me- that I am a med
dling of matchmaker -"
"Peacemaker, aunt I lope," Klsle hnd
laughed, tremulously.
"Well, then, peacemaker. I hope I
am. Hlesseil joii know what the
Hible sn.vs Hut 1 ain't sure of Mint
unless .voii'll let me make peace be
tween ou and David'"
"Some da." Klsle had half prom
ised. That was a vent- nun. M'lu.n
they had met at aunt Hope's fu
ncrnl and had not spoken Afterward
David hnd gone back to the city to his
work and Klsle hnd gone hers In the
little country town. As far as she
knew now. her romance wns pnileii
There wns no aunt Hone to advise
and gently smooth awny the dlfflcul-
ty. nut, on, the sweotneis and tho
bitterness of It lingered with her like
mingled myrrh and honey. She had
loved David she loved him still and
must go on loving him as long as she
lived. Hut she had the Bennett tern
per. He hnd it. too. far back some
where, a couple of generations ngo, a i
certain marriage had made them kin.
She would not give up. Neither would
he. And It whs all becauso she had
not liked his city cousin, Doris Ken
nedy, and ho had! Perhaps down in
her heart Klsle had been n bit Jeal
ous of the blonde joung woman who
looked as If she hnd been run In an
exceedingly slender mold, and had
never so much as bent her back since
an effect obtained, It was said, by
means of an exacting dressmaker.
Klsle was far too natural to nduilre
Doris' Immobility, loads or false hair
and layers of pink and white powder.
And she hnd told David so in n none
too pleasant way.
"Hut her heart Is all right." he had
argued, stoutly.
"Doris Is a good girl.
, i.....
ine trouble Is, you are envious of
her, that's all."
"Knvioiis!" cried Klsle, scarlet
with rage. So the quarrel had be
gun. As she hut there now In the empty
room Klsle owned to herseU sadly that
shohad been unreasonable. After all,
Doris was David's own cousin and
older than he. There had been no rea
son In the world lor her being Jealous
as she hud been; yes, she huri toad
mil that now.
"If only I hnd listened to aunt
Hope. If nnl I had let her make
pence as she wished"
A crash at tho back ol ihe house
startled her. A window had (alien!
She sprang to her feet. Steps vvero

were in thu kitchen now the dining
room. She plunged toward tho door
that opened into tho little Trout entry.
It was locked. She tugged at it rran
tlcally. Heaven! To he shut in this

looked almost as white and shaken as
she knew she was.
"Klsle!" he exclnimed. "(Jreat

"David!" she gasped. And half fell
against the supporting door. They
stared at each other, the color slowly
coming back to their faces.
"Did you get In at the pantry win
dow, too?" Klalo asked, when she
could.
He nodded.
"I remembered that aunt Hope was
always going to have It fixed and,
novor did. What aro you doing hero,
Klsle?" He camo close to her.
"What are you?"
"I camo becauso I had to. I felt
