The Mae tree wus like n pigMirit,
tsihft 1th ilumcs in the &"Ct May
tttrd. Snin, up In the attic nnd deop
in Uip rites of house-cleaning', leaned
out of the Window to catch the lan
guorous odors tlwt drifted upwards
from Us bJossOtned lorellaen.
"Oh, Sara." reclaimed Mr. Hum
h -tii, when !bo gjUmfwed her daughter,

ara Uofe the letkr and slowly rend
(t contents.
it was four o'clock when Snrn
Mtdiod ojfl Ted to thd oovewd puttxv
it l drove down the country road to
U station. To lief disappointment
ho did not see ,hcr cousin. Only
n solitary- littles girl standing beside
a huge blnok trunk was there.
"Oh, I wonder If you ro CouBln
Sum," tho little girl gasped, as slu
renchod tho buggy. Sara's astonished
eyes traveled from the knee-length
skirt to tho light hobhed hulr under
the violently colored hat. Then they
stopped at the powdered face, Inll
nltely old and weary.
"You don't mean that you're IJar
hnrn," she Rasped: "Why, I thought
you were n little girl."
Ilaibarn laughed easily. "I don't
suppose you know much about style up
here. I'm "dead tired, and what will
wo do with my trunk?" Suddenly
Sara's eyes brightened. Across tho
street a young man was Jubt stepping
from tho car.
"Oh, Joe," she called In her clear,
strong voice.
Joe came over Immediately.
"I'd like you to meet my cousin,
Rarbarn Cushman." Then she added,
"Joe, wo have n big trunk we can't
manage. I wonder If you could carry
It homo for us." As sho spoke sho
watched tho young man's face. It
wore the same expression of bewilder
ment she knew had been on her own.
They drove home rather slowly.
The weeks passed quickly enough
for Sara with nil her duties. Barbara
at first spent most of her time In the
hammock, writing letters or reading.
The fresh air, long, restful nights and
tho wholesome country food did won
ders for her, however. Not deeming
It worth while to dress for unappreel
atlve spectators, she left off the pow
. der and was delighted to find n soft,
pink HubIi uppearlng on her rounding
cheeks. Mark Sherman took the girls
to ride nnd was over n good many eve
nings. Sometimes Joe Curtis Joined
them on the piazza, making a four
some. At first Barbara told talcs of won
derful automobile rides and theater
parties, or stories of splendid dances
she had attended. But there always
appeared an atmosphere of restraint
among the others, who apparently did
not share her enthusiasm. One eve
ning she was unusually quiet. After
the two young men left she followed
Sura to her room and, sitting on the
ed?c of the bed, watched ihe latter
brush her long, soft hair. Suddenly
nnd very quietly she began to cry.
Sara went to her In an Instunt.
"Oh, Barbnru," she said, drawing
her cousin's head tenderly down on
her shouldor, "are you sick, dear?"
For a minute there was no nnswer.
Then Barnbum clutched Sara's hand
convulsively. "Sura," she sobbed, "I
have been such a fool. My hair wns
as long as yours, and now It's spoiled.
I've just made myself look like a
freak, trying to copy the others. Nona
of my friends in the city are real. I'll
never be happy again, never."
It was some time after this out
burst before Sara could quiet her. She
stroked the short, golden hair softly.
"You have not spoiled your looks at
nil, dear," she said, when Barbara
would listen. "Your hair Is very thick,'
and It has grown long since you came.
Ton have plenty to do In a soft, low
knot, and It will be so becoming, for
It Is curly. I wish mine wns."
Barbara raised her head. "Do you
really think so?" she asked. "And,
Sara, could you help me let down my
lavender organdy for the church sup
per? Joe thinks It' Is a lovely color."
She blushed as she added this.
The next day the girls were very
busy In preparation for the before
mentioned Buppcr. When they came
downstairs, ready at last, Mrs. Burn
ham gave a gasp of astonishment as
she saw Barbara. Then she went
over and kissed her on each rosy
cheek.
It was rather Into l'n the evening,
nnd Mark and Sara were standing In
front of the church, waiting for Bar
barn, who had mysteriously disap
peared. Suddenly, from tho shadow
of the oUl elm, she came hurrying
toward them. She took Sara's baud
and drew her to olo side.
"Oh, Sara," she whispered, "would
you mind? Joe wants to take me home
la his car. He says I look like a renl
country violet, and I mustn't ever go
back to the city again."
With n happy kiss she was gone.
Mark looked ufter tho disappearing
pair gratefully. No long'er would he
be reminded of tho old udifge: "Two's
company, three's a crowd."

self and what a name certainly does.
And for nil their apparent poverty sho
wears boldly, two wonderful diamond
rings upon one finger."
"And though the young woman knew
not one soul In town, to even Intro

bridled "every ono knows liow popu
lar and sought after Dick Is was seen
In her company nnd "
"Has hardly been seen out of It
since.'' It was the young sister who
shut her book and Joined for the first
time In thu conversation. Daphne
giggled. "If you ask me," sho said, "I'll
say that Dick is mighty lucky. Of
all the dames I have seen him with,
this Is tho winner."
"Are you acquainted with Richard's
choice daughter?" the father nsked
Daphne.
"We have talked together, some
times In her little garden. And ono
day when Judith went on un errand
for her father, she left me there to
look after him. And he talked to me.
I don't think sho would have liked
Unit. There is a sort of nobleness In
the wny she likes things without
sympathy. Bui nnywuy, the old mun
Vi ho Is like a grieved child," Daphne's
young voice broke, "began to tell mo
about the friend who had deceived
him. nnd brought on the Illness,
through which Judith Is so curefully
guarding him. This friend and he,
had been, it seemed, life-long com
panions, tho David and Jonathan
hurt, ho thought: so ho willingly went
bond for utmost nil ho owned, for this
friend In a hank where he held a posi
tion, nnd the friend, skipped. Judith's
father had to pay Ids bond. It's Mr.
Wares city doctor who forbade visi
tors thnt might troubio him."
Mrs. Wright turned to stare at hec
daughter. "You know a great deal
concerning the family," she suld. "Why
lime you never spoken to us on the
subject?"
Iaphne smiled. "Oh, I thought I'd
lenve that for Dick." she said, and
honestly ndded, "You probably
wonldnt have taken stock In my
story"
"Still, nil thnt in consideration," the
aunt reminded. "I regret tlmt the
stranger hus tuken DIck'8 fancy."
"But It huppens to be fur more than
a fancy," u quiet voice Interrupted.
Dick stood In tho doorway. "I love
Judith Wure with all the love of my
heart. We nro married."
It was a long und portenttous si
lence which followed bis announce
ment. "Murrled!" gusped his mother at
last.
"In the spring time Just before Jud
ith and her father came here. I had
known them through nil the years of
my college, In the city. It was Judith's
wish to come hero quietly, to nurso
her father back to health. Tho Httlo
Glover house wiib all she could find,
our own will soon be building. Also,
It was her wish to win first unknown,
your affection. Wo had been mnrrlcd
hastily."
Dick touched caressingly his sis
ter's head.
"And I'll explain to you, Daphne,"
be atlded, "that those rings were my
gift to Judith. And I'd like to see her
try to glvo either tho engagement one,
or the other away."
Making Explosive.
When ljquld air containing from 40
to 50 per cont of oxygen Is mixed
with powdered charcoal It forms an
explosive which Is sold to be com
parub'lo In power to dynamite and can
bo exploded by means of a detonator,
says tho Washington Star. This ex
plosive tins been used In coal mines.
The liquid air evaporates so rapidly
that the explosive cannot be store,
but must be used within a few safm
ute? after it Is prepared.

Rare Kxample of Courtesy.
When a very young girl. In ordei
to reach my place of employment tact
day, I had to walk quite a dlstanci
after leaving the street car. On
morning it was raining heavily and 1
had no umbrella. As I alighted from
the car a young man stepped up to ml
and quietly walked nlong by my side,
shielding mo from tho rain with htl
umbrella. I was very shy and did nol
know what to say or do, so sold noth

nation, I tried to thnnk him, and In
gravely bowed nnd went on his way.
