On the wny hack from the imt otllce
Anita Tresfott stopped lit the turn of

shedding Its rosy petals nnil looked

hefore. when sho and Michael wore
on their honeymoon wnnderlng; yet It
was not that moment of companioned
ecstasy thnr had hromjlit her hack,
lint the remembered peace of it. Peace
that was what she bad wanted:
when she determined to escape inm
all that was not peace, nil that was
disillusion. 11 sudden vision bad come
to her of the little white bouse tinder
the elm. the red roof and the smoke
wavering P from its chimney, and
tlie strong, smiling womnn who nan
glen them milk to drink. Peace a
refuge during the long year that she

must have, and that, she told herself,
she should find bore. Determination.
vMim, tllght; then a visit to a Inwjer
who "took" cases like hers as If
there could bo any other like hers!
and. finally, speech with Mlrinm nt the
door of the white bouse.
"You don't want to board bore,"
Miriam bad told her. "I have a room,
ves. And I'd Jut love to have you.
Hut tliN Isn't the place for you. You
don't know anything nbotit mo.
"As much as you know about me."
Tho other shook her bead. "I guess
It's different." said she. "Folks around
here don't have aii.v thing to do with
me. You'd be lonely."
"I want a place where I can be
alone."
The womnn gave her a steady look ;
then she snltl. calmly, as though otter
ing an explanation that did not touch
herself at all, "My name's Miriam.
Around here they seem to thing It
ought to be Ilagar."
Anita (lushed a Utile under the bald
ness of It ; but she said, "Well I here s
a wlldornoi-s for must of us. I nm In
lUght, too."
"Come In," Miriam had said; nnd
so far that remained the fullness of
explanation between them. Anita was
thinking of it today, because of the
letter she bad brought from the vil

and fm warded by tho man who took

oor, and can forget the unfor

Anita's lips twisted In a bitter little
smile; her eyes hardened, hue eroded
the road to the grassy bank under tho
apple tree, and leaned her elbows 011
the fence, looking off across the mel
lowing fields. IJojnnd, a tremulous
breath or green along the lhor; eaily

smiled when she put hot water on the

wounds of the spirit thnt she had kept
to herself and resented, thinking,
thinking.
"You aren't much like other women,"
.Miriam said to her one day, when she
had come hack from leaving unmoor
thankless gift at the house next door.
"You never ask any questions."
.Well you aren't much like other
women, yourself," Anita answered.
Hut Miriam laughed, tossed back n
stray lock of hnlr and sald,"Oh, yes 1
am ! That's Just o.iictly what I am !"
The old man muttered nn ugly
name; Anita watched Milium, watched
the swelling apple buds, thought.
Thoughts that were bruises, memories
that llaiued nnd seared; questionings
that would not be answered; no help
fioin the nights or days, no bread of
understanding, no water of comfort.
So had the weeks passed.
The day the letter came she wont
out after supper nnd sat on the door
step. A young moon had left the night
to the radiance of gleaming stars; tho
tender swoelnoss of the air was
pierced by the song of the little frogs
caroling I heir return to life, and the
sadness of past summers, nnd the Joy
of the slimmer to come; the fragrance

They went side by side through the
song and the Incense and the starlight,
Milium Intent upon her errand, Anita
remembering, thinking. They went
through the village, and those they
met passed them by as though they
wore shadows; they camo to a bouse
on a hillside beyond, a low, poor bouse,
whore a lamp shone from within. A
man came to the door; his o.vcs In his
unshaven face looked as though some
lire of pain had burned In them and
tiled, leaving them scorched. He looked
at Milium.

"I know," si e told him, "I'll bo there

"It was Just what other women

They walked on through n shndowy
place, camo out Into the starlight
again. "You are so strong," whispered
Anita.

They weio passing the bouse next
door, 'whore the surly girl and the
cruel lad lived. "One thing you es
caped," Anita said. "You must be
thankful that you had no children."
Milium stood still, looked at hor. "I
would give nil the rest of my life." she
wild, "If I might have put u child of
mine Into the linns of the man I loved.
I would go Into any bondage If I might
only servo a living child of my own,
ami It would be freedom, blessed fiee

would say that, honestly! Children are

do you think nny body deliberately
chooses that, today?"
"I know they do I It's n small price
to pay for the Joy of It, child."
"Never! It's not worth it! I don't
believe anyone honestly thinks It Is!"
Milium walked on. "Come with me
tomorrow," she said. "I think perhaps
you'll understand, then."
So, In the morning, they walked the
rond together again; this time Miriam
bad n groat sheaf of blossoms in her
arms. They came to a quiet place on a
hill, and there they met the man of the
night before. There was a small box
at bis feet, carefully wrapped, and In
his band 11 spade. U began to dig,
and as the yellow earth became a

She found their llttlo house locked
and uiillghted; sho guessed that h

found him on the old couch In bis of

The eves that met hers wore like

he whispered. Then, sitting up.
"Mia I It's Nlta."

Ills grasp on her arms hurt hor, but

"Pay yes I I've found out, Michael
I've thought, oh, thought I I was

His face close to hers, his eyes smnl-

were really smoking crude and prlinl

aborigines were accustomed to tho

smoking, as narrated by Las Casus,
plainly suggests the cigarette, and this
Is accounted tho earliest reference to
tho use of tobacco In tint form.
Tho natives of the New world, said
the Spaniard, "wrap the tobacco In
