One December morning he got a telephone, message from bis j father-in law. asking him to come in j to Frankfort at once. He found Mr , Royce sunk in his desk chair, smok ing as usual, with several foreign looking letters on the^table before j him. As he took tlie.se out of their envelopes and sorted the pages, Claude noticed how unsteady his hands had become. One letter, from the chief of the medical staff in tlie mission school where Caroline Royce taught. In formed Mr. Royce tHat his daughter I was seriously ill in tlie mission hospi tal. She would have to be sent to a more salubrious part of the country for rest and treatment, and would not be strong enough to return to her duties for a. year or more. If some member of her family could come out to take care of her, it would relieve the school authorities of great anxi ety. There was also a letter from a fellow tea* her. and a rather incoher ent one frorri Caroline herself. AjRer Claude finished reading them. air. Royce pushed a box of cigars toward him and began to talk despondently about missionaries. **I could go to her.” he complained, "but what good would that do? I’m not in sympathy with her ideas, and it would only fret her. You can see she's made her mind up not to come home. I don't believe in one people trying to force their ways or tlieir religion on another. I'm not that kihd of man.” He sat looking at his cigar. After a long pause be broke out sud denly, "Chiha has been drummed into I my ears . .it seems like a long way to go t<• bunt for trouble, don't it?

There’s always something. I don't know what to say about showing these letters to Kntd.” "Oh. she will have to know* about it, Mr. Royce.

It don't seem fair that China should hang over you, too.’’ When Claude got home he re marked as he handed Knid the let ters, "Your father has been a good deal upset hy this. I never saw him look so old as he did today." Enid studied their contents, sitting at her orderly little desk, while Claude pretended to read the paper. "It seems clear that I am the one to go," she said when she had fin ished. "You think it's necessary for some one to go? 1 don't see It.” "It would look very strange if none of us went,” Knid replied with spirit. "llow, look strange?" "Why, it would look to her asso ciates as if her family had no feel ing." "Oh. if that’s all."’ Claude smiled perversely anti took up his paper again. "1 wonder how it will look to people here if you go off and leave your husband?" “What a mean thing to say, Claude."’ Site rose sharply, then hesi tated, perpiexeej. T’eoplo here know me better than that. It Isn't as if you couldn't he perfectly comfortable at your mother's.” As he did not glance up front his paper, site went into the kitchen. Claude sat still, listening to Enid's quick movements as site opened up the range to get supper. The light in the room grew greyer. Outside the fields melted into one another as evening came on. The young trees in the yard bent and whipped about under a bitter north wind. He had often thoughi, with pride tiiat winter died at his front doorstep; within, no draughty halls, net chilly corner^. This was their second year here. When ho was driving home, the thought that he migbf he free of this house for a long while had stirred a pleasant ex citement in him: but now, he didn't want to leave It. Something grew soft in him. He wondered whether they couldn't try again, and make things go better. Enid was singing in the kitchen in a subdued, rather lonely voice. He rose and went out for his milking coat and pail. As he passed his wife by the window, lie stopped and put his arm about her questibningly. Hho looked up "That's right. You're feeling better about it. aren't you? I thought you would. Craclous. what a smelly coat, Claude! I must find another for you." Claude knew that tone. Knid never questioned the rightness of her own decisions. When site made up her mind, there was no turning her. He went down (he path to the barn with hi* hands stuffed in his trousers pockets, Ills bright psil hanging on his arpt. Try again—’that was there to try? Platitudes. llttlen<ss. false ness . . liis life was choking him, and lie hadn't the courage to break with it.

"You won't have nearly so much to look after as you do here. We needn't disturb things in this house. I will take the silver down to Mother, and we can leave every thing else just as It is. Would thera be room for my car in your father’s garage? You might find it a con venience." "Oh, no! I won't need it. I'll put It up at the mill house." he answered with an effort at carelessness. All the familiar objects that stood about them in the lamplight seemed stiller and more solemn than usual, as if they were holding their breath. "I suppose you had better take the chickens over to your mother's" Enid continued evenly. "Hut I shouldn't like them to get mixed with her Ply mouth Rocks; there's not a dark feather among them now. Do ask Mother Wheeler to use all the eggs, and not let my hens set in the spring." "In the spring?" Claude looked up from his plate "Of course, Claude.

I might try to be home for harvest, if that would make it more convenient for you.” She rose to bring in the des sert. , On, don t hurry on mv account he muttered, staring after her dis appearing figure.

The horses, of course, are Father's; he paid for them. Jf you clear out, he may want to rt-nt this place. You may find a tenant in here when you get back from China " Claude swallowed hls^j.offeo. put down the cup. and went into the front parlor, where he lit a cigar. He walked up and down, ki pping his eyes fixed upon his wife, who still sat at the table in the circle of light from the hanging lamp. Her head, bent forward a little, showed the neat part of her brown hair. When she was perplexed, her face al ways looked sharper, her chin longer. "It you’ve no feeling for the place,” sail! Claude from the other room, "you. can hardly export me to hang around and takr care of If* All the time you were campaigning, I played housekeeper here." Kidd's eyes narrowed, but she did not flush. Claude had never seen a wave of color come over his wife’s pale, smooth checks. "Don’t 1m childish You know I i care for this place: it’s our home. But 1 no feeling would be right that kept me from doing ray duty. Ycpi are well, and you have your mother's house to go to. Ciyrie Is ill and , among strangers.” (t ontlnueti In Tile Morninn Bee.)
