cro all the faces of strangers. A pool
oinan said : "Somehow , yon have tlu
itt o' talkin' , an'wo want you to go aloiif :
0 niako the sjicoch. "
How could wo lefiiso the fine ride in
'oin Powell's farm-wagon over the hills
nd through the wild woods and alonj :
rook vallejs , dodging tinder the pahnj

The whole day's events weroliko a peed

part , locking in a dreamy way to and
o , her keen car catching every sound ,
om the congratulations extended to the
est on his birthday , down to the cooing
E the babies and the sputtering of tin
jast fowls iu the oven.
She had a serene , sweet face , wltl
over a wrinkle , though her years hat
umbered 75. She Mai plainly clad in
10 style of other days , and were a lace
up , with a full border round her little
ACO , a karchlof pinned down at the cor
ore , precisely between her thouldora ,
nd her drcsa so ehoit that it showed her
din ankles. Her old-time "reticule"

when the came "ivvieltlng to Aleck's.1
Wo drew togotter , tomohow Pollj

bo glow of dew-wot violets at something
wo said , and she slid her little rocket
oarer , and baforo cither of us was aware
f It her thoughts had gene back to othoi
ears and younger ; and the "old story'
bat 19 ever new came like thread reeled
Q by a dextrous hand.
"Dear , 0 dead" she said , "if any-

July , an' I thought nothin' of it. 1 lay
in the bed and cried myself to sleep. I
nas half s-rry that I had behaved so
rudely , and yet I was glad that his sad ,
litying eyes were gone. I felt so alonu
ind friendless that even sympathy tiled
mo. It seemed to mo tint I had not
slept five minutes until John came flying

"The sttaogor said ho knew of a place

God's bund was In these dolu'a. '
"It wai late when the storm abated ,
ind the stranger asked to tary till morn-

so poorly the next morning that I deter
mined not to got up till ho was gone.
Jut my head ached so that t could not

whlsporad that the man nns getting out

10 was ready to start he came to the win
dow. I was brushing my long hair as I
tat in the little chair by the open win
dow. Ho leaned on the sill and said :
"I am going to leave some powders

horn. I believe tbat I can cure yon. Done
no you plcaso about taklug them. '
"I looked him full in the face and ( aid ;
" 'I want to die. I have nothing to
Ivo for. If yon did cure mo I am not
able to pay you for It. '

"And ho spoke. He said :
" 'I want no pay. I would bo proud

np you to health and strength. I would

"I promised to take the medicine , and
hat minute I felt the assnrance that it
would help mo. Ho laid his next ap-

oo how I was.
"Tho medicine did help me. I began

"At the end of the month he came.

All this time I bad feelings for that good ,

that when he went to the Missouri thai

one Saturday he came to see the fittj

" 'Oh ! Polly don't care for me now

"John and Car'lino and Lacy and the

was most miserable indeed. I was sitting
droasod up for Sunday by the window ,
with my hymn book on my lap , but my
thoughts were far aw y from the hymns ,
I was lookin' out dreamy like , when all
of a sadden a form passed my window.
It was the doctor. He did not see mo.
I sprang for the ladder to go up aloft ,
but he came in a the door and wo mot
suddenly. I almost fainted as Iscrcamed
