For The Courier The front yard ot the old stone (arm house was full ot teams. Some were tied to the fence on either side, and others stood under the trees scattered over the lawn. The old plow horses stood conteutedly, but occasionally a slender legged, spirited beast chafed at his baiter and moved restless)), stirring the thick ctrpet of leaves that covered the ground. Many of the wagons con tained farm implements, or had horses and cows hitched behind, while up on the wide veranda were piled carpets, curtains and mattresses. The auction eer, a small, wiry man with a very red face, stood on a ktchen table calling off. As the last article fell under the ham mer he took out a blue cotton handker chief and wiped his hot face, pushing back the coarse, red hair from his wet forehead. Id one ot the room a in the bouse, three women were seated near a large trunk. The oldest, a stout, fair woman, said, as she folded a drese and put it in the trunk: "This will make over real handsome for Jennie. Poor Mary, she only wore it twice. I recollect right wall the day she bought it down to Roxby, and she said to me, 'Dick will be so pleased, I got blue, he likes it so.' She had it on the day be was carried to the house just breathing." A little woman in a neat, black, print dress, who was sorting over a pile of children's clothing, stopped to wipe her eyes on a corner of her apron. Then she turned to the other woman, who eat on the window ledge and seemed strangely out of place in thie bare room with these plain country women. "Margaret," she said, "will you take Lillian's things with you, or are you go ing to let her stay a few dayB with Jen nie at Ann's?" The Blender figure on the window ledge rose and came towards the trunk. Her perfectly fitting traveling dress, and simple hat, possessed an elegance foreign to Roxby shops. She stood by the little woman and rested one small gloved hand on her arm, but she looked at the large fpir woman and there were tears in her eyes when she began to speak. "It is too bad to separate them Ann," she said, The large woman nodded and the little woman wiped her eyes again. "I would like to take them both with me to the city ' ehe hesitated. Ann shook her head. "It would make it all the harder for Jonnie to come back to me," she ans wered. "But Ann! I mean I would like to keep Jennie too. You have four chil dren, I have none, since Robbie died." A sob choked her, and she turned away. The little woman wiped her eyes and Ann mumbled something about asking John. Down in the orchard back of the house, two little girls vere wandering hand in hand. It was here, six months be'ore, that their mother had brought them, away from the long procession that followed a hearse down the road. Then the orchard had been fragrant with the odor of apple bloESoms that loaded the trees, and fell in soft, white shower3 on the three bare heads. Now the October sunshine kissed the mellow fruit, and touched softly the two chil dren as they passed from tree to tree, saying good bye to their orchard chums. The younger one's pink cheeks were tear stained and her gingham sun-bonnet had fallen back on her neck leaving a tangle of yellow curls in the sunshine. One chubby band clutched a rag doll and the other clung to her Bister. The elder child's pale face showed no trace of tears, but her brown eyes were full of sorrow and her lips trembled when she tried to speak. "Lily," sho said, ''you will love Cousin Margaret and por'ups per'aps Aunt Ann will let me conio and 6ee you sometimes." Lily turned a pair of frightened baby eyes upon her sister. "You know dear," the elder continuod, "I must stay with Aunt Ann because because I guess two'e too many I-" Hit she got no further. Lillian with a wild burst of tears threw hbrsolf up on the ground. The sun had set, and the chill ot an October twilight tilled the air, when u voice at the orchard gate said:. "I'm most sure I saw them come down this way before wa packed the trunk. Don't go into that wet grass Margarot, you'll spoil your dress. John can bunt them up.' But Margaret, regardless of the dew Boaked grass, was kneeling be fore what seemed to be a heap of ging ham drapery and John's lantern Hashed into the face of little Jennie. She was fast asleep w'th her head against a tree and both arms clasped about her little eister. As sho felt herself liftod in strong arms she heard Cousin Margaret Bay. "I must take better care of both my little girls." TOOTING.
