I Tesponded..try. ing to make my voice ecthusia&tfar, but finding it a hard task, because og the resentment I was feeling kt the high-handed ways of my moth er-in-law. As my mother-inlaw concluded her triumphant refital of her pre cautions against entertaining the escaped bootleggers unaware, I had a sudden laughable vision of stolid faithful Jim locking and un locking every door on the place when he should have occasion to go- through it. But I repressed my merriment sternly for she was still talking. It behooved me to pay strict atten tion if I wished again to avoid falling Into her bad books. This, indeed, was a most fervent desire of mine. I was to be home but a home , but a short time, Mrs. Durkee's . operation ' and the Braithwaite's coming loomed in front ot me to say nothing of other problems and I coveted tranquility at any price. I meant to humor my cantanker ous mother-in-law to the extreme limit, if by that means I could lfLeep her in good spirits until my departure. I "So that's all provided for." Mother Graham concluded energet ically, and I noted that she ap peared a younger woman by ten years than when she went out of the room. Excitement, especially when there is a touch of the mys terious or melodramatic in ft, al ways marvellously rejuvenates her. "Now, we'll get started on the Mrs. Ticer's Suggestion. Besides. I was nervously fa tigued after my journey and ray experience with Mrs. Durkee's household, and I did not especial ly relish the task of getting din ner with the sure prospect ot Mo ther Gram's caustic criticism of my culinary effort. j "The girl in that new family across the road is splendid help, although she's young," Mrs. Ticer volunteered meekly. "Celia was working with her the other day down to the Brirgs' place, and she says she's a whirlwind and awful neat."

"But." said the stranger, MI was not aware that the hookworm is painful." "'Taint." responded the garru lous native. "Why, then. the stranger quer ied, "should the dog howl!" "Lazy." "But why does lazinesr make him howl?" "V "Wal." said the Georgian, "that blame fool dawg is siltin on a sand-bur, an he's too tarnation lazy to get off. to he Jes seta thar an' howls 'cause it hurts." "That little tiling who looks as if a breath ot wind would blow her away?" my mother-in-law demand ed sharply. " i . '.Ye8. .1 know she's small, but she's wiry she hasn't a load ,'of flesh to carry around," Mrs. Ticer returned, with a lugubrious glance downward at her own ample, tightly-corseted figure. "My mo ther used to say that to set a fat eprson and a thin one side by side at a task was like putting two a people of the same weight at it, and then tying a sack of flour around one man's neck. She raid it took most of fat folks' strength to carry their extra weight." jj : "Did You See That?" i! :! ' My mother-in-law greeted this Ingenious theory with surprising tolerance. j "Yes, I've often thought that," she. said, "but wlth astonishing graciousness - "you've always seemed able to keep up your end with anybody." 1 Mrs. Ticer actually flushed at the tribute, but her quiet "thank you." was the only answer she vouchsafed, and Mother Graham remained silent for a full half minute, evidently weighing, the pros and cons of employing the girl across the road. We'll get her.1 she decided fi nally. "Margaret, you go over there at once, and see about it. Have her come right away.' and then with her and Katie and Mrs. Ticer all working, we ought to be able to get two rooms pretty well out of the way by dark." , "If -we work by lamplight, it won't hurt us." Mrs. Ticer return ed Cheerily, and as I put on my hat and coat I felt a Mt ashamed ot my own listless fatigue. "I'll go with you." Katherlne volunteered. "Don't go into the yard until you've called one ot the children out into the yard." cautioned Mrs Ticer. "They've got a dog there, which won't come out into the road but I guess would bile anybody going in whom it didn't know." "Sweet prospect, not so?" Kath erlne drawled as we walked down the path to the road which lay be tween the farm and the "place across the road." of dreaded mem ory to be, and then she clutched my arm. "Did you see that?" she whis pered, with her eyes fixed upon the capse of evergreens surround ing th "house across the road." (To be continued) . v 'How's times?" inquired a tourist. " "Oh. pretty tolerable." respojd- ed the old native who was sitting on a stump. "I had some trees to cut down, but a cyclone come along and saved me the trouble." "Fine." "Yes, and then the lightning set fire to the brunh pile and saved me the trouble of burnln' it." "Remarkable. But what are you going to do now?'. "Oh. nothin much.
