Stic resolved that Sophia abould not be taken unawares. She leaned over the hedge and drop pod the newspaper under Sophia's nose. Sophia aquraked with surprise aa the paper rattled among the panties, and there waa blank aatoulxhraeut In her nearsighted eyes as she lifted them to gaze upon the grim, uncompromising face of her sister. The latter pointed to the paper with an old time gesture of command, and Sophia, adjusting her spectacles, sought the wrong page with agitated eegerneaa. Then she turned the sheet, and presently a nervous cluck aud the dull reddening of her cheek announced that she hud found the Item. In her excitement the younger woman spoke. "He will call." she said softly, at If to herself. , . The next day whs Satufday, and alt' day long Sophia's lavender muslin bung on the clothesline, bending and swaying In the soft west wind like a misty wraith of Sophia herself.

Suddenly Abigail was ► called away, and when she returned to the parlor tbo young minister had gone and Sophia was standing at the win dow with a bewildered look on her pretty face. Then a wldto rape had taken pos session of Abigail, and her touguo had loosed upon the frightened Sophia, who turned fiercely with upbraiding contra dictions After that scene, which no one witnessed, began tho long silence. As her thoughts wandered back to tho past she knew she had been nnjust to her sister, for really neither of the sis ters had any real reason for thinking Mr. Weemers was In loro with her. which made Abigail's outbreak toward her alster all the more unjustifiable. It wns of these things that Abigail was thinking. The next day was Sunday, and So phia stepped down the psth alone, her worn hymn book clasped In her mlt- tened hands.
