Do you B'pose I want to be shooln' tiles out of the house nit the rest of the summer?" Elvira hurriedly shut the Rcrcen door, but she was too late. A tly had llown lu. The widow laid down her sewing and, advancing cautiously, flapped her blue-cheeked npron. The tly. retreat tug, lighted on the screen, where ho buzzed defiantly. With her left hnnd the widow opened the door nn Inch or so, and with her right she made covert passes at the fly. Her outstretched fin gers traveled stealthily across the screen and up nnd down, whllo her large mouth sympathetically worked Itself open and shut, from the street she appeared to be affected with n sort of mild Insanity; but when n tly was in question the widow' McClano cared little enough for the opinion of the peo ple on the street After further effort she succeeded In corralling the tly, flung wide the screen door, spread out her lingers and let him go. Dazed by his sudden releitse from imprisonment, he remained suspended In midair for a drunken moment, then winged his way straight Into the sun light. The widow fastened the hook with a vicious clamp. "There!" she exclaimed, returning to her chair by the window nnd tnklng up her sewing, "If there Is one thing in the world I. hate above another, It's tiles." "I'm sorry 1 made so much trouble," said Elvira, wistfully, twisting the cor ner of her apron. "'Twasn't no trouble." responded the widow. "Leastwise not much. Set down. You make me nervous enough to fly to the moon, stundin' there fldget ln" Thus admonished, Elvira timidly en sconced herself In the nearest rocker, from which vantage ground she fur tively watched the widow, whose grim, weather-beaten face now bent over her work. Iler needle moved unevenly back and forth until the thread short ened Itself to a finger's length. Taking two or three decisive stitches one above the other, she drew out the needle and bit off the remaining thread. Then she spoke. "Well, what Is St, Elvira?" she In quired. A faint flush rose to Elvira's eyes, creeping thence to the roots of her hair. "It's about Joe," she answered. "So he's asked you to marry him, has he?" "Yes," assented Elvira, the flush growing more vivid under the sharp scrutiny of the old woman's eyes. "If you've come to ask my advice," said the widow McClane, "I say, marry him." "He ain't much ncount, nccordln' to what people tell me," ventured Elvira apologetically. "He's as much account as the ones that's talkln' about him, I reckon," re torted the widow. "They ain't any of 'em worth shucks as far as I can see; but that ain't here nor there, ne's a niau, an' any sort of man Js a protec tion to a woman, If he ain't any better than Just a scarecrow, hung up to keep away the hawks.

I've been a wld der nigh on to twenty years, an' 1 Udow." "My old man was like Joe," she said, returning to the subject In hand. "Ho wa'n't much account, kinder projee'ln' around at first one thlug au' then an other an' not doln' much of anything after all, but ho kept off tho hawks. Pore feller, ho had asthma. You could hear blm most u nillo off a-whcczln an' a-whcezln'. Sometimes I thought it would set me plumb crazy tho noise ho made, but raauy's tho day since I'd bin glad enough to hear him wheezlu' agin.

She did not allow her reminiscences to Interfere with her work. The move ment of her needle kept tlmo with tho movement of her lips. "I've bin watchln you. Elvira," she went on, looking over her glasses at the younger woman, "ever since you've bin n wldder, an' It seemed to me yon were goln over the same old roml I went over. It's a mighty hard road. There ain't no soft places In It. I've seen you tryln' to get along, llvln' with your sister. 1 know what that Is. I've bin nil through It. An' there's one thing I can tell you from experience." She paused for an Impressive moment nnd stabbed the air with her needle by way of emphasis. The needle pointed straight at Elvira. ""What Is It?" she risked, dodging In voluntarily. "If you want to And hard hearts In the time of trouble," answered the widow McClane, "you don't never need to go outside of your own family; spe cially If you're pore." Her mouth, snapping shut with the last word, settled Itself Into hard, firm SHE WAS AU, IN . I.'MJTff.ll As SHE WENT OUT TO HIM. lines. Elvira, catching n glimpse of her own red mouth in the narrow mirror over the mantel, fell to wondering If It would look like that twenty years later. "If you've got a little money," the widow continued, "If you're Independ ent of 'em, you're nil right; but the good Lord help a wldder woman that'B pore. There ain't a forlorner crenture on top of the earth. Yes, I've lived with my relations. I've worked like a. nigger day In and day out, acourln', clennln' un' scrubbln', an' then had the cost of my keep thrown In my teeth from mornln' till night. If I had It to do over ngln I'd go nn' hire out to strangers be fore I'd work for my kinfolks. A ser vant Is welcome to what she can cat un drink an' wages besides every where Jn the world except with her own kin. "I've watched you slavln' over there at Sarah Ann's, Elvira, cookln' nn washln' an' Ironln', un' when you was through, Instead of vestin', like auy other servant would er done, tendln' to the baby. I'd ruther break rock on n turnpike any day In the year than tend toa baby while Snrnh Ann run around to the neighbors a-telllu' 'em how she was bein' Imposed on, liavlii' to tako care of her pore relations." Elvira gave a little sigh. She opened her mouth to speak, but tho widow was beforn her. "I was mighty glad when I seo .Too a-shylu' round after you," sho said. "Mighty glad. Tako him. Tlint's my advice. It don't make any dlffercnco how trlflin' he Is; take him. A woman has a hard time alone In tho world. It takes a good strong woman to fight her way through.

A sickening thrill of nppreheu hIoii shook her. She looked away from the woman before her. who. old and wrinkled and careworn, sitting there stitching, stitching for tho solo piirtKiHO of keeping body nnd soul together, seemed the liienrnatloit of desolate wid owhood, to the window.

"He ain't half good eunuch tor her." she said aloud. "He's knock-kneed an' pigeon-toed, an' cross-eyed In one eye. but he's better'n nothln'. He'll kinder do for a prop.

Swiss maidens have wide and deep courtship license; but In many of the cantons they are allowed but a nar row choice of bridegrooms, It being a rigorously enforced, If unwritten, Inw that they must marry a youth of their own neighborhood. In many villages every marriageable youth belongs to a society whose sole object Is to prevent any und every youth from outsldo from coming a-courtlng the maidens of the society's vlllngo. The society has a password, fre quently changed almost never di vulged. A lover of the village, if chal lenged, gives tho password, and It lu nn "open sesame" through tho on-guard ranks of tho protective society. Ho may climb and woo uninterrupt ed, undisturbed.
