“ Mr. Haley has just stopped by to
say that he thinks no price Is too great
to pay for peace and fellowship and
good will In a community." she said ns
she dropped into a rocker and looked
pensively after the retreating tigure of
the handsome young dominie, who had
accompanied them to the gate, but
wisely no farther.
He didn’t know
that Jane had gone with Polk.
"And women to pay the price." an
swered Mamie spiritedly. “ I have Just
told Ned that ns yet 1 do not know
enough to argue the question o f wo
man’s wrongs with him, but I have
learned a few o f her rights. One of

friends offer him and to accompany
me to the entertainment i f 1 desire to
go. I reminded him that I had not
troubled him often ns on escort since
i
my marriage. H e.w as so scared that
he almost let little Ned drop out of
his arms, and he got In an awful hur

have his gray flannels pressed before
Tuesday and to buy him n blue tie to
go with a new shirt lie has. I never

I must say it does clear the atmos
phere."
“ You don’t think we could put it
off or—or” — Sal lie faltered.
"N o !" answered Mamie and I togeth

set out more rockers and have Petunia
tret the ten tray ready, for I saw Aunt
Augusta go across the road to collect
Cousin Martha and Mrs. Hargrove and
the rest, while Nell whirled by in her
rakish little car on her way to the
square and called that she would be
back.

ever done It in all my life—and llien
went on upstairs with a nice, cool
good night and “ thank you" to Polk.
“ Evelina.” he said as be handed mo
