She laid down her hammer with a sigh and looked about her. Above her on a trestle stood a long row of tiny cra dles, each one perfect, waiting now for their coots of blue p ain t Across the high wooden bench Laeta caught the eyes of a stronger looking at her wistfully,- "A man In a toy shop,” Laeta told nerself disgustedly ; “brave work for a man.” She brushed back a thick lock of red hair that would persist In fall ing across her white forehead, and slipped off the black smock that cov ered her little gingham dress. “A white lily," the man thought as he faced her. But Ijie ta did not return the frank question In hla eyes. Instead she went forth Into the early dusk with her wMe gray eyes unseeing on the quaint streets, streets that ambled uphill and curved leisurely down to the blue wa ter. At her own gate the hollyhocks nodded a rosy greeting, and Laeta stooped to gather, thé fragrunce of the bed of old-fashioned pinks. She turned when she heard an uneven etep on the wooden pavement of the village street. It was the stranger, the man who had Just come to u’ork In the toy shop. She saw then that he was lame. “Lnets !” a voice sounded behind the hollyhocks. “What’a keeping you, child?- Tea’s ready.” Over the tea table Laeta told them of the day. how bar design had been praised, the oqe of the farmyard with all the painted wooden animals; how the new air brush was working— but Laeta did not mention the stranger.

But Laeta found the evenings had suddenly grown very long and lonely. Across the hjgh work bench Mr. Jar vis smiled at her In his old gay way. but when dusk had fallen he did not walk with her down the twisted, nar row street, nor did he stand and talk with her across the white gate. One evening she stole out again to the colored rocks and looked far off ucross the rosy w aters; Just as though It was another night ihe beard voices behind her. “the summer people." Two girls In shimmering white were climb ing across the rocky. She listened In voluntarily.
