BY MART J-Ol'ISl: POOL
"Ye aint (fot hungry for tcrmnters, ;
be ye?" .)
Some one had knocked at the Biirecn
door, and, as thorc was no response, a
man's strident, .jrood-huaiornu voico
put the above question concerning
tomatoes. ' i
But somebody had heard. ' ' '' " : I
A woman had been sitting in the
kitchen with a pan of seek no-further
apples in her hip. She whs purtnr and
quartering these, and then stubbing
the quarters through and stringing
them on yards of white twine, jre-,
paratory to festooning? them on Die 1
clothes horse which stood in the yard.
This horse was already decorated pro-1
fusely in this way. A cloud of wasps
had flown from the drying mnt as the
man walked up the path. He. swung
oil his hat and waved the insects
away. i
"I say, have ye got hungry again, for
termaters?" he repeated, 1
Then he rattled the screen, but it
was hooked on the inside.
lie turned and surveyed tiic three
.vindows that were visible in the bit
.f a house.
'They wouldn't both be gone, 'u' left
them applets out," he said to himself.
"I'm 'bout sure Ann's to home, V site's
the one I want to see."
A woman in the bedroom which
opened from the kitchen was Inirr'.eilly
smoothing her hair and peering into
the glass. She was speaking aloud
with the air of one who constantly
talks to herself.
"Jest as sure as I don't comb my
hair the first thing somebody couio.s,"
She gave a lost pat and went to the
door. There was a faint smirk on her
lips and a flush on her face.
Her tall figure was . swayed by a
slight, eager tremor as she saw who
was standing there. She exclaimed:
"Goodness me! Tain't you, Jlr.
Baker, is it? Won't ye tall; right in?
But I don't want no termarters; they
always go aginst me. Aunt Maudnuy
ain't to home."
"Oh, ain't she?" was the brisk re
sponse. "Then I guess 1 Will come in."
The speaker pushed open the now
unfastened door anil eutered. lie set
his basket of tomatoes with a -thump
on the rug, and wiped his broad, red
lace. . '
"Fact is," he said with a grin, "I
knew she was gone. ' I seen her goin'
crost the'pastur'. That's why I come
now. I ain't got no longin' to sec Aunt
Maudany no, siree, not a grain of
longin' to see her.. 'But I thought V
would agreeable to me to chip my eyes
on to you." 1 ,
The woman simpered, made ' an in
articulate sound, and hurriedly re
sumed her seat and her apple paring.
"Won't you se down, ill. Baker?"
she asked.
Ber fingers trembled as she took the
darning needle and jabbed it through
an apple quarter. The needle went
into her flesh also. Sue gave a little
crv and thrust her finder into her
mouth. Her large, pate eyes turned
wistfully towardher companion. The
faded, already elderly mouth quiv
ered. "I'm jest as scar't I c'n be if I sec
blood," she whispered.
Mr. Barker's heavy underlip twitched;
his face softened. But he spoke roughly-
"Yon needn't mind that biter blood,"
he said; "that wont hurt r.otliin'. 1
don't care if 1 do se' down: I ain't drove
any this mornhV. I c'n jest as well as
not take hold 'n' help ye. I s pose Man
dany left a thunderin' lot for ye to do
while she's gone?"
"Two bushels" was the answer
"Theoldcatl That's too much. Hut
Hwon't be for both ot us, will it, Ann?"
The woman said: ' So."
She looked for an instant iontly at
the man who had drawn his chair di
rectly opposite her. tie was already
paring an apple.
"I'd know what to make of it," she
said, still in a whisper.
"To make of what?" briskly.
"Why, when folks are so good to me's
you be."
"Oh, sho', now! Everybody ain't like
your Aunt Mandany." .
"Sh! Don't speak so loud! Mebliy
he'll be comin' back."
"No, she won't. No matter if she is."
The loud, confident tone rang cheeri
ly in the room.
During the silence that followed Sir.
Baker watched Ann's deft iium,
"Everybody says you're real capa
ble," he rmarked.
A joyous red covered Ann's face.
"I jest about do all tl'V work here,"
she said. . "
She looked at the man again.
There was something curiously sweet
in the simple face. The patient liue at
each side of the close, pale n.otith had
-a strange effect upon Mr. llukor.
He had been known to ay violently
in conversation at the store that he;
"never seen Ann Tracy 'thoot wanting
to thrash her Aunt Jlandany."
"What in time be you dryiu' seek-no-!
furthers for?" he now exc.'nirccrl with j
(somo fierceness. "They're the llattest
kind of apples i know of." .
"That's what aunt says," was the re
ply; "she says they're most as flat's 1
be, 'n' that's flat 'nough."
These words were pronounced as
though the speaker were merely stat
ing a well-known fact.
Then what she do um for?" per
sisted Mr. Baker.
. "She says they're good 'nough to swop
for groceries in the spring."
Mr. Baker made a deep gash in an
apple and held his tongue.
Ann continued her work, but she took
a good deal of seek-no-further with the
akin in a way that would have shocked
Aunt Mandany.
Suddenly she raised her eyes to the
sturdy face opposite her and said:
"I guess your wife had a real good
time, didn't she, Mr. Baker, when she
Was livin'?"
Mr, Baker dropped his knife. He
glanced up and met (he wistful gaze
ippuu UftU.
bomcthinir that he had thouirht lm.tr
dead Urwd"la bit oonwience, I
v hope so.'l.hu said,, gently. "I do
declare i tried to make her have a good
time."
"How long's sho bo'n dead?"
".Most ten years. We was llvin' down
to N'orris Corners then."
. The man picked up his knife and ab
sently tried the edge of it on the ball
of his thumb. .
"I s'pose," said Ann, "that folks are
sorry when their wives die?"
Mr. Tinker gave a short laugh. ;
"Wall, that depends."
"Oh, doeh it? I thought folks had to
love then' wives V be sorry When they
died."
Mr. Baker laughed again. He made
no other auswer for several minutes.
At last he said:
"1 was sorry enough when my wife
died."
A great pile of quartered apples was
heaped up in the wooden bowl before
either spoke again.
Then Ann exclaimed with a pHeeus
intensity:
"Oh, I'm awful tired of bein' Aunt
Mandany's fool!" '.
Mr. Baker stamped his foot Involun
tarily. "
"How jew know they oaU you that?"
he cried, in a great voice.
"I heard Jane Llttlefleld toll Mis'
Monk sho hoped nobody'd ask Man-
daily's fool to tho sociable.
And Mr.
Fletcher's boy told me that's what
folks called me."
"Darn Jane Uttlcfleld! Darn that
little devil of a hoy!"
These dreadful words burst out furi
ously. Perhaps Ann did not look so shocked
as she ouirht.
In a niumcnt she smiled her imma
ture, simple suiilo that had a touching
appeal in it.
" 'Tain't no use denyin' it," she said;
"I ain't jes' like other folks, V that's
a fact. I can't think atiddy more V a
minute. Things all run together, some
how. 'N' the back er my head 's odd 's
it can be."
"Pooh! What of It? There can't anv
of us think stiddy; 'n' if we could what
would it amount to, I should like. to
know? It wouldn' amount to a row of
pins."
Ann dropped her work and clasped
her hands. Mr. Baker saw that her
hands were hard, and stained almost
black on lingers and thumbs by much
cutting of apples. . ,
"Ye sec," she said in a tremulous
voice, "sometimes I think if mother
had lived she'd or treated me so 't 1
could tlauk stidditr. 1 s'pose mother 'd
er loved me. lliey say mothers do.
Hut Aunt Mandany told me mother
died the year I got my fall from the
cherry tree. I was eight then. I don't
remcmljer notion 'bout it, nor 'bout
anything much. Mr. Baker,do you re
member your mother?"
Mr. li.ilter said "Yes," abruptly.
Something uuule. it impossible for him
to say more.
"I'd know how 't is," went on the
thin minor voice; "but it always did
seem to me 's though if I could remem
ber my mother, 1 could think stiddier,
somehow. Do you think I could?"
Mr. Baker started to his feet, .
M 11 ue uurneo 'f 1 c n stan' it," he
shorted-. '"iS'o, nor I won't sum' it,
nuttier!'1
lie walked noisily across the room.
He came back and stood in front of
Ann, who had patiently resumed work.
"Come," he said, "1 think a lot of ye.
Le's git married,"
Ann looked up. She straightened
herself.
"Then I should live with you?"ahe
asked.
"Of course."
She laughed.
There was so much of confident happi
ness in that laugh that the man's heart
glovvea yoututuuy.
- "1 shall be real glad to marry you,
Mr. Baker," she said.
Then, with pride, " 'N' 1 can cook, 'n'
I know first rate how to do house
work." She rose to her feet and flung np her
bead.
Mr. Baker put his arm about her.
"Le's jro right along now," he said,
more quickly thau he had yet spoken.
"We'll call to the minister's 'n' engage
him. You c'n stop there. We'll be
married to-day."
"Can't ye wait till I c'n put on my
runnit 'n' shawl'.1" Ann asked.
She left the room. In a few moments
she returned for going. She had a
sheet of note paper, a bottle of ink and
a pen in her hands.
"1 c'n write," she said confidently,
" 'n' I call it fairer to leave word for
Aunt Mandany."
"All right," was the response; "go
ahead.
Mr. llaker said afterward that he
never got much more nervous in his
life than while Ann was writing that
note. What it Mamluny should ap
pear? lie wasn't going to back out,
but he didn't want to fx-e that woman.
The ink way thick, the pen was like
a phi, ami Ann was a good while mak
ing each letter, but the task waaatlaat
accomplished.
She hold out the sheet to her com
panion. " A iu't that right?" she asked.
' Mr. Ifeer drew his face down sol
emnly ar. lie read:
"It'-re Ant ilii.'.nnic: I'm so dretnill Tired of
becu youio fuul taut iu(6 goiutf too be Mr.
Itaiiejii, ii! i,,.Sii i,io, Ann,"
"That's jest the thing," ho said ex
plosively. "Now, come on."
A.-, they wullied along in the hot fall
sunshine, ?di llaker said earnestly:
"I'm Cfirtain sure wo sh'll be ever SO
much hai pier."
"So'iu 1, Ann replied, wltbchcerful
coniiuenee.
They were on a lonely road, and they
wnihed mind in Hand.
"I'm -nl,:' lo be good to ye," said the
man w;-.l, s.iUmorwcarnostness.. Then
in a ct.ii!;, n.fitvr tone, as if addressing
tucwori-i j l lirfre: "1 guess 'taint no
