With him eomea Ned Car ter, a atranKer, whom rattbe In troduce to "Aunt Lyddy," hie old housekeeper, at a nephew. Later Dab be admit! to Aunt Lyddy that Carter li a chance acquaintance, veteran of the World war, whom he had met In New York and taken a lik ing to.

They almost run over a doc belong Inn to a girl whom Carter ap parently recognises. Ned de livers a grocery order, and In his absence th (Irl, Dorothy Selden, says that she knows Ned's last name to be Rantreley, and that he Is the famous bank er's son. Next morning Ned be Kins work as a delivery boy. De livering; an order marked "John ston" at the "White House," he meets a girl who tells him shs and her mothtr are alone, the servanta having left. Ned prom ises to ret help. Meeting Doro thy, his former fiancee, he svadea telling why he Is In Peace Val ley. CHAPTER III Continued Instantly, Ned and Jenny started down the road. Dorothy called to him, surprise In her voice. Was It possible her diagno sis of th fleeing maid and the seeking lover could be wrong? "Why, Ned, you're not leaving rue like that, are you?" "I am," Ned called back to her. "I'm buoy tills morning. Tou aeem to forget that we worker must work." The stonemason lived In tumble down old farmhouse across the creek, halfway between Clover Hollow and Peace Valley. It was beautiful to look at, from distance, but when you got to the stony road In front of It you saw both farm and bouse bad been neglected for years. To Claude Dubbs the neglect was far more evident than the beauty. He put his empty box down by what passed for a gate, so that It might be sign and symbol of his presence to Ned when he came by, and went up the rough driveway to see Ettle Pulsl fer and And out If William Penn Pulsl fer bad any Intention of working this week. Claude had gone to school with Ettle. He remembered her when she was pink and pretty, and be hated to tee her tolling with so little prospect of reward for her labor. Ettle was at a tub In the back yard, washing, with two very small chil dren playing it her feet. Another child, not much older, was driving his next brother about the yard as a flr engine. Two more children were lean ing from an upper window, trying vainly to reach a cat on the shed root. Te cat, being far more com fortable on the roof than It would be In their hands, was protesting. The oldest but one, a girl, was helping Ettle with the wringing. "My land. Claude, that your Ettle called, tossing back a dark brown lock with a wet, soapy hand. "William Fenn Pulslfer's gone down to the vil lage with Penny to look about for some boards for somepln'. He told me. If you happened along, to say that he'd try to git that chimbly pointed on Bert Oakley's house come next Thurs day, If It don't rain." All right, Ettle," Claude answered and avoided looking at her, as he had during all Kale's nervous speech. Well did both Ettle and Claude know that William Penn Pulslfer had prom ised to come next week Thursday for some ten weeks. Hut It was Ettle' part to hold the banner high and so screen some of William Penn Pulsl fer's shortcomings, and It was Claude's part not to peep through the rents In the banner lest he wight see the naked truth. Ettle sighed ss she looked over Joward Claude Da Mis, who had Toots en3 the others on bis knees and all About him. "I declare, Claude Pnbbs, seems a ahame you're an old bachelor, and you o fond of 'em. Ought to have had dozen of your own." "Things ' are uneven In this One world, Ettle," was Claude' comment, s be looked up th road, along which Jenny and Ned were tearing at full t-peed. "Got a fine young man visit ing me. My adopted nephew. Here he comes." He wulked toward the gute, followed by all the children. Presently Ettle, looking up from the washing, saw that he wa coming back bguln, accompanied by th children and the young man. Jenny hud been tied to the last remaining gate post. Ettle ungraciously acknowledged Claude's Introduction, though her mind was perfectly cordial toward the young man, It being no part of coun try etiquette to look either pleased or gracious on such an occasion, lest ad vantage b taken. Whut advantage, and why, no one knows, hut custom lias apparently decreed that they who make their living from th soli, shull, despite nature's generous teaching. In stinctively distrust their fellow mnn Cluuds briefly ou lined to Ettle the fly MARGARET TURNBULL Copyright, llll, by Vsrserei Turnbalk WNU Service situation at the White house tud con cluded by asking: "Could you do a day's general house work and cooking, Ettle, for the new folks up there?" "My land, what' come to their cook?" asked Ettlo, country fushlon, refusing to commit her&elf until she had had all the facts spread out be fore her. Ned said easily; "They left because they thought It looked lonely. Servants leave nowadays, dont they, without any reason?" Here Claude looked up and took hold of the situation, lest the ener getic little bundle of nerves leaning against her washtub might take ex ception to this ofTlinnd city person's way of explaining a case. "My nephew, here, says there" Just a young girl up there, trying to run that big house herself and keep her mother quiet I don't know anything about them, Ettle, but It would be rent neighborly to help out I'll send Ned to take you there tomorrow morning If you can manage It." "I'm busy." acknowledged Mrs. Pul slfer, "but If It's a case of real need cesslty, I could go." "That' real good of you, Ettle," Claude said heartily, and Indicated to Ned they'd better go, Ned hurried down the lane to witle Jenny. Claude r. n. "First Time In My Life Anyone Told Me I Had Beautiful Eyes." paused to say to Ettle, as be sep arated himself gently from clinging little bands: "The way I look at it, the mother probably won't do any thing, and It' a good deal to fall on th shoulders of a girl." "Won't hurt her none," sniffed Mr. Pulslfer, "but of course all them Clover Hollowers pay good money, and it' a real nlst place, I own, Claude, I klnda like to see what they've done to the house. It certainly la a pretty home." Tea. ain't It," Claude agreed appre ciatively. "Well. I'll send the boy round at half-past eight, Ettle, to take you to the I declare I don't know their name. They came while I was In New York." "That's a good morning's work, on," be said amiably as he mounted the wagon seat beside Ned. Not for worlds would he allude to Dorothy Selden and her revelations, for that was, as Dabhs would have phrased It, "up to Ned." If It was, Ned showed no sign of being about to Introduce the ludy Into the conversation. "I say, C. M, there' something I'd like to fix up with you before we get to borne and Aunt Lyddy. Though you found me on a park bench, I have some money, and I'd like to pay my way." "Look here. Ned," Claude flushed and stammered, "there's no necessity and and when I asked yon to Peace Valley, J asked you to stay with me. I can afford It. Afterward, If you like, we can arrange something, if you'll only tay." Ned smiled at him. "Surely, I'll stay, If you keep me busy." Conversation languished after that, for Dubbs waited for Ned to choose WYsA 4X,XXrXrX'X'XXXX4XrXrXX',XfXX'fXrXrXXXXX,XX "Wakes Sunday" Long A neeuliar religious festival known a "Wake Sunday" used to be held, and Is still observed In th north of England and elsewhere In honor of the duy of dedication of the parish church. On thl anniversary It wa customary for the younger parishioner to keep watch In the church upon the night preceding the feust-dny from whlcn Is derived the curious term "wukes." About the middle of the Seventeenth century, however, It was ordained thut ull church wakes were to be held upon the first Sunday In October Instead of on different dates as had previously been the case, and for about two hun dred years later, Wake Sunday and the duy following was a recognized na tional festlvul, akin to the modern Dunk holiday. In Herefordshire the duy following Wukes Sun duy wa juamp 1 the subject. He glanced agnln at the young man beside him and noted the set of hla Jaw. "Anything disagree able happen to you up at the White house?" he Inquired. Ned shook his head. "Only aw that girl I told you about. Perfect peach. She took the order from me." Ned relapsed Into silence, "What was their name?" Mr. Pnbbs asked, getting out his little memo randum book and preparing to note It "I asked Ettle, but she dldnt know." "Johnston," said Ned, dwelling on It ".Miss Johnston." Pabbs stared at him. "Johnston. Oh, well, that's a pretty common name round these parts. Any more In the family besides the girl and the moth er?" "Pon't know," Ned admitted. "Find out tomorrow, when you take Ettle there." "What difference doe It maker Pnbbs laughed. "You'll mnke a pretty good grocer's clerk, Ned, If you can't figure out that for yourself. So many mouths,' so many more loaves of bread ordered Put that Isn't why I asked. I've got a dozen or more 'Johnstons' and 'Johnsons' on my book already, and beside, I'm agent for the property and I really ought to know something about these people." Rut Ned was paying little attention. He was oft on another train of thought entirely, a Pabbs was to discover, for he let Jenny have free rein while he put a cigarette In his mouth. "You've seen the girl, C M, for Pve Just remembered that she cam Into the store last night and you di rected her to Clover Hollow." He leaned forward to take a light from Pabbs. "She bns the most extraordinary blue eyes 1 Yon never saw such eyes. Why, they're like like " He looked up to see Claude laugh ing, and added quite Involuntarily: "Like your, C, M." "Well I be d d!" wa Claude' equally (pontaneous retort. "First time In my life any one ever told me I had beautiful eyes!" CHAPTER IV That night Ned loy awak think ing of Dorothy 8elden' reappearance In his life, and bow little It meant to him now. When be slept be dreamed of a blue-eyed Kapunxel who let down her hair. Claude Pabbs, also wakeful, pns tllng how to keep Ned Interested In Peace Valley, finally slept: to dream of a beautiful woman named Johnston pursuing him, accompanied by gigan tic dogs all answering to the name of Peter. Ned again surprised Claude by ris ing early and cheerfully setting out for Pulslfer's farm. However, Wil liam Penn Pulslfer and, hi son Penny bad decided to work, for awhile, near by. Because of this. Ettle felt that she must supply them with a hot din ner, and so could not come to the White house until one o'clock. Ned agreed to come again at one o'clock If Miss Johnston still wanted her, and took his way to the White house. It promised to be an amusing day, he thought, ss be knocked at the kitchen door. "Blue Eyes," wttb flaming cheeks, opened the door. This had been a terrible morning of starting open fires, lighting a kitchen range, and trying to find tilings In a strange kitchen, In a strange house. Ned proceeded to explain Mrs. Pulsl fer' absence. Mary Mattered, murmured her thanks, and praised Mr. pnbbs for his kindness In sending help. She would be glud to see Mrs. Pulslfer that aft ernoon. "What will you do nowr Ned asked, anxiously looking at the pile of dishes on the table before her. "Let me help you."
