CHAPTER II
Meely Schwenckton, hurrying back
breathlessly through the October
twilight to th farm house, lest the
ntoc ratio head of the bouse Ret In
from the fields ahead of her and be
come suspicious of her goings-on,
seemed to have undergone a trans
formation since she had left her lover.
Not only bod ahe managed, on the
way home, to shed her cheap, gaudy
frock of blue voile for a trim tullored
tilt, but also that veil of bovine dull
ness which ber pretty face had worn
bad been replaced by a soft, bright
' amusement ; her timid bearing, so ab
jectly expressing a tense of Inferior
ity, was changed to look of sup
pressed excitement, an air of Intense
vitality, which made her recent hu
mility unimaginable.
Reaching the kitchen porch of the
farm house, she was brought up
short as her hand touched the latch
of the door, by the sound of a whin
ing natal voice within, reproaching
and threatening, to the accompani
ment of a child's crying.
Meely's hand dropped from the
latch and she stood listening, a took
Id ber eyes of mingled distress and
disgust
"When your Pop heart how you
done me dirt this after," whined the
nasal voice, "oh. but you'll get the
good whlppln', Lizzie Schwencktonl
(meet I tell him how yon run out
. after school and let me with all the
work, mebby you won't ketch It with
that there twitch he keeps bandy I
Letttn' me alone here with all the
diapers and all the cleanln' and
cool-In and hit tick wife and baby to
tend I Well ! of ! all ! things I Tes,
If he don't gire yon the worst twitch
In' you ever bad, then I dont know
the man"
"Ach. Aunt Hosy, dont tell hlra !"
the child's voice begged In gasping
sobs. "Ill help yon now I'll do this
here whole tub full of wash In' and
HI wash all the supper dishes for you
- you can Just tet and rest yourself-"
"Well, I guess anyhow youH wash
the tupper dishes after the smart
twltchln' you're gettin'I That'll make
yon spry for couple dnys, I guess.
If my tnlkln' at you don't I Tou
needn't to beg me"
The nasal whine flopped short at
the speaker became aware of a third
person In the room, though site had
not heard the opening of the door.
(There stood Steely, her back against
the kitchen door, looking at Aunt
Rosy with those bright, clear eyes of
ben that somehow always cowed the
woman, giving ber, unreasonably, a
tense of guilt which the resented.
Always she was resolving that she
would not let herself be "downed" by
thli "high-minded hussy" who bad no
rights In this house anyway.
"I'll thow her who's got' rlghtt
here'" the daily determined.
Tet the found herself Just now, at
always when confronted by the silent
criticism of thli girl's confusing re
gard, trying apologetically to Justify
herself.
"Mind yon what Llztle done yet I
I give her the diapers to wash after
school and the run out to play and let

found refuge In the home ot her
grandmother and Jakey, seventeen
years old, having disappeared entire
ly to the genuine distress aa well as
Inconvenience ot their father to whom
Jakey especially had been a great
help on the farm. Rut the other two,
Lizzie and Sammy, were too young
to escape.
The one toft spot about Aunt Rosy,
apparently, was her devotion to her
young tlster, Susie, Mr. Schwenck
ton's girl wife, whom she had "raised"
from a baby. Rut although she Idol
ized Susie, she completely dominated
her. In all things Susie followed ber
elder sister's advice and Judgment
and obeyed her, when the wnt with
her, at much now aa when, before her
marriage, she had lived In Rosy'f
home. Susie wat the only person In
the world who did not find Rosy re
pulsive. Ten-year-old Lizzie, a thin, delicate
looking child, wat working frantically
at a wash-tub at the tar end of the
cluttered, dirty kitchen, crying hys
terically while she worked, terrified
of the punishment hanging over her.
Meely, going across the room to
hang her Jacket on a rack on the
wall, spoke over her shoulder In reply
to Aunt Rosy't complaints, her pleat
ant tone and manner betraying none
of the loathing the felt towards the
woman. "Rut since you didn't do the
cleaning. Aunt Rosy (look at thli
kitchen!) nor the diapers, and kept
Sammy home from school to wait on
Susie, what have yon done all day?
And Mr. Schwenckton won't like It,
you know, that you're having the
diapers washed here In the kitchen
where we have to eat
It Is to be noted that Meely't accent
and diction were .not now to studious

had talked with St Crotx Crelghton

of the kitchen door and the entrance
of the farmer In overalls.
Llzzle'l crying wat Instantly choked
back while she bent to her work
more frantically than ever; and Aunt
Rosy acquired suddenly a great air
of Industry about the ttove and table.
Mr. Schwenckton, closing the door
behind blm. stood surveying with dis
gust the disorder and dirt of the
kitchen.

"Well, 1 wouldn't go to far at to

The Amerlcnn visitor to Guatemala
Is likely to land at Puerto Harriot, on
the Atlantic or Caribbean side of this
country. Thli port, set on the Inner
rim of Amntlqtie bay, li alluringly
beautiful from the steamer. Though
one accepts It aa a tropical dream
come true, It does not bear cle In
spection. Here Is the north coast ter

Fruit company. Aside from these.
Puerto Harries does not Intrigue one

Is the hotel the tye to which one
yeami to return.
A few decades ign the Guatemalan
government concluded to build I rail
way connecting Us capital and west
roast coffee plantations with the north
coast markets. When this road was
half-finished, both money and credit
ran low, leaving a pair of rails begin
ning at tidewater and ending at a
spot In the broad, warm deoert sur
rounding KI Itanrhe. Then an Ameri
can atepped Into the breach, com
pleted the railway, and made It pos
sible fur passengers to ride on a well
equipped train from the shlptlde to
most of the population centers of the
republic.
First Impressions of Guatemala
have to do with countless bunches of
green bananas, for this northern
fringe of the republic Is bananaland.

Railways, banana walkt, adminis

modern towns these hsve all been
built In order that a fleet of vessels
may be fed two-score million bunches
of bananas yearly. It Is efficiency snd
organization par excellence.
Reduced to Its least common de
