Ai long ai you could get closa enough to the earth people didn't ieem ao Important. Emily waa eonalderlng her-beda ot annuals: acabloaa (It aounded like a dlaeeee Instead of a flower!) ag eratum, painted dalslea. "Do you think tbla woodi dirt la too rich the way It la, Andrew?" Andrew scratched hla woolly head. Xawd, maw'm. Them llowere'll save a fit In It!" She dwelt with pleaaure upon the idea ot her flowera baring a (It In their beds, and then remembered that her mother waa leaving this morning for two daya at .Freeby terlal. She west to telephone Jef frey. "Dad, aren't you a widower tonight?" It waa good to ba digging In the ground, Jeffrey, with no trace ot bereave ment In hla voice, admitted It. "Then you must come and have dinner with me. Edwin will be at a merciants' meeting and we can have a grand time settling the universal problems." "There's nothing I'd like better," Jeffrey assurd her eagerly. . "Nor 1. Any preference about the menu?" "Do you mean It?" Hla vole waa wistful "Of course I do. Tbla la your party." "Then I'd like a steak a foot thick and some French-fried potatoes and a piece ot apple-ple with Ice-cream." "And hot biscuits?" "And plenty ot hot biscuits." Frances had been rather restrict lng his diet of late. Too much red meat and too many starches, she Insisted, were bad tor a man "ot bis age." . Sbe stopped to give Narcissus the menu before she went back to the garden and dropped on her knees before the annual bed. "Miss Emily, that ain't no Job to' a little thing lak you. Walt till I gits to It." "but thla la the part I like best, Andrew." She thought of Kipling: "Ariim was a gardener, and Ood, who made him, eeea That half a proper f arriener'a work la dona upon hla kneee " This waa the only time, she ad mitted to herself, that she felt at ease In that position, JEFFREY looked keenly at her across the candle-lit table. "Yon look a little tired, Mick. Feeling all right?" Sbe wasn't, but she hesitated to lay another worry upon hla shoul ders. They weren't, she realised sadly, aa strong aa they had once been. Sbe loved hliu ao much that the alght of him across her dinner table made her throat feel tight. "Nothing but aprlng fever, dar ling. I always get this way when spring comes." He looked relieved, but not en tirely reassured. "I was afraid you were worrying about something." It waa a leading remark, sbe knew. "I stopped worrying.

Since then I're taken each day as it comes." "And how have they comef She smiled at him. "About aa well ae can be expected, aa they say when the patient la critically I1L" "No better than that?" "Most ot the time they've been a great deal better than that, but thla humanizing process Is long and tedious. I'm not aura I wouldn't be wiser to stop struggling. What do you think?" He smiled ruefully. . Shook . hla head. "Don't ask me. I wish I knew. I stopped.". "I know you did. And was It easier afterwarde?" Jeffrey Felton hesitated.. "I think It waa. Your mother la a wonderful woman," be added has tily, "and I'm damn' grateful to her." I'l know, darling," she answered him quickly. "And Edwin la a won derful man. But life la so real and earnest to them both." He grinned understanding. "And ao black and white. No shadings everybody either sheep or goata." YES." She had felt that mor keenly about Edwin than any thing else. "A thing Is either exact ly right or terribly wrong, and people are either good or very bad. I trletl to argue with blm once that sin was a purely relative term, be cause a thing that waa a sin yester day waa frequently an act of grace today, and that the aame thing might be true of today and tomor row. I might have been swearing In Sanskrit! ; "He's been wonderful about my dereliction," she admitted hon estly. "Not a word of reproach. But be often looks at me aa If he'd lust found out that 1 waa a changeling. I shock him dreadfully." Her father looked steadily at her. "You are different, Mick. More alive, although that'a not exactly the word I want. I've wondered If your bid for freedom did that for you." Sbe looked thoughtful. "1 think perhaps It did." Sbe told him what Charlotte had said ot the relative Importance ot being happy and be ing alive. "And I think she's right: I'd much rather be alive, aa you eay I am, than merely resigned, 'Bloody but unbowed,' you know." He nodded soberly, and thought with a atab ot pain that he would have given everything he possessed to have her merely unbowed. "Suppose." he euggested thought fully, "that you keep on trying with Edwin, and we") see which way la best, yours or mine. And If It doesn't work, honey, I':i stay with you till the last gun's fired." Jeffrey had Just left when Edwin came home. Edwin was president ot the Merchants' Association now; the youngest man ever to hold the of fice. He took hla duties very seri ously. Emily accepted a kins ot greet ing that waa a trifle absent-minded. "Was It a good meeting?" "Fairly. The attendance wasn't what It should have been, and It's very hard to accomplish much un less there's concerted action, but we got several Important measures passed." "I'm glad of that." She tried te be Interested, but groceries wen difficult to get excited over unlesa of course, you were suddenly de prlved of them.
