JEFFREY ,
A rrcxti. It wm good to be digging
in the ground! 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.

"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

"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

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."

"Was It a good meeting?"
"Fairly. The attendance wasn't

"I'm glad of that." She tried te

a month. There are, however, about
30 different broods of these 17-year

that some brood appears somewhere
every year. Thus a brood that en
