THE HOMECOMING
By QCOJIQETTK V. JOYAL.
(Ooj>yrUIH, i?y .vtcClurc Nvnupu^r
SymUcut*.)
, **I do wish we would hear from Carl,
.daddy!" Mrs. Barke said oqq morning
at the hreakfuxt table.
ICver since the children Had l>een
small. Mrt*. Barke luul always addrosa
ed her huahaud by the name of "dad*
dy.f The family had uot heard froin
Carl, the oldest <me, for over four
week*, aud the mystery an to his where
abouts waa at III unsolved.
"Cheer op, Betty I" came the cheerful
response from Mr. Barke. "Maybe
he'll surprise An* by corning home him
self."
"How true!" Mildred exclaimed.
"And won't It bo Just too good a
treat to see him in hla uniform!" At
thin she jumped from her chair and
started to fox trot around the roots.
"I dimply cannot eat another bite!
I am going upstairs to study hef6re I
dress for church."
"What a dear little girl Mildred 1*?
daddy. If I should lose her I'd^be at
a loss what to do now, since Clayton
has gone." ?
Mr. Barke rem&lued silent. He was
thinking. "Clayton Im so unllko Carl,"
Mrs, Barke went on. "lie likes soci
ety and roaming arouud. Carl la re
served. I hope be comes to s?*e us be
fore he goes ^across' ? If he isn't there
now."
"Ob, I don't, think so ! I wouldn't
worry if I were you, Bess 1 1 think Cart
will come home be/ore night. I really
do !" mused Mr. Barke. .
"You dear! You're ho encouraging,
dearl What! Hulf-pofct nine! J nev
or renll/.ed It was as lato as thai^! Hur
ry up, dad; we'll be late for church 1"
It. was Sunday. The sun shone bright
ly and a strong , wind was blowing
fiercely.
Mildred came tripping downstairs.
"Aren't you folks reudy yet?" seeing
no one about. "Mahtma," she cried,
"I'm going along with Viola aud
Diana, They're just coming out of thd
academy. All right, tnammat" A soft
"Yes, dear," came from upstairs and
Mildred, left the house.
Three hours later Mr. Barke left to
call on the president of the bank of
which he himself was cashier. ? Mildred
was entertaining one of her few boy
friends whom she had known all her
young life. Soft strains of music (Mil
dred loved the piano and played It
well) came from the parlor. In the liv
ing r6otn Mis. Barke sat thinking.
..Two years ago at Christmas time her
son Carl had come home from college
for the Christmas recess.. How she
had enjoyed him in that short vaca
tion ! He graduated that year and Im
mediately entered an officers' training
school. Carl frequently wrote homo.
His letters were very encouraging. Ha
loved his work and studies. He waa
"honorbound," us he pat It, to make
| good. .
During the lust mouth Mrs. Burke
hud. received bo mall whatever from
her soldier boy. "Even If I knew
where I was going, mother," he wrote,
"I would not be allowed to tell you."
Since then not u word.
Five o'clock' was striking by the big
"grandfather" clock In the reception
hall. Mildred had Just dismissed heir
caller and happened t? look out of the
wlndojv just after closing the door.
"Mamma ! Oh, mamma ! Here comes
Carl!" she cried. "No!" replied the
mother, disturbed In her reverie. *'Yes 1
yes 1 Truly mamma 1 Here's Carl iH
Mrs. Barke hurried to the parlor wtfr
dow and, true enough, there was bfcr
big Carl coming up the walk.
Without even pausing to throw a
wrap over the thin georgette crepe
wafet which she \^pre, Mrs. Barke ran
out of the house. While the wind
played havoc with her carefully ar
ranged hair, she threw her arms about
h$r boy's shoulders and kissed him
time and again.
Realizing the cold his mother endan*
gered out In the wind, he gently led ^er
Into the house. Ail this time Mildred
had been so moved by the beautiful
picture her mother and brother made
slio couldn't leave the window. When
they entered the hall Mildred clung to
"her brother fully a xulnute before she
could utter a word.
In the meantime Mrs. Barke tele*
phoned her husband . "Daddy," she
said, "Carl's home! Yes!? Ye*!-?
Yes! About two minutes ago-! Pad
dle quick I"
As the mother returned, Carl, with
his arms about his young sister, was.
saying, very modestly, "I received my
commission as lieutenant a week ago,
I have been in Kansas all these weekfe
and so I couldn't write to you. 1 spent
two days in Washington on my way
home. I tiled to get a train out when
I arrived In Boston this morning, hot
it has been canceled"*
"Wasn't there a ttain hi 7 If you had
but telegraphed. Dad would have met
you ab the station!" crfrd his mother,
flushed with the excitement. "Mother,
dear, I wouldn't keep you In suspense
one minute If X could help it. - Never
mind, I'm here for five days, anyway,"
he gently replied, kissing her.
"This Is the Very best treat I have
had in many years and Fm going to
make the best of it, too! You won't
leave my side much while you are here,
Carl, will you, dear?" "Not at all
mother; not at aHI"
Short, quick footsteps sounded on the
cement walk. In less than two seconds
Mr. Barke was In the room. Grasping
his aoldle.* son's hand with both his
; own in a Arm, hard grasp, he held It,
it he admiringly *nld. "My boy I My
