CHAPTER XV—Contlnutd. ~; —15 1 1 He knew very well that what she had said about his daughter and Jo seph Stagg was quite true. In his self ishness he -had been glad all these years that the hardware merchant was balked of happiness. The carpenter had always been a self-centered Individual, desirous of his own comfort, and rather miserly. He had not approved,’in the tirst place, of thq intimacy between Joseph Stagg and his daughter' Amanda. ‘‘No good’ll come o’ that,” he had told himself. . That is, no good to Jedidiah Parlow. He foresaw at the start the loss of the girl’s help about the house, for his wife was theu a helpless invalid. Then Mrs. Parlow died. This death made plainer still to the carpenter that Mandy’s marriage was bound to bring inconvenience to him. Especial ly If she married a close-fisted young business man like Joe Stagg would this be true. For, at the reading of bis wife’s will Mr. Parlow discovered that the property they occupied, even the shop in which he worked, which had been given to Mrs. Parlow by her par ents, was to be the sole property of her daughter. Mandy was the heir. Mr Parlow did not possess even a life interest in the estate. It was a blow to the carpenter. He made a good income and had money In bank, but be loved money too well to wish to spend It after be had made !L He did not want to give up the place. If Mandy retuaiued unmarried there would never be any question be tween them of rent on tha Hfce.» . Therefore. If he was-not ac tually the cause of the difference thnT ■rose be* tween the two young people, he seised and enlarged upon It and did all In his power to make a mere inUunder- standing grow Into a quarrel that nei ther of the prond. high-spirited lover* would bridge. Jedidiah Partow knew why Joe Sfagg had taken that other girt fd Faith camp meeting. The young man had stopped at the Parlow place when Amanda was absent and explained to the gtrt‘9 father. Rut the latter had never mentioned this fact to hit da ugh ter. Inatead he had made Joe'a supposed offense the greater hy suggestion and Innuendo. And It wn* he. ton. who had urged the hurt Mandr to retaliate by going to U* dance with another young man. Meeting Joe Stagg Inter, the carpenter had aald bitter thing* to him, purporting to come from Mandy. It waa nil mean and vile? the old man knew It now—aa he had known It then. AU these years he had tried to add fuel to the fire of hla daughters anger •gainst Joe Htagg. And he believed be had benefited thereby. But some how. during the pant few month*, he had begun to wonder If. after all. "the game was worth tW candle.** Roddenly he had gained a.vision of what Amanda Parlow** empty life meant to her. Carolyn May. Interested only in tee ing her friend* made happy, had no Idea of the turmoil she had created In Mr. Parlow’s mind. noting ttie-ttme thnt the uunm waa at the abandoned lumber camp caring for Judy Mason. Carolyn May hoped thnt something might take Uncle Joe there. The next Friday, after school was out, Miss Amanda appcired at the Stagg home and suggested tsklng Caro lyn May into the woods with her, "for the week-end,** as she laughingly said. Tim, the hackman. had brought the nurse home for a few hours and would take her back to Judy’s cabin. “Poor old Judy is much better, but she Is still suffering and cannot be left alone for long,” Miss Amanda said. “Carolyn May will cheer her up.” Mr. Parlow would drive over on Sun day afternoon and bring the little girl home. Of course, Prince had to go along. ». * That Friday evening at supper mat ters In the .big kitchen of the Stagg house were really at a serlbus pass, Jo seph Stagg sat down to* the table visi bly without appetite. Aunty Rose drank one cup of tea after another without putting a crumb between her lips. “Say, Aunty Rose,” demanded Mr. Stagg, “what under the sun did we do At the usual hour he started for The Corners for dinner. Having remained in the store all the morning, he had not realized how much stronger the smell of smoke was than it had been at breakfast time. Quite involuntarily he quickened his pace. { The fog and smoke overcast the sky thickly and made it of a brassy color, just as though a huge copper pot had been overturned over the earth. Wom en stood at their doors, talking back and - forth in subdued tones. There was a spirit of expectancy In the air. The hardware merchant was striding along at a quick pace when he came to the Parlow place; but he was not go ing so fast that he did not hear the carpenter hailing him in his craeked voice. ' ' — “Hey. you, Joe Stagg! Hey. you!” Amazed. Mr. Stagg turned to look. Parlow’ was hobbling from the rear premises, groaning at every step, scarcely able to w’alk. “That sciatica’s got me ag’ln” he snarled. “I’ul. a’most doubled up. Couldn’t climb into a carriage to save my soul.” “What d’you want to climb Into a carriage for?” demanded Mr. Stagg. “ ’Cause somebody’s got to go for that gal of mine—aud little Car’lyn May. Ain’t you heard—or Is your tnlod so sot ou makin* money down tl\fre to jour store that you don't kuow nothin’ elser “Haven’t I heard what?” returned the other with fine restraint, for he saw the old man was lu paiu. " “The flre’a come over to thl* side. I saw the flatus's myself. A n<L Aaron . 4- He could brook moved mysteriously, see the smoke of It now. Amanda Parlow and his niece might even now be threatened by the flames 1 Now that danger threatened the woman he had loved all these years, it seemed as though his mind and heart were numbed. He w’as terrified be yond expression—terrified for her safe ty, and terrified for fear that some body, even Jedidiah Parlow, should suspect just how he felt hbout It. The horse’s hobfs rang sharply over the stony path. Presently they capped a little ridge and started down into a hollow. Not until they were over tha ridge was Mr. Stagg aware that tha hollow was' filled, chokingly filled, wltB billowy white smoke. Another man—one as cautious as the hardware merchant notoriously was—would have pulled the horse down to a walk. But Joseph Stagg’a cautiousness had been flung to^jthn winds. Instead, he shouted to Cherry, and the beast increased his stride. Ten rods further ou the home snort ed. stumbled, and tried to stvp. A writhing, flaming snake—a tTimlng branch—plunged down throu& the smoke directly ahead. “Go on !** shouted Joseph Stagg, with a sharpuess that wxuld ordinarily have set Cherry off at a gallop. But as the suortlng creature still shied, the man seized the whip and lashed poor Cherry cruelly along his flank. At that the horse went mad.

He said that the urgent need of supplying Germany was recognized at Paris. lit signing the armistice last Janu ary, Germany agreed to hand over her commercial fleet/to be used in re- victualling Europe generally, and Ger many particularly. Yet, continued the minister, at a recent meeting at Spa the German delegates declared the .arrangement was unsatisfactory and that they would “absolutely refuse to part with their ships.” The allies were willing. Mr. Pichon went on. not only to supply food, hut to accord credit to Germany, but Ger many must first declare her willing ness to live up to the'conditions of the January armistice.

In the morning there was a smoky fog over everything—a fog that the sun did not dissipate, and behind which it lopked like an enormous saf fron ball. « Mr. Stagg went down to the store as nsual.

I’m awake,” the other returned shortly. “I was Just figuring on who’s got the best horse.” “I have,” snapped Parlow. “Yes. And I’d decided on taking Cherry, too.” the hardware dealer add ed, and swung Into the lane toward the carpenter’s barn. “Hey, yon! . Needn’t be so brash about It,” growled the carpenter. “He’s ray ho&s, I s’pose?” Joseph Stagg went straight ahead, without answering. Having once ^decided on hU course, he wasted no time.

Together they backed the animal be tween the shafts, fastened the traces, and Mr. Stagg leaned quickly to the Seat and gathered up the reins. “You 1 !! bnfter take the FaNow^road,” the carpenter shouted after him. “And have a enre,drlvln’ Cherry—” -Horse and buckboard whirled out of the yard and his voice was lost to the hardware merchant. “Oh.

The hardware dealer tried to think of Just what the fugitives might havo done when they escaped from tho cabin.
