!<#?YraD5WEn ^4^ \\ DITH had so brooded over I 1 the scene when her ac1 p?tion would finally have || to bo taken on the matJ ??ter, that she shrank with every nerve, suffering as she saw that her husband had finished \ his morning chores at the barns and ^ was coming up tho path ready for breakfast. "We'll have to hurry up aiul get ready or it will be a ease of takincr , tho other fellow'H duct all the way Into town," ho called enthusiastically as he stopped at tho bench outside to wash. The girl kept mechanically at the pans on tho stove. "It's going to bo a great day for the 'Fourth,' " lie continued. "Thero ain't a cloud in the sky." He came in whistling to stop short at the look oil liis wife's face. "I guess I won't go, if you don't mind," she said with an effort, her face white and her eyes meeting liis as she turned around, staring in frightened fashion. "ICs going to bo so hot and?besides I've been to so many Fourth of July celebrations." lie waited until she had placed the dish 011 the table, the anticipation fgone out of his being ? an embittering suspicion creeping in "Not going!" he echoed. "And I've been counting 011 it ever since tho Clarion said Hampton was going to celebrate this year ?counting on both of \is going in together. It's the lirst time since wo ! got married that ? C UCCll ?IIJwhere together." Instead of responding she sought refuge nt the window. The stuffy midsummer morning seemed to he lending an atmospheric depression in keeping with her spirits. f The sickening sun was fairly bla7/ing against the side of the big, red Itoarn, the shadows from the row of Willows seemed half-hearted in their (effort to relieve the sizzling landscape, and the fan at the top of the tall windmill was motionless. He crossed to where she stood and put u sunburnt hand on her shoulder. "You've got to tell me." he said evenly. "I've never paid much attention to this neighborhood gossip, but is it true?are you ashamed to go to town with me?" When she still refused to answer a hardness came into his voice as lie went on. "I was all right to take you home on Friday nights when you came out here to teach school. I was all right to build your fires on cold, wintei mornings. My father's farm that he left me here was all right. It was the farm, was it, and tlie fact, that you were tired of teaching school that you || gave in to marry me? You were tired of the small pay, and the foreign kids, .1 i ti- ?* ? ixn(i tntj iruuuio wnn mo directors. That was why you married me, was it? Other folks have been saving these tilings. I'm beginning to believe them now." AVItli a sob she turned until she was in his arms. ^ "No! No!" she hysterically defended. "Then you'll go," ho concluded, the tenderness coming back. "It won't bo so hot with the top on the buggy." Ho drew himself away to get the answer, hut it was not forthcoming. ^ow nftflin, her > fi'ifici-s at her lips. ) ""SlIP limw 11 wo"<? 1.0 all 1 i ii t'f'M'i light lo go in her TSvW) 1 ipt/Jfil "Oft ?f way?to 1 \ he onlookers rntiiI c'r than a part of \\lfT /Alia ' K! *'lG clownishness, s T$ fc\'? but, as a girl in k. r town, she could '* ^ !

L "You are ashamed of me," ho interrupted. "You're saying bo with your ^ actions if you won't speak. But you bet I'm not going to have my fuu spoiled. I'm going anyway." When he came down from upstairs a few minutes later his overalls and 1 big straw hat had been changed for I a suit of ill-fitting black, a faded derby was placed low over his long crop of hair, and a handkerchief protected his ? celluloid collar. When men dress up but seldom the tricks come clumsily. Neither spoke during the breakfast. \ lie ate sullenly, and the mado no ^ pretensions of an appetite. A half- ? hour later he drove with a dash to the door, the horses groomed, the t buggy shining, a bow of patriotic rib- ^ boil from some former occasion tied ( to the whip. She knew it was his j final Invitation. K "I'm coming," she called from the doorway with a half sob. "It won't take me but a minute." . How deeply she loved him was im- j pressed on the verge of his really going without her. As she changed her dress hastily a sort of pang came with her woman's f intuition that the skirt was too full for t the change of stylo that had come j with the new season; the white of j 1'' *ler C(jllar was con* trastyd with the < j - *tail in her face as ^ (L -^?Y 8,10 lla(1 a?vcr noyP^^Sxknew full well, as | B*10 a(^in^r" i *ng Kaze upon her | ^ &S '10 ^e^e(* lier i ^ As the horses - y'' swerved madly j int? the main road, Edith became j aware of how oth- f ere were on their way to the county- * I seat. The knee-high cornfields, robbed | now of every trace of morning dew, shimmered beneath tho blue sky as if, | somehow, the occasion in town had i affected nature itself. Among the 1 other vehicles of a more old-fashioned < sort an automobile chugged past. i " "We'll have one of those, too, one of these days," commented Henry as ' ho reined the horses from their fright. ' ! "It's Sid Koffmeicr and his girl. Did 1 you notico the paint on her face?" "I was looking at the country," an- 1 Bwered Edith, arousing herself. "I'm ?, afraid we don't appreciate what Dakota is coming to." "I like a big day In town myself," : j mused Ilenry, cracking the whip as a signal to the horses. "1 haven't missed a 'Fourth* since 1 was a kid. Used to get sick usually on candy and lemonade and from walking around on the plank sidewalks in a new pair of shoes. Hast few years there's been a gang of lis go in together. Sid and I and a bunch of us have had some great times together. The dance is about the best part of it." The girl turned her gaze to the roadside vegetation?the mullein and the; foxta.il mixed with the buffalo grass in which the insects kept midsummer . chorus.. The old fear seized her. Perhaps she had made an awful mistake as her aunt and her girl friends in town had predicted?a girl of education and refined tastes marrying un uncultured "rube." Goon after their arrival in town they parted, and Edith decided she would go to her aunt's. It. would be cool ! there and quiet, and away from the crowds and anything Henry might do beforo them. ; Aunt was in her garden back of the little white house, puttering about as if there were 110 Fourth of July celebration. She glanced up from her cabbage and potato beds with surprise and joy at seeing her niece. 1 "Yes, we came in tiiia morning," Bucklen's Arnica Salve for Cuts, Burns, Sores. Mrs. E. S.
