pleading that Martha enliven their
long autumn evenings with "tunes"

of the home Man ha hud as steadfast
Iy refused to touch it.
"Thankful indeed!" muttered Martha
again after Mrs. Loyd had left
the room. "1 declare! Sometimes I
think if I was a man I'd swear!"
She blushed after that remark and
hid her thin face In her hands.
"Everything's gone wrong!" she wailed
softly. "To think after I had

bidn't been so hasty I might have
gone on working. I would soon have
hid money enough to set out and look
for Darius, not that I expect he's
a'Jve now," she hastily added. She
arose and paced her half of the
square room. "I hate this old place?1
hste this home!" she said between
her clenched teeth.
Mrs. Loyd, who was now standing
In the doorway, heard her and drew
her mouth in sudden dismay. "I'd be
afraid to say that. Mrs Butterworth.
It's flying in the face of Providence
to say such things. I've got a sister
who is crazy to come here and stay,
only she hasn't got $oOO to buy her
way. if she was here with we we'd
be perfectly happy, and you're ct'owlir?

"Yes. It's a nice, easy life, and
we've always had to work dreadful

"You dou't know. May he I'rovi

Martha Butterwortb. suddenly losing
her bitterness. "I know of somebody
who is tired of it and wants to leave.'
"You mean you?" cried Mrs. Loyd.
Martha noddid "If 1 do. your sister
can have my membership."
"Oh. oh." j-ried Mrs. Loyd delighted
ly. "that Is good of you. Martha Butterworth
If you don't change your
mind Hannah will spend the best
Thanksgiving she ever had!"
"I shan't change my mind." said'
Martha decidedly. "Tou can write and
tell her she can have my half of the

want you to thank me It's not 1h?
cause I'm kind hearted, for I'm no'
I'm dreadful bitter I do it gladly because
I want to go away from here."
Those are the words that Varth.

"Somebody want* to w you. Mrs

"Some one to see me?" Martha was
surprised for most of the censorious 1

removed to other states, and she had
