tbe world stand ah adds ring 6q the threshold of winter bat this par ticular monday was fall of balm and sun shine tho air sweet with the indescribable perfume of the colored leaves which were drifted apalon the roadside and collected in ra5llm layers under the stoao-foanda- tioqs of exmouth jail overhead the tky was bine as a sapphire and here and there alotj this woodpath a stray wildflower lifted its purple eye the last lingering relic of the golden september glow doctor fitch rode along the lonely bridle path the soond of his horses hobfs on the dead leaves reminding him vaguely of the days long long ago wheo be was a boy aud scoured these very woods in search of nats and htm ted sqnirreld and chipmunks with a delight which moose and red doer would not give him now if one cooid only be boy forever said royal fitch hallo whos that as his horse shied slightly at sight of a slender figure sitting on a fallen log a few feet back of the road oh its you mary trefoil yoa got your discharge this morn ing mary trefoil looked up a darkeyed pallidfaced woman of two or three and twenty doctor fitch knew her very well she had been in exmouth prison three months for theft and during these three months she had loin nearly at the point of death in the hospital ward with a low lingering fever doctor fitch was rather proad of the skill which had rescued her from the jaws of death he stopped his horse and looked at her yes sir said mary trefoil spiritless ly ive got my discharge and where are you going now i dont know sir iwhere are your friends he asked not unkindly i have none sir bat this- wont do said doctor fitch noting the troubled light in the girls ere the deadly whiteness of her brow and cheeks look here you must go some where you know you cant sit here cant you think of any place where they would give you food and shelter for a few days until you get strong mary trefoil shook her head she did not seem to be at all interested in the question doctor fitchs hone reached up his head and browsed on the still green leaves of a wild grapevine which the boughs of a cedar hod sheltered from the early frost doctor fitch himself sat like a statae and looked at mary trefoil a social problem he said inwardly and she must be solved somehow mary he spoke aloud can yoa walk a mile i suppose so sir then walic along by my horses side i know a good old lady who wants a girl perhaps youd suit her she need not know who you are or wiienee you came i didnt put myself in eimouth jail sullenly retorted mary and i have told one story from the binningthat i had nothing to do with the silver i dont know bow it came into my trunk i didnt know it was there until the officer dragged it out before my eyes the law thought differently said doctor fitch who aa prison physician had beard these protestations of innooenoy from scores of lips before however that is not the question we art discussing just at present will yoa try to deserve my reoommeudation if i give you one heaven helping me sir i will 1 said mary trefoil evidently affected by his kindnnu qhewauked boside tho tor to some little duitefloe until dawns t which seemed rjaiidireoly into the woodsy tijdjum to mi7tjfod boose all mahoed witiipreepers with jtj3ni and the whir of a grist mill sounding some where in tbe background like the ceaseless hum of some gigantio insect good afternoon mrs glover i said doctor fitch have yon suited yourself yet with a girl mr glover an applofaced woman of sixty looked at them through a pair of round nilver trimmed spectacles ko sir nor i aint like to said she betsey eeene she has gone in the mil linery trade and lacey loveyshe well ive brought yoa one said doctor royal fitch come here mary this is mary trefoil with a quick glance at tho silent girl i know who she is and i can answer that she will do her best to please you and make herself useful indeed i will maam said mary in a low voice folks live about here said mrs glover i have no relatives vald mary i come from the northern part of the coun ty all the better said the old lady briskly you r wont have no followers well mary j wont deny that im awful glad to see you for im ptttty nigh tuck ered oat with doing all the chores myself to be sure my son daniel helps me morn ings and evenings before be goes to teach does trick bchool for be s a scholar my son is with conscious pride and father he does what he can bat a man cant do mach beside tendon gristmill in a puce like this yoa look a little white and peaked but oh- shell be all right in this pure air with plenty of your new milk and home made bread 1 said doctor fitch cheer- ily and with a whispered word or two of encouragement to mary trefoil he rode away on thanksgiving uty nearly a month later he came back hello 1 said doctor fitch why mary yon look like a different creature mrs glover had tone to church with hereon daniel and father all undis tnayed by tho occasional flakes of enow which were beginning to flutter through the air and tbe howling of the wind down the glen mary trefoil was tripping around the kitchen with an unwonted tinge of color in her cheeks and her soft brown hair parted from her forehead and a red ribbon tied at the side she stopped with a milk jug in her hand and looked at dr- fitch brightly i am like a different creature sir said she thanks to you so its all going right eh v said the doctor ton like the place lam perfectly happy here said mary but oh doctor i have no one to consult and ive asked myself the question so many times over that everything seems distorted in my eyes i wonder if i might dare to speak ont my mind to yoa what on earth is the girl talking about said doctor fitch if i cooid only see the prison chap lain come ill officiate as prison chaplain for the time being said doctor fitch goodhumoredly out with your trouble i what is it 1 well it it isnt exactly a trouble confessed mary busying herself with polishing the great red apples which were to be the crowning glory of the dessert but i think i am almost certain that daniel glovtr is getting fond of me hal lol said the doctor oh doctor faltered poor mary ought i to tell him all hold your tongue said the doctor brusquely a close month makes a wise bead 1 you say you are innocent of all those charges i was innocent 1 oried mary i am innocent 1 very well said doctor fitch then yoa are aa good aa he is and with a few kindly words he rode on but as mr and mis glover wen com ing leisurely home from anarch wiih daniel sauntering behind a sullenyed tramp alouched up to the former touching his cap be yoa the gristmill man saidi he i em the miller friend said mr glover well then said the dnstyfooted stranger it is my bounden duty to tell yoa that youre harboring a prisonbird in your borne wnat cried old mrs glover i knows it blamed welll asserted the man cos i was in quad at the same time she was theft for she and drank and disorderly for me and i wouldnt hare mowed on her but she refused me a drink of eider and wouldnt let me in to warm my feet i aint no talebearer but theres some things a flesh and blood wqnt bear he stalked oh muttering to himself while mr and mrs glover sad daniel stared at each other in horrified amass ment mother is it true i said daniel it cant be 1 said the oia lady ask herself said the miller grimly mary met them at tbe ooorj with a ra diant smile the dinner was all ready the humble array ol suver and ohlns sparawoosbetjirai thettsijdoioa tasmwaftaitli v- fcrt mlm i5tyotthmitw4r said alone tavtfow wa m uupok jtnalj at me so strangely 7 is anything the mat ter t there is much the matter i said the old miller sternly answer me girl father yon shall not be harsh to her said daniel glover come here mary lean on me nay do not tremble so what is there to ba afraid of 1 we all know that the brute spoke i103 1 is it a lie faltered mrs glover that you you wore in prison j it is no lie i said mary turning death ly white i served a sentence in ex- month prison but but i never was guiltyl circumstances were against me i- then sternly uttered the old man yon must leave this house i if she goes father said daniel glover firmly i go with her for i trust her i believe in nor i daniel are you crazy said bis mother at that moment doctor fitch rode up looking flushed and excited yet pleased withal he sprung off his horse and walk ed into the boae looking keenly about him good peoplo said he u what is all this about we have just heard wailed mrs glover that our mary is a convict pshaw said doctor fitch so it has got around to your ears has it well i have just heard that she isnt i have oome from the hospjtal ward a man was was brought in fatally wounded in a liquor saloon fray i exai lined his harts my man said i if 3 on have any affairs to settle they had be tier be settled at once for you have not six hoars to live said he if i am dying theres one or two things i would likft to say and then in solemn confession he said among other one of the burglars in thejamons chartens case that he hid the silver in mary tre foils trunk when at the last he found himself nnable to carry it all away she being seamstress in the chartens family and entirely ignorant of the whole thing tbat he was too closely tracaed to contrive toreturn and so she was convictsd through circumstantial evidence being to use the wretchs own words as innocent as a baby all the time he is a dying man now under the care of the chaplain but he has done his best to right yon mary tre foil in the eyes of tho world mary said the miller i was wrong just now when i spoke up so sudden will you forgive me mary dont look so pale soothed mrs glover here drink some of this cold water i mary dearest whispered daniel as he stole his arm around her waist 1 knew all along thai you were innocent 1 i knew you were too good and pure to be aught else 1 and the last wordsrevived her most of sill doctor fitch stayed to help them eat the thanksgiving dinner which mary had prepared so daintily the brown and oleaginoas turkey the cinnamonflavored applepies the baked potatoes and mince- tarte with the nuts and apples and spark ling cider afterwards and when he rojo to go he said laughing well and when is the wedding to be at christmas plcae god daniel uttered bravely while mary trefoil cried ont oh daniel i never said so but i say so and mother says so chimed in mr glover 8r and bo the matter is settled by a vote of the major ity and i shall claim the privilege of giv ing away the bride said doctor fitch merrily and so he went out into the snow and darkness whistling gaily as he vanished and mary looking earnestly up into her lovers eyes said softly ob daniel i think i never knew be fore the true meaning of the name thanks gmngt it does seem providential said old mrs glover tenderly stroking down the bright hair of her daughterinlaw elect that all this should have happened on thanksgiving day i as if all things were not providential
