different from this ho had wooed with soft words and lot ing looks and she had answered then with low sweet words the question he asked today l yes eben i love you and god willing will be your wife wero the words spoken y ears ago today sho only noticed tho same question by asking mother what is the salary eben i did think strange jou couldnt uudcr- standenglish abby i always was will ing to allow you was the best bcholar eben remarked at length dimly recollect ing the twihghtbour when she placed her hand in his with sweet trustfulness and conscious that she listened now with busy hands and eyes wliich looked straight for ward searching the secret places of his heart who shall sohc tho mystery of the sphinx who understand the change timo effects in a womans heart i do not understand r you at all ho baid in reply to her last iemark i wish you would explain yourself abby well eben you have la large farm and a large family you expect your wife to do a senants work what do jou propose to pay her as a weekly monthly or quarterly salary so thats it is it i must say that j considerin were old lovers youre uncom mon cool frosty you think may be you are right we are older than we were at the time you refer to with so much senti- ment mr janeway seemed disturbed miss austin waited for him to speak her eyes meeting his calmly her fingers industri ously at work with ivory hook and scarlet wool how white her hands were yet ho had known of many hours of bard labor those same hands had performed when it was a labor of love what did the woitan mean he addressed her in an aggrieved tone you might pay me the compliment of listening to me at least youre uncom mon busy no i think not i am usually em ployed tvith something or other but tho salary you asked about abby who ever heard of such a thing 1 you never thought of it when we were younger no eben neither did emily out and in among the threads of bright wool the ivory hook pursued its way guided by miss austins uimblo fingers the natne ot the wife who had been bis slave called a flush o the sunburned face of the farmer no she didnt j she never wanted for anything to cat or wear you know that abby eben j janeway trying to understand the strange look on his listeners face added to be sure she stayed at home mostly and it stands to reason didnt need the fixings youve had to have going about so much yes eben i am as yon say fond of going about i enjoy going to church visiting my neighbors attending the dor cas society and lectures and concerts break the mouitouy of a long winter in the coun try mijts austin replied while her visitor fidgetted in hib chair he had not forgot ten that jhis wife had been fond of these innocent amusements and had only given up going to church the but year ol her we j other things had been given up one by one as the children came each claiming its individual right to care and attention so with washing ironing sweepingfbak- ing and the jnaking of butter and cjtfeese emily jjanjeway was busy from the time ier bed at an early hoar until she to it exhausted physically and lectures concerts even the 8oeity of which she bad been there was ono woman who could doftly unravel tho tangled threads of his domestio affairsrabby austin blio had always come to emilys relief aud assistance when things got ahead of her and generally they straightened out under hoi- direction yes ho had decided lib would oiler her tho place of honor from which emily had been removod in his best suit with his hair out and face clean shaven ho presented himself a mail wellto do as he would have ex- pressed it and in the prime of life before this woman of middleago with small means for her future support not for the sake of an old romance but because she was the one practical woman of his ac quaintance whom he supposed capable of evolving order out of chaotic elements in the place he called home i thought maybe youd like to come youve been there so much late years when onoe things get straightened out it wont be so bad the children always did mind yon abbey you have not toldme tho salary eben to be sure i only asked out of curiosity just to see if yon had found out how much emily saved while she did all the house work and took care of tho idairy her board and lodging did not cost much yon must have saved money eben well yes considerable but as it i looks to me now everything is going to ruin pretty fast the old place dont look as it did when motherwas alive i emily wonld hardly know it as the well kept house she lived in i am sorry 1 for you eben i yeb my wife was a good housekeeper but mother sho seemed to get on without complainirjg so much did if ever occur lo jou that jour i mother had but one child to care for jeben i well jes i dnow my six are
