an unheard of event for deacon turner to leave home for a week his bieter caroline oat in miaeoori had writ ten him to come and cettle up some buii- ucbb for her and take her home with him for a visit caroline was a woman fbo would not accept exouaea eipeeuuy from her relatives consequently auoonnh tbo deacons word was law in hi own hoaw- hold this was another matter and he dared not refuse the denoons absence fiave lvira turner au opportunity to fioiah a number of pieces of work that she bad began a3 the had to care for and to cook only for her utile son willis- but sbo very foolishly planned to do twice a9 much as she could aocompllsb and thuraday afternoon found ber with a basket of onironed clothes befora her and worso than that a very tumult of un pleasant thoughts chabiug therasolvcs tlirough her weary brain mra turner was a good woman any onvbf her neiktibora would have told you vyea thtro utt a better woman iu this neighborhood than mrs turner i dont believe she ever did anything wrong iu her whole life but they had uever told mra turner so and a luiaerable gossipy tongue had brought a very different opinion of tho matter folks think theyve got a groat ioke ou yon mrs turner aaid tliia brewer of mitiobfef they are laaghing about howyou always knock under to the deacon they say its been ao long since youve had any layso in anything that you wouldnt know right from wrong if you should see it oh mrp hall do they say such thinga aljout mo that isnt half of it ohuokled mrs hall as she notod the look of sorprlie and paiu upon the fftoe of hor liitener some eaya probably your coneoience died oat years ago when it foudd it wasnt needed ha hat its jubt the funniest thing i ever heard i heard a woman say yeaterdny elis continued mercilubely that if tho deacon should die eho bet youd land in tho peni tentiary do you ihinlrhio as bad as that mri in half hall gaped mrs turner whisper j no no its only their big joko you know dont tako it ab hard tbt idea of a woman getting along without a con science its bo fanny you know tbo deacon ia ao good that yon only have to do what he bays and youre all right no strain on you it tickled me awfully and j jast had to oome and tell mrs turner did not laugh she was too bensitivo to enjoy auoh a serious joko after her visitors d opart ore alio went back to her work and tears of vexation and di oouragement gathered in ber ayes as abe rnbbed and polished the doacons oollan and onfla ail these years i have tried so bard to do right and to please everybody nd now every pari tele of credit goes tb the deacon it aint right thats nil abe oon tinned deflantly ironing wrinalea in the white table cloth and giving a few vigorous nodi towards an imaginary listener poor mr turner i she grew hot and tired those hateful words kept whirling around hor ears until at last she was half- convinced that they reretrue tbertfeapon had been gone almost a week and i dont see as ive committed a penitentiary aot yet abe said saroaatf cally ferhaya its because i havent had anything to try me well well she groaned presently i never was bo worried about anything if tboro was someone to prove that i have a conscience maybe i could rest easy mo toy me i who is that she exclaimed as a trim little figure id blapk and white ginrham dreaa and a white aunbonosl camo in at the front gate ob ivs that meek littlo pearce she wants to oeg aome olotbea for tboie brink ohlldren bnt aha need not think im going to hunt them up now as tired as i am sbo hastily wiped the perspiration from ber face and went into the front room it waa mra pea roe but she did not want old olotbea she soon explained 16 irritated mrs turner that- neverfading smile tin tll moat cringing manner produced abort of discord that rather grated ou her nervea sbo wondered if mrh pearco wua one of the women who had said thoso horrid things she could feel her heart hardening asinet the littlo woman as sbo talked soit really was not strange thathor answer was so unfriendly and entirely at variance with her nature you mubt re member that mrsrturher was vory warm and tired and had spent a very trying afternoon she turned her face red and defiant toward her visitor f mra pearce i have baked cakes for aoolals all mylifa until people thick i am always obliged to now i tell yon this is ono thing i am going to refuse 1 in ber astonishment mrs pearoo forgot to smile mrs turner continued the deacon is coming homo saturday with his stater caroline then my daughter minnie ia coming too with her three children and i have to bake forthem tomorrow 1 wont have time to bake cakes for church socials by thia time mrs pearco was sb smiling as ever ob mia turner its all right of oourse the ladies wouldnt expeot you to do it i hadnt heard about your conopany and z wont hinder you another minute she troaa to go she cast a curious side glance toward mrb turner as she started to the door yon dtdut walk mrs poarce remark ed mrs turner in aquestioning tone oh no i rode but with one of the neighbors well ita too bad you have to walk back in tho hot buu mrs turnera feelinga were beginning to struggle to tho surface ob thats nothing i 1 can walk two miles any day x was so afraid yon would not hear about the bocial be sure and come goodbye well eoliloqulaed mrs turner as she weut baok to her olotbea drying in tho basket and her irons cooling on the stove if ihe deacon had beeu here he would have met her at the gate aud when he had learned her errand he would have said bake a cake of course two of ecu if you want whos got more butter and eggs and milk than we have how about a freezer of joe cream and be would have promis ed that too but as ho jb not here why should i not settle tho question as i please but mrs tufnor found it very difficult to drive the subject from ber mind she wondered if a woman without a coneoience would be able to troat little iunooeut mrs vie roe aq be had done possibly thobo neighbors were right and she bad met right and wrong without knowing one from the other perhaps thia was the teat and she bad failed to pass by sapper timo she had worried hereolf almowt bick shocould neither eat nor drink and whon bed timo oaroe she found bhe could not sleep this was now a now sensation to a healthy woman like mrs turner sbo tried to locate tho pain so as to decide what remedy would bo most eflicacioup but alio found that waa impossible little mrs poarcov mjflrtorner that the lad o their oha ao do ream had decided to hftvo an ice cream social tbo proceeds to be used to buy shades xor the church windows i think awnings are prettier than abades ventured mrs pearoe timidly but of course i wouldnt say a word about it ill do all i oan to help bat i aint fit to fay what they nball do with the money well eald mrs turner shortly i think ha too hot for ftn loo oream booli oh mia turner thats the very time to have one yea it may be a goorl time to eat ice cream bnt its just too hard to make it oh mia turner tbey didnt want you to make ice cream unlets you was real anxloua to do ft but they said aak yon pleaae to bake a cake and if you possibly con id please bake two little meek- faced mrs pearoe always face kept floating before her oyeti changing occasionally to the wrinkled simpering one of old mra hall if they talked so awfully before what will they eay now 1 oh dear oh dear i the first itreak of light in tho east was a welcome bight to mrs turner she arose and began her days work she was very miserable and it b pbbeible that if mrs pearoe could have ropeated her request of the day before mra turner might havo given her a different answer but we shall never know it waa evident from sundry borapa of audible conversation that she was nsicg every argument to justify herself in her own estimation she spent the day in busy preparation the dacod would expect his favorite brown brtad and boiled ham there must be pies for caroline a nice chocolate oako for minnie end a pan of sugar cookies for the children beaidcb a snowy angels food as a reserve willie said bis mother i guess well go up to tho social a littlo while i would like to go onco and not have to work 1 wont take my apron and they wont ex peot me to wait on the table willie looked up in surprise he had never heard his mother talk bo strangely after the chorea were dono they drovo to town mrs turner imagined some of the ladies gave hor a oool good evening but she expeoted cool treatment she took her seat at a table qnito near the tent from whioh the cream and oake were served while she bat waiting she could not rofralo from listening to the voioea ot the ladies inside tho tent how does the cream hold out first rate better than the oake are these a i the cakes we havo why yes you bob we didnt got as many cakes sb wo expected quite a number of ladies who wera counted as certain would not bake any- youknow if one refusal that influences othors here i coipe ohirruped a cheery voice which mrs tomer recognised aa belonging to the ministers wife mrs deem a i present yon quantity instead of quality oh mrs deema cried the ladies iu concert not three cakes i yea three cake mra pearco came in after dinner and told the how scarce the oake was ao we got the material together and baked the two largo ouca sbo helped take oare of twins and ihe baby just as we finished the cakes old aunt betty brought in this small

arrived with bis second gallon of cream bnt there was dot a piece of cake to servo with i mrs turner tore tho wrappiofis from her cakes and tied on hor white apron npw ladies she remarked briakly i am ready to help yon i will have to ask you all to forgive me she added hesitat ingly yon see i- made a misstep and couldnt fiud tbe path uptil a little while go ictbat miserable mrs hall told you what she pretended she did lid one of the ladtec i wonder you can bear tbe sight of as someone said you were so good youotually didnt neod a conscience and the meddlesome creature turned it upside down and manufactured the rest of the story tlio ladles did not understand how much it meant to ber but they went to work and served up those delioiouo oaken with the cream bo promptiyand generously that the
