When the woman rode iw|| a bait hour later, carrying another of those letters from New York which the trader had come to bate ever since Bdwood's suggestion concerning the writer, his eyes had a very strange ex presslon. It was a mixture of several expressions, rather--astonishment, of personal gratification, and a vague. Ilk' congruous regret.

Mrs. Allison, an epitome of universal motherhood, looked over the scant, well-mended belongings Of the family and laid out such articles as she judged could be spared. These she began expertly to make ever into little garments, "When did Brand boy you these pants, Sonny?" she inquired, but the cblld shook his head. 1 don't know," he answered, i "H'm. Must be pretty poor," she opined, bat Bad scowled in disapproval. "Pretty darn stingy, rd say," be remarked. "Hold Judgment, Bod," counseled Nance, "when a man travels for two years he don't have much time to make money. We're poor, too, but that don't spell anything." Bud held his tongue, bat it was plain he was not convinced. "What makes him so contrary, 1 wonder?" said the girl later. "He's Jealous," said lira. Allison calmly, "because you champion th' stranger. It's natural." The field of corn was beaatlfaL Its blades were broad and satiny, covering the brown earth from view, and the waving green floor came well ap along the horses' legs as Nance rode down the rows on the sbackly cultivator. For three days she had been at It a labor of love. She had many dreams as she watched the light wimp ling on the silky banners, vague, pleasant dreams that had to do with ber canceled debt at the store, with the trip to Bement about the carpet, and with the new blue dress she hoped to get .with the surplus. < Bud must have some new thing*, too, and her Mammy needed shoes the worst way. All these things the growing field promised her, whispering under the little wind, and she was happy, deep in her Innocent heart. She wondered if she dared ask Brand to let her take Sonny on that trip to Bement, then instantly decided "Can only get In It about once mora," she said. "It's growing so fast" "Pretty," Bad said, "pretty aa yon, almost. Do yoa know you're awfully pretty, 8lsT" "Hash!" ghe laughed. "You'll make me vain. Pretty la aa pretty does, yoa know." "Well, the Lord knows yoa do enough," returned the boy bitterly, "If I was oniy half a man--" "Bad!" cried Nance quickly, "you're the most sure-enough he-man I know. You've got the patience and the courage of ten common men. If It hadn't been for your steady backing I'd never be on Nameless now. I'd have quit long back." "Like the dickens 700 would I" Mid Bud. bat a grin replaced the shadow of bitterness on his face. Supper that night was particularly pleasant There were new potatoes and green peas from the garden down by the river, and a plate of the never-failing cookies, of wjiich Bonny could not get enough. 'He's hollow to his toes," said Mrs. Allison, "I can't never seem to get him full." "The little shaver's starved," Mid Bud. "Not starved, but he ain't bad regular food--not right to grow on. I can see a difference already." Nance reached over an investigating band to feel the small shoulder. It bore proudly a brand new shirt made from one of Bud's old ones. To be sure, there was a striking dlsstmlltude of colors, since part of the fabric had been under a pocket and had not faded, but Sonny wore It with the air of kings and princes. "Yes, sir," she said Judicially," be Is gaining, sure as the world!" It seemed to Nance that night that all was well with the world, very well. There seemed a wider margin of hope than usual, as if success, so long denied them, was hovering like a gigantic bird above the homestead, as if their long labor was about to have its reward. She fell asleep thinking of the whispering field, of the trip to Bement and --of Brand Fair's quiet dark eyes, the look of the chin-strap on his brown cheek. She laid a loving hand on Sonny's little head on the pillow of the Improvised crib beyond her own big bed-- and the world went swiftly from ber consciousness. She slept quickly and deeply, as do all those who work bard in the sun and wind--the blessed boon of labor. e e e. « • • • It seemed to ber that She bad hardly lost consciousness when Old John announced from his rafter perch the coming of another day and she saw the faint light of dawn on the sky outside She dressed as usual, looked lovingly at the small face of the little sleeper In the crib, and went out, soft-footed, to start the kitchen fire. That done, she took the pail and went out to the well. She rested the bucket on the curb a moment lifted the well-board, and stood looking at the feint aureole of light that was beginning to crown Rainbow cliff. The cliff Itself was black, blue-black as deepest indigo, its foot lost In the shadows that deepened down Mystery ridge. She could hear the murmuring of Nameless, soft and mysterious in the dawn, feel the little wind that was beginning to stir to greet the coming day. Then, as was her habit she turned her eyes oat across the waving green field of ber precious corn. It must be earlier than she thought she reflected, for there was not the shimmer of light which usually met her gaze. She looked again at the eastern sky. Why, yes--It was light as asual there. Once more she looked st the field-- then she leaned forward, peering hard, ber bands still lying on the bucket's rim. Her brows drew down together as she strained ber sharp sight to focus on what she saw--or what she thought she saw. For a long time she stood so. Then, as realization struck home to ber consciousness, the hands on the bucket gripped down until the knuckl6s shone white under the tanned skin. Her lips fell open loosely. The breath stopped for a moment in ber lungs and she felt as if she were drowning. An odd dizziness attacked her brain, so that the dim world of shadow and light wavered grotesquely. Her knees seemed buckling beneath her and for the first time in her life she felt as If she might faint . . . Her Mammy bad fainted once--when they brought John Allison home, . . . But she gathered herself with a supreme effort, closed her Hps, wet them with ber tongue, straightened ber shoulders and, taking her hands from their grip on the pall, walked oat toward the field. At the gate she stopped and gazed dully at the ruin before her. Where yesterday had been a vigorous, lusty, dark green growth, fair to her sight as the edges of Paradise, there was now the bald, piteous unssother was at the stove, lifting a lid. At sight of her daughter's face she held it In mid-air. "Hold hard, girl,** sbe sald qaletiy. "what's up?" Nance leaned against the door-Jamb.

But the boy's blue eyes were biasing and he did not even hear her. He Jerked his sagging shoulder up, for a moment In line with Its mate and shut his hands into straining fists. "Gimme a gun--" be rasped, "Pappy's gun--" "No guns, Bud--Pve seen fend--In Missouri.

"Right" she said, "so would L We belong to Nameless river--where our pappy left us--and here we'll stay. Only--I pray God to keep me from-- from--" she wet her lips again, "from what Is stirring Inside me." "He will." said Bud. "But I'm not so particular. We own this land--and we'll fight for our own." "Amen," said Nance, "we will. We've still got tbe hogs to sell. Mammylet's have breakfast I'm going down to Cordova--It's right McKane should know." ^ CHAPTER XII "Oct--Out--of--That--D00H* That was a bitter ride to Nance, Tbe day was sweet with the scents and sounds of summer. Birds called from the thickets, high up the pine tops, stirred by a little wind, sang their everlasting diapason, while sbj could hear far ba<5k the voice of Nameless, growing fainter as she left it. At another time she woald have missed nothing of all this, wobld have gloried In it drunk with the wine of nature. Now a shadow hung over all the fair expanse of slope" and mountain range, an oppression heavy, almost, as the hand of death sat on her heart. She rode slowly, letting Buckskin take his own time and way, her hands folded listlessly on her pommel, her faded brown riding skirt swinging at her ankles. She had* discarded her disfiguring bonnet for a wide felt hat of Bud's and her bright hair shone under It like dull gold. 8be was scarcely thinking. She had given way to feeling--to feeling the acid of defeat eating at ber vitals, the hand of thinlfri. force pressing A**m k had to face McKaQM and tell b||ft' j|be could not pay ber debt That aeiteed the worst of all.

Cordova- lay sleeping undo a late noonday son when she rode Into tbe end of the struggling street A few horses were tied to tbe bitch rack In front' of the store and a half-dosea men lounged on the porch. Nance went hot and cold at sight of them. She bad hoped all the way down that lfciglCane would be alone, for no conversation inside the store could fell to be aadlble on the porch. It would be hard tpough to talk to him without an interested audience. She felt terribly alien, as if these people were allied against her, and yet she coald not discern among the loungers anyone from Sky Line. As site drew near she did see with a grateful thrill that Sheriff Price Selwood sat tilted hack against the door- Jamb, his feet on the rung of his chair. At sight of him a bit of the distress left her, a faint confidence took its place. Sbe remembered his kindly eyes that could harden and narrow so quickly, his way of understanding things and people. She dismounted and tied Bnckskln under a tree and went forward. As she mounted the steps tbe sheriff looked up, rose and raised his hat Nance smiled at him more gratefully than she knew. Then she stepped Inside the door-- and came face to face witb Kate Cathrew who was Just coming out * McKane was behind ber carrying a small sack which Ik Id her mail and some few purchases. The two 'women stopped Instantly, their eyes upon each other. It was the first time they bad mt thus pointedly. At sight of this woman whose unproved, hidden workings had meant so much to her, Nance Allison's face went slowly white. Sbe stood atlli In the door, straight and quiet.' and looked at bar in silence. At the prolonged Intensity of bar scrutiny Cattle Kate Hong up ber head and smiled, a conscious* insolent action. "If you don't want all the doer, young woman," she said, "please." Sbe made a move to pass, but Nance suddenly put oat a hand. There was an abrupt dignity la tbe motion, a sort of last-stand authority. "I do," said tbe girl, "want It alL I have something to tell McKane, and yoa may as well bear it" The imperious face of Kate Cathrew flushed darkly with the rising tide of ber temper. "Get--out--of--that--door," she said distinctly, bat for once aha was not obeyed. . * •o Nanee ftUrne at last! When two such women as Nance and Kate meet, almeet anything can happen. She should not.

At their end she drove tbe cultivator to tbe stable and stood ber tired shoulder muscles Bad unharnessed tbe team, looked back at the field with eyes. <TO an cowTimwp.t • Basilica* Tbe name "Basilica" was given In ancient Rome to buildings used aa meeting places for business men, and as courts of Justice. A basilica consisted of a long central hail or nave, with aisles, the aisles being separated from the nave by pillars supporting tbe roof. At the end of the nave, opposite the entrance, was a raised platform, 4>r dais, with seats for the Judges. To give additional space there was sometimes added at thta farther end, a semicircular structure called an apse. After the introduction of Christlanty, basilicas were very generally converted into churches, and thus It is that the form of the modern cathedral vis derived from the ancient Roman basilica.--Kansas City Star., ^ Old Banking Institution* The oldest bank fta the world is the Bank o England, established in 16M.

Lo«g before then, wrltM a fashion correspondent in the New York Berntd-lMNine, May Sutton went boldly -Into WlnoMadsn and brought a championship back With her, long before women wars regarded as anything but a deoemtiv*, background on links and courts, hunting and flffe- Ing, riding, canoeing, swtabml^g and camping were regarded aa tha axdasive hallmarks of the sportswoman. In later years tbe term has tafcsn on a new connotation to the end that what Is now known as tbe sports dress--Intended for golf, tennis and the fair looker-on--bears llt*Ie relation to tbe exhilarative life of the wide open spaces and would never be appropriate for the whilom Journeys back to nature. Which, perhaps, Is Just ss well. The nature-loving girl who spends patient hours fighting the speckled troat who sturdily i»ddies her own canoe through the quiet lakes of tbe great mountains, who pitches ber tent wherever nightfall finds her, has ever been truculent under the restraining dicta of the mode. For many years sbe rejected the frilly decrees of Paris in favor of the conMrvatlve and eminently practical costumes of London. Nor could you blame her, for In its earliest versions the Paris rough sports frock completely missed the atmosphere. The thought that even the French couture would dare dictate what she should wear when she hunted or fished or paddled was sufficient in Itself to seasonally alienate her from those estimable artists. Light however, has come to the maisons of the grande couture. Basing their designs upon the solid foundations of the practical English costume, they have added thereto the chic that Is Paris, to the end that the French rough sports costume for the wide open spaces is now sufficiently practical for the most hide-bound Briton, and it incorporates in addition an essentially Parisian smartness. The creators themselves have wisely refrained from adding seasonal improvements solely in the name of style, and what changes do occur from time to time are made, apparently at least, in the name of practicality. Dispense With the Skirt. Many fishing costumes entire)^ £& pense with the skirt and consist merely of a knee-length coat and trousers, the former buttoning high at the neck. Corduroy and covert suits frequently feature sleeveless jackets, in which event a cotton crepe shirtwaist is worn underneath. The cotton crepe shirtwaist, incidentally. Is an Invaluable adjunct to every rough sports excursion, Inasmuch aa it does not wrinkle readily, and. In addition requlrea no Ironing after it is laundered. The effect of tbe camping suit Is hardy and It must obviously be carrled oat lu every detail. High-heeled shoes, silk stockings or vivid waists would hardly harmonize with tbe roughlng-lt atmosphere of the tentlngont costume, and must, of course, be carefully avoided. Yet the tendency toward rough clothes can also be easily overdone, and Is by many women who spare no. efforts in an endeavor to be natural, and achieve an unattractive plainness. The ideal out-' fit is neither Incongruously ornate nor severely plain, but It strikes a happy compromise between the two.

He said that his son, a high-school graduate, came home one day and asked him If he were a good mathematician. "Yes, my boy, 1 think I*«s Dntty good." the father rapMed. "Well, then, 1 have a problem I'd like to have you solve. There were three frogs sitting on a log--a bullfrog, a tree frog and a toad frog. The bullfrog decked to Jump off. How many were there left?" The father smiled. "Why, that's aa easy one. Two frogs were left" "And that's where you are all wrong!" exclaimed the boy, grinning. "Three frogs were left because tbe bullfrog only decided to Jump off. Be didn't Jump." Then the lawyer Impressed upon bis audience that a person who would win success must act promptly on bis decision*. The riding habit Offers more diversification and cAmes nearer the heart of the mode than any other costume of the great outdoors. It has got to be smart, principally because it Is frequently worn in urban places, and yet It must studiously avoid overelaboratlon. Long years ago the dashing figure of the early 1900's was portrayed In her most romantic moments dressed in a riding costume, and while the habit of years has changed the riding ladies have lost none of their ancient appeal. The first choice of the modern homewoman Is whether she shall emulate the majestic Victorian or whether she shall canter forth In the masculine apparel that has acquired the stamp of modernism. The solution depends entirely upon the individual because both styles are equally In the good' graces of the mode. Our personal preference Is for the graceful Victorian costume, but fhe ultimata choice should depend upon type. The typical riding habit be It of the genre masculine or feminine, is characteristically cut along Slightly fitted lines. Tse varying of sleeves to limited to the breeches suit--some of these have sleeves and others look equally attractive without The suit may be developed entirely in a single material or it may utilize two. Among tbe dual combinations are flannel and linen and gabardine an^ pangee--gabardine and linen and flan&el and pongee are equally acceptable. Melton, whipcord, English woolens and waterrepellent tweeda are among other riding costume fabrics. However, the key to the smart riding habit of 1925 will be found neither In fabric nor type, and not tn the silhouette. InstMd it will be noted In the opposing themes struck by costume and detail. Lay It at tbe door of a timorous couture, fearful of bizarre extremes, or the nicely balanced taste of the horsewoman herself, the fact remains that the mannish suit must have its feminizing accessories wbHe the gentler habit requires th# touch of masculine detalL The small boy eating a blueberry pie is never as blae as be looks.
