"Well--" Martin sald "I'l ask him again." Judith looked sideways at Martin where he was on his hands and What you ask down the slowly, -| knees fitting the new boards Into the floor. She felt a sudden fullness of heart as she looked at him, and wished that somehow she might talk with him about things. She had always felt more kinship with Mar. tip than with any of the others, How stooped already his shouldefi were, how pitifully scrawny his neck! She watched him drive nails into the | boards after he had fitted them, and | saw how gentle his face was in the | doing of the mean task. Why had { she never seen these things fn Mar- | tin before? Tears came into her jou as they dwelt on him, and she | could have rushed to him and | thrown her arms about him from a | sudden sheer realization of what he was. Martin would have heen cer- | tain she had gone out. of her mind. { She rose hastily and left him, be- { fore she should do the unaccount- able thing. | Martin looked' after her. In hie | uncertain way, he felt that it was not so much Ellen that Judith was concerned about. 'Jude was not adept at dissimulation. His job in the barndone, Martin went to the pile of long, straight poplar logs he had cut, planed and measured for the new wagon shed. Martin was always building in his Spare time. Caleb often chided him for the material and time he wasted jon what he considered purely" dee- | orative and unnecessary outhouses, | but since building was the thing that lay nearest Martin's heart, he was not so readily deterred. Martin marked off with pes which he drove in the ground, the area which the wagon shed was to cover. Now and then his eye wand- ered to the rough, unpainted log house that had been hie home all his life, and fn his heart he conceiv- ed a dream. The dream grew to a desire that crept into his hands. Hie ds grasped the good, enduring lumber, the plaster, the fine laths, the shingles, the panes of glass, the stones for the foundation and the chimney of the New House, It would be painted brown, a rich, dark brown. gallons of paint and turpentine that you could smell all over the place. There would be & veranda facing the main road such as he had seen on the houses pie- tured in the mail order eataloque. And there would be a tall fron fence across the driveway, and the road would be cleared of the ruts made by the cattle. .and he would plant an acorn on either side of the road that in years to come would be & great spreading oak tree. , , . That evening Martin's face wore an almost rapt look as he sat plan- ing smooth a board that was to be a shelf for Amelia's preserves, . Caleb had come in after a tour of the fields. He hung his lantern on the wall, shaking it first co see whether it needed oil, separator. wr "How's: the wagon shed comin?" | he asked pleasantly, sitting down to! take off his heavy boots. He had! asked Martin the same question dur- [ ing supper, but it was the first sub- | ject that occurred to him which | would obliquely shut the women out | of the conversation. It was not = actly to show an interest in Martin's | work that he asked it. y "Pretty good," Martin told him | dgain. The thing that was on his | mind gathered courage for utterance when he heard Caleb speak opti- | mistically of the crops. Slowly shaving at the wood, he sald, "I was thinkin' we might build next spring if we have a good har- vest." Judith and Amelia half hear what he was saying. saw their look of interest. "Yeah, the barn does look as if it | was saggin' in the middle," he said softly, mé&ving into the other room. Martin and Judith and Amelia ex- changed Involuntary glances. | "Hm," said Judith. "Then we'll live in the barn, Martin." 9 Amelia said nothing, although she saw that Martin felt the "rebuff keenly. But Martin was a builder born, and the dream reared itself in his mind and would not down. He re- solved to approach Caleb when the women were not around. He would wait until he saw what the end of the summer brought. Even if the crops failed the cattle should bring something, and Caleb was keeping far too many horses in pasture now. He could well afford to build in the spring. turned to Caleb As it happened, the next day was a '"'church" day, and Caleb at the Yellow Post service was invited to dinner at Thorvaldson's. He drove back home with Thorvald, and told Amelia that he was going on west and would not be back until dark. In the afternoon Judith and the Teacher, with Amelia's deliberate sanction, took two of the horses and rode to the Sandbos'. Lind felt excitedly happy. A "Judie," she said. "Have you told your mother about Sven?" "No," she replied, "She would only worry. And he would find out, and then it would be all over," /'Why all over?" "He would kill me rathar than let me marry Sven, or anybody. He knows that would mean a change on the farm. He'd have to get a man ~he couldn't save go much money--it would start Blien and Martin and Charlie wanting to go away." "But, Judie--you can't all stay here forever?" + "Oh, yes, we can. Wa can stay here until Ellen goes blind apd I go crazy and the others die. That's the way people live up here. But I'm not goin' to stick. Wait until the haying is over." They rode along in the afternoon warm upon them. Lind glanced down at the drying pools that lined the Toad, and saw the countless "lucky bugs" darting about on the water like crazy sparks of light. The reeds stood up straight and brittle. It must rain soon. Lind could not bear the dry dust on the silence then, Finding that | reeds. Then she suddenly realized that it was not the reeds that she was thinking of, but the Gares. . | Quickly allays the cough: and son, Bill, were ia Perth day.

'He would have kissed her, but she drew back and looked at Lind. "We're goin' over to Klovacz's. Come along?" Jude asked him casually. He lifted his healthy, eager face to her and she thrilled through and through at the sight of him again. "You bet I will! I talked with Jordan one day om the road. He's not a bad sort, for a city guy." Sven commently generously. along. Comin' in to talk to ma?" Mrs. Sandbo and the girls came out to the road and Lind and Judith dismounted while Sven got his own horse out. Mrs. Sandbo, who had not talked with Judith Gare for some time, eyed her inquisitively. She con- gratulated herself upon getting a look at one of the Gares again at such close range. Jude did not yet have her new shoes, she noticed. Emma, who had seen her one day near the echoo! house, had report- ed that her toes were sticking out. It 'was almost true. And her dress! What a faded calico it wae for a Sunday! Mrs. Sandbo would have a choice bit of news for Dora, What a man Caleb Gare was! What a fa: ther! Ludvig had had his fault, but he had not been stingy--a spender, in fact. "Your mother, then-- how goes it vit' her?" Mrs. S8andbo asked Judith, 'She had wo bad toot'ache last I see her." Lind forebore from smiling. Mrs. Sandbo always seemed intent on learning the latest concerning Mrs, Gare's teeth. "'She's well, thank yous' Jude said stiffly. The ferreting gaze of Mrs. Sandbo and her plump young daughters in their pink Jawn dresses did not. please her. She wished Sven would hurry. He was with them at last, and they took leave of Mrs. Sandbo and Emma and Dena. Sven was fall of talk about the improvement he had made on the place since he came home. "Can't stand having nothing to do," he told them. "Farming is my idea of nothing to do, on a place like ours, anyway. Had a res} job in town--brick layin'. Good money. I'll just get ma to sell the place and 80 back; soon's the summer's over." * They rode gaily over the miles to the Klovacs's. (To Be Continued). ---- PHILIPSVILLE BUDGET.

Marty climbed out of the water, He couldn't eat fish in the water Anyway, any - more than Charley Otter could. Out he came and laid the fish carefully on his front paws, keeping lis weather eye on Charley -all the time. Marty was almost, but not quite, as smart as Charley. Suddenly Charley said, "On, wy goodness!" And he began to stare at something right behind Marty's back. "What is it?" cried Marty, turn- ing quickly in alarm. -- Old Glazed i Windows a Some real bargains in large glazed win- dows for those who can make use of them for hot bed sash or any other purpose.
