After several knockings R;ss looked at Edith with a slight smile. “It seems to be a. repetition of my iormer visit.” he said. “Perhaps this is no: the day they receive.” "Let us go away, Ross,” she returned ‘with a slight shiver, “this gloomy old place makes me feel uncanny.” So after a parting knock they retraced their way down the long path and spent the afternoon in walking about the village and calling on several of their new friends. ,A_L L.- ‘kn mill work place makes me ice. u..-....__,_ So after a. parting knock they retraced their way down the long path and spent the afternoon in walking about the village and calling on several of their new friends. As the months went by the mill work gradually improved and the help settled down to a steady, easy-going routine. The machinery, with the rust of long years of idleness wearing away by con- stant friction, began to run easily and y. But at last a. pay-dar approached when there was no money to meet it. No re- turns had been made for the goods sent away, and when Ross went to the city to investigate the matter he found the house had failed and was in the hands of an assignee. Only after the business had been settled could anything be expected. There was but one course left, and he returned and boxed up the piano and. re- turned with it to the city. A few days later Edith noticed that his costly gold - chronometer had been replaced by a silver watch. But the help were paid of promptly. A feeling of uneasiness, how- ever, was becoming manifest among them. The disappearance of the horses and car- riages had been noted and commented upon. It struck them as curious. Then the sending away of the piano, and Rosa’s simultaneous journey to the city. It was certainly odd, and when pay-day came they were very slow in starting up their - machines and stood about in expectant l groups until Ross passed around the en- velopes containlne their wages.

Then, as though resolved on a despente venture, it dashed madly downwsrd snd hurried recklessly between the confining banks that were to guide its court-e through the town. But an after-thought seemed to change its mind, and. instead of showing a bold front, it made a long detour through the outskirts of the village. . u ,,r:...... .nnnnvd it!

A‘ last she appeared to grow weary of throwing stones and looked around for other amusement. The curious pensile nest attracted her attention, and she raised her tiny finger in a vain effort to grasp it. Realizing its futility, she looked about in a slow, meditative way, for a solution of the difficulty. The hand-railing seem- ed to offer it, and with an immunity from accident that seemed to belong to childhood, she clambe: ed up and rose steadily to her feet.
