The midday rest brought an ecstasy of relief. It was the harvest season. There was work in plenty, and in time Wain- wright quitted his hand to mouth vag- abondage for the sobering occupation of harther on the Rolfe farm, where he was to receive a dollar a day and But Wainwright was young and vig- orous and had a keen relish for adven- ture. He liked the freedom of the high- way, the quest of picking up odd jobs at the scattered farmhouses along tbs route, the deep sleep of the travel wea- ry in dim, sweet scented haylofts or, oftener still, in the open, with the stars shimmering through the branches of the trees. shoes were out at heel, his hat almost rimless and his face tanned to a deep bronze.

Tonight there’s “I must have overworked.†he said listlessly to himself as he sat on the Lefï¬ngwells’ veranda a week later. It was sundown. A breeze swept up from the Hudson, and a tall glass of lemonade tinkled pleasantly in Waln« wright’s hand. Mrs. Rolfe had some of her famous biscuits for supper, but Wainwright had lost his appetite. He stood on the back porch in the afterglow, and ev- erything seemed strangely deserted. Mary had gone. and something of the joy of living had gone with her. Ex- istence seemed suddenly very tame and dull to the young professor. He was conscious of emotions not classi- ï¬ed in his notebook. “Not a wordâ€. said Farmer Rolfe cheerfully. In the days that followed he found that if he helped Mary with the sup- per dishes the longer they would have to sit on the porch in the cool of the evening. So while she splashed the snds he polished plates and cups and quoted his favorite authors. After- ward they would stroll together down the orchard path. watching the ï¬rst stars and listening to the eerie notes of the whippoorwill, a pleasant state of aï¬airs destined to end abruptly, for Wainwright returned from the ï¬elds one evening to ï¬nd Mrs. Rolfe alone in the kitchen. Mary was gone. “But wasn’t there any message?†persisted Wainwright. “Had a' letter from one of her folks,†said the farmer. “and she went right off. Wouldn’t take a cent of her pay ’cause she left so sudden.†Wainwright looked blank. “Didn’t she leave any address?†be queried. “Said she’d write.†answered Rolfe laconic-ally. “What a wonderful country it is,†mused Wainwright. “Where even the rustics have ideas of their own and a vivid way of expressing them.†Mary’s personality was the most challenging and illuminating one that he had dis- covered so far, and descriptions of her covered several pages of his notebook. “Any work that is done well is beau- tiful,†she declared earnestly, and, though her allusions to herself were delicately reticent. Wainwright found it easy to picture her primitive life. primitive and yet not humdrum. Her love of nature and beauty forbade that. 66" “Please don‘t stop!" she cried as Wainwright smothered the last chord of a college glee. “I’m very fond of music!†"What else are you fond of. I won- der?†thought Wainwright. and he deftly led her on to speak of herself. She was fond of reading, she confess- ed, and knew many of the poets by heart. IIer taste in literature was as simple as it was ï¬ne. and the more she spoke the more Wainwright wondered, for she seemed utterly content with her present occupation. But one Sunday night when Wain- wright sat alone on the back porch strumming at a guitar a White dress glimmered in the doorway, and pres- ently Mary came out and sat down. say,†he added, “that if ever I’d had a daughter I’d ha’ liked one like Mary Carter.

The pirtition wall betw ex Mr. Collins’ and Mr. Her- bert’s was blown into the latter’s side and their sideboard thrown down and the contents smashed.

The Public Library, which was situated in Mr. Collins’ side of the building, was wrecked and the books scattered in all direc- tions.
