Such minor *“chores™ as carrying water from the well, splitting kindling, chopping pine or bringing wood into the Kitchen were left to Waitstill, who had a strong back or if she had not had never been unwise enough to mention the fact in her fa- ther’'s presence. The almanac day. however, which opened with sunrise. had nothing to do with the real human day. which always began when Mr. Baxter slammed the door behind him and reached its high noon of delight when he disappeared from view. “He’s opening the store shutters!” chanted Patience from the heights of a kitchen chair by the window. ‘Now he’s taken his cane and beaten off the Boynton puppy that was sitting on the steps as usual. 1 don't mean Ivory’s dog” (here the girl gave a quick glance at her sister), ‘but Rodman's little yel- low cur. Rodman must have come down to the bridge on some errand for Ivory. Isn't it odd when that dog has all the other store steps to sit upon he should choose father's when every bone in his body must tell him how father hates him and the whole Boyn- ton family?" “Father has no real cause that I ever | heard of. But some dogs never know when they've had enough beating nor some people either,” said Waitstill, speaking from the pantry. “Don’t be gloomy when it’s my birth- day, sis. Now he’s opened the door and kicked the cat. All is ready for busi- ness at the Baxter store.” “] wish you weren't quite so free with your tongue, Patty.” “Somebody must talk,” retorted the girl. jumping down from the chair and shaking back her mop of red gold curls. “I'll put this hateful. childish, round comb in and out just once more, then it will disappear forever. This very afternoon up goes my hair!” “You know it will be of no use unless you braid it very plainly and neatly. Father will take notice and make you smooth it down.” “Father hasn’t looked me square in the face for years, besides my hair won't braid and nothing can make it quite plain and neat, thank goodness! Let us be thankful for small mercies, as Jed Morrili said when the lightning struck his mother-in-law and skipped his wife.” “Patty, I will not permit you to re- peat those tavern stories, they are not seemly on the lips of a girl!” And ‘Waitstill came out of the pantry with a shadow of disapproval in her eyes and in her voice. Patty flung her arms around her sis- ter tempestuously and pulled out the waves of her hair so that it softened her face. “I'll be good.” she said. “and oh, Waity, let's invent some sort of “He's opening the store shutters.” cheap happiness for today! I shall never be sevenieen again and we have s0 many troubles. Let's put one of the cows in the horse's stall and see what will happen! Or let's spread up our beds with the head at the foot and put the chest of drawers on the other side of the room, or let’s make candy! Do you think father would miss the molasses if we only use a cupful? Couldn’t we strain the milk, but leave the churning and the dishes for an hour or two, just once? If you say ‘yes’ I can think of something wonder- ful to do!” “What is it?" asked Waitstill, relent- ing at the sight of the girl's eager, roguish face. “Pierce my ears!” cried Patty. “Say you will!” “Oh! Patty. Patty, I am afraid you are given over to vanity! 1 daren't let you wear eardrops without father's permission.” “Why not? Lots of church members wear them, so it can’t be a mortal sin. Father is against all adornments, but that’s because he doesn’t want to buy them. You've always said I should have your mother’s coral pendants when I was old enough. Here 1 am, seventeen today, and Dr, Perry says I am already a well favored young wo- man.

I'll pierce your ears if you say so and let | you wear your own coral drops!” “No, Patty! I've outgrown those long- ings years ago. When your mother died and left father and you and the house to me my girlhood died, too.: though 1 was only fourteen.” i “It was only your inside girlhood | that died.” insisted Patty stoutly. “The outside is as fresh as the paint on Uncle Barty’s new ell. You've got ! the loveliest eyes and hair in River | boro, and you know it; besides, Ivory i Boynton would tell you so if you didn't. Come and bore my ears, there's a dar- ling!” } “Ivory Boynton never speaks a word | of my looks, nor a word that father ! and all the world mightn't hear.” And! Waitstill flushed. “Then it's because he's shy and silent | and has so many troubles of his own | that he doesn’t dare say anything. | When my hair is once up and the coral | pendants are swinging in my ears I shall expect to hear something about my looks, I can tell you.

Here Patty swept the hearth vigorously with a turkey wing and added a few corn- cobs to the fire. Waitstill paused a moment in her task of bread kneading. “Well,” she answered critically, “at least we know where our father is.” “We do indeed> We also know that he is thoroughly alive.” “And, though people do talk about him, they can’t say the things they say of Master Aaron Boynton. I don't be- lieve father would ever run away and desert us.” “I fear not.” said Patty. *I wish the angels would put the idea into his | BUN SRR SOM TEES Bellefonte July 7 to 13 Adriatic Band Dunbar Singing Band Romano Orchestra Tuskegee Institute Singers The Toy Symphony The Four Artists .

To be buried alive in the cemetery of Hochwald, in the canton of Soleure, was the fate of an elderly Swiss lady. After the burial ceremony the grave diggers were about to fill in the grave when they heard knocking in the cof- fin. Instead of rendering immediate help they fled in terror to inform the doctor and the priest. When the doe- tor arrived at the grave the coffin was opened and it was found that the woman, who had turned over, had died.
