Bellefonte, Pa., September 2, 1921. OO ——————————————————————————————————————— THE EASY CURE. You had a little hurt today, I know it by your face, . A hurt you hoped to hide away, And yet it left a trace. You tried to wear the usual smile, Yet futilely you tried— That little trouble all the while Was hurting you inside. My, my, I wish that money, too, Would earn the interest That ordinary troubles do We carry in our breast! Inside ourselves deposited They grow, and grow and grow, But not in gold—a load of lead Is all we ever know. Now, I've a simple little plan I’ve used with little ills, I'm glad to tell to any man Who's blue around the gills: Just ask yourself: “This little ache, This trouble, anyhow, Just how much difference will it make A year or so from now ?”’ What was it that you used to want? What was it made you sore?— Your woes a year ago you can't Remember any more! The thought of troubles you forgot Will cut the new in half; And then, I bet, as like as not You will not smile—but laugh! —Douglas Malloch. GREEN GARDENS. Daphne was singing to herself when she came through the painted gate in the back wall. She was singing part- ly because it was June, and Devon, and she was seventeen, and partly be- cause she had caught a breath taking glimpse of herself in the long mirror as she had flashed through the hall at home, and it seemed almost too good to be true that the radiant small per- son in the green muslin frock with the wreath of golden hair bound about her head, and the sea-blue eyes laughing back at her, was really Miss Daphne Chiltern. Incredible, incredible luck to look like that, half Dryad, half Kate Greenaway—she danced down the turf path to the herb-garden, swinging her great wicker basket like a small mad thing. “He promised to buy me a bonsie blue ribbon,” carrolled Daphne, all her own ribbons flying. “He promised to buy me a ribbon, He promised to buy me a bonnie blue rib- bon To tie up——" The song stopped as abruptly as though some one had struck it from her lips. A strange man was kneeling by the beehive in the herb-garden. He was looking at her over his shoulder, at once startled and amused, and she saw that he was wearing a rather shabby tweed suit and that his face was oddly brown against his close- cropped, tawny hair. He smiled, his teeth a strong flash of white. “Hello!” he greeted her, in a tone at once casual and friendly. Daphne returned the smile uncer- tainly. “Hello,” she replied gravely. The strange man rose easily to his feet, and she saw that he was very tall and carried his head rather splendid- ly, like the young bronze Greek in Un- cle Roland’s study at home But his eyes—his eyes were strange—quite dark and burned out. The rest of him looked young and vivid and adventur- ous—but his eyes looked as though the adventure were over, though they were still questing. “Were you looking for any one?” she asked, and the man shook his head, laughing. “No one in particular, unless it was you.” Daphne’s soft brow darkened. “It couldn’t possibly have been me,” she said in a rather stately small voice, “because you see, I don’t know you. Perhaps you didn’t know that there is no one living in Green Gardens now ?” “Qh, yes, I knew. The Fanes have left for Ceylon, haven’t they?” “Sir Harry left two weeks ago, be- cause he had to see the old governor before he sailed, but Lady Audrey on- ly left last week. She had to close the London house, too, so there was a great deal to do.” “I see. And so Green Gardens is deserted 7” “It is sold,” said Daphne, with a small quaver in her voice, “just this afternoon. I came over to say good- by to it, and to get some mint and lav- ender from the garden.” “Sold ?”” repeated the man, and there was an agony of incredulity in the stunned whisper. He flung out his arm against the sun-warmed bricks of the high wall as if to hold off some in- vader. “No, no; they’d never dare to sell it.” " “I’m glad you mind so much,” said Daphne softly. “It’s strange that no- body minds but us, isn’t it? I cried at first—and then I thought that it would be happier if it wasn’t lonely and empty, poor dear—and then, it was such a beautiful day, that I for- got to be unhappy.” The manbes towed a wretched smile on her. “You hardly conveyed the impression of unrelieved gloom as you came around that corner,” he assur- ed her. “I—I haven’t a very good memory for being unhappy,” Daphne confessed remorsefully, a lovely and guilty rose staining her to her brow at the mem- ory of that exultant chant. He threw back his head with a sud- den shout of laughter. “These are glad tidings! I'd rather find a pagan than a Puritan at Green Gardens any day. Let’s both have a poor memory. Do you mind if I smoke ?” “No,” she replied, “but do you mind if I ask what you are doing here?” “Not a bit.” He lit the stubby brown pipe, curving his hand dexterously to shelter it from the little breeze. He had the most beautiful hands that she had ever seen, slim and brown and fine —they looked as though they would be miraculously strong—and miracu- lously gentle. “I came to see—I came to see whether there was ‘honey still for tea,” Mistress Dryad!” bonnie blue “Honey—for tea?” she echoed won- deringly, “was that why you were looking at the hive?” He puffed meditatively, “Well— partly. It’s a quotation from a poem. Ever read Rupert Brooke?” “Qh, yes, yes.” Her voice tripped in its eagerness. “I know one by heart—— «+f I should die think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be » 0 He cut in on the magical little voice roughly. “Ah, what damned nonsense! Do you suppose he’s happy, in his foreign field, that golden lover? Why should not even the dead be hcmesick? No, no—he was sick for home in Germany when he wrote that poem of mine-- he’s sicker for it in heaven, Ill war- rant.” He pulled himself up swiftly at the look of amazement in Daphne’s eyes. “I've clean forgotten my man- ners,” he confessed ruefully. “No, don’t get that flying look in your eyes —1 swear that I'll be good. It’s along time—it’s a long time since I've talk- ed to any one who needed gentleness. If you knew what need I had of it, you'd stay a little while, I think.” “Of course, I'll stay,” she said. “I'd love to, if you want me to.” “] want you to more than I have ever wanted anything that I can re- member.” His tone was so matter- of-fact that Daphne thought that she must have imagined the words. “Now, can’t we make ourselves comfortable for a little while? I'd feel safer if you weren't standing there ready for instant flight! Here's a nice bit of grass—and the wall for a back—-" Daphne glanced anxiously at the green muslin frock. “It’s—it’s pret- ty hard to be comfortable without cushions,” she submitted diffidently. The man yielded again to laughter. “Are even Dryads afraid to spoil their frocks? Cushions it shall be. There are some extra ones in the chest in the East Indian room, aren’t there?” Daphne let the basket slip through her fingers, her eyes black through sheer surprise. “But how did you know—how did you know about the lacquer chest?” she whispered breathlessly. “Qh, devil take me for a blundering ass!” He stood considering her for- lornly for a moment, and then shrug- ged his shoulders, with the brilliant and disarming smile. “The game’s up, thanks to my inspired lunacy! But I'm going to trust you not to say that you've seen me. I know about the lacquer chest because I always kept my marbles there.” “Are you—are you Stephen Fane?” At the awed whisper the man bowed low, all mocking grace, his hand on his heart—the sun burnishing his tawny head. “Oh-h!” breathed Daphne. She bent to pick up the wicker basket, her small face white and hard. “Wait!” said Stephen Fane. His face was white and hard too. “You are right to go—entirely, absolutely right —but I am going to beg you to stay. I don’t know what you’ve heard about me—however vile it is, it’s less than the truth——" “I have heard nothing of you,” said Daphne, holding her gold wreathed head high, “but five years ago 1 was not allowed to come to Green Gardens for weeks because I mentioned your name. I was told it was not a name to pass decent lips.” Something terrible leaped in those burned-out eyes—and died. “I had not thought they would use their hate to lash a child,” he said. “T'hey were quite right—and you, too. Good night.” “Good night,” replied Daphne clear- ly. She started down the path, but at its bend she turned to look back—be- cause she was seventeen, and it was June, and she remembered his laugh- ter. He was standing quite still by the golden straw beehive, but he had thrown one arm across his eyes, as though to shut out some intolerable sight. And then, with a soft little rush she was standing beside him. “How—how do we get the cush- ions?” she demanded breathlessly. Stephen Fane dropped his arm, and Daphne drew back a little at the sud- den blaze of wonder in his face. “Oh,” he whispered voicelessly. “Oh, you Loveliness!” He took a ste toward her, and then stood still, clinching his brown hands. Then he thrust them deep in his pockets, standing very straight. “I do think,” he said carefully, “I do think you had better go. The fact that I have tried to make you stay simply proves the particular type of rotter that I am. Good-by—TI’ll never forget that you came back.” “I'm not going,” said Daphne stern- ly. “Not if you beg me. Not if you are a devil out of hell. Because you need me. And no matter how many wicked things you have done, there can’t be anything as wicked as going away when some one needs you. How do we get the cuhsions?” “Oh, my wise Dryin!” His voice broke on laughter, but Daphne saw that his lashes were suddenly bright with tears. “Stay, then—why, even I cannot harm you. God himself can’t grudge me this little space of wonder —he knows how far I’ve come for it— hew I've fought and struggled and ached to win it—how in dirty lands and dirty places I've dreamed of sum- mer twilight in a still garden— and England, England!” “Didn’t you dream of me?” asked Daphne wistfully, with a little catch of reproach. He laughed again, unsteadily. “Why, who could ever dream of you, my Wonder? You are a thousand, thousand dreams come true.” Daphne bestowed on him a tremu- lous and radiant smile. “Please let us get the cushions. I think I am a little tired.” “And I am a graceless fool! There used to be a pane of glass cut out in one of the south casement windows. Shall we try that?” : “Please, yes. How did you find it, Stephen?” ~ She saw again that thrill of wonder on his face, but his voic was quite steady. ) “Y didn’t find it; I did it! It wasun- commonly useful, getting in that way semetimes, I can tell you. And, by the Lord Harry, here it is. Wait a minute, Loveliness—I'll get through and open the south door for you—no ‘chance that way of spoiling the frock.” | He swung himself up with the swift, } sure grace of a cat, smiled at her— vanished—it was hardly a minute lat- er that she heard the bolts dragging back in the south door, and he flung it wide. The sunlight streamed into the deep hall and stretched hesitant fingers in- to the dusty quiet of the great East Indian room, gilding the soft tones of the faded chintz, touching very gent- ly the polished furniture and the dim prints on the walls. He swung across the threshold without a word, Daphne tiptoeing behind him. “How still it is,” he said in a hushed voice. “How sweet it smells!” “It’s the potpourri in the Canton jars,” she told him shyly. “I always made it every summer for Lady Au- drey—she thought I did it better than any one else. I think so too.” She flushed at the mirth in his eyes, but held her ground sturdily. “Flowers are sweeter for you if you love them —even dead ones,” she explained bravely. were not sweet for you.” Her cheeks burned bright at the low intensity of his voice, but he turned suddenly away. “Oh, there she sails—there she sails still, my beauty. Isn’t she the proud one though—straight into the wind!”. He hung over the little ship model, thrilled as any child. “The fly- ing Lady—sée where it’s painted en her? I was seven—he had it from his fath- er when he was six. Lord, how proud I was!” He stood back to see it bet- ter, frowning a little. “One of those ropes is wrong; any fool could tell that—" a moment—dropped. the new owners are probably not sea- farers! The lacquer chest is at the far end, isn’t it? Yes, here. Are three enough—four? We're off!” But still he lingered, sweeping the great room with his dark eyes. “It’s fuli of all kinds of junk—they never liked it —no period, you see. I had the run of it—I loved it as though it were ailve; it was alive, for me. From Elizabeth’s day down, all the family adventurers brought their treasures here—beaten gold and hammered sil- ver—mother-of-pearl and peacock feathers, strange woods and stranger spices, porcelains and embroideries and blown glass. There was always an adventurer somewhere in each gen- eration—and however far he wander- ed, he came back to Green Gardens to bring his treasures home. When I was a yellow-headed imp of Satan, hiding my marbles in the lacquer chest, I used to swear that when I grew up I would bring home the finest treasure of all, if I had to search the world from end to end. And now the last adventurer has come home to Green Gardens—and he has searched the world from end to end—and he is empty-handed.” “No, no,” whispered Daphne. has brought home the greatest treas- ure of all, that adventurer. He has brought home the beaten gold of his love, and the hammered silver of his dreams—and he has brought them from very far.” “He had brought greater treasures than this to you, lucky the last of the adventurers. “You can never be sad again—you will always be gay and proud—because for just of her hair and the silver of her voice.” : “He wicked girl, and I hope that he will talk some more. And please, I think we will go into the garden and see.” All the way back down the flagged quiet—even after he had arranged the cushions against the rose-red wall, even after he had stretched out at full length beside her and lighted another ipe. After a while he said, staring at the straw hive: “There used to. be a jol- ly little fat brown one that was a great pal of mine. How long do bees live?” “lI don’t know,” she answered vaguely, and after a long pause, full of quiet, pleasant odors from the bee- garden, and the sleepy happy noises of small things tucking themselves away for the night, and the faint but poignant drift of tobacco smoke, she asked: “What was it about ‘honey still for tea?” “Oh, that!” He raised himself on one elbow so that he could see her better. “It was a poem I came across while I was in East Africa; some one sent a copy of Rupert Brooke’s things to a chap out there, and this one fast- ened itself around me like a vice. It starts where he’s sitting in a cafe in Berlin with a lot of German Jews around him, swallowing down their beer; and suddenly he remembers. All the lost, unforgetable beauty comes back to him in that dirty place; it gets him by the throat. It got me, too. ‘“ ‘Ah, God! to see the branches stir Across the moon at Grantchester! To smell the thrilling-sweet and rotten Unforgettable, unforgotten River-smell, and hear the breeze Sobbing in the little trees. Oh, is the water sweet and cool, Gentle and brown, above the peol? And laughs the immortal river still Under the mill, under the mill? Say, is there Beauty yet to find? And Certainty? and Quiet kind Deep meadows yet, for to forget The lies, and truths, and pain? yet i Stands the Church clock at ten to three? And is there honey still for tea? ” “That’s beautiful,” she said, “but it hurts.” “Thank God you'll never know how it hurts, little Golden Heart in quiet gardens. But for some of us, caught like rats in the trap of the ugly fever we called living, it was black torture and yet our dear delight to remember the deep meadows we had lost—to wonder if there was honey still for tea.’ “Stephen, won't you tell me about it—won’t that help?” And suddenly some one else looked at her through those haunted eyes—a little boy, terrified and forsaken. “Oh, I have no right to soil you with it. But I came back to tell some one about it—1I had to, I had to. I had to wait until father and Audrey went . oh, “They would be dead indeed, if they Grandfather gave it to me when | His hands hovered over it for . “No matter— “He room,” said ' one moment he brought you the gold i is talking great nonsense,’ room,” said a very small voice, “but | it is beautiful nonsense, and I am a | path to the herb-garden they were! away. I knew they’d hate to see me— she was my step-mother, you know, and she always loathed me, and he never cared. In East Africa I used to stay awake at night thinking that I might die, and that no one in England would ever care—no one would know how I loved her. It was worse than dying to think of that.” : “But why couldn’t you come back to Green Gardens—why couldn’t you make them see, Stephen?” “Why, what was there to see? When they sent me down from Oxford for that dirty little affair, I was only nine- teen—and they told me I had disgrac- ed my name and Green Gardens and my country—and I went mad with pride and shame, and swore I'd drag their precious name through the dirt of every country in the world. And I ‘did—and I did.” His head was buried in his arms, but Daphne heard. It seemed strange indeed to her that she felt no shrink- ing and no terror; only great pity for what he had lost, great grief for what | he might have had. For a minute she forgot that she was Daphne, the heed- less and gay-hearted, and that he was a broken and an evil man. For a min- ute he was a little lad, and she was his lost mother. “Don’t mind, Stephen,” she whis- EE —_—,,—,—— ———————————————————————————— pered to him, “don’t mind.
