Sweet, In Farm Journal, Miss Hutton ; tr :: MAUD R. MAYNE TATHIB was patting Anita'- plump 1 .hand reassuringly, as Miss Hut- to" ?urr7d bjr em In the ball.

" ... ',...., A ... 4Vot to flatly contradict the dry smile that moved her lips. She said not a word, but going to her desk, removed a huge pile of pa pers and sat down determinedly to mark them. For half an hour her Pendl checked tirelessly, scratching down its final Judgment with relent less vigor; then it stopped suddenly, and the examination papers dropped Iln a heap to rhe floor. "I believe those art students down , stairs absolutely hate me!" she said. I "I'm sure Katherlne looked It as I I passed her Just now. If I've a friend In this house I don't know It or any where else, for that matter. Just let a woman grow old and ugly and half sick, and friends fly faster than trash In a March gale!" She was looking out, as she spoke, at the little whirling eddies of dust, the gate that creaked on Us rusty hinges, the swinging and swaying of the bare brown trees. "It makes me cross as two sticks when the wind bangs things about like this!" she ex claimed. And cross enough was her "Come In," when a knock upon her door gave her a sudden start. It was a determined young face that looked in upon her then, with brown, eyes steady, though the round chin quivered. "Miss Hutton." said Katherlne, "I've come to apologize for my rude speech In the hall. I'm very much ashamed of myself for letting my temper go like that." "Well, you ought to be!" said Miss Hutton, severely. Katherine'a eyes flashed. "And so ought you!" she retorted. "I was rude In the hall, but you were more rude at the table; and you hurt Anita's feelings dreadfully. You ought to know how sensitive she Is about her nose!" "Who Bald anything about her nose?" demanded Miss Hutton. Who else has a broken one?" blazed the girl. Tor shame to com ment upon another's misfortune! Anita's not to blame because her nose was broken. And I'll tell you what I think. Miss Hutton. I think your disposition needs making over a deal worse than Anita's nose!" "And I think you've forgotten your penitence and turned " "Turned fury! Yes, I have, and now that you've paved the way I'll tell you what I think of you and re lieve my mind. I think you are the most selfish, snappish, disagreeable woman I ever knew. I don't believe you ever said a kind thing In your life. If there's an' ugly trait In any body you'll discover and develop It! You can make me so furious In five minutes that I feel like a perfect sav age! I hate you! And everybody hates you! And I can't Imagine what people like you were born for!" Kathle was storming downstairs In a passion of tears, when a good natured little old gentleman, remov ing his coat In the lower hall, came bustling up with a "Bless me, Miss Kathie, what's It all about?" "Oh, Mr. Shepard!" walled the girl. "I've gone and done It now! I've said every Impudent thing I could to MIbs Hutton and made her mad as a wet hen, and myself still madder." "Tut-tut. Miss Kathle. I never knew you vexed In my life. I would call you a thorough little lady. That Is what Mrs. Shopard has always called you." "I I used to be," sobbed the girl, and she laughed hysterically as she went on: "Did you hear her toll Mrs. Barnes that her dear little Johnnie was so fat he was deformed? And she called our good Mr. Lamb a cant ing hyprocrite, and only to-day at lunch made a malicious speech about the Lord breaking some folks' noses instead of their high spirits, because Anita happened to laugh in her pres ence. I tell you I'd rather have smallpox In the house than that sour old gooseberry!" Mr. Shepard shook his head, shocked and a trifle bewildered. "My dear i said worse m;ngs man tnai ngnt BLOOMSBURQ, PA. to her face! I went In to apologize to her, and what an apology I made of It! I'm deadly ashamed! I'll never be able to look myself In the face again. And oh, I'll have to write and tell mamma my little lady mother!" "Can't you smooth It over somehow with with the enemy?" "I shouldn't dare try again. I'll go to my room and think." i And while Kathle sat enntrttcly thinking, Miss Hutton was thinking too, her heart stirred as It had not been In years. "And I can't Imagine what people like you were born for!" Something In that last hot speech of Kathle'a had caused her to take from her worn trunk the old-fashioned album that held a small picture marked "Susie at five." She looked at it long, the little sun- , ny, smiling face, the round, bright eyes, the dimpled chin. Nobody won- ' dered what she was horn for In those days, she fancied, when "Susie" was five or even 10 or 15. She remem bered the dear, grizzly old gentleman who called her "Morning-glory," and how the home name "Sunshine" had clung to her for years and years. When had she lost It? When had she changed from the "Sunshine" of younger days to the "selfish, snappish, disagreeable woman" of now? "Susie at five" seemed to look Miss Susan Hutton through and through until every corner of her hardened heart was a-qulver with remorse and shame. "I would never have expected to be like this," she said, with a sudden choke, shutting her eyes lightly upon the slow tears that were filling them. "I used to Imagine myself growing Into a sweet patient old lady, given to dainty gowns and caps and the plan ning of surprises for the youngsters. A soured, dyspeptic schoolmarm would have been my last Idea of myself. I can see It now, though it has all been so gradual how In my efforts to care for my own health I have lost all con sideration Tor the world outside, and simply grown more and more self absorbed, nervous and ugly tem pered." Outside, the March gale rattled the shutters and creaked the gate, but still Miss Hutton sat thinking, thinking. That night at dinner she passed Kathle the rolls and smiled as she said: "There's a corner one, Miss Kathie, brown and crusty. I know your pref erence, you see," and Katherlne was so amazed that she almost dropped the bread plate. "She has always taken the corner rolls herself," said Anita, In comment ing upon the matter next day, "Anita Baxter, don't say a word! "said Katherlne, solemnly. "It makes me want to talk In whispers. After all the dreadful things I said to her! And do you know she's at home taking care of jonnnie Barnes this minute, while his mother goes to church. And she was eoolng over him as If she'd taken care of babies all her Ufa. Ha forgiving little chap or he'd howl In her iace, rememDering all the unflattering remarks she's made about him." The week long Miss Hutton, gentle, quiet, was an object of mystified won der to her fellow boarders; and when on Saturday night, she Invited them all to her room, Incredulity could stretch no farther. "I'm scared of my life," said Anita, though there ought to be safety in numbers." "Don't be funny," said Katherlne. For my part, whenever I think of her I feel like going down on all fours " But for all that she looked with pleased eyes about Miss Hutton'a cozy rooms that bore such a holiday air It was a cool spring night, and the dancing fire In the little grate threw a rosy light upon the fresh white curtains, the little open piano and the bowls of early cro cuses and Jonquils that were scattered about. Through the'doorway onecaught glimpses of a dainty tea table appetiz lngly suggestive to hungry schoolgirls. When everybody had arrived, even to bustling Mr. Shepard and the dimpled Barnes baby. Miss Hutton, her face gone suddenly white, walked to the fireplace, and turned to them with something In her manner that hushed all other voices In the room. "Miss Paslni Is coming to sing for us presently," she said, "and I hope you will enjoy it, but before she comes there Is something I must say if you will kindly hear me. A week ago something happened which set me thinking which made me realize what a miser able sort of person what a failure nave Deen. I want to apologize all 'round. I really want to be different I want friends " And there the voice, first so nervously hurried, then so faltering, broke off with a choke, and It was Impulsive Kathle who took a quick step to the older wom an and placed her warm arm around her. "We understand you, Miss Hut ton, Indeed we do. You're a real hero ine, and we are glad to be your friends." And then everybody talked very hard and fast, the baby crowed and laughed, Miss Pasinl came and sang like a lark! and Anita slipped over and whispered into Miss Mutton's ear: "You may say anything you like about my ridiculous nose. I'll love you any way ! "Farm and Home. harr it Monument to Hlmaelf. C. A.
