Mrs. Danks had never heard of Sisyphus, If she had she was infinitely harder and more hope- less, What was it? Mental, or moral, or physical weakness, or all three? Or an evil fate, that whatever he turned his hand to immediately failed? Even his name seemed an unkind fAmg of for- tune. His mother having attended, shortly before his birth, the perfor. mance of some strolling actors, was so much impressed that the name of Bru- tus Cassius was waiting for him when he arrived upon the stage where he was to play so Insignificant a part. It was seldom, however, that he had the bene- fit of his full name, for the community in which he grew up delighted In ab- breviations. But even their rough famibiarity hesitated to call a man - " to his face, so he was dubbed “Cash,” a perpetual satire upon him who rarely had any cash in his pocket. Against all these odds Mrs, Danks had fought a good fight; but in the struggle her straight back had been bent, and the snap had gone from her eyes to her been because it was early spring, and the air was full of that indefinable sense of expectancy, that vague hint of rejuvenation that would touch every- thing except the Danks fortunes. And perhaps it was because the flour barrel was empty; but, whatever the cause, Mrs, Danks turned from the doorway thoroughly wretched. Half an hour later Mr, Danks saun- tered in with the water, the child fol- lowed with a string of two or three fish Setting the pail down, he sald a de- precating way: *‘I have about conclu- ded to take with Badgers offer, and go up to Cooperville.” She made no answer, and he continu- ed: “Ef anythin’ sh’d happen, I could come home,” “0, yes!” she answered, ‘you could come home easy enough.” The man winced, and his sallow face reddened, “I don’t 8’pose I’m a master hand at gettin’ a livin’, but I tell ye, Malviny, fate isagin’ me.

Danks when the boy burst in with his branch and mes- sage: “Your pa's getting silly in his old age. 1 don’t want such truck in the house.” But after the hoy had gone she put it carefully in water and set it on the kitchen shelf, and several times she looked up at it with a look on her face which Mr. Danks would scarcely have recognized. That gentieman’s absence made very little difference with his family, except to Capitola, His wife scolded a little Jess, and the boys, who looked upon him very much as another boy-—only one who liked to sit in the same place the sun shone out bright and clear, but on what a scene of destruction]!

The boys watched eagerly, speculating at the amount of firewood thus laid at their door. “Hi! That’s a good one,” cried one of them, as just at dusk something like a log appeared around the corner of the barn, balanced a moment as though un- decided, and then swept around into the little harbor, But it was getting too dark to see anything more, so they went laughing and scuffing to bed. All night long mother and children slept quietly in the little house, lulled by the rush of swift waters.
