Mrs. Johnson, coming unexpectedly
Into the dining room, where the new
girl was laying the cloth for dinner,
looked at her with a sudden inteutness.
'"Haven't you been crying, Johan
na?" she asked kindly,
i "Ach, it iss not much." the woman
said, a refractory tear starting down
her cheek; "It iss that America so
strange iss- and the city—l the cows
miss—and the garden aud making the
butter—yes." And her exceedingly
blond skin turned red with the effort
she made to keep the tears from com
ing in torrents.
Mrs. Johnson's eyes looked medita
tive while she tried to think what form
of comfort to offer.
"I'm sorry you are homesick; it's an
awful feeling; but cheer up," she said
sympathetically. "I'll give the cook
money for theater tickets, and you
can both go to see that spectacular
thing they say is so wonderful."
Johanna smiled gratefully. "You so
very good Iss," she said as she went
: toward the kitchen.
In the midst of his dinner Mr. John
son thought of something and com
menced laughing.
"I had a most unusual order today
from a customer down south. He or
"T'M JOHN Bmnra," IIU HAIU
dercd i whole Jisi of things, then
waxed with 'one wife for a widower
of thirty-five.'"
Mrs. Johnson's eyes were wide with
unbelief. "C'luuiyy Johnson, you cer
tainly are joking! The man couldn't
ipave' been so foolish as to be In ear
nest?"
"It wasn't for himself; it was for a
country customer—a young widower
with a dairy farm on his hands that
has been going to rack and i.uiu sittoe
his wife died "
Mis. Johnson was evidently struck
\vitfi an inspiration.
"Oh, Charley, how would Johanna
she suggested enthusiastically,
"I she >vc|Ul<j do tinely—Ju»t
fill tins "lull- if she would go," Mr.
Johnson finished dubiously. "But if I
seut down a piece of pink and white
yellow haired perfection as Johanna I
am afraid I would havo au order from
every farmer in North Carolina and
would be forced to opei\ q, mmrlmonlal
bureau "
,r Do you know anything about the
widower?" Mrs. Johnson asked at
length.
"Yes; Ilayes me a letter, and
£.ivq a pen picture of his life from the
Crndle to the grav-e—his wife's grave."
he odded, with n grift appreciative of
jtis w!t ; ><H.vs ne will absolutely vouch
ror him and that If I can find a woman
who is suited to the man he described
it will be a good thing for her. By
Jove, I believe Johanna is the $$ giua
ultra—lf she'll go. uiie can't talk
better English.^
' "Oh, her little talk won't
make any difference. Ire can stand it.
You see, I'm able to stand your Latin
or French, whichever it is- l pan never
quite determine <r«m your. accent,"
*******
violin burden pulled the horses up
under the shade of an elm near the
door of the ladies' waiting room and
handed the reins to his companion,
with a sheepish smile.
"Hold t)U to. th&se, Mr, Hayes. You
me into this business, and you
must help see me through. Do I look
much like a fool?''
Martin Hayes, dealer in general mer
chandise, chuckled as he took the reins.
"Xo, sir. You are the personification
of the gay and festive bridegroom -
not an unnecessary of foolishness
about yo s u. or course, the new suit
iiud the rosebud in your buttonhole
£re allowable as befitting the occasion,
freest suit I had in stock, old boy.
Hope she'll like it."
Burden arranged his necktie with
clumsy fingers. "Glad all this internal
quaking don't show on the outside.
There's tho train in sight. Gee! PoiPt
believe there's ever a day made as ho(|
as this."
y*i made his way through the crowd
around the depot and stationed himself
where he could get a good view of the
passengers alighting from the train.
"I've been atald and have traveled
in tne usual rut all my life," he com
muned with himself, "but if this ain't
acting like a fellow in a novel, I never
read one."
He kept on the lookout for a woman
wearing a dirk blue dress and carry
ing a suit case marked Johanna Gersler.
Mr. Johnson had written that he would
■ee that the name was printed in large
letters and that there would probably

blond fairness an unusual style in a
southern town—and the thermometer
seemed to jump several degrees up

"She looks like—like—an angel!" he
muttered. "She will be disappointed
in me," and he went to her anxiously
and diffidently.
"I'm John Burden," he said simply.
"You—you did want me to come?"
Her voice trembled and he saw tears
In her blue eyes.
"Want you? Want you?" His tone
gained assurance. "Anybody with an

almost a whisper.

her halting English, "even the cows

He led her Into the house and paused
before a sweet, clean room whose mus

windows.
"This is your room," he said simply.
"Mine is across the hall, where I can
hear if you get afraid and call me."
His honest sunburned face was full
of kindness, aud although her compre

caught a glimpse of his soul in a lan

"Take off your hat, little woman. I
hear old Jenny putting supper on the

her hair where her hat had pressed it
tightly against her moist forehead, and
he hesitatingly touched It with his hand
and freed It from her temples.
"I hope you'll feel homelike aud will
grow to love the farm—aud maybe

"I like it all—and you," she answered
