I When Annie Played I Gooseberry jj "> "By Ethel Harrington < S Copyright, I!XM, hy Homer Sprague / Blackberries hedged the road on either siOe as it wound higher and higher toward the Rorkshires. Ilere and there some belated strawberries, tiny specks of crimson in the grass, joined their fragrance to the invigor ating breath of the pines. From an uapalnted barn came the persistent click-clack, thud-thud of a loom, where Miss Lettice was weaving yards of carpet from little balls of colored rag. A voice sharp enough to the verge of displeasure startled her. "Will you finish tomorrow, sister?" "I—it doesn't hardly seem possible"— •' 'Twas promised. 'Pears to me you're uncommon slow. Surely you're uot such a fool as to be thinking o' William Henderson and such nonsense at your age." Miss Lettice's hand involuntarily sought tiie fastening of her bodice, but the faint crackle of the secreted paper was too imperceptible to reach Mrs. Allen's ears. "The letter was delayed. He's going away tomorrow"— "Lettice Howard, he's no man for you. We settled that years ago. I'm ashamed for you—that you so much as think on him now." "He's free again"— Miss Lettice spoke depreeatingly. "Free, is it? If he wasn't good enough for you when he was young, a widower with three children certain ly ain't no gain." With a toss of the head Mrs. Allen recrossed the road to her cottage. Miss I.etiice sat miserably uncer tain, her hands Idle in her lap. She forgot the loom and Mrs. Harris, who was counting on tlie finished carpet. Her thoughts were with the curly head ed lad from whom her sister had sep arated her because he failed to settle in the town where he was born, but, like a rolling stone, was forever wan dering, apparently gathering little o this world's goods. Now he had re turned and wanted to see her. It seemed a cruel prank of fate to have joined force:; with her sister and In the form of delayed mail prevent their meeting. A tear gathered beneath her lashes, but before it fell a pair of warm arms wound themselves around her neck. "Aunt Lettice, you're in loye, in love! Don't ask me how I know, because you are. You don't listen to what folks are saying, and as to the car pet"— "Yes, dear, the carpet." Miss Lettice seized the shuttle and sent it flying through the shed of warp threads. Her feet mechanically worked the treadle shining the heddles; then with the bat ten she bent the woof of rag into place again and again. "We can't talk through that noise." she remarked plaintively. "My dear, there is nothing"— "There is, you darling. Come, 'fess up. I'm not to be put off. It's fellow sympathy." The crimson deepened In the laughing face, and with soft whee dling she gulucd the desired confidence, and Miss Lettice surrendered her let ter. It was in no sense a love letter, yet it was tiie nearest approach that the spinster had ever received. Possibly she read between the lines; Dear Leltict'—l am visiting my brother Joe till W't'-ilnesday. I want so much to see you. If I'd be welcome send me word. Yours, as ever, WILLIAM. "I—l only got it last night"— "It's too late to write now," her niece hurried no, "but you must goto Chatham to see him. Make believe you're shopping. Jennie's going tomor row. I'll have Rob ask her to stop for you." "Sister would never listen. Besides, it's not the carrier's day." "She's making a special trip for Hob's mother. Just to think"—the girl rose excitedly "it must be ten years"— "Twelve." "And you've cared all this time! Oh, Aunt Lettice, how could you bear itf Mother's i; > >d as she can be, only she's hail so m.a-h trouble it's made her a little hard. Do as 1 say and I'll play _oose!»eiT.v i'or you.

About 10 walk dowu the road till the carrier overtakes you, tlien to Chatham with her and to Joe Henderson's, ask for William and you'll have hours togeth er. Jennie will pick you up on her homeward trip. You'll be back to sup per. Mother need never know unless you choose to tell her." "But the carpet! If she doesn't hear the loom she'll come over to find out what's wrong." •'Leave that to me. I've got to think, but I'll fix it somehow."

FRONT ST, anxiously at her sister's Hushed cheeks and untouched plate. With the mor row William would be gone, then Let tice would return to her normal self. Later, when Annie wandered down the road with Hob, the moonlight show ed their heads very close together, while now aud again the girl broke into a ripple of mischievous laughter. Watching, the mother felt a pang of jealousy. Rob was a good match, yet she dreaded the day she must yield her daughter to another, and tonight the time seemed \ ery near. She went sev eral times to tier room for forgotten trifles. am! etch time there showed a line of light beneath her sister's door. "Seems t > me you're a long time getting to bed." ?--he admonished. "I—l'm most ready." came there nlv. If Miss Lettioe's voice sounded tess even than usual Mrs. Allen was *.iot herself sufficiently calm to notice. As was customary in the morning. Miss Lett ice betook herself to the barn, :.nl the woikii; of the loom broke familiarly on the quiet air. Shortly 10 Mrs. Allen, attracted by the in: ;bie of wheels on the road, saw that t!ie carrier was making an extra trip. Sh • sp>ke of it to Annie, who came in hot and tired to noonday dinner. "Call your aunt." she continued. " The p >;•!; will be cold. I got it specially to tempt her. She's eaten nothing these tw > d iy.-." "i: >b's mother invited her"— began Ann • nervously. rial ior r~ Mrs. Allen turned .rply, dish in hand. • She has some rags for carpet weuv ing. Rob told me about it." Mrs. Allen sniffed, disgruntled. "Your aunt had togo traipsing off without telling me. Besides, there's none too much daylight to finish Mrs. Harris' piece." In the afternoon she was too busy preserving to notice Annie's absence or give thought of her sister, but when the last Jar of Jelly was sealed she caught up her sunbonnet and crossed the road to relieve Lettice. "As she entered the barn the glare from the outside sunlight blinded her, but even when that passed she doubt ed her own sight. Rob was working the loom while Annie, rosy and tender, hung over the back of his chair. Miss Lettice was nowhere to be seen, but the carpet was completed. Even as >he entered Rob threw down the shut tle and caught Annie around the waist. "Now. ray reward!" he cried, his lips seeking hers lovingly. "Annie!" At Mrs. Allen's cry the young people turned, but Rob did not release the girl. "Mrs. Allen, slip's promised—that Is, with your approval. I love her. I'll be as good to her as I know how." "Say ves, mother. I'm so happy"— There was a painful silence before Sirs. Allen reluctantly cave consent; then her bitterness sought an outlet. "Where is your aunt?" "The carpet's done." explained Rob cheerfully. "Done, is it? By whom?" "Mis' Allen. Mis' Allen"— The car rier drew her horse up at the barn and 011 .\ir>. Allen's appearance thrust a note into her hand atid hastened on. "Daughter, did you know of this?" Mrs. Allen's voice shook as she passed the paper to the girl, who read aloud: "Sistpr. «'on't be angry. I just had to .see William, and he could not bear that we should pr.rt again. I'm very happy. r.KTTICK HENDERSON. "She's married, mother dear. Now it's done won't you be glad too?" Rut Mrs. Allen turned and walked silently over to the cottage. "It's a bit rough on her losing you both the same day," admitted Rob, drawing the girl's hand Into his, "but we'll make it nil tip to her in the fu ture." Tlie Telltale Cloak. In the old days men and boys wore rather long cloaks in the winter time. They were black and were lined with very bright and showy Scotch plaids. One winter's night when I was start ing to church to square a crime of some kind committed during the week I hid my cloak near the gate and went off and played with the other boys un til church was over. Then I returned home. I tut in Hie dark I put the cloak oti wr side out. entered the room !j !. The Home Paper ii of Danville. i i i ! . i Of course you read I 1 lj Ml. % i i I !
