"No, I nln't never goln' to forgive bcrl" It was the twine answer, In the same dogged ami unrelenting tone, accom panied by the sauio forbidding frown, that had been meted out to Susan Iter crly for seven long yenrs. Each year Just before Tlmnksglvlng she had ven tured the samo question longingly, "John, ain't you goln' to fcrglve her an' ask her homo for Thauksglvln'?" only to oxperlenco each time a fresh pang of disappointment. If she could only havo kept from hoping, but she couldn't Tender, forgiving. Impulsive herself, she could not understand the nature of Uio man sho had married "TOE HOSPITAL AN IMMKDIATH OPERA TION ! IT'S H1H ONLT CHANCE." and faithfully served for thirty years. Trlde. the stubborn, wrongful pridu that forbids a man to own his faults, bad shut him away from tho joy that comes from a realization of the truth that "to err is human, to forgive di vine." Mrs. Beverly wiped her eyes on her apron with a trembling hand. "Oh, John, how can you bo so hard on your own girl, and sech a good girl as she alius was too? If it had been some awful thing she'd done, but jest marryin' a doctor, 'stead o' a farmer! How could tho poor child control her heart? An' I hear they're doin well up In tho city. Got n nice home with everything Used up convenient an' one o' these big red ortomoblles" "Durned foolishness!" snorted tho farmer, reaching for his coat "D'you think I'd countenanco ono o' my fam ily rldln' iu ono o' them coutraptions o' the devil? I ain't got no uso for them ner Uielr fine citified airs." "Hut tho children, John they've got two. an' I ain't never seen either of 'em, an' " "You c'n put tip our dinner. AVo'll bo over In the south lot cuttin' wood all day," was tho curt rejoindor. She watched her husband and son out of sight as they trudged heavily across the meadow, now blackened by the frost. Tho latter was a sturdy, broad shouldered fellow, born and trained for a tiller of tho soil, a typ ical young farmer la his overalls, checked jumper and broad straw hat There was uo chance of John Bcvorly being disappointed In his son nnd heir. Philip was perfectly content to follow In his father's foolatoprf, city life pos sessing no attractions for him that were not overborne by tho independ ent toil, the froo life and tho whole some surroundings of bis country home. Uo was tho pride of hla fa ther's heart and all the moro his hopo and idol since hla only daughtor had chosen her own mate regardless of his wishes and bad preferred a doctor with u city prectlco to a well to do farmer whom bo bad picked out for her as he would havo considered pur chasing for hor a new saddio pony. "If anything was to happen to Philip," mused Snsan Beverly as she put up a clean roller towel and began to clear away the breakfast dished, "lt'd nigh about kill hla pa." Then a sudden chill of rebellion struck her. Hadn't sho 'given up her idol, hor only girl, almost, It seemed to hor, before dolls and mud pies had given place to bcaus and long dresses, not as other mothers do, to see her Bcttlod In her own home, to visit back nnd forth, to share ber sweet domes ticity, to bold ber Uttlo chlldreu in ber arras? No, Sho had said goodby to Mllllo as tf sho bad bocu laying tho pretty, gentle child In her grave and bad uever seen her since nor tho dear little babes that God bad sent her. Surely hers was a sad, n bitter lot Yet something sang In her heart as she worked today, Uie vaguo melody hope croons for us sometimes wheu our prospects seem darkest. Sho baked and brewed and scrubbed and polished, and when all was done and hi order sho carefully Ironed her own noat print dress, wblto collar aud apron for the morrow's donning. Six o'clock approached, tho bonr when bar husband and son might be expected, and a bountiful Bupper was keeping warm In the l-inge oven. 'fli pantry tloor hid from staht it kl collection of the tmnil 'I'liiinlt.i-i viands, the tloor sh me spotlunid.v. ,n. every pan and cup gleamed like i ror from Its pirn e on the kltt lieu v. The kettle sung; the cat purm' 1 hissing lire warmly delled the I . frost of the bin! outside, whirl: t rising In w'vurlty. All was p.. cozlness mid comfort when Mrs. erly was suddenly startled by a m . disheveled figure Hinging it.elf l'i ai the door. "Philip!" gasped John Beverly h ' -Ingly, his face whiter thau his v. UV apron. "He is hurt crushed-under 'i tree!" Even ns her shrine of wild dtam-iv rang out a huge automobile came elm -cunning up to the pile, nnd u stranger sprang out. "Quick, come and help me rescue riv boy!" cried out John Beverly, runnl " toward blin wildly. "He was cut tin' down a tree an' It fell on him. an' I couldn't lift ltl" "Oh, hurry!" panted Philip's mother, "ne may bo dead dyln' already." The stranger spoke a RWlft word or two to the heavily veiled woman In tho big red car aud helped her out. then lifted to the ground the boy and girl on the back scat Then he almost flung the old man Into the seat, sprang In and at a touch sont the huge ma chlno gliding over tho smooth white roadway. It seemed lncredlblo to John Beverly, who nail walked the weary mile many a ttnio, that they could h:fo negotiat ed U In such a short space of time, but alsuMt before ho was through giving the straiiRer directions they roPed into the wood aud tho next instant were nt work freeing tho unconscious boy. The stranger mado a rapid examiua ti of tbo tatter's injuries, which un flrd the grave fears he bad enler Ulaed at tho first glance. "The hospital an immediate opera tion! Ifs his only chance." was his trso comment. "But" his father cried, aghast at tho awful possibilities, "the nearest hospital U twenty miles away!" Silently the stranger pointed to the motorcar. Together they placed the Injured boy as comfortably ns jiosslble within It The stranger did what he could to stop the bleeding and make the patient easy, pulling out a black medical case from beneath the seat. "Tou're a doctor?" queried John Beverly, eying him curiously. Tin man only nodded, being engrossed In his work. When it was finished he snapped shut tho case, throw It Into the machine, sprang in himself and. without a backward glance, sent the car spinning ont Into the road again. That wild ride was n dream, a kind of nightmare to Philip's father, crouch lng low In the seat and holding his boy's head in bis lap, not knowing whether to hope or to fear. Houses and hills and trees flew by. enveloped in a kind of haze. The walls of the hospital rose before them near ner r or they were there. And they carried Philip away and told bis father to wait in the room outside. It was nearly an hour after they had taken him Into the operating room tbat tho father heard the glad news from the head surgeon: "Your son Is doing nicely. He has a strong constitution and ought to be out of here in a week or two." Then, with a smile and a nod to ward tho stranger who had brought Philip, tho surgeon added: "A greut deal Is duo to Dr. Everett here. A bit of bungling at tho start might have meant death to your son, but hLs wiso handling of the case, and especially his getting the boy heri go promptly, spelled success In a very rcrious case." "Dr. Ererott!" gasped John Bev erly, blanching, as the familiar lines "I Ar MTT1H TO TAXHYBB HAND, NED, ur nor, i Aia'." of a more youthful face began to shape themselTOs behind tbo stranger's boavy raascallno board. "Not Ned Everett not my daughter Millie's husband?" "Tho samo," exclaimed tbo lattei boartlly, holding out his band to bis fathor-ln-law, "Mllllo and I could stand it no longer, but were plaunlug to take you by surprise." Tho old inau placed his toll worn baud In that of bis son-in-law. "I ain't iltten to take yer band, Ned, my boy, I ain't," bo said humbly. "I'm a blind, stubborn old fool. But If yer wlllln' to let bygones bo bygones I'll be tbo gratefulest and happiest man In Noo York." A few minutes later, as bo stood bo Bido his son, who smiled hopefully. If wanly, up from bis pillow, ho turned to the younjr doctor; "Well, I ought to glvo thanks to morrer suro enough," said be. "Tbo Lord's glv' me back my boy an' my girl an' tbrowod In a mighty tine son-in-law for good measure." GRAY MAY Australian Bll'M-i!
