Hannah Payne's
Mulberry Tree
A Feud Between
Two Friends
By CLARISSA MACKIE
It was a small tree, but it had a
wide spread of branches, and when
the large leaves were out they formed
a dense shndo that quite hid the view
from Hannah Payne's windows as well
ns it deprived her left hand neighbor,
Abigail Hodson, of any glimpse of the
village street
Once Bevcral years before this story
opens Ablpill had crawled through tho
gap in tho fence that divided the two
houses and knocked at her friend's
back door.
"Hannah," she said, with a noto of
complaint in her voice, "what do you
think?"
"Well?" queried Hannah sharply, for
she resented Abigail's complaining
tone.
"When I got up this morning I no
ticed tho mulberry tree had leaved out
so I couldn't see a mite of the road.
It makes it dreadful lonesome not to
bco anything at all."
"Well?" repeated Hannah.
"What are you going to do about
it?" demanded Abigail, with asperity.
"Nothing," Hannah had said.
"I thought maybe you'd break off a
long branch of it so's I could have a
view."
"It cuts off my view, too," returned
Hannah.
"I should think you'd want to see
the street. You always set store by
seeing the street," persisted tho tact
less Abigail.
"I'vo got enough work to do with
out peeking nt the street," said Ilan-
nah loftily.
That was the beginning of the bit
terness between Hannah Payne and
her friend Abigail Hodson. From a
cold nod tho breach widened until they
did not speak at all, and then early
one morning Abigail arose and replaced
the three pickets that had been re
moved from tho dividing fence. Han
nah heard the sound of the hammer
and came to the window, but she said
nothing, only tho stubborn look remain
ed on her face.
Three years had passed, and the mul
berry tree throve mightily. It sent out
broad green leaves that cast a denser
shade over Hannah's house and kept
tho suushlne from tho rooms. She
had to keep a keener watch over her
books and clothing, for the little house
seemed damp, and mold gathered quick
ly on different articles.
Tho fruit ripened on the tree, and
the birds came and carried it off. Dur
ing the season when tho mulberries
were ripe the birds came in flocks to
feed upon them, but Abigail nodson
would have scorned to touch one of
the ripe berries, although in tho past
she had been very fond of them.
On this particular summer morning
it was very dull In Green lane, where
the two women lived. Abigail had
finished her housework at 0 o'clock
and taken her sewing out to tho front
porch. She could see Hannah Payne
rocking to and fro on the next porch,
but neither woman could see beyond
the low hanging branches of the mul
berry tree.
All at once there was tho sound of
drum nnd fife and n distant murmur
of voices from the street. Abigail rec
ollected that a small circus was to pa
rade that morning, and in the evening
there was to bo a performance in a
tent on the village green. Abigail was
a Baptist and did not dream of going
to the circus, but nannnh Payne
would go. Hannah was a Baptist, as
were her forefathers, but they nil
went to the circus.
It was rather lonely there on Abi
gail's porch. Tho honeysuckle vinos
screcued it well, and there was no
sign of life except tho frenzied dart
ing of a ruby throated humming bird
among the flower trumpets, the bu;'.
zing of bees and now the sound of
approaching music.
If Abigail Hodson had not been so
proud she would have tossed aside her
sewing and hastened to the front gate,
from which point she might have look
ed down the lane and watched the cir
cus parade go along tho main street.
But she did not stir. If she had Han
nah Payne would know that Abigail
was suffering inconvenlenco from the
obscuring mulberry tree, and that
would give Hannah Payno a chance to
laugh at her one timo friend, and that
privllego nnd advantage Abigail Hod-
sou would not permit.
Abigail Hodson snapped a needle
and tossed the broken pieces Into tho
grass. "I wish I could cut that old
tree down," sho muttered, not know
ing that tho same uuspoken wish was
in Hannah's heart, not realizing that
her anger against tho tree was stim
ulated by tho feud it hnd caused much
more than by tho lost view of the vil
lage street.
"I wish I could cut tho old tree
flown," repeated Abigail again and
again, and with each repetition of the
tleslro there grow upon her the convic
tion that tho tree must bo cut down or
things would never bo right for her in
tho world.
Sho sat out on tho porch until sunset
and then went in and prepared supper,
but sho did not cat any. After supper
she went out and sat in the gathering
gloom of the porch. Sho saw Hannah
Payne go awny dressed in a white
cown. and she know that Hannah was
going to tho circus. Abigail's bitter
ness increased. Sho yearned to go to
tho circus herself.
At last, when darkness settled over
Green lane and tho cricket orchestra
wns in full swing, Abigail nrose with
a detormlti4 air nnd walked around
her houso to tho woodshed. Thero
were no other houses lu Green lane,
nnd she had tho quiet llttlo place to
herself. Deliberately sho choso a
hatchet from tho several that were
ranged along tho wall and In tho dark
ness tried Its edge with her thumb.
Satisfied, sho went out Into tho lane
and gained Hannah Payno's front yard.
Under the mulberry trco It wns very
dark, and Abigail knelt down nnd rnn
her fingers around tho trunk until she
found a placo where she knew tho bark
was rough and scarred. A horse had
nibbled tho trunk when the tree had
been a mere sapling.
Then, to tho music of the circus band
playing down on the green, Abigail
Hodson smoto tho mulberry tree blow
after blow on tho rough scarred place.
The hatchet was sharp, and her thin,
wiry arms were strong, and tho blade
bit deep into the tree. A brisk north
west wind wns blowing, and Abigail
had barely reached tho heart of tho
tree when a hard gust came. There
was a splitting, crackling sound, nnd
sho had scarcely reached a place of
safety before tho mulberry tree crash
ed down, Breaking tho fence in its fall.
As if suddenly Impressed by tho grav
ity of the deed she had committed, Abi
gail Hodson 'stood for several moments
as if stunned. Then with n frightened
glance around her she picked up her
skirts and scudded homo again. No
guilty murderer could have cleaned tho
telltale Instrument more carefully than
did Abigail her hatchet after the fall
of the tree.
Then sho hastily changed her dress,
locked her houso and ran down Green
lane. Five minutes afterward sho en
tered tho circus tent. Yes, for tho first
time in her life Abigail Hodson wont
to a circus.
nannah Payne saw her and nearly
tumbled off her narrow seat. Sho
crushed tho bag of peanuts she had
been consuming Into her pocket and
crnncd her nock to see where her erst
while friend would sit. Abigail took a
scat directly opposite nannah Payne.
All the people stared very hard when
Abigail came Into the tent, because
they know that her father and her
grandfather hnd disapproved of cir
cuses, and when tho Hodsons disap
proved of anything their stubbornness
was quite as remarkable ns that of the
Paynes.
Abigail Hodson broke all precedents
by entering tho tent, and there was lit
tle doubt that her fellow church mem
bers would require an explanation. In
tho meantime she must enjoy it if sue
could, for never again would she have
the inspiration, provocation, despera
tion call it what you will sufficient to
sustain her during such n trying ordeal.
Such was her excitement concerning
tho mulberry trco that sho did not cn
1ov the circus at all. The clowns ap
peared silly, tho horses old nnd decrepit
compared to the graceful animals de
pleted on the billboards; tho lonely ele
phant looked muddy and ancient be
yond all belief; the performing dogs
were foolishly self conceited. This was
Abigail's estimate of her first circus.
When It was over sho crowded for
ward to make her escape from friends
and acquaintances who might have
seen her there and asked embarrassing
questions. Sho was almost the first
one to leave the tent, and sho sped
away down tho street with feet that
barely touched the ground. Sho made
up her mind that Hannah would guess
who had committed tho deed, and she,
Abigail, would not deny It. Sho would.
stoutly maintain that the tree wns a
nuisance a public nuisance nnd if
Hannah Payno wnntcd to begin a suit
against her sho could have the papers
served at any instant.
By this time Abigail had reached
Green lane and was tolling up its
steep incline. Ahead of her in the
darkness she could see tho darker bulk
of tho fallen trco, and ns she reached It
she hesitated. Behind her thero came
hurried footsteps those of Hannah
but Abigail was rooted to tho spot. She
could not move an Inch, no matter what
happened.
Hannah Payne's voice came in ml
vanco of her sparo figure. "That you,
Abigail Hodson?" she queried sharply.
"Yes," sho said dully.
"What's the matter? I know some
thing awful has happened; if there
hadn't you wouldn't have been nt the
circus! What's tho matter?" panted
Hannah, approaching.
"You can get tho sheriff!" moaned
Abigail.
"What's the matter? What's that?
almost screamed Hauunh Payne, point
ing to tho fallen tree.
"I cut down your mulberry tree. You
better go get tho sheriff," persisted
Abigail faintly.
"Good Lord, Ahby, I never wns so
thankful for anything in nil my born
days!" ejaculated Hannah Payne. "I
would have done it myself only tho
Payne streak In mo wouldn't give in
Good riddance, I say, even if the fence
is broke. I was thinking I'd take it
down, anyway, and tho one between
our houses. It would make 0110 nice
big yard and seem more friendly."
nannah wns talking fast to hide her
ttnbnrrassment and delight.
"I shall like that," half sobbed Abl
gall, and then sho gently fainted nwny
on Hannah Payne's strong shoulder,
As nannah Payne half led, half car
ried tho unconscious form of her friend
Into tho houso sho felt a return of tho
ld masterful feeling that had mark
ed all their association in the past. "I
don't know what would become of
you, Abigail Hodson, it I wasn't hero
to look out for you," sho muttered
happily, nnd then her Hps brushed the
cheek of her restored friend.
HARRISBURG LETTER
To Aslc Aid for Tuberculosis Work.
What la bolloved to bo ono of tho
most Important pieces of tubercu
losis legislation that has ncen
brought forward in recent years, is
a bill which is about to bo Intro
duced to the present session of the
Pennsylvania Legislature on behalf
of the Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
This bill provides for the estab
lishment by counties or groups of
counties, of tuberculosis hospitals.
The act Is not compulsory. It reads
that on petition of flvo per cent, of
tho voters in any county or group of
counties, the question of tho estab
lishment of a tuberculosis hospital
bo submitted to a voto at the next
general election in tho county or
counties affected. The vote for the
hospital carries with It a voto for a
bond Issue to bo used for securing
a site and dwelling.
The management of tho hospital Is
placed In the hands of a board of
five directors, one of whom shall Tjo
a woman and two of whom shall be
reputable physicians. The Board
is appointed by the Governor, who
may receive nominations from per
sons In the county affected. The
bill has been Introduced in order to
prevent tho spread of tuberculosis
by dying and bedridden consump
tives. " The great problem in tho pre
vention of tuberculosis," said Karl
do Schwelnltz, Executive Secretary
of tho Pennsylvania Society for tho
Prevention of Tuberculosis yester
day, "is the dying and bedridden
consumptive. Ho is weaker than a
typhoid fever patient. He is scatter
ing literally millions of germs and
ho is too sick to prevent them from
Infecting his family. Ho needs con
stant nursing tho kind of nursing
that the wife who 'must work for
money to take tho placo of her hus
band's earnings cannot give.
Such a consumptive may be bed
ridden for a period of from three
months to a year, and all this time
he Is 'filling 'his home with the
germs of his disease. Remove this
source of contagion from our midst
and tuberculosis will .be reduced to
minimum.
" But patients in these advanced
stages of consumption will not
leave their homes to go to sanatoria
at a distance. As a matter of fact
they are too weak to travel far. The
only feasible way of treating them
is In hospitals where they can be
near their families.
" Tho legislatures of New York,
New Jersey, 'Massachusetts, Wiscon
sin and Missouri have enacted laws
enabling their counties to establish
such 'hospitals.
" In Pennsylvania the only local
care afforded to the bedridden con
sumptive who has neither money
nor strength to travel one or two
hundred miles is In tho almshouse
and no self-respecting man or wom
an wants to be classed as a pauper
and lodged In a poorhouso simply
because he or sho is sick. That lo
cal hospitals are needed Is shown
by the fact that wherever thero are
such Institutions, they have always
been filled.
" Such hospitals 'make tho last
days of the dying consumptive com
fortable, relieve the wives and the
families of the proper patients from
tho Impossible burden of caring for
their sick, and protect relatives,
friends, neighbors and others from a
prolific source of contagion.
" It Is In recognition of these
facts that the tuberculosis hospital
act has been drawn. This hill gives
the counties of Pennsylvania tho
right to establish tuberculosis hos
pitals If they so desire. It is not
compulsory. It simply grants the
people a privilege of which they are
In great need.
Harrlsburg, Jan. 27. Members
of tho present Legislature who are
interested in the proposition to put
the road building campaign in
Pennsylvania on a substantial basis,
say that the suggestion offered at
a conference of Grangers here last
week, that an additional mill of
taxation bo levied on corporations
does not offer tho best solution of
the problem, for several reasons.
Admitting that such a tax would
produce $S, 000, 000 a year revenue,
which Is as much as tho State High
way Department could intelligently
expend in its building campaign, ex
perienced legislators say it would
be Impossible to hold that money
for road making, because tho assur
ance of such an Increase of revonuo
would flood the Senate and House
with demands for more money for
local charities and other purposes.
Legislatures In the past liavo In
variably appropriated more money
than was available out of the reve
nues, leaving tho Governor to pare
down tho expenditures to meot tho
income.
Another argument against tho tax
method is that the corporations
would undoubtedly mako a hard
fight against such a levy, on the
ground that they are already con
tributing tho bulk of tho Stato rev
enue, as admitted by Secretary Jer
ome T. Ailman of tho State Grange
this week. Tho thing could bo put
through only after a long and hard
fight, and the possibility of defeat
at tho end of tho session would put
the whole good roads program in
jeopardy. It Is pointed out that
anyway a tax on a corporation Is
only an indirect way of taxing the
people, as tho corporations meet
such things by making tho consumer
pay more for their products.
Tho Pennsylvania Motor Feder
ation and other advocates of good
roads take the position that tho best
feature of the proposition to finance
tho building of main stato roads by
a $50,000,000 bond Issue is that It
removes tho whole road building
enterprise beyond tho range of tho
Stato revenues which are so readily
snatched away for other purposes,
and provides an adequate supply of
money that cannot be expended for
anything except the construction of
highways between the cities and
towns of tho State.
Furthermore, the element of time
enters into tho question. Tho reso
lution for an amendment to the
Constitution to permit of a $50,-
000,000 loan for road building has
already passed one legislature unani
mously, and If put through the pres
ent session at an early date can bo
submitted to the people In time to
have tho necessary enabling act
passed before the adjournment of
the session nqw under way. Thus
tho money would become available
this year. No scheme of Increased
taxes would produce any appreciable
returns to tho State Treasury for a
year or more, so that highway con
struction could not be started before
the summer of '1914.
Tho Impression hero is that the
Legislature will not listen to any
substitute proposition, nut will put
through without delay the Constitu
tional amendment .for a bond Issue.
I FEED THE BUtDS THIS WINTER.
Harrlsburg, Jan. 25.
Dear Editor:
I write you to-day relatlvo to the
feeding of our wild birds and hope
you may see your way to a publica
tion of this appeal.
Winter, with all that It means, has
come. Bod White has run the
gauntlet .between long lines of ene
mies, and Is now called upon to face
the worst of all starvation. He
may bo in good ehapo today, but
soon the snows will have shortened
his good supply, reducing his vl
tallty, so that when the cold rains
begin ho will not be disposed to ven
ture out for tho first twenty-four
hours, even though his stomach be
nearly empty, but will sit huddled
with his friends in some point of
shelter until tho first day Is past,
and then on tho second day, driven
by hunger, ho faces the storm, se
curing no more food perhaps than
before tho rain began; and then
with every feather dripping, chilled
to tho bone, with an empty stomach,
and still more greatly reduced vi
tality, ho huddles with his little
family, for the last time, to die, to
freeze, or to be smothered by the
drifting snows. His entire pathway
along Life's journey is marked only
by good deeds to men. Wont you,
who may read this, try to help him
In this his hour of distress and need?
You are perhaps wasting every hour
more than enough to keep Bob and
his entire family in food the year
around. I beg of you to hunt him
up and scatter feed where 'ho can get
it. Ono bushel of grain placed
where he can Hnd it means more
to him now than does all the kind
words that may be uttered In a cen
tury. Put yourself In Bob's place
and think of what winter means to
him.
What applies to the quail, may
also .be said of the wild turkey, and
all out winter birds. I beg of you,
no matter what your position in life
may bo, to help feed the birds. If
you can not do the work yourself,
get some one to do it for you.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH KALBFUS,
Secretary, Gamo Commission.
DRESSING 1JY THE THERMOME
TER. Unchangeable clothes, not tho
changeablo weather, are responsible
for much of the grippe and many of
tho colds that are prevalent just
now. If people would use judgment
In tho way they dress, they would
not bo obliged to worry about every
rise or fall of the temperature.
Suit your clothing to the weather.
If you perspire in an overcoat on a
warm day it is likely that you will
be chilly tho next day in the same
overcoat If the thermometer drops
towards zero. If it Is moderate, do
not put on your overcoat. Then
when it gets colder you will be able
to enjoy the effect of extra clothing.
When you go Into a heated train,
take your overcoat off. If you are
obliged to stay in a warm office even
for a short time, do not keep your
overcoat on. The temperature in
doors remains about tho same all the
year round. Therefore, the extra
warmth is not needed. Don't wear
heavy underclothes. It is more im
portant to pay attention to the kind
of overcoat you put on than to use
the heaviest underwear in tho mar
ket. Do not wear zero clothing in a
70-degree temperature, for tho heav
ier clothes will do you llttlo good
when the temperature falls. Com
mon sense in dress will save many
doctors' hills. Karl de Schwelnltz,

FASHION RUMORS.
Now Things
For tho Spring.
DRAPED OWN OF PRUNE SATIN.
The now spring blouses nro n mark
ed change from winter models. Wo hnve
passed through various stages; wo have
worn white with a veiling, then net In
colors matching tho shirt, nnd last win
ter we arrived at colored slips with net
transparencies In which tho color was
again repeated, though the foundation
produced the kind of effect which we
called fuchsia color and wore with blue
or mauve, the blouse being of cerise
with an overvelling.
This Indicated a change, for fashion
moves along certain lines which expe
rience teaches ono to calculate, and It
was easy to believe that tho frankly
contrasting blouse, making no attempt
to harmonize isclf, would bo next In
succession. And so it has turned out
A little while ago wo thought this
style of dressing hopelessly de mode
and vulgar, but there was a time when
we were attached to it and de
lighted In tho changes it allowed us to
ring on a modest wardrobe. With ono
good black satin skirt and half a dozen
blouses any woman could bo well nnd
economically dressed, and tho idea was
good enough until we ran It to death
nnd got thoroughly sick of it.
Whether smart women will take kind
ly to It again remains to bo seen. The
gown of prune satin illustrated is ono
of the draped spring models which are
both simple nnd elegant.
THE NEW BAGS.
Moire Affair the Latest In These Use
ful Accessories,
The very newest Idea In bags is tho
moire bag. There are all sorts and
shapes of moire bags, ranging from tho
small oblong purses to tho largo bags
elaborately fitted out with mirror and
all the vanity fixings. A handsome
hag in black moire opens very wide, re
vealing at a glance the contents of tho
entire bag. On ono side thero Is u mir
ror resting against the soft white silk
lining and In tho side pockets tho
caidcaso, change purso and other ne
cessities. Such a bag can be purchnsed
for $1S.
A large round bag In black moire is
edged with an Inch plaiting of the
moire. Another very much smaller bag
has a deep pleating of the molro. The
monogram should bo stamped in one
corner and outlined in rhlnestones.
To slip into the muffs thero arc long
oblong purses in molro with tho flexi
ble gold or platinum frames. These
are really n development of the cigar
and clgnrette cases which pleased the
men so hugely two or three years ago.
The molro purses havo the advantage
over tho fur purses of tho samo shapo
in that they can bo carried with the
spring suit. Tho old fashioned reti
cule with tho openings at either end
Is now fashioned in molro and llued
with white silk. These moire ones aro
newer than those in brocades nnd other
eastern stuffs which mndo their ap
pearance lu the fall.
Vogue For Net.
Ono of the latest novelties among tho
lovely laces and tho dainty robes of
broderie Anglalse for tho slender poek
etbook Is the coarse net. Tho ward
robo can have nothing prettier than one
of tho pretty slips of string colored
fisherman's uct nnd lace. Tho coarse
net may bo mounted over n color, but It
Is really smartest when Its foundation
Is of the samo tone, nnd this serves as
a relief for last summer's washed out
gown. Tho trlmmlug must bo n heavy
Venetian or guipure of fillet lace, and
thero may bo n girdle of black or col
ored ribbon.
The Newest Fad.
My lady's now boots aro half black
and half white, tho white portion being
on the outer side of the foot and tho
black aides coming together over tho
ankles. Thero Is no division between
vamp and buttoned upper part, tho
boot being, so to spenkr a "two gore"
model, with seams down tho center
front nud back, and ono goro Is of
black calf and tho other of whlto buck
skin. Tho heels aro whlto and also the
buttons, which run up tho outer side of
tho boot In a otretcht linn.
