"I
T Is pretty."
Mrs. Swan lifted the end of the
long strip of linen which lay
across Althea's lap and looked admir
ingly at the open-work embroidery
with which It was adorned.
Althea smllled aBnent and -went on
snipping and drawing out threads.
It was a hot June afternoon, and, for
the sake of the slight breeze, Althea
had brought her work out on the
porch. For companionship Mrs. Swan
had followed her, and sat nursing her
arms on the top step. Every few mo
ments Mrs. Swan would arise and
hurry Into the kitchen to stir some
thing that was bubbling and boiling
on the stove. Every time she moved
her clean, crisp calico dress rustled.
"Althea," she gapped, aa she sank
down and wiped her face on her apron
after one of these hurried Journeys to
the hot kitchen, "Althea. I'm going to
ask a queer favor of you."
"Yes?" questioned Althea, In sur
prised Interest. She had never known
Mrs. Swan to ask a favor of any one.
"I want you to loan me a dollar."
Mrs. Swan made the request with evi
dent reluctance. She went on quickly
before Althea could reply, "You c'n
take it out of your board money."
"Why, certainly," said Althea, In
amazement, "I owe you morethnn that.
I can let you have more than that. I
wish you "
"No," Interrupted Mrs. Swan, "one
dollar Is all I shall need. I want to get
a piece of linen like this. I want to
make my sister Sue a bureau scarf
for a birthday present."
Mrs. 8wan smoothed theBhlmmerlng
surface of the linen with careselng fin
gers. "Long's haven't the right kind.
I want the dollar to go to Went's and
get a piece Just like this."
I (Althea drew out a long shining
i thread and wound It around her hand.
"I know you think It strange that I
should ask you for the money Instead
of Hiram," continued Mrs. Swan, look
ing suspiciously into Althea's face for
some sign of inqulsltlveness. But Al
thea bent placidly over her work.
"I did ask Hiram for It last nlht.
But Instead of giving me what I
wanted, what do you suppose he did?"
' Althea bit off a thread and made a
slight negative motion of her head.
She knew Mrs. Swan's peculiarities too
well to risk a verbal reply. A word,
especially the wrong word, might have
disastrous results.
"He took a piece of money out of his
pocket, laid It on the corner of the
mantel and went off to bed without
saying a word. This morning when I
looked at the money I saw that it was
a $20 gold piece. I thought of course
that Hiram had made a mistake; you
know a 120 gold piece and a silver dol
lar are about tne same size and heft,
and M Is rather dark in the room; for,
since daylight lasts so long we hardly
ever have a light. But at noon when
I asked him about it, he said no. It
waa all right; he hadn't made any mis
take, and kind of grinned, and that
waa all I could get out of him."
Mrs. Swan paused and Althea knew
that some response was expected from
her. A person unacquainted with the
Intricacies of Mrs. Swan's mind would
have' been sure to blunder. Althea
might have been consumed with curi
osity as to what happened next, but
he only threaded her needle with
great deliberation and remarked casu
ally: "Well?"
What actually did happen made Al
thea catch her breath and shrink away
from Mrs. Swan aa If ber friend had
truck ber,
"It's Just Hiram's meanness!" ex
Claimed Mrs. Swan, bitterly. "And It's
just ltke him. He thought It was fool
ish extravagance in me getting the
linen. He thought if he gave me one
dollar I would spend it for something
'that didn't amount to anything, but if
be gave me twenty dollars I would put
It in the bank and save it Save, save;
I get sick and tired of saving."
AUhea's eyes sparkled with lndlgna-
tlon'at what she thought to be an un-
Just accusation. She opened her lips
to speak, but thought better of it and
closed them again.
Mrs. Swan, blind to everything but
her own grievance, went on with ber
tirade. "It's just stinginess. He knew
I wouldn't break into a $20 gold piece
Just to get a little piece of linen. It
wouldn't be over 60 cents, and I
counted on getting the thread besides
with the dollar. I've earn '
A loud busing sound, mingled with
the odor of burning fruit Juice, came
from the kitchen, warning Mrs. Swan
that ber supper noeded Immediate at
tention.
Althea heard her lift a basin from
the stove, empty the contents, and
carry them to the ice-box. It was
tewed cherries, and the delicious
plcy odor filled the air.
When she came back Mrs. Swan
eemed a little aahamed of her anger,
She tat silently gazing at the horizon
for a few moments with haunted, burn
ing eyes. When she spoke gain It was
with moderation.
"Now I've made such a fool of my
self," she said, "I suppose I might
aa well tell you the wbolo story aa to
the way Hiram and I fell out on money
matter , .It began five years .ago last
spring, when we built this house. Bee
that wire ferffce out there by the aide
of the barn?"
Althea waa well aware of the exist
ence of that fence. She skirted It twice
dally on ber way to ano from school
and more than one rent In gown and
Jacket testified not only to lU exist-
ence, but to the sharpness and tenacity
of Its barbs.
"Well," continued Mrs. fiwan, "the
spring we built thlB house the 40 acres
of land enclosed jy that fence was for
sale. Hiram wanted to buy It, but I
wanted to build a house. We had
money enough to do one of these
things, but not enough for both. Hiram
thought the house might wait a year,
but if we didn't buy the land at once
Rube Thornton would.
I had my heart set on the house.
The old shanty that we'd lived in ever
since we kept house wasn't fit to house
cattle In. It was leaky and dirty, and
the walls were full of mice and roaches
and bugs unmentionable. I didn't feel
aa if I could live In it another year.
So we built, and before the summer
was out Rube bought the land and run
was out Rube bought the land asd run
his line fence within ten feet of ;y
barn door. I
Hiram was mnd, nnd, of course,
blnmed me; although the next year,
when we got ready to buy, we got bet
ter land for less money on the other
side good smooth farm land, while
while Rube's 40 will never be fit for
anything but pasture. But, somehow,
the site of that fence so near has al
ways seemed to rile Hiram.
1 said then that I d never ask him
for another thing that I could possibly
get along without, ano I never have
until I asked him for that dollar last
night. I've paid for all that we've
eaten and most that we've had to wear
with butter and poultry, and I'm six
months abend at Long's now."
Mrs. Swan rested her chin In her
hand and relapsed Into a moody si
lence. Althea folded her work and
went up-stalrs to get the money. A
great many things that had puzzled
her before were made plain by Mrs.
Swan's confidence. Kr-n had often
wondered why Mr. and Mrs. Swan
treated each other with such studied
coldness. She had also wondered at
the meager furmsnlngs of the house.
The bouse Itself was a handsome and
commodious farm-house, but the fur
niture was the same that had been
used In the old log shanty. And Mrs.
Swan loved pretty things.
Althea liked both Mr. and Mrs.
Swan. In the eight months that she
had made her home with them she
had, In spite of i.irs. Swan's peculiari
ties, come to esteem them highly. Mr.
Swan as director of the school district
in which she had taught, had especial
ly won her respect.
He had seemed to ber almost an
ideal officer, entering heartily Into all
her schemes for the improvement of
the school, and showing no sign of the
parsimony of which his wife accused
blm.
As Althea opened a drawer to get
her purse, a photograph lying face up
wards confronted her. She lifted the
velvet case and looked long into the
pictured face. The clear eyes seemed
to gaze back at her with a new signifi
cance. It waa Hugh, dear Hugh, who was
working so bard and so patiently to
prepare the little home for her com
ing. Althea saw the dear face through
the mist of an almost overwhelming
desire to see blm at once. She wanted
to lay her arm around his neck and
listen to his heart beat, while they
made their vows all over again.
Would they, could she and Hugh
ever come to be to each other what Mr.
and Mrs. Swan were? The suggestion
was altogether abhorrent to Althea.
She had not presumed to hope that
their united lives could be all sun
shine; sickness would come, and
troubles and worries common to hu
mankind; aye, even death Itself might
for a time separate them. But not this
other
Althea laid the little picture down
on the bureau and bowed her face upon
it "Not that,' she murmured; "oh,
anything but that" It waa almost a
prayer.
Althea walked slowly down stairs
and laid the dollar in Mrs. Swan's
band.
"I guess Hiram's afraid we'll all die
in the poorhouse," Mrs. Swan re'
marked facetiously, aa Althea re
sumed her work.
But Althea could not make a Jest of
it. To her it was a very serious mat
ter. She tried to see her own future
from Mrs. Swan's point of view and it
frightened her. Sho looked up quickly,
almost defiantly. Sho must speak
"Mrs. Swan, you are mistaken. Your
husband want's you to have that $20
gold piece." Althea's voice was very
Etern.
"Wha-wha-at did you say?" gasped
Mrs. Swan.
"He wants you to have that money
for your very own. He's sorry that he
was cross with you about the boune.
and he wants to make it up in some
way. Oh, Mrs. Swan, please forgive me
for speaking. But you have all been so
kind to me, and I cannot bear to see
you misunderstand each other In this
cruel manner."
Althea waa getting Incoherent The
Instant the words bad left ber lips
the would have given worlds to have
recalled them. Mrs. Swan waa very
angry. Her Hps were set in a straight
line, and Althea was conscious-stricken
at the effect of ber Interference, She
knelt on the floor and slipped ber
arms around Mrs. Swan's waist.
"Please forgive me," she pleaded. "I
know that Mr. Swan meant for you to
have the $20 gold piece to do with as
you Hue. He didn't sayvjo because he
didn't know bow to come at it; men
are such proud, stupid creatures. He
wouldn't car one bit If yon spent I
every cent of It tor bureau scarfs."
Althea laughed a little nervous laugh
at her own absurd suggestion, and the
awful lines about Mrs. Swan's Hps re
laxed a little. Althea's hopes arose.
After a long pause, during which
Mrs. Swan seemed swayed between the
two extremes of anger and remorse,
she said abruptly: "But $20 Is a great
deal of money. What could I do with
so much?"
Althea felt that the battle was won.
If she could only be discreet now all
would be well. To say the right thing
In the right way was what she must
do. The $20 gold piece was a peace
offering, and the success of Its mission
depended upon herself. Wellington
marshaling his hosts at Waterloo was
not more circumspect than she.
"Oh, you can get rid of it." she sal4
brightly, "never fear aa to that part of
It" She picked up her work, and went
on in the most matter-of-fact tone.
"You can get your linen for one thing,
and you can get one of those gingham
dress patterns that you thought s4
pretty. Then you might make Mr.
Swan a present of an arm-chair with
part of It. Hasn't he a birthday or aa
anniversary of some Sort coming soon
th: vou can remind him of in this
way?"
Mrs. Swan vouchsafed no reply t
these bold suggestions. She sat stiff,
and unyielding, but Althea saw that
she was Interested in spite of herself,
and went bravely on.
"You ought to subscribe for a couple
of good periodicals for Rob. He needs
them. It would help keep him away
from the saw mill. Haven't you no
ticed that he never goes the evenings
my magazine comes?"
This last was a very adroit move on
Althea's part Mrs. Swan's life waa
made burdensome a great share of the
time by her only son's predilection for
haunting the dnugeroils neighborhood
of the saw mill, and by his association
with more or less disreputable char
acters who freauented the mill.
"Then there Is always the flbrnry
fund," went on Althea gayly. "You
can give a dollar to that. I had
planned to solicit 60 cents from each
family. But to help you dispose ofthls
troublesome $20 gold piece, I will let
you give more. Then with the vast
sum which we expect to realize from
our grand last-day entertainment, we
will be quite rich."
Althea had planned to close her
career as a district schoolteacher by
laying the foundation of a library in
the Swan district. And lightly aa she
spoke of the project its success was
very near her heart
"Well," admitted Mrs. Swan, after
another prolonged silence, during
which Althea vacillated between hope
and despair, "maybe I have been stub
born and blind. If I have, I've been
well punished for it I'm going to
think It over. Anyway, Althea, you're
a good girl." And Althea was more
than satisfied with this meager ad
mission of Mrs. Swan's forgiveness.
For three days Mrs. Swan went about
her work with the Jerky abstraction of
one Inwardly perturbed. Every morn
ing when Althea came down to break
fast she cast a surreptitious glance at
the corner of the mantel where the $20
gold piece lay in serene purity of
metal. '
On the fourth morning she caught
her breath with a little gasp of ner
vous uncertainty when she saw that
the yellow disc was gone.
Mrs. Swan was cutting thin slices of
ham for Althea's lunch. She glanced
quickly at Althea when she came into
the room. Her cheeks were quite
pink, and ber eyes were suffused with
a new, soft light
Next Tuesday's our wedding anni
versary," she said In a low, joyous
tone. "We've been married Just 15
years. I'm going to get Hiram one of
those arm-chairs at Duffey's. I'll hitch
up and come along by the schoolhouse
this afternoon about 4 o'clock, and you
can como along and help pick It out
Which do you suppose he'd like best,
the leather or the pluBh?"
"The leather, of course, you dear
little woman," said Althea, as she
walked around the table and kissed
Mrs. Swan on the forehead. The La

Every one will recall the Aesoplo
story of the Hon and the mouse; how
the life of the mighty monarch was
saved by the small creature whom ha
once had spared, says George S. Hill
man In the Atlantic To our recogni
tion in this story of a truth universal
in Its human application Is due, al
most entirely, our Interest In the
mouso and the lion. In our eyes they
aro not a mouso and a lion, but two
men teaching the lessons that the
mighty shall be humbled, tbnt nothing
is too Insignificant to be of some ser
vice, and that it Is good to cast bread
upon the waters. We do not stop to
consider whether a lion understands
the mouse language, or whether a
mouse Is given to, gratitude. They are
merely convenient forms, essentially
human, and they show animal char
acteristics only very secondarily,
when at all. In the Indian tale
where animals figure as chief charac
ters, the method is the same, though
there Is often the added purpose of
doctrinal instruction, feasible because
of the Buddhistic belief in the trans
migration of men's souls into the
bodies of beasts. The Bible shows a
similar uso; and perhans in all litera
ture there is not a nobler Instance of
the Introduction of animals to teach
ethical truth than is to be found in the
parable of the lost sheep.
