You remember that old story we used to love when we went to school? Many a Sunday came near catching me with a needle in my hand.” She laughed softly. “But now it ie different. Jack has a wife to darn his stockings, Lelia darns her own, and Lloyd won't wear darned stock- ings, anyway. Complains his feet are tender. So I have only my Warren's and my own.” “I hate to darn stockings,” said Mrs. Fancher. Martha clipped off a thread expert- ly. “Well, I've hated a good many Still, hating doesn’t give you an excuse for not do- ing them.” She proceeded to put a beautiful darn in her youngest son’s sock, After Mrs. Fancher had returned home Martha sat thinking about the past as she emptied her work-basket. She had married at seventeen to es- cape from her father's new wife, a harsh, coarse woman, who, in addition | to her newly acquired family, had three children of her own. Warren Wells had loved her and though he had been poor he gave her a peaceful shelter and protection. In time she had learned to love him dearly. He had died when her oldest son was twelve. There had been four children and little enough to support them on. Until Jack was eighteen she had known great poverty, but because she had the wit that turns even a cheap soupbone into a porterhouse and mush- room meal her children had not suf- fered nor her neighbors suspected. Her children had that same wit in- herited from her, and soon Jack and Lelia and Lloyd were doing for them- selves and helping her a bit with War- ren, the youngest. Now she and War- ren were alone and they were both living comfortably on Warren's salary. A slender woman, with white threads in her black hair, direct-gazing dark eves and thin red lips wae Martha. Life had faded her, repressed her, numbed her impulses and cooled her ambitions, “May be I would do better if I had it all to do over again—and may be I wouldn't do so well,” she summed up. She was stirring up biscuit for syp- per when Warren came home a bit earlier than usual. Warren was twen- ty-two, a fine, handsome young fellow. He leaned against the kitchen cabinet and watched his mother reflectively. Martha looked up at him, reading his face with her keen mother eyes, “What is it, son? Out with it.” Warren flushed. “I'm engaged to Helen Dodge,” he said. For an instant arrested. The dropped from her capable fingers. Warren engaged! Her baby boy! Well, it was natural, and Helen was a nice girl. Jack had married at the same age. Lelia and Lloyd, the twins, had been gone a long time in the city, where they lived single lives in the business world, Lelia as private secre- Lloyd as a business manager. But Warren She smiled to Martha's motions biscuit-cutter They did not need her. “I congratulate you, son. When shall you bring her home?” “We're going to be married soon. I can’t wait long for Helen. You don't mind, mother? It will be just the same for you after she comes, you know, except that we'll be happier.” “Sure.” Martha reached wp her face. He kissed her, fondled her a bit. “Now run away. You're holding up the process of supper-getting.” Helen was coming soon! Warren did not know what that would mean to his mother. Helen would be mis- tress of the house. She would simply have to step down and out. She glanced about the neat kitchen, Of course, Warren had supplied the house and everything in it. She really was only his housekeeper until Helen ar- rived. She whistled all the time the bis- cuits were baking and the steak broil- ing. She was a good cook, none bet- ter. But she knew that Helen had been particularly well trained. Helen wouldn't need to learn from her. Oh, well! She could always go visiting. | Wasn't that what old women always did when they were no longer useful at home—go visiting? “But I am not an old woman yet, her heart shrieked fiercely. After supper Warren went to spend the evening with his fiancee and Mrs. Fancher came in for her second visit that day. Being an old friend as well as a next-door neighbor, Mrs. Fancher came whenever she pleased, always sure of hearty welcome. “l hear Warren and Helen are en- gaged,” she “Helen’s mother said. “I'm pleased, too,” Martha returned, diving into her mending basket, still full of Warren's socks. Naturally Helen would want to darn his socks herself. Without doubt Warren would no longer need her tender mothering. “I suppose you'll all live together?” Mrs. Fancher queried. “Oh, yes! Of course it will give me a chance to do some visiting, I shall go to see Jack and my twins—" “Oh, visiting!” said Mrs. Fancher. “I know what that is. I tried it after my husband died—visiting round on my children. But I was mighty glad I had kept my old home for myself. Martha smiled. Mrs, Fancher had money. She had none. Again Mrs. Fancher returned home and Martha was left alone with her mending basket. Tears began to roll down her face, She wiped them away with Warren's sock. Suddenly she hid her face in the thing. “I'm afraid I am started on a regu- lar boo-hoo!” she told herself. She heard somebody fumbling at the doorknob and started erect. She wiped her eyes hastily and was ready with her smile when the door opened and her visitor entered. It was Leila, her daughter! Leila, slim and chic, in black and white, car- rying a smart over-night bag. “l ran away,” Leila said. “I just had to get down here to see you. Be- sides, Lloyd wanted me to come. Mother, we've made up our minds that we need you just as much as Warren does. It isn’t fair for him to have you all the while. You ought to be ours part of the time.” “What do you mean?’ Martha asked. They hadn’t heard then that Warren was going to be married. “Lloyd is sick of boarding and I am tired of the room-bath-and-kitchen- ette experiment. And, anyway, the girl I have been sharing with is going to be married. So Lloyd and I think we'd like a real home—a nice apart- | That is, | ment of about four rooms. if we can get you to keep house for us. Let Warren board for a while; it won't hurt him to learn to appreciate you as much as we have.” She stopped.

She had so few playmates, and so few opportunities for playing, that she made what she could see through the tenth-story window her compan- ions. Birds, with big black wings, swoop- Ing across the sky; occasionally an airplane, which, for many months, she thought was a giant bird; the tops of trees away down below; the fairy clouds of pink and gold, and, as the twilight hour drew on, the bright electric signs. She learned her letters on the signs that flashed out with the setting of the sun. She could spell rubber, the- ater and a brand of chewing gum be- fore she could spell cat or dog. Not all the letters of the alphabet are flashed on the sky at night, so that she is growing up with an alphabet which is much restricted. She is be- ginning her education in a manner not possible for a child in many cities.— New York Sun, American Rail Mileage The traffic manager of the Pennsyl vania railroad says that our railroad mileage—over 250,000 miles— would more than girdle the earth ten times, It Is greater than the total mileage of all the railways of England, Ire- land, Scotland, Wales, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Bel- gium, Sweden, Switzerland, Argen- tina, Japan, Australia and South Af- rica. The balance still remaining is more than twice that of China.
