stones now reminded me only of the
innumerable host of the dead. Softly

down into the silence that followed
the strange story.
The old man rose and straightened
e himself and blew out his breath and
brushed his hands upon his trousers
by way of stepping down into this
world again out of the close and dusty
loft of his memory. But I called him
back.
"What has become of Enoch?" I

together in silence. Dimly above a
distant ridge I could see stiark dead
timber looming on a scarlet cloud in
the twilight. It is curibus ;how care-
fully one notes the setting of the
scene in which his spirit has been
deeply stirred.
I could see a glimmer of a light in
the thickest of pines down the val-
ley. I unhitched and mounted my
horse.
"Take the first turn to the right,"
said the old man as he picked up his
scythe.
"I'm very much obliged to you," I
said.
"No ye ain't, nuther," he answered.

ye should be."
My horse, impatient as ever to find
the end of the road, hurried me along
and in a moment or two we were
,down Wider the pine grove that sur-
rounded the house Of old- Squire Ful-
lerton---sa big, stone house With a
graveled- road 'around it A great
black dog came barking and growling
at me from the front porch. I rode
around the house and he followed.
Beyond the windows I could see the
gleam of candle -light and moving
figures.: A man came out of the back
door as I neared it.
"Who's there?" he demanded,
"My name is Barton Baynes from
St Lawrence County. Kate Fuller-
ton is ray friend/ and I wish to see
her."
"Come up to the steps, sor. Don't
git off yer horse --"til I've chained the
dog. Kate'll be out in a minute."
He chained the dog to the hitching
post and as he did so a loud, long,
wailing cry broke the eilence of the
huuse. It put me in mind of the
complaint of the damned which 'I re-
membered hearing the minister des-
cribe years before at the little school-
house in Lickitysplit. How it har-
rowed me!
The man went into the house. Soon
he came out of the door with a light-
ed candle in his hand, a little mur-
mur of delight that came from her
lips when he held the candle so that
it3' light fell upon my face! I jump-
ed off my horse and gave the reins to
the man and put my arms around
the poi
woman, whom I loved for
her eo ws and for my debt to her,
and rai d kisses upon her withered
cheek. Oh God! what a moment it
was for both of us!
The way she held me to her breast
and patted my shoulder and said "my
boy!" -in a low, faint, treble voice so
like that of a child -it is one of the
best memories that I take with me
into the new life now so near, from
which there is no returning.
'"My boy!'" Did it mean that she
had appointed me to be a kind of
proxy for the one she had lost and
that she had given to me the affection
which God had stored in her heart
for him? Of that, I know only what
may be conveyed by strong but un-
spoken assurance.
She led me into the house. She
looked very neat now -in a black
gown over which was a spotless white
apron and collar of lace. -and much
more slender than when I had seen
her last. She took me into a large
room in the front of the house with
a carpet and furniture, handsome
once but now worn and decrepit. Old
time -stained engravings of scenes
from the Bible, framed in wood, hung
on the walls.
She gave me a chair by the candle -
stand and sat near me and looked in-
to my face with a smile of satisfac-
tion. In a moment she pointed t) -
ward the west with that forefinger,
which in my presence had cut down
her enemy, and whispered the on3
word
'News ?"
I told ail that I had heard from
eome and of my life in Cobleskill but
observed, presently, a faraway look
in her eyes and judged that ordie was
not hearing me. Again she whisper-
ed:
"Sally?"
"She has been at school in Albany
fer a year," I said. "She is at home
row and I am going to see her.
"You love Sally?" she whispered.
"Better than I love my life."
Again she whispered: "Get mar-
ried!"
"We hope to in 1844. I have agreed
to meet her by the big pine tree on
the river bank at eleven o'clock the
third of June, 1844. We are looking
forward to that day."
A kind of shadow seemed to come
out of her spirit and rest upon her
face+ and for a moment she looked
very solemn. I suppose that she di-
vined the meaning of all that, She
shook her head and whispered:
"Money thirst!"
A tall, slim woman entered the
room then and said that supper was
ready. Kate rose with a smile and
I followed her into the dining room
where two tables were spread. One
had certain dishes on it and a white
cover, frayed and worn. She left me
to the other table which was neatly
covered with snowy linen. The tall
woman served a supper on deep, blue
china, cooked as .only they could cook
in old New England. Meanwhile I
ould hear the voice of the aged
squire -a weird, empty, inhuman
voice it was, utterly cut off from his
intelligence. It came out of the trou-
bled depths of his misery.
So that house -the scene of his
great sin which would presently lie
down with him in the dust-wns
flooded, a hundred times a day, by
the unhappy spirit of its master. In
the dead of the night I heard its de-
spair echoing through the Silent
chambers.
Kate said little as we ate, or as we
sat together in the shabby, great
room after supper, but she seemed to
enjoy my talk and I went into the
details of. my personal history. How
those years of suffering and silence
had warped her soul and body in a
way of speaking! They were a poor
fit in any company now. Her tongue
had loat its taste for speech I doubt
not; her voice was gone, although I
had heard a low plaintive murmur in
the words "my boy."
The look of her face, even while I
wee speaking, indicated that her
thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the
gloomy desert of her past. I thought
of that gay bird -like youth of hers
of which the old man with the scythe
had told me and wondered. As I was
thinking of this there came a cry
from the aged squire so loud and
doleful that it startled me and I
turned and looked toward the open
door.
Kate rose and came to my side and
leaning toward my ear. whispered:

She took a candle and led me ti

draped in white, stood against a wall
The bed, sheeted in oldlinen, ha

ticeably clean'; its furniture of ol
mahogany and its carpet compare
tively unworn.
When I was undressed I dreaded t

in years I had a kind of child -fear o
the night. But I went to bed at las
and slept rather fitfully, waking of
ten when the cries of the old squire
came flooding through the walls. How
I longed for the light of morning! I
came at last and I rose and dressed
and seeing the hired man in the yard
went out,ofedoors. He was a good
natured Irishman.
"I'm glad o' the sight o' rye this
fine mornin'," said he. "It's a plea-
sure to see any one that has all their
senses -stere it is."
I went with him to the stable yard
where he did his milking and talked
of his long services with the !squire.
"We was glad when he wrote for
Kate to come," he said. 'But, sure, I
don't think it's done him any good.
He's gone wild since she got here. He
was always fond o' his family spite
o' all they say. Did ye see the sec-

same dishes, the same sugar in the
bowi. the seine pickles in the jar. He
was like one o' them big rocks in the
field there -ye couldn't move him
when he put his foot down."
Kate met me at the door when I
went back into the house and kissed
my cheek and again I heard those
half -spoken words, "My boy." I ate
my breakfast with her and when I
was about to get into my saddle at
the door I gave her a hug and, as she
tenderly patted my cheek, a smile
lighted her countenance so that it
seemed to shine upon me. I have
never forgotten its serenity and
sweetness.

him; Grimshaw liked him. He was
always ready to lick the boots o'
t Orimshaw. It turned out that Grim-
shaw left him an annuity of three
thousand dollars, which he can enjoy
- as long as he observes one condition." ,
"What is that?"
"He must not let his daughter

town o' Ballybeen. How is that for
spite, my boy? They say it's writ-

I think that he mubt have seen the
flame of color playing on my face, '
for he quickly added:
Don t worry, lad. The will o'
God is greater than the will o' Grim-
shaw. He made you two for each
other and she will be true to ye, as
true as the needle to the north star."
"Do you think so?"
"Sure I do. Didn't she as much as

a week ago? She loves ye, boy, as
true as God loves ye, an' she's a girl
of a thousand.
"Her fathEr is a bit too fond o'

with him. It has always seemed to
' me that he was afflicted with per-
fection -a camellia mar! -so invari-
ably neat and proper and convention-
al! Such precise and wearisome re-
ctitude! What a relief it would be
to see him in his shirt-sleevee or
with soiled boots or linen or to hear
him say something -well --unexpect-
ed! Six shillings a week to the
chore,' and four to charity, as if that
were the contract --no more, no less!
But did ye ever hear o' his going out
o' his way to do a good thing -say to
help a poor woman left with a let o' '
babies or a poor lad that wants to
go to school? 'No, I'm very sorry,
but I give four shillings a week to
charity and that's all I can afford.'
"Why did they go away? Was it
because I was coming?"
"I think it likely, my fine lad. The
' man heard o' it some way -perhaps
through yer uncle. He's crazy for
the money, but he'll get over that.
Leave him to me. I've a fine course

Dunkelberg."
"I think I shall go and try to find
her " I said.
"I am to counsel ye about that,"
1 said the schoolmaster. "She's as

head cool an' yer heart warm and go

"I guess you like it better than I
was my answer.
"Ah, my lad, I know the heart o'
youth! Ye'd like to be puttin' yer
arms around her -wouldn't ye now?
Sure, there's time enough! You two
young colts are bein' broke' an' bit-
ted. Ye've a chance now to show yer
cmality-yer faith, yer royalty, yer
cleverness. If either one o' ye fails
that one isn't worthy o' the other.
Ye're in the old treadmill o' God -
the both o' ye! Ye're bein' weighed
an' tried for the great prize. It's not
pleasant, but it's better so. Go on,
now, an' do yer best an' whatever
Conies take it like a man,"
A little silence followed. He broke
it with these words-
"Ye're done with that business in
Cobleskill, an' I'm glad. Ye didn't
know ye were bein' trixl there --did
ye? Ye've stood it like a man. What
will ye be doin' now?"
"I'd like to go to Washington with
the Senator."
He laughed heartily.
"I was hopin' ye'd say that," he
went on. "Well, hoy, 1 think it can
be arranged. I'll sec the Senator as
soon as ever he comes an' I believe
he'll be glad to know yer wishes.
I think he's been hopin', like, that ye
would propose it. Go no to the farm
and spend a happy month or two
with yer aunt an' uncle. It'll do ye
good. Ye've been growin' plump
down there. Go an' melt it off in
the fields."
"How is Deacon Sinks?" I asked
presently.
"Soul buried in fat.! The sparkler
on his bosom suggests a tombstone
stickin' out of a soiled snow bank."
A little more talk and we were off
to bed with our candles.
Next morning I went down into
the main street of the village before
leaving for home. I wanted to sec
how it looked and, to he quite frank,
I wanted some of the people of Can-
ton to see how I looked, for my
clothes were of the best cloth and cut
in the latest fashion. Many stopped
me and shook my hand -men and
women who had never noticed me be-
fore, but there was a ryeality in their
smiles that I didn't quite enjoy. I
know 'now that they thought me a
little too grand on the outside. What
a stern-sonled lot those Yankees
were! "All ain't gold that glitters."
How often I had heard that version
of the old mottol
CHAPTER XVIII
I Start In a Long Way
I journeyed to Canton in the midst
of the haying season. After the long
stretches of forest road we hurried
along between fragrant fields of dry-
ing hay. At each tavern we first en-
tered the barroom where the landlord
-always a well dressed man of much
dignity and filled with the news of
the time, that being a part of his en-
tertainment -received us with cheer-
ful words. His housekeeper was
there and assigned our quarters for
the night. Our evenings were spent
playing cards or backgammon or
listening to the chatter of our host
by the fireside. At our last stop on
the road I opened my trunk and put
on my best nut of clothes.
We reached Canton at six o'clock in
the evening of a beautiful summer
day. I went at once to call upon the
Dunkelbergs and learned from a man
at work in the dooryard that they
had gone away for the summer. How
keen was my disappointment! I went
to the tavern and got my supper and
then over to Ashery Lane to see
Michael Hackett and his family. I
found the schoolmaster playing his
violin.
"Now God be praised -here is
Bart!" he exclaimed as he put down
his instrument and took my hands in
his. "I've heard, nfy boy, how brave-
ly ye've weathered the capes an' I'm
proud o' ye -that I am!"
I wondered what he meant for a
second and then asked:
"How go these days with you?"
"Swift as the weaver's shuttle," he
answered. "Sit you down whilI
call the family. They're out in the
kitchen putting the dishes away.
Many hands make light labor."
They came quickly and gathered a-
bout me -a noisy, happy group. The
younger children kissed me and sat
on my knees and gave me the small
news of the neighborhood.
How good were the look of those
friendly faces and the full -hearted
pleasure of the whole family at my
coming!
'What a joy for the spare room!"
exclaimed the schoolmaster. "Sure I
wouldn't wonder if the old bed was
dancin' on its four legs this very
minute."
"1 intend_ to walk up to the hills
to -night," I said. •
"Up to the hills!" he exclaimed
merrily. "An' the Hackets lyin' a-
wake thinkin' o' ye on the dark road!
Try it, hoy, an' ye'll get a crack with
the ruler and an hour after school.

'I got a letter from, Sally, this
morning," Betsy went on. "She eai4.

to follow the advice of the school.
master and robbed me of the little
peace I might have enjoyed..My faith
in Sally wavered up and down until
it settled at its wonted level and re-
assured me.
It was a perfect summer morning
and I enjoyed my walk over the fa-
miliar road and up into the hill coun-
try. The birds seemed to sing a
welcome to me. Men and Ii5.ys had
known waved their hats in the hay-
fields and looked at me. There are
few pleasures in this world like that
of a boy getting home after a long
absence. My heart beat fast when I
saw the house and rny uncle and Pur-
vis coming in from the twenty acre
lot with a load of hay. Aunt Deet
stood on the front steps looking down
the road. Now and then her waving
handkerchief went to her eyes. Uncle
Peabody carne down the standard off
his load and walked toward me.
"Say, stranger, have you see any-
thing of a feller by the name o' Bart
Baynes?" he demanded.
"Have you?" I asked.
"No, sir, I ain't. Gosh a'mighty!
Sayl what have ye done with that
boy of our'n?"
"What Save you done to our
house?" I asked again.
Built an addition."
"That's what I've done to your
boy," I answered.
'Thunder an' lightniril How you've
raised the roof!" he exclaimed as he
grabbed my satchel. "Dressed like a
statesman an' bigger'n a bullmoose.
I can't 'rastle with you no more. But,
say, I'll run ye a race. I can beat
ye an' carry the satchel, too."
We ran pellemell up the lane to
the steps like a pair of children.
Aunt Deel did not speak. She just
put her arms around me and laid her
dear old head upon my breast. Uncle
Peabody turned away. Then what
a silence! Off in the edge of the
woodland I heatd the fairy flute, of a
wood -thrush.
"Purvis, you drive that load on the
floor an' put pp, the horses," Uncle
Peabody shouted in a moment. "If
you don't like it you can hire 'nether
man. I won't do no more till after
dinner. This slave business is play-
ej°ut."
"Altright," Purvis answered.
"You bet it's all right. I'm fer
abolition anI've stood your domin-
eerin', nigger -driver ways long ee-
ough fer one mornin'. If you don't
like it you can look for another
man."
Aunt Deel and I began to laugh
at this good-natured, make-believe
scolding of Uncle Peabody and the
emotional strain was over. They led
me into the house where a delightful
surprise awaited me, for the rooms
had been decorated with balsam
boughs and sweet ferns. A glowing
mass of violets, framed in moss, occu-
pied the center of the table. The
house was filled with the odors of
the forest, which, as they knew, were
dear to me. I had written that they
might expect nee some time before
noon, but I had begged them not to
meet me in Canton, as I wished to
walk home after my long ride. So
they were ready for me.
I remember how they felt the cloth
on my back and how proudly they
surveyed it.
"Couldn't buy them goods 'round
these parts," said Uncle Peabody.
"Nor nothin' like 'em -no, sir."
"Feels a leetle bit like the butter-
nut trousers," said Aunt Dee/ as she
felt my coat.
"Ayes, but them butternut trous-
ers ain't what they used to be when
they was young an' limber," Uncle
Peabody retnarked. "Seems so they
was gettin' kind o' wrinkled an' bald-
headed -like, 'specially where I set
down."

with her work at the stove.
"Aunt, you look as young as ever,"
I remarked.
She slapped my arm and said with
mock severity:

How vigorously she stirred the fire
then.

"Why, Aunt Heel, what in the
world -do you mean?" I asked.
"It's Purvis's brain that does the
poundin', I guess," said my uncle.
"It's kind o' got the habit. It's a
reg'lar beetle brain. To hear him
talk, ye'd think Inc an' you could clean
out the hull Mexican nation-barrin'
accidents. Why, anybody would
suppose that yer enemies go to
climbin' trees as soon as they see ye
comin' an' that you pull the trees up
by the roots to git at 'em."
"A certain amount of such deviltry
is necessary to the comfort of Mr.
Purvis," I remarked. "If there is
nobody else to take the responsibility
for it he assumes it himself. His
imagination has an intense craving
for blood and violence. It's that
type of American who, egged on by
the slave power, is hurrying us into
trouble with Mexico."
Pnrvis came in presently with a
look in his face which betrayed his
knowledge of the fact that all the
cobwebs spun by his fancy were now
to be brushed away. Still he enjoyed
them while they lasted and there was
a kind of tacit claim in his manner
that there were subjects regarding
which no honest man could be ex- ,
pected to tell 'the truth.

The Secret of Cleopatra's Beauty
11
Palm and olive
oiLs-nothtng else
-give nature's
green color to
Palmolive Soap.
However much she called upon cosmetics to
increase her beauty, thorough cleansing was
never neglected. Palm and olive oils were the
basis of Cleopatra's elaborate toilet and the
foundation of her lifelong beauty.
The luxury of Palmolive is a gift of modern
science which ancient beauties never enjoyed.
The palm and olive oils which they used are
now blended in the finest facial soap the world
has ever known.
In the mild, soothing, creamy lather of Palm-
olive you find an ideal cleanser. It is lotion -like
in its action. It soothes while it cleanses. It is
a real complexion beautifier.
The price places it within reach of all. You
can afford to use it for every toilet purpose.
You can buy Palmolive Soap at all first-
