DOWN THE ROAD TO EN
BEESON'S.
"I'm afraid • you won't get ready fo
meetin', father, more'n nothin."
Hirt= Goodell was shaving aroun
Ms mouth, and he could not speak. No
a muscle of his face moved; still he look
ed irascible. He . stood before th
kitchen -glass and shaved cautiously an
slowly. He was always afraid of cut
ting himself when he shaved. -
Hirtim Goodell was a very cautiou
man. His wife_ stood by and held hi
'vest ready for -bins to put on. -He
hands twitched as she watched him wipe
his razor painstakingly with a bit'
of piper ana then hold blip to the light
and squmt at it to see if it were clean
enough. She felt like snatching the
razor and shaving him herself. . .
"For mercy sakes, father, don't be
soiong-winded 1" said she. She was a
sandy -haired avoinan, tall and baoad-
shouldered and lean. Her blue eyes
were weak and she narrowed them and
wrinkled her brows when she talked.
Hiram carefully scraped &mind hie
.mouth and held his lips firmly pressed
together. It was quite time before
he -spoke, then words came out with
the lidded impetut of repression. e"I
- wish yorad lay down that vest, an go
„ 'long 'bout your work, mother,' said
he, -"an not sten' there watching me."
"Stan' here watchin' you I'd like to
know it you'd ever get anywhere,
father, if I didn't foller you up. I'd.
, jest like to_arnow what you would do."
"The bell ain't tolled yet."
"The bell ain't tolled ! That's jest
the way you talk, father. What if it
ain't, you can't -walk down there under
twenty minutes, an" you know it. An'
it's time for it to now.. This clook's
' ten minutes fast. But there yod state
• as deliberate ast if you'd got a week be-
• fore_you."
The old man muttered something.
lilt wife laid the vest on -the table and
the.buttons rattled. • -
"Well, you can swear if you want to,"
said she,. "a man as old as you be an'
professin' what you, do." -
She turned henna about with a ma-
- Intl° air.
"1 weal swearin". Yen say pretty
'hard things, mother." The old man's
- 'tone was suddenly humble and comas -

shut all the time. I think you go niost
too far, mother.":- •
• Hiram now went to the sink, and
washed his. face long and thoioughly;
his wife had turned .the water into the
tin basin for him. She eyed him
- sharply when he had dried his face on
the rolleato we', • .
" Stan' round here, father 1"" said
* She dipped a corner of the towel in

- The bell had quite*: stopped • ringing
when they reached the °hitch, and
4 there,were no people in the vestibule;
8 even the sexton had gone in.
; Hiram opened the door and tiptoed,

Emersoni did not _enter until he Was
fairly seated in ', hit pew. Then he
did not appear to watch them, but he
sew them quite plainly. He . even
noticed; a little . red feather on Fanny
-Emersons' black hat, and wondered
how much it cost. It was so bright. he
thought it must be. expensive. The
Emerson' -were now very straitened in
their eireumitances, and the Goodell.
witched -them narrowly, and appraised
jealously everything they had. There
was a feud between the two families, a
New England • feud. ' There was no

for you a little. You don't have any

state round any longer, father, for
mercy sakes! Your greatcoat an'
your hat are on the settle -room founge,
an' I've brushed 'em. Seern's tome the
tollin" now."
But the bell had only just begun to
toll when Masan- Goodell had left his
own yard, and was fairly out in the road.
The long bell tones came sweet and
clear through . the frosty air. It was-
veryaold for the season, and there was
no snow on the ground. The road-wasfrozen in greet ridges. The rough
• ground hurt the old man's tender feet,
and be stepped gingerly and toed, in to
owe them. He was large and lumber-
ing, and could not walk easily. The
church was half a mile away, and the
Emersons' a quarter of a mile: Before
- he came to the Emersons he passed the
house where the Lord sisters lived. It
was a square white house with four
windows in front. Two belonged to
the sitting-roora and two to the parlor.
At each of the sitting -room windows It
head with a black lace cap and spec-
tacles was visible. The heads were
bent down in a peering attitude so as to
clear the obstructions of the sashes, the
spectacles themselves seemed to squint
curiously. -
The old man, passing close under the
windows, looked up and bowed gravely-
- and stiffly. s • , -
"Always a peekin'!" he thought to
himself, with a slow, masculine disap-
probation' of curious women. Hiram
had never in his life looked out of a
window to see who was passing, so far
as he could, remember. „
° Down the hill, and beyond the Lords',
with no house between WAS the Emer-
sons'. That was a one-story house,
large on the ground but very low. It
had been painted white, but it was now
gray, the reef was lurohy with loose
. shingles. In the wide eide-yard were a
straggling Wood -pile and an old farm
wagon. Hiram did not look squarely,
but he took it all in. As • he passed, he
held up his head quite high, and toed
out -firmly in spite of the frozen ground.
He did not appear to be looking, but
he saw quith plainly a figure come to
one of the front windows, then start
back: he saw the front door open a
little way, *then close with a jerk.
"They saw me oomin' an' went
-back," he thought to himself.
When he was well past the house the
door opened again, and an old man and
a young woman appeared. They came
out of the yard, and proceeded- down
the street behind Hiram, who clumped
along . with solemn deliberation. The
bell had now nearly stopped tolling, and
the Emersons kat in. haste. They sat
well toward- the -front of the church,
And were abashed. when they went in,
if it were late. But they could not
vuicken their pace without overtaking
Akan', and they did not want to -do
that.

but when he awung hinutolf forward,

Goodell& and the Emotions had hated
each other stiffly_ and rIgidly, after the •
true manner of their Puritan blood; for
the last ten years. There- had been a
piece of woodland, whose possession
was • disputed. The question had been
carried to law, and Foster Emerson had
won the suit, while Hiram Goodell had
to -•pay, the costs, mi well as to lose his
claim. . He had considerable property,
but he was close with it.; it was an I
awful thing for him' to pay. his hard- .5

to giving up his own will. Hiram t
Goodell wat a New Englander of New
Englanders, He could not carry on a
soothe& vendetta, but he could walk d
hand-in-hand with hatred with an iron b
grip. To -day he seemed, as bitter W
toward Foster Emerson as he had been 11
