"Glad you 'like it," I said, ,with
great satisfaction.
"0, the speech!" she answered, her
elbow resting on the window sash,
her hand supponting her !head. "I
liked it 'very well—but—but I was
'thinking of, the .sunset. Ilow beautiful
it is."
I was weary after my day of travel
and went early to bed there in my
old room. I :left her ,finishing a pair of
socks she had been knitting for pie.
Lying in bed, I could hear the creak
of her chair and the low 'sung, :fam-
iliar words:
"On the other side of Jordan,
In sweet fields (of Eden,
Where the .tree of life is 'blooming,
There is resit fol• :you."
Late at night she came into my
room with a candle. I heard her come
softly to the bed where she stood a
moment leaning over toe. Then she
drew the quilt about my shoulder with
a gentle hand.
'Poor little .orphan1" said she, in a
whisper that trembled. She was think-
ing of my childhood—sof her own Ilap-
pier days.,
Then she' went away and I heard, in
the silence, a ripple of measureless
waters,
'Next morning I took 'flowers and
strewed theni on the graves Of David
and 'Uncle Eb; there, Hope and I .go,
often to sit 'for half a summer day'
above those perished 'forms, and think
of the old time and of 'those last
words of spy venerable'friend now
graven on his tombstone:

The End
'ON THE LINE
I
belong to the .brotherhood of the
:rural telephone line, which has dis-
proved for. all time the adage,
'Eavesdroppers shear no .good of
'themselves." Ranches in our district
of woolgrowers are 5 to 20 miles
apart, and sometimes we have no
contact with our neighbors for weeks,
Many women are completely isolated
by the heavy randh work in .summer
and snow in winter. Is it strange,
then, that "listening in" ,on the rural
line is the !breath of life to the aver-
age ranch wife? And incidentally to -
the rancher himself
My first experience with the bro-
therhood of the rural line occurred a
few days after I ':had come, a bride,
to my husband's ranch. In the dining
room I found Jennie, the cook, with
her ear glued to' the reeciver. 'My sur-
prise and' disapproval must have been
re'fiectod in my face, and I expected
the woman to drop- the receiver -like a
re -hot coag, But she listened to the
very end. I .voied my disgus in no
sncrain 'terms. Her eyes were wide
with surprise,
"Why Missus, everybody 'listens.

I cut her short and explained that I
was not interested in other ,people's
business, that it had absolutely noth-
ing to do with me, and she broke in,
"But, Missus, i't does, ,Our trucks

promptly did:
That woman knew everything that
happened within a radius of fifty miles
and she regaled tllI ranch hands at
mealtime with gossip. She knew that
the Ellisons had sowed their oats
before tose "shiftless Burtons had
broken ground. She knew when the
Lawtons sold their hogs, and what
they got for then!, She was righteous-
ly indignant when the doctor in a
nearby town refused to bring the Bur-
ton baby into the world because Ise
hadn't been paid for the last five. This
shattered my heroic reserve, and I off-
ered to take her down to help.
"Grandma Bassett'll go. She's the
elostest."
"But she may not know about it,
and it would be cri iiinal to leave that
poor woman alone." •
She looked me squarely in the eye
before she turned 'back to her work,
"Don't worry," she said, 'Don't
worry," she said, "she knows."
It took me a long tinge to fall in
line. I'm only a recent convert. Now
I know that it isn't morbid curiosity
that prompts this listening, but a fine

the very 'lonel , groping for contact

enough, he didn't 'have it.
