They take their meals at Miss Peck's, Timothy makes friends with a new teacher, Susan Barney, and her younger sister, Delia, and Aunt Lavinia invites the girls to tea. Finally the two girls said -good-bye, they'd had a wonderful time, thank you so much -they were gone. Re, an.embering that he had not let so much .as opened ;the day's mail piled on his desk, Mr. Hulme stepped out and walked briskly along the gravel driveway toward his office in the Academy building. • .„ Some one was coming towards him. He looked around to see Susan Bar- ney. She had taken off her hat, and as she walked was swinging if in one ungloved hand. Her forward motion set her hair stirring and lifting around her face like a 'cloud. Mr. Hulme thought cooly of something he must be sure to say to her before he forgot it, and called, "Oh, ;Susan, wait a Minute." He took off his hat, looked down at her, and said with kindness, "You know I told you yes- terday that I seldom could make any kind of guess about what young peo- ple a're like? Well, as far as- your sister Delia goes, I was mistaken. I had a little talk with her this atter- noon while you and my aunt were in the kitchen, and I was struck *ith her brains. She's an unusually bright girl." Susan cried out his name, turning it into an exclamation of delight. "Oh, Mr. Hulme!" she said fervently. She gave him, out of her' beautiful gray eyes, the long, melting, intimate look which once before had so deep- ly moved him; but now it was cut short by a rush of happy tears. • * * * It was well towards the middle of, November when Timothy Hulme sat down next to the old man one even- ing, instead of by Mrs. Washburn to whom as a penance he had been pointedly kind for four or five weeks. "Is it really true;" he cast out his line towards Mr. Dewey with a -dare - fully ;baited hook, "that as' inany as fifteen or twenty families used to live up on the Crandall Pitch? Cur- ious, isn't it, a whole community evapqrating that way? How'd they ever happen to settle so 'far away?" "Far away from what?" Mr. Dew- ey flung hinaSelf unsuspectingly upon the bait. "They settled there because they had sense enough to know it was a good , ii]ace to live. Why, let' me tell you, T. C., that's one ok the best .pieces of land in this town. Not a sour square inch in it. And up high that way, . between the ' two mountains, they'd - get a full hour more sunshine both ends of the day than anywhere else in Clifford. Far away nothing!" Miss Lane asked, "I've always won- dered, Mr. Dewey, why they did leave the Pitch?" Mr. Dewey looked unsmilingly back into the past. "All kinds of 'reasons. Women -folks mostly, I guess. They wanted to be where they eould do their tradin' any time they took a no- tion to." • "I've heard my grandmother say," Miss Lane added reasonably, "that when the Academy was started down here . . . " "We -e-11, yes, that was another thing," Mr„ Dewey admitted. As Susan Barney stood up and be- gan ta gather the dishes together to carry out to the kitchen, Mr. Hulme said to Mr. Dewey, loudly enough to be- heard by everybody, "Well, 1 now have a rittsonal interest 'in the Cran- dall Pitch. I've just bought a house up on the road that used to go to it. thought it was time I had a place of my own like the resf of.you. The last house on the road. Right-hand side as you go Up." He turned his head 'from one to An- other as he spoke, looking steadily at them although be was intensely conscious of Susan behind . them standing silent at the door of the kit- chen, a pile of plates in her hand. -But now he could control his eyes no longer, looked past his questioners at her -and could not look -away. She was Smiling at him, Sinning as if they were alone in the room. The Manual Training teacher had an idea. "But isn't that the house where Miss Barney's grandfather - where she was brought up?" ' "Why, so 'tis!" Mr. Dewey was struck by this, • "Susan!" be roared, "Susan! Listen- to this. Come here a minute." But -they were disappointetd by her reaction to the news. She only said, "You don't say so. Well e . ! and reached for the empty pie plate. in front of Miss Peck. •' What Mr. Hulme wilt thinking as he helped Aunt Lavinia on, with her cloak was, "Why not? After all, why not?" "You must tell me," said Timothy Hulme to Susan, looking around the low-ceilinged room, "how it was when you lived here. That'll give me a notion of hoW to maize it look as if I really belonged." . "But it does look as it used to. On- ly filesher. Grandfather never had money. The yellow paint on these walls is like sunshine." "Do ye know what I'd like?" said Aunt Lavinia, from 'the armchair where she had been half -dozing. "I'd like my tea. But I suppose ye have na' tea things up here yet, Tim?" "Would I be asking Lavinia Gout- ton to any place that hadna' tea things?" said Timothy. "Susan, come along, will you, 'and help me get the tea?" ' After she bad had her tea, Aunt Lavinia's eyes began to droop again. "Well, go along, Tim, and have Susan show you all over the place," she said sleepily. They went out of the back door Into the dark limbo of the woodshed, and emerged from that into the sweet pale sunshine of November. They struck, diagonally across the uptilted oblong of the hill pasture. After a few steps, "Do you know what I'd like?" she said, 'using Aunt Lavinia's turn of phrase. '"I'd like awfully -if you wouldn't mind telling me -to know some more about -Mrs. Henry." The other name had trembled so obviously on her tongue that Tim- othy could say, quite naturally; "Call her' Aunt Lavinia. She'd like that." They were standing by an•butcrop-. ping Of rock. "Let's sit down for a while,". suggested Susan. • "Let yourself go -don't he afraid of thabght Timothy Hume, and in a dreamy murmur began with the first words that came into his head, "When my brother and I were little, Aunt Lavinia and my mother used to tell us that the reason Aunt 'Lavinia followed my father and mother was because my mother's alto voice couldn't get along without her sopra- no. That was like,.thern. The real reason was that they lOved each oth- er. They all sang, Father, played the cello and Mother the violin. Aunt Lavinia was a professional pianist - you should have heard her play be- fore the arthritis stiffened her fin- gers." After a silence, "Where did you live?" she murmured. "Oh, all around New York. In what used to be suburbs. Aunt Lavinia had a music studio in the city where she gave her lessons, so it didn't make any difference to her where she lived, so king as 'little Margaret' was there. Margaret was my mother. We were reklly very 'happy." .' "What was your father's 'work?" "He had a position _in, a Publishing house. He had gone straight from Oxford to a firm of publishers in Lon- don. And after a while their Ameri- can branch offered. him a better Posi- tion in New York." He had come to the end Of what could be told lounging on this warm rock in tepid sunshine. What was now to be said stood up threatening- ly before him, and his muscles, tight- ening, brought him to his feet i� face it. ' • "Yes, I suppose we'd better go on," said Suian. Leaning against the steepness of the field, they began climbing again, and soon, as if to keep up with the nervous haste of the narrator, climb- ing rapidly. "My little brotherDown- er was -how old was he? -ten -be- fore we were wakened from our good dream." He reflected, \dnd said dry- ly, "Aunt Lavinia fell in love then and married and went, away with her husband to Australia. She . had al- ways said she could not live without her little sister. Yet she' left her to go to the other side of the globe. She was thirty-seven years old and although she was a levely creature, she had never cared for any man be- fore." • "What kind of man?" asked Sus- an, her breath coming quickly with the swiftness of their pace. "I never knew much about him. I was only thirteen years old then. All I know was that Father 'and Mother Couldn't endure him" In the same harsh voice he now said rapidly, "And six or seven months after that, my mother had pneumonia and died." "When you were only . fourteen years old!" she said slowly, her young voice rich with compassion. With' an appeased, sigh he turned to climb again, slowly now, plodding step by step as the dark words drop- ped, one by one. "And then my fa- ther went to pieces. He took to drinking. He let hiS work gb. And then one morning when I got up, I found Father lying at 'the foot of the stairs. He wasn't tineonscious,' but be didn't know me. He died in the :hospital the next day." "Oh! What did you do?" cried the girl. '"1 got a job. I had to take care of DoWner. He had to be put through high •school." "What kind of a, job? A boy of fif- teen!" "Boys"' jobs:, One after anothet. Sweeping out • a grocery afore. Sell- ing neckties in a cheap haliardaehery.. Delivering pachagea, for a butcher."' "How, did you live.r. • 'In a hall bedroom, We found one with a double bed. We cooked on the gas jet. We didn't know how to take care of ourselves,. or our clothes, how to get the right food. Downer was sick a good deal -sore throats. Aunt Lavinia wrote me, all this time, beg- ging me to say just how we boys were living, and if Father had let us money enough. I never- • answered her very exactly, except to say that we were all right, getting on . . .
