She reared you and took pride in the upkeep of this place, and helped run town doings and earned her living And when she came to die she said to me, it's been a good life. I've liked living-, nearly straight He paused a moment and added huskily: "And you're a Mannersfield too. You'll say that, daughter." Eve found herself, suddenly, crying for that old love story as she had not cried for her own. The old man. had told it to her to help, to show her that she, too, could find life good, could face living on near the man she loved, because of courag'e for work, and responsibility and little pleasures.

She reached blindly for Uncle Henry's hard long old hand. "I--I will. Uncle Henry--" She stood up to go inside. Judge would be getting back soon now, with a hungry boy's, appetite, A man's step sounded at the corner of the house, and she stiffened No, not George. would not have to rgreet George with pleasant indifference again today.

"Well, son, what you doing so far from this near' supper?" Uncle Henry was saying, as shambling Lance Seymour came up to them, gnawing a big yellow apple. It was windy, but Lance had no sweater over his ragged blue shirt, and a bare knobby knee showed through his overalls. "Not far from home," Lance mumbled sullenly. "Hungry, boy? Guess we could find a sandwich and a glass of -milk, eh, Eve?" "Don't want any. Had a lot of.

apple's, good Seymour apples. And I -roasted some "Look here, Lance, you mustn't do like That's stealing. Your dad sold the house to George Cleveland, and that makes the potatoes his. You don't want to be put in the lock up again, do you?" Lancelot's half-open foolish mouth snapped shut, over his blackened teeth. His lantern- jawed face changed from its usual blank expression to one of vicious fury.

"That's the Seymour house," he opened his mouth again to say. "It was built by Lancelot Seymour, and I'm Lancelot Seymour, and them. Clevelands ain't no right there. They done a lot of things to it tbeyain't no right to do. Swellin' round there, and that Mattie Webb warnin 1 me off for dig-gin' up pinies to put on Granther Seymour's grave! Pinies a man named Evans or some- tiling sent him from England hundreds of years back! They got- to get out! I'm goiri' to make 'em get out!" His vthole gaunt, body shook with weak hysterical anger.

"Well, son, now, I wouldn't do that. You go home now and talk it over with your dad. He'll tell you how he sold it to the Clevelands, lock, stock and barrel, and it isn't yours any more." "Dad isn't home. Down to the saloon in Westport." But Lance, suddenly 'terrified at his own. anger, shambled quickly away.

Eve lingered on the steps. "You don't think he'll really do anything, do you?" "Gosh, no, child! What could he do? He's just talking the way half-wits always do talk. Run in now, the wine's rising." Judge Brings Home Trout She went slowly in. Judge, clattering in from tile front door, where -be had been dropped by his friends, laden with bags and tin cans and a string of fish, wild with excitement at finding someone to whom he could relate the story of his exciting her the kitchen, "And I learned' horn to fix apples to bake, lemme show you!" It was peaceful and quiet there in the old bright kitchen. Judge, brown and strong and bright- eyed, still smelling rather fishy, chattered on and on about the real trout, all cleaned, they would fry for breakfast, his prowess in jumping, his longing to go to a real boy's Uncle Henry, raking outside, on at his invariable work-tune: Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment.

d'amour dure toute la vie! Some French emigre must have brought it to Connecticut long ago; Uncle Henry whistled it because his father had done so before him. Eve had heard it sung at concerts in New York. A stiff little bright tinkling tune; he whistled it over and over, and Eve hummed the words. And all in a moment, in the warm kind old kitchen, while the contended child chattered and the old man whistled cheerfully outside, Eve was suddenly, horribly frightened; frightened because George Cleveland had been threatened by a helpless half- starved halfwit. She knew it was crazy.

George, strong, wise, capable--it was nonsense. Except that when you love anybody the way she did George, it seems that your heart stands- always on g-uard, anguished, watchful, afraid. They had been so long together; he had been- Ellen's so short a while, that as she stood at the table, her clever hands pouring hot milk on fluffy flour, stirring, adding with mechanical perfection, her heart forgot; she slipped into a day-dream about him. If she were doing thia for George George with his nor- mal fondnesses for good food, long evenings by firelight, long the home things that were so dear shared! She was deep in a daydream of the sort girls in love have; a silly, loving picture of George, coming in fresh with the autumn wind, kissing her and laughing and telling her to hurry up, he was George telling her about his day, his success in the new set of grafts; George leaning across the dinner table, praising the little, doubled brown rolls, her singing at the Grange the night' before, proud of a wife who did so many things' so well.

Revival Services at Church of God "The Precious Blood of Christ" was the topic last night at-revival services at the Church of God on. East Logan street, of the Rev. G. W. Ledbetter, of Richmond, who arrived, yesterday to conduct a series of meetings.

The Rev: Mr. Ledbetter will speak tonight on the topic, "The Saving Son of and wiU also bring a message in song. "The only thing that will save man today is the.blood of Jesus the evangelist explained at last night's meeting. "Never will you realize how precious the blood of Jesus is until you have applied it to your heart. It is when we find ourselves lost and undone we begin to realize how precious it is.

It" can't be bought with silver or gold. Acts 20:28 teaches us the blood of Jesus Christ redeems us from sin and will purify a guilty conscience. As our life begins in this world it is pure, white and clean. As it grows older you begin to' mar it with sin, but the blood of Jesus can cloanse us from all sin. The blood of Jesus is precious because of its reconciling powers and because of its overcoming power.

Services at the church will be held for an indefinite time, beginning each night at 7:30 o'clock. An old time gospel song sendee is led each night by the pastor, the, Rev. W. R. Higgs.
