"There ain't many of 'em gone to hed sick ever it." she said hatefully, and without waiting for a reply trembled to her feet and walked to the door. "Couie, Hester: we gut to Ingoing." "1 wondt-red what brought Emmelilie here." murmured Calliope, taking up her work again. "Of course alter shed Visited in Millertou she had to come around and see how I took news of Carrol Fenton What fiends women can be!" She bit oil' her thread with her strong white teeth and looked dreamily out of the window and sniffed the spicy fragrance of the cinnamon roses. "Happened right here by the cinnamon roses." she whispered to herself. "I was so happy, and he said he was afraid he had made a mistake, and I gave hltu back the ring.

Seeing like all the strength went out of my legs that very minute. 1 s'pose, coming so 60011 after mother's long sickness and death, it upset me. If they all knew how I wanted to stand and walk around and lie like other folks, only somehow there's no spring back of It all. Dr. Lfrown says tie can't do a thing, and he talks about will power.

I'm a useless mortal. But, there; Isabel says 1 ain't and If it wasn't for me she wouldn't have a home!" Calliope smiled through sudden tears. "Looks like she'd soon have a handsome home If she marries Newton. He's a flue fellow: but. Lord forgive me.

It does rankle to think my girl should marry Carrol's nephew!" She leaned back In the chair and closed her eyes. Her helpless feet rested on a hassock, and across her lap there rippled streams of bright colored carpet rags. From the rosebushes came the deep hum of bees, and the tall tops of the locust trees rustled a pleasant monotone. Suddenly there broke Into the sweet harmony of the summer afternoon orb er sounds the sharp raps of a horse's hoofs on the hard oyster shell road, a man's voice shouting, then Just the pounding hoofs and the rattle of car rlage wheels Calliope leaned forward and looked out of the window. A sorrel horse with four white feet was plunging madly past the house.

hiui 6wtmg a low phaeton containing a man. it; beyond Calliope's front gate the phaeton swayed and caught upon a large rock. The horse tore himself loose from the shafts and disappeared beyond the turn of the road The phaeton toppled and overturned and pinned the man underneath. It was very silent after that. It was a lonely road, and from ber window on the hill Calliope Delmore could see beyond the turn of the road, and she noticed that the runaway horse had stop ped and turned into an open field to She felt very strange.

Her heart was beating tumultuonsly, and her blood seemed to flow through her veins In a sustaining flood that gave strength to her weak body. White lipped, she stared down at the wrecked phaeton and the still form beneath it That was Carrol Fenton. She knew the minister's little carrlage. but the horse was a strange one to her. Perhaps Carrol was dying down there alone In the road! Who would go for help? If only Isabel was there! The horse might return and trample him.

Calliope was afraid of horses. She closed her eyes and prayed for help. When she opened them she smiled oddly and placed her hands on the arms of her chair. She kicked aside the hassock and stood upon her feet She put out one foot and It supported her weight She stood upon the other. Then with sudden energy she picked up the untouched glass of root beer that Hester had poured for ber.

staggered across the room to the door and stumbled to the porch and down the steps. Then Calliope Delmore. who had sat In a chair for fifteen years with helpless limbs, ran down the Inclined path to the front gate and gained the road. With the action came renewed life and a sense of buoyancy and youth. Newton Deane and Isabel Delmore, driving slowly home through the golden afternoon, saw Calliope run down the path, and Isabel was bo frightened that she hid her face on Newton's shoulder.

It was easier to do It because bis arm was already around ber. The boree stopped stock sUU. and they watched Calliope as they might have witnessed the ghost scene In a play. She darted out of the gate and down the sloping path to the shattered phaeton. Carrol FeDtWs eyes were wide open, and his face was white and drawn.

The body of tb vehicle rested on one of his legs. "CaillopeT he gasped when she knelt beside him and held the root beer to his Hps. "I was Just coming to see yon, dear." he whispered "coming to ask your forgiveness, and yon know the rest" he murmured. "Of course I know It" said Calliope, practically not knowing that ber eyes were full of tears. "Your coming this way has worked a miracle.

I've run every step of the way. and I guess I can keep on my feet now. I s'pose I ought to be mad at you. Fenton. but how can I be when we all make such mistakes?" They were holding hands and smiling at each other with the deeper understanding of matured love, the woman who had Just recovered her power to wall; and the middle aged minister, suffering agonies from a broken leg Newton Deane and Isabel, watching them from the buggy, suddenly under Hood.

They. too. smiled at each other. "I guess we'll have double wedding." whispered Newton, and Isabel nod W-d and murmured In reply: "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Did von ever see such a neglected dooryard In all your life?" "You're her second cousin, ma.

Why don't you try. to give her a mite of a piece of your mind kind of a second cousin's slice?" asked Hester sarcastically. "And have my head hit ofT" retort ed her mother. "I spoke to Calliope fifteen years ago when Carrol Fentjn went off and married that city girl. Says I.

'Cal. fur the land's sake don't tike to your bed' (she was acting all broken up about the matter); 'Just turn your face to the world and act like you don't care." "What did she say?" asked Hester curiously. "Say? Pays she: 'Emmellne Seton, I'd thank you to mind your own busl nessl When the rbeumatlz goes out of my legs 1 reckon I'll get up and walk with the best of 'em. 1 ain't a-grlevlng over Carrol Fenton. I'm suffering with rheumatlz! My advice to you Is that If you've got any business of your own to tend to It ami let mine alone!" Sn I don't never interfere with Calliope Delniore.

She can lay abed till the Judgment day." "Well, she don't lay abed much, and you must admit that she's busy as bee her fingers from morning till night She cuts and sells carpet rags enough to make a living for "eiu." "Humph! A woman forty years old ain't no right to be chair rid as I can see. Knock again. Hester, and If Isabel don't come 1 shall walls right In." Hester rapped loudly and once more pulled the knob of the rusty bell wire. A window sash screeched up, and a woman's voice called musically: "Come In. whoever you be.

Isabel ain't tc home." Mrs. Seton and Hester trfed the dooi and. finding It locked, walked around the path to the side entrance. They pushed open the screen door and walked Into Calliope Delmore's sitting room. "That you, Emmellne and Hester; How do you do?" Calliope looked up from her sewing and motioned them to comfortable cushioned chairs.

"Give your mother that fan. Hester, and take off her bonnet. Lay aside your own hat, child, and If you'll go to the cellar you'll find some root beer. Isabel made It three days ago, and It's Just rigid now." "How be you. Calliope?" asked Mrs.

Seton reluctantly, for she made It a point not to acknowledge that anything was seriously amiss with het second cousin. She always spoke Impatiently to Calliope. Just as if she would like to pick her out of the big Roston rocker and send her hurrying around tlie house In a healthy, normal manner. "Well." said Calliope cheerfully, "It's dreadful hot. ain't it.

Em?" "Awful. You must appreciate this call. It's tuckered me out to climb the hill." said Mrs. Seton. fanuing herself vigorously.

"Who Is the carpet fot now. Calliope?" "Llda Sopor She's been saving rags for years for this sitting room carpet" "It's going' to be real bright and pretty," nodded Mrs. Seton over the glass of root beer that Hester had brought to her. "Where's Isabel. Calli ope?" "Gone riding with Newton Deane," said Calliope hardily.

"Newton Deane!" exclaimed nester Jealously. Mrs. Seton blinked rapidly. "Newton's half nephew to Carrol Fenton. ain't be?" "You ought to know, Em." retorted Calliope dryly, "seeing that you almost married Newton's father.

Mrs Setou bridled as she threw op her large pink hands. "Don't get to talking to Hester about my beaua. Calliope. The child won't have any respect for ber ma If you tell her what a madcap I was in them days." Hester giggled. "Too can't cut up much now.

ma." she said wickedly. "I hare do desire to." said Mrs Seton primly, suddenly remembering her great bulk. "We was speaking of Carrol Fenton. Calliope. I was over to Millerton last week, and I saw him.

He's grown considerable old looking." "Apt to. Don't get any younger with the years." rapped ont Calliope In the crisp phrases she adopted when remarks became personal. "Some say his wife's death broke him up. and others say It was a blessed relief and that he looks better than he ever did since he married her She kept his nose to the grindstone always, so they say: extravagant and flighty too flighty for minister's wife "Minister's wives are only human Churches don't pay salaries dig enough to give 'em much of good time I guess Lena Fenton took what fun she could ns she went along" Mrs Seton gasped. "I didn't expect cou'd Me standing up for Carrol Fen-ton's wife." sin- said acidly Calliope turned a white and n-solnt fi.

A can of kerosinc. oil and the stove cracked and broken, gave the impression that May had poured a large quantity of the oil into the stove, from which his clothing might have caught fire. The body was so burned and charred that it was hardly recognizable. He is survived by a stepmother, four brothers, Bert, John, Fred and George, and two sisters. The deceased was about 06 yers of age.
