It fell grimly to hts lot, too, to pro

farm he had longed und hoped for,
acre by acre. There w/i# no conten-
tion between them ns to this. The
young wife'll wishes we re his law.
•'Ho married me for that," suld Sally,
the llrat time, "and I let him marry me
for that Just for spile. Only noone was
spited but me—but me—well, he shall
have It all—all"—her voice broke a
little—"all but the—pasture-field—that
—no one shall have but—you—or Sctfy
when I die."
Only once he Interfered. Sam
raised hls hand to strike her and he
laid the drunkurd at hls feet with a
blow such ns he hud struck but once
before In hls life.
"I am her guardeen!" he cried as he
struck. "Uy the Lord, 1'tu her guar-
doon!"
For a moment he gloated ovei^ the
pros!rute brute. Then he stood up

crowded a little closer.
"Pappy," she said presently, "let me

“Do you mean that?" asked the old

One of Sally* da tie* was the nightly
reading of the Farm Journal. And
Just now this paper, edited by a gen-
tleman who knew nothing about farm-
lag—and by him edited well—was full
of the great meeting of the National
Farmer* League of the United State#
of America, which was ia session at
Omaha.
By far the most intelligent and
interesting pap-er of the session, thus
lar. Sally read one night, was that .
on The Proper Succession of Crops in
Maryland by the youthful president
of the Kansas Sta'e league. Mr-I
Sally rose suddenly and vanished to
the kitchen where there was a light
"What was Itr asked the old man
when she returned.
"I—I choked," said Sally quite i
truthfully, "and went for a drink."
"Yarn—don't read no more. We'll 1
find out about the succession to-mor- |
row night. But what was the smart
feller's name?"
She pretended to look for it. and
when she pretended to have found It:
"Mr.—S. P. Brown," she read.
"A Kansas man—about Marvland!
Huh!"
But that night, after Seffy's father
was in bed. Sally wrote a pitiful letter
—perhaps the first she had ever writ-
ten:
"Dear Seffy (it ran):
"Please come home. Come as soon
as you get this. Your pappy wants
you. He is old and sorry, so please
come right away.
"Sephenijah P. Baumgartner, Senior.”
But the envelope was addressed to
“Mr. 8. P. Baumgartner, Jr.,
"President Kas. State League,
"Kansas."
The post mistress smiled indulgently
as Sally handed in the letter the next
day.

would address her—forgetting that hia

this. For, ax she looked in the glass,
she saw * face so radiant that she
looked again to identify it.
So. all the more she dressed herself
with the same care she would have
taken were she going to him instead
of Lo the post-office for his letter. She
remembered what he had said about
her hair, and she ventured to pull it
about her face, much as it had been
that night in the dark parlor. But at
the thought of that the tears came
slowly into her eyes. She had been
Tery happy that night. It was all the
happiness she had ever known, it
seemed now. She dried her eyes and
then she sat at the table where Seffy
had often sat, and looked again in his
broken mirror. The radiance was
quenched. Her face was pale and thin
now. She thought of it quite as if he
were soon to see it.
"I wonder if he'll think me hand-
some, now?" She shook her head
doubtfully at the face she saw in the
glass. No, I have no red cheeks no
more—and my eyes are bigger—and
my lips thinner—and my hair is paler

the most widely played of all Instru

Yes," said Sally, fidgeting with her
^onnet. "How soon do you think it
will get there?"
The post mistress reflected.
"About a week,” she said then.
"So long?"
But, as a matter of fact, she had
thought It would take longer Kansas
was a vague place In those days, and
a vast distance away.
"Well," said the post-mistress com-
fortingly, “mebby not quite so long.
But better not count on Its getting
there sooner. I'll give it a good start.

"Thank you,” said Sally.
She watched her put it into the hag
and then went dreaming home, and
for all of'the two weeks of waiting she
was very happy—dreaming always.
Poor girl—she had made her life so
unhappy that Joy seemed divine. She
was sure of Seffy. Sometimes she won-
dered with a blush and a start if he
might not come himself In answer.
She would not have been surprised to
have him qteal up behind her—that
was his way. she remembered—and
call out softly her name. So she went
about almost on tiptoes so that she
might hear him if he should. It was
a little difficult to keep it from the in-1
qulsitlve old man, who did not quite I
understand her sudden happiness. But
she did it.
And, finally, the two weeks were up.!
She was quite sure Seffy would not
waste a moment with his answer. And
he might use that mysterious instru-
ment, the telegraph, which she under-
stood would not take more than an
hoar from Kansas. She supposed hls
message, even If ho used the tele-
graph, would com6 to the post-office.
