PROLOGUE.
r Strength and interest of quit
Uvea in the New 'England o
three-quarters of a century ag<
provide the framework of “Thx
Story of Waitstill Baxter. " That
is the skeleton. The flesh ano
blood of human beings, living
mnd loving and moving in a world
of their own that is a miniatun
picture of the greater world out
side, are also there. The stor\
is a cross section of life as see?
and described by a woman whi
has been well called “America'?
greatest living woman novelist.'
Amid the hills of New Englana
are many men and women lik*
Waitstill and Patience Baxte?
and their father, Ivory Boynton
and his afflicted mother ano
funny Cephas Cole, who woos
hopefully, but with small chance
of success. They find their wa\
into books but seldom, for i?
takes a master hand to describe
faithfully the doings of rea>
people. And that is the reason
why “The Story of Waitstill
Baxter" has won highest praist
from critics who know a gooa
book when they see one.
(Continued from Yesterday.)
The extra food needed for the hired
men always kept her father in a state
of mind closely resembling insanity.
Coming downstairs to cook breakfast,
ehe would find the coffee or tea meas
ured out for the pot The Increased
consumption of milk angered him be
yond words, because it lessened the
supply of butter for sale.
Everything that could be made with
buttermilk was ordered so to be done,
and nothing but water could be used
In mixing the raised bread. The corn
cake must never have an egg; the pie
crust must be shortened only with lard
or with a mixture of beef fat and drip
ping, and so'on, and so on, eternally.
When tbe girls were respectively sev
enteen and thirteen, Waltstlll bad beg
ged a small plot of ground for them
to use as they liked, and beginning at
that time, they had gradually made a
little garden, with a couple of frnit
trees and a thicket of red, white and
black currants, raspberry and black
berry bushes.
For several summers now they had
sold enough of their own fruit to buy
a pair of shoes or gloves, a scarf or a
bat, but even this tiny Income was be
ginning to be menaced. The deacon
positively suffered as be looked at that
odd corner of earth, not any bigger
than his barn floor, and saw what bis
girls had done with no tools but a
spade and a hoe and no help but their
own hands. He had no leisure (so he
growled) to cultivate and fertilize
ground for small fruits and no mono:
to pay a man to do it, yet here wa>

appetites of that couple of “great

hiring this year. He had stopped tb<

ip dally feor of a tempest of some sort
Coming In from the abed one morn
lng the met her father just Issuing
from the kitchen where Petty wa
standing like a young Fury In front of
the sink. “Father's been spying at tin
eggshells I settled the coffee with am

fairly murderous! You’d better no
leave me alone with him when I'm lla*
this. Oh, I know that I’m wicked, but
Isn't he wicked too, and who was wick
ed first?"
Patty’s benrt bad been set on earn
tng and saving enough pennies for a
jrhlte ruuslln dress, and every day ren
ffereti the prospect more uncertain.
Waitstill’s patience was flagging a
trifle, too, under the stress of the hot
days und the still hotter, breathless
nights. The suspicion crossed her mind
now and then that her fnther’s miser
ilness and fits of temper might hr’
caused by a mental malady over which
he now had little or no control, bar
ing never mastered himself in all his
life. Her power of endurance would
be greater, she thought, if onjy she
could be certain that this theory was
true, though her slavery would be Just
as galling.
It would be so easy for her to go
awuy and earn a living. She who had
never had a day of Illness in her life
she who could sew, knit, spin, weave
and cook. She could make enough
money In Blddeford or Portsmouth to
support herself and Patty, too, until
the proper work was found for both.
But there would be a truly terrible
conflict of wills, and such fierce nr
ralgnment of her unfllial conduct, such
bitter and caustic argument from her
father, auch disapproval from the par
son and the neighbors, that her verj
soul shrank from the prospect. If she
could go alone and have no responsible
ity over Patty’s future, that would be
a little more possible, but she must
think wisely for two.
And bow could she leave Ivory
when there might perbnps come a crl
sis in bis life where she could be use
ful to him? How could she cut her
self oil from those Sundays in the
choir, those dear, fugitive glimpses of
him in the r«nd or at prayer meeting?
They were only sips of happiness
where her thirsty heart yearned foi
long, deep drafts, but they were im
measurably better than nothing.
Freedom from her father’s heavy
yokAfreedom to work and read and
sing and study and grow—oh, how slit
longed for this! But at what a cost
would she gain it If she bod to barboi
tbs guilty conscience of an undutifu
and rebellious daughter and at tilt
same time cut herself off from the
slght of the one being she loved best
In all the world!
She felt drawn toward Ivory's moth
er (today. Three weeks had passed
since her talk with Ivory in the
churchyard, but there had been no pos
sibllity es an hour’s escape from home
She was at liberty this nfternoon
relatlvely at liberty, for, although hei
work, as usual, was laid out for her, it
could be made up somehow or other
before nightfnll. She could drive ovoi
to the Boyntons' place, hitch her horse
ln the woods near the house, make hei
visit, yet be in plenty of time to go up
to the river field and bring her father
home to supper.
Patty was over at Mrs. Abel Day’s
learning a new crochet stitch and help
lng her to start a log cabin quilt
Ivory and Uodtnnn she knew were
both away in the Wilson hnyfleld. No
time would ever be more favorable

CHAPTER XII.
Uncle Bart Disooursea
UNCLK BAItT and Cepbae were
taking their nooning hour un
der the Nod head apple tree
as Wnltstll! passed the join
er’s shop and went over the bridge.
“Uncle Bart might somehow guess
where I am going,” she thought "hut
even If he did he would never tell any
one.”
“Where's Waltstlll bound this after
Boon, I wonder?” drawled Cephas, rls
lng to his feet and looking after the
departing team. “That reminds me
I’d better run up to Baxter's and see
If anything's wunted before I open the
store.”
"It It makes any dirreDce,” said hit*
father dryly as he filled his pipe, “Pat
ty’s over to MU' Day’s spendlu’ the
afternoon. Don't s'poss you want to
call on the pig, do you? He’s the only
one to home.”
Cephas made no remark, but gave
his trousers a hitch, picked up a chip
opened his Jackknife and, sitting down
on the greensward, began Idly whit
tllng the bit of wood Into shape.
“I kind o' wish you’d let me make the
new ell two story, father. 'Twooldu't
be much work; take It In slock time
after bayin'.”
"Land o' liberty! What do you warn
to do that for, Cephas? You 'bout pes
tered the life out o' me giftin' me to
build the ell In the first place when
we didn't need it no more’n a toad
does a pockctbook. Then nothin
would do but you must paint It
though 1 shan't be able to have tin
main bouse painted for another year
so the old wine sn' the new bottle etdi
by side looks like the old driver an <
'
“1 Will not bear it.’*
makes us a laughln'stock to the vil
lage, an' now you want to change the
thing into a two story! Never lieerd
auch a crazy idee in my life.”
"I want to settle down,” insisted
Cephas doggedly.
“Well, settle —I'm willin’! I told you
that afore you painted the ell. Ain’t
two rooms, 14 by 14, enough for you
to settle down in? If they ain’t, I
guess your mother’d give you one o
the chambers in the main part.”
“She would if I married Phoebe Day.
but I don't want to marry Phoebe.’
argued Cephas. "And mother’s gone
and made a summer kitchen for her
self out in the ell a’ready. I bet yer
she'll never move out if I should want
to move in on a sudden.”
"I told you you was tnkin’ that risk
when you cut a door through from the
main part,” said his father genially.
“If you hadn’t done that your mother
would ’a’ had to gone round outside to
git inf the ell, and mebbe she’d 'a'
stayed to home when it stormed, any
how. Now your avife’ll have her
troopin’ in an’ out, in an’ out, the
whole ’durin’ time.”
“I only cut the door through to please
mother, so’t she’d favor my gittln'
married, but I guess’t won’t do no
good. You see, father, what 1 was
thinkin’ of is, a girl would mebbe
jump at a two story, four roomed ell
when she wouldn’t look at a smaller
place.”
"’Pends upon whether the girl’s the
jumpin' kind or not Hadn’t yon bet
ter git everything fixed up with the
•no you’ve picked out afore you take
your good savin's and go to bulidin' a
bigger place for her?”
“I’ve asked her once a’ready,” Ce
phas allowed with a burning face. “1
don’t s’pose you know the one i
mean?”
“No kind of an idee,” responded his
father with a quizzical wink that was
lost on. the young man, as his eyes
were fixed upon his whittling. "Does
■he belong to the village?”
“I ain’t goin’ to let folks know who
I’ve picked out tilt I git a little mite
forrarder,” responded Cephas craftily
"Say, father, it’s all rigbt to ask a girl
twice, ain’t It?”
“Certain it Is, my son. I never heerd
there was any special limit to the num
ber o’ times you could ask ’em, and
their power o’ sayln’ ‘No’ is like the
mercy of the Lord—it endureth for
ever. You wouldn’t consider a widder,
Cephas? A wldder’d be a good com
p’ny keeper for your mother.”
“I baln’t put my g#»d savin’s into
an ell Jest to marry a comp’ny keeper
for mother,” responded Cephas huffily.
"I want to be No. 1 with my girl and
•tart right In ou trainin’ her up to
suit me.”
“Well, If trainin’'s your object you'd
better take my advice an’ keep It dark
before marriage, Cephas. It’s astonish
In’ how the female sect despises bein’
trained. It don’t hardly seem to be In
tbelr nature to make any changes In
’emselves after they once gits started.”
“How are you goin’ to live with ’em,
then?” Cephas Inquired, looking up
with Interest coupled with some in
credulity,
“Let them do the trainin’,” respond
ed bis father, peacefully puffing out
the words with bis pipe between hW
lip*. “Some of 'em') mild and gentle
In discipline, like Parson Boone's wife
or Mis’ Timothy Grant, ami others is
strict and firm like your mother and
Mis’ Abel Day. If you happen to git
the first kind, why, do as they tell you.
and thank the Lerd ’taln’t any worse.
If you git the second kind Jest let ’em
put the blinders on you and trot as
straight as you know how, without
sbyln’ nor kickin’ over the traces, nor
boltin', ’cause they've got control o'
tho bit and ’taln’t no use fightln' ag'ln'
their superior strength. So fur as you
can judge. In the early stages o' the
game, my non—which ain’t very fur—
which kind have you picked out?"
Cephas whittled on for some mo
ments without a word, but finally, with
a sigh drawn from the very toes of
his boots, be responded gloomily:
“Bbe’s awful spunky, tho girl Is; any
body can see that; but she’* a young
thing, and I thought bein’ married
would kind o’ tarns her down!”

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—Little or no change from
the opening decline occurred during the
morning session of the stock exchange.
Home stocks made slight recovery, while
others fell back from sheer inertia. Many
of tho semi-active Issues were not
quoted at all. Missouri Pacific lost al
moia a point end receivership rumors
were revived. United States Steel, Read
ing, Lehigh Valley, New Haven and
Amalgamated were ur»der moderate
pressure, but Reading soon regained its
loss.
The apathy of the morning was fol
lowed by complete stagnation in the
afternoon. I>ondon sold a few thousand
shores here, but the holidays In Paris
and Berlin naturally restricted foreign
operations. Further transfers of cur
rency to the Pacific coast were reported
and still higher rates for foreign ex
change pointed quite clearly to Europe's
insistent demand for our gold.
Bonds were irregular.

ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA’
'8 REEL PICTURE AT BIJOU
Wonderful Photo Drama to Be
Shown Here Monday and
Tuesday at 10 and 20 Cent
Prices.
In George Kleine’s magnificent photo
drama production of “Antony and Cleo
patra,” which is announced for next
Monday and Tuesday at the Bijou, priocH
10 and 2ft cents, iho Cines Company en
deavors to carry out Plutarch’s descrip
tion of the arrival of Cleopatra at Tar
sus and her first meeting with Antony:
“She was sailing tranquilly along
the Cydnus, on a bark with a golden
stern, with sails of purple and oars
of silver, and the dip of the oars was
rhymed to the sound of flutes,
blending with music of lyres. She
herself, the Queen, wondrously clad
as Venus is pictured, was lying un
der an awning gold embroidered.
Boys dressed as Cupids stood at her
side, gently waving fans to refresh
her. Her maidens, every one beau
tiful and clad as a Naiad or a Grace,
directed the boat, some at the rud
der other at the ropes. Both banks
of the stream were sweet with the
perfumes burning on the vessel."
The Cines Company have pictorially
reproduced Plutarch’s description, and
tHe luxurious, languorous note of the
Orient and its splendors is realized nil
through the photo drama. It is this
feature that makes It so different from
anything that lias preceded la and It
gives it the stamp of awe inspiring
grandeur.
