“The Story of Waitstil! Baxter”

PROLOGUE.
Strength and interest of quiet
lives in the New England a)
three-quarters of a century ago
provide the framework of “The
Story of Waitstill Baxter.” That
is the skeleton. The flesh and
blood of human beings, living
and loving and moving in a world
of their own that is a miniature
picture of the greater world out
side, are also there. The story
is a cross section of life as seen
and described by a woman who
has been well called “America’s
greatest living woman novelist."
Amid the hills of New England
are many men and women like
Waitstill and Patience Baxter
and their father, Ivory Boynton
and hie afflicted mother and
funny Cephas Cole, who woos
hopefully, but with small chance
of success. They find their way
into books but seldom, for it
takes a master hand to describe
faithfully the doings of real
people. And that is the reason
why “The Story of Waitstill
Baxter” has won highest praise
from critics who know a good
book when they see one.
(Continued from Yesterday.)
Where had those years of wandering
been passed, and had they all been
given even to an imaginary and fan
tastic service of God? Was his father
dead? If be were alive, what could
keep him from writing? Nothing but
a very strong reason or a very wrong
one, so his son thought at times.
Since Ivory had grown to man's es
tate be understood that in the later
days of Cochrane's preaching his “vi
sions,” “Inspirations" and “revela
tions” concerning the marriage bund
were a trifle startling from the old
fashioned, orthodox point of view. His
most advanced disciples were to bold
themselves in readiness to renounce
their former vows and seek “spiritual
consorts,” sometimes according to his
advice, sometimes as their inclinations
prompted.
Had Aaron Boynton .forsaken will
ingly the wife of his youth, the moth
er of his boy? If so be must have re
alized to what straits he was subject
ing them. Ivory had not forgotten
those first few years of grinding pov
erty, anxiety and suspense. His moth
er’s mind had stood the strain bravely,
but it gave way at last; not, however,
until that fatal winter Journey to New
Hampshire, when cold, exposure and
fatigue did their worst for her weak
body. Religious enthusiast, exalted and
impressionable, a natural mystic, she
had probably always been, far more so
In temperament. Indeed, than her bus
band; but, although she left home on
that Journey a frail and heartsick wo
man, she returned a different creature
altogether, blurred and confused In
mind, with clouded memory and lrra
tlonal fancies.
She must have given up hope Just
then. Ivory thought and her love was
so deep that when it was uprooted the
soil came with It. Now hope bad re
turned because the cruel memory had
faded altogether. She sat by the kltch
cn window in gentle expectation,
watching, always watching.
And this Ist the way many of Ivory
Boynton’s evenings were spent while
the heart of him, the flve-and-twenty
year-old heart of him. was longing to
feel the bent of another heart, a girl’s
heart ODly a mile or more away. Tin
ice in Saco water bad broken up and
the white blocks sailed majestlcalb
down toward the sea. Sap was mount
ing and the elm tree* were budding:
the trddllng arbutus was blossoming in
the woods: the robins had come—ev
erythlng was announcing the spring
yet Ivory sow no changing seasons in
his future; nothing but winter, eternal
winter there!
CHAPTER IV.
Patisncs and Impatianea.
PATTY had been searching for
eggs in the barn chamber and.
coming down the ladder from
the haymow, spied her father
washing the wagon by the wellalde
near the abed door. Cephas Cole kept
store for him at meal hours and when
ever trade was unusually brisk, and
the Baxter yard was so happily alt
uated that Old Foxy could watch hot!
house and store.
There never was a good time to as!
Deacon Baxter a favor, therefore thi
moment would serve as well as an.
other; so, approaching him near enough
to be heard through the rubbing anil
splashing, but no nearer than was nec
essary, Patty said:
“Father, can I go up to Ellen Wil
son’s this afternoon and stay for tea 7
I won’t start till I’ve done a good day’s
work, and I’ll come home early.”
“What do you want to go gallivantin
to the neighbors for? I never saw
anything like the girls nowadays
highty tighty, flauntin’, traipsin’, tri
flin’ trollops, ev’ry one of ’em, that’-
what they are. and Ellen Wilson’s on<
of the triflin’est. You’re old enougl
now to stay to home where you belon.
and make an effort to earn your boai >
and clothes, which you can’t, even ii
you try.”
Spunk, real Simon pure spunk, start
ed somewhere in Patty and coursed
through her blood like wine.
“If a girl’s old enough to stay at
home and work 1 should think she was
old enough to go out and play once in
awhile.” Patty was still too timid to
make this remark more than a cour
teous suggestion, so far as its tone
was concerned.
“Don’t answer me back! You’re full
of new tricks, aud you’ve got to stop
’em right where you are or there’ll be
trouble. You were whistlin’ Just now
up in the barn chamber. That’s one
of the things 1 won’t have around my
premises—a whistlin’ girl.”
“’Twas a Sabbath school hymn that
I was whistling!” This with a credits
ble imitation of defiance.
“That don’t make it any better. Sing
your hymns If you must make a noise
while you’re workln’.’’
“It’s the same mouth that makes tb>
wiiistle and sings the song, so 1 don’t
see why one’s any wickeder than the
other.”
“You don’t have to see,” replied th>
deacon grimly. “All you have to do k
to mind when you’re spoken to. Now
run ’long ’bout your work.”
“Oan’t I go up to Ellen's, then?”
“What’s goin’ ou up there?”
“Just a frolic. There’s always a good
time at Ellen’s, and I would so like the
sight of a big, rich house now aud
then!”
“ ‘Just a frolic!' Land o’ Goshen,
hear the girl! ‘Sight of a big, rich
house,’ indeed! Will there be any boys
at tbe party?”
“I s’pose so or ’twouldn’t be a frolic,”
said Patty, with awful daring, “but
there won’t be many—only a few of
Mark’s friends.”
"Well, there ain’t goln’ to be no more
argyfyln’! I won’t have any girl o’
mine frolickln' with boys, s* that’s the
end of It. You're kind o’ crazy lately,
rlggin' yourself out with a ribbon here
and a flower there and pullin’ your hair
down over your ears. Why do you
want to cover your ears up? What are
they for?”
“To hear you with, father,” Patty
replied, with honey sweet voice and
eyes that blazed.
“Well, I hope they’ll never hear any
thing worse,” replied her father, fling
ing a bucket of water over the last of
the wagon wheels.
”They couldn’t!" These words were
never spoken aloud; but. oh, how Patty
longed to shout them with a clarion
voice as she walked away in perfect
alienee, her majestic gait showing, she
hoped, how she resented the outcome of
the interview.
‘T’ve stood up to father!” she ex
claimed triumphantly as she entered
the kitchen and set down her yellow
bowl of eggs on tbe table. “I stood
up to him and answered him back
three times!”
Waitstil! was busy with her Satur
day morning cooking, but she turned
In alarm.
“Patty, wbat have you said and
done? Tell me quickly!”
“I ‘argyfled.* but It didn’t do any
good. He won’t let me go to Ellen’s
party.”
Waitstill wiped her floury hands and
put them on her sister's shoulders.
“Hear wbat I say, Patty: You must
not argue with father, whatever be
aaya. We don't love him and ao there
isn't tbe right respect In our hearts
but at least there can be respect In our
manners.”
“I don't believe I esn go on for year*
bolding in, Waltatlll!” Patty wblmp
ered.
“Yes, you can. I have!"
“You’re different Waltatlll.”
“I wasn't so different at sixteen, but
that'* five years ago, end I’ve got con
trol of my tongue and my temper since
then. perhaps, when I bav<
a grievance too grant to be rlghtlj
borne, sometime when you are awe;
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
from here hi a home of your own. 1
shall speak out to father; just empty
my heart of all the disappointment’
and bitterness and rebellion. Some
body ought to tell him the truth and
perhaps It will be me!”
Waitstill bent over tbe girl as she
flung herself down beside the table
and smoothed her shoulder gently.
“There, there, dear! It isn’t like my
gay little sister to yry. What is tbe
matter with you today, Patty?”
“I suppose It’s the spring,” she said,
wiping her eyes with her apron and
smiling through her tears. “Perhaps
I need a dose of sulphur and molasses.”
“Don't you feel well as common?”
“Weil? I feel too well! I feel as If
I was a young colt shut up in an at
tic. I want to kick up my heels, flut
ter the door down and get out iuto the
pasture. It’s no use talking, Walty.
I can’t go on living without a bit of
pleasure and 1 can’t go on being pa
tient even for your sake. If it weren’t
for you I'd run away as Job did, and
I never believed Moses slipped on the
logs. I’m sure he threw himself iuto
the river, and so should I if I had the
courage!”
“Stop, Patty, stop, dear! You will
have your bit of pasture at least I'll
do some of your Indoor tasks for you,
and you shall put ou your sunbonnPt
and go out and dig the dandelion
greens for dinner. Take the broken
knife and a milk pan. and don’t brln(f
In so much earth with them as you did
last time. Dry your eyes and look at
the green tliiugs growing. Remember
how young you are aud how many
years are ahead of you. Go along,
dear.”
Waitstill went about her work with
rather a heavy heart. Was life going
to be more rather than less difficult
now that Patty was growing up?
Would she be able to do her duty both
by father and sister and keep peace in
the household, as she had vowed in
her secret heart always to do? She
paused every now and then to look
out of the window and w T ave an en
couraging hand to Patty. The girl’s
bonnet was off, and her uncovered
head blazed like red gold in the sun
light. The short young grass was dot
ted with dandelion blooms, some of
them already grown to huge disks of
yellow, and Patty moved hither and
thither, selecting the younger weeds,
deftly putting the broken knife under
their roots and popping them into the
tin pan. Presently—for Deacon Baxter
had finished the wagon and gone down
tbe hill to relieve Cephas Cole at tbe
counter—Patty’s shrill young whistle
floated into the kitchen, but with a
mischievous glance at the open win
dow she broke off suddenly and began
to sing the words of the hymn with
rather more emphasis and gusto than
strict piety warranted:
There’ll be something in heav-en for chil
dren to do.
None are idle in that bless-ed land.
There’ll be work for the heart, there'll be
work for the mind
And employment for each little hand.
There'll be some-thlng to do,
There'll be some-thlng to do,
There’ll be some-thlng for chll-dren to do!
On that bright, blessed shore
Where there's Joy evermore
There'll be some-tbing for chil-dren to do
Patty’s youug existence being full to
the brim of labor, this view of heaven
never in the least appealed to her, and
she rendered the hymn with little sym
pathy. The main part of the verse
was strongly accented by jabs at the
unoffending dandelion roots, but when
tho chorus came she brought out tbe
emphatic syllables by a beat of the
broken knife on tbe milk pan.
This rendition of a Sabbath school
classic did not meet Waitstlll’s ideas
of perfect propriety, but she smiled
and let it pass, planning some sort of
recreation for a stolen half hour of the
afternoon. It would have to be a walk
through tbe pasture into the woods to
see wbat had grown since they went
there a fortnight ago. Patty loved peo
ple better than nature, but failing tbe
one she could put up with the other,
for she bad a sense of beauty and a
pagan love of color. There would be
pale hued Innocence and blue and
white violets In tbe moist places,
thought Waitstill, and they would have
them In a china cup on the supper ta
ble. No, that would never do, for last
time father bad knocked them over
when be was reaching for the bread
and in a silent protest against such
foolishness got up from tbe table and
emptied them into the kitchen sink.
“There's a place for everything,” he
said when he came back, “and tbe
place for flowers Is outdoors.”
Then In the pine woods there would
be, she was sure, Star of Bethlehem,
Solomon’s Seal, the white spray of
ground nuts and bunch berries. Per
haps they could make a bouquet, and
Patty would take It across the fields to
Mrs. Boynton's door. She need no{ go
In, and thus they would not be dis
obeying their fatber's command not to
visit that “crazy Boynton woman."
Here Patty came in with a panful
of greens, aud tbe sisters sat down In
tbe sunny wlDdow to get them ready
for the poL
“I’m calmer.” the little rebel allow
ed. “That's generally the way It turns
out with me. I get Into a rage, but 1
can generally slug It off. *

COTTON BELT WEATHER
Washington, D. C.—Summarizing the
effect of the weather in the cotton belt
for the week ending yesterday the Na

today says:
“The absence of rain permitted of
much farm work and vegetation of all
kinds made favorable progress except in
the more eastern portions, especially in
South Carolina, where drought and high
winds greatly damaged young cotton and
and other vegetation. In the western
portion of the belt much needed warm
and dry weather prevailed, especially In
Texas where excessive rains and con
tinued cold had greatly delayed growth of
vegetation and the usual farm work.**

FOLKS DON’T KNOW WHAT
THEY’RE MISSING AT
THE CHAUTAUQUA
Continued from page one.
the splendid lectures to be given this
week in Augusta under the great
Chautauqua tent on tho Richmond
Academy campus.
The morning lecturer is Chaplain C.
K. Varney, formerly of the United
States Army, a profound thinker and
devoted student of psychology and one
of the best lecturers on the American
stage. This morning he gave his first
lecture, speaking on “A Grappling
Hook.”
Something of Psychology.
Solid facts wore woven with humor
ous illustrations. He covered the
general field of phychology and show
ed that while the present form Is new,
the science Is ns old as man. The
section o’ the lecture on closing a bus
iness contract was greatly appreciated
by every man present and when ho
related this method to child-life, the
parents were greatly helped.
The closing thought was that the
mind works through a physical medi
um and tho best expression of self
can come only when wo are the best
physically.
The chaplain is a rare combination
of humor and science.
The morning lecture lasts about an
hour, beginning at XI o'clock.
Mr. Hunter, secretary of the Y. M.
C. A., under whose auspices the Chau
tauqua is showing here, this morning
secured the uso of the Richmond coun
ty court house grounds, which is di
rectly opposite tho Chautauqua tent,
for the children who attend tho Chau
tauqua for "Children’s Hour,” undor
Mias Vera J. Gillen, children's work
er. Children’s hour is at 4:30 o’clock
every day.
This Afternoon.
It was expected that a great many
people would attend tho afternoon's
entertainment today to hear the con
cert by the Harmony Concert Com
pany and the monologue. "That Print
er of Udell's.” by Everett Kemp.
Mr. Everett Kemp is a ndturnl
born entertainer. His humor Is deli
cious and to have the blues while
Kemp Is around is entirely out of the
question. Everybody In every walk of
life enjoys Kemp’s rendition of well
knows plays. In Galoy, New Mexico,
on one oeeaslon, Mr. Kemp gave .T.
G. Holland's beautiful story, “Seven
oaks.” A few days later he received
a lottcr of appreciation signed by a
score of people .Including clerks, en
gineers, a dentist, a banker, a well
driller, a coal dealer, a school super
intendent and others. The widely dif
ferent occupations and professions
represented by tho signers Illustrate
Mr. Kemp s ability to reach everyone
In his audiences. Mr. Kemp Is known

Among Ratto’s Impersonation*.
Among Ratto’s impersonations weTe
those of the Irish, the German, the
Italian, the tough character of tho
Bowery, the polished gentleman, the
schoolmaster, the farmer, the criminal
and others, in each of which the skit
rendered being Intensely interesting.
Tn all of his impersonations he
"made-up” on the stage in the eyes
of the audience. As a make-up artipt
he was great.
Mr. Ratio was here last year and
instead of being introduced to his au
dience by Secretary W. M. Hunter, of
the Y. M. C. A., he was merely pre
sented. His entrance caused hearty
applause, for many people under the
tent had heard him last season and
well knew what to expect.
