TUESDAY''. m\( 12?. “The Story of Waitstil! Baxter” '''' ' Copyright, 1913, by DOUGLAS WIGGIN Kate Douglas Wiggin Author of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" 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. * “You certainly must have got rid of a good deal of temi>er this morning by the way your rid” -loindori" (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) WAR NOTE.

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 as “The Man with tho Million Dollar Laugh.” "Sour Grapes" Tonight. Tonight it is expected that there will tie more than three thousand people present to hear Edward Amherst Ott’s famous lecture on “Sour Grapes." His lectures are bearing fruit In the way of advanced legislation for the bet terment of the American people. His lecture on "Sour Grapes,” which treats of marriago nnd divorce, has been given nearly 2,000 times. In one of tlie states where it was given the leg islator who introduced a reform mar riage bill said ho received his inspi ration to do so from hearing Mr. Ott’s address. Hut, whether he delivers this lecture or one of his other subjects, he Is always alike, forceful, entertain ing and Inspiring. He has appeared before more than 3,000 audiences In America, nnd more than 2,500 copies of his hooks have been sold. Amer ican audiences run scarce get enough of this man nnd !>lh purposeful ora tory. Although known as tho pur poseful orator nnd author, Mr. Ott combines much of humor nnd enter tainment In each of his lectures. Tho Harmony Concert Company will also be heard this evening.
