THURSDAY, MAY 21. “T he Story of Waif still Baxter” N Kate Doutflis Witfgin Author of “Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm** 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> food grown under bis very eye and ii did not belong to him! Tb# girls worked In tbelr gardei chiefly at sunrise in s|>rlng and earl.' inmnaer or after supper in the even ln«. All the same, Waltstill bad beei told by her father the day before tbsi ,*he was not only using ground, bin time that belonged to him, and that hi should expect her to provide “pie till lng” out of her garden patch durim. baying to help satisfy the ravenou appetites of that couple of “great forming, greedy lubbers” that be wa( hiring this year. He had stopped tb< peeling of potatoes before boiling be cause b 9 disapproved of the tblcknes es the parings he found In the plg> pell, and be stood over Patty at bei work In the kitchen nntll V/altstlll ws> 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 said I’d no business to leave so much Cond In the shell when I broke an egn I will not bear It He makee me fee 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 80. Instead of driving up Town House bill, when she returned to the village ■be kept on over the bridge. 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!” (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)

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. HOURLY TEMPERATURES P*urrf-e» 6 A. M 55 7 A. M 56 8 A. M 66 9 A.
