“1 he Story of Waitstill Baxter”
Co pyrlsht, 1013, by
Kate Douglas Wiggin
Author of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
PROLOGUE.
* Strength and interest of qui ,
lives in the Neiv England c
three-quarters of a century ag
provide the framework of “Th.
Story of Waitstill Baxter.” The
is the skeleton. The flesh am
blood of human beings, livim
and loving and moving in a worlc
of their own that is a miniature
picture of the greater world oat
side, are also there. The story
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 Englanc
are many men and women lik,
Waitstill and Patience Baxte;
and their father, Ivory Boyntor
and his afflicted mother am
funny Cephas Cole, who woo.
hopefully, but with small chanc
of success. They find their way
into books but seldom, for ii
takes a master hand to describi
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.)
‘lt kind o' makes me nervous to be
named Rod, Aunt Boynton," said the
boy, looking up from the Bible. “All
the rods in these Exodus chapters do
such dreadful things! They become
serpents, and one of them swallows up
ail the others, and Moses smites the
waters with a rod, and they become
blood, and the people can’t drink the
water and the fish die! Then they
stretch a rod across the streams and
ponds and bring a plague of frogs over
the land, with swarms of files and bor
rible insects."
"That was to show God's power to
Pharaoh and melt hfs hard heart to
obedience and reverence." explained
Mrs. Boynton, who had known the
Bible from cover to cover in her youth
and could still give chapter and verst
for hundreds of her favorite passages.
“It took an awful lot of melting, Pha
raoh’s heart!” exclaimed the boy.
“Pharaoh must have been worse that
Deacon Baxter! 1 wonder if they evei
tried to make him good by being klnu
to him! I’ve read and read, but I
can’t find they used anything on. him
but plagues and famines and boils and
pestilences and thunder and hail and
Are! Have I got a middle name. Aunt
Boynton, for I don't like Rod very
much ?’
“I never heard that you had a middle
name; you must ask Ivory,” said his
aunt abstractedly.
“Did my father name me Rod, or mj
toother?” ,
“I don’t really know. Perhaps It was
your mother, but don't ask questions,
please."
“I forgot, Aunt Boynton! Tee, 1
think perhaps my mother named me
Mothers ’most always name their ba
bles, don’t they? My mother wasn't
like you, she looked Just like the pic
ture of Pocahontas in my history. 8b
never knew about these Bible rods, I
guess.”
“When you go a little further you
will find pleasanter things about rods.'
said his aunt, knitting, knitting In
tensely, as was her habit, and talking
as if her mind were 1,000 miles away
“You know they were Just llttlf
branches of trees, and it was onl.t
God's power that made them wonder
ful in any way.”
“Oh! I thought they were like tk<
singing teacher's stick be keeps tlim
with.”
“No; If you look at your concordant
you’ll And it gives you a chapter In
Numbers where there’s somethin:'
beautiful about rods. I have forgottei
the place. It has been many year
since I looked at It. Find It and rear
it aloud to me.” The boy searched bb
concordance and readily found the ref
erence in the 17th chapter of Numbers
“Stand near me and read,” said Mrs
Boynton. “1 like to bear the Blbl<
read aloud!”
Rodman took his Bible and read
slowly and haltingly, but with clear
ness and understanding:
“1. And tbe Lord spake unto Moses
saying,
KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN
,T 2. Speak unto the children of Israel,
and take of every one of them a rod
according to the house of their fathers
of all their princes according to tin
house of their fathers twelve rods
write thou every man’s name upon Ills
rod.”
Through the boy’s mind there darted
the flash of a thought, a sad thought
He himself was a Hod on whom nc
man’s name' seemed to be written, or
phan that he was. with no kuowledgi
of his parents!
Suddenly he hesitated, for he had
caught sight of the unrae of Aaron iu
the verse that he was about to read
and did not wish to pronounce it In
his aunt's hearing.
“This chapter is most too hard foi
me to jend out loud, Aunt Boynton,”
he stammered. "Can I study it by my
self and read It to Ivory first?”
“Go on, go on. you read very sweet
ly. 1 cannot remember what comes
and 1 wish to hear it.”
The boy continued, but without rals
lng his eyes from the Bible:
“8. And thou shalt write Aaron's
name upon the rod of Levt: for one rod
shall be for the bead of the house of
their fathers.
“4. And thou shalt lay them up in
the tabernacle of the congregation be
fore the testimony, where I will meet
with you.
“5. And it shall come to pass that
the man’s rod, whom 1 shall choose
[||P^223Si
Rodman Took His Bible and Read.
shall blossom: and 1 will make to cease
from me the murmurings of the chll
Uren of Israel, whereby they murmur
against you.”
Rodman had read on, absorbed in
the stpry and the picture it presented
to bis imagination. He liked the idea
of all the princes having a rod accord
lng to the house of their fathers. He
liked to think of the little branches
being laid on the altar in the taber
nacle, and above all he thought of the
longing of each of the princes to have
his own rod chosen for the blossom
ing.
“6. And Moses spoke unto the chil
dren of Israel, and every one of their
princes gave him a rod apiece, for each
prince one. according to their father’s
bouses, even twelve rods; and the rod
of Aaron was among their rods.”
Oh! bow the boy hoped that Aaron’s
branch would be the one chosen to
blossom! He felt that his aunt would
be pleased, too. but he read on steadily,
with eyes that glowed and breath that
came and went In a very palpitation
of Interest:
”7. And Moses laid np the rods be
fore the Lord in the tabernacle of wit
ness.
”8. And it came to psss, that on the
morrow Moses went into the taber
nacle of witness: and. heboid, the rod
of Aaron was budded and brought
forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and
yielded almonds.’’
It was Aaron's rod, then, and was an
almond branch! How beautiful, for
the blossoms would have been pink
and how the people must have mar
veiled to see the lovely blooming thing
on the dark tiltar, flrat budding, then
blossoming, then benring nuts! And
what was the rod chosen for* He bur
ried on to the next verse:
“8. And M.>.e« brought out nil th<
rods from before the Lord unto all tin
children of Israel: and they looked, urn
took every man bis rod.
"10. And the l.ord said uuto Moses
Bring Aaron's rod again before the tes
tlmony to be kept for a token against
the rebels; and thou shalt quite takt
away their murmurings from me, that
they die not.”
“Oh, Auut Boynton,” cried the boy.
"I love my name after I’ve heard about
the almond rod! Aren't you proud that
it’s uncle’s name that was written on
the one that blossomed?"
He turned swiftly to find that his
aunt's knitting had slipped on the
floor; her nerveless hands drooped by
her side as If there were no life In
them, and her head had fallen agatns'
the back of her chair. The boy was
paralyzed with fear at the sight of her
closed eyes and the deathly' pallor ol
her face. lie had never seen her like
this before, and Ivory was away. He
flew for a bottle of spirit, always kepi
In the kitchen cupboard for emergen
cies, and throwing wood on the Are In
passing, he swung the crane so thai
the tea kettle was over the flame. ll<
knew only the humble remedies that
he had seen used here or there in ill
ness and tried them timidly, praying
every moment that he might hear
Ivory’s step. He warmed a soapstone
in the embers and, taking off Mrs
Boynton’s shoes, put it under her cold
feet. He chafed her hands and gently
poured a spAonful of brandy between
her pale lips. Then, sprinkling cam
phor on a handkerchief, he held it to
her nostrils, and to his joy she stirred
in her chair; before muuy minutes her
lids fluttered, her lips moved, and she
put her hand to her heart,
“Are you better, aunt dear?” Rod
asked in a very wavering and tearful
voice.
She did not answer; she only opened
her eyes and looked at him. At length
she whispered faintly, “I want Ivory;
I want my son.”
“H 's out. aunt dear. Shall I help
you to bed the way Ivory does? If
you’ll let me. then I’ll run to the bridge
’cross lots like lightning and bring him
back.”
She assented and, leaning heavily on
his slender shoulder, walked feebly
into her bedroom off the living room
Rod was ns gentle as a mother, and he
was familiar with all the little offices
that could be of any comfort—the
soapstone warmed again for her feet,
the bringing of her nightgown from
the closet and when she was in bed
another spoonful of brandy in hot
milk; then the camphor by her side, an
extra homespun blanket over her and
the door left open so that she could see
the open tire that he made into a
cheerful huddle, contrived so that it
would not snap and throw out danger
ous sparks iu his absence.
All the while he was doing this
Mrs. Boynton lay quietly in the bed
talking to herself fitfully in the fnlnt
murmuring tone that was habitual to
her. He could distinguish scarcely
anything, only enough to guess that
her mind was still on the Bible story
that he wns reading to her when she
fainted. “The rod of Aaron was
among the other rods,” he heard her
say, and a moment later, “Bring An
ron’s rod agnin before the testimony."
Was it his uncle’s name that had so
affected her? wondered the boy. al
most sick with remorae, although he
had tried his best to evade her com
mand to read the chapter aloud. Whni
would Ivory, his hero, his pattern and
example, say? It had always been
Rod's pride to carry his little share of
every burden that fell to Ivory, to be
faithful and helpful In every task glv
en to him. He could walk through
lire without flinching, he thought. If
Ivory told him to, and he only prayed
that he might not be held responsible
for this new calamity.
“I want Ivery!” came In a feeble
rolce from the bedroom.
“Does your side ache worse?" Rod
asked, tiptoeing to the door.
“No. I am quite free from pain.”
"Would you be afraid to stay alone
Just for awhile if I lock both doors
and run to find Ivory and bring him
back?"
“No. I will sleep,” she whispered,
closing her eyes. “Bring him quickly
before I forget what I want to say to
him.”
Rod sped down the lane and over
the fields to tbe brick store where
Ivory usually bought his groceries
His cousin was not there, but one of
the men came out and offered to take
his horse and drive over the bridge to
see if he were at one of the neighbors'
on that side of the river. Not a word
did Rod breathe of his aunt's Illness;
be simply said that she was lonesome
for Ivory, and so be came to find him
In five minutes they saw the Boynton
horse bitched to a tree by tbe roadside,
and In a trice Hod called him and.
thanking Mr. Blxby, got Into Ivory’s
wagon to wait for him. He tried bis
best to explain tbe situation as they
drove along, but finally concluded by
saying: “Aunt really made me read the
chapter to her. Ivory. I tried not to
when I saw uncle's name in moet ev
ery verse, but I couldn't help It”
“Of course you couldn't! Now you
Jump out nnd hlfcb the horse while 1

pened while she’s been left alone
Perhaps you'll have to go for Dr. Per

NEW YORK JSTOCK MARKET
New York.— Although there wns no
pieasur© to sell stocks today, prices
moved toward o lower level hs the ses
sion advanced. The federal government's
altitude in the mattev of anti-trunt leg
islation and railroad Invosllnations was
regarded as somewhat fllsooneertng.
St. Paul softened in connection with
Its new financing and Now Haven's
weakness came from obvious onuses, ns
did also that of Baltimore* end Ohio
and New York rentral. Of all the bet
tor known Issues, Rending alone held
fairly steady.
Conditions were unchnnged during the
mid-session except for substantial gains
In a few specialties, including Reel Sug
ar, whch rose 2 points on Reports of nn
advance In the raw product. London sold
moderately put persistently here, chiefly
of steel.
Bonds wore easy.
The market closed steady. Tn final
dealings prices of leading issues rose to
their best.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago.—Although rumors that shorts
might suffer a sjiusese today in tho
wlioat pit aroused* considerable interest,
developments seemed to point tho other
way. The fact that this was the last
day for delivery on May contracts form
ed the chief basis for predictions that
the market would tighten to an uncom
fortable degree. Prices opened the same
us last night to 3-8 higher In sympathy
with firm cables. There was a slight
further advance and then all of the gain
was gradually wiped out.
Further rains in Argentine grave corn
a lift. The opening, which was un
changed to 3-8 higher, was followed by
an additional bulge except in May, for
which there seemed to be but little de
mand.
Complaints of continued crop damage
despite recent rains put strength Into
oats.
Provisions were Inclined to sag with
prices at the yards.
May wheat whs amply supplied
throughout, the session. Prices finished
easy, 1- Bto 1-4aß-8 under last night.
In the last hour May ''orn rose sharp
ly on account of belated covering by
shorts. The close was at 74, a rlso of
3 1-4 over last night. x
