greatest living woman novelist.
Amid the hills of New Englarn
are many men and women lit.
Waitstill and Patience Baxi,
and their father, Ivory Boynlo
and his afflicted mother an<
funny Cephas Cole, who woo
hopefully, but with small chanc
of success. They find their wa

takes a master hand to describ

why “The Story of Waitstii <
Baxter" has won highest praisi

book when they see one.
(Continued From Yesterday.)
Ivory went in wuli l'ear and treui
bling, for there was no sound save tin
ticking of the tall clock. The fire burn
ed low upon the hearth, and the dot)
was open into his mother’s room. H*
lifted n candle that Rod had left read,
on the table and stole softly to her bed
side. She was sleeping like a child
but exhaustion showed itself in evert
line of her face. He felt her hand)
and feet and found the soapstone in
the bed, saw the brandy bottle and
the remains of a cup of milk on the
light stand, noted the handkerchief
still strong of camphor, on the counter
pane and the blanket spread careful!)
over her knees, and then turned np
provingly to meet Rod stealing into tin
room on tiptoe. Ills eyes big with fear.
“We won’t wake her. Rod. I’ll watch
awhile, then sleet on the sitting room
lounge.”
“Let me watch, Ivory! I’d feel bet
ter if you’d let me,'honest I would!"
The boy’s face was drawn with aux
iety. Ivory’s attention was attracted
by the wistful eyes and the beauty ol
the forehead under the dark hair. Hi
seemed something more than the child
of yesterday—a care and responsibility
and expense for all his loving obedi
ence; he seemed all at once different
tonight—older, more dependable, more
trustworthy—ln fact, a positive comfort
and help In time of trouble.
“I did the best I knew how. Was
anything wrong?" asked the boy. as
Ivory stood regarding him with a
friendly smile.
“Nothing wrong, Rod! Dr. Perry
couldn’t have done any better with
what you had on baud. I don’t knou
how I should get along without you
boy!” Here Ivory patted Rod’s shoul
der. “You’re-not a child any longer
Rod; you’re a man and a brother, that’s
what you are, and to prove It I’ll take
the first wutch and call you up at 1
o’clock to take the second so that I
can be ready for my school work to
morrow. How does that suit'you?”
“Tiptop!” said the boy. flushing wit!
pride. “I’ll lie down with my clothe
on; It’s only 0 o’clock and I’ll get foni
hours' sleep: that’s a lot more thai

“Ivory would be the prince of oui
house," he thought “Oh. how I’d llkt

one that was chosen to blossom and
keep the rebels from murmuringl”
CHAPTER XIX.
Lois Buriss Her Dead.
THE replies that Ivory had re
ceived from his letters of In
qulry concerning his father'*
movements since leaving
Maine and his possible death In the
west left no reasonable room for doubt
Traces of Aaron Boynton in New
Hampshire, iu Massachusetts, in New
York and finally in Ohio all pointed in
one direction, and. although there were
gaps and discrepancies iu the account
of his doings, the fact of his death
seemed to lie established by two ap
parently reliable w itnesses.
That he was not unaccompanied in
his earliest migrations seemed clear,
but the woman mentioned as his wife
disappeared suddenly from the reports
and the story of his last days was the
story of a broken down, melancholy
unfriended man, dependent for the last
offices on strangers. He left no mes
sages and no papers, said Ivory’s cor
respondent and never made mention
of any family connections whatsoever
He had no property and no means of
defraying the expenses of his illness
after he was stricken with the fever
No letters were found among his pool
effects and no article that could prove
his identity, unless it were a small
gold locket, which bore no initials or
marks of any kind, but which contain
ed two locks of fair and brown hair,
intertwined. The tiny trinket was en
closed in the letter, as of no value, un
less some one recognized It as a keep
sake.
Ivory read the correspondence with
a heavy heart, inasmuch as it corrob
orated all bis worst fears. He had
sometimes secretly hoped that his fa
ther might return and explain the ren
son of his silence or In lieu of that
that there might come to light the sto
ry of a pilgrimage, fanatical perhaps
but Innocent of evil intention, one thai
could be related to his wife and hi
former friends and then buried forevei
with the death that had euded it.
Neither of these hopes could nou
ever be realized nor his father’s memo
ry made other than a cause for end
less regret, sorrow and shame. Hi

and intelligence and. while still youir.
in years, a considerable success in hi:
chosen profession. His poor father
What could have been the reasons foi
so complete a downfall?
Ivory asked Dr. Ferry’s advice abou
showing one or two of the briefer let
ters and the locket to his mother. Alt
er her fainting fit and the exhaustloi
fbat followed It. Ivory begged her R
see the old doctor, but without aval!
Finally, after days of pleading, he tool,
her hands In his and said: “I do every
thing a mortal man can do to be i;
good son to you, mother. Won’t yoi
do this to please me and trust that i
know what Is best?” Whereupon sin
gave a trembling assent, as If shi
were agreeing to something lndescrlb
ably painful, and. Indeed, this sight oi
a former friend seemed to frighten hei
strangely.
After Dr. Perry had talked with hei
for a half hour and examined her suf
flciently to make at least a reasonable
guess as to her mental and physical
condition, he advised Ivory to break
the news of her husband's death to
her.
“If you can get her to comprehend
It,” he said, “ It Is bound to be a relief
from this terrible suspense.”
“Will there Ire any danger of maklDg
her worse? Mightn’t the shock cause
too violent emotion?” asked Ivory anx
lously.
“I don’t think she Is any longer ca
pable of violent emotion.” the doctor
answered. “Her mind Is certainly
clearer than it was three years ago
but her body Is nearly burned awaj
by the mental conflict. There Is scarce
ly any part of her but Is weary
weary unto death, poor soul! One can
not look at her patient, lovely face
without longing to lift some part of
her burden. Make a trial. Ivory. It’s
a justifiable experiment, and I think It
will succeed. I must not come an)
oftener myself than Is absolutely neces
sary. She seemed afraid of me.”
The experiment did succeed. Lois
Boynton listened breathlessly with
parted lips and with apparent eompre
benslon to the story Ivory told her

clearly, so that there should be no con
sequent bewilderment She was calm
and silent, though her face showed
that she was deeply moved. She broke
down only when ivory showed her the
locket
“I gave It to my husband when yoi
were born, my son!" she sobbed. “Aft
er all, it seems no surprise to me ttin

away from us for six months without
writing. That is the reason I have
seldom watched for him these lasi
weeks. I must have known that it
was no use.”
She rose from her rocking chair and
moved feebly toward her bedroom
“Can you spare me the rest of the
day, Ivory?” she faltered as she leaned
on her son and made her slow progress
from the kitchen. “I must bury the
body of my grief and 1 want to be
alone at first. If only I could see Wait
still! We have both thought this was
coming; she has a woman’s instinct;
she is younger and stronger than 1
am and she said It was braver not to
watch and pine and fret as I have
done, but to have faith .in God that lie
would send me a sign when he was
ready. She said if I could manage to
be braver you would be happier too.’
Here she sank on to her bed exhaust
ed, but slill kept up her murmuring
faintly and feebly between long inter
vals of silence.
“Do you think Waitstill could come
tomorrow?" she asked. “I am so much
braver when she is hero with me

If I were going to bury your father,
and I want to be alone.”
*******
New England’s annual pageant of
autumn was being unfolded day by
day in all its accustomed splendor, and
the feast and riot of color, the almost
unimaginable glory, was the common
property of the whole countryside, rich
and poor, to be shared alike if per
chance all eyes were equally alive to
the wonder and the beauty.
Waitstill Baxter went as often as
she could to the Boynton farm, though
never when Ivory was at home, and
the affection between the younger and
the older woman grew closer and
closer, so that it almost broke Wait
still’s heart to leave the fragile crea
ture when her presence seemed to
bring such complete peace and joy.
“No one ever clung to me so before.’’
she often thought as she was hurrying
across the fields after one of her half
hour visits. “But the end must come
before long. Ivory does not renlizo It
yet, nor Rodman, but it seems as if she
could never survive the long winter
Thanksgiving day is drawing nearer
and nearer, and how little I am able
to do for a single creature to prove to
God that I nm grateful for my exist
encel I could, if only I were free,
make such a merry day for Patty and
Mark and their young friends. Oh.
what joy if father were a man who
would let me set a bountiful table in
our great kitchen; would sit at the
head and say grace and we could bow
our heads over the cloth, a united fam
lly, or if I had done my duty in my
home and could go to that other, where
lam so needed—go with my father's
blessing! All the woman in me is
wustlng. wasting. Oh, my dear, deur
man, how I long for him! Oh, my
own dear man, my helpmate, shall 1
ever live by his side? I love him, 1
want him, I need him! And my dear
little unmotbered, unfathered boy, how
happy I could make him! How 1
should love to cook and sew for them
all and wrap them in comfort!* How I
should love to smooth my dear moth
er’s last days, for she is my mother in
spirit, in affection, In desire and in be
ing Ivory’s!”
Waitstill’g longing, her discourage
ment, her helplessness, overcame her
wholly, and she flung herself down
under a tree In the pasture in a very
passion of sobbing, a luxury in which
she could seldom afford to Indulge her
self. The luxury was short lived, for
in five minutes she heard Rodman's
voice, and heard him running to meet
her as he often did when she came to
their house or went away from it, dog
ging her footsteps or Patty’s whenever
or wherever he could waylay them.
“Why, my dear, dear Waity, did you
tumble and hurt yourself?” the boy
cried.
“Yes, dreadfully, but I’m better now
so walk along with me and tell me the
news, Rod.”
“There Isn’t much news. Ivory told
you I’d left school and am studying
at home? He helps me evenings and
I’m ’way ahead of the class.”
“No, Ivory didn't tell me. I haven't
seen him lately.”
"I said if the big brother kept school
the little brother ought to keep house,”
laughed the boy. “lie says 1 can hire
out as a cook pretty soon! Aunt Boyn
ton’s ’most always up to get dinner
and supper, but I can make lots ot
things uow—things that Aunt Boyn
ton can eat too.”
“Oh, I cannot bear to have you and
Ivory cooking for yourselves!” exclaim
ed Waitstill, the tears starting aguln
from her eyes. “I must come over the
next time when you are at home, Rod
and I can help you make something
nice for sn nper.”

Making Farm Life
Attractive
The question of making farm life at
tractive to tho boys and girls who are
raised on the farm is one that has
been widely discussed. Thoughtful and
observant people who have manifested
interest In this question have express
ed alarm over the fact that the young
people aro leaving tho farm ami seek
ing emplnyment in the cities. Tho last
census shows that in some of tho ru
ral sections (he population had de
creased and that in tho cities it hail
Increased, indicating that for some
common cause people living on the
farms have been seeking homes In tho
cities.
Various theories have been advancel
for tliiH, conspicuous among which
has been that the girls and boys in
farm life are not given tho chance that
they are led to believe they are offer
ed in city life; that they are not com
pensated as they deserve, and that op
portunities for dong for themselves
are meager.
Such marked Improvement is now
going on In farming, values In farm
lands and farm products having ad
vanced, and general conditions having
grown better and become more satis
factory to nil rural residents that It
seems the attraction would now ho to
the country rather than to tho city.
In some sections tho question of
keeping tho hoys and girls on tho farm
had become such a serious one that
It was deemed essential that some
thing lie done to make farm llfo more
attractive. In Ohio, It is related hy
the Farm and Fireside, that a great
change has been wrought In farm con
ditions hy the adoption of plans to give
that contentment and pleasure to ttic
people in the country districts that
they have been seeking In the cities.
A writer In that paper says:
“What had made the change? Just
this: the teachers had been given more
practical work to do In tho schools.
They had been giving (ho teaching a
farm slant. They had been working

happy. They had come to see that
there is just as fascinating work, just
as Intellectual work. Just as big work
in the country as any of them could
i xpect to get in the city—and much
higher work than most of them could
expect. I think sow farmers in that
county would begrudge high wages to
teachers doing that sort of work.
In France and Germany there are
farm colonies, In which the farmers
group together thoir dwellings, and
from these going each, morning to
their occupations. This mode of liv

which in lacking in the separate and
Isolated homes In the country.
