SATURDAY, MAY 30. “The Story of Waitsfill Baxter” WK(HN Kate Douglas Wigtfin f* * ' Author of “Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm" PROLOGUE. Strength and. interest of qui lives in the New England < three-quarters of a century a provide the framework of “7 Story of Waitstill Baxter. ” Th is the skeleton. The flesh a: blood of human beings, liviy and loving and moving in a wort, of their own that is a miniatur picture of the greater world ou side, are also there. The star is a cross section of life as sec and described by a woman wh has been well called “America 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 into books but seldom, for i takes a master hand to describ faithfully the doings of reu people. And that is the reasor why “The Story of Waitstii < Baxter" has won highest praisi from critics who know a gooc. 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 Napoleon used to have.” carried the Bible upstairs an< Just before be blew out his candle Id looked again at the chapter In N’um bers, thinking he would show it t' Ivory privately next day. Again thi story enchanted him, and again. Ilh. a child, he puts his own name and hi 1 living self among the rods In the tali •made. “Ivory would be the prince of oui house," he thought “Oh. how I’d llkt to be Ivory's rod and have It be the 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 father, who bad begun life so hand somely. with rare gifts of mind am personality, a wife of unusual benut.' 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 Over nnd over again he told her gen tly the story of her husband's death trying to make It sink Into her tqjnd 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 yoi# father Is dead. He said he wouit come back when the mayflower. bloomed, and when I suw the uuturni leaves 1 a.„ m.il mx mouths uhim have gone and lie would never sta., 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 After supper I will put away your father’s cup and plate once and for all, Ivory, and your eyes need never fill with tears again as they have sometimes -when you have seen me watching. You needn't worry about me; I am remembering better these days, and the bells that ring in mj ears are not so loud. If only the pain in my side were less and I were not so pressed for breath, I should be quite strong and could see everything clear ly ■at last There is something else that remains to be remembered. 1 have almost caught it once aud it must come to me again before long. Put the locket under my pillow. Ivory; close the door, plgpse, and leave me to my self. I can’t make It quite clear, my feeling about it, but it seems just as 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.” (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)

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 Atlantic Coast Line NOTE —These arrivnls nnd departures are given as Information.

Delegates Elected. Delegates to the annual convention of the rural carriers of ttie state of Georgia, which will he held at tho Kimball House, Atlanta, on July 3rd and 4th, were elected as follows: J. N. Nunn, Glasscock; A. D. l.uckey and B. R. Prim up. McDuffie; M H. Smith, Hancock; F. A. Strother, Lincoln; 6 S. Cobb, Washington; J. Overstreet, Jefferson: T. R. Kilmer, Richmond; It. B. Shivers, Warren, and R. B. Brown, Baldwin. in (ho schools on farm matters, and the girls had been studying rooking, sew ing and housekeeping and the coke, of the house and children. And they had forgotten about leaving the farm. They had been doing pleasant, Inter esting, practical work, and they were 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.
