team, arrived at the spot just as Se¬
lina, blocking the way, prepared to
back into the vacant space.
"Heh, get out of there you—" he
roared; then, for the first time, per¬
ceived In the dim light of the street
that his rival was a woman. He fal¬
tered, atared open-mouthed, tried other
tactics. "You can’t go la there,
missus.”
•Oh, yee, I can.” She backed her
team dexterously.
“Tea, we can 1” shouted Dirk in an
attitude of fierce belligerence.
"Where’s your man?" demanded the
defeated driver, glaring.
“Here,” replied Selina; put her hand
on Dirk's head.
The other, preparing to drive on, re
oelved this with incredulity. He as¬
sumed the existence of a husband In
the neighborhood—at Chris Spanknoe
bel’s probably, or talking prices with a
friend at another wagon when he
should be here attending to his own.
In the absence of tliis, her natural pro¬
tector, he relieved his disgruntled feel¬
ings as he gathered up the reins.
“Woman ain’t got no business here in
Haymarket, anyway. Better you’re
home night time in your kitchen where
you belong.”
This admonition, so glibly mouthed
by so many people in the past few
days, now was uttered once too often.
Selina’s nerves snapped.
“Don’t talk to me like that, you great
stupid! What good does it do a wom¬
an to stay home in her kitchen If
she’s going to starve there, and her
boy with her! Staying home In my
kitchen won’t earn me any money. I’m
here to sell the vegetables I helped
raise and I’m going to do it. Get out
of my way, you!”
Now she clambered over the wagon
wheel to unhitch the tired horses. It is
impossible to tell what Interpretation
the dumfounded north-sider put upon
her movements. Certainly he had
nothing to fear from this small gaunt
creature with the blazing eyes. Never¬
theless as he gathered up his reins ter¬
ror was writ large on his rubicund
face.
“Teufel! What a woman!” Was
off In a clatter of wheels and hoofs on
the cobblestones.
Selina unharnessed swiftly. “You
stay here, Dirk, with Pom. Mother’ll
be back In a minute." She marched
down the street driving the horses to
the barns where, for twenty-five cents,
the animals were to be housed In more
comfort than their owner.
She was back soon. “Come, Dirk.”
"Are we going to sleep herel” He
was delighted.
“Eight here, all snug In the hay, like
campers.”
The boy lay down, wriggling, laugh¬
ing. “Like gypsies. Ain’t It, mom?"
“ Isn’t It,’ Dirk—not ain’t It.’ ” The
school teacher.
She lay down beside him, put one
arm around him and drew him to her,
close. And suddenly he was asleep,
deeply. The street became quieter.
The talking and laughter ceased. The
lights were dim at Chris Spanknoebel’s.
Selina lay looking up at the sky.
There were no tears in her eyes. She
was past tears. She thought, “Here
I am, Selina Peake, sleeping in a
wagon, In the straw, like a dog with
its puppy snuggled beside It. I was
going to be like Jo in Louisa Aicott’s
book. How terribly long It is going to
be until morning. . . . I must try
to sleep. ... I must try to
sleep. . . . .*
She did sleep, miraculously. Aa
she lay there, the child In her arms,
aaleep, peace came to the haggard face,
relaxed the tired limbs. Much like an¬
other woman who had lain in the straw
with har child la her anna aim oat twe
thousand years before.
