Julie Hempel and" Sellna Puaka. fjoth finished products of Miss Flster's school, were of an age nineteen. Se llna, on this September day, had been spending the afternoon with Julie, and now, adjusting her hat preparatory to leaving, she clapped her hands over her ears to shut out the sounds of Julie's importunlngs that she stay to supper. Certainly the prospect of the usual Monday evening meal in Mrs. Tetbltt's boarding house did not pre sent sufficient excuse for Selina's .re fusal. Indeed, the Hempel supper as sketched dish for dish by the urgent Julie brought little greedy groans from Sellna., ; . "It's prairie chickens three of them that a farmer west of town brought Father. Mother Axes them with stuffing, stuff-ing, and there's currant Jell. Creamed onions and baked tomatoes. And for dessert, apple roll." Sellna snapped the elastic holding her high-crowned hat under her chignon chig-non ef hair In the back. She uttered a final and quavering groan. "On Monday Mon-day nights we have cold mutton and cabbage at ,Mrs. Tebbltt's. This U Monday." "Well then, silly, why not stay I" "Father comes home at six. If I'm not there he's disappointed." Julie, plump, blonde, placid, fort'ook her soft white banishments and tried steel against the steel of Selina's decision. de-cision. "He leaves yoif right after supper. And you're alone , every night until twelve and after." "I don't see what that has to do with it." Sellna said stiffly, "if I'm not there he's disappointed. And that terrible ter-rible Mrs. Tebbltt makes eyes at him. He hates it there." "Then I don't see why you stay.. I never could see. You've been there four months now, and I think it's horrid hor-rid and stuffy, and oilcloth on the stairs.-51 "Father has had some temporary business setbucks."

The hat fell to the floor. Her eyes were wide, fixed. Her lips slightly parted. The listening look. She knew. She knew even before she heard the hoarse man's voice saying, "Lift 'er up there a little on the corner, now. Easy e-e-easy." And Mrs. Tebbltt's high shrill clamor: "You can't bring it in there! You hadn't ought to bring it In here like thlal" , Selina's suspended breath came back. She was panting now. She had flung open the door. A flat still burden partially covered with an overcoat carelessly flung over the face. The feet. In their square-toed boots, wobbled wob-bled listlessly. Sellna noticed how shiny the boots were. He was always very finicking about such things. Simeon i'eake had been shot in Jeff Hanklns' place at five In the afternoon. The irony of It w as that the bullet had not been Intended for him at all. Its derelict course had been due to feminine femi-nine aim.

Hut the eyes were What you marked and remembered Perhaps it was this velvety softness Of the eye that caused one to overlook over-look the firmness of the lower face. When the next ten years had done their w.-rst to her, and Julie had suddenly sud-denly come upon her stepping agilely out of a truck gardener's wagon on. Prairie avenue, a tanned, weather-beaten, weather-beaten, toil-worn woman, her abundant abun-dant hair skewered Into a knob and held by long gray hairpin, her full calico skirt grimed with the mud of the wagon wheel, p pair of men's old side-boots on her slim feet, a grotesquely gro-tesquely battered old felt hat (her husband s) on her head, her arms full of ears of sweet corn, and carrots, and radishes, and bunches of beets, a woman wom-an with bad teeth, flat breasts, a Bagging Bag-ging pocket in his capacious skirt-even skirt-even then Julie, startnj, had known her by her eyes. And she had run to her In her silk suit and her fine silk Shirtwaist and her hat With the plume and had cried, "Oh, Sellna I My dear I My dear!" with a sob of horror and pity "My dear!" And had taken Sellna, carrots, beets, corn snd radishes, in her arms. The vegetables lay scattered alt- about them on the sidewalk In front of Julie Hempel Arnold's great stone house on Prairie avenue. But strangely enough it had been Sellna who had done the comforting, patting Julie's silken shoulder and saying, over and over, "There, there! It's alt right, Julie. It's all right. Don't cry.
