What was It squeezing, hurting so? She walked Into her bedroom and Willie's. There, In front of the mirror she forgot Willie, lie hud wild What? "You are beautiful In anything. Was ahe? She looked. Yea. In a blue percale apron, even. Waves um1 Braves of short yellow hair; blue eyes that were soft and brllllHiit at once; White anus, slltn, white neck ; cheeks pinker than peach blooms she would be lovely In the white ratine with Its tralght-llne- d grace. The girls In school two high years ago hud said be sure knew how to dress. He thought so. "And he knows," she whlHpered. "He knows what I can do more tlmn any one." She had a feeling of power when he thought of him. Ah I that first time I Iteally, that had lieen after all, the beat time. Under the pink clouds of blossoms he had leaned against the fence. Willie had gone to town. In trim khaki, puttees, brown boots, sur- veyors Instruments across his shoulder he had leaned and let his eyes lazily, coolly, devour her. Ills strong, slim, muscular hands had, even that first time, caught and held hers for an Instunt. Willies hands were thick, reddish, freckled. He frightened her; be made her sure of herself. Things bad hspiMMied In three weeks! "You feeding chickens, tanking pies, acruhhlng In a little fnrmhouae out Jn the sticks! He laughed amazed-ly- . "How did you ever get Into this?" And now hlg towns, admiring people, beautiful things worthy of her, a pretty, clever woman, were to be hers for the taking. She ruined her slim arms to slip the white ratine over her head, put On her dress, powdered her neck, her arms, her too scarlet cheeks, brushed her hair until It streamed from her bead like n saint's aureole. Slie put ber brush In Wlllle'a suitcase, where other things of tiers were, but not any of Willie's, closed it Now for the yellow roses. How his black eyes would smolder and fairly bum her when he saw the yellow roses In the rough white of her dress. She shivered. How lifted up, glorious, young, atrong, powerful, she felt. Oh, Spring. Life. Oh, Love! Real Love! She ran out, after one more bright moment before the mirror, to the bush low, dusky, ngleani here and them with sunshine yellow. I low hot it west She had thought there was quite a wind thla morning. She wus glad It was hot She was prettier when It wus hot, more while and very, very pink and glowing. She chnss a bud here, one there, carefully, that just showed a pout lug yellow petul enfolding. Rut wasn't It hot! She would feel a breeze In a few moments. She would hear tlie of a mall Inclosed car with rone curtains drawn. She would be lifted into It, would feel those beloved hands hold ber and her life would he beginning. She pinned the roses on. Wm iliut the car? She raised her head to listen, llow queer everything seemed. Ho wind, hot, still. The birds were still. Suddenly Jay gave a loud, terrified squawk. Then silence sguln, hot silence. Her heart seemed to turn over and then cense beating. What wus that noise? It wus getting dark. What strange noise what was U? She looked up at the sky. The sky was not still. Swirling, brownish clouds that drooped lower In tbelr endless turning. Torn they were and trailing. Across the garden she aw did she really, she wondered one tiny, round, whirling wisp of a cloud go aklpplug across, saw another, another, like sportive living things at some game. And then she knew. She had never seen a cyclone. She would now. She ' chug-cliu- funnel-shape- g d would lie killed by one In u moment. Her benutlful, beautiful life that was Just beginning! What wus that Willie said was the best thing to do if a cyclone sliouM come? home, mid Willie's, was nut gone. Rut the burn wus gone, a scattered muss of ilehrls. She saw Ihree feebly wuv-In- g hoofs sticking up from a die of split Ismrds. She got tip und ran. The fence was down. Some of the chickens, unhurt, alive, were scratching boredly among wheat and corn scattered by the storm. The sun began presently to shine gently, sweetly. Willie! Where wus Willie? She wanted to screutn Ids name and run and run till she found him and hold him and never let him Of course, there go. Poor Willie. would he the tornado Insurance, hut all that work why, It would take them both, working all summer, to fix tilings up again. Their farm was terribly hurt Rut not ruined. Oh, not ruined. And then she ronght sight of s strong figure In faded shirt nnd overalls running up the Inne. She run to meet It. There, by piles of bnurds out of which the three hisifs stuck, they met, two sobbing, gasping forms. "Iiut, Willie, the house was not hurt. Just to think. Our home we have It We have It still." And then they begun it that long working. Willie had to slinot Jenny, poor Jenny who hnd leaned trustingly against the burn with her little wobbly-leggeralt. They got a pi nee for the few live chickens to sleep. The cows, uninjured, they drove up from the pasture nnd milked and protected from the coming night ns well as they could. And never could Willie lipur Lucille out of his sight. And never could she he one moment awuy from him. At last, at sunset, they sunk down on the edge of the little Hindi, too wen ry to move, too stricken to think of food. Willie snt. looking out straight In front of him. Why," he pointed, "liHik what It did to your yellow rosebush. Iulled It up, right up. out of the gnmud like ns if a hlg hand hnd done It. It's torn all to pieces. Youd think the old cyclone hnd it In for that bush. Well huve to get you another this fall." "No! No! No! I never want to see one again." She looked down at her dress, torn, streaked, ruined. And then she turned and looked at the house, at the table In the kitchen with Its fluttering white cloth, nt the gleaming pans. Through the window she could see the white spread und the dulnty scarfs of the bedroom. The little torch was wiihIiikI clean by the rain, the porch she hud not lmd time to scrub. She crept closer and slipped her hmid through Willie's arm and leaned against him. Ilia hlg. strong, thick, fanner hand rinsed on hern. She felt warm and sufe. So safe. "It was so terrible." she trembled, "so st such a hlg dirty thing, Willie." "Yes, I know. Rut yon want to forget It right nwRy. We're never likely to have another one. Yes. It does seem like a wicked thing. Of course, the sinne forces enuse the ruin nnd the wind we got to have for the crops hot It seems lawless. We got to have laws, I guess, and they have to he kept." And then he turned nnd his fnee worked nnd he whispered: "Renutlful, benutlful girl, you're safe." And she hid her face against his clean, damp brenst ns she hnd hidden It against the safe earth when the storm raged. d Practical Joke That Recoiled on Player Mine. Ihistnlevsky tells of a practical Joke which she pluyed upon her husband, und which almost led to tragic results. Seeing an anonymous letter In a serial novel a letter warning a husband that Ids wife was she conceived the Idea of fait hie copying It In disguised handwriting and innlllng It to her hushund. The story of what lmpHned to her when Ibistolevsky returned home, half-crazewith Jealous nnger und suffering, Is thrill enough for fiction.

She ran to the gate, wrenched it open, and plunged across great, bare alfalfa field. She ran to the middle of It, then, when the rearing grew nearer and she felt a puff of hot wind In her face she threw herself dowu and desieratrly twined her fingers among the alfalfa fronds. She pressed her body against the earth, shut her eyes. Rut she could not shut from ber ears that roaring, nor expel from ber mind that vision she had caught of hideous, trailing, brown clouds.
