"Ah, yes. Quite so. .Most in terestlng." The rich black loam of High Prairie. Prai-rie. A hint of fresh green things Just peeping out of the earth. Hothouses. Coldframes. The farm. "But I thought you said It was a mall A arm 1'.' --said -Genetal iiogueU as. they descended from the ar. He looked about at the acreage. "It Is small," Dirk assured him. "Only about forty acres." "Ah, well, you Americans. In France we farm on a very small scale, you understand. We have not the land. The great vast country." He waved his right arm. You felt that If the left sleeve had not been empty he would have made a large and sweeping sweep-ing gesture with both arms. Sellna was not in the neat, quiet house. She was not on tle porch, or In the yard. Meena Bras, phlegmatic and unflustered, came in from the kitchen. Mis' DeJong was in the fields She would call her. This she proceeded proceed-ed to do by blowing three iowerfTl blasts and again three on a horn which ahe took from a hook on the wall. She Stood In the kitchen donrwuy, facing the. fields, blowing, her red cheeks puffed outrageously. "That brings Jler," Meena assured them; and went baXk to her work. They came out on the porch to await Sellna. She was out on the west sixteen the west Sixteen that used to be unprollflc, half-drowned half-drowned muckland. Dirk felt a little uneasy, and ashamed that he should feel so. Then they saw her coming, a small dark figure against the backutvmnd of sun and sky and fields. She came swiftly, yet ploddingly, for the ground was heavy.- They stood facing her, the four of them. As she came' nfareT they saw that she was wearing a dark skirt pinned up about her ankles to protect it from the wet spring earth, and yet It was spattered' with a border bor-der Of mud spots. A rough, heavy gray sweater was buttoned closely about the straight, slim body. On her head was a battered soft black hat. Her feet, in broad-toed sensible shoes, abe lifted high out of the soft, clinging cling-ing soil. Her hair blew a little In the gentle spring breeze. Her cheeks were faintly pink. She was coming the path nowr She could distinguish their faces. She saw Dirk; smiled, waved. Her glance went Inquiringly te the others the bearded man In uniform, the tall girl, the man with the dark, vivid face. Then she stopped, suddenly, sudden-ly, and her hand went to her heart as though she bad felt a great pang, and her lips were parted, and her eyes enormous. As Koelf came forward swiftly she took a few quick, running steps toward him, like a young girl. He took the slight figure In the mud-spattered mud-spattered skirt, the rough gray sweater and the battered old bat Into his arms. They bad had tea in the farm sitting room and Dallas had made a UtUe moaning over the beauty oMhe Dutch luster set. Sellna had entertained them with the ahlnlng air of one who la robed In silk and fine linen. She and General Goguet had got on famously fa-mously from the start, meeting on the common ground of usparagus culture. "But how thlckr he had demanded, for be, too, had his pet lu JJ on the farm In Brittany. "How thick at the baser . Sellna made a circle with thumb and forefinger.

"And you've done all the famous men of Europe, haven't you, iloelf! To think of it! You've seen the world, and you've got it lu'your hand. Little Koelf Pool. And you did It all alone. In spite of everything." Koelf leaned toward her. He put his huud over her rough -one. "Cab-hagos "Cab-hagos are beautiful," he said. Then they both laughed ua at some exquisite Joke. Then, seriously: "What a fine life you've had, too, Sellna.- A full life, and a rich one and successful." "II" eiclulmed Sellna. "Why, Roelf, I've been here all these years. Just where you left me when you were a boy. I tl'.lnk the very hat and dress I'm wearing might he the same I wore then. I've been nowhere, done notli- Ing, seen notUIng. When I think of all j the places I was going to see ! All the things I was going to do !" "You've been everywhere in the world," said Koelf. "You've seen all the places of great beauty and light. You remember you told me that your" father had once said, when you were a little girl, that there Were only two kinds of people who really muttered In the world, one kind was wheat anc the other kind emeralds. You're wheat, Selina." . 7 ' ; - "And you're emerald," said Sellna, quickly. The general was Interested but uncomprehending. un-comprehending. He glanced now at the watch on his wrist and gave a little exclamation. "Kin the dinner! Our hostess Madame Storm ! It Is very fine to run away but one must come back. Our so beautiful .'hostess." He had sprung to his feet. "She Is beautiful, isn't she?" said Sellna. , "No," Roelf replied, abruptly. "The mouth is smaller than the eyes. When the mouth is smaller than the eyes there Is no real beauty. Now Dallas here" "Yes, me," scoffed Dallas, all agrln. "There's a grand mouth for you. If a large mouth Is your notion of beauty then I must look like Helen of Troy to you, Koelf.", "You do," said Roelf, simply. Inside Dirk something was saying, over and over, "You're nothing hot a rubber stamp, Dlrk De.Tonir. You're nothing but a rubber stamp." Over and over. "These dinners!" exclaimed the gen eral. "I d n't ylsfi to srem urrern cTofis, but .These dinnersT "SIOTa fsTuer would I remain here On this flulet and beautiful farm." - ' - At the porch steps he turned, brought his heels together with a sharp smack, bent from the waist, picked np Sellna's 'fr,-y.

Then, quite suddenly, he flung himself on the fine allk-covered bed, face down, and lay there, his head in "Ms arms, very still. He was lying there half an hour later when he heard the telephoned tele-phoned shrill Insistence and Snkl's gentle deferential rap at the bedroom door. (THIS END. For Sale Three months old pigs.

Worn Hand and Kissed It rough work-worn hand and kissed It And then, as she smiled a little, uncertainly, un-certainly, her left baud at her breast, her checks pink, Koelf, too, kissed her band tenderly. ' "Why," said Sellna, and laughed a soft tremulous little laugh, "Why, I've never hail my hand kissed before." . She stood on the porch steps and waved at them as they were whirled swiftly away, , the four of them. A slight straight little figure In the plain wliitv blouse and the skirt spattered with the soil of the farm. "You'll come out again?" she had said to I 'alius. And Dallas had said yes, but that she was leaving soou for Paris, to study and work. ' "When I came buck you'll let me do your portrait?" "My portrait!" Sellna had exclaimed, wonderingly. Now as the four were whirled back to Chicago over the asphalted Halsted road they were relaxed, a little tired. They yielded to the narcotic of spring that was In the air. Roelf Pool took off his hat. . In the cruel spring sunshine you saw that tb black hair was sprinkled with gray. "On days like this I refuse to believe that I'm forty-five. Dallas, tell me1 I'm not forty-five." - ' "You're not forty-flve,"' said' Dallas in her leisurely caressing voice. Roelf's lean brown hand reached over frankly and clasped ber strong white one. "When you say it like that Dallas, It souads true." "It is true," said Dallas. They dropped Dallas first at the shabby old Ontario street studio, then Dlrk at his smart little apartment, and went On. Dlrk turned his key In the lock. Sakl, the Japanese houseman, slid silently Into the ball making little Mss-Ing Mss-Ing noises of greeting.
