"Fd like being anywhere with Will," she said in slow deep tones. "I like big men!" The two other women were u& comfortable; but Will was not He beamed, and talked on, contentedly; but Huldy in the end would not stay to supper. I've got beans on the stove," she reminded W11L "We'd best get along." And as they said good-by, she explained to Jenny: "You can't blame me for going on home. I'm still a bride, and I'd like to have Will all to myself. I guess you know how that lsr And led Will, like a captive, away. When they were gone, Jenny was silent, hurt without knowing how she had been hurt, wounded with out being able to put her finger on the wound; but Marm Pierce was not In the least mystified. "She's a hussy 1" she exclaimed, 'Will's cut him off a bigger piece than he can chew. She'll make him dance a pretty tune," Jenny whirled toward the older woman. "If she s not good to him, I'll kill her T she cried. So Marm Pierce perceived the girl's distress, and sought to ease her. "There, Jen," she said quick ly. "Don't you mind I There's nought to do for Will now. Ton go read the Book of Proverbs! You'll find a heap of wisdom there. Wormwood will be his dish, soon or late. Maybe If be'd read his Bible, he'd have knowed better than to marry her; but I dunno. Many man's let a woman take him with her eyelids, like the Bible says. Pore Will!" I'll . . ." Jenny whispered. 'No and you won't," the old worn an Interrupted stoutly. She shook her head. "Nought you can do but would make It worse for Will, and for you, too, Jen, Stay away from him, from the both of them. Let fire burn, Jen, It will come to ashes by and by." And Jenny was hushed and si lenced: and the wise old woman went to get the supper on. Summer was upon them now, and during the months that followed, Jenny saw Will not at all There was a stir of new activity In the Valley, which served in some de gree as a distraction. In July, man named Seth Humphreys, from Augusta, set up a steam mill not far below Marm Pierce's farm; and now and then some one of the men who worked there, with a minor cut or wound, came to ask Marm Pierce to heal his hurt for him. She had a salve with virtues which were famous, and she could minister to the lesser physical ailments which sometimes attacked them. When one of these men appeared, Jenny stayed usually In the back ground; but they were a harmless lot, rough and strong and spending their days In hard physical toil, yet toward a woman gentle and shy. Sometimes she saw one or two of them slipping through the open land between the house and the woods toward the brook. A path from the mill cut through the woods direct to Carey's bridge. "Going up to sample Bart Carey rum." Marm Pierce guessed with a grim disapproval "Jen, you keep away from them. Stay out of the woods, down that way. None of em to hurt you, less'n they was drunk; but I never did believe In putting Idees into a man's bead. You stay away." She had In fact some reasons for concern which she did not explain to Jen. People were apt to confide In this wise old woman, and she heard things Jenny did not hear, Amy Carey, Bart's sister, came one afternoon when Jenny had gone toward to-ward the brook, so that the old woman was alone; and Amy was troubled. "The mill crew, they're around the house all the time," she ex plained. "And Bart, he's had couple men staying there from Au gusta. that let on they come to fish but they don't bring home any trout. They go off down the brook every day, and come back at night and no fish to fry. And they never come before." Her eyes were uneasy. "It's that woman," she said. Tve heard 'em talk about her.

Amy turned homeward ly; but Jenny did not return for a further while. When she did appear, ap-pear, she gave no sign of what had happened; but she had learned that afternoon, to understand Hul- ay tnrough and through. Leaving the house, she had set out at random toward the deep shade of the woods. She came to the brook below Will's farm, and stayed there by the stream a while. leaning against a tree, her hands behind her, her eyes shadowed. deep In long thoughts of him; and presently she crossed the stream wnere bowlders gave a footing. Above her, a rocky precipice rose fifty or sixty feet abruptly from the head of the grout pile that sloped down to the brook; but to one side there was a path she knew, where by a steep scramble she might come to the gentler slopes above. And It occurred to her that, going cau tiousiy, she might have some far glimpse of Will, busy in his fields. The thought drew her irresistibly; she began to climb, She meant not to speak to Will or show herself to him; yet to see him, even from far off, would be happiness. The trail was steep and she was warm and panting. At the top of the rise, the path swung to the right, where broken ledges served THE LEHI SUN.

And from that day Jenny undpr. stood Huldy, completely; and with, out word from Marm Pier . from Amy, or from any other at all Yet, she went no more to the brook, or up the scrambling trail. Between her and Will there was a barrier raised which Rh never seek to pass or set aside; and accepted this fact and found a way to cloak her grief and sorrow. uniy ner heart brooded over Win In an agony of longing to protect him from the hurt she knew must some day come. After that day In June when he and Huldy returned to the little bouse in the Valley, Jenny did not see Will till Oftober. Ordinarily, by the third we k in October, the alders and the birch saDlines are stripped; the osas and beeches are losing their topmost leaves. But this year the first deep frost was followed by no rain nor wind to tear the bright leaves from their tenuous hold, till In the last week of October frost gripped the land again. It settled heavy In the Val ley; and when the sun rose, the leaves were locked In an icy clasp, held in place by the very frost that was their destruction. Then as the sun climbed higher and the day warmed, the frost melted and at first by ones and twos and even by dozens and by scores, the leaves came down, falling silently, like a bright rain of color through the woods. Jenny, at mid-morning, left the house and went past the barn toward to-ward the young second growth of birch and beech at the meadow-side, to watch this silent falling rain of bright leaves; and she was there, sitting on the stone wall, warm In the sun, when she saw a movement In the deeper shadows of the black growth, some two hundred yards away. Saw a man running 1 Her heart swelled with the quick perception that this was Wilt He came at speed, his hands clenched and pounding at bis Bides, his head forward as though reaching out to fill his lungs with air; and she thought he came to seek her, and thus thinking she rose to her feet and stood waiting In a tender readiness readi-ness to receive and comfort him. But he emerged from the spruce wood, and without pause swung to the left and disappeared again. She understood, after a moment that he had gone toward the steam mill down the Valley; and he was In such a baste of passion that even from this distance she seemed to feel the fury In the man. It would not be fear that drove him! Will would not tnus run in fear. It must be anger, then ; and swift conjecture lashed her with biting strokes, while she went slowly, slow-ly, like one dazed, across the open to the house, and into the kitchen there, Marm Pierce, at her coming, looked up, and saw her countenance. "What's the matter, Jen?" she asked sharply. "What's wrong with you?" "Will," the girl whispered, "ne came running along the path, and went down toward the steam milL Banning, like he was awful mad." Silence for a long moment, and Marm Pierce nodded In slow comprehension. com-prehension. "Well, It was bound to come," she said, half to herself He's found out, somehow, about Seth Humphreys."

It may be fruit cooked with sugar, until It Is of the consistency of a white sauc, or It may have the pieces of the fruit or whole berries, unbroken In a rich liquid of delectable flavor. It may be a mellow, smooth, thin paste highly seasoned and variously colored, col-ored, a rich sauce for meat or fish or fowl Or it may be a sweet creamy liquid for puddings and desserts. des-serts. The time for discrimination In the significance of the word has come, however. Some sauena are In real ity, compotes. This is when the berries ber-ries or cut fruits remain unbroken, or as nearly so as the kind permits. For example applesauce la not a sauce but a compote when pieces are unbroken. It Is a much more epicurean epi-curean dish among cooked fruits, than the sauce, which Is of strained fruit and Is used much as Is a relish. Applesauce Is a side dish for ,pork, and other meats.
