This seemed easy enough when he first thought of It, but the more he reflected, the more he saw that It might be rather difficult. He had treated Mary somewhat shabbily, he admitted. She was having a very good time without him he was forced to admit that too and there was really no special reason why she should ever crave his society. He started on his errand of reconciliation several times, only to turn back, feeling that his stomach was caving in uncomfortably for some reason, and that it might be better to wait a few days longer. At last having spent a Saturday evening at home when every one else under thirty In town had gone off on a picnic, returning In the highest spirits at midnight Mary was with the Grays and laughing and singing when they dropped her at the front door he took his courage, what there was of It, in his hands, and sought her out. He found her, late that Sunday afternoon in Indian summer, sitting in the fragrant orchard reading a book, a rather solid looking book. She was, Paul thought, looking unusually fresh and contented and attractive. Hullo, he said, advancing towards her firmly, though inwardly quaking. Hullo," said Mary quietly, without looking up. Pauls heart gave a queer exhibition of acrobatic powers, as If It were turning somersaults all the way from his throat to his stomach, and then began to thump to thump so vigorously that he feared it might be audible. He was pleased, and he was beyond all reasonable measure excited. Have a good time last night? he Inquired carelessly. "Yes. Did you? Paul choked, and fumbled with his tie. He could not understand why Mary should ask such a tactless question, when she knew perfectly well He decided to be magnanimous, and Ignore it "What are you reading?" he asked. 'The Life of Charles Francis Adams. Do you like it? Very much. Havent you read it? Another tactless question! Marys voice expressed ' only polite surprise, yet she was aware that he never read things of that sort. The top of Pauls collar was rapidly sinking to the level of his collar button. Mary went on reading. I thongnt Td come over tor a little while, he murmured desperately. Mary turned a page. Nice day, Isnt it? do Warm for the time of the year, too. And likely to grow warmer any minute, replied Mary, her eyes still on her book. Paul could feel even the back of his neck growing red. Still he persisted. Blanche is back In Brookline. Mother had a letter from her last night. Shes thinking of leaving me and going down to pay her a little Visit I should think It would be a very pleasant change for her. Something In Marys tone made Paul look at her more carefully. The painful flush at the back of his neck spread all over him. He could feel the cold perspiration dropping down his spine. There was no possible doubt of it Mary was laughing Paul turned his back on her and strode away. Though unfamiliar with the quotation, he had, in substance, pictured Mary sitting like patience on a monument smiling down at grief. Apparently she was doing nothing of the sort. She missed him so little and was getting along so well without him, that when ha weDt to hey and tried 1 Mloda . - Lovely rwnCja re: Boston terrie flret, fox terriers, cock cows Scottish terrie kinese HU Sold Motoring through Vermont, Philip Starr, young Boston architect, meets Blanche Manning, seventeen, with whom he is immediately enamored. It being a long distance to Burlington, Starr's destination. Blanche suggests, the village of Hamstead not boasting hotel, that he become, for the night, guest of her cousin, Mary Manning, Mary receives Philip with true Vermont hospitality, and he makes the acquaintance of her cousin Paul, recognized as her fiance. Starr informs her of his desire to win Blanche for his wife. She tells him of an old family superstitutlon concerning the Blanches' of the Manning Paul Manning is inclined to befamily. dissipated. Mary's reproaches for his conviviality are badly received by Paul. Gale Hamlin, long a suitor for Mary's hand, visits Hamstead but makes no progress in his lovemaking. Philip, from records of the Manning family, learns the sorrowful story of the Countess Blanche," French wife of a Moses Revolutionary hero, Manning, and of the peculiar curse she has transmitted to her descendants and the women of Hamstead. The evening of Philip's marriage to Blanche, Paul, under the Influence of liquor, bitterly affronts Mary, and tells her their engagement is ended. Mary, at first acutely conscious of her position as a Jiltedwoman, is greatly comforted by her lifelong friend, Sylvia Gray, and the love of her two small brothers. Paul, really loving Mary, though with a selfish attachment, finds life a good deal of a blank with her out of the picture. CHAPTER VIII to make up, she felt she could afford to laugh at him ! Well, he wasnt to be trifled with like that! Hed show her. Angrily he brushed away two big tears of resentment and hurt pride that were trickling down his flushed cheeks. In the seclusion of his bedroom he brushed his rumpled hair and changed his collar, then sat down to cool off and think things over. Hed show He dwelt for a few minMary utes on this agreeable thought But show her what? What was there to show her? And supposing he could think up something, would she consent to be shown? His recent Interview with her, the mere thought of which caused him to grow hot again, did not furnish material for much hope of exhibition. Mary, after all, held all the high cards. His only chance, so to speak, was to lead through weakness up to strength. His pride, if nothing else, told him that it would be better than leaving the game unfinished, even if he lost. His common sense told him that If he did not finish It, he would have smaller hope than ever of another game with Mary. And he wanted to play with her. . , . Having reached this conclusion, of which there was no possible doubt, neither comfortably nor rapidly, he decided to act upon it at once. He fairly rushed to the orchard. Mary was still reading. Look here, Mary, he burst out, Im Im sorry I I acted as I did the night of Blanche's wedding. In fact, Im Im just as ashamed of it as I can be Td give anything if youd ... SYNOPSIS j, make peal I some overlook it. Overlook it! flamed Mary. That was the wrong word, floundered Paul. I meant, of course, I want to ask you to forgive me.

Please, Mary out bis hand. The girl closed her book, rose, and came toward him, looking at him with that clear and direct gaze that was so hard to meet. But, though he flinched, he looked at her squarely. 1 never Please, he said again. would have done It if I hadnt been drunk. She drew back a little. "You speak as if that were an excuse, she said evenly. Why of course its an excuse Of course it isnt It was disgraceful, to do what you did, but it was even more disgraceful to get into a condition that would allow you to do 1 it Paul had honestly not considered the matter in this light before. Well, I guess it was, he said, Ill try not to get into flushing. such a condition again. I am sorry. Honestly, I am. Wont you shake hands with me and forgive me? I wouldnt touch you with a ten-fopole. I certainly wont forgive you. I believe youre sorry now, because youre having a horrid time. But if I forgave you and you began to have a good time again, you would forget all about being sorry and do the same thing right over again. I wouldnt I swear I wouldnt. Youre not going to have the chance. I must go in now and get supper. "Well wont you at least speak to me when you see me and and so on as long as I do behave? Yes, said Mary over her shoulder. Til do that, if you Just happen to see me. I won't if you try to like this, again." And with this small concession, Paul was obliged to be satisfied. Or rather, he strove to be satisfied and was not Mary was amazingly pretty, prettier than Blanche, far and away prettier than Rosalie King or any of the girls who worked in the mill at White Water. Why hadnt he noticed that before? And she had pep oceans of itl How could he possibly have thought that she was tame? He had not only acted like a fool, but like a blackguard. He deserved his fate. That was the last conclusion that Paul reached and the effect that more him was had it upon sobering than anything that had happened to him in all his life. He bowed under it, hurt and cowed and a little frightened. Then he pulled himself together, still wincing, and began to try to build together again, a stone at a time, the foundation for that happiness which he had to Mary and cause him to find FIRST U. S. COIN SHILLING OF 1632 slight favor in her tight Most of all, however, he welcomed any ex cuse which could be construed as sufficiently reasonable to give him a few words with her. She held the door half-ope-n without inviting him to enter as he made his request, and the corners of her mouth twitched. He had the uncomfortable feeling that she saw through him per- Melted Candlesticks Used to Make Silver Piece. On May 26, 1652, John Hull minted the first piece of silver for use in the American colonies. Feeling the need of a satisfying medium of exchange, the Boston coto lonists induced the legislature enact a statute permitting the coin age of money in the colony. John Hull, a Boston householder, offered to erect a building at his ex pense on his own land to be used as a mint. His proposition was accepted and he was made master of the mint. As compensation lie was to receive one shilling for every twenty that he minted for the colony. So, out near the barn on his propshack. 10 erty, he built a one-roofeet wide and 16 feet long. And here In Hals unpainted building was minted the first shilling In the Colonies. The event was ma'ked by an absolute absence of ceremony. He went about the task in the same that he would have approached the task of moulding candles. Using an English shilling as a model, this first minting of a few silver pieces was a days job, Hull and a friend melted up some silver candlesticks in an oven built of field stones. It required a long time to get the oven hot enough with the wood they were using as fuel. However, late in the afternoon the two men were ready to pour the molten silver into flat moulds. At this point Mrs. Hull appeared on the scene to persuade them to fectly. Would you like the Autobiography of Charles Francis Adams? she asked. He looked at her miserably. You know I couldnt make head nor tail of it," he said. In the voice of a prisoner at the bar who pleads for justice though he knows he deserves no Im not clever like yon. mercy. Youre thorough, when yon take the trouble to be. Thoroughness helps In reading." All right, give It to me." Mary vanished, leaving him on the doorstep, closing the door behind her. When she reappeared, she had an looking volume In her hand. This is Rex Beachs Heart of the Sunset. " she said demurely. It took me a little while to find it, but I think you may like it better. If you decide you want Charles Francis after all, come back and get matter-of-fact-wa- it Well, your cordial Invitation is a bribe worth considering, retorted Paul. Then, rather frightened at his daring, he blushed scarlet. Nevertheless he looked straight at her, smiled, and lifted his cap. Thanks very much for this, he said. Good night" Inevitably, a few evenings later, he brought the book back, having, to his Intense surprise, thoroughly enjoyed it Seth had gone to prayer meeting, and Mary was putting the children to bed upstairs and did not hear his knock. After hesitating a minute, he went into the living room, put the volume down on the table, and began to look at the others that were lying upon it He chanced on a novel of Zane Greys, glanced down the first two or three pages, and then, genuinely Interested, sat down and began to read, entirely forgetting his awkward position as an unwelcome guest. When Mary entered, half an hour later, carrying a huge mending basket piled high with sewing, he started guiltily to his feet and stammered his y eat supper, which they did unwillingly. After supper they returned to work by candle ligl First they removed the silver that had cooled in flat slabs, and pounded it down to the right thinness. Then, with a heavy hammer and a punch, they cut out the discs, on one side of which they stamped N E, standing for New England, and on the other XII, denoting 12 pence. Finally they weighed each dlse separately. If the disc weighed more titan 72 grains, they cut ofl a piece, which is why most of them are of such irregular shape. Thus with crude tools and methods did the first Colonial shilling come unceremoniously into being. t When Seazon Begin The dates of the equinoxes that is, the dates of the suns crossing of are approximately the equator March 21 and September 22.

You might poke up the fire a little before you start in. It was not until the tall clock In the corner struck eleven that Mary spoke or stirred. Then she rose, gathering up her piles of neatly folded and mended clothes. You must go home," she said. Its getting late. Thats a good story, isnt It?

You can come, too, of course. If youd enjoy it, but we couldnt read. This did not sound especially attractive to Paul. Nevertheless, with his caution, and in his gratitude for the unexpected favor he had just received, he decided not to say so. Well, perhaps I will. And thanks awfully for letting me stay tonight. Ive had a fine time. May I take the book home with me? Certainly would you like a glass of milk and a doughnut before you go? I made fresh ones today. Would I?" They went Into the kitchen, sat down beside the table with the red cloth on It, and talked over the story as they ate. They did not agree as to A friendly arthe probable outcome.

It was not until Mary had put her hand in his that she remembered her statement of a few weeks earlier about a pole, though Paul had by no means forgotten It And when, growing crimson, she tried to pull her hand away, she found she could not. Good night, he said again, pleasantly and firmly, and gripping hard. For a moment Mary struggled to free herself. Then she met his eyes. The first lesson in Pauls new course of education had been to learn to look Mary In the face, and, as she had said, Paul was thorough. The expression that the girl saw in her cousins was so full of new-borhumility and penitence, and yet so clearly determined to deserve, and claim, the right on which he was insisting, that she could not well see it and remain un touched.
