She came to the brook below Will's farm, and stayed there by the stream a while, leaning against a tree, her handa behind her, her eyes shadowed, deep In long thoughts of him; and presently she crossed the stream where bowlders gave a footing.

After that day In June when he and Huldy returned to the little house In the Valley, Jenny did not tee Will till October. Fall that year came early, with a swift front stroke that brushed color all acmes the hills till they were clad In gold and crimson glory. Then followed days of sun and breathless airs. Ordinarily, by the third week In October, the aldere and the birch saplings are stripped; the oaks and beeches are losing their topmost leaves. But tide year the first deep frost wee followed by no rain nor wind to tear the bright leave from their tenuous hold, till In the last week of October frost gripped tbe land again. It settled heavy In the Valley ; and when the un 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 twoi and then by dozens and by scores, the leaves came down, falling silently, like a bright rain of color through the woods. left the Jenny, at house and went past the barn toward the young second growth of birch and to watch beech at the meadow-eiilthis silent falling rain of bright leaves; and she was there, alttlng on the atone wall, warm In the sun, when she saw a movement In the deeper shadows of the black growth, some two hundred yards away.

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 auch a haste of passion that even from this distance she seemed to feel the fury In the man. It could not bo fear that drove him I Will would not thna run in fear. It must be anger, then; and swift conjecture lashed her with biting strokes, while she went slowly, like one dazed, across the open to the house, and Into the kitchen there.

The latter part of the drama she witnessed, and had In It a part; but the beginning was hidden from her for the time; If during these months since bo brought Huldy home, hla wife had become a In the Valley end la the wide region roundabout. Will as la apt to be the cno waa the last to know this. Yet he was not wholly In Ignorance; He might not admit even to himself doubt or misgiving, for there was In this man n fine loyalty; nevertheless be was not witless, nor wholly blind, nor could any man loving Iluldy as Intensely as he did be unconscious of those withdrawals and evasions and scornful mockeries which she offered him behind the screen of her arrogantly yielding smile. He never even shaped doubt of her In hie thoughts; yet Just as one walking alone through a deep wood may be conscious of a movement behind him, so Will was conscious of many tilings that happened Just beyond hla sight or ken. He was thus In some degree prepared for what occurred this day. It waa not that ho had known anything before; but rather that with a sixth sense he felt certain things, and was brought Into a frame of mind where full comprehension and belief were made easy, where It needed no more than one tangible peg In order for him to pick up and hang upon It tho whole web or hla wife's deceptions; Ho bad been all the long summer very busy about tho farm, Tho fields and meadows, untended for one summer season, bud already begun to surrender to the seduction of the forest ell about, permitting the encroachments of email slioote end seedlings which must now be grubbed back and ent away. Will had worked steadily, and dusk each day found him bone-tireso that he might nod at the supper table, and presently thereafter go qnlck and heavily to bed, and sleep till dawn. He loved Huldy; bnt after the first rapture of possession passed, be loved also this farm of hie fathers, and with an almost equal ardor, serving it with the full measure of hla strength and energy. At night be was hungry only for sleep, and ho rose to work again at dawn. But Huldy needed no more sleep than a cat. Sometimes Will, drowsing In hla chair after sapper, waked to find her watching him with a disquieting eye; and more than once on summer nights she bad roused him, shaking him by the shoulder, a hot fury In her tones, demanding that he prove himself something more than a dormouse of a man. So when the time did come, he was prepared for comprehension. There bad been many visitors at the farm that unimer. Will at first discovered In these visits no more than the natural curiosity of his neighbors to see this bride of whom he was so proud. Bart Carey enme, and old Win Haven not Infrequently; and then Seth Humpheya, whom Will nnd Hnldy had known in Augusta, brought hla steam mill to the Valley. Also others who had known Huldy In Augusta came to lodge at Barts and fish the brook below, although they had never come before; Will when he wooed Huldy, knew her popularity; yet he waa continually being reminded of It now. He might return from the fields at dusk to find - casual traffic tiasa by, and tied them there Then he set out to walk home. It was not far. In a straight line through the woods.

If ehe had any regret, It was only that she would not be at hand to see Will and Seth when they came together.
