Show r-- wr " ; 1 ; i All Through Life's bum h,6 th"'Cl of the ,lite '"stallmont story of Mrs. Cerili Svennmg Skoem, Oasis resident lor years, until her death in 1920. She told of her happy ohllcl-hoo- n in Vonsiid, Denmark where she was born in 1S3-1- . The family lived m a forest, and her father died when she was a child, fol-lowing an accident while fellin" a tree Last week her story ended with Cecihe and her mother liv-ing at the Mortensen home her tattler's former employer. Ceeilie was learning to help in the kiich- - It was very often my duty to run their errands at the time I at-e- r when school started they gave nie Mary's place in the Kitchen I was .small but strong and healthy. T'e cok and 1 got along splen- did She was so thoughtful and kind. I would do anything for her When I was thirteen my sister Sophie, married and moved to the next village a few miles away A year later Hannah married a Ger- man and moved to Germany, so there was no one to look alter mother, but myself. One day on returning from my errands, Tru Nielson was " J among her flowers, and stop-TT- d me and asked some questions about myself. She said, "Would you like to go to school?" I cried and told her I had always wanted to go. Then she said if I would come and stay with her she would see that I got schooling and also good wages during the summer. I almost flew home to mother in my excitement; on being told she stared at me for a moment, then started to sob as though her heart would break. I threw my arms around her. "Mother, dear, I won't go if you feel so awful about it." Through her tears she answered, "My darling, you have always been such a comfort to me, God bless you, and may you always be. We will figure out things and see if we can make it for you to get to school next winter." So at fourteen I started school, swinging along with my books full of energy and pep. The cook pro- mised me my job again when sch-ool was out. It was also the last year I could go - - fourteen was the limit of school for the poor. We were supposed to go to work then. I had been going about ten weeks when mother took seriously ill, some how. She felt better in the see again. They had built a big new barn to dance in; the music came floating to us every evening. Then one night came two young men into the kitchen, one short, with dark glowing eyes, the oth-er tall, slim, and rather handsome withh blue eyes coming up to where I was standing. He spoke and looking up to meet his eyes we both stared as though we had met before but knew not were. I felt a thrill go through me at the sound of his voice when he said, "Have you the time to take a walk with me through these grounds?" Looking at his watch, I said, "I have half an hour yet to spare." The cook, looking at him for a moment, said to me " Go if you wish." That was the first of many walks we had. Those men had an hour to thhemselves every evening, so we had many pleasant hours and walks. He told me hhe was learn-ing to be a weaver under his un-cles' direction whom they called the big weaver and still had three years of training. Thus we met; his nearness gave me a thrill I al-so knew he shared. On leaving he said he would be back in a month. I felt as if all the beauties of the world had bud ded in my heart; I knew it must be love for the other sweethearts I had been going with had never thrilled me like this. Every month he came and we spent many hap-py hours together. One night on leaving he told me he loved me then saying " Can you learn to love me " I assured him I could. Then our lips met in our first kiss. It was all so sweet so very sweet; it was a night of dreamed wonderful love Month after month he came but we couldn't think of getting mar-ried until he was through train-ing. I was gloriously happy, did ever a girl in the world have such a knight! nvj .... S. ?

The doctor told me to be very quiet and keep noisy children She had a nervious break-i- s own and required good care. thus I Sat by her bed day af- ter day, sewing. Then after a wh- ile she began to improve. Not un- til spring was she able to be up but a ray of sunshhine came thru with moher around again Then I went to work. Some years went smoothly by when my sister Sophie took sud-denly sick and died. Her husband Olaf was left with two babies the youngest about 13 months. He had no relativies and did not know what to do with them. My sister Hannah offered to take them with her to Germany. He couldn't stand to part with them. Looking so sad, mother asked if he wished her to care for them. So he arranged with one of the servants little girls to help mother watch them during the day. Olaf came Sundays and took them out with him. They were beautiful, healthy babies and we loved them dearly. At first it was hard on mother, but she held out fine and surely seem-ed to be younger with them ar-ound. One night I came in late, the light was burning. I stopped short looking at the beautiful pic-ture. On the bed lay mother, her silver white hair like a crowd ar-ound her head, the little innocents on her arms. Then I noticed mother's face was white as chalk. I dropped on my knees and gasped "mother" She stirred and said, "It's just one of my headache spells." I knew then if I let her alone she would sleep it off by morning. At hearing us talk, the little dar ling who slept with me reached up her arms I could see tears were still in her eyes: I washed and fed her, then went quietly to bed. Next morning mother was al-right. In two years Olaf married and moved to a distant city. We never saw our little darlings again Things went on in the usual hard working ways, of course. We had vaius boys and 'girls would often play tricks on each other and real ly have good times. After a hard day's work, we girls had, each so much spinning to do at night; while the men carded the wool, we would often bet and then race to see who won. Things had been going smoothly with mother and me. We had paid our bills and were laying a little by. Then I was 22, the daughter of the house was to be married. It was a grand affair, lasting sev-eral days. We scrubbed, cleaned, cooked and baked for a week. Then one day I was thrilling to the music and excitement of a grand march. Such a wedding I was never to MILLARD COUKTT CHBONICE Delta, Ut..
