CHAPTER XL. “Who war the lady?” “The lady?” “That pitcher in the other room. Couldn’t nobody look at her an’ not know she war sure-’nough quality. You know the pitcher I mean—she’s a-wearin’ a shawl-like over her shoulders, an’ her eyes has a sort of friendy believin’ look, as if she war expectin’ everybody to be jest like she war herself—like she hadn't never a thought that anybody could be low down.” “Oh, that was my mother!” “1 knowed hit The minute you told me that war your home I knowed she war your maw. Hit’s funny, but when I war a-watchin’ you the night of the party I had a feelin’ like you ought to be her daughter. Herb an’ me we used to look at that pitcher, an’ hit minded us both of you. We didn’t talk nothin’ much about hit, but we both knowed what t'other war a-thinkin’. You Carrots war sure-’nough quality, miss. Hit’s easy ’nough now fer me to see that you air a Carrol all over. I can’t make out how I ever war sich a doggone fool's to think you war anything less’n quality. Hit’s ’cause I'm jest natchally sich an ignorant old heathen, I reckon.” “But you are not,” protested Diane. “No woman who was not of the finest quality could do what you did for John Herbert.” Ann Haskel shooked her head with a grim smile that wrung Diane’s heart. “Thank you. miss, but you don’t know the half of what I’ve done. When you do, sich as you ain’t goin' to have no truck with sich as me.” At her tone and manner Diane thought of the woman's efforts to escape the police. What did it mean? Had John Herbert's mother actually committed a crime? Then the girl threw up her head defiantly. ‘‘l don’t care what you have done. Law or no law, you couldn’t do a mean or ignoble thing, Ann Haskel, any more than my mother could.” The mountain woman turned her face away and fixed her gaze dully on the floor. She was a picture of such utter defeat that Diane, longing to comfort her, could think of nothing to say. Nance Jordan, as if she could no longer restrain herself, cried, shrilly: “I reckon you done hoed plum’ to the end of your row, Ann Haskel. With that Levering man a-settin’ the police on us in the city, an’ Jeff Todd a-turnin' ag'in us here to home like he’s done, we-uns ain’t got no more chance’n a couple of hoppergrasses in a prairie fire. You’d best tell Miss Diane right now what you done an’ made me do. Mebbe she can manage some way or other to git we-uns out of the Gawd-awful mess you done got us into. If you don’t tell her, I'm sure a-gein' too.” Without turning her head or looking up, Ann said, drearily: “Go ahead. Nance. I ain’t a-stoppin’ you. Tell all you want. She’s sure got to know, an’ hit may's well be from you’s from somebody else.” Pointing an accusing finger at the woman who sat so dejectedly with her face turned away. Nance whined with bitter triumph: “That bank lawyer, Mr. levering, he’s done sot the police on weuns ’cause all that money what she’s been a-throwin’ ’round ain’t hern an’ never war. When lawyer Levering come hyear askin’ questions of we-uns, to find out who had a right to that thar fortune what Ed Haskel's paw, old John Haskel, left, she done swapped them pitchers of herself an’ her sister on him—that’s what she done. She told him she war Ann, Ed Haskel’s wife what died. Hit warn’t no sich thing. Hit war Ann what died. She ain’t Ann; she’s Grace. Hit war her man, Henry, what war hung fer that killin’ in Price County. After the hangin’ she come to live with Ann an’ Ed ’cause they war all the kinfolks she had. When Ann died a-bomin’ little John Herbert, Grace, thar, she stayed on a-livin’ with Ed an’ a-takin’ care of the baby jest like she war Ed’s wife an’ the sure’nough mother of his boy, John Herbert. Then when we-all moved from West Kansas to Missouri, she done tuck her daid sister’s name. She

made we-uns call her Ann an' give out she war Ed Haskel’s wife an’ John Herbert’s maw. We-uns jest natchally had to do like she said—everybody alius has had to. Weuns bein’ strangers in them parts we-uns moved to 'fore we-uns come hyear, folks was jest natchally bound to take hit all that away. But I’m a-tellin’ you now hit’s gospel truth she ain’t Ann, she’s Grace. She warn’t never married to Ed Haskel: she war married to Ed’s cousin Henry what war hung. She ain't John Herbert’s maw. An’ she ain’t got no more right to old John Haskel’s money than I have. She lied to that bank lawyer from first to last, an’ she done tuck a court oath to her lyin’. She made me swear to hit all, too —’lowed she’d kill me if I didn’t. That's what we-uns air a-runnin’ from the police fer. An' what you ncr anybody else’s goin’ to do ’bout hit all’s more'n I can figger out “I done told you a thousand times, Ann Haskel, that you couldn’t do sich as that Now I reckon you know hit. Mebbe when you’ve got we-uns hung, er spendin' the rest of our days in prison, you’ll be satisfied." The mountain woman rose heavily to her feet and faced them, her face grim and set. “Mebbe I didn’t have no law right to that money,” she said, slowly. “Then ag'in, considerin’ everythin’ mebbe I had somethin’ better’n a law right. Law rights ain’t alius so mighty much. I’ve seed a heap of stealin’ and all kinds of meanness and wickedness excused by them same law rights.” She paused, and in the silence seemed to be considering the case with judicial care. Presently she continued: “All my life I been held back from somethin’ what I sensed war out yonder somewhars. 1 didn’t know jest what ’twas, but I knowed I wanted hit, an’ I knowed I could git to hit if only I could make out to break loose from the things what war a-ho!din’ me back. I 'lowed marryin’ Henry Haskel would mebbe give me a chance. Hit didn’t: hit only tied me closer. When my man tuck to drinkin’ heavy I could see my chances war gittin’ less an’ less. When he war hung fer that killin' I plum’ give up. I'd alius wanted a baby. but hit seemed like Gawd-a-mighty had sich a spite ag’in’ me that I couldn’t even have that. Then sister died an’ give me her little Herb, an' I war more happy an’ contented-like. “If you figger hit all out, John Herbert really air my own flesh an’ blood. He can’t be nothin' else. His paw an’ my man bein’ own cousins, their blood war the same. His maw an’ me bein’ own sisters, her blood war exactly same’s mine. An’ on account of her givin’ the baby to me when she war a’dyin’ like she did, he war borned mine. My name war already Haskel, same’s the baby’s, an’ considerin’ that an’ everything else, hit seemed more natchal-like that I should be Ann Haskel 'stead of Grace. Hit didn’t hurt her none fer me to take her name, an' hit he’ped me a heap—made hit easier, seemed like, fer me to fergit how my own man war hung fer murder an’ made me bein’ Herb’s mother seem more real. “Ed Haskel he war a good man. Him an' me lived like brother an' sister, even if everybody did think we war man an’ wife. Ed he alius 'lowed hit wouldn’t be a-doin’ right by my sister fer him an’ me to marry—so we didn’t. Then Jedge Shannon come an’ him an’ me we got to likin’ each other a heap. Seemed like to me the jedge fetched them things I alius knowed were away out yonder, right close. The jedge he warn’t married. Os course, though, he thought I war, an’ I didn’t dast tell him no different fer fear of what he'd be bound to think of ine a-livin' with little Herb’s paw like I war. Then Ed he war took, an’ I ’lowed my chance had sure 'nough come. But the jedge he didn't never come back. I got hit all figgered out why after I’d waited a spell. You see, he war with Ed Haskel when that tree fell on Ed an’ killed him. An when the jedge didn’t come back I suspicioned hit war ’cause when Ed war dyin' he done told the jedge all about sister an’ me an’ little Herb an’ every-

thing. But, shucks! i warn l never no woman fer sich as him, nohow, ary more’n I’m fltten to be mother to a man like John Herbert's growed up to be. When I’d figgered hit out that Ed liad told the jedge, I knowed good an’ well he wouldn’t never come back. So I jest settled down to takin' things like they war an’ to gittin’ fer my boy all them things out yonder what I couldn t never make out to git fer myse’f. Everything war a-goin’ jest like I d planned when Herb come home an found out what kind of a woman I be an’ how I war livin’, an’ everything, like I’d never meant fer him to do, an' things war all messed up ag'in. 1 'lowed, tike the dumb fool I be, that the poor boy war in sich a fix with all his education, an' the way the jedge had brung him up, an’ with me bein' what I am, that thar jest natchally warn’t no chance . fer him. I war scared plum’ des- . perate that, after all I d gone through with. Herb war goin to end up bein’held back like I ve alius been, only fer him, with all his schoolin’ an’ everything, hit’d be a thousand times worse’n hit ever war fer me. “Then that man Levering come . along huntin’ somebody to give all 1 that money to. I knowed thar i warn’t any more Haskels left, 'cept Herb an’ me, an’ I jest couldn't stand hit that them missionaries in furren parts should git all that money what I war needin' if I war ever to fix things fer Herb like I’d alius planned, bourse, when I got that message at the party sayin that levering an’ Jedge Shannon ' war together an' they war coinin’ | to sec me, I knowed I’d figgered 1 right 'bout Ed a-tellin’ the jedge. an’ that soon’s he’d got Herb’s letter tellin’ him 'bout me a-gittin’ the fortune, he jest natchally hunted up them bank people an' told them the straight of hit all. The jedge would jest natchallv fee! he had to do that ’cause he war that kind of a man.” The mountain woman paused and turned her head as if to listen to a sound outside the house. Diane heard nothing. “Be they cornin’. Ann?” whispered Nance. “What is it? What do you hear?” Diane asked in the same breath. As if they had not spoken. Ann Haskel said: “You can see how 1 had to let you know what me an’ Nance has been a-tellin’ you, miss, on account of you an’ Herb. When I war a-taking’ you fer jest one of them no-’count Lodge folks, I’d ’a’ killed you ’fore I’d ’a’ let you have my boy Now that you’ve come j hyear like you have, an’ after what you done to fix hit so’s we-uns could live in your home an’ everything. 1 can see the boot’s on t’other foot I know good an' well hit’s too much to expect you Carrols to have any- I thing to do with us Haskels. But jest the same. I’m askin’ you to remember that John Herbert ain't my son. His paw an’ maw war good folks. He’s sure been raised right by Jedge Shannon. Hit wouldn't , noways be fair fer you to hold what I I be ag’in him. He ain't to blame. He never even suspicioned what me an’ Nanee has been a-tellin’ you. When he knows about all I’ve done I he’ll feel jest like you do about it He'll be glad J ain’t his maw." “Thar’s somethin’ a-comin’ down the hill,” said Nance, suddenly, in a frightened whisper. She hurried to tho window in John Herbert’s room. “I hyeard ’em when they turned off the Ridge Road.” Ann muttered. Nance came back into the livingroom. “Hit’s an automobile,” she reported. “Is it Jeff Todd, do you think?” asked Diane, quickly. Ann Haskel smiled. “Jeff an’ his crowd woudn’t be a-comin’ in an automobile. An' they wouldn’t come down the road. Hit’s the police: couldn’t be nobody else." Nance Jordan took a rifle from the wall over the fireplace and filled the pocket of her dress with cartridges from a box on the mantel. “Come on; git yourse’f ready. We-uns can sneak out through the kitchen an’ into the bresh ’fore they git hyear.” But the mountain woman did not move.

jwATIS L Biennials All Gardens Need

Some gardeners arc inclined to tight shy of biennials, which are plants that must be started fresh from seed every year to keep them in stock as they bloom their second year and then die. Foxgloves and Canterbury bells are the commonest biennials and two of the most beautiful subjects. While frequently grown together, .hey like soils of entirely different character to he at their best. The Canterbury bell ravors a lime soil while the foxglove luxuriates in acid quarters, being naturally a woodland plant. It is best to start these two biennials now to have big plants to store in cold frames for the winter, the only really safe way of being certain of having them as they winterkill badly in many sections, being unable to stand winter wet although perfectly hardy so tar as eold is concerned. Another biennial which is slow-1 ly growing into favor because of

Its stately grace, long a favorite in English gardens, is the mullein or verbascum. The stately spikes of light yellow and pure white bloom are beautiful «s associates for the stately delphiniums. The mulleins bloom for the greater part of the summer. Once you have them you always have them as they are free seeders and their chief drawback is the necessity of hoeing up myriads of young mulleins each spring. However, they fare an easily disposed of plant as one swipe of the hoe finishes them. A mullein for the rock garden ,:s a perennial.
