please take my horse’s head? And is one among you my Unde Quint ?" Her voice had a bell-note in ft; her wide smile; on them was entrancing. Every man in the door sprang forward to be the first to reach the hors*’* head. Quint went forward. "I am your Uncle Quint.” The girl put hen two hands out to him. "Oh, I’m ao glad to meet you, at last!” No, she wasn’t another Richard. The warmth of her avowal was genuine. It waa on per face, in her eyes, green-gray *yes with little dancing flecks of gold In them, in’ the smile on her lips, “Let us go Inside,” He drew her hand under his arm and led her past the gaping men, Into th* house. He bad* Toby And his mistress. and ask her to join them ther*. v ■ Tbe door closed on them. “Uncle Quint, I‘ve com* to ask yoU- to take me in"' I I "Sit down,” h* said, and dropped into th* nearest chair, Jennet perched herself on the •tout arm of a chair, opposite him. "Poor Miss Southwell* fell grievously ill last night, Uncte Quint. 1 was truly concerned lest she iiie. A wagon was Having th* tavern for the east this morning with a woman' In the party and I thought It boat to send her back with them. She waa pathetically glad to go. I convinced her that my father's Instructions to me Would most certainly b* to go to you» my kin, should any nerd arise. I told Mr*. Hodge th* same. A wagon ia coming any minute from Hodge's with siy boxes.” She paused, her lips rooped a little. "Uncle, you are not pleased!” Quint was stunned. "There's much we must think over, Jennet. One, what your father's wishes might be. In these circumstances—another, though ours Is a respectable tavern, it’s a crude dwelling beside that to which you are accustomed.” At this Jennet sprang to her feet, stood before him, straight and bright-eyed. "That's just what I hoped it would be! Different! I hate the way I’ve always lived! Oh, so many times Fve wanted to run away froradt, as you did! And last night, after Richard had told me that you Were here, I made my plans...” "Jennet! Then your companion wasn’t really ill!" Quint spoke sternly. \ The girl tried to look aggrieved but a dimple began playing in her cheek. ’Truly she was, Uncle Quint, ill with terror.

Another reason why roads and streets crumble in the spring, la the wear they receive during the winter months. Traffic Im just a< heavy in winter mm In aQintner The frequent freeaea gnd Ihnwa do their damage, plus the pound intt of trucks end can and nurtures go to piece*. Every edmn imlty la the country .has a Jnb ahead It the repair of at rents ai.d roads this, spring and summer. . ■ ' \ -T Words:Americana are in agreement on at least one point, the integrity and 'wisdom of George Washington. ,Hh views, actual or supposed, carry much weight’wlth many persons today. \.J c ‘ Curiously .enough, two opinions which are autong the beat known of his utterances are usually quoP ed wrongly. Not he but Jefferson warned against - entangling alliances. Washington’s warning, Expressed In a letter to Patrick Henry in 1795, urged that the United States be kept “free from political connections with every other country, to see them independent of all and under the influence of none.’’ Washington was I<>dk quoted also as opposing a third presldent tai term. Actually he declined f< second re-election on account of the at rain which the presidency had Imposed on him, I here Is no evidence that he had altered the opinion, expressed In 17XS to Lnfayette: !’ ”... I Clin sec no propi lel y lii pieeluding mirtmlvcN from ' the aervices of anyjnitn. who on some great emergency slmll tie deemed universally’ most capable of serving th« public." !

with fright.” Her Voice sobered, then: "Unci* Quint, Fm a rebel like you!” “How do you know anything about me ?" demanded Quint. Jennet said, softly, "Hagar. Ever Since I was a little girl Hagar has told me stories about you. How you were always going adventuring into the forests when you were a boy. How you never liked to be washed up for company, fought against putting on your fine suite ...How you always hid when the dancing master came... Oh, ever** so many things she has told me!” "Hagar.” Quint's voice broke on the name, in th* great white house, Hagar, his mother's faithful servant, had been the only on* he loved, his only friend after his mother died. "Sh* has stayed on T" “Can you imagine th* household not falling to pieces with no Hagar T 1 wouldn't have let her go even If Father had been «*- posed to send her away. But—she caught a. feter last winter. Bhe W glad to die—eh* wss old and tired. Except—she said she wished mho knew before sh* died how her boy fared. That was you.” Quint heard a tremor, Indicative of deep feeling, In th* girl'* vutoe. she had spoken, of herself as a rebel, ilk* him. A rebel against th* narrow, artificial convention* imposed upon her by her father, just as his father had tried to force them upon him. A strong Sense of kinship to this girl was filling hirh. "You ar* welcome under our roof, my dear. We will make you a* comfortable as wo can...” Rhoda cam* In. V"This is Alec's daughter, Jennet,” Quint said to her. He knew by the set of her mouth that she wds annoyed at having been cheated of her visit to the other tavern. He went on, quickly, "Her companion at Hodge's became ill last night. There was opportunity to send her back east and Jennet considered it best to do so. Fve been assuring her she Is most Welcome. I think she would like to hear you say that, too.” It was a moment before Rhoda spoke and Quint saw her considering Jennet from the top of her bright head to the toe of her riding boot. Then she said with neither warmth nor coldness: "To what we have.” ( Toby appeared in the door. - "A load’s come.” 'i "My boxes!” cried Jennet, running toward the door. \ Willing hands uploaded the boxes and a hide-eovered trunk from the wagon and at Rhida’s instruction*, carried them up th* narrow stairs to a room abov*.
