RESOLUTIONS
Chapter 94
I Had Millie only Known It, tie best
thing that ever happened to her was
Humphrey's enforced absence of a
"week or as it turned out, o a little more than a week.
First there was the awful emptiness
!of the little house. The last part of
her ride had been in the gathering
dark, it was quite dark when she reach
ed home. The kitchen stove was out,
no dinner purposely was prepared.
But Millie lit the lamp, and after
reading the note, went mechanically
about making up the Are and cooking a meal from canned foods. A neighbor ran in to ask whether she minded being alone at night, and sat and talked
and commiserated with her upon being
alone.
But the rest of the women took it as
a matter of course. They were used to having their husbands away months,
even years at a time why should Mil
lie mind being alone for a week?
It la lonely, she offered.
"Yes, but then it's only a week, was
given here for consolation.
As Humphrey was away there was
no use cooking big meals, so she lived
on eggs and canned things, woman
fashion, meals that took only a few
moments to prepare. She went out on her horse every day to take up time, once she began an elaborate canning of fruit, when the supply store got in
an extra large lot of sugar. She scald
ed her hands and after a few weeks her canned stuff fermented but at least she felt virtuously domestic while ehe worked. Her nose grew red from the steam and heat and her hair wild and 6ticky but it did not matter, because there was no Humphrey to see her. She never knew how much she missed riding up the trail to meet him, until
Che rode that way and met only his workmen coming back. And when
Jones himself returned alone, and stopped to tell her that Humphrey had gone on to the city to wind up a deal they were both in, she eat in her bedroom and cried for an hour. Humphrey came back jubilant. "I guess we can go back pretty
soon," he said. "That Is, if you want Hated to leave you alone, but this was a chance, and we had to jump at it." He poured out a Jumble of details about timber and acreage, about buying a sawmill and planing mill, running a creek into a 6luice down a mountain to carry logs, shipping to Portland, even about buying a ship to send lumber across the Pacific. Millie listened absently. She only understood that at last Humphrey had put over the big deal he always planned, and they would have money enough at last to go back to Wissakeagan if they wanted. "Not much at first," Humphrey said. "But in a year or so it will begin to pay. Of course, if I'd had more to put in, my share would have been bigger. But we can buy a little house in town
again, with a mortgage on it, and in a few years have as much income as we used to have and after that, more." Millie smiled at him. She was busy cooking a big dinner for him like all the other wives in the settlement, whose first duty on the arrival of "their men" was to feed them enor-j mous amounts of food. "So we can go if we want,"- Millie said, sitting for a moment at the table while the dinner cooked. "Yep! Only" he laughed a little. "Do you want to, Millie? I sorta like it here. Don't you? It's done you a heap of good." He went on, obviously
gathering up his courage. "You're so
my head off most times when I opened my mouth back home. Now, I believe you like to have me talk."
Evidently he expected a lecture for this daring speech. But Millie only
smiled a little.
"I guess we had too much of each other back home," she Eaid. "I got tired of you, and I expect you did of
me, too. It is different here, we're dif
ferent from these other people. We we have to depend on each other." She had very nearly expressed it. Only the truth was that she had come to depend upon Humphrey in her old way, since she was under his influence exclusively. She got up and went back to the kettles on the stove. Humphrey came behind her and slid one arm awkwardly around her.
"Mind that?" he asked. "No." She leaned her head hack
against his shoulder.
"Did you miss me? She did not answer, but nodded her
head vigorously, still resting against his shoulder, a romantic attitude somewhat spoiled by the fact that one hand
held a large, dripping wooden spoon.
She had missed him terribly. She
had even envied the women with five and six children because the children were so companionable in the father's
absence.
She told him bo: and he kissed her.
Humphrey never failed to go Into a
mood of the deepest tenderness whenever there was anything to bring up
the memory of the one little baby that
had died, as soon as it was born.
"Don t you think we'd get along
better than we used to If we went back?" he asked falterrlngly. And she
nodded her head again. Tomorrow Liongtnga
Heart Problems
NEWCASTLE, Ind, June SO. Corn
has been helped immensely in Henry
county by the. recent timely rainfall.
said County x Agent Test, Thursday.
The dry weather in some platea had allowed unusual damage hy the corn
aphis or louse, hut the rain is expected to check them and to force the corn so that it will outgrow damage.
The long continued dry weather also
allowed severe damage from rust on
small grain crops this year, one or tne best looking wheat fields in the county being so badly damaged that it was
not cut Black rust also, which is harbored on the common barberry bush, is said to be increasing, and the destruction of the barberry bushes is being urged. Owing to the drought, the oat3 crop 13. cut seriously, both in straw and grain. '
Dear Mrs. Thompsons: I am an only daughter, and adore and have adored
my mother since babyhood. Everything I do Is for her work, pleasure and all. The reason isj that I almost lost her when I was ai kiddie and It made quite an impressSon. Now she is quite well, not robust1 but well for her age. But I am afraM I have made her selfish and now I. am bound tight all around. Although 13 am supposed
to be old enough to know my own
mind, I don't When some one asks me to go somewhere for awhile I am
so afraid for what she will say. If I do go I am agraid of the pouts and
fretting afterward. A wtaple day away is awful and I seldom db it if there
is any other way out She doesn't want me to have any onecome to see
me as it is too much work, even if I help ever so much. Please tell me if I canthelp mother to be unselfish about sharing me with others as she is afraid she is going
to lose me. SUSAN It. You are inflicting the role of martyr upon yourself and suffering unnecessary. Stop taking yourself, your mother and life so seriously. Instead of looking through gray glasses put on those of thd rose hue. Life is not routine. It is brim full of humor, pathos, romance, adventure and everything else you might wish for. The fault is with you because you close your eyes to the little things of life and disregard joy unless it comes in large measure.
Postoffice Carriers Find Empty Purses In Boxes We know now where all of the lost pocketbooks go. It wa3 revealed quite unexpected by
the last person one would look to for
information on the subject Clarence
Foreman, superintendent of mails at
the local postoffice.
Mr. Foreman was telling about the things other than mail that are found
in the mail boxes in the city and coun
fir lrnrn Afton f ! n Tinnli-otKrkit-e " ha
kl J . U IV 11 JIWV,!.'.. U1Va.l, 1-1 -J . said, "but there never is any money j In them. People find them on the(
street l suppose, ana men not Know ing what to do with them put them in mail boxes. Purses are quite often found by the carriers, and they are all brought into the office according to instructions. "Of course many things are found in the individual mail boxes at homes in the city. Persons passing bills or other advertising matter find the mail box a handy receptacle. Main boxes,
however, should not be used for matter other than mail. "Eural carriers -often find articles In farm house mall boxes, and we always try to get to the persons using the boxes for such purposes and tell them It is not allowed." Now that we've learned where the empty pocketbooks go, we've been wondering about what becomes of the ones losUwith the money.
