and sent Meg down the road at n dip ping pace. There was a certain likeness betwixt the girl and the mare Both showed blood; both were hand some in unusual fashion. Lisabeth was a Spanish blond, and her face was vivid as an autumn flower. Thus Meg's copper red coat and flaxen mane and tail brought her beautifully Into the picture. “I don't see why mammy and the colonel never will pull together,” Lisabeth complained to Meg when they were safe in the big road. Meg was her only confidant, her nearest com-
rade.
“If only they ever did agree 1 might give up to them,” Lisabeth went on plaintively. “Since they won’t I have to stand up for my own way. They'd hate eacli other forever if they thought I was partial.” The big road swept in a long curve halfway round the plantation. Lisa both caught glimpses of the white house, with tall red chimneys, nestling among the trees, all along throughout the first mile. Several times she smiled at the house; once she shook her fist, saying, with n frown: "Oh. you look good, but but you're just the same as a prison! I can’t do anything I want to do, because I'm going some day to be mistress of Willow Wand. But that isn’t the very worst—I must marry some body fit to be master there—If ever they find such a paragon. I won’t do it! I won't! I won't! I'll run away with a drummer man or even a gypsy -if I like him.” Lisabeth was nineteen, vital to her finger tips, an only child and. truth P say. rather badly spoiled. “They fight so, Meg,” Lisabeth ran on, more than ever plaintive-"my mammy and the colonel. He gets up first. By breakfast time he has thought of a brand new reason why I ought to marry that Kinross tiling.” (Type can never express the curl here of Lisa beth’s lips.i “And he tires it at mam my as she gives him his coffee—and spoils her appetite always and makes her cry sometimes. Itut she gels even Long before dinner's ready she's ready witli something good and better in Hump Dillard. <>h. Lord! Fancy living with a body named Hump! I hear myself saying, 'Humpy, dear,’ or My Humpy sugar lump!' I have my opinion of folks who would go and name a boy child Humphreys don't care if the name has been in the family forty thousand years.” Shi? fell silent a little while. The road run on down beet's hill, which was more than half a mass of clay bedded round bowlders. One could drive over It safe enough if only one knew how; also if one’s horse were clear footed and true pulling. Fvidently a passenger had essayed coming up it who lacked all those things. Halfway down the hill upon a small gravelly bench there was an overturned buggy with a man half sitting, half lying beside it. casting rueful glances alternately at the vehicle and the horse, whose head barely showed al. >ve the depths of a roadside
gully.
The horse whickered appealingly to Meg. who answered with the least faint whinny. Lisabeth stopped opposite Hi*' stranger, leaned a little toward him. saying in her father’s most jmli id t i:.-: “fin! Can't you pick yourself up after your Kpill?'' “Certainly I can. I'm doing this all for a lark, of course!" the stranger retorted, pointing to his forehead, bleeding from a long gash, then on to a foot lying helpless in front of him. A smallish brass bound trunk a little beyond explained his plight. In the spill it had somehow fallen upon his ankle, breaking a bone. It was a sample trunk, Lisabeth decided instantly. Therefore the stranger was a drummer. It served him right for trying to go cross country without a driver and with only a single horse, but that was no more than a fleeting thought. She was giggling so inside as she thought what the colonel would say to him. The colonel hated the whole race of drummers, albeit lie admitted they | had their uses. Notwithstanding he! would not refuse succor to this special drummer. Lisabeth chuckled inly as ^ she got out and approached him, say- ; Ing “I’m real sorry you're hurt. At first I thought you were only” “Drunk,” the stranger supplemented ; a t t !.c passed, coloring deeply. She nodded. "But I'll spare yon apologies. ■ Instead I'm going to take yon home with me," she said. “Sure I'll goV the stranger asked Lisabeth gave him a severe glance as she answered: “You needn’t unless you want to. Just tell me who you are, who you travel for and where you're gotiur. and I can send word to them right away. The illgleys down yonder." pointing down the hill, “have two telephones.” “Thank you, but I'd rather go with you. My name is Maclisp. As for the rest, it doesn't matter." the stranger said, trying to rise and falling back, white to the lips. Lisabeth caught his arm, saying severely: “Be still, you, while 1 halloo up Babe and Billy -the Higley boys, you know —to make a bee saddle and tote you to my runabout and take care of your plunder.” “I see,” Macllse said, his eyes dancing In spite of his pain. “Don’t you
doctor said, but somehow he made n very slow recovery. The colonel had sworn over him for exactly half an hour-silently, of course. Humanity and hospitality hot it forbade anything else. Then he had fallen victim to the charm of a personality singularly frank and winning. As for mammy, she hud succumbed Instantly. Lisabeth was not permitted to do more than say "Good morning" through the door so long as Macllse kept his room, but when he came down to sit on the piazza or hobble up and down the garden she followed him like a fascinated child. He had such tales to tell her. Evidently he had been nil over the world. He was thirty, not handsome, hut well made and supremely well bred in spite of his vocation. The Mertons each and several deplored the vocation
tacitly.
He had not fretted In the least over his accident. Instead, after sending off a couple of brief letters, be hail said: “Now everything is fixed. I have only to enjoy myself getting well.” All his solicitude had been for the brass hound trunk. He had beside it a suit case craraful of proper clothes. Moreover, his wallet was so fat, his fees and tips so generous, it was clear he had no anxiety about money. In his first fortnight at Willow Wand all the family had confided to him their plans aud grievances. Set speech was hardly necessary. He had sensed so much before it came. After seeing the Kinross tiling aud the long descendod Hump Dillard his judgment veered shamelessly to Lisabeth's side. “But you need a man of your own to fight for," he explained to her ju dicially, "somebody—anybody almost —to oppose to these two. Von insist that you can do better than take either. You’ve got to show mammy and the colonel, even if they don't come from Missouri. Don’t you know anybody you could idealize into a hero?" Lisabeth shook her head, murmuring: “I don’t know him, hut I know of him. It's so aggravating he won't come home. I wonder if you ever met him—M-M Murray. lie's boon globe trotting ever since he left college. I made up my mind to marry him—nobody else two years ago, when 1 went all over his house, not because it's so line, hut for the name—Goodheart. I love that. And I'm sure I'd love him too. But how can I when he keeps away till the time?” “It might he harder still if you saw him. No, I’ve never met him, hut I've heard a lot about him not much to his good," Maclise said, scowling oddly, "if lie’s the only rival you can scare up l see nothing for it but to propose myself. You found me, you know, and said finding was keeping." “Aud I meant it—right then,” Lisabeth saitl joyously. “Even if you are a drummer 1 believe it will be great fun to go along with you. I might even drum for things myself." “That’s a bargain,” Macllse said, holding her tight, but not kissing her. “I’m afraid, though, you won't stick to it when you know I’m a rank, rank Impostor not a hit of a drummer You don’t even know my right name.” “I don’t care—I know you," Lisabeth cried, clinging closer. Then lie kissed her twice, saying, with the least shake in hi* voice: “Thank God! Sweetheart, I never before was so proud of myself. But the name is a pretty decent one. I'm asking you formally to he Mrs. Marmuduke Macllse Murray. I was going home with my family papers in that trunk when it lamed me and gave me something very much more precious. Now', what do you think mammy and the colonel will say?” “It doesn’t matter. I say ‘Yes,’ ” Llsabeth whispered. “Still, I believe they won't make much fuss about it.”
Vocation and Avocation. The word “vocation” is derived from the Latin voco, I call; vocatus, calling. | “Avocation” is derived from a voco. I call away or divert; avocatus, calling away or diverting. A man’s calling or vocation is that for which he has prepared himself, for which he is fitted or for which he has received a call, as we say especially in regard to n religious vocal ion. But when a man is called away avocatus—from Ids regular employment and engages in a diversion or \ recreation of any kind the word avocation applies to such diversion or calling away. The recreation may he of a very serious nature, as some profound study or arduous work, hut it is not his vocal Inn, The schoolboy has no vocation. He is fitting himself for one But ho may have many avocations. Gladstone's vocation was statesman ship; among Ids avocations were the study of the classics, making translations and sometimes chopping down trees. London M. \ I*.
