It was in the woods that the girl of tha Limberlost found her education, her love, her happi ness and other good things, so, rightly, the air of tha trees is in this story of her life. Here is a tale for lovers of the woods and for otherswho like a simple story wall told by one who knows tha forest, can tell about "home folks" and can find the interest in everyday lives. Through these pages flutter the brilliant butter fly of tangled romance, the mora sober butterfly, no less beautiful, of noble, quiet 'lives, wall lived, and the gray moth of sorrow borne needlessly for many years. And if you listen closely you may hear the buzz of the little, busy existence of Billy, a young ster worth your knowing. CHAPTER I, Wherein Elnora Goes to High School. "CTlLNOnA CO.MSTOCE. have you lost your senses?" demanded the angry voice of Katharine Cotnstock as the glared at her daughter. "Why, mother?" faltered the girl. "Don't you 'why mother' mel" cried Mrs. Comstock. "You know very well what I mean. You've given me uo peace until you've had your way about thU going to school business. I've llxed you good enough, aud you're ready to start. IJut no child of mine walks tlie streets of Ounbasha looking like a play actress woman. You wet your hair aud comb It down modest itud decent aud then be off or you'll havo no time to find where you be long." Klnora gave one despairing glance at the white face, framed in a most becoming riot of reddish brown hair, which she saw In the little kitchen mirror. Then she untied the narrow black ribbon, wet the comb and plas tered the waving curls close to her Lead, bound them fast, pinned on the skimpy lilack hat and started for the back door. Mrs. Comstock watched the girl down the long walk to the gate and out of sight on the road In the bright 6unshlne of tho first Monday of Sep tember. 1 "I bet a dollar she gets enough of it by night!" Mrs, Comstock said posi tively. Llnora walked by instinct, for her pyes were blinded with tears. She left the road where It turned south at the corner of the Limberlost. climbed a unake fence and entered a path worn by her own feet. Dodging under wil low and scrub oak branches, she at Inst caruo to the faint outline of an old trail made In the days when tho preciouti timber of the swamp was guarded by armed men. This path she followed until she reached a thick clump of bushes. From the debris in tho end of a hollow log she tool: a key that unlocked the padlock of a large .weather beaten old box, Inside of which lay beveral books, a butterlly nppara tus and an old cracked mirror. Tho walls were lined thickly with gaudy butterflies, dragon files and moths. She Mt up the mirror, and, once more pull ing the ribbon from her hair, she Hhook tho bright maBS over her shoulders, tossing It dry iu the sunshine. Then she straightened It, bound It loosely nnd replaced her hat. She tagged vain ly at tho low brown calico collnr and Razed despairingly at tho generous length of tho narrow skirt. She lifted It as Mm would have Hkcd It to he cut If possible. That disclosed the heavy leather high shoes, at sight of which ulio looked positively III and hastily dropped the skirt. Locking the case ogaln, he hid the key and hurried down tho trail. She followed It around the north end of the swamp and then struck- Into a footpath crossing a farm in the direc tion of tho spires of tho city to tho northeast. Again she climbed a ftnen nud'was on the open road, For an In tunfc she leaned against tho fence, star Jug before her, then turned nud looked back. Behind hor lay tho laud on which she had been born to drudgery nd a mother who made no pretense of laving' her. Hcfore her lay the city, through whoso schools she hoped to And means of escape and the wwy to reach the things for which she cared. When sho thought of how she looked nht leaned luoro heavily ngainst the fence and gcoaned. When she thought ut turning back nnd wearing such clothing In ignorance all the days of her life bho set her teeth firmly and went hastily toward Onabasha. She approached tho great stone high school building, entered bravely and 1 inquired her way to the olllce of the I superintendent. There sho learned that ! she should have come the week before and arranged for her classes. "I finished last spring at I'.rushwood 1 Fchool, district So. '.)," said Klnora. "I have been studying all summer. 1 i um quite buro 1 can do tho first year work if 1 have a few days to. get ' started." I "Of course, of course." assented the superintendent. "Almost invariably country pupils do good work. You j may enter first year, and If you don't fit we will find it out speedily. Your 1 tenchors will tell you the list of books 1 you must have, and If you will como with me I will show you the way to i the auditorium. It Is now time for i opening exercises. Take any beat you j find vacant." lie was gone. I Klnora stood before tho entrance and stared Into the largest room she ever had seen. The lloor sloped down to n yawning stage, on which n band of musicians, grouped around n grand piano, wero tuning their Instruments. Kvory one else was seated, but no one paid any attention to the -white faced girl stumbling half blindly down tho aisle next the farthest wall. So sho went on to the very end facing the -tngc. No ono moved, and she could not summon courage to crowd past tithers to Bovcral empty seats she saw. At tho end of tho aisle sho paused In desperation as fihe stared back at tho whole forest of faces, most of which were now turned upon her. In one burning flash came the full realization of her scanty dress, her pitiful little hat and ribbon, her big. heavy shoes, her Ignorance of where to go or what to do, and from a sick ening wave which crept over her she felt she was going to become very 111. Then out of the mass she saw a pair of big brown boy eyes three scats from her, and there was a message in them. "Without, moving his body he leached forward and with a pencil touched the back of the scat before him. Instantly Klnora took another step, which brought her to u row of vacant front seats. Sho heard tho giggle behind her. Tho knowledge that she woie the only hat In tho room burned her. Kvery matter of moment und some of none at nil cut and stung. She had no books. Where should sho go when this was over? What would sho give to be on tha trail going home! Ho fore sho realized what was com ing every ono had risen and the room was emptying rapidly. Klnora hurried nfter the nearest girl and In the press , lit the door touched her sleeve timidly. "Will you plense tell me where the freshmen go?" she inked huskily. The girl gave her one surprised i :lance nnd drew away. , "Same place as tho fresh women," hhe answered, and those nearest her laughed. Klnora stopped praying suddenly, and the color swept Into her face. "I'll wager you ore the first person I nitvt when I find It," she wild nnd stopped ' lmrt. "Not that! Oh, I must not do I that!" sho thought In dismay. "Make . an enemy tho first tiling I dooh, not I that!" , Fho followed with her eyes ns tho young people separated In tho hall, some climbing stulrs, some disappear I Ing down side halls, some entering i Joom near by. Sue saw tho gin over- lako the brown eyed boy and speak to him, and he glanced back at Klnora. i and now there was a scowl on his face. . Then she stood uloue In the hall. ', l'reser.tly u door opened and a young I woman came out nnd entered nuother room. Klnora waited until sho return 1 ed and hurried to her. "Would you tell mu where the froshmcn are?" she 1 panted. i "Straight down the hall, three doors to your left," was tho answer as the lrl passed. I "Ono minute, please oh, please!" beg- ged Klnoru. "Do I knock or just open ' tho door?" "Uo In aud tako a seat," replied tho teacher. "What If there aren't any seats?" gasped Klnora. "Classrooms are never half Oiled. Thero will be plenty," was tho an swer. Klnora removed her hat. Thero was no place to put It, so shn carried It in hor hand. Sho looked Infinitely bet ter without it. After several efforts she at last opened tho door and, step ping inside, faced a smaller and more concentrarcd battery of eyes. "Be scatfd," mid the professor n. chnt'iro of the class, mill then, because lie saw Klnorit was desperately em barrassed, lie proceeded to lend her a book and to ask her If she had studied hlltebra. Sho said she hud a little, but not the satno book they were usltij;. He nuked her If she felt Unit she could do the work they were bef,'lnnlnt,'. and Bile said she did. That was how It happened that three all those acresrecently the new gravel minutes afler entering the room she, road tax added, thu expense of living was compelled to take her place at tho and only the work of two women to blackboard besldo the girl of the hall, meet all of It. She was Insane to think whose Hushed face and angry eyes 1 she could conie to the city to school, avoided meeting Klnora's. Being com Her mother had been right. Tho girl pulled to concentrate on her proposl- decided that If only she lived to get tlon, sho forgot herself. When the pro-1 homo sho would stay there und lead fessor asked that nil pupils sign their any sort of life to uvold more of this work she firmly wrote "Klnora Com 1 torture. Bad as what she wished to stock" under her demonstration. Then escape had been, it wna nothing like she took her seat and waited with this. She never could live down tho whlto lips and trembling limbs as one t movement that went through the class nfter another tho professor called the I when she Inadvertently revealed the names on the board, while their own fact that she had expected her books ers arose and explained their proposl 1 to bo furnished. Her mother would lions or flunked if they had not found t not get them. That settled tho ques a correct solution. Sho was so eagei tlon. to calch their forms of expression and , Hut tho end of misery Is never in a prepare herself for her recitation that iJUrry to come, for before the day was she never took her eyes from the work ovor the superintendent entered the on the board until clearly und distinct- room and explained that pupils from ly -r.inora uornsiocu" cancel mo pro fes'or. The dazed girl stared at the board, Ono tiny curl added to the top of thu first curve of the "m" in her name hail transformed It from a good old ling, llsli patronymic that any girl might bear proudly to Comstock. Klnora stared speechless. When and how did It happen? She could feel the wave of smothered laughter In the air around her. A rush of anger turned her face scarlet and her foul sick. A hot an swer was on her lips. Tin- voice of the professor nddrc-sod her stralghtly. "This pioposltlon seems to lie beauti fully demonstrated, MNs Cornstalk." he said. "Suieiy you can toll us how you did It." That word of praise saved her. Sh' was toll, straight nnd hitndMinie as she arose. "Of course I can o.plain my work, she said In natural tones. "What 1 can't explain is how I happened to lie mi tupld as to make a mistake In 1 ! ! I I II l?t,. "Did you really let that oavvky piecs cf calico get ahead of you7" writing my own name. I must have been a little nervous. l'leau excus me.'' She went to the hoard, swept off the signature with one stroke, then, with out a tremor, lewrote it clearly. "My name Is t'ote.stoei;," iu. said distinct ly. She turned to her wont and, follow itu: the formula used by the others, made her lirst hli:h school recitation. The face of Professor Henley was n study. As Klnora loo!: her seat lie looked at her steadily. "It puzzles me," he said deliberately, "how you can write as heautiful a demonstra tion and explain it as clearly as evei has been done iu any of my clas.-e nnd still lie so di-tiii-bed as to make a mistake In your own name. Are you very turo you did that your.iclf, Miss Comstock?" "It is lmposslhlo that any ono else Hhould have done it," answered Klnora steadily. "I am very jrlad you think so." said the r-.-ofe.ssor. "Ilplnjr freshmen, till ot you are strantrers to me. I rlniulrt hate to hetrln the year with you feel ins then.' wos one nmuiiK you sman onotiKh to do a trick like thai. Tho next proposition, please." When the hour was Kone I lie class filed hack to the utudy room, aud Kl nora followed In desperation because she did not know where ele to i;o. .mo couin not stuiiy as she liai no hooks, and when the class attain left tlie room to o to another piofe.wn for the next recitation she went also. At least they could put her out if tilie did not heloiiK there. Noon came at Inst, and she kent with the others nn. I til they dispersed on the sidewalk. She was so abnormally self conscious she fancied nil tlie hundreds of that latifjlilnt; throng saw and jested at her. When she passed the brown eyed hoy walking; with the girl of her en counter she know, for she heard him nay. "Did you really let that cawky piece of calico get ahead of youV" The uuswer was Indistinct. After noon she returned to the high school, followed home other pupils to the coatroom, hung her hat and found her way to the study where she had been In the morning. Twice that after noon with nching head she faced Btraiifto professors In different branch, es. Once she escaped notice, the sec ond time the worst hnpponed. Sho was asked a question she could not answer. "Have you not decided on your course and .secured your books?'1 in quired the professor. "I have decided on my course," re plied Klnora; "1 do not know who to ask for my book's." "Ask 7" tho professor was bewildered. "I understood tho books were fur nished," faltered Klnora. "Only to thoho urhiKlnj; nit order .'rum the township trustee," replied tho , "fessor. .'mi: Oh, no!" cried Klnora. "I will m i u H 1 '! 7 I. 1 j m pi in.
