May 10th—I am dreadfully unhappy, I cannot really tell whether It is be cause Billy and 1 have quarreled or because I am dis appointed in Ril ly. If he did not respect my judg raent, why did he ask me to go with him to buy a lamp. The one he wanted was atro cious. It had big brass roses all around the base and the shade was covered with red and purple grapes. There was May 12—1 was too unhappy to write yesterday. I sent Billy his ring and then cried all day. I just bad to do it. If he doesn't think I know how to buy anything and intends to laugh at whatever I select, I can imagine myself going out with him to buy^ fur niture for our bungalow. May 14—I haven't heard from Billy, cannot understand him at all. He has always shown deference to my judgment before. Just a week ago to day he complimented me on two gowns that came from Mme. Starr's. May 15—Very buBy. We are pack ing to go to the country. Not a line from Billy. He hasn't even phoned. It is very queer for him to keep the ring and never ask me if I really meant it. May 16—Mother and the trunks and servants are gone. I am alone in the city house. Am waiting until the evening train to go with dad. May 20—The coutry is lonesome. Not half so pretty as last year. And the house looks bare and empty. May 23—Went to the postoffice this morning, and coming home I got sick. The sun was hot and I guess I walked too fast. Just as I reached the little white farm house—the first one beyond ours on the road to the village—I got dizzy and I guess I fainted. When I come too, I was in the parlor of the little house with the nicest, dearest, coziest little country woman fussing over me. She gave me elderberry wine and mado me lie still on the most coiufdrt able red plush sofa.." Then she .told me all about hergelt and "Pappy." How he had been gar dener and she had been cook at the same place for years and years, until the old .mistress died and the home was broken up. They had loved each other for along time, but let the'years aliJe along as some people do without taking things into their own hands. When the old lady died they decided to get married and buy a little farm with their savings. So "Pappy" is not really pappy at all. There are just the two of them. But she says the' son of their old mistress is very good to them and comes often to visit I was very much interested. When I felt better Pappy drove me home in the wagon. May 26—I stop in the little farm house every day. Molly and Pappy are darlings. And their house is so cozy with its bright-colored wallpapers and curtains and carpetB. "Don't you have a lamp for your par lor table, Molly?" I asked. "No, honey," she said "not yet. It takes time to get everything, you see." "How would you like one with grapes on?" I asked impulsively. "Oh, wouldn't it be1 grand, though, honey! I'd be so proud and stuck up I wouldn't be speakin' .to any one. Ml with a grape shade lamp and a morn ing glory phonygraph!" May 26—Oh! I don't know what to write first or how* to say it all. There is so much to—but there I will 'try to get it all down In order. I got up early and went into town with dad and went straight to Morleyt china store, where Billy and went two weeks ago—it seems like two years! The lamp with the grapes was still there, but was marked "Sold." But the salesman said he would see if they had a duplicate in stock. Sura:' enough they had, so I paid for it and had it sent out by express. I did some shopping in town and came home on the 4 o'clock train. Of my way from the station I metvPappy •qd asked him to bring the box. Then I stoped in to congratulate Molly (I forgot to say it was their anniversary.) She wouldn't let me go till she mads me a cup of tea.'* Then Pappy drove up to the gate with' Billy- And they liftedtwc boxes out of the wagonlnstead of one. Billy was so surprised to .see meM waited uitil Kolljr bad introdiiced' W1 8o Pappy uhp^ked the ii^es .iuad out came two lamps exactly alike all covered with grapes and brass fosaft' I began to cry, and Billy seem ed to understand It all in an initaot He .ta darting- He -Just folded die ipXHMfpto etc., at fa^bls aran add klhaed me and eaid h* buiplo'' Blirley, (Ud I didn't vhmui it, and reached UtoA tft. 1)1 •.3 160 Acres, two miles'from town, lies about level house 16x28x24 with full basement barn 16x36x16 with 16 ft lien, small granary, two wells, windmill and tank two 25 acre ho? pas tures, about 105 acres under plow including one 25 acrejhog pasture. 25 acre tame grass pasture, 3500 young trees -local phone, daily mail, consolidated school silo. $Price 44.75.
