Samuel Dillaway stroked bla little gray beard with one sunburned hand and flourished pipe wltb the other. "1 look at It thiw way/' be said di dactlcally. "The lime baa come for us to have a cistern on the roof of the extension, and Joe Mellen seem* to think the rime's proper for him and Stella to get married. Now they can wait unother year or two until 1 can better afford to have a wedding. In the meantime. I've got to have that extern. Some Sue day we'll b^ run ning pf water, then what will you do'(" '/nonsense, Samuel," protested^ Mrs IUIlnwHy earnestly. "We've used the well for twenty-five years and It's nev er showed no signs of getting dry." "I can I afford a wedding, Oelia," said Samuel decisively "Ii won't cost you anything to speak of. Most of Stella's clothes are made and we'll have Just a quiet little wed ding with nobody here" "That's Just the kind." Interrupted Mr. IMUHWMV Jocosely "If there's a wedding before I say so, there won't be nobody lo it, and no Hiliaway was married without style.'' "Without fiddlesticks.'" snapped Mrs Dillaway "Something's got to be done I shun't have Stella's life spoil ed just -:o's you can experiment with a cistern There's money mid io spare for her to be married right now—this very week." "The) won't be married in my bouse." exploded Stella's futher, danc ing with excitement, "and I'll forbid the banns anywhere's else." "Stellu *iI be married to home here, and you'll give her away. Just put that in your pipe and smoke it!" said Mr iMllaway's spouse, bustling back to her kitchen Stella. tall, pale girl, with tired gray eyes and prett ,. pathetic face, looked up wistfully as her mother en tered the room "What did he say. mother?" "Same old story, Stella. Don't you care. I've got nn idea." Mrs. Dilla- 1 in# room open Wednesdays and batur days from two to four p. m.

"You get ready to be married next Wednes day evening at 0 o'clock, and I'll guar antee your pa'll give you away fast enough." "You're the best mother!" cried Stel la joyfully. "Now I'll run down and tell Joe." On Wednesday afternoon of the fol lowing week, the very day set for Stella's marriage. Samuel Dllla way came flaming up the walk to the kitch en door very much like one of his own belligerent cockerels. "Scoot, Stella!" warned her mother. "Tour pa's beard about the wedding. Well, I should have told him In a few minutes anyway. He's got to have it broke to him, but not till 1 get ready." When Mr. Dllla way reached the kitchen door and Sung It wide open he rushed straight Into the arms of his excited wife. "Samuel, what the lan's up in the cistern? I've heard the queerest sounds up there. Seems like some thing alive's in there. If there is it ought to be got out. for the wind's around to the east, and we're bound to have rain tomorrow.". Mr. Dlllaway, attacked on his weak est point, looked up at the great round cistern perched freakishly on the kitchen roof, with long leaden pipes running from the main roof of the house Into the covered top. It had been completed Ue day before, and Samuel was waiting Impatiently .for.1 the first rains to fall and enter the ?la tern that he mlght prove that his idea ior supplying water to kitchen and bathroom would work successfully to the utter confnsion of the-village wa ter company, whose yearly water rates were mtich lower than the cost of Dllla way's cistern. From within the cistern there came queer, scratching, metallic noises and, strange shrill cries of distress. Mr. Dllla way removed his hat and coat and then climbed the ladder that led to the kitchen roof. Mrs. Dill- war panted heavily up the back (ta'.rs and tq'ieezed her ample form through a bedroom window and came out on the roof beside a\jr husband. "What you doing. Celia?" demanded Mr. Dtllnway testily. "You'U fell und break your ne-k. that's what you'll do Go ID the house" Quite confident that IK? bad been oboyed. Mt Dill away walked across the creaking, ml tllng tlD roof to the cistern, whose top rose three feet above his bead. Lead ing up to the top of the cistern was a narrow Iron ladder One-half of the circular lid of the cistern was propiel open Froru his opening there pro ceeded the strange sounds beard from below. "What Is It?" asked Mrs. Dillaway anxiously. "I don't know Maybe it's the cat "The cat's In the kitchen. Samue Now. be careful." for Mr. Dlllaw.i was propelling his small, round persp up the ladder with (longerons rapldln "Hello!" exclaimed Mr. DUlawu.v flercely, peering Inside. "What Is It?" pleaded his wife. "Nothing much," returned Mr. Dill" way sarcastically "Only one of mi prize cockerels chasing his tall wound down there He's got to get out nt there tonlpht or he'll run himself to death. Con you get the stepladder on' to me, CellaJ I've got todlmb down Injildj hat, 'T'11 fete!) In a minute. Samm-i The telephone's ringing. I'll be rlgl:' back Vou might Just drop down thai three feet and be catching your bin! I can get I he i:td1er over to you." With that she was gone, and Mi Dillaway waited In vain for her r, turn, each moment growing more pop pery as to temper. Having request''l his wife to bring the stepladder M: Dillaway wculd not demean himself by fetching It himself, so after a peri'"1 of Impatience he threw himself gin gerly over the edge, clutched tight.v the rim and swung down Inside th" clsiern. Then he dropped with a clang Ing ibud to the dry. zinc lined floor of his iistern. Around this siippery surface he chim ed the elusive cockerel in narrowl'i clrcles until in some inexplicable man ner he found I hat he was pursuing himself frantically around the weu while the cockerel leaned exhausted againsi the side It was an easy nun ter to i'iiptlire ihe bird and tie his leg. securely «iih a handkerchief. "Celia!" called Mr. Dillaway Id a commanding voice. He looked up a the semicircular opening overhead and saw the deep blue of the sky and notli lug else. "Celia." he called again "Where Is thai ladder?" nis voice echoed with a hollow n,. tallic boom and seemed thrown back upon him. The cockerel squawked feebly. Steps creaked slowly across the tin roof without and some one laborious!} climbed the Iron ladder and peered rosy faced over the opening. It was Mrs. Dillaway. "Where is the stepladder?" demand ed Air. Dillaway Irascibly. "In the house." "Why don't you bring It out here? I've got to get out of this." "1 should think you'd like to stay in it—It's a dreadful nice cistern. You think a lot more of It than you do of your own daughter," returned Mrs. Dillaway quleily. "Nonsense, Ceiia! I won't listen to such talk. You get that ladder down here at once." .... ®al* Celia. "Not till you give your consent to Stella's marrying Joe Mellen tonight." "I'll do no such thing," roared Mr. DUlaway wratbfully. "I see uow. Celia. You put this cockerel in here yourself. It's a shameful imposition!" "You coming to the wedding?",,de manded Celia. "No!" bellowed Mr. Dillaway. "I'll stay here till doomsday 6rst." "Very well, Samuel. I'll drop you down some wedding cuke. The min ister's coming now. They'll be married at 6 o'clock, and Stella hoped you'd give her away—the Dlllaways was al ways married iu style, you know!" she flung back over her shoulder aB.sbe backed down the ladder. If Mr. Dillaway had not been too busy working himself into a ragevbe might have noted the strained anxiety in her voice. When her steps had creaked away into the house he peered at bis watch. It was 5:80 now, and In a half hour. If Celia kept ber word. Stella would be Joe Mellen's wife. rHe had been nicely duped. When several hours had passed Mr. Dillaway again consulted his watch, and found It to be B:4B.- Time certain ly, dragged in a zinc lined cistern no companion save a draggled cocke rel..
