'The Idyl of Twin Fires'
By Walter Pritchard Eaton. Copyright 1914-lb, \y Doubleday, Page & Co.
Next Week "Shea of the Irish Brigade," by Randall Parrish.
(Continued from onr last issue.)
I blushed at my own peevish
ness, and thanked him humbly.
At the house we found awaiting a
strange-looking man, email,
'wrinkled, unkempt, with a noee of
a decidedly brighter hue than the
rest of his countenance. He was
tapping at the Mils of the house.
"How about it, Hard? Ce
ment?" said Bprt.
Hard Cider nodded to me, with
a keen .glance from his little,
blood-Hhot eye*.
"Yep," .he said. "Stucco over It.
Brick underplnniu's be as good <v.
in mi. Go inside."
i Hard Cider began on the kitch
en floor, ripping up a plank to ex
amine the timbers beneath. They
were huge beams of hand-hewn
oak.
"Plane them planks down and
lay a maple floor over 'em," said
Hard, with an air of finality.
"Very well," said f meekly.
"But my woodwork has got to lie
cypress in the living-room."
"New step," he added, as we
came to the door up into the main
house.
"Hold on!" said I. "This door
leads into the front hall. 1 don't
want that, I want this door closed
up and put into the north room,
which I'm going to use for a ill n
! Ing room."
i "Ain't goin' ter cut in the
kitchen, eh?" Very well," said
Hard. He Jotted something in a
'dirty notebook.
We found that the north room
1 had apparently been used only as
i a kind of storaKe closet. It had
i never been papered, and the walls,
||wtta a little touching up, were
[ready for kalHOinining. Hard ex-
Htniiieri the plaster with the loving
'eye of a connoisseur.
"Built ter last in them days,"
I beard him mutter.
The room extended half the
depth of the house. Beyond it was
a second room of the same size.
• We now crossed the hall to the
south side, where there were two
corresponding rooms. Here, as on
jthe other side, the chimneys and
fireplaces were on the Inside
twalls, and the mantles were of a
but very good colonial pat
tern.
I "Now I want these two rooms
jmade into one," said I. "I want
j!one of the doors into the hall
jjclosed up, and a glass door cut out
'of the south side to a pergola
iveranda. Can you do It?"
I Hard examined the pnrtition.
"Ye])," he said finally, "ef yer
} don't mind a big cross-beam
showin'. She's solid oak. Hey ter
• alter yer chimney," he added, "or
yer'll hey two fireplaces."
"Flue!" cried I. "A lons room
with two fireplaces, and a double
.|faced bookcase coming out at
'right angles between them, with
two settles below it, one for each
I fireplace! Iletter than I'd
dreamed!"
"Suit yerself," said-Hard.
: We next arranged tentatively
for a brick veranda with a pergola
| top on the southern end of the
i house, and then went upstairs.
liHere the four small chambers
'needed little repair save that over
lithe dining room, which was to be
I converted into the bathroom.
The great space over the
i kitchen was to be cut into two
i servants' bedrooms. Hard led us
I silently downstairs again, and
' through the front door.
My front doorway had once
"been a thing of beauty, with two
lit! I" panel windows at the sides,
; and above all, on the outside, a
heavy, hand-carved broken pedl
| ment, like the top of a Governor
i Winthrop highboy. Hard looked
> at it with admiration gleaming in
'his eyes.
"Pi rather restore this than all
the rest o' the job," he said, and
his ugly, rumsoaked little face
positively shone with enthußiasin.
"Go ahead," said I; "only I
want the new tteps of brick, wide
ly spaced, with a lot of cement
showing between. I'm going to
1 terrace it here in front, too—a
grass terrace for 10 feet out."
i ••Thet's riKht. thefs rißht!" he
exclaimed. "Now I'll go order the
lumber, an' bring yer the estimate
termorrer."
"Seems to b« the usual pro
ceeding would be the other way
around!" I gasped.
"Well, yer want me ter do the
job, don't yer?" he said brusque
ly.
"Of course, of course!" I
amended hastily. "Go ahead!"
Hard climbed into a broken
down wagon and disapepared.
"Don't you worry," said Bert. "I'll
see he treaU yer right."
"It Isn't that," I said sadly.
"It'i that Ire Ju»t remembered I
forgot to include any painters'
bllla In my own estimate."
Bert looked at me in a kind of
speechless pity for a moment.
Then he said slowly: "Wai, I'll
be swlzzled! Wait till I tell maw!
An' her always stickin' up fer a
college education!"
"Just for that, I'll show you!"
cried I. "I never trimmed an ap
ple tree In my life, but I'm going
to work on this orchard, and I'm
going to Rave it, all myself. It
will bo better than yours in three
years."
"Go to It," laughed Bert. "Come
back fer dinner, though. Now
I'll drive over ter tne depot an' git
yer freight. They telephoned this
inornln 1 It had come."
Bert went off laughing and
presently 1 saw him driving to
ward town. I walked up to the
field to greet Mike.
"One ploughs tough, sor," said
THi; TAOOMA TIMES.
Mike, as the panting horse* paused
for breath, "but she'll harrer
down good. Be the seed perta
ters come yet?"
"Bert has gone for them," said
1. "Let me hold the plough once."
Mike, I fancied, winked at his
son Joe, wbo was a strong lad of
20, with an amiable Irish grin.
So everybody was regarding me as
a Joke! Well, I wan, even then,
as strong as Mike, and I'd held a
sweep, if not a plough!
I picked up the handles and
lifted the plough around, setting
the point to the new furrow. Joe
started the horses. The blade
wabbled, took a mad skid for the
burface, and the handles hit me a
blow in the rib* which knocked
my breath out. Mike grinned.
I set my teeth and the plough
hsare, and again Joe started the
horses. Putting forth all my
strength, I held the plough under
the sod thin time, but the furrow
I ploughed started merrily away
from the straight line. The sod
came over the point like a comber
over a boat's bow, and the horses
■topped with a jerk, while the
point went down and again the
handles smote me in the ribs.
"It ain't so azy as It looks," said
Mike.
Til, do It if I haven't a rib left,"
said I grimly.
And I did It. My first full fur
row looked like the track of a
sniike under the influence of
liquor, but I reversed the plough
and came hack fairly straight. I
was beginning to get the hang of
It.
My next furrow was respectable
but not deep. But on the second
return trip I ploughed her deep,
and that without exerting nearly
so much beef as on the first try.
"There," said I, triumphantly,
"you plough all the rest as deep
as that!"
"Begobs, ye'ze all right!" cried
Mike.
1 went back again down -the
slope with all the ,loy of a small
boy who lmd suddenly made an
older boy rocognlze his Import
ance.
Uert came driving up with his
wagon. We opened up the wood
sheds and storehouses behind the
kitchen, stowed In the fertilizers,
the various seeds, the farm im
plements, and so on.
Next we got my books and fur
nitiue into the shed, and, tired
and dirty, we drove on up the
road for dinner.
That afternoon I went back to
my orchard, got out my shiny and
■ ii.irp. new double-edged pruning
sim. and sawed till both arms
ached.
I obeyed tho first rule of the
government Hulletlu ou Pruning,
to saw clohb to the trunk, bo the
bark can cove the scar. I obeyed
the rule to let light into the tops.
One old tree, split by a winter
strom, I decided to chop down en
tirely. About half-past three, as
1 supposed it to be, I went for an
ax, and heard Mike calling the
cows. I looked at my watch. It
was 5 o'clock!
My arms ached. My ribs, where
the plough handles had hit, were
sore. I was sleepily, dellciously
tired. I had done a real day's
work. I was rather proud of it.
too, proud that I could stand so
much physical toil. After all, it I
la human-to glory in your mus
cles.
"Good night," I called to Mike,
as I started for home.
"Good night, sor," he sanK
cheerily back.
I took a hath, rubbing my ribs
and aching nhoulders very tender
ly, ate my supper hungrily, and
settled down to my manuscripts.
In ten minutes I was nodding.
"Good heaven!" said I, "I'll
have to got up in the morning
and work."
So I bade Mrs. Temple wake
mo when she got up at 5.
"Well," I reflected, as I tum
bled into bed, "you can't have
everything and a country estate,
too Fancy me getting up at t
o'clock!"
CHAPTER 111.
Th. Hermit Hlngs at Twilight.
The work went on rapidly. I
finished the orchard and set to
work on the lawn.
The plumbers came and Install
ed the water pipes and the heat-
Ing system. Hard Cider was a
marvel of a carpenter. He grasped
suggestions quickly and designed
a wonderful double sette and
book-selves to match the two
mantels In the living room.
I bad not been so happy and
contented in years, the only draw
back being that I had to read the
manuscripts the publishing house
sent me. I wanted to spend all
my time working on my little
farm.
Then one night, when I went to
supper, Mrs. Temple was btttmiiu;
"Why so happy?" said I
"Well," said she, "in tfe jlr.st
place, I've got you the hottfeteep
er I want."
"By which I Infer that she
the one I want, too?" I asked.
"Of course," aaid Mrs. Temple,;
on whom irony had no effect.'
"She's Mrs. Pllllg, from Slab City,
and she's an artist In plea."
"Go on; you .Interest me
strangely!" I cried. "Is her hut
hand dead, and has sh« cot a
small hoy?"
"Pilllg ain't dead, worse luck,"'
Bald Mrs. Tempi*, "but he's whar
he won't trouble you. I (ftiess
Peter won't trouble you n6m»,
neither. He's a nice box, and he'll
be awful handy round th« plan
"Peter Pllllg!" I exclaimed.
"There .lint no such animal! How •
old is Peter?"
"Peter's eleven," Mrs. Bert re
plied. "He's real nir<* and bright.
Hlh mother's brought him up
fine."
"What am I to pay the author
of Peter and the pie«?" I asked.
"Well, seeln's how you keep
Peter, as It were, Mrs. Pillig's
goln' to come to you for $20 a
month. She's wuth it, too. You'll
have the beet kept and cleanest
house In Bentford."
I rose from the table solemnly.
"Mrs. Temple," said I, "I accept
Mrs. Plllis. Peter, and the pies at
these terms, but only on one con
dition: She Is never to clean my
study!"
"Why?" asked Mrs. Temple.
"Because," said 1, "you can
never tell where an orderly wom
an will put things."
Rert chuckled as he filled his
pipe. Mrs. Temple grinned her
self. I was about to make a tri
umphant exit, when these words
from Mrs. Temple's lips arrested
me:
"Bert," she said, "did you clean
the buggy today? You know you
gotter go ter the depot tomorrow
an' git that boarder."
"That what?" I cried.
"Oh, ain't I told you?" she said
innocently. "We're goin' ter liev
another boarder, a young lady.
From Noo York, too. Her health's
broke down, she says. I wouldn't
hey took her, only I thought may
be you wut kind o' lonesome here
with jest us."
"Mrs. Temple," said I, "your so
licitude quite overwhelms me.
Comfort me with petticoats! Good
Lord! I'll bet she has nerves!
When can Mrs. Pillig come to me,
woman?"
"Oh, your house ain't near
ready yet," Mrs. Bert said. "Why,
the painters ain't even begun."
I fled to my chamber, and
hauled forth a manuscript. A fe
male boarder! No doubt she'd
expect me to shave every day and
change my working clothes for
the noonday dinner.
The next morning I demanded
that Mrs. Temple put me up some
lunch.
For," aald I, "I'm going to
postpone meeting tMs broken
down female as long as possible."

At five o'clock that afternoon I
put up my tools, resolved to en-

I scrubbed my hands and face
at the kitchen sink, filled my pipe,
and strolled down through the
budding orchard toward the
brook.
Walking beside the brook, I
suddenly found the green spears
of an iris plant amid the glasses.
A few sii-|,s farther on, under the
maples, the ground was blue and
white with violets and anemones.
Then the brook entered the pines,
and I followed It into their cool
hush.
