By Kennedy Blna Vivid Sketch Ot a Girl Who Had Erred Returning . to Her Parents. . S A Vivid Sketch ot a Girl Who 5 4c 4s j IwWwIlwll!!!!!!!!-!-!! It was gloaming when Janet Goudle crept to the white gate leading to her father's farm. On the ridge between her and the west she saw the two long shafts of a tilted roller standing up dark, gaunt. The sight made her sud denly afraid. She thought of her fa ther. Was It he who had been work Ing with the roller who had left It there an hour since? She "paused with a beating heart. After a little she opened the gate and slipped quietly through, holding !t carefully in her band as she turned to fasten It. She remembered how It al ways swung to the post with a clap, and, though she was. far from the bouse, she shrank from making a noise. Then she turned up the hilly road. When she came out upon the bare uplands, they were flooded with un canny light. It dazzled Janet so that she could scarcely see the bouse lying straight before her. Her whole body felt how visible to the farm folk It must be. coming on Illumined in the yellow glare. She cowered so closely to the stunted hedge that the strag gling brambles tugged at her. A burst of terrible splendor came athwart the world, an awful dying gloom. Far and wide flamed the red and silent moors like altars lighted for the end of time. Janet crept on, feeling mean and little ln the great desolation. At last she stood within the long shadow that was cast toward her by the house. So dark and silent were the buildings that her heart stopped beating with a sudden dread. - But presently a familiar sound fell on her ear. and she oreatnea witn reuer u looking round. Over In the little croft the ducks were waddling home, lato ns usual, and clattering away to them selves. When tfce drake stood up and flapped his wings, the white round of his breast shone vividly. The farm road 4ed to the square close at the back of the dwelling house. The front was to the sunset. Janet stole to the corner of the barn and peered down through the shadows to the kitchen door. She was shaking with fear. Her father had threatened that if ever she came back he would hound the dog at her. She hoped it would not be a new dog. Baldy. she knew, would not bite her. The tall white wooned pump glimmered like a ghost In the gloom. She remembered every feature of the place as If It were yes terday she went away. Yet she felt she was looking at It athwart an eter nity. The double feeling of familiari ty and strangeness made her conscious of her physical abasement Every thing at home was the same. It was she who was different, different. A stall tied cow lowed loudly in the empty byre, and the mournful sound was echoed by the gaunt buildings. Janet shivered and drew her poor shawl about her shoulders. At last she ventured out, creeping down the close on her tiptoes tremblingly. When she reached the step of the back door, she stood and listened for a sound within. The bouse was silent as death. Twice she raised her hand to knock. and twice she let it fall in cowardice. Then self pity came over her with a burst in the throat, and ber lips whis pered In dull repetition: "Oh. It's a pity o me! It's a pity o' me! My God. ayel It's a gevan pity o' me!" She knocked faintly. There was no response. ' As she craned to listen she heard the old fashioned kitchen clock tick with a 'dreary loudness. She knocked again. The scrunt of a chair being pushed backward on the stone floor made the blood prick ber veins suddenly. A silence followed and then the shuffle of slippered feet coming slowly. Would it oe her fa ther? And would he curse her? Her tongue was dry In her mouth. A bolt clanked to the wall, the door creaked on Its hinges, and somebody peered out at ber. band over eyebrows, t "It's youT' said her mother at last. The woman stared at her daughter for awhile and then turned away with out a word. leaving the door open be hind her. Janet followed to the kitch en with a timorous foot that was ready to start backward. But her father was not in the kitchen. ! There was a strange stillness. The rich light came streaming through the bare 'window and fell full upon the dresser. The dishes shone weirdly against it. Thei? on Its old hook Janet's mug was still hanging, her name on it. With & sudden stab of memory she thought of the night her father had brought It home to her from the winter fair at garble, coming in from the wonderful darkness, with snowflakes on hisevoat. to his little girl by the great fire; how blithe hnu een his dark eye. how cheery and red the middle of his cheek. She could still feel his finger rough and cold beneath her chin and the benediction of his eyes looking down at her. But now ah, Christ! Mrs. Goudle had put away ln the window sill her great Bible and her heavy white rimmed spectacles a-top of it. Janet was still standing. 'Sit doun," said L ber mother care lessly. ! Janet sat down on the edge or a chair clqso to the door. Rab, the cat she had reared, was sitting near her in blank band of sunshine lying athwart the flags, his legs.propped in front of him like two furry little pil lars, his gray golden slits of eyes fixed n the window. Janet, feeling the con straint of the silence, put out her hand and, not daring to speak aloud, said 'Bab!' in a choking whisper. Bab turned and i looked at her carelessly through his half shut eyes. Then he rose and walked, with lazy stretchings of the hind, legs, away over to the hearth. There he sat down and stared ra at a blnewlsp of flame toUnklpgJn i u.e grate, x ue iAoiiotofl6iis CTck Ci de Clock joss the only sound Tn the wide kitchen. , . . j Mrs. Goudle' stcOtl wkU her band on the back cf a chair. At first her eyes gazed before -Lr with tl:c wide look of a proud anger, and . her mouth was hard. The glow fell upon her withered face and revealed its dark and stern nobility. Presently her eyes! narrowed anu went away, and she seemed to be musing. Then a , strange smile that was not pleasant to look at appeared about the corners of her mouth. But she did not speak. ' The light became more unearthly. I declare." said Mrs. Goudle sud denly, with a false shrillness of voice that made Janet wince; "I declare, it's like the day o judgment, t.iis." The smile never left her lips. . : Again was appalling silence. The clock seemed to be ticking E more and more loiTdly. As Janet listened to its slow metallic beat her heart sank low er In her breast., Where could her fa ther be? He was so seldom out of the kitchen at the gloaming. She turned her head to see what o'clock It was. The old yellow dial was shining with eerie vividness; - All this time her mother had given no sign either of pity or resentment But "Well," she said at last, always with that ironic edge on her voice; "well, we had better gang butt the boose, d'ye no think r Janet rose passively without Bpeak ing. Now that her ordeal had come she was too feeble t8 be sharply afraid, bne reit herself borne onward like a creature ln the clutch of fate. She was going to meet her father. A bare lobby with whitewashed walls ran from the front door between the kitch en and the parlor. A shaft of yellow light struck in through an oblong slit of glass above the door, falling straight upon a row of pegs. On one of these was the farmer's everyday hat, a square hard felt, green gilt at the sides with age. The level rays revealed a thick coating of dust on it. ; The mother opened the room door, which fell to the right, and then stop ped, speaking over her shoulder. "We've made changes here," she said shrilly, as if showing alterations to a stranger. She pointed to a bed, the curtained head of which was close to the door on the left. Janet had begun to tremble. She followed her mother Into the room. At first she could see nothing because of the invading glory. "There's your fether!" said Mrs. Goudle. Janet turned her eyes from the light, and there lay her father in his shroud beneath the full glow of sunset. The clock ticked loudly In the kitchen. A fringe of sandy whiskers stuck out from the tight Jaw bandage. There were vivid hairs in It, redly gleaming. Janet's knees were water below her. She sank by the bed. "Fether !" she panted, with open month and unstrung lips. "Fether!" and then with a shrill scream of an guish: "Oh, God; My fether! My fe tLer! My fether!" . "A-hey." said her mother, "that's what ye brocht your fether jtill!" On an April morning three and twenty years ago this woman bad felt a thou sand pulses leap and throb within ber when a feeble little cry told that from her body a living soul had come into the world ah, mystic wonder! a new born soul and from her body and the child of the man she loved. But that child had broken toe heart of the man she loved, and she was merciless. Suddenly a blatant low from the great empty byre echoed through the silence hollowly, and again there was silence. The somber radiance deepened In the room. The brass knobs at the head of the bed gleamed mournfully. "Speak to me, fether!" whispered Janet. "Speak to me. fether! Speak to me!" But he lay with closed : eyes in the lonely light, and it seemed to Janet that bis shut lips smiled smiled with the quiet irony of the dead, who know the secrets of all things and will tell us nothing.
