MARTYN lit) by MsCluie Newspaper Syndicate.) ltosemary ' flushed and stammered over the contents of the parcel which had come by mail ; the stout little box and tissue paper wrappings had en folded a shining new, nickeled key. Lest anyone should ask silly questions about It, she dropped the key Into her pocket and the papers on a blazing i ,Uck ln the kl'hcn range. And she was angry all over again with Ben Baker. "What an old stick-in-the-mud," she scorned. "I suppose he's up to some stunt with this key and thinks he's being funny ! Well, what be gets Is a freeze tight." Illness and a lean pure had driven Bosemary to vacation at her uncle's farm on the Itockdale road. At the end of a previous summering there she had vowed never again to set foot ln the remote vicinity of Ben Baker, whose folks owned a farm out Bald Pate motintnlnway, and with whom she had found cause for quarrel after a true-sweet hearting season. Now time and physical weakness and hunger for the real outdoors liadl modified Itoseinar.r's former decision to deny herself the hospitality of her uncle's home. By cross cuts it was fully two miles from here to the Bnket place and more than twice that distance over the tortuous, sidehlll roads. - As her strength returned Rosemary roamed farther and further from the farmhouse. When the chance Item In a local paper Informed her that Ben Baker was away on business, she de ternilned to venture a day jn the woods beyond the pasture. As Rosemary went along the wood palh that sunny morning she found the woods amazingly transformed. The, trees around the farmhouse had been so well trimmed that she had not cor rectly estimated what damage the sleet and Ice storm of the previous winter had wrought. Even here ln the woods verdure covered Its raw naked ness, nnd the fresh sap color of the broken limbs hud weathered. . But every tree gave its own mute signal of devastation. Rosemary roamed on and on, marvelling at the ruins. She remembered what Ben used to tell her about the winter storms and knew I hat a giant among them rnust have been this way. He quoted Hiawatha : And whenever through the forest Raged and roared the wintry tempest And the branches, tossed and troubled. Creaked and groaned .and spilt asunder, "Kwaslnd!" cried they, "that Is Kwaslndl He is gathering in his firewood!" And for a fancy she had remem bered her "Hiawatha" nnd called him "Kwaslnd." "For his strength allied to goodness." Curiosity drew Hoseinary on toward the oak knoll where they had often kept tryst together. And when the path opened ahead she stopped In amazement. The units had been sawpfl off, chopplng-block K-ifi ; only one had been trimmed nnd left to cost its shade on the red roof of a boarded cabin. -The foundation was of native stones ami a trail of stepping stones wound from her feet to the beautl fully grained oak door. It was the material ization of what Ben and ' she had Imagined for themselves right here. For the first time some special sig nificance of the key ln her pocket dawned upon Rosemary. Did It, fit this door? She skipped along the step ping stones and turned It In the. lock. A stnunch work bench occupied one end of the Interior, and a half-finished piece of furniture stood beside It. The other end had a wide stone hearth, flanked by settles of the same beauti fully grained plank that had fashioned the door. Wrought Iron dogs, plied with kindling, stood below the yawn ing mouth of the chimney. . And because. In the midst of her spirit of mischief, Rosemary felt a sweet possession of the' place, She touched a lighted match to the kindling, and watched It burn. And the corner of fhe settle where she curled herself was so comfortable that she hadn't moved when ashes be gan to gray over the .smoldering em bers. A quick step on the threshold startled her to her feet. T saw the smoke, Rosemary, and 'twas to me the sign that you'd comet You can't guess how I've watched for smoke from that chimney. Sure and certain, I built the cabin for you and me! Sure and certain, I'm an old stick-ln-tbe-mud that doesn't want any girl but you r said Ben Baker. v Rosemary gripped the settle back. How splendid he was! And fall of purpose! He mast never know how silly she had been! . "I was Just thinking this place was . ready for the touches of a woman'! hand," she admitted.
