HAMBY. Copyrighted, IWT, by 31. M. Ounaingham. A deep feeling of content and satis faction possessed David as bs looked serosa tbe bills aud valleys to tbs tootb. "Tea," he said within himself, "she will like this whan she comes." He bought the plateau on top of tbe bill, scarcely more than forty acraa In all, and hired men to clear l.t. lie took an ax and went wltb tbem Into the timber, for, although David was a dreamer, he could work with his hands ervm while the visions were up on blm. Before autumn came the grouud was cleared, and then fruit trees and ber ries were eet out. Tbe house wblcb David buUt was planned carefully that It might be a rest to the body aud a pleasure to tbe taste. A half dozen oaka bad been left growing In the yard, and a hedge of roses waa planted all tbs way arouud It. Walka were laid and flowers planted beside them. David had Sbrae money—not much, but enough. Still he choae to work every day among the trees or In tbe garden. Every evening he aat on tbe porch and dreamed and waited. When the orchard was bearing and tbe rough placaa bad been made smootb David's lodge on the bill was ths admiration of the community. Visitors wars brought to see It, and tourists, wUo sometimes came to the Osarks, went out of their way to aee tbe bill that blossomed as a garden. David atUI worked and dreamed and waited. Sometimes at evening aa be sat alone upon the porch and looked out over tbe allent places—tbe hills and the valleys—a seuaa of loueltnees came ovsr blm. Suppoae aba should never corns! Even the shadow of a doubt made blm grow sick at heart, put aho would— aurely she would. Somewhere was the girl of whom he dreamed, the one that loved tbe things be loved and thought the thoughts that came to blm. Some time ahe would grow tired and turn aalde to the bills. Tben ahe would find the fairest one of tbem all, and; when ahe climbed to its top tbe borne would be ready, and he would he there waiting. One day when the apple trees were ID bloom and the oaks wet's brown Da "I KNEW rot) WOULD COMS, I'EiIIKST.' 1 vld felt as be worked In the orchard strangely torn lwtween doubt* and hopes. A vision would couie of M cosy hearth, with the divani woman sitting where the light fell on face aud balr. Then It would fade, and he would see himself, old, lonely aud disillusioned by lime, the wreck of a foollah hope. It was after sundown when became to tbe house. As be entered the yard be aaw a girl sitting on the edge of tbo porch looktng across the hills to the south. Hbe did uot turn, aud as he stood stlfl watching her his pulse grew aUong and rhythmical until every nerve In blm sang. This waa the dreaui woman. "Do you like It?" he asked directly. She did uot start at ths aound of his voice, but looked up and smiled. "Tea; It la perfect." He aat down on the edge Of the porch near bor. "1 aui vlattlug my aunt," she explained, "and I wanted to climb this hill. When I got here It was so beautiful and restful I couldn't leave." For a few minutes,'they sat In si lence. The south wind came from over tbe valleys laden with ths lnceata of tbe wild plum and tbe wild grape. Tbey breathed the i-leun, sweet air In perfect content. She arose to 20. He weut with her to where tbe road turned down tbe hill. "You will come again?" he said. "Yes," she said. "I would like to." "I will show you tbe place." he prom ised. Two days later she came again. Tbey went through tbe orchard and garden and then to tbe edge of tbe bill where It falls away' almoat perpendicularly. Tbey aat on a flat rock and watched tbe sun go down. "Isn't It restful?" ahe sighed. "So quiet bat Tall of tb ought." Tbey talked of traea and vluea, tbe billa and tbe seaaona. of booka and people Wherever bU thoughts bad bMo, there here had gone alio, and whatever she bad felt or dreamed he had, too, understood. Often she turned ber wide open, frank eyea upon hlui in wonder at the keenness and power of bit thoughts, hla seemingly unbounded knowledge. "I wonder," she said musingly, "why you are not out In tbe world." "I am," be laughed, "unless you call Mils paradise." "But you are not ambitious V she tuestloued. "No. Why should I be?" "There ts so much to do la the world," she said, "and you have so oiucb ability." "I work every day." He smiled. ''But there Is so much to be done to help people, and they need It ao much." "Wbeuever I see a fellow that needa help I help him If I can," he replied cheerfully. "But think or tbe multltudea you can never see here," she argued. "Do you believe that everybody was made to quit bis work and go out and hunt for distress?" he asked. "No, of course not everybody." "if (here ever was one that was not, that oue am I. I was made for this," snd his gesture took In tbe hills and sky "I was insde to live and dream. I did uot make humaulty suffer, and God has never laid on me the Job or curing their diseases and distresses, except sucb as I meet in my dally work." "It Is a pleasant philosophy," she said, with a slow smile, "but I rear It la selflsh." She seemed to be troubled as thay went down the hill and ssld little. For two weeks be did not nee ber again. He waited, poised dizzily on the narrow ledge that runs between darkness snd light. If sho was really the dream woman, after a Utile struggle with tbe sense of duties thst, although uerer hers, bad been laid upon hor, she would see aa he saw and come to know that this was her life too. But If she were not the oue for whom he had so long wait ed she would go away ami ha-would never see ber again. It had been another day of doubts and fears. Perhaps she bad already gone. Possibly he was a crazy dream er, after all. The sun was down and the robins had begun their good night aong when he went to the house. As be came nesr bis step quickened and j bis beart beat fast. She waa on the porch, Juat as be bad seen bor that first time. As he hurried toward her abe arose, her soft hnlr blowing lightly about ber face, and, with a smile of timid con fession, held out ber handß to blm. , He took them both and held them tight. The lids- drooped and covered ber eyes, and the blood came up until it bloomed a beautiful confession In her cheeka. "I knew you would come, dearest As I dreamed of you It WHS always like this." "Yes," she said softly; "It was a! ways just like this." House Plant Shower*. Shower your plauts two or three times u week to wash tho dust off their leaves and preveut the ravages of the red spider.
