The older woman did not speak; but her long thin fingers clutched "the thorny stalk of the lateâ€"bloom ing rose that had nodded over the fence since her mother came to the house a bride, forty years ago. ham‘s Ve. PAINS ACROSS THE BACK Her niece, Judith Fenton, shook out the embroidered flounces of het shellâ€"pink muslia frock as she walked empbatically down the red brick path to the front gate. Every line of her slender back spelled diéâ€" approval. Judith Fenton, who was only twentyâ€"three, had been married a year. She was ten years younger than her Aunt Arianna. Since her marriage, however, she had develâ€" oped & matronly attitude toward her relative that was a peculiar irritaâ€" tion to the older woman, who had assisted in the bringing up of Judâ€" ith since the death of the girl‘s mother years before. As she swung the creaking, whiteâ€" picketed gate behind her and latchâ€" ed it, Judith hesifated. She crooked & beckoning finger toward her aunt, still standing on the roundâ€"pillared porch beneath the almost leafiess wistaria vine. Cautiously Arianna peered through the window of her mother‘s room that opened on the‘ porch, and then scurried down the‘ walk, She kept carefully in the middle of the path to prevent her} crisp brown and white gingham skirt from catching the dew from the feathery Dusty Miller plants that bordered the bricks. % "Aunt Arianna, I got somethin‘ to tell you," confided Judith, twisting the ends of her pink sash between Nervous fingers. She bent her heal Tow until the flapping brim of her fine yellow straw. hat brushed her aunt‘s faces "‘They do say now that Luke Emery isn‘t goin‘ to wait forever. He‘s home from his cruise two weeks nowâ€"an‘ he ain‘t bin out to see you yet, now has he, Aunt Ari anna?" "You‘re hurting your hand, Aunt Arianna!" remonstrated the girl. "That‘s why," she continued with anxious irrelevance, "I wish you‘d get ol‘ Granther File and his wife to come live with your ma. They‘d be real good to her, an‘ be glad of ‘the home. Thenâ€"you need‘nt put off Luke any longer. They do say that he‘s takin‘ a Port ginl, most young enough to be his daughter, aroundto places. Folks are aâ€"sayin‘ things, Aunt Arianna!" Arianna snipped: the last yellow rose and tucked it in the front of her niece‘s dress. "There, ‘dear, run along," she advised. "I‘ll just stont it out." As Arianna returned to the porch a â€" vigorous thumping. resounded from her mother‘s room. Brushing the dead leaves of the rosebush from her dress, Arianna pushed open the blind that shielded the long window in summer, and enâ€" tered the front room.

She remembered standing in this very room, an awkâ€" ward, overâ€"tall schoolgirl of thir teen. It was the morning of her graduation from the village school.

Elliott was the nephew of Abmer Denman on the next farm. He had never been back to Dean Center since he left for college the day after school closed. But the fragrance of his flowers still lingered; for Arianna kad cherished the creamy petals in a tiny rose jar which, though an nually renewed, still retained someâ€" thing of the pungent savor of its first filling. f Arianna realized that she was thinking back the twenty years beâ€" cause of the odor from this rose })ar open on the table beside her.
