The Cricket. Esther Kipp sat up in bed, pushing her gray hair back from her thin face. “It must be 1 o'clock,” she whis- pered to herself. ‘“And I haven't slept & wink.” The large corner room, with its two windows open to the night, was full of moonlight. Outside a peculiar still- ness reigned, broken as far as Esther was concerned by but one sound. It was that sound which was keep- ing her awake. She knew—a per- sistent little grating note that never ceased. There was a cricket in the grass under the window. “I wish crickets had never been made,” she thought. “I wish I could find that one.” She had looked for him with a flashlight, but he was too wary to be caught. Indeed, reason told her that there must be numbers of him. One cricket couldn't do all that business night after night and all night long. “Well, T may as well turn on my light and read a bit,” Esther sighed. She arose, pulled down the shades and snapped on her little green-shaded reading lamp. From the bookrack on Adjusting her spectacles carefully she opened the Look. It was “the Cricket on the Hearth"! The title mocked Esther and in anger she flung the innocent book across the room. It landed with a thud. Outside on the grass the cricket continued to chirp cheerfully. Esther slept a trifie, but morning found her haggard and tired. As she sat eating her toast and orange marmalade her cousin, Mrs. Landon, breezed in. Landon was stout élnf] TS} philosophical view- point. s ago she had married the man whom Esther had scorned. but she had nev: regrétted it, for Landon - had made good In a hat even Esther must confess. “Lewis and I are going to the city for the day, Esther,” Minnie Landon said. “Come on and go along.

After that they went to a matinee and Esther found lots to laugh at, although to- ward the last she began to suggest that they would be late home. “Just wait here on the corner a few minutes while I get my car out of the garage” Lewis said.
