Tt seemed possessed to run first on one ide of the road and then the other. It took every ounce of strength she had to keep the thing out of the gutters. Her arms ached, her heart pounded, but she bit her lips and kept the thing going somehow. After an hour's struggle and many amused glances from her neighbors, who were all hur- rying toward the station with their own produce, Clarabel finally guided started the truck that it made such a vacket. In fact, this was the first time she ever had been in the truck. But with mouth set in a little, firm line, she manipulated the gears and brake anl slowly the big truck began to back out of the shed. She guided it into the road, turned, and finally got it headed for the station. What an infernal machine it wi or so she thought.

So far he had been successful, and Clarabel had been comfortable. and in spite of her loss, happy in the protection of this big, good-natured boy of hers. But when she saw those tears wrung from her boy's eyes, as much from disappointment as the pain in his poor, swollen throat, all her moth- erhood was aroused, and she felt herself fit to overcome any difficulty that might arise. Saying nothing to Ezra, she went back to the kitchen and soon came back with a plate of cream toast and a cold drink. Poor Ezra tried to eat a bite, but found he could not swallow. “I don't know what we can do, mother,” wailed Ezra. “I am sure every man in the neighborhood will be busy today getting his own load to the station. We'll just have to let £0/and gct what we can out of the gaulifiower next week.
