Fre THE EVENING STORY Jared the Hard. | ARED MEADOWS towered beside his <), wife's bed, scorn writ large in his attitude and on his handsome, rudcy face. His eyes of that bright, unclouded blue that denotes a nature not given to softness, to sentimental concern for the woes of this world, dwelt briefly on his ‘wife's recumbent figure and then turned in distasie away. Phyllis Meadows, her small, delicate face turned toward the window, lay and regarded with unseeing eyes the country without. Her lips trembled, and a flush crept up and burned into momentary Tose her thin, pale cheek Calmly, resonantly, Jared voiced his sentiments. | “Doctors are grafters. Keep people in bed and_coddle ‘'em up to get their money. You've got to use your will power; make up your mind you're all right and you'll be all right. No, I don't hold with doctors. Why, I never had a doctor pawin’ over me in all my life!” Phyllis made no comment; continued to stare inertly out upon the landscape Jared expected iwr, the first day as some from the hospital after an emergency appendicitis operation, to plunge into housekeeping, to get his meals, wash the dishes, churn, bake, feed the chicken: yes, and probably hoe the turnips. reflected bitterly. And you couldn't make big, strong Jared understand. You couldn’t. Healthy, strong, candid, “sensi- ble,” he was simply unable to compre- hend frailty. And she didn’t want him to! His strength she adored. His intol- erance of weakness seemed to her god- like. Attentively she listened as he went on “I sure never thought you would ever be the kind of woman to lie around and | compel a busy man to wait on you.” “I'll—I'l try to get up and get some- thing for your dinner.” she murmured and winked her eyelids to dispel the black dots from before her frightened o she couldn’t. She couldn't a nurse had taken care of her. Today she had to take care of Jared. And they had told her it would be two months before she would be strong enough to take up her work at the point where she had laid it down But she turned and smiled up at her blue-eyed Jared “That’s my girl,” Jared rewarded and she felt his lips upon her cheek, his hand firm upon her shoulder. “I've got a bushel of things to do today Can't work on an empt know. I told Tina Burwell she'd not need to hang around here any more. T told her you were no slacker. I paid her off and said she could skedaddle. I tell you the doctors do just like I said, coddle you up. keep you in bed. Why, how'd they make a living if folks wouldn't stay sick a while for ‘em? You're all right, Phyllis. You're all right. Utter nonsense this business of bein’ sick is. Well, I'll be getting to work. Good to have you home, old girl. Jehosophat! I missed you some- thing awful!” Again Phyllis thrilled at the touch of his lips. “Oh, I will try to do as he wants me to. He is so dear—big, old, strong Jared,” she whisper:d as she felt the little farmhouse slake at his march through it The hours sped by. She dozed a few minutes now and again, but always was the dread upon her of the mo- | ment, 11 o'clock, when she must get up and begin preparation for Jared's dinner. And he could not do with just | a2 lunch. Dear me. Fancy Jared Meadows coming in to cereal and milk | and fruit and store cookies! Oh, he | would despise her, never have any love for her again if she failed him. Ah, but hadn't the hospital been a heavenly place. All day she could lie still, all day and all day, resting, getting well, | eating, drinking, thinking, dreaming, building up strength. At the hospital | everybody had smiled at her, nurses had | brought her things, brushed her halr,‘ the doctors had been sympathetically interesting, kind, understanding. And | she had been homesick. How could | she have been, she asked, longing for | the peace of the place. Well, she had been homesick for Jared, for this hale blue-eyed young giant who was her | husband. Never once had she failed to cry when the sisters sang vespers and she knew night was coming down | and she was alone in the big white- peopled place, far, far from Jared. In her mind now as she lay she dwelt upon | his strength. Perhaps if she thought | of his healith and vigor it would help her to gain them for herself. She must have some will power as he sug- gested. “If you think you're all right | Most People Prefer FLIT—Because: 1. 2. Tt kills quicker. It is guaranteed to kill household insects, or money back. ea 3. It repels insects out- doors. you are all right” he had said. Per- haps that was perfectly true. Perhaps she was only thinking she was unable to work. “Doctors are utter nonsense,” he had said. The kitchen clock struck 11. She lifted her head from the pillow. Utter nausea overcame hei. She let it flop down again, forced it up again. Pant- ing, she summoned her will to aid her. Her feet sought weakly the floor. Ah. she was standing. She held to a chair put her hands out, clutched the dresser, the sides of the doorway. At last she reached the dining room. 1If she kept hold of something all the way she might get to the kitchen. But no, she couldn’t, without stopping a second to rest thcre on the chair by the window. She sank weakly down, closad her eyes, conscious of nothing for a moment save of relief that she need not move her feet, main- tain an upright position. =Perhaps, even, she slept. What was that noise? Some one calling? Some one pounding none too vigorously on the porch. Who could it be? It sounded a little like Jared and yet it did not. She turnied in the cha. looked out of the window at its bac Was that Jared? Was it? Oh, surely not! And yet—- She got up, opened the door, holding to the knob, and looked incredulously out. “Oh, Jared, dear!” she cried, finally. and bent her gaze on the creature, half- sitting, half-lying, on the small porch. For a second she thought she must be delirious. That thing, _disheveled smeared with mud from which straw obtruded, its clothes nearly torn to | shreds, supinely c linging to the porch, down at him from the doorway anguish darkened his eyes. contorted his dirt- begrimed face, twisted his pallid lips, caused his jaw, his chin to quiver.

She did not think herself all right and then become all right. She simply for- got herself, forget appendicitis opera- tions, weakness. She flew to the tele- phone. She summoned a doctor, two doctors. She cajed Jared's mother from town. She turned down Jared's bed. put water on to heat. All this for Jared, her hard, glorious Jared. like & Woman demon possessed, she did. In half an_hour the two doctors had nd tall Mrs. Meadows with her r blue eyes, like her son’s eyes esterday.

In another half-hour Jared Meadows in splints and multi- tudinous white bandages lay inert and colorless. In another half-hour the blue of Jared Meadows' eyes was visible to his wife as she leaned over him, flushed and intent. His lips opened and she heard “I fell awful—awful—" “You're all right, Meadows,” posed one of the doctors, cheerfully “You'll be fit as a fiddle again in six weeks.” “No—no.
