After Elizabeth and I were married we did not abandon our habit of mak- | ing country excursions on Saturday | afternoons. We always looked for- { ward to the day when wa should have i ‘ a country home of our own. set forth we took the trolley car into I the least urban part of the country, <nnd then struck out across the fields. i It is strange how long one can re- i |peat such journeys without ever re- lpeaung one's route. It must hme | been a year after we were married ; l that we found ourselves in a little un- | . known village, looking at an ivy-clad I | wall. Walls wreathed in ivy are plentiful enough, but not like this one. For ivy 1s usually planted at the side of a | house. But there was no house here, ! nor ever had been—only the wall, ris- ing from its foundation in the middle of a field. i “Looking at old Michael's Folly, eh?" asked a voice behind us. We started, Elizabeth and I, for we ' | had not seen the speaker approaching |us. He stood still, looking medita- | leel\ at us. He was a typical coun- try man, shrewd, somewhat uncouth, lendvnt]\ gossipy. “You didn't notice that brick cottage | as you come along the pike, did you?" ! ,he inquired. “That's old Michael's ' : place. Born there, he was, and I reck- | on he'll die there. Old, we call him, though he can't be more than forty- two or three. But he's Old Michael to us ever since Pansy Strother run | off with that worthless Luke Buffum. “You see, Michael and Pansy had known each other since they was kids together, and folks around here al- lowed that they'd get married some time.

We had almost forgotten the inci- dent by the next summer, We had been married two years then, and why our home We Yes, and we villages quaint old houses within an hour's ride of the metropolis. It was not easy to find the home of our dreams, and we were almost ¢om- ing to believe that it would never re- veal itself. when we came one day upon a village street which seemed somehow familiar to both of us. “Dear,” said Elizabeth, laying her hand upon my arm, “don’t you remems- ber now? That red brick cottage—" “0ld Michael's!” 1 exclaimed. Then we remembered everything, to see whether the old wall was still stand- ing. It was—but three other walls had been added to it, each with ivy plants at the base, and a shingled roof completed what was really a charming little house. Rose bushes, freshly set out, were beginning to bloom in the garden, and a man was at work in a potato patch near the gate. He turned as we drew near, and we recognized the man who had told us about old Michael. He did not recognize us, of course, but he was just as gossipy and ready for a chat as ever. He came toward us, dragging his hoe behind him. “Kind of hot today, ain't it?" said, across his dripping forehead “So the house is built at last,” I said in answer. “Did old Michael sell you the property?” He nodded and smiled. “Ah, so you was the couple as was here last year,” ho said. “I've often thought of you since then, hecause, you see, but a week later that she come back.” “What!"
