He gave a concurring motion of the head and was turning away from her, but Nan rose and, still with her hand on his arm, detained him. "We'll leave her here," she said. "That woman she's darling. We can make up to her afterward. But you mustn't appear in it again, except to tell Tenney, if you'd rather. Though I could do that. Now, let's go." He was ready.
He merely, his whole body, seemed thrown out of position, to recover instantly. Raven, watching him as he traversed the few steps between them, decided that he was uncontrollably nervous, frightened, too, perhaps, at what his apprehensive mind pictured: and that was good for him. What was Tenney, according to his look?
"He says Isr'el Tenney ain't so much of a man, when all's said an' done, an' don't seem as if he could stan' seein' him on his knees. But there!" Raven went on through the shed and up the road, to Nan's. She had seen him from the window and came down the path. "Knew I'd come, did you?" he grumbled. "Yes," said Nan. "We'd really better go."
Tenney started away in a dazed indecisiveness and Raven remembered his hurt and that he probably could not run. At the same instant Tenney's mind cleared. He was plunging down the slope and, whatever anguish it caused him, insensible to it. Raven unlocked the door, stepped in and found Tira facing him. "Go home," he said. "Get the boy and go down to my house. You're to stay there now."
Again he stretched out his hands. "Yes," said Raven. "He can forgive that." "An' I be," Tenney continued, in his scriptural phrasing, "whiter than snow?" Raven found himself halting. There were, behind this vision of the symbol by which God made Himself manifest to man, reserves of strict integrities. "Tenney," he said, "you've killed a child. Your child. You're a criminal.
So immediately after her breakfast she put on coat and hat and went "over to Tenney's," as the country folk would put it. This was a day brightly blue, with mounting warmth, the road a smoothness of packed snow. When she reached the house, Tenney was just driving up to the side door in the sleigh, and she rejoiced. It made her errand easier. He was going to town, and she could see the woman alone.
"You're to get the child and come to my house for the night." "Will he" and now he saw her mind was with Tenney "will he be arrested?" "I hope," Raven allowed himself the bitterness of saying, "I hope he'll get imprisonment for life." And there was such sternness in the kind voice that Tira turned and went, half running, up the path to the back road and home.

Scientific dietaries have been prepared with a view to teaching the poor to use nutritious and economical foods. Professor J. J.

She set down her lantern, laid the crutch on the block Tenney used to split kindlings, set her foot upon it and methodically sawed it into stove wood lengths. When it was done she gathered up the pieces, carried them into the sitting-room, to the stove where Tenney always, in winter weather, left a log to smoulder, dropped them in and opened the draught.
