FOUND EN
THE WOODS.
\ By GRANT PACKARD. I
\ Copyrijhted. i?8, by A??o dated A
r Literary Press. \
Overnight the street corner bad blos
somed out with unpalntcd pine chest
nut stands, topped by the roaster,
which sent out the fragrance of tho
mealy nuts.
A crisp tang In the air sent the end
loss procession of workers along at a
smarter pace. Only an occasional dere
lict sauntered along at a laggard's
gait. Overhead a thin here veiled the
sky, changing the blue of the cloud
loss ilrmament to a softer tint, and
through this a yellow sun burned
dully. *
Paul NVeatford as he hurried toward
the offlee sniffed the odor of the roast
ing chestnuts and smiled remlnlscent
ly. Of course ehestnuts roasted In a
pan over a charcoal fire could not be
as good us wheu they were gathered
lu the wood "and roasted In a Are
shovel.
It took two to roast chestnuts prop
erly, two In a cozy parlor, with an
open Are for the only Illustration.
He knew all about roasting chest
nuts. It was while they were roasting
chestnuts that Carol Kyder had prom
ised to be his wife. Ever since that
night1 the perfume of the chestnut
stands had reminded him of the girl
he had loved and lost.
The course of true love had run with
Its customry irregularity, so It befell
that during ouo of their misunderstand
ings Johu Ryder, Carol's father, had
falleu upon evil times. His invest
ments were threatened for lack of
ready money. Another man had come
to Ityder's aid and had claimed Caml
as his reward.
The girl had married him in the mis
taken belief that she owed It to her
father to obey his wishes, and when
Paul sought reconciliation he had
found that It was too late.
He had come to the city that he
might not be reudnded dally of his
loss and hud prospered greatly. He
had found engrossment if not forget
fulness in business.
yet always the smell of roasting
chestnuts brought back to him that
night lu the Ryder parlor, and be could
feel again that thrill of Joy when he
heard the whispered "Yes."
Today It came back to him more
strongly than ever, and on the pages
of the letters he opened he could see
the picture of the woods about Carrls
vllle, rioting with color under the au
tumn sun.
He hud never gone back to the town
since his tirst departure. He had never
wanted to see the place. But today he
heard the country call him, and the
cull was not to be denied. He arrang
ed with his chief clerk to look after
affairs for a few days, and that night
he left on the sleeper for CarrlavUle.
He found the town was sadly
changed. Paul arrived In the early
hours, when few were stirring, and as
a sleepy hackuian drove a sleepier
horse through the silent street Paul
felt a lump rise In bis throat aa when
one greets an old friend and finds him
that friend no longer, but even more
foreign than au actual stranger.
The old bricks schoolhouse had grown
Into a stone structure several stories
In height. There wa9 a new Methodist
church, and many of the old bouses
had been replaced by mote Imposing
structures, while In the business sec
tion the store fronts bad been altered
to present a metropolitan aspect.
It was uot uutll after lunch and Paul
vliail started out Into the country thai
he began to feel at home. He had
looked up none of his old friends, fear
ing to find them as Radly changed as
the village itself.
There was a trolley now to take him
to the outskirts of the town, but he
dropped off when the canal bridge
came In sight aud the trolley turned
on the road to the river. The bridge
was not changed.
It was the same low, white structure
from which he had dropped many a
time to the deck of some passing canal
boat to ride down to the lock and beg
a ride back.
Beyond the bridge, too, the road
looked the same. The trend of prog
ress had been along the line of the
trolley, and on this 9lde of the canal
the farmhouses were unchanged.
They had not eveu mended the break
In the fence where he formerly slipped
through for the short cut to the' marsh.
Here the largest frogs were always to
be caught, and Paul was tempted to
push through Just to see If he still was
slender enough.
It was a sharp climb up the hill, and
Paul was glad to pause and rest for a
moment when he gained the crest. Be
low, the canal wound Its way between
grassy banks, the towpath, dotted "with
tolling mules, showing white against
the green.
Farther .vet the river flowed placidly
on to the churning foam of the rapids
below, and between lay the level acres
now yellow with stubble. In the val
ley, tho autumn tints were not yet pro
uounced, but at his back, on the
heights, the woods were glorious with
red and gold.
Paul started out at a brisk pace for
the chestnut grove where the nuts
were always biggest and best. On the
Saturday hollduy the woods would be
dotted with the nutplckers, but today
be had the place to himself. He was
on familiar ground now, and he head
ed straight for the grove.
There were few huts on the ground,
but Paul was not content with thaw,
and, slipping off bis coat aud vest, he
swung up into the biggest tree to
ahake some down.
He felt oo odd senM of station u ha .
found that he could climb as well as
ever, In spite of city life and elevators,
and he determined to climb to the very
top of the tree. It was from this same
tree that he had had many a fall In his
knlckerbocker days, and he wanted to
show his mastery of his old enemy.
The pride that goeth before a fall
was his, and the Inevitable tumble
came. He wasnearly back to the bot
tom limb when, with 'an ominous
crackle, one of the yellow branches by
which he was steadying himself gave
way, he lost his balance and fell heav
ily to the ground.
For a moment he lay, half stunned,
then a burning pain In his nnkle rous
ed him. Dragging himself to a sitting
posture, he cut the laces of the boot
and with his handkerchief bound the
sprained ankle as tightly as he could.
Then, by slow degrees, he made his
way to his coat and slipped It on to
prevent a cold.
Holding to the trunk of the tree Ue
sought to rise, but he sank to the
ground again and rested for a moment
until the sharp pain ceased.
There was no stick In sight that
could be used as a cane, and without
such an aid there was small chance of
being able to make his way to the edge
of the wood, where he might be able
to attract the attention of some pedes
trian, on the road below. Yet he
would craw! on his hands and knees
rather than pass the night in the open.
He was still considering Jhe situa
tion when he spied a flash of brown
and scarlet between the trees, and a
girl came slowly toward him. As she
came more clearly Into view Paul
gasped and rubbed his eyes.
Coming toward him was Carol Ry
der, not ns be expected to find her with
the weight of added years, but as
young and girlish as on that day
when they two had gathered chestnuts
and taken them home to ron3t.
It seemed that It must be some vi
sion, for he had seen a late picture of
Carol, aud the glrllshness had given
place to a matrouly dignity that sat
oddly on her young face. This was
the- girl of the olden day? his Carol?
and as she approached he struggled to
rise and fell. She came hurrying to-'
ward him.
"You have hurt your aukle," she
asked lu a voice that surely 'must be
Carol's. "I will try and find a stick for
you to use as a cane. Don't try to rise
until 1 bring you oue."
SheSiurrled away and presently re
appeared with a stout branch.
"You will have to trim it down a lit
tle with, your kulfe," she explained.
"It was the best I could find. Is It
Paul Westford?" she added as, for the
first time, she studied his face.
"It's Paul Westford," he assented,
"but you cannot be Carol?*'
"I'm her sister Edith," she explain
ed with a light laugh. "I was just at
the awkward age when you left, and,
anyhow, you never had eyes for any
one but Carol."
"You look very like her," he said
quietly as he rose by aid of the cane.
"So every one tells me," was the
girl's careless comment. "You had bet
ter take my arm too. It will be safer.
Do you think you can manage It?"
"Easily," he agreed as he accepted
her suggestion and rested his free
hand lightly upon her urm.
Slowly they made their way to the
clearing, and not until they left the
woods behind did Edith atop with a
little cry of dismay.
"You never got the nuts," she cried,
"and you came all the way from town
to get them!"
"I came In search of old memories,"
said Paul softly as he looked down
into the eager face upturned to his. "I
thought they were dead memories, and
I And that they still live."
The color flooded the Vlrl's face as
she turned It aside, but not till eyes
had spoken to eyes, and Paul knew
that be had found his mate.
