TIIE CARDINAL Father Relents P00553 W fjgig IM MCFERSON stopped at the branch as he came i11 from the lield where KD Q he had been plowing hard all day. He watered his horses. just as he L X started to open the gate to go into the barn lot, Joe Robinson, a 'friend who 3' '31 A lived near, drove up in his car. ' oCfS Hello, jim. 'Been working pretty late, haven't you? he called, as he came to a stop. Yes, I have pnt in a full ,day to-clay. Father's going to put in a large wheat crop-this fall. He thinks there is bound to be a mend in prices after this big slump. Then besides he is sowing a lot of erimsonlclover. He always turns crimson clover under, in the spring, on the land he intends to plant in corn. 'LYou will be at that party over at Burton's this evening, won't you? I don't know, Joeg 'l' am tired and have iseveral chores to do yet, I doubt whether I shall feel like going. i ' t'That's too bad. You work too hard. You are going with me to the university next week, aren't you? NVQ would have line times together. You know father is opposed on principle to my studying agriculture at school. Any- way, he says I have got to stay here and work till l'm twenty-one: and when he has set his head tl1ere's no way of changing it. NVell, Joe started his car, I hope you can make some arrangements to go. So long. Good-bye. . The car rolled oft down'the road, and ,lim took his horses into the barn. john Mclferson, 1im's father, was one of the wealthiest 'farmers in Bradford County. He was as a child one of a large but poor family. By hard work, stingiuess. and native Scotch shrewdncss in business. he had succeeded better, Iinancially, than any of his neighbors. He had done without all comforts and luxuries, and had spent only what he was forced to spend for living expenses. The money he saved in this manner he invested in land. As soon as one piece was paid for, he added another to his farm, ln this way he had built up a farm of hundreds of acres of highly improved land. Recognizing its money-making value, he had built a line barn for his stock: but his house was small and shabby and cheaply furnished. lkfhen that night at supper Jim breached the subject of going to the university, his father Hatly refused. His mother undertook to rcmoustrate. Then his 'father exploded with wrath. Don't mention that infernal subject again! ,l' have said that Jim is not going, and that is the end of it. jim went to bed tired in body, but angry in spirit. l-le stayed awake a long time, think- ing. l-le knew that his father was unwilling to let him go to college, mainly on account of stinginess. lrle wanted Iim's work on the farm, and did not want to spend any money for college expenses. ,lim finally decided to leave home. He would go to town, get work. and when he had saved two or three hundred dollars he would work his way through college with the help of that. 43
