Where Highways Cross: Large Print

By: Fletcher, Joseph Smith

"Where Highways Cross" is a story soberly conceived, naturally told, and replete with pathos. It is "Hiring Fair" at Sicaster, the time when the men and maids seek service; and to the fair comes Elizabeth Verrell. She had hoped to find a place as a seamstress in Sicaster in a certain shop, but had been disappointed. She was penniless then, and must find work. That is why she takes her place in the hiring fair. Thorndyke Hepworth, a farmer and well-to-do man, wants a woman to take charge of his tablecloths and linen. ... She is a married woman, but does not know whether her husband is alive or dead. He had been accused of some crime-forgery-and had been put in prison. ... He was not innocent. He had committed forgery and had escaped. Hepworth is broken-hearted, for Elizabeth still declares her love for Walter. She is his wife. Then Hepworth gives the two a handsome sum of money and bids them godspeed. Maybe Elizabeth reclaimed her husband.
