LELAND, Prop. •: H4444>4tt">444444444444444 ‘ 2 ! jj i 4 < * L--< It was Saturday afternoon anil Mol ly's half holiday, hut since Dad haii gone to war, ami the maid had found work in a factory, Molly’s half holi day was spent in helping her mother with the housework uud curing for the babies. “If I were only as pretty as Gloria Snow,” sighed Molly, "1 wouldn’t mind washing these old dishes. It wouldn’t be nearly as bad. If 1 knew the steam was making my hair curl into little ringlets around my forehead, and that my long black lashes were covering eyes of heavenly biae. I believe I could bear all tilings with equanimity If 1 knew I was a howling, raving beauty but who ever could care for u stub nose, brown eyes and straggly hair after they had seen Gloria's classic features?" For a few moments Molly rattled the dishes in a very rebellious spirit, but soon she heard her mother singing to the baby in a low sweet voice: “Father will come to his babe In tte nest, Silvery sails all out of the west.” And into Molly’s really lovely brown eyes there came a protecting look, us she carefully put the dried dishes away. “What a selfish girl Molly Endleott you are,” she said to herself. “You are not only selfish, you are a slacker, for, didn't you promise your soldier daddy that you would do everything you could for the little mother to keep her well and cheerful? And here you are complaining In less than a month’s time just because you overheard Dr. Grover tell Gloria Snow how much he admired beauty, and that he always gave especial attention to anyone's hands. Now you know you never were a beauty, and your hands were always large, and if they are reddened by dish water it’s all in a good cause. Now Gloria Snow you are welcome to Dr. Grover. I don’t care for a young man who stays at home In war time, and you haven't the daddy I have to be proud of, ami such a brave little mother to love, and-” “Hello, Miss Molly. I caught you right at it,” said Dr. Grover, close beside the self-disciplined girl. “Good afternoon. Dr. Grover." coolly replied Molly, very conscious of her wet slippery hands, and a lock of black hair hanging straight across her nose. “I should think you might at least ring the bell and not frighten anyone so,” she continued angrily. "Why—I beg your pardon. I really didn’t think you would mind my en tering especially when Robert fold me not to ring as mother was getting the baby to sleep, and 1 wanted very badly to take you to** a ride. It's such a lovely afternoon. Don't you think you can come. Molly?” asked the young doctor. “No, I don’t believe I can.” was the ungracious answer. “You had better go and ask Gloria Snow. I’ve'lots of work to do yet." “But I don’t want Gloria Snow. I want you, you.” persisted Dr. Grover. “Just let me help you with the work. Molly. I really can work. I can sweep, anti do lots of things, and then you will go with me. It didn't take Molly long to bnthe and change her clothes, and soon she was seuted in Dr. Grover's ear, and they were riding ovji the country _ I ponds bordered with the sunny golden i rod nnd sweet wild nster. Dr. Grover drove the car slowly, as he enjoyed watching the various ex pressions flit over Molly's face at each exquisite tdt of scenery. For a while neither attempted to talk, both were too happy. Finally Dr. Grover hrnke the silence. ••Miss Molly, just why were you so cross when I came tills afternoon?” For a minute Molly hesitated, then laughing she said. “Because I was indulging In n little self-pity out of sheer enviousness.” "You envious. Molly? Of what and ! whom?" “I don't just like to tell all ray faults,” said blushing Molly ns she realized just wliat had tnnde her en vlous, “tmt confession Is good for the soul, so T wdll confess. I was envy ing Gloria Snow. She i's so pretty anti has everything she can evci want, anil x—well the had feeling is all gone now.” Dr. Grover did not reply; Instead he drove his ear to one side of the road under the shade of a lurge maple tree, and stopped It. Then taking Molly s hands In his he said. "Molly, Gloria Snow Is pretty, hut don't you know you are beautiful?” "Please don’t laugh at me," nlmost whispered Molly, “that's too unkind." “I Laugh at you? Why Molly, don’t you know how much I love you? I’ve wanted to tell you before but you have always seemed so Indifferent. You do care for me just a little. Say you do. Molly." pleaded the doctor. “But Gloria, "-tic is so much pret tier." reiterated Molly. "What has Gloria to do with you and me?" "But my hands are large and some times red," murmured Molly. "Strong, capable ha nils, able anti willing to do the tasks before them. I and I love them. Molly," said Dr. Grover, kissing each In turn, "anti now dear if you are satisfied that 1 really want you, just as you are. won't you please answer my question?” Molly must have been satisfied, for when Dr, Grover hade lu-r good-night he whispered “1 am going m-xt week dear, anti you will then have a soldier sweetheart as well as a soldier daddy.” (Copyright '.919. by the McClure .News paper Syndicate.)
