Milt Is the champion liar of Merrt mac Mills. His superiority In this line has never been challenged. There are other prevaricators in the town, but ranged beside the urban, accomplished Milt, they appear as so many lisping schoolboys. With Milt, lying la an ait. If not actually a profession. As a boy Milt would not attend school If he could possibly lie his way out of It. Later, when he came to be employed In Htnckle's general store, his ability to evade the truth proved useful In u numlAr of different ways. For Instance, a crpte of cold storage eggs would be purchased. Milt would promptly advertise them as “strictly fresh” and levy his price accordingly, j He would sell them all. Milt had a sort of quick, crafty In- j telllgence. He realized that women trusted him and It was through them : that he must reach the men. When j John Hinckle dismissed him because j of a discrepancy In the cash register, | Milt swore that he would get even If | It took him the rest of his life and he strnlghtway began to lay his plans. On a certain May morning he strolled Into the general store. Mrs. Hinckle, a thin, dark woman with a Jealous temper, was behind the counter. “Morning,” said Milt, In his soft j drawl. “Where’s John?” He knew well enough that ninokle lmd left that morning for the wholesale house In Boston where he purchased supplies. “He’s gone to Boston,” the woman replied, curtly. "Did you wunt to see him about a Job? If you did, there’s ; nothing doing.” A gentle laugh rippled out of Mllt'B j supple throat. “A Job?" he repeated, with a depre catory smile. "No thanks. Doing ! chores pays me well enough. Some j weeks I make as high as $60." That j was a fallacy, of course. Milt seldom averaged more than $20 when he worked—and he did not work very often. "What (lid you want 10 Bee .ionn about, then?” persisted Mrs. Hlnckle. “Oh. It doesn’t matter,” Milt re sponded, evasively. "Come to think, I see him getting on the train this morn ing. That Blake woman was with him.” Mrs. lllnrkle stopped weighing a hag of brown sugar and her little black eyes sparkled dangerously. “ITow do you know she was—with him?” The question came aR a chal lenge and Milt answered It with an en joyment that wns typical of him. “Well,” he explained, carefully, "I heard her say to him when he wns helping her onto the train, ‘This Is the first trip we’ve hnd together In ten years, John.’ And she was laughing, sort of happy-like, when she said It.” "T don’t believe you," Mrs. Hlnckle Informed him coldly. Milt smiled and shrugged hlH shoulders. "1 didn't expect you would,” he mocked, ambling off. After that Merrimne Mills sneered at Milt’s “stories" and openly branded them for what they were. But Milt was one of those curious beings who thrive on opposition. Then' was a good deal of specula tion concerning Tillle, Milt's young and still pretty wife. People won dered why she had not left him long ago. "Tlllle's gone to spend the week with my folks In Baltimore,” he would elucidate, as he stood In the bunkroom of the firehouse on a Friday evening watching a poker game. "I kinder thought the change of air might do her good. She’ll have all the comforts of home, too. My folks—the Baltimore Joneses, you know—are pretty well off. Most likely, by now, Tillle is riding up from the station In their town car—” Through the blue haze of cigar smoke, the men would grin at each other over their cards as If they were In secret understanding. They were. All of them understood tacitly that Tillle wns, at that very moment, sit ting In her shoddy home across the river, mending Milt's socks. One raw night In winter Milt was awakened by Tlllle’s low moaning. He found her condition to be dangerous and hurriedly set out for Merrlmac Mills. Young Doctor Ocrret heard Milt’s frnntlc knocking and flung open his bedroom window. “What 1b It?" he called drowsily to the restless, dark figure on the snow covered steps. Milt explained. “Your wife Is in Baltimore," the doc tor answered coldly. "You told me so yourself this afternoon. And I don’t propose to be dragged out of bed on a night like this for the sake of a practical Joke!" The window slammed down. Milt stood there In the snow, quiver lug with nnger und despair. Desperate and hulf-crazed Milt bor rowed a sleigh and drove to South Merrlmac, some three miles away, where he secured a doctor. But when, after their mad race ugalnst time, thej( reached Milt’s shack, Tillle was past the need of medical science. It was many months before Merrl tnac Mills saw Milt ugaln. Once fond of company, ho now sought Isolation. It was even whispered ubout that Milt was going to reform. But Milt waa | too humun for that. Another year I found him buck In the firehouse and he was us glib and prevaricating of tongue as ever. Now and then he alts apart, this champion, and there comes Into his faded eyes un expression of baffled wistfulness. “I could tell the truth,” he mutters, half defensively, “but nobody will be lieve me now. Nobody will believe.” The Monitor Is YOUR Paper.
