CHAMPION LIAR j
By MARY LOUISE CORMIER |
iji/, 1022, by McClure Newupuper Syndlo&t*.
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.”
