MARYCHMESHiRMIM
By LOUISE OLIVER.
As the train pulled Into Meridian.
.Tack Painter's thoughts were also fin
ishing a long Journey of retrospection,
a period covering five years, the exact
time he had been awny from home.
The thoughts had much to do with a
girl, a girl whose picture fitted In the
back of tils new live-hundred dollar
watch. When lie had left Meridian the
photograph had adorned the case of a
one-dollar watch. Thus had Jack's
fortunes changed nnil lie was wonder
ing whether or not the change was a
Kod one for him, and he was doubtful
about the wisdom of telling of his luck.
To be plain, Mary had said she loved
him but had refused to marry him un
til he made somo money.
"vh. Jack, I do love you and I'm
willing to many you but not now,"
she had said.
"Why?" he Insisted.
"Been use you can't keep me very
well."
"I'd like to know If 1 can't I've a
bully good place In Reedem's office,
and when he dies all the law business
will coiue to me."
"That's a long time ahead. And,
anyhow, old Mr. Reedem never made
much. Why, his wife has done all her
own work always. And, look at her
whut a plain little mouse of a woman
she Is with all the spunk that wus In
her knocked out."
"You don't love met"
"I do. I love you so well I don't
want to learn to hate you because I'm
played out, and I don't want you to
begin to despise me because I've lost
my looks and spirit."
He thought It over, then took his
savings out of the bank, said good-by
to Mary and left town.
The train slowed down and stopped.
"By Jove. I'll do It V'" JackTuul
thought over o llun of finding out a
few thlugs for himself.
He took a bus to the Commercial
hotel, the poorest and cheapest of the
three hostelrles In the town, and
hrcuthed with relief when he found the
lobby empty save for old mau Steb
blus himself.
"Hello, there! Bless my heart If It
ain't Jack Painter. And look how he's
all lit up. Heard you struck It rich,
Jack I"
"Sh !" Jack put a hand to his lips.
"Give me a vrofln, Stebblns, will you,
and come up; I want to have a talk."
And after u while the old man came
down and telephoned for Steve Lovnll.
Steve cnnie around, went up to Jack's
room and before long came down with
a big fat check in Ills pocket.
That day Mary Fielding was rend
ing in the lawn swing when Polly
Marshall drove up the walk and run
In excitedly.
"Oh. Mary, hove you heurd the
news? Jack Painter's home and he's
working In old Mr. Kedeem's office
again. It's all a mistake about his get
ting uloiig so well mid I guesa he's
glad to get back. Mercy I What's
wrong, Maze? You look like a ghost
There wasn't unythlng serious, was
there, between you and Jack?"
"No oli, no! I'm not feeling' very
well, that's all, Polly."
"And that's not all tho news?" de
clared the gossip with Importance and
meaningly. "Maybe you'll be more
interested in this, slm-e you've been
seeing so much of Steve. Some lady
died tmd left him heaps of money."
Polly left, but Mary sat silent and
thought ful.
She waited two days, but he neither
came nor called up. The third morn
ing she walked past the dingy old law
office; and us luck had it, Jack was
Just leaving for lunch.
"Hello, Mnry! Gee, I'm glad to see
you !" he held out bis hand.
"You seem to be. Have you forgot
ten where I live?"
"No. but well, you see I didn't think
I'd be welcome."
"You used to be, didn't you?"
"Yes, but I didn't know bow things
were. Besides I I've come buck poor,
Mary."
"Oh. well," pretending not to get his
meaning, "you're Just In style In this
town. Come anyway."
He I. Miked down at his shabby
clothes. "All right. But maybe I'll
run Into Steve."
"No, you'll not run Into Steve."
"But he Inherited a fortune?"
"I don't care. I told him not to
come any more."
They had walked unconsciously to
the end of the street and were on the
road to the liver.
Mary stopped under a scarlet oak
tree. "Let's sit here a minute. Jack,
I'm tired. Tell me something. Are
you very, very poor, Jack?"
"Yes. Muryl"
"And are you do you care for any
one?" "Just the person I told five years
go."
She looked away.
"Maybe If you were married, you'd
get along better, If you had a wife will
ing to work I"
"Mary, what do you mean? Look
at me!"
"I mean that I'm sorry I've been
foolish and wasted Ave year of our
Uvea."
"You love me enough to marry me
now as I ami"
"Yea, Jack dear. I've nearly died
of loneliness I"
"Thank heaven I" he cried at ha
gathered her Into hla arms. "Mary,
I'm not poor, I've made good and
we've all the world to enjoy. I'm the
Mpplest man alive !"
