MACDONALD 'TllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlin lCotri(ht, Wit. br McClura Nwpapl Syndicate.) If Richard Doe had not been a poof dolt he would never have been a good soldier. At least, ao Richard; himself ex ; pressed It In a letter that Abe Walton, the town clerk, received back home from "somewhere In Franca." The young soldier had been the re ciplent of a number of congratulatory missives consequent upon a published -account of his acts of heroism and daring on the western front And the youth had - read them modestly and iliad penned a solitary reply to Aba Walton at Kensington, knowing that .Abe would take It In tarn to the re spective Villagers. And Abe did. Now young Doe had never borne an .-enviable name In the village. Tall sand handsome, he regularly Joined the "'hangers onM about the general store, working at. nothing, and giving but Ilittle promise of ever doing anything . -else. lie made a fit subject for the gossips, of which there were many. -Nevertheless, Richard Doe was always conscious that he! possessed certain latent qualities which ought to be anade patent They needed only a time -of trial to bring out their grit and pli ability. And the time came, and Rath "Walton was. responsible for It . Ruth was the only daughter of Abe "Walton, and a teacher In the Tillage school. She was a tall, slender girl, scarcely out of her teens, whose face was one of those quite as striking for its character as Its beauty. She admired Doe, liked him for his sympathetic understanding of his fel low human beings, his sense of the dramatic, his untrammeled flow of words, which were the best perquisites -of his friendship for a girl In her pro fesslon. Once he had reproved her for overdanclng and had brusquely turned from Tom Whitney's proffered -cigarette case. It was at the supper table that Ruth had said: "Dick lacks the 'pep' that character -Ires the modern young man. He does aiot smoke, he does not dance. He's tfoo handsome to work. He's a dolt." One day, In desperation, Doe decld ed that he would force the attention of the village upon his talent. He "whispered something into the ear ot Abe Walton, who had already given the youth a big corner in his own heart. The next morning he dropped iuitly out of the village and the tongues of the goi-sips wagged furious ly. Mrs. H , who never meddled with anyone's affairs, reminded the neighbors that a year before she had aid that Richard Doe would disap pear some day and would turn up later In a penitentiary. "As for Abe Walton," she declared, "he has yield ed his energy, to the hypnotic influ ence of that loafer scalawag." It was true that Doe's departure gave Abe more energy. He quickly got a contract from a New York Jour nalist for the erection of a pretentious stucco mansion on the knoll adjoining tils own homestead. Time passed" quickly at Kensington. June came and the robins piped their sweetest lay, and the odor of the rose and the honeysuckle stole through screened chamber windows. At the close of a balmy afternoon Ruth Wal ton sat alone In hea own boudoir read ing a war story which appeared In the newspaper. Suddenly she remembered that there 'was a dance that evening In the pa vilion. She arose, rubbed her face, which seemed drawn and bloodless, and hastened below to prepare the eve nlng meal. The dance had never seemed so pretty and overcrowded. Nell Whit ney, In a flurry of excitement, made some complimentary remarks about Ruth's dress. "Richard Doe Is here," she said. "And oh. Isn't it dreadful, Ruth," she gasped, "his left ana has been shot offl" This was too much for Ruth. In the stupor which almost held her brain In thrall she heard a faint "Where's Ruth?" as she tottered to the road that led to Kensington knolL Her hands wavered ; her knees shook at footsteps she knew only too well. "Go I Go back, Richard !" she screamed. "Forgive me. I can't bear to look at you. Tour arm I" she gasped. "It isn't as bad as you think, Ruth," catching her arm and trying to com fort her. "Seel" Deliberately he unbuttoned his frock, disclosing a whole arm suspended In a Bllng. i "Force of habit" he laughed as he buttoned his coat this time with the , arm outside, nis Joviality lapsed her . to a steady calm. A thrill of pleasure surmounted her being as once again he took her hand. A Tresb June zephyr swept the fragrant pine across the knoll, where, bitting against the open sky, a. stately mansion bathed in a flood of silvery moonlight "It's yours, Ruth. I did It for you," be whispered. A solitary tear of Joy stood on the cheek of the girl, who bid her face on the breast of the man who some months before she had consigned to the scrap heap of character failures. , Gently he lifted her head, poshed back ber loose tresses from her face and reverently kissed her. Somewhere among the deeper shad ows of a lilac bush a pair of eyes, over strained and anxious, lit up with child ish delight and a ruddy face broad ened Into one protracted smile. , "Looks like there'll be a wonderful big time In Kensington some day," laid Aba Walton. i , a WANT TO BUT somethlnsT Hun dreds ot people weekly scan these want ad columns looking for what you or others have to offer.
