ABORIGINES!

Copyright, 1001, by A. S. Iticlmrdson I
The "cliff dwellers," from tho dizzy
altitude of their apartments In the old
studio building, were on terms of semi
rivalry (veiled of course by the usual
billowy courtesies) with tho "mound
builders," who "burrowed" on the llrst
tloor. The runner "drew with n pencil," (
and the latter "did things with a pen," i
and there was nbssolutcly no ground for
collision In their work, but Instinctive
ly they pretended there was (each se
cretly wondering If the others guessed
fnets) merely to disguise the real causo
for the friction a man, as usual, or,
rather, three men, who nlso '"bunked"
In the studio building. The sum of the
situation was tho cliff dwellers were
tho poster sort both as to occupation
and personality. They dressed smartly,
chatted entertainingly, even wittily,
were trammeled by no traditions and
were o match In most ways for any
up to date young man of their ac
quaintance. Whereas the mound builders were
not full Hedged Bohemians and far
from "smart," they still had IdealH
and Illusions, also a chaperon, who was
the mother of one of them. They had
taken tho ground lloor apartment be
cause tho rent was lower.
When Dal and his chum and "tho
other one" spent an evening either sep
arately or collectively with the mound
bulldcrst, they came away feeling de
cidedly Jolly, almost boyishly so, on
good terms with themselves and tho
rest of the world.
"A call on the builders leaves a good,
wholesome taste In a fellow's mouth,"
"the other one" had remarked one
night.
"The little girl's mother's a brick,"
Dal chimed In. "She makes one feel
like the time when the treetops 'seemed
close against the sky.' "
Dallas Sinclair had dropped In this
afternoon Just for a word with Viva
cla, she of the cliff dwellers, and had
stepped back of the screen to examine
some of her latest sketches, Vlvacla
had paused In the next room to slip on
a pretty house gown. Somehow she al
ways liked to look her best when Dal
came.
So It happened that while Dal was
back of the screen they left the eleva
tor and paused to study the card care
lessly left In the ground glass door.
'"Hack at -. It's ten minutes of.
Lot's wait. I can never screw my cour
age up to this point again."
It was the voice of "tho little girl,"
she of the mound builders, Thau the
door was pushed further open, and the
two enK'ivU. . .
"Oh", mamsle, dear! If our den only
looked llko this! I wonder people ever
come to sec us we're so 'sparse.' "
Dallas was In an agony. It would
certainly not do to disclose his pres
ence. Ills soul loathed the role of eaves
dropper. Yet ho did so want to know
which one she cored for, himself or
"tho other one."
"If only my last woo bit story will be
n 'go,' " tho sweet voleo went on, "then
I can accept Mr. Sinclair's Invitation at
last. I suppose most of our frlend.i real
ly believe our 'no placo like home' ex
cuses by this time."
"Is that the bachelor girl story
'Tips?' " tho older voice OBkcd. "Why
didn't you let Mr. Sinclair have that,
Dorothy? He told you ho was on the
Up to Date staff."
"Now, mother mine, you know I
couldn't do n thing like that. I would
rather never have It printed."
"Well, maybe not. You're a funny
little chick of n daughter, but one can
overdo even so desirable a thing as In
dependence. If Mr. Sinclair wants to
bo of service to you, I don't see why
even If he Is merely a casual acquaint
anco" tho color crept up over the girl's
fair throat "you would do the same
for him, I am sure."
"Hut, anyway, It's lots more fun,
mamsle, dear," the girl began, with an
effort at lightness, "to bluzo one's own
trees."
"And that Is why you said 'NV to
Tom Davenport last week and refused
Aunt Sugeuutn's gifts"
"Now, mother, dear, you know Aunt
Sagcuian treated you atrocious y not
so long back. I'm not going to shallow
that Just because I happen to need
togs."
"Still It doesn't do to bo too proud,
dearie. Who was It-UIIJah who let
himself be cared for by wasn't It ra
vens?" "Mamsle, you must read up," the
girl exclaimed, laughing, "lluvcns are
all right, or even Kugllsh spin-rows,
for that matter, but I draw the Hue at
relations. And as for Tom, ha was
good, and he had pennies and ances
tors and all the usual means of grace,
but well, I Just couldn't, Dial's all.
It would seem nice, though," rcllec
tlvoly, "not to have to calculate
whether my shoes will hang together
till I get back before I accept an In
vitation for n stroll. I'm afraid Provi
dence has grown a trllle abscuti liudcd
In my direction of Into."
"Dorothy, my dear," the older voice
cried, "you frighten me. You must not
talk so," and then with u change of
tone and uppareut Irrelevance: "Dal
las Sinclair was talking to niu last
night about his home. He has i very
lovable nature, Dorothy, such , con
trast to Mr. Mortimer."
"Tho other one? Oh, he's Just a nice
playfellow. What-what did Mr. Sin
clair say to you, mother?"
Thero was a clatter of heels In the
hall, n Momentarily ustoulshcd lace In
the doorway, tho gllUy false nr.
nuranccs of welcome .and dllght.dur:
lug which Dal silently and "unnoticed
Clipped from screen to open door. Ho
took the llrst cab for his otllco In tho
Up to Date building to Importune the
long suffering manuscript reader as to
n story entitled "Tips," which ho rep
resented as having been turned in by
himself Incog, after a bad quarter
of iu hour. "Hut wait till I touch It
up, and you'll howl for It," he sold.
"I believe she'd forgive mo If she
knew," ho assured his conscience,
"and I'll tell her all about It after
ward." A week later a typewritten noto of
acceptance, with a doublo dosed cheek,
which Dorothy In her inexperience did
not stop to scrutinize (It was not from
the Up to Date checkbook), uindo sun
shine In a certain dark studio and
made possible a certain long deferred
outing, from which two peoplo return
ed tired and happy as the children they
really were nt heart.
"The Hat seems so stuffy after to
day," Dorothy had said.
"Let's go up on the roof Just for a
sendoff"
"Oh, tho cliff dwellers slnkcd that off
long ago as their claim," Dorothy ob
jected wistfully.
"Nonsense! What's that to 'us-es?'
We'll counterstidie." And they laugh
ed as they entered the cagcllko old ele
vator. Up among tho chimneys and
under the stars, sitting without dis
comfort on tho edgo of tho ugly brick
cornice
"If I only had spaco like this to
write In," Dorothy said, "hut In my
silco of si room Just a pigeonhole"
"Why, that's all right," tho man re
turned cheerily. "You're Just a sketch
yourself yet. Pigeonholes aro tho
places for such things. Wult till you
get to be a volume and si number of
them"-
"Thcn I'll be laid on tho shelf?"
"No; you'll have u whole llbrstry to
yourself."
"I think I'll tell you n bit of luck
that came my way lately," Dorothy
began sifter si pause, and then she re
lated all she knew of tho Up to Date
Incident. Dallas Sinclair was properly
surprised, appreciative and congratu
latory, and when conscience twinged
ho repeated, "I'll tell her tho truth
afterward."
It was so good to bo thero In tho
mellow autumn starlight, so free, so
still, so-yes, so near together. "To
getherness" Is one of tho good things
of this dear old earth. For a moment
tho thought of it nil thrilled tho girl's
sensitive being, tho little white hand
that was nearest Dai's trembled und

"A pair ofoyos, unnoticed, emerged
from the trapdoor and as quickly van

other cliff dwellers. "I I don't feel
