Job Strong kept a grocery In the
town of Mcdinn, and bo was nn old
bnchelor. It hnd been snld of blm n
hundred times oyer thnt bo wns the
liomcllest mnn lu the stntc.
Job Strong hnd n brother living: In
llrnnswlck, nnd, ns each hnd n tele
phone, messages often passed between
them. Tho grocer hnd a good voice. It
wns deep nnd rich and clear, nnd ho
was accounted one of the best singers
In his church choir. One dny when ho
went to hello for Brunswick he found
himself nnsworcd by a new voice. It
was thnt of a female, and it stirred
his henrt at once. It was pitched to n
gentle cadence. It reminded him of
his-own New Orleans molnsses gently
gurgling from the spigot Into a cus
tomer's Jug. It rolled along tho wire
like a new tiro on a bike, nnd ho held
on to It ns long ns possible. Curiously
enough, thnt deep, rich voice of his
awoke an nnsworlng echo In tho heart
of the opcrntor nt Brunswick. She
thought of knights nnd cavaliers nnd
squires nnd dnmes, nnd It was with n
sigh thnt she switched him over to tho
brother.
It mny bo giving nwny tho plot too
soon, but there Is n curious coinci
dence here to bo explained. The Bruns
wick opcrntor wns nn old mnld nnmed
Miss Judklns. She hnd renched tho
ngc of forty nnd for the Inst twenty
yenrs hnd been n mntch for Job Strong
In homeliness. "As homely ns Miss
Jndklns" wns n saying for thirty miles
nround. They snld of her thnt she
hnd once scared n cow to denth by en
tering tho barn nnd thnt when fnrm
cr drove to town thoy double hitched
their horses to the posts on her ac
count. And, like Job Strong, she didn't
kuow thnt anything Wns nmlss.
After the Ilrst cnll over tho wlro Job
Strong hnd n longing to henr thnt voice
ngnln. Not mnny hours hnd pnssed be
fore he found nn excuse. This time he
did not Inquire for his brother, but
naked nbout the price of rcnl estnte nnd
other things In Brunswick nnd also In
troduced himself. The opcrntor could
do no less thnn give her own nnme
In reply, nnd thus begnn tho courtship,
for such It truly wns. At Icnst three
times n dny tho grocer hnd something
to sny over tho wire nnd found n rondy
nnd sympnthctlc listener. He hnd 11
picture In his mind's eye of the lady
with tho voice thnt thrilled, nnd wheth
er ho wns weighing out sugnr or draw
ing molasses It wnt? ever before him.
She wns tall nnd stately nnd gentle
nnd smiling nnd would mnke n wife to
be proud of. Miss Judklns also hug
ged n mental photograph to her henrt.
It wns of a knight on n block chnrgcr.
Wlicn three months hnd gone by the
grocer determined to visit Brunswick
and know tho worst or best. IJc found
himself nbsentmlnded by" dny nnd
sleepless by night, and this wouldn't
do nt nil. Tho first bo knew his rlvnls
tsii1rl it cnlllnrv wnpnn crnnan 0
cents a box cheaper thnn be was nnd
drawing nwny his trade. lie notified
Miss Judklns of the dny, and alio put
on her Sunday dress nnd extra fnlso
hnlr for tho occnslon nnd nlso got n
substitute for the dny. Two hearts
were bentlng tumultuously as Job
knocked nt the door. Then two people
surveyed ench other for a moment nnd
sat down, nnd there came n painful si
lencc. It was broken nt lnst by Mist)
Judklns' brother, who wns present
After letting out n guffaw to bo heard
forty rods ho exclaimed:
"Well, mny I bo durncd!"
This aroused tho sister to action, nnd
with flnmlng cheeks she turned on Job
Strong and severely snld
"Sir, how dnro you como hero nnd
piny such n trick on me!"
"Trick! Trick! What do you moan?"
"You nro pnsslng yourself off ns Mr.
Strong of Mcdinn, but you enn't be
he!'
"And I expected to see Miss, Judklns
instead ofyou."
"But 1 nm Miss Judklns."
"And I nm Mr. Strong."
"I'll be durncd ngnln!" shouted the
brothor after nnotber guffaw.
"Sir, this Is unbearable!" snld Miss
Judklns as sho roso up.
"Miss, It Is a Joko that I don't under
stand at nil." replied Mr. Strong ns he
nlso roso up.
"I expected to seo n rnthor handsome
man."
"And I a rather handsomo woman."
"But Instead of thnt you nre tho
homeliest mnn I ever lnld eyes on."
"Ditto."
"You Insult me, slrl"
"And you Insult me!"
"Good lnnds, but If I'd bnve known
you were the man you arc I wouldn't
have wasted a minute on you!"
"Ditto again I"
"Look n-bere," said the brother when
ho could stop Inugblng, "you two nro
foolish to quarrel. Destiny hns brought
this nbout. You nro well matched for
homeliness. You both take tho cako
over anything I ever saw. If you don't
get together yon will never have an
other chanco on tho faco of this enrtli.
Julln, you know thnt I'vo told you n
million times thnt you'd senro crows
Into fits. Mr. Strong, you'll oxcuho
me, but I'vo seen more beauty In old
etumps than you can boast of In your
fnce. I'm going outdoors to laugh.

KIDNAPED, j

(Copyright, 1909, by American Prtss Aso-
elation.)
There was to bo a double wedding
between Donald Syphax and May
Southworth, parties of the Urst pnrt,
and Pembroke Hughes and Delia
Illckoi, parties of the lecond part.
Tho pnrtlcs of the first pnrt hnd sout
out their cards nnd made all prepara
tions, when thoy were astonished to
learn that tho parties of the second
pnrt hnd determined to postpone their
shnrc in the ceremony.
What wns the occnslon of this sud
den change of program?
The truth wns (nnd tho pnrtlos of the
first pnrt learned it) thnt tho pnrtlcs of
tho second pnrt, having heard that
both couples wcro to bo given a hot
tlmo on the wedding night by their
friends, concluded they would not only
escape the Intended attentions by de
lay, but have nn opportunity to join lu
whnt wns In store for the Syphax-
Southworth pnlr. Tho latter couple
had no cholco but to be married on
tlmo or recnll tho Invitations. They
decided to como to tho scratch, but to
put In prnctlco n plnn for outwitting
the others.
Miss Southworth's wedding took
plnco in her father's home, situated nt
the end of a long block of stone front
houses on one of the principal dwelling
streets of the city. The ceremony was
to take place nt 10 o'clock, and tho
brldo and groom gavo out that they
would take an 11 o'clock train for
parts which they declined to mention to
nny one whatever. An nutomobllo was
to bo In waiting to take them to the
station with a chauffeur they could
trust linpllclty, for ho was n brother
of tho groom.
An enthuslnstlc number of friends
nttended the wedding, Including Mr.
Hughes nnd Miss Tllckox. The cere
mony hnd been performed, the bride's
health hnd been drunk lu the supper
room, nnd the couple went upstairs to
get on wraps preparatory to their de
parture. A dozen automobiles stood
ready without, armed with tin horns.
Tho lower hallway was crowded
with gueHtP. holding old slippers and
rice, wnltlng for the couple to come
down nnd pass out. Considerable time
elnpscd. nnd some one became hub
plclous. A committee wont upstairs
and after a prolonged seuvch came
back with tho Information thnt the
bridal pair were not to be found.
Tho merry crowd were not to be
cheated entirely of tho sport they had
anticipated. Bob Southworth. a broth
er of tho bride, suggested that a eouplo
pcrsonnte the one thnt hnd escaped
and asked tho Hughes-IIIckok couple
If they would mnke the ride to tho
station In tho nutomobllo Intended for
tho bride nnd groom. They willingly
ncceptcd the pnrt nnd, accompanied by
Bob Southworth, who hnd mnde tho
suggestion, nnd bin sister Lucln, enmo
down tho staircase, received tho show
or of slippers and rice, went out and
got into tho automobile. Then the
mock bridal party rolled away, fol
lowed by tho other nutos, the attend
ants tooting the horns nnd firing romun
candles.
Now, it appeared from tho first that
the bridal auto was stronger nnd fnst
cr thnn nny of the others nnd pos
sessed a chauffeur who was bent on
leaving them behind. Ho thrended his
way skillfully through the streets, not
to n rnllrond station, but to the out
skirts of the city, nnd from the out
skirts on a country rond. The mock
bridal couple enjoyed the ride 1m
meusoly, but soon noticed that the fun
was over, for not one of the following
nutos was In sight. Then they began
to think of returning, but the propost
tlon wns received with n burst of
laughter.
"You're In the hnnds of tho enemy,"
snld Bob Southworth. "Lucia and 1
have you lu charge, our brother Ned
Is chauffeur, and we're going to make
this a double wedding after all."
"What do you mean?" cried Delia
Illckox, aghast.
"Why, we're muklng for tho Buck
lnirhnm House. There's no way of
getting nwny from It nftcr 11 p. m.
nnd no train to get back to town on
If you could loavo tho hotel. We're go
ing to lenvo you thero together, and
you can stay or not, as you like. We'll
glvo you a pnrson to hitch you bo's
provided for nnd waiting nnd if you
don't use blm there'll bo the biggest
scandal our set has known In years."
"And you were In league with Don
ald and May?"
"They concocted tho scheme. They
escaped through tho lcuUIu iu the roof
and came down and out through an
other house In the block."
They were going like a hurricane
and lu an hour pulled up at their
destination. Meanwhile tho pair had
consulted, Invented plans of escape
only to throw them aside and nt lnst
enmo to the conclusion thnt slnco they
must bo Inughed nt It would bo better
to bo laughed at without a scandal.
When they reached tho gonl they found
n parson waiting and all ready for a
wedding. Those iu the auto wero pre
paring to return without them when
they consented and wero married. In

Johnny Bounce nnd 1 were school
mates nnd fast friends. Johnny wns
younger thnn I, but stronger. Every
boy who could lick tno nvnlled himself
of tho opportunity JiiBt for the fun of
It. Johnny could lick most of them
nnd, noticing thnt l needed a friend, be
gan to lick every boy thnt licked mo.
This hnd a wholesome effect, nnd t
was soon let nlonc. Indeed, I nm not
sure thnt I did not Impose on some of
them, knowing that n drend of John's
big fist would dctor them from giving
me n deserved punishment.
when wo left school to go out Into
tho world (wo wero pretty big boys
then) 1 snld to John Bounce: "Johnny,
I want you to understand thnt 1 owe
you n wholo lot. If I ever got n chnnco
to mnke n stand off for whnt you've
done for me, I'll do It."
"Oh, you don't owo mo anything,
Tom," ho snld. "Besides, I guess we'll
both get nlong pretty woll."
I didn't sec John nfter our pnrtlng
for yenrs. Then ono dny n mnn enmo
into my ofllco of very forlorn nppenr
nnce. 1 put my fingers In my pocket
to get out 10 cents when I noticed tho
fellow looking at me with n quizzical
expression.
"You don't know me, Tom?"
"No, I don't."
"I'm Johnny Bounce."
My heart sank, for I know that tho
world had been too much for John.
However, I gave his hand n warm
grasp, asiceu mm to su oown nnu ten
me whnt ho hnd been doing. He snld
he hadn't hnd much success thus far,
but he had "Irons in tho fire," some of
which ho thought would pan out vory
big. I had heard of these "Irons" bo
fore in connection with men who hnd
lost their grip on the world nnd knew
thnt Instead of Irons they were gnsca.
But I saw that John was sincere, so 1
did not discourage blm.
"You enn't run n thing like thnt,
John," I snld, referring to ono of his
schemes, "without being 'grub staked.'
I haven't nny capital to put In, but I
wish you would let mo lend you what
you need from tlmo to time. I'vo got
$10 hero In my No? Don't need It?
Well, whenever you do como right in
here and get it."
I know perfectly well that ho needed
money, but could not bring himself to
take It from mo, whose equal ho hnd
been In everything except nn ability
to punch boys' heads, and In this ho
had been my superior. I was obliged
to lot blm go without nffordlng him
relief, but I took his nddress, resolving
to find some Indirect way of giving
him money. But I wns very busy nt
the tlmo nnd put the matter off. Bo
sides, I am not an Inventive genius nnd
failed to think of any method of lend
ing John Bounce money without ap
pearing to give It.
One morning a woman came Into my
ofllco and said she had heard John
Bounce, who boarded with her, speak
of me. She snld that Bounce owed her
?87.'I5 for board, and she would like
me to tell her If he hud any property
on which she could levy. I told her
that Mr. Bounce was a perfectly hon
orable man, but was trying to carry
through certain schemes without suffi
cient capital. She left with a check
for the amount of her bill. A week
later 1 received a note from John re
grettlng that tho woman had thought
It necessary to adopt such strenuous
measures nnd nssurlug me thnt one of
fils Irons wns nt white heat and he
would soon cnll nnd return the amount.
I ndmlred his plan of enabling mo to
help him Indirectly.
John never enmo to sec me. Ills
pride, his sensitiveness, whntevor It
wns, wouldn't let him. Ono dny n long
while after the board bill episode I
received a note from an undertaker
telling mo that a man named John
Bounce had died in n boarding house.
A letter from mo had been found In
bis room, nnd slnco thero was no
money to bury him It was deemed nd
vlsablo to notify me. Tho nmount re
quired was nbout $100.
I wns sorry now since poor John
wns gono thnt 1 had not been able to
do moro for him. I Inclosed n check
for the n mount and authorized a call
for more. I did the latter as an ex
cuse to my conscience for not attend
ing to tho matter peivonally. I couldn't
bring myself to such a nielnneh'.ly
duty.
A few months inter 1 received a noto
from one who wrote that he had been
an Intimate- friend of the late Mr. John
Bounce, the Inventor. It was proposed
by several of Mr. Bounce's friends to!
place a headstone at IiIh grae. There
wore four men ready to contrib
ute $50 cm h. The cost of the stone
would bo $2150. Knowing that I had
been a w-hnolnintc of Mr. Bounce, he
had ventured to write to know If I
would make ono of fivo. I at once sent
my check for $80.
A year passed. Ono morning I re
ceived u note from a lawyer statlnc
that John Bounce had died n few days
beforo (my hair stood on end with as
tonishment), that Mr. Bounce had left
mo bis sole hnlr fl wondered), that
Mr. Bounce had patented a mechanical
toy, and that a toy manufacturing
company stood ready to glvo $25,000
for the sole right to inauufacturo (I
grasped my desk for support).
This wonder turned out to bo n real
ity. I accepted tho off or. and wh-n
tho check wns paid mo my eyes filled
with tears. My poor, dear Johnny
Bounco had succeeded after all, but
too lute. My thoughts wero only on
that gonitis for Inventing methods by
which I could glvo him money wlth
out wounding tho feelings of either
Wimrctt or me..
