Dy LOUISE OLIVER.
Clara Jano fairly staggered Into the
room she was bo tired.
Off camo the hat with a Jork. The
poor little Btlck-up got a vicious tug
and was flung across tho room and out
of tho window. "I hate hats! I'vo
sorted feathers today till I'm full of
thom. I eat them, brcatho thom, ugh
I can't even look at a bird. And I'm
hungry!"
Tho contents of soveral papor bags
did not look inviting crackers In ono,
stalo rolls In another and somo old ap
ples with wrinkles. She slghod. "I
wish I had somo of mother's wafllos
and chicken, and some corn pudding
and caramel sweet potatoes and choc
olate cako and custard plo and "
"Somo grlddlecakes and country
sausago and apple dumplings and "
Tho masculine voico stopped. Clara
Jano turned and stared oponmouthed
at tho unexpected person In tho door
way. Ho evidently encouraged confi
dence, for she answerod sadly: "I've
,nothlng loft to remind me of homo but
my name. I hang on to every Inch of
It."
"But you can't eat that," said tho
man. "It's awful to bo hungry."
"How did you got horo?"
"ThlB camo out of the window. I
looked up and saw no ono. I rang tho
boll. A fat woman anBworod It. I
handed this In. Sho said Instantly:
'It's Miss Amherst's. You take It up.' "
"For goodness sako, don't ask
thanks for that. I hato It. I threw It
out. I novor want to boo a feather. I
work with them nil day."
"Now I must go. Hut, say, will you
do something for mo? I'm going to a
party and my only pair of gloves nood
mondlng. Do you think you could put
in a stitch?"
"Yes, lndoodl I'll bo glad to."
"Then I'll bo going by In flfteon min
utes. I can't come up. Havo you
anything you can lot down?"
"I'll tlo a string to my hat."
"But when thoy aro dono, what will
you do?"
"When they're dono! Oh, I'll JuBt
whlatlo."
Flfteon minutes lator Clara Jano
drew up tho hat, baskotllke, containing
a largo paper parcel that smolled do
HcIoub when opened.
Sausages, a soft-shelled crab, a
baked potato, hot rolls, butter, mar
malade and cako from a nearby res
taurant. "I'll havo to oat."
So sho did oven tho potato skin.
Then alio waited for tho whlatlo, all
evening, but nono camo and alio was
glad of It after all. Sho was begin
ning to liko her Irishman.
Clara Jano awoko with tho birds,
country fashion, put an old buckle on
her hat whero tho feather thing had
bocn and drank some coffoo mado over
tho gas Jot. Then Bho wont to work.
Her particular department of tho big
Btoro wob feathers. "I hato to go in,"
she protosted ns alio tlod on her apron,
"I wonder if thoy won't givo mo rosos
and flowora instead. That's tho lloor
abovo and it would bo a change of
scene as well as occupation. If I over
get into tho trimming dopartmont I'll
know the millennium has coma!"
"I think it's horo," said a voice. sus
piciously llko tho Irishman's.
Sho was talking aloud and didn't
know it. It enmo from lonollness.
Clara Jano turned and conllrmod tho
suspicion. "Whero aro tho gloves I
was to mond?"
Mb faco foil. "1 forgot all about
them."
"You told a story!"
"A downright black Ho. It's terrible
sorry 1 am."
"You don't look it. Anyway you aro
forgiven."
"Thank heavon!"
"Tho crab was lino."
"YoB'm!"
"And tho sausages woro hotter!"
"Yes'm!"
"Don't say that again. And tho po
tatoes and rolls and all tho rest of tho
stuff were dollclous! It saved my llfo."
Sho bont her arm. "I'm as strong as
Samson this morning. I could pluck
an ostrich, much aa I hato foathora."
"I camo to boo about It."
"About what?"
"Giving you another position. TIiIb
Ib my Btoro, Miss Ludy-From-tho-Coun-try-Who-Neods-AU-IIor-Namo."
"My namo 1b Clara Jano Amherst. I
supposo you aro Mr. Terry if you own
the storo."
"You don't seem much Impressed!"
"I'm not. I hato tho old place. Any
way I'd rather work with tho flowors."
"Won't anything oIbo do?"
"Woll, I can't starvo, so I can't leavo.
If you order mo to the collar to ahovol
coal I'll havo to so."
"Worso than that. I'm going to or
dor you out of tho storo and Into my
Ijoubo, if you'll go. I novor wanted a
wifo until yostorday and she intro
duced hersolf by throwing things at
me. That's tho spirit I llko. Suits
my Irish blood. What do you say,
mavournoon will you como?"
"Weill, you aro dlroct. I I don't"
"That's no way to begin. Try it
again."
."Woll mayho I"
"That's better. Co on."
"Perhaps I will."
"Fine. Whon do you want to bo

NEWS FROM HOME
Dy LESLIE GRANGER.
Laura had novor folt so bluo in her
llfo. Tho postman had Just loft two
letters.
Tho ono from homo sho laid aaldo
for more lelauroly reading, but tho
thick white papor of tho other Iden
tified it with a wedding, and Laura
opened It eagerly.
To her dismay, tho names of Alex
McCuno and Harriet Tumor stared at
her from tho papor. Bolow was tho
dato of tho recont wedding. That waa
enough I Laura dropped tho Invitation
and reached for hor handkerchief.
Alex, hor old-tlmo sweetheart, had
deserted hor!
Tho odlco, savo for Laura, was emp
ty. Mr. Jonnlngs had put on his hat
and ovorcoat and gono home. Whilo
Laura was in tho mlddlo of another
good cry, ho recalled somothlng ho
had neglected and returned.
"Why, Miss Shorldan! What In
tho world Is tho matter?"
"N-nothlng! I'm not crying."
"Then I beg your pardon. Slnco you
aro porfoctly happy, I prosumo thoro is
no nood of sympathy. I havo an extra
ticket tonight for tho Lyric club con
cert and thought you might mako ubo
of It, If you caro for muBlc."
Laura aprang up. "Thank you!" sho
oxclaimod, dabbing at her swollen
eyes. "I guess I was crying wasn't
I?"
"It looked a bit llko it. Won't you
toll mo why?"
Mr. Jennings' sudden interest and
kindness startled hor into answering:
"Nollio's gono and Alox is married and
I'm all alono and nobody cares for mo
tho least bit."
"So Alox is married!"
Sho lookod up surprlsod. "What do
you know about Alox?"
"Woll, I got to know about him somo
way. Regular letters and all that, I
supposo. Besides, I couldn't bo deaf
to an allusion you mado ovor tho tele
phono ono day. Did did you llko
him bo vory much?"
Laura bridled. "Well, I guess I
won't dlo! If I'd really wanted him
I'd havo taken him long ago."
Mr. "Jonnlngs nodded approvingly.
Laura wont on it was comforting
to havo somo ono so sympathetic: "I
don't know what to do how that Nol
lio's gono, I really ought to go home
to tho farm, I guess."
"Do you moan to say you camo from
a wholosomo placo In tho country to
this sln-rlddon city Just for adven
ture ?"
"Yes," wondorlngly.
"And father and mother and sister
and brothers and cats and chlckons
and cows and everything on earth
worth while l"
"Yes."
"Why did you do it?"
"I novor got any clothes, and I
wanted "
"Then you woro a vory silly little
girl and you'd hotter go back." Ho
put on his hat and wont out.
For tho llrst tlmo In hor llfo Bho
had neon Mr. Jonnlngs Jolted out of his
well-poiaod, gontlomanly solf. And ho
had called her "silly" and banged tho
door! Ho was vory rude! Hor chooks
flamed red.
"Ho needn't think I want to go to
his old concert!" Sho picked up tho
ticket, meaning to tear It across and
It upon his desk whero ho could see it
in tho morning. Then tho words "silly
littlo girl" rang in hor oars. "Ho'U
only think mo a baby."
So sho tucked it into her bag, put on
hor wraps and wont homo.
Sho also got ready that night and
wont nlono to tho concort.
Tho Lyric club proved to bo a gloo
club, and Mr. Jennings a member. Ho
sang a rich barytone which thrilled
Laura desplto hor effort to find it or
dinary. Toward tho end of tho second half,
she bogan to fool a dollclous drowsi
ness. Slowly Laura's oyollds dropped
and at last sho was asleep, hor head
resting over bo lightly on tho back of
hor plush scat.
Soon tho concort was ovor, tho cur
tain rang down and pooplo started to
fllo slowly up tho alslos to tho door.
At last tho hall was empty, or bo tho
usher thought whoao duty It wus to
turn off tho lights and closo tho doors.
Laura slept on peacefully In tho black
loneliness of tho great placo.
Then some ono laid a hand gently
on hor shoulder. Sho Btlrred.
"Tlmo to got up, is It, Noll?"
"Yes!" said a man's volco vory
familiar It seemed. "It's time, Miss
Sheridan."
Laura opened hor eyes and sprang
to hor feet. Tho lights wore on now,
and boforo hor stood Mr. Jennings.
"Why, whero did tho pooplo go, nnd
what'o hupponed to tho music? Why
suroly I I haven't boon" Sho looked
around, bowlldorod.
"You havo been having a nice littlo
nap. I'vo been waiting outside to tako
you home. Otherwise you'd have
stayod horo until tomorrow. I Just
found you this minute. Thoro! Aro
you awako enough to go now?"
Sho was feeling vory littlo and fool
ish, and sho had meant to bo so digni
fied. Ho drow her hand through his
arm as thoy waited for a car.
"I'm sorry I hurt your foelings to
day, MIbb Shorldan. Will you forgl'-o
mo?"
"Yes!"
"And I'm glad Alex got married and
left you alone."
"Why?"
"Because I want to take tho vacant
place, Laura."

BETTY'S BROKEN RESOLVE
By CATHERINE CRANMER.
"I'll toll you, sis, you'd hotter not try
Markhnm too sovoroly, or you'll drlvo
ofT an a numbor ono' matrimonial
chanco."
"PBhaw, Jack! Aren't thoro plenty
moro fish In tho sea?"
"Not plenty of Markhnm's kind."
"You aro evidently of ono mind with
him, for it's becauso he is so suro that
ho can't bo wrong about anything that
I'vo been keeping him on tho unxlous
seat"
"Tako it from me, sis, it wob a wiso
follow who Bald that a man Ib some
thing llko an egg if you keep him In
hot water a littlo whilo ho bolls soft,
but keop him thoro too long and bo
hardens. Do you get mo?" Jack's
question waa flung over hla shoulder
from tho front hall, whero ho was got
ting Into his overcoat and hat.
"Yes, I got you," laughed Betty, as
sho curled up in a big tapestried arm
chair in front of tho Hroplaco.
Although sho had firmly resolved not
to givo a singlo thought to Frod Mark
ham until ho apologized for his part In
tholr quarrel of tho ovoning before,
aomchow, aa sho gazed into tho fire,
hor thoughts wore nil of him. Tho
quarrel had como about from Betty's
montion of a lark Bho had enjoyod at. a
fancy drcsa ball at tho country club a
fow evenings boforo when a moving
plcturo had been taken of tho ball
room by a society man whoso latest
fad waa moving pictures.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed Fred. "I
hopo you didn't get in range of tho
plcturo machine?"
"Why, yea! Why not? Larry Mapes
and I did a special stunt boforo it."
"And may I ask whon and whoro
this plcturo is to bo run as a means of
flaunting you in tho faco of tho pub
lic?" "Now may I ask," began Betty,
"whether this plcturo is any affair of
yourB and whether you want to Bhleld
tho public or tho plcturo by prevent
ing its appearance?"
"It may not bo my affair, Betty that
rests with you," Frod answored, "but
I want to protect tho plcturo becauso
you're In It."
And so tho quarrol had continued
until Fred had bowed a formal good
night to a haughty Betty.
Sho was still curled up In tho arm
chair gazing medltatlvoly at tho flro
when hor mother nnd father returned
from their dinner engagement at
Judge Mapes'.
"My, but you're homo early!" she
exclaimed. "Did tho Judge run out of
stories or did tho cook run Bhort on
courses?"
"Neither, my dear," answered hor
father, as ho removed his gloves and
Blapped thom togother and held thom
tight In his right hand, "but Larry evi
dently ran out of sane amusements
and camo near causing his own finish
as woll as that of two other people."
"Poor old Larry! What's ho up to
now?" asked Betty Indifferently.
"Ho'b In tho hospital right now, hav
ing his many bruises dressod, and a
poor little chorua girl will bo too ner
vous to stand In tho front row to
night, and" with a sly look from un
der hla frowning oyobrows "Fred
Markham has got a smashed roadster,
a brulaed head and somo broken ribs
aa mementos of his heroism.
"Fred Markham! Daddy, tell mo
what you mean!" Thero was no lack
of cagorncss now In Betty's big oyos.
"Well, Fred was driving along In
tho park and ho saw Larry's littlo
red and whlto racer como shooting
toward him llko a cannon ball and on
the samo sldo of tho road aa ho was.
Thoro was a small ombankmont sloping
down from tho rod, and Frod tried to
turn his car down that embankment
beforo tho racer hit him, but Its front
wheel struck his back ono, and his ma
chlno tumod turtle and Larry's wont
smash."
"Oh, daddy" almost In a whisper
"is Fred badly hurt? What mado him
try to Jump tho embankment? Why
didn't ho cross to tho other side of tho
road?"
Betty was puzzled at tho question
ing look that passed between her moth
er and her father boforo there waB
any answer to her questions.
"Because, Betty," said hor father
slowly, "thero was a chanco that Lar
ry also might go that way, and ns Frod
saw thero was a girl with Larry ho
took no chanco becauso ho thought tho
girl might be you."
At that moment Betty's brothor
Jack camo bustling Into the hall and
up to tho llbrnry door.
"Geo, sis," he blurted out, with tho
air of ono who has big news to tell,
"Markham camo deuced near being a
scrambled egg Instead of a hard-bollod
ono." In spite of Betty's wall of pro
test, ho added, "But lnstoad of stay
ing In tho hospital, ho mado thom tako
him to his own apartment and Insisted
ho was all right, notwithstanding his
broken ribs."
Botty vanished up tho stairway tho
next Instant, and whon Jack went up a
fow moments later she was at the tele
phone. "And, Fred, do be very caroful,
dear," she was saying, "and aro you
suro you havo forgiven mo and that
your happiness la greater than your
hurts?" After the briefest pauso, sho
addod, timidly, "And, Fred, I Just want
to say that, after all, Mr. Mordaunt'u
plcturo machine foozled on tho picture
thoy took at tho fancy dross ball."
Then sho hung up tho receiver with a
lingering touch.
