    EVERYTHING
JUST RIGHT
By T. B. 'ANDERSON

(Copyright, 1930, Western Newspaper Union)
If Nettn and Dorothy Blssell, sis-
tern, lind remained nt home Instead of
f ii t 'li I ri c tho rlfv fivir. tlicv would
not have been responsible-for n sec- I
ond hoirlrii from Brookvllle on the nart '
or Warren and Bert Spencer, brothers,
The Blssoll and. the Spencer farms
Joined and the four had grown up to
gether as playmates. In later years
Warren had courted Nettn and Bert
had kept compnuy with Dorothy, ami
It looked as though the two neighbor
families were destined to be still more
closely linked together.
Netta was church organist and guvu
music lossoim. Dorothy had graduated
and had served as an extra district
schoolteacher. Both were restlessly
ambitious. They had heard of tho gold
en opportunities lying In wait In tho
city for bright, up-to-dulo girls. Netta
had Kiivcd some money and meditated
a course at some standard musical col
lege. ' Dorothy had learned of those
who bad specialized In Homo educa
tional branch and had worked up to
phenomcnnl salaries.
"We won't stand In your way of n
success In life, girls," said patient
plodding John Blssell. and a little lat
er Warren and Bert Spencer stood
forlornly watching a departing
train disappear beyond the little old
rallrond station, bearing away from
them Into the dark and uncertain un
known tho objects of their slncerest
devotion. Then there came about nat
urally their ardent longing to be near
those from whom they had parted. The
Spencer fnmlly went through the snmo
ordeal as their neighbors.
"Give tho boys a chance," submitted
JUchard Spencer, and Warren and Bert
followed the lead of their undaunted
girl neighbors, the former dreaming
of fame as a Inwycr, his brother flllad
with enthusiasm as nn embryo editor,
author, or whatever came along In the
literary line.
Netta was missed at the church or
gan and Dorothy had little student
friends who mourned her desertion, for
she hud won their love completely.
Many a tlmo Richard Spencer straight
ened up from grubbing with his hoe
und lenned upon It, sad and dreamy
looking, thinking of the pride ana"
pleasure he had taken In the past In
having his stnlwart, diligent elder son,
Warren, In the next field, whistling
cheerily while be did the work of two
ordinary tollers from sheer strength
and the ardor of living amid nature.
It was the fond mother who grieved
over Bert, the youngest. Ills farm
duties were lighter.
Cheerful, hopeful letters came to the
respective families after the departure
of these dear ones and very often the
dcsolnted ones spent the evening In
company, their one theme the loved
children far away. The Blssell girls
were living In a community house un
der careful supervision. Thu Spencer
boys occupied a room together nearby
nnd they saw one unotlier nearly every
day.
In the city tho brave, struggling
souls who had found disillusion where
they had anticipated a sure fruition of
thu Impulses of youth and ambition
had ono by one sorrowed because of
their disappointment. The pressures
of homesickness resulted In a generul
comparing of notes and a frank con
fession of longing for home. Love, too,
had blossomed the while, nnd centered
Interest awuy from the sordid prom
ises of the world. Netta acknowl
edged a lack of Interest In the ml
nutliie of music which took In fads and
fancies of melody subservient to Jazz
doggerel, love songs und ragtime. Dor
othy resented the hurd, practical train
ing th'nt would take her among serious,
solemn students cherishing theories
and fads.
Warren found 'the law promised a
herd nnd long apprenticeship, and
Bert the road to literary fame full
of twists and turns and the caprice of
nn exacting public.
John Blssell and Itlchard Spencer
had been away for two days attending
a grange convention at a neighboring
county scat, it was into in the niter
noon when they got off of the train
on their return. In the hearts of both
thoro was a vivid sense of returning
to homes bereft of their brightest
treasures. Each was absorbed along
the line of thut suggestive thought
Abruptly as they passed the little
unlou church of the village, they halt
ed. Swelling out upon the air was an
old familiar hymn. It thrilled John
Blssell, It made Ulchard Spencer look
at him queoily.
"John, It sounds like Ncttn's pluy
lng," lie observed, and together they
stole to nn open window of the struc
ture nnd looked In.
"It's Netta she bus come back," ut
tered Blssull tremulously, "and oh I
Richard, someone Is waving from our
porch."
"Dorothy," cried Spencer "with the
old calico housedress on "
"Look look, Ulchard," shouted Bis
sell excitedly "over In your field
pitching liny Warren I"
Itlchard Spencer choked up and neur-
ly fell over. "Oh I could It be true tha
the welcome wanderer hud returned V
ilo knew that It was so, us out
through tho hroud farm gateway cumo
the team, and in the driver's scut was
Bert,
"Out of tho way," he yelled like
Bomo delighted hoy. "Got to get some
tilings for ma In tU town. Ob, dad
we've como baclc to stay. And every
thins Is Just right."
A DREAMER OF
DREAMS
By JESSIE E. SHERWIN
(Cupyrlght, 1920, Western Newtpapff Union)
Blossom time 111 (lie Valley of I hippy
Days I . A dreamland garden Bpread out
by nature, as If for lovers-only ! It
wn wonder, as they wandered hand
In hnnd ncross tlie velvety sward and
the very birds seemed to warble th
loveliest melodies for their enraptured
cars alone, that Evan Reese and Miri
am Wayne felt that the world was
mnde for them alone and that life was
all of love nnd happiness.
"Sweetheart mine," mucin u red Kvnn,
"it will not he long before we shall
have our own little home In the most
beautiful spot In this most beautiful
paradise. We have reveled In star
shine, und (lowers, and bird song, und
perfumed breezes, nnd poetry, und
dreaming. The practical calls now, but
memory will sweeten und hallow the
golden dnyB we have passed amid
these lovely jtcenes."
She clung to bis strong arm and
leaned her fair golden bead lightly on
his shoulder In u vision seraphic the
rapt smile on her face, the ecstuctlc
glow In her eyes revenllng the pure
soul within. He was nil sincerity nnd
honor, she n lovely bud, Just expanded
Into the full flower of radiant girl
hood. The pretty village nestled In n
golden haze beyond tho end of the
valley. They bad paused nt the emi
nence of a gentle slope, gowned with
(lowering trees und commanding a
view of alternating dale and brook for
miles acros the sun-gilded expanse.
"I have secured an option on the
site here, Just two acres," spoke 'Evan,
"and the owner will hold It for mo In
definitely. When I go bnck to work It
will be raro happiness to prepare the
plans for tho bungalow. As 1 progress
I will send the first outlines to jrou.
to accept or alter at your will. Two
yenrs Is not long, nnd by the end of
that time, with hard work and econ-
ilomy, I snail nave sumcient 10 uuuu
the little nest that shall echo all day
with yeur merry song nnd lnughter."
Dreamers of dreams, alas 1 for their
sublime faith In goodness ono In the
other, In the smo'olh, even materiali
zation of their hopes and plans. Evan
went to Chicago from the little villuge
where he nnd Miriam hnd been born
to become cashier and bookkeeper for
distant relutlve, who made u busi
ness of purchasing commercial paper
on u small capital.
He was Adam Muy, and he bad a
customer named Rupert warren, n
broker, who borrowed on a limit of
ten thousand dollnrs, always on a
special and reliable collateral. One dny
when Evan's employer was away Wur-
ren entered the office In great urgency.
'The full amount," ho said. "There
are the usual securities," and so reg
ular and reliable had been the dealings
of Warren with the house thnt Evan
simply glanced at tho securities, saw
they bore the usual name, "Midland,"
gave a check for ten thousund dollars
and entered the transaction upon his
books.
It was the next morning thut rumor
tlew about In business circles that
Rupert hud absconded, leaving nothing
hut debts. Then Adum Muy made a
discovery that crushed hlni. Warren
had foisted on him not securities In
tho Midland Construction Co., n pros
perous concern, but those of the Mid
land Building Co., a stock jobbing
pronation whose stock was not worth
the paper It was printed on. Of course
ho blamed Evnn, and the latter cen
sured himself for not examining docu
ments more closely. The loss of the
money crippled May, but honest Kvnn
Reese enme to his relief.
Mr. Muy," he said manfully, "the
loss Is due to my carelessness. I will
work for you until the amount Is paid
up for my slnipk board and lodging
Tho rest of my earnings will go to u
fund to recoup you."
It wus tho only way of honor, and
Miriam, with a sigh, with ten years
bnnl servitude before them, gave up
all her bright drenms and urged him
to the noble sacrifice.
Miriam found employment In a
store In the village, Evan labored
nights at extra work, striving to re
duce tho great debt be was obligated
to pay. Those two met only once a
yeur,. and then only 0110 afternoon, for
the hours of work were dnlly precious
to them, it was Just nt the beginning
of summer two yeurs Inter, however,
thut a week's vacntlon cutne for both
at the same time.
Ilo had grown older und more serl
ous. The roses In Miriam's cheeks hud
faded somewhat, but sublime fulth one
In the other was its bright us In those
olden days when they had roamed and
dreamed, us they roumed and dreamed
now.
They sat on the green sward In the
shade of somo bushes near to the site
where the dream house bad never been
built except In their fnncy. There was
a strain of sadness to their mutual
coming together, thoy glunced over the
plans for a little home framed wlleu
Joy and youth glided nil the future.
''It muy be yeurs, but we will not
give up our hope." spoke Kvnn tender
ly,
"It will not bo yeurs," spoke nn In
trading voice, uniL both stared nt 11
man bronzed, bearded, who bud step-
ped Into view.
"You don't remember me?" he asked
"Think again. I urn Rupert Warren
made good In my exile. I went to see
May to pay up what I bad no righ
to take, lie sent me It you. nnd I huve
come to restore to you the money that
will build w uo'ibO of dreams."
DOCTOR OF HEARTS
By BETTY M'INTYRE.
(3. 1920, by McClure Newipaper Syndicate)
Phyllis was a talehtcd, well-educnt-
cd, handsome but unspoiled child of
wealth. The male portion of Kings
town openly adored her, while' the
contrnry sex secretly copied her mun
ners, gowns nnd her style In 'hnlr-dress-
lng.
She was" n born mntchmnker" nnd
quarrel-pa tcher, and when any of the
girls of the town were benrtbroken
over some John Henry, she was sought,
and although she was only twenty-two,
her advice was sage. In this wny she
had earned tho name that the boys
bad given her, "doctor of henrts."
When her friends wrote to her they
always placed D. 0. II. after her name,
nnd with smiling good-nnture she ac
cepted their fun, and no one ever
guessed that the doctor's own heart
needed mending.
Many of her ndmlrers proposed to
her, but she refused them all, for she
did not love them, and she was a firm
believer In whole-hearted love or none
at all. She very tactfully found some
charming girl for ech of the disap
pointed swains.
One benutlful morning the doctor,
feeling rnther lazy, took an Interesting
book nnd some red-cheeked apples that
vied with her own cheeks for roslncss,
nnd settled herself In the couch ham
mock to wait In comfort for the mall
man. When he arrived she smiled ns
she read the D. 0. II. placed after her
nnmc on four of her letters. She
smilingly opened one of them nnd rend
a long letter from one of her "pa
tients" who hnd found happiness. One
letter bore a foreign postmark, but the
usual D. 0. II. was there, and she was
puzzled, for ns fnr as she knew, none
of her friends were nbrond, and the
address being typewritten, gave her
no Information. , She slit the envelope
nnd read:
"Dear Phyllis At last I have found
where you live. Until tonight I have
been unable to find you, although I
have searched for the past three years.
After I returned to Camden and found
you gone, I ran down every possible
clew to find you, but nil In vnln. Last
week I came here from London, for I
knew of your fondness for Egypt, but
I could find nothing here until to
night, when I dropped Into the English
club, nnd hero I met a chap numed
Clark, who knew you. When he told
mo thnt you were not married, I made
up my mind to see you at once, nnd
beg your forgiveness, If I can, for my
foolishness. So I nm coming to you ns
fust as I can, with the hope In my
heart .that you still love me a little.
"Yours forever,
"TOM BEVERLY."
The rest of the mnll was forgotten,
nnd her dnnclng heart made her eyes
glow with a wonderful light. Tom was
coming to her after three long years,
and he had searched until he had
found her; the silly thing they hnd
quarreled over was forgotten. For the
next three days she lived In a fever of
expectancy, nnd each day found her
dressed In some wonderful dress, for
she was anxious to look well when he
enme. For a week she watched for
him nt train time, but be did not come.
One morning In her plain glnghnm
dress she curled up In the hammock
to rest nnd sleep and dream of his
coming. She woke to find Tom lenn-
Ing over her, nnd with a glnd cry her
arm encircled his neck nnd In the kiss
that followed nil the pnln of the years
,wns forgotten.
Suddenly she became conscious of
her plain dress, and asked him to ex
cuse her until she changed It.
"Why chnnge It, sweetheart? You
are wonderful In that dress, and silk
or satin could not Improve you any."
And then, In the approved fashion, he
told her Just bow wonderful she wus
to him. With n happy nigh tho little
doctor of hearts dropped her head on
bis shoulder. A shrill whistle and the
postmnn entered the ynrd with several
letters, all with the D. O. II. after her
name. Tom, picking up one from
where she threw them Into the hnm
mock, kissed the D. O. II. as he said,
with his arm around her, "Doctor of
henrts Is a good name for you, my
dnrllng, for you suru can fix sick
hearts, but after the way you have
fixed mine, I'll tell the world that to
1110 D. O. II. menus delight of henven."
