. 19X1, Western Newnpaper Union,)
The snowstorm Increased as Lyn
Wnlford endeavored to force his enr
up the hill. If It continued he would
bo obliged to seek shelter at somo
farmhouse along tho way. Driving fur
ther, with great rifts blowing upon
every side, was dangerous. Lyn pressed
his lips angrily together us he drow
out his watch In the half-light, to as
certain the time. The whole Journey
was n fool affair, he told himself lm
pntlently, Its object, purposeless and
unavailing. The gront house of his de
parted uncle might retnnln unclaimed
In Its Impossible distant situation as
far" ax he was concerned. Sighting
tho lights of a nearby cottage, ho
turned In at the driveway and made
his way to n renr entrance to seek
welcome. A lieut old woman respond
ing to his summons raised her volco.
"Daisy," she called. "Daisy Brown."
Then In the lamplight Lyn Walford
saw n girl coming toward him.
"Ccrtulnly you may come In," tho
girl answered his question. "Run your
car Into the shed. Wc are accustomed
to strangers seeking shelter on nights
like this."
And after a hearty supper, Lyn sat
before the cozy sitting room Arc, his
eyes resting admiringly upon "Daisy
Brown" who sat opposite.
"I was making," Daisy Brown told
him, "little pies when yon enmc.
Fluted ones of. inlncc, and cranberries.
The kind " she laughed softly, "that
you used to like when you were a
boy."
"I wonder," Lyn Wnlford said, "if I
ever was a hoy. I feel very old to
night. And yct " he smiled nt her,
"my unexpected stopping here brings
me nn old-time senso of ndventure to
come."
. "Perhaps," the girl suggested, "the
pleasant adventure waits at the end of
your Journey."
The ninn frowned, nnd unnccount
bly, for his nature was reticent. lie
was moved to confidence. "My Jour
ney," he told the attentive Daisy
Brown. "Is n rather foolish conces
sion tn form. An old uncle whom for
yenrs I have not seen took it ntp
his head during his last Illness to be
queath to mi! his estate, upon condi
tion that I share the same with his
ward and stepdaughter ns husband
and wife. This unusual young wom
an hns Installed, I believe. In the fine
old rooms .a sort of roadside tea
house, which has become, so popular
.yjttljjiutnpartles that dollars arc pour
ing Into her coffers. The young wom
an certainly possesses Ingenuity and
cleverness, to hnve made of this crum
bling dead old house an assured llnnn
clnl success. But T am on my way to
night 1o tell my uncle's stepdaugh
ter that 1 am not eligible for that po
sition. As she has put In no refusnl
to tire condition of the will, I take It
that she leaves thnt decision to my
self. . It's an idiotic position In which
to place a man, but I shnll leave the
ambitious woman sole mistress of her
realm."
"What," asked Daisy Brown, "is
the name of this young woman's tea
room, und where Is' the house?"
"A communication which 1 received
from her"' Wnlford replied, "had an
inscription painted at the top: 'The
House nt the End of the Roii'd. Be
neath It, that poetic quotation about
'Living in a house nt the' side of the
roadyand being a friend to all. It
was very pretty. Also, 1 fancy, very
fetching. She still calls the place by
my uncle's name of 'Walford,' and
signs herself 'Marguerite, your uncle's
stepdaughter."
Daisy Brown's face was rosy In the
firelight, the sweet sincerity of her
guzM was refreshing, somehow, to
Lyn's tired spirit.
"I know the place very well," she
suid softly, "and I know this Mar
guerite, too. You wrong her when
you think she was too acquiescent to
the will condition. She was Just try
ing to hold the place, yon see, "until
you should come, and to practice, per
haps, for some future plan of self
support. She lias been successful, but
that Is ticcnusc she hns worked so
hord, cooking and baking herself, and
really trying to be, too, 'a friend to
all.' Your uncle's Inst Illness hnd
takcn'nll thnt he hud. It was a long
Illness, and Marguerite was as faith
ful as she could be. So, ho liked her
nnd as he hnd always liked you, it
was due to his affection for both thnt
he planned the mistaken will." Dnlsy
Brown dimpled Into a smile. "But
the mnnaglng sort of person will not
want the gift of your uncle's house,"
she said, "and I nin quite sure that
she would not wish either to mnnuge
your uncle's nephew. You see, she
lias a tiny home of her own thnt used
to be her mother's when her mother
wns Daisy Brown, and there, this am
bitious Murguerite, Is Just Daisy, too,
to the old couple who lived there with
her when she wns horn. And In that
little house your uncle's stepdaughter
cooks and bakes the things for her
grand tea-room, and if you'll wait Just
a minute" Lnughlngly the girl
arose, ','1 will go nnd fetch, you n
mulberry pie," she said.
Lyn Wnlford arose, too. With n
sudden eager movement he put forth
his hand. "Please," he begged un
steadily, "shake hands and pardon. I
don't know how to snlllcleiitly hum
ble jnypclf. or to speak jjiy admiration
for your courage." His earnest gaze
belled the lightness of his tone. "Or
my admiration Mr uncle's far-seeing
wisdom," sold Lyn Walford.
( till, by McClure Newipupor 8yndlcto.
"Good morning, Bob dear," accentu
ated by an affectionate greeting, was
Rob's wife's salutation on thin bouutl
ful morning In early September.
"Morning," wns tho grurt and al
together too frequent response ironi
her better-half, who Immediately
slumped Into his chair and made a
veritable grab at tho morning pni-er,
placed before his plato by his duti
ful little wife. Two or three gulps
from his coffee and he vouchsafed tho
Information that It looked as If coul
would be 520 a ton this winter.
"Isn't that terrible, dear?"
Thin seemed only to Incense her hus
band who wns not to bo consoled ouo
atom, nnd hnd a distinct grouch this
morning which wuh growing moro
acute each minute.
Just then Virginia placed before
him, some exceptionally good pork
chops nnd hot biscuits, which appealed
as usunl to his masculine appetite nnd
ho replied:
"Well, nnywny, I picked tho best
little cook In the world, and we'll
show them we can get aloug."
After Robert had left, Virginia
donned her most business-like serge
suit and sport hat, locked the little
apartment nnd started downtown.
-
"I'll take a look myself," said the
portly gentlemnn, who hnd sauntered
Into tho specious employment agency.
"But, we don't permit that, wo always
refer to our card Index for qualifica
tions of the aspirant," demurred tho
austere-looking clerk nt the desk.
"My dear madam, I wish a secretary
and am willing to pay her a reasonable
salary to, cope with the high cost of
living for doing my work. I do not
wnnt any whitewashed noses nround
me. I'll Just take a glance around.
Um-um, will you kindly let mo Inter
view the young miss In the dark suit?"
Virginia was summoned and after
the perfunctory conversation was
hired to start In work on the mor
row. . . , Could she believe It?
Could she believe It? Hours ton to
three, not very much work, lie hud
told her, and such a salary l She
walked us If on thin air to the little
"love nest."
The duties of the little household
were completed the next morning nnd
Virginia started to her downtown of
lice, which proved to be a very beau
tiful one, the work most Interesting,
while Mr. Cameron he, found to bo
the best ami most 'considerate 'of em
ployers. At the end of the Hist day
each was more than pleased with his
find.
The first week was gone and the
salary placed In the strong box nt
home. Weeks followed weeks' and tho
little pile grew rapidly until one eve
ning Boh seemed partlcuarly grumpy
ami his wife made up her inluil to do
something the next day. After the
customary work was gotten out she
npproached Mr. Cameron and asked
If he could spare her for a few hours
us she had some 'Important shopping
to do.' She was graciously given the
entire .day. "Oo along, my dear, and
don't come back until tomorrow."
Thanking him with her most capti
vating smlla she sallied forth.
A few evenings later Virginia walk
ed to the corner of the street to meet
her husband.
Later they sauntered home and Vir
ginia guilefully led her husband into
the kitchen first. She stepped Into tho
living room nnd soon the strains of a
favorite piece readied Bob's astonish
ed ears.
"A vlctrola, VlrgleV And be fairly
leaped Into the next room.
"Where did It come from, Vlrgle,
tell me?" Hut without waiting for'u'n
answer he said, "And this and tills and
that?" and flnully hetopped short and
gazed at his excited little- wife.
"Don't nsk any questions, but Just
look first," she replied. He saw the
little living room changed so thnt he
hnrdly knew It.
"And that Isn't all, dear, we have
$100 left to get what we both think
best."
Back to the old nrmchulr she led
him, and, faltering nt first, she final
ly told him all about that eventful
day some months ago when he was
blue and she was blue and the whole
world was blue. When she finished
ho was ho quiet she thought lit in hurt.
"Bob, you are not nngry?"
"No, deur, only I realize more nnd
more what a. real pal I have."
Real happiness was theirs, and af
ter trying out all of the records for
the new vlctrola they retired.
A few evenings later Boh wus home
earlier than usual, and almost tripped
In his endeavor to reach Virginia and
give her u tremendous hug.
"Halloo, dear, the old adage Is true.
'Good luck never comes alone.' Tho
old gent gave me n private Interview
In the ofllce today, and next week I
sturt on the 'outside game"; Just what
I've been wanting to get u chance at
for some time. Said he wan watching
Glbbs and me for over Hired months,
nnd finally picked me. He added that
u substantial raise would accompany
the chnnge, with commission on the
side. Isn't Hint bully?"
The smile on her face wns answer
enough. He look her In his arms, ami
said ;
"Of nil the good things In this life
What n there better than a good
wife."
