M k By ETHEL MAC CARTY. . 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."
