Anna Belle's
Dinner
By AGNES G. BROGAN
((E), 1920, Wtrn Nwp.per Union.)
Anna Belle had come to her last
fifteen cents: It was as bnd as that
Anna Belle hnd been homeless, indeed,
since grandma Brown died. The
motherless baby bad been safe in the
old woman's care, nnd when grandma
Brown grew to be in need of constant
care liersolf, Anna Bcllo most grate
fully had given it Now that it bo-
camo necessary for the girl to earn
her livelihood In the big unaccustomed
city, she found bow unfitted- the sim
ple round of home duties left her for
greater tasks. The business world
was a very confusing place In Its ex
actions for 'experience.' Every adver
tisement that Anna Belle sought out
so eagerly, ended with that disappoint
ing requirement
As Anna Belle went, like a small
gray nun in her woolen suit and gray
hat down the walk, sho stooped to
pluck a scarlet bloom to fasten be
neath her own rose cheeks, and con
sidered what would be best to buy
with fifteen cents. One roll and a cup
of coffee, sho decided, would bo all
that she might expect, so Anna Belle
made her way into the Inviting Dutch
Interior of the cafeteria. She care
fully followed tho others with her ap
propriated tray, keeping her face reso
lutely from tho tempting array of food
before her, ono roll and a cup of
coffee was to bo her entlro allotment
Perhaps, sho thought hopefully, tho
scant meat would tako tho edgo at
lenst from her healthy country nppe
tlte; but nlnsl the roll and coffee were
all Insufficient.
It was not until she had finished,
busy with her troubled reflections,
that Anna Belle saw the doughnut
It was a tempting, taunting doughnut,
dellclously light and brown, with an
odor of hidden nutmeg like grandma
Brown's own. Suddenly tears and
memories clouded tho girl's eyes. That
the doughnut was part of a satisfying
meal belonging to an opposite table
companion, Annn Belle did not realize.
She only know all at once, that she
was miserable, penniless and alone.
And then, more to screen her tear-llllcd
oyc.'i than In hope of finding work,
she unfurled tho newspaper she had
bought that morning,, nnd scanned
again It's 'Help Wntited' pages. When
she lowered the paper, her table com
panion had departed, lenvlng a half-
finished mcnl behind him. The dough
nut was gone she noted thnt, but
there was a savory slice of ham, some
glorious browned potatoes, a slice or
two of loinuto on Its lettuco' leaf.
Anna Belle hesitated no longer. The
voice of hunger was more Insistent
than that of convention, why wnste
food which was discarded? She helped
herself rapidly from the opposite dish
es', and rapidly ate, and ns she fin
ished, a. pleawant-fneed young man
slipped Into the recently-vacated chair
opposite and placed hl tray before
htm. There was another doughnut on
thts tray and u steaming! cup of cof
fee, but Anna Belle was tempted no
longer, with hunger appeased, her
bright courage returned.
"Beg pardon," said the young man
quickly, "nnd please don't bo offended
at my question. I see you are Inter
ested In the 'Help Wnntod Female
department. Could It be Just possi
ble that you are looking for employ,
ment? Because If you are," he added
hastily, "our flrm In In urgent need of
an xolllce womnn.
Anna Belle gusped. Then she smil
ed. It was a sad little smllu and she
shook her bead.
"Experienced of course," sho quoted.
"Not necessarily," the young man
answered eagerly. "Fact Is, we are
hoping to train a girl, making her
competent for our own needs, you un
derstand. And we'd be willing if she
was well, worth while," finished the
young man honestly, "to take her on
nnd conch her. Dad has his own Ideas
regarding his own ofllce. Here Is his
card, and If you can drop In there be
tween thrco and four this afternoon,
I'll hnve pnved the way for your com
ing." Anna Belle stared from the engrav
ed card back to the young man's kind
ly face. Tho firm stated was, one
whose advertisement she had yester
day answered nnd been repulsod. But
the young man with a nod was gone,
and Anna Belle still holding the card
and with new'hopo In her henrt, went
out to begin her long walk to the des
ignated ofllce.
And so strange and unexpected Is
life, that when she had reached full
competency In her now accepted work,
and wos giving the greatest satisfac
tion, Anna Belle decided to give that
work up altogether. The Junior part
ner of tho llrm had pcrmmded tier
most happily, that her true place In
life was nt his own side, while the
senior member glndly gave consent
"You may know now, dear," Anna
Belle told her lover, "how very mn -h

HOW THE WORKED CLEAN-UP
CAMPAIGN TO AID FIRE
PREVENTION
The following is a statement issued
by William J. Leonard, State Flro
Marshal of Ohio, In regard to tho
Clcan-Up nnd Paint-Up Campaigns
which is going on nil over tho coun
try: Tho department of Ohio State Fire
Marshal suggests that municipalities
especially small towns bogln "Clean
Up and Paint Up" comlpaigns extra
early this year,
Tho "very nature of tho weather has
made it difficult for householders to
rid tholr premises of tho wlntor's ac
cumulation of old (papers, junk and
other inflammable material.
Spring might burst upon us all at
onco and this would mean not only
that "clean ups" will be duo, but
nlso gardens, painting, etc will have
to bo attended to. If tho "clean up"
part Is out of tho way, tho household
er will bo that much to the good and
can devoto hlmsolf to his outside Work
with profit to himself and his com
munity. This department suggests that as
a preliminary to "clean up" work, this
year, cither the flro chief or some
man or men detailed by him, make
addresses to tho school children on,
for Instance, "This Year's Fires In,
Our Town, and How Thoy Might Have
Been Provented.'" Also the various
womon's organizations could bo In
structed on "Homo Fires and Their
Prevention" nnd "What to Do In CnBe
of Fire in the Home.''
Further, the business and profes
sional men could be brought together
and the question of "How to Make Our
Town Safe," could bo thoroughly dis
cussed with the Fire Chief.
Any successful campaign depends
upon organization and team work and
the municipality that has the best
pulling togethor force produces the
best results.
Somothlng must bo done at once to
curtail America's fearful lire waste,
Tho place to start U with ono's self.
Therefore, If each municipality enlists
Everybody In tho movement, a great
strldo toward safety to llfo and prop
erty has beon taken.
Every day should bo Clean Up day In
America, and right now is the tlmo to
put tho theory into practice.

KEITH'S AUNT
By MILDRED WHITE
(, 1921, WeiUrn N.wipap.r Union.)
I heard of Miss Abigail Persona
when I went to live with Aunt Eme
llno's family. You see, I was left a
poor relation alono in tho world, and,
It was decided that while the question
df my future career was under con
sideration, I should mako myself use
ful in the home of my kinsfolk. And
though lunt Emellne kept u cook, I
found many duties to occupy my
time. My socially ambitious cousins?
Geraldlne nnd Inez, left me few Idle
hours, wjth their sewing and various
errands.
It was understood that Geraldlne
must marry -money, while Inez should
go abroad to study art. So there was
excitement in the house when it was
known that Keith Persons was coming
for a visit.
Keith was the nephew and heir of
tho rich and eccentric Miss Abigail,
and Aunt Emellne and this same Abi
gail had been classmates at college.
Through this old ncqualntanceshlp,
Aunt Emetine's duughter had been
privileged to meet the good-looking
and altogether desirable Keith. But
the letter announcing his coming visit
caused apprehension, for he was bring
ing his Aunt Abigail to spend two
weeks with her old friend.
Never in my llfo have I met ono so
downright disagreeable as sho appear
ed. It was Impossible to be naturally
pleasing before her brusque sarcasms.
For Miss Abigail was awnre that tho
eager attention bestowed upon herself
was not bestowed because of affection,
but In the hopo only of gaining her
favor where Keith., was concerned.
The aggressive old lady exorcised a
great Influence over her good natured
nephew. It was remarkable how he
respected her Judgnlent And when
I mention Keith well, I'd hotter not
mention him too much for bh I came
to see him day by day In my aunt's
home, listening to his kindly voice
nnd seeing the kindly twinkles In hut
deep gray eyes, why It happened that
I grew to think of nothing else but
Keith, though you may be sure that I
tried to banish the foolishness. But
It would not be banished because It
was love love, the unexpected, tho
unreasonable. Was It not tho most
unreasonable thing In tho world for a
poor relation to set her humble little
cap for, a klng7 For Buroly Keith Per
sons was a king, with his traveled and
confident ways and his assured for
tune In tho future. Besides, he was
Qeraldine's king.
Aunt Emellne had decided that. So
evoryone was wonderfully agreeable
to Miss Ablgalt during her vVit, and
her sarcasms nnd unpleasant chuckles
fell on deaf ears. I, alone, so forgot
mysolf as to speak bnck to the old
creature. Ah I hurried to and fro
with tho daintiest chlnn for her serv
lee, she flung out to mo a remark to
tho effect that it was qulto useless for
mo to also gain her favor as Keith
would doubtless And a wife of his own
seeking. Then and there I told Miss
Abigail Persons how I'd scorn money
which had brought to her only suspi
cion of her fellow creatures.
And I kept out of Keith's way more
than, ever after thnt. Then, abruptly
ono day, Miss Persons went away;
her nephew escorted her to her home
city.
I longed to see again the humorous
light that came occasionally to Abi
gail Persons' eyes. And when Aut
nellne told mo that thoy had re
itmi:::.
ceived a letter telling or an opera
tion which had been performed on the
old lady's eyes, and how It was feared
thnt she would lose her sight, I broke
down and cried. It seemed so pitiful
that sho might never realize sunshine
anywhere. Then came the disturbing
telegram.
Keith was bringing his aunt back to
be nursed in the home of her friend.
When she arrived at evening, Keith
half carrying her from the taxi, Miss
Abigail's formerly sharp bright eyes
were hidden by large brown glasses.
Her sight would no doubt come back
later, she told us snappishly. As Miss
Abigail could not see, It was consider
ed unnecessary to put her in the dainty
guest room, so she had my small room
at the end of the. hall. Silken cover
lets also seemed superfluous where
eyes could not see colors, so Geraldlne
brought out the old ones. When the
family was out, I would carry up tho
flowered china that the old lady had
lored, and when she, spilled things on
the forbidden tray cloth, I would wash
it quickly and have it ironed before
Geraldlne knew. Embroidered linens,
Geraldlne said, were not essential.
And when I looked at Keith's picture
In its frame on Miss Abigail's dresser,
I knew that I had loved the twinkles
In her eyes because they were like
Keith's and I kissed his picture before
I realized what I'was'dolng. For Just
one moment I was glad of Miss Abl
gall's blindness. Then her voice
aroused me, nnd I turned to find her
folding her dark glasses away. "So,"
she said gently, "you do truly love my
boy after all. I had to be sure. And
your heart Is right, too a very im
portant fnct little girl. I have seen
much during these days of pretended
blindness."
"You mean ?" I n&ed hewllder-
edly.
"That It was feared I might not bo
able to see after the operation," Mlsa
Abigail replied, "but that I have been
able to do so perfectly. So perfectly,"
she continued, "that I quite approve
the dictate of Keith's heart, and It
went out to you completely, my dear,
Ions ngo."
