BANTA & SON 615 Pine Street, North Platte, Nebraska As Plain as an Old Shoe By MARTHA MACWILLIAMS m , 1912, by McCIure Nwpaper BndlciU. "This Is the very longest dnyl" Clare all but moaned. "With tho very shortest night to make up for It," sensible Jane re torted. Clare pouted: "I know that, Miss Sniarty but you know I nm not talking about real time; I'm just so tired waiting for tomorrow, and the train, and the Springs afterward. How can you sit there stock still? You've never been anywhere, either." "Sure enough I haven't but fidget ing won't get me there a minute ear lier nnd It may get me there cross ! .tHn.l .,.! ..,1 ...! C...,, 11. nt 1 iiiiu luuu uiiu itu'ujuu nun. iuv.n ul sleep ," Jane began. Oil, do hush, old Coramonsense 1" Clare flung bnck, pouting. "You have no business to be always so right. I almost hate you." ' "Hate me all you like If It does you any good," Jane returned tran- qullly. "Asleep It can't hurt me and 1 I'm going sound asleep In Just about two minutes." i Clare wanted to pinch her equable cousin. Herself a bit of human quick silver, she really resented Jnno's even temper nnd lack of nerves. It wns well sho lacked nerves otherwise Grand- mn BInghnm's open favoritism would I have made her unhappy. Clare could do no wrong In Grandma's partial eyes. Jane, Indeed, often got scoldings, the backwash of Irritation over Clare's smnll transgression which could not be visited upon Its rightful object. Orphans, a bare week apart In age, they had como to womanhood neither friends nor enemies. Clare was far and away the better looking, Jane the more Intelligent, capable and obedient also something richer. There was the rub the home would bo hers when grandma no longer need-1 ed It, also fine silver, china, rugs and so on, that had been her mother's when sho wns brought there a bride. Natur-1 ally grandma pinched herself, nnd would hnve pinched the household for Clare's benefit had not Jane's guardian put his foot down on such scnntlng. A curmudgeonly old bachelor lawyer, j grandma rated him, becnuso forsooth ho did not melt at the blandishments of her pet. Yet he had not boen il liberal masters he had engnged for Jane gnve free service to Clnre. When grandma brought the girls to town, for Christmas and Easter shopping, Mr. Joyce behaved handsomely to everybody, buying theater tickets, pay-1 Ing for dinners and other incidentals quite ns though ho really liked it. 1 More, this Journey was at his In stance, and more than half at Jane's cost. As well pny for grandma ns nny other chaperon, said Joyce, adding thnt Clara need not spend extrava gantly she would not require tin ex tra room, and there would be spnee enough for her In his big limousine. Clare was enchanted, especially after , grandma bought her two new evening gow;ns hnndsomer than anything Jane owned. "I ought to come home engaged to a millionaire," she said over her shoul der, looking at herself In the big blur red plerglass. "If I do be sure yon will never see me here after the wed ding. I hnte this frowsy, mussy plnce, stuck full of samplers, and portraits llko signboards. Granny Is tho only thing I'd take away with me If I could." Jane laughed provoklngly. Spring water somehow docs not understand quicksilver. Some ways she was gen erous as sunshine, In others too just to be over merciful. Free of envy or Jealousy,1 she could not In the least understand Clare, who ran on resent fully: "You don't care for things as I do because you know you can have them If you choose ns I can't." "Never mind, Clarlssy," Jane said smiling. "You don't havo to give house room to any of tho horrors hero. I'll give you a brand-new weddnlg present. What shall It be a diamond ring or pearl earring?" "If only you'd give them both now without waiting," Clnro breathed fer vently. "They'd help so. You know money lovos money." "I thought marrlngo was a matter of men loving women nnd getting love back again," Jane said nlmost sharply. "But If you mean what you say you shall havo your gew-gaws." . Tho morrow camo at last. A Httlo later tho limousine went. In result Becchwood Springs had a mild sensa tion, made manifest In tho flesh of the Lcslto cousins. One was, It was whis pered, quite, qulto rich; ono mighty ensy to look at, said youth masculine. Also to danco and flirt with, but never beyond decorum thero wns alwnys a black satin dragon with high lights on gold spectacles and point lace looming In tho background. Somehow Insidi ously rumor crept nbout that tho beau ty was Ukcwlso tho heiress. Then Jane, who had been n hopeful prospect, found herself rather out of things, ex cept with plain elderly folks who liked her clear, preclso speech, her pretty deferenco to age. Sho danced, of course, moderately, walked a bit, took motor rides, but always In tho family vehicle, whose handsome solidity was equal to a com mercial railng. Sho was kindly regard ful of grandmam, though everyone saw how tho land lay thero. Indeed thero .was not a dissenting voice when old Major Anstey said fervently, watchlug her: "A real girl, nice as they make i thero, and the only ono In all this crowd" Hie major tru somebody after Just what fashion nobody know. Light broke when a youngster with all the earmarks of great riches fell upon the old gentleman, hugged him, thumped his back and cried: "Old foxl Smoked out at last I Tell mo what deviltry you're brewing hero In the wilds." "None nt all," said the major with twinkling eyes. "Fact Is, Ned, my boy, I'm up to my eyes In a plan to Join the Salvntlon Army." After which the pair locked hands and laughed loud and long. Inside a week Beechwood Springs revolved about E. Forsythe Anstey. He had brought two cars, a valet chauffeur, and drove himself like an angel or a demon, according to the reporter. He was grossly but affection ately Impertinent to the major, who, It camo to be understood, was less n man of mystery than of millions. When the fact seeped out Jane ceased from playing around with him found other partners for bridge and other guests for -seats in the limousine. Claro, might have tried to make up for her cousin's defection If she had not been so hot on the trail of E. Forsythe. "He Is exactly what I'm looking for," she confided to Jane. "And I know ho thinks I'm great fun told me so out right. If only I had somo new clothes everybody here knows all 1 have" pausing with half defiant appeal In her eyes. Jnne nodded softly. "Ono frock at least," she promised. Clare looked down, saying shamed ly: "I hate begging. Be sure, though, I'll pay you when I can." "There Is no debtr" Jane answered. "But, Clare, please stop throwing yourself so openly at his head. Remem ber tho nnme Is mlno snme as yours." "That's the way you spoil every thing," Clare shot back through angry tears, running away. But she clutched Jane's check eagerly an hour later, and drove away smiling In a fool's paradise to select that which she felt sure would clinch her victory." As she went out of sight Major An stey said bowing over grandma's hand: "Madam, may I speak to you of a private matter? Outside? I had rather not be overheard." Flattered, yet beaming, grandma went outside. She beamed still more when she understood that the private matter was the asking of her grand daughter's band In marriage for his nephew, Edward Forsythe. A good boy In spite of the froth on top, said tho major a wife of the right sort would be not merely his making, but his salvation. Hadn't courago to speak for himself unless the Ice was broken a bit; said he had never been the least afraid of a girl until ho saw Miss Jane " There grandma fainted opportunely. Jane came rnshlng to help her, so the mnjor had n chance to explain. What she said In answer Is Immaterial In view of the fact thnt she has been for several years past Mrs. Edward For sythe Anstey, yet Is still as plain as an old shoe.
