US>, 1923, by McClure I- ;w»iiaper
“Hello, little buy; what’s your
name?” Shirley straightened from
her weeding and looked at the lad
standing by the fence.
“Wiliam Theodore Curtis, Jr.,” was
the dignified response.
“I suppose you must belong to the
folks just moved in the big house on
the hill, William?”
“You needn’t call me William If you
don’t want to,” said the boy, taking
a jack-knife out of his pocket and
whittling a willow stick he was hold
ing. “Nobody calls me that except
the teacher. I’m Billy to most folks.”
"Well, then, Billy”—Shirley came
nearer nearer and looked Intently at
the small face with Its freckle-pow
dered nose—“I wonder whether you
have anyone related to you named
Thomas Curtis?”
“You probably mean my Uncle Tom.
He’s down in Panama.” Billy, with
his whistle nearly completed, did not
notice the color that came with a
blinding rush to Shirley’s face. “Do
you know,” he continued, “what a
honeymoon couple is?”
For a moment Shirley was taken
blankly by surprise.
“Well,” she answered slowly, “a
honeymoon couple are two very happy
people, generally, on their wedding
trip. What made you ask that, Billy?”
“Oh, nothing much. I was just kind
of wondering. When Dad read Uncle
Tom’s last letter he laughed and said
he didn’t know what we’d do with a
honeymoon couple. You know, Uncle
Tom’s coming home in a week or
two.”
Shirley looked as if she had received
a blow. Billy, bidding her good-by,
started down the road, his whistle
sounding shrilly.
Such a slight misunderstanding had*
sent Tom Curtis to Panama and lost
to her all chances of happiness.
For Shirley the following weeks
were trying ones. She and Billy be
came fast friends, but she dreaded
the day when he would tell her Tom
and his bride had arrived. William
Theodore Curtis, Jr., in his character
istic manner, abruptly ended her sus
pense late one afternoon as he met her
returning from the post office.
“They’ve come,” he shouted, when
he was within calling distance.
“They’re what you said they were and
dad says she’s pretty nifty/'
Shirley stopped short and sat down
rather quickly on a convenient rock.
“Well, Billy,” she said, trying to re
gain her composure, “I suppose you
won’t have time to tish for a while.”
“Oh, yes, I will,” exclaimed the lad
quickly. “All they want to do is to sit
In the hammock or dance to the old
phonograph. They don’t pay any at
tention to me. They did say,” he add
ed, “that we might go on a picnic next
Saturday in our car. I wish you might
come, too.”
Shirley smiled rather forlornly. “It’s
my own fault that I can’t,” she said,
whimsically.
Late Saturday, walking through the
Village, she passed a group of people
falkipg excitedly, Fragments of their
conversation made her pause suddenly.
“The young married couple were taken
to the hospital, terribly hurt.” “Yes.
Curtis’ big car—they’d been on a pic
nic somewhere.”
r' Shirley hurried on. Her whole being
seemed permeated with the tragedy
that had entered her life. Down the
road came the hum of a big car. It
came up, hut did not pass her, and
somebody Jumped out and clasped her
in a pair of strong arms. She looked
•lip with a white face and clutched
j tlfeir owner convulsively.
Oh, loin, Tom! was q!| die cuhiUJ
say. Everything had been clean-8 wept
from her mind except the outstanding
fact that he was tl ere. Tom was re
turning the clutch With Interest.
“Shirley,” he sail, “wflnt luck! I’ve
been up to town every day since J
came, doing •regular detective work.
Your house was closed, your folks
gone, and nobody knew where you were
except in the cou- try somewhere fuy
your health.”
To Shirley suddenly came the reason
‘for her run-down state and shuttered
nerves. She trie -.1 to draw herself
away, but !t was useless.
“Tom, you mustn’t. You’re married,
you know. And I thought you and your
little wife w'ere In the hospital.”
Tom sat down on the ru nlng-bonrd
of the car, but he did not let go hla
hold of Shirley. ‘Now, Shirley Dins
more, will you kindly tell me where
your wires are crossed?”
Shirley felt ready to cry when the
realization that all the Joy of meeting
Tom must end at once. "I've Just
heard about the accident today, and
Billy told me you were on your honey
moon," she said.
A light of understanding appeared
on Tom’s face. "Well, Til he Jiggered,”
he said. “Shirley, dkl you think I
could forget like that? My cousin
Dick and his wife came with me on
their honeymoon. Billy probably
didn’t take the trouble to mention any
names. They were in an accident t#
day, but, thank goodness, not so seri
ous as reported.
“Honeymoon!’’ Tom lifted her face,
from which a great shadow had van
ished. “You Just bet I’m going on my
honeymoon—the minute you’ll Join the
party."
Around the front of the car ap
peared William Theodore Ourtls, Jr.
“Uncle Tom, I’ve Just heard what
you said. Once you told me the mooq
was made of greet cheese; now I sup
pose you’ll try to makh me believe It’*
made of honey.’’

1 MODERN DRY CLEANING METHODS
Such as ours—do much more than remove the surface
* dirt and stains. We go right down into the heart of
the fabrick and draw out the embedded “soil” and grit.
IThis fine embedded “soil,” if not removed, gradually
i cuts and rots the texture of the material and shortens
| the life of the garment.
With our kind of dry cleaning—requiring highly de
veloped and exlpensive equipment—you’ll find it very
practical to have your garments dry cleaned regularly—
at least three or four times a year. They’ll look fresher
and better, and besides, will give months of extra wear
—repaying many times the small cost of the service.
