Tor he wns tibout tq phiiigu out Into tho biting cold. It is usually a girl who rousea n joung limn to dccdH heroic or foolish nml It wns n i-artlciilnrly pretty, Huffy girl named llthel who wns losponr. lblo for young C'nttorl)iirt'8 risking hla ponce of mind, to say nothing of his life, out ninong tho pneumonia germs In tho freezing nlr. If Ethel hnd been tho sort of girl who Is content to mnlo magazine cov er pictures or herself before u blazing log flro, or If sho hnd loved to preside over steamy chafing dishes young Cat terburt would have been extremely .happy In her compnny. Hut Kthcl had a mania for outdoor exercise. Appar ently sho never remnlned In tho house If she could crcato an excuse to get out, and young Cnttorburt, being her constant shadow, hnd to go along. Ho didn't daro not to go, for fear some fof his rivals would spring In and usurp 'his place. This winter Kthel had led him n merry pneo. lie hnd not dreamed when he beenmo acquainted with hei ,ln tho summer than sho was going to turn out to bo that kind, for she hnd 'seemed particularly fragile and cling ilnjr". Tho thmgs sho could not Invent tnow' to do out of IoorB could have bceri recited In hnlf a minute. Sunday afternoons when young Catterburt 'would drop lit for -a comfortable, cnll 'Kthel would greet him with energy "I'm so' glad you'vo como,'' Hhe would ,Brty 'Isn't It tho most perfect day for a'Valk! I'm" .simply dy-y-lflg to. get Jout. .'Don't take off your coat, for I'll Jhavd my things on 'In a Jiffy!'.' ' Then Bhe would make young-Cotter Jbtirt tramp nine or 'eleven miles with 'a'1 thousand stinging' needles of cold Jabbing Into his' agonized countenanrr and his feet growing bo numb that hf knew ho would have to excuse hlmsell 'the Instant he got back to her door ahd say. "Beg pardon I'll be bark Just as soon as I get my toes ampu Itated." She would lead htm to the 'arctic shores of the lake and ask him If it dldnt' look lovely, while gallone pt Icy breeze sneaked down his collar. If he asked her to go to the theater She would beg him to take her skat ing Instead. Skating as an amuse ment appealed to young Catterburt nr ,a very special kind of progressive in sanity. i, , ,t , , -This particular evening another skat jlng expedition was on the carpet Young Cattorburt's face wbb so cold when he reached, Ethel's that Jit .couldn't talk. He didn't want to talk, anyhow, for he was feeling consider- lably abused and harried by fate. .Ethel, bo bundled In furs that Bhe (looked like an Eskimo, was full of gay tchnttcr. It added to his resentment. i Finally even she bent her head tc the bitter night wind and plodded on .in silence, which was broken only by the clang of their swinging skates. ' Suddenly Ethel halted. She got around back of young Catterburt, .much as though he were an Inanimate windbreak, and made queer little noises. They sounded like froxen isobs. Wfaaa ahn mitUrf" rhaHaftinpt B-rW lout He couldn't force -hit numb lips (open far enough really to talk, MOHHhr Kthel wept. "It's sls.pl? ihorrld of you! It's all your fault! If a 10 way to treat a girl! H'a brutal 'making me go outdoors la w-w-weather (like th-ththls!" "I make you!" Catterburt stattered, agaast. "You were d-d-dylng to go!" t "HI prob-prob'ly die, all right," Ethel told him Indlanantlv. "hut It's fyour fault! You said once you 1-1-ltked athletic, outdoor girls and I've been jeae aH winter, and I hate it, and I .simply won't any more, and I don't roare If I nerer s-s-see you again! io-o-oh! My eye-lashes are all fr-fr frozen togethgether!" "Ethel," young Catterburt chattered 'avllrtlv "f r.f.fanl nnw Minf T mi, lnu lyou madly. After we get somewhere id drink about two quarts of hot coffee apiece I'm g-g-golng to t-t-tell .you ab-b-bout it!" Chicago Daily (you .laad (News. r One on the Tenor. ; John McCormack, the Irish tenor, told the following story on himself at ,a dinner of the Irish society In New jYork recently: ' "My wife and I had been entertained at dinner by Archbishop Ireland of St. fPaul," said Mr. McCormack. "After "the dinner my wife end I both sang for the prelate, and when Mrs. Mc Cormack had finished the archbishop .turned to me and said: 'You should "be very proud of such a talented wife.' ' "'Indeed I am,' I replied with thuslasm. '"This is the first time be ever made such a confession said my wife, ,looklng at the archbishop with a twin fcle in nor eye. ! " Ho couldn't make a confession In a better place,' remnrked one of tho fcuebts, Indicating the archbishop. "'True,' smiled tho prelate, 'but I cannot forgive him, because he Isn't Wry for It.' " . en "Aren't you a trlllo late?'' asked tho girl when sho met tho young man; at tho door. "1 bollovo 1 nm n little," replied the young man. "A wagon load of coal wan wrockud on the track and that de layed my car lor n tow minutes. Hut I'll go homo n few minutes curlier to night to mnko up ror It.
