TIIKHEPUBLlOAjN , OUSTER COUNTY , NEBRASKA \ 1 O O PnO O . - < Q a. f A PLAN OF CAMPAIGN ( Pretty girl In elaborate negllgoo Edited before a silvoi-littered dre3slng table doing her hair. Whenever her emotions overpower her she uncon sciously brushes harder , slowing down In the more meditative moments These are her thoughts. ) "It is simply atrocious and unforgiv able ! I've considered the subject very carefully , very carelully Indeed , from all sides , because I believe In always being Just , even when you are the In jured person. Why , I've considered It fully 15 minutes and I believe my 'head aches from the Intensity with which I've devoted myself to It , and headaches make wrinkles and I'm not going to be such a geese as to start wrinkles In my face because of a man like Winchester Henderson ! Not I ! "I'm not going to glvo him the sat isfaction of knowing that anything ho could do would affect mo In the least. That's the trouble how to snow proper resentment that will bo notice able even to a stupid person like him- nolf without giving him ground to flatter - > ter himself that ho has disturbed me. I "Men are so frightfully conceited. ' [ They think all they have to do Is look. at a girl and she Is simply overcome with gratitude at being noticed And Winchester Is as bud as the rest , even If he does cover up with that air of retiring modcfaty It really is deceit ful when jou come to think about It. "If ho thinks for one minute that I'm going to stand his forgetting an engagement \sith mo ho 1-3 very much mistaken ! What if the head of his firm did come to town and keep him and what If his sister did telephone that the baby had the measles and her husband was away and she was scared to death ? Little things like that shouldn't entliolj upset his mental processes. I wonder that ho dared put such feeble excuses on paper ! "I suppose.ho fancies that \\hon ho calls to night , as ho says ho will. I'll receive him as sweetly as usual. Well , I'll fool him ! "It won't do , however , to go In with a tragedy queen air. I think on the whole I'll bo downstairs when ho comes , and reading. A person can bo almost Insultingly rude and absent minded looking up fiom n book with an Instant's fat away stare as though cho couldn't qulto plaro the caller who had Just entered. Her subsequent elaborate sweetness doesn't remove the shock ho has of feeling there was even an instant's time when she could forget him Hut then J'd have to con tlnuo being sweet and that wouldn't do' "It might ho better to como down * stairs with m\ chin not tip In the air , QJ " Afc J rt -CD QJ r H v"H v"Hu & 4 > * ' \ ? ; . u * ' A-v.V. ! , ! * , CO 2u H rt - QJ but potrectly level , greet mm witn elaborate politeness and keep the con versation on the most peifunctory so ciety plane just as though ho was some one I didn't In the least care about , but was going to bo courteous to If I died for It. And bo so nice to him that ho wouldn't have a single thing to got off untied at and yet keep a regular stone wall between us ! It would take clover handling , but I could manage that kind of situation very nicely. There's nothing that will so balllc and Infuriate a man ns that ! "On the whole , that's too much effort - ' fort to waste on Winchester. It doesn't matter suftlclently to cause me to ex ert myself as much as that. I might act Just plain boicd , reply absentmindedly - mindedly and when ho tried to repeat his excuses say carelessly , almost as though I were amused at his thinking anything ho did affected mo , that It didn't matter in the least , that other things which were more Important had quite swept It from my mind. "I could say , 'Oh , did wo have an en gagement that night'1 and tlioii laugh kind of helplessly and murmur some thing about how shockingly I forget things. That would beat Into his brain the novel Idea that inayhn ho wasn't so Important after all ! "I'd just like to stir him up a bit and make him humble and apologetic. I suppose he's too devoured by conceit to have anything llko that affect him , though. He knows there arc plenty more ulrls on earth besides mo silly ones , too , wno wouin op outiuo to have him come-to see them. "You t pally can't blame the men whpn giils are so foolish. Annette Hillings , now would simply bre.'ik her nc'ck if she thought theio was a fhanco to gpt Winchester away from mp , and goodness knows when a girl llko that starts In it is all up so far as any other gltl is concerned. Men are such Idiots that way they always run after a girl who Hatters and cajoles them and takes such an Inter est In them and their careers ! Ouch ! My , how I pulled my hair ! "I expect the real clover , subtle poison would let even her desire for tovcngo go if she wanted to outwit a Ival who was lying In wait. It would ho my cue to receive Winchester as usual , listen sweetly , and forgive with gcnoinus magnanimity , thus putting him In my debt. He'd bo entranced with my lovely nature , because ho really crawls In that note. Ho did seem to ho dreadfully ashamed of himself. Maybe ho Is ! Tl c mova I think about It the more I bellcvo If I want to finish Annette's chaiu'i'si forever and over and really wlpo her off the map It's up to mo to do the grand act of forgiveness ! I'll wear my pink dress , too ! Annette looks a flight In pink ! "Not that I care In the least about Winchester but really , It Is wicked to cherish revenge !
