THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1920. IIOIUC f illoyei - , J li!ite ' 'entior t 1 The Deserted Village. By PHOEBE SHEFFIELD. rnm International Fnttnra Service. Inc. Cynthia Thornton reined in her liorse and looked back at the moun tains. It was Cynthia's first visit to (he west, and every day of the two weeks spent as a guest at Judge uoiucn s rancn naa Been days of un illoyed pleasure unmarred by the test annoyance unless the at- tions of Tackson HnMn th ludge's son could be termed annnv- ince. But Jackson Holden was good to look upon, and what was more, ?ood to be with, and many a girl it the house party envied Cynthia His interest in her. ' Now,. as Cynthia dropped behind he others or the horseback party fackson did likewise, and rode be side her. "Have you decided, Cynthia," he said in a low tone. But Cynthia shook her head. Another Man. "I can't, Jackson," she said ear nestly. "I'd like to say 'yes.' You re so good and so fine, but I can't jet Derry out of my mind. I fear I ihall always love him." "And you say that this man was an embezzler, and instead of stand ing trial he disappeared? That's a bad type for you to care so much for, Cynthia." "But I don't believe he ever took the money. If I had only told him that the night he came to me. I have spent two years regretting it. Even if he did take it I should still care for him." The last part of the sen tence was so low that Jackson failed to catch it. Abruptly Cynthia changed the subject. "Tell me about the deserted vil lage," she said. y j Jackson lau?he. ' Mushroom Village. "Father calls :'t that and quotes rom uuidsnniii wmuevtr he has occasion to ride through it It's just one of those places rather com mon in the west; a place where a Jot of money was sunk and someone paid the piper. This particular town was to have made millions in lum ber, so there is a saw mill, some company buildings, a dozen or more houses and a general store. The watchman lives in the store and is the only human, being in the place. How he stands the loneliness I don't. As the horses made their way through the deserted town, the un tenanted houses the big dormitory with its broken windows the empty dance hall, and the deadly quiet had its effect on the riders. Cynthia guided her horse nearer to Jackson. "How terrible! The loneliness, I mean, and the queer feeling the place gives one." She 1 whispered the words as if fearful to let her voice be heard. "They have a new watchman," Jackson whispered as a big blonde man appeared in the store door way. The other one was an old man Jackspn's sentence was never fin ished, for Cynthia, with a little cry, was off her horse, and running to the man with outstretched Hands. JDerry! Derry 1" she cried, as she mfde her way toward ' him. , But the man looked at her coldly. Picks yrong Man. Madam is mistaken. Mv name is ohn Talbot." he said with finality and turned to greet others of the party. As the girls purchased candy and the men supplied themselves with some really good fishing tackle, Cynthia laughingly explained away her mistake. "I thought he was someone I used to know, but it isn't the same man at all. Funny how we fancy resem blances isn't it?" ' She deceived the girls, but her heightened color and the way hei eyes followed the storekeeper, told volumes to Jackson, so this was the man! The man who had stolen money and who had fled! Jackson looked him over critically, buf could find nothing to criticise and ,n his honest heart hiding his own pain, he wished that he might help them. "Is he the man?" he asked as ht reached Cynthia's side. Cynthia jhook her head, but her eyes were full and Jackson knew. "I'll not tt," he promised, "perhaps something can be done." As they rode away Tackson, under Vttekt of fixing his saddle, again J 'a. . l . . uroppca oacK . wun yninia. n.i rise in the road they both turned and looked back, and neither was sur prised to see the big blonde man WHY?- Do We Speak of a. "Printer's Devil?" Copyright, 1920, by th WbHM , Syndicate, inc.) Anyone who has seen a print er's apprentices, grimy, disheveled and splotched with ink, might well think that the term "print er's devil" arose from the fact that these youngsters appear to ave the faculty of looking like ,they had just emerged trom the bottomless pit. But there was once a real printer's "devil" or at least he admitted the fact in the presence of a number of wit nesses. Aldus Manutius, the celebrated Venetian printer and publisher, who lived during the latter part of the 15th and the early part of the 16th century, had . a small black slave whom the supersti tious believed to be an emissary of Satan. This belief grew so strong that the slave found it was to his interest to foster it in order to secure" favors and license of various kinds. Finally, to offset the rumor and to satisfy the curi ous, the printer publicly an nounced in church: "I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the holy church, have this day made public exposure of the printer's devil. All who think he is not flesh and blood are invited to step up and pinch him." History Joes not relate whether the congregation took advantage of the offer, but the term "print er's, devil" caught the popular fancv of the Venetians, and from Venice, spread over a great part of the worW.

HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations What Ended Dicky'i Talk With Madge. , By the swift change" which came over Dick's face I saw that I had stored in tne duel of unpleasant re criminations in which we were en- gaged. The news that I had been aware of Grace Draper's release from pris on, from the first day of her free dom knowledge which I was shrewdly sure antedated, Lis own had plainly astounded him. While my reference to Allen Drake had made him as furious as even I, in my childish desire to infuriate him, could have wished. His lips twisted into a mocking sneer, while his eyes were lack with the wrath which it is only too easy to arouse in one of Dicky's mercurial temperament. "Oh, so the original white-haired boy is on the jobl" he said, his words clipped in the staccato fashion with which, intense anger al ways invests his utterance. "I'd like tp know who commissioned him as omnipotent protector' of shrink ing, lovely heroine?" Hi stopped and stared at me with a cold, ugly look in his eyes. Dicky's Flaming Anger.' "Strikes me you aren't in any need of my aid or sympathy, no matter what melodramatic dangers you may be doomed to undergo" he said, and every word was heavy with sarcasm. ,"Vhat with the army, as represented by dear old Maje, and th secret diplomatic service in the person of little Al-lee, anyinsigni fuant services which I might be able to render would be entirely super fluous. I'll be sizzled if I don't think poor old Gracie needs look ing after a blamed sight more thai: you do!" I wonder if every married' couple have the diabolical facility for dis- sittir.tr on his doorstep with his head buried in his arms. After dinner at the ranch house that night the company cat about in the great living room,, each one busy with his mail or tin- latest papers Suddenly Judge Holden utterecf an exclamation: , "Well, bless my soul; You re me nber John Hargraves, Jackson? Terrible' thing! He has committed suici ie, leaving a confession of em beztlement of the company's funds two vears ago. He allowed the blame to fall on his brother-in-law. Der ringer Colt. The latter cleared out, knowing that investigation would sjiow Hargraves up and fearing the effect on his (Cole's) sister, who was Hargrave's wife. Must Tell Him. She died not long after, always was delicate. ' Derringer Colt! , I knew the boy's father well. I won der where the chap is?" 1 Across the room, Cynthia's eyes' met Jackson's, and in them was such appeal that he soon left his seat near his father and went to her, "You know what I want to do, Jackson?" she pleaded. "I must go to him' and tell him." Some time later they silently rode through the moonlight. Neither spoke, and as they approached the deserted " village, its loneliness seemed exaggerated in the cold ,light of the moon. The watchman stood up as they dismounted, but Cynthia, as in the morning, ran to him. Oh, Derry, Derry! she . said. "For you Derry, you cannot deny it now. It's all right, it's all right.' Putting her arms around him she clung to him, while he, making no denial as he had done in the morn ing, drew her close to hint. , Hurriedly Jackson explained mat ters to Derrington Colt., Then he left them together, Derry promising to see Cynthia safely home. At the rise in the road, Jackson looked back. In the light of the moon, warm and loving now, he could see the dark' and the blonde heads very close , together. He watched them for a moment, then, with a sharp pain at his heart, he dug his heel gently in the horse's side and went his way, alone. , Street Railway Linemen Wanted We have Jobs open for a number of linemen who would like to live in Denver.

HUSBAND New Phase of of a Wife covering each others weakest points and directing an attack against them, as my husband and I posses. Sub consciously I know that Dicky didn't mean what he had just said, that his angry utterance had been in spired by his old-time jealousy of Allen Drake, and that if I could only guard my own speech, the chance of intense bitterness follow ing this unpleasant altercation would be greatly lessened. But even as , Dicky's smoldering wrath had been fanned into flame by the mention of Allen Drake, so was mine fused into white heat by his reference to Grace Draper. With a complete disregard of all subcon scious warnings, I tried with all the skill developed by our tempestu ous years together to fli:k him on the raw. ' Exhaustion Comes. "I was not aware thaj I had asked you for protection against Miss Draper, or anything else," I said, icily. "Please credit me with enough rudimentary intelligence to realize the futility of any such expectations. And I agree with you that she does need 'looking after' a great deal more than I do. Pray don't let me keep you from the pleasant task. You will padoii me if I rtmind you that I am exceedingly tired, and that the pres ent discussion is neither mtcrestin? nor restful. And if you happen t, see Maj. GranUand, please ask bin to stop at the cottage. I want him tc' see father about this melodramatic performance." 1 It was crude, vulgar, but singularly effective. Dicky whirled toward the door as if my words had been a pro jectile sending him in that direction. But he stopped long enough to give vent to his anger in an explosive im precation. "Take your own cursed messages," he cried, and shut the door behind him with emphasis. Then, womanlike, my anger and my tormented jealousy vented them selves in a torrent of hot, choking sobs and tearS. With my face buried in my father's pillow's, I wtnt wearily up and down the gamut of specula tion as to the course Dicky would pursue toward Grace Draper. After all that had passed would he actually dare to see her and renew the old friendship which had so nearly driven me mad? It was long before my whirlwind emotion spent itself, longer still be fore my exhausted brain would al low my body to move. I lay supine, quiet, a racking headache paying the penalty of my outraged nerves. I think at last I dozed, and when I finally found strength to rise, bathe my face and arrange my disordered hair I found that several , hours had passed since I had asked "my father to change rooms with me. The experience I had undergone had brought back the nervous ex haustion from which I had suffered on the train. Infinitely dreading to meet anyone on the way, conscious only of a desire to reach my own room and bed, I crept with uncertain steps down the hall and knocked feebly at the door of my own room. My. father threw it open, and with a shdbked exclamation put his arms around me. Behind him, to my chagrin, towered the figure of Maj. Grantland. (Continued Tomorrow.)
