When / FIRST came into the noun
tains of West Virginia TO look after the
coal interests Of our company, I board.
ed st little tavern in the country
town presided over by good looking
woman Of a2 who, as had understood, /,
was widow. She was keener witted
and more entertaining than the aver
age mountain woman and rather en-
joyed talking to her. One evening,
after I had been her guest about three
weeks, I found myself alone With her
on the porch Of the house, and we
chatted along very pleasantly about
men and women and life generally.
;'Ain't you marriedp" she asked in
! response to something ! had said lead
ing up TO such question.
ooh. no." I laughed. "I'm an
unhappy old bachelor"
"Well, you oughtsr be ashamed Nv
yerself," she said with spirit.
II am," I assented. "But how is
man to be otherwise when the women
! Won't do their shaFe?"
"Bue they will ef they ever glib the
chance" she contended.
cts easy enough FOR you to say
that I said, ''beoause you felt that
way toward your husband when he
asked you"
"My husband!" she almost shouted.
II iiau't got no husband, nor never
did have"
"Why-wIy," stammored, Gun
derstood you were widow"
"Well, I amt"
"Do you mean to tell me that as
good looking @oman as you arc is an
old maid yet?''
She hcsitated moment before an.
swering.
I'm course am" she said, and her
voice softened, ;'but l hain't no objec-
tion to bein' q married woman"
Goodness knows how got out Of
it and still remained "star boardcr, +"
but did, and I didn't sis out on that
porch in the evening any more, either.
