He LOST ALL.


Including That winsoms Creature, the
Lovely Birdy Jones.
It was the FIRST perfect day Of the
glad springtime. The warm sun
frightened the country landscape and
the odor Of opening apple blossoms
came upon the laden atmosphere. The
lazy clouds foated dreamily In the sky
overhead, chiefly because they could
not 60 afoot or on the trolley cars.
The rural roads were smooth under
the hammer OF innumerable wheels,
and Clarence Wheeler had stolen
Birdy Jones from her naughty sohs
home for q ramble on his OF tandem
among the Highways Of the townships.
Stopping from their run, they rested
beneath q great oak tree which over
hung a wayside spring. Cowbells tin
killed. In the woodlot below the meadow.
and little lambs with wabbly legs three
sizes too big for them gamboled on the
short green grass. On q broad, Fat
stone that looked down upon the erys-
tai water Birdy spread the lunch they
had carried in the tandem boz, ana
Clarence brought water In a romantic
tin can that he had found hard BY.
The soft winds toyed with the grin
bleached tresscs. which strsamsl over
her face like q photogrsvure picture Of
the west wind to illustrate Longfsl-
lows poems. Her checks flushed with
the viGor OF exercise and robust health
and when the young man approached
her from the spring his whole thought
was centered upon the winsons beauty
Of the divine creature. He sat down
by her side. His soul drank In the
charm OF the picture. She looked up
from the can OF embalmed beef that
she was opening, with a smile Of con-
hdent approval on her young face.
Suddenly her eye kindled and the
rosy flush OF young womanhood gave
way to CHASTITY pallor. Her lip
curled In scorn. Her classic head was
lifted in anger. ''Merciful hsavsn!"
shrieked the young man. Tell me,
dearest girl, what is the matterf" But
she stepped back. and, striking the
attitude that she had learned at the
Soho Amateur Dramatic Club. she
pointed her finger at him and said in
tones that would wither load Of hay:

are sitting in the piel"-Pittsburs
