And you'll come back and marry me
one day?"
Rather"
Here 10 wiped her tears on his coat
sleeves, and throwing a pair Of muscu-
lar young arms round his neck, nearly
throttled him with the yehemence of
her affection.
And that was the last Anthony saw Of

ooh, Mr.. Deane, allow me to Introduce
you to Miss -''
The name was inaudible, and the hos

ing awkwardly at the pretty girl by his
side Where had he seen that face be-
fore, surely it was familiar to him-the
deep hazel eyes, rich complexion and
rudy copper tinted hair. Yet it was i'm
possible-he had never seen anyone half
so lovely before.
Excuse me, but did not quite catch
your name" he said, bending down.
The girl looked up brightly.
My name is Greaves," she said. And

''Deane Anthony Deane." said the
young man, evidently disappointed that
her name gave no clue to her identity

girl. Perhaps you may remember by

shyly as he put his name to several
dances.
A minute later they were whirling
through the dance.
And if he didn't, it was through no
fault of his own. The pretty girl with
the hazel eyes fascinated him to such
an extent, that he had no eyes or ears
for anyone else. He called on her at
her home, where she lived with maid
en- aunt in a pretty West End fiat. He
sent her theater tickets, flowers and
books, and contrived to turn up at ev-

FATHER AND son.
(By NJ. Quad.)

tBY M. (luaQ.)
When Jabez Lee had been a widower
year and a half he Strengthened up in
the cornfield one day and said to his
son Jonah. who was hoeing the next
row on his right:
joiner, folks is sayin' that ought to
git married agin."
Yes, I've heard 'em say so,'' replied
the son.
They say 1 ought to take a second
wife to give my children mother"
continued the father. as he raised his
hoe to chop at weed.
Jonah uttered a sound between a
laugh and a grunt, and it had to be
taken for what it was worth As he
was twenty-four. and the other child
two years older, he probably meant the
sound for a sarcastic laugh. His parent
chose to ignore it, for the moment at
least, and tackled another hill of corn
as he said:
And bein' as folks think 1 ought to
git married again, and bein' / don't
want my children to say they was neg
lected L think I'll drop over and see the
Wilder Spooner this evenin'. They say
she's motherly and a, hard worker, and
of course we know she owns her farm
and is out of debt. Yes, I'll drop over
and kind O. talk up matters a little, and
you may have a new mother before
snow flies
See here. dad" began Jonah in re-
ply, as he flushed white and red and
let the hoe fall from his. hands, but the
cut in with:
You are goin' to thank me, joiner,
and say how happy you will be to see
new mother around the house, but
you can let it go and put all your
strength into the hoe handle"
Jonah wasn't going to do any such
thing. He was going to remark that he
had ''sorter' been counting Widow
months. and warn his father to look in
some other direction, but when he start
ed to utter the words his courage failed
him. Had it been a neighbor he would
have defended his own pretty stoutly,
but although long past his majority
and working as a hired man. there was
moral influence that kept him silent
That evening Jabez Lee creased his
boots and combed his hair and set out
on counting expedition, while Jonah,
who did not dress up at ALL was also
absent from the house a couple of hours,
and reached home only five minutes be-
fore his father. On the next night his
father stayed home and Jonah creased
his boots and went abroad, and no
questions were asked until the next day.
Then, as the pair were walking up to
eat their midday meal in response to
the horn blown by Sarah, the daughter
and housekeeper, the father carelessly
observed:
joiner, I notice that you slip out a
night now and then. 8 You amt goin
courtin'. are you?" 3
NOI GAdCllS, WIS TIE reply.
4 thought not. 1 couldn't think of
anybody around here who'd look at
you twice."
1t got to be a regular thing for Jabez
Lee to call on the Widow Spooner every
Wednesday eveIliFfg, but as TO how his
suit was progressing he kept his own
counsel He did tell Sarah, however,
that some one. hidden behind the fence
threw stones at him on three or four
occasions, and once he caught sight of
All of a sudden. one day he got an idea.
1t was an idea that made him catch his
breath and lift his right fist in the air
and shake it and mutter to himself:

by gun, but that seems to explain
it! If it's so, I'll make joiner tired clear
upsto his chin"
The idea was developed that very
evening. When Jonah changed his
clothes and took a walk. the father fol-
lowed him and kept hot trail to the
Widow Spooner's. The murder was out
and the mystery solved. The parlor
curtains had not been lowered, and the
father crept up and saw that his rival
made himself very much at home on
the very chair he himself had occupied
the night before. Two hours later. as
the son wended his way homewards, a
rock whizzed by his ear and a ghostly
yell from the darkness jumped him six
feet Next day, while his hair was still
curling and he was trying to connect
that yell with his fathers deep bass
voice, the old man suddenly turned on
him with:
"Joner. if you was courtin' a woman
and a sneak of a Teller tried to sneak
himself in what would you do?'
I'D lay for him." promptly replied
the son.
wouldn't your
Il would that"
That's jest my way O. thinkin' Yes,
sir, I'd lay for him and lick him till
he couldn't holler."
''Drat such sneaks."
Father and son looked into each
others eyes for moment. and each
dissembled and tried to look inno-
cent. They understood each other. how
ever and both set their jaws as they
went on with their work That night
was Jonah night to go counting. and
before he left the house he took notice
that his father was missing. He re-
allied at once what that meant. and he
began to plan. The route to the Widow
Spooner's carried him over a bridge
spanning a deep creek near her house

making a deep shadow for many yards.
and Jonah felt that his father would
wait for him there and play some trick.
He therefore removed his boots when he
was vet twenty yards away. and APP
nroached the spot with cat-lilSe tread

father was there in the shadow. He had

was so kind and so encouraging, that
one afternoon Anthony determined to
seal his fate.
They were sitting together in the
drawing room of the pretty flat, Auntie
had. fallen asleep in her chair, and the
opportunity seemed to be an excellent
one. Anthony jumped at it and made
a passionate, though manly offer of his
hand and heart. He told her that he
worshipped her, that he had never
looked at any other woman before, and
that whether she accepted him or not
he should love her as long as he lived,
and a lot more in the same strain

pair of mischievous eyes to his.

this to any other girl?"

him out of the door. Restless and inn
patient, he walked up and down the
room when his eve was attracted by
photograph on the mantleshef. 1t was
the likeness of a child-a little girl
and he was just about to lift it from its
place for a near view, when he heard
a light laugh behind him.
Turning he beheld figure that took
him five years into the past, an untidy'
little figure enveloped in loose Hopping
cape and with a bush of bright hair
upon which faded red Tam-o' -Shanter
perched saucily.

dropping the photograph as he stepped
hastily back

tseying elabora tely. ..Or rather Miss
Greaves to you. Now aren't you asham-

man. regarding her in bewilderment.
And yet 1 always knew your face was

"Oh, that's all very WELL" denurred
Miss Greaves, stepping back. What
about that scene in the summer house
five years ago?"

to marry me?''
We'll, here ! am
"Oh, that won't do" said Miss
Greaves. Il might have accepted YOU as

And that was how Anthony made an
other declaration on the spot, to the
amazement of auntie. who just woke up
in time TO see an effective tableau.-

and pillowcase ready to pull over his
head. He was not only going to play
ghost, but The ghost would do some
humping before Jonah could get away.
In that same deep, dark shadow was a
second party. 1t was an Old lame mule
which had been turned out to get his
living beside the highway, and he had
halted at that spot that night to rumin-
ate and doze. He stood within 20 feet
of the man in ambush, but made 10
noise to give himself away. In fact, ne
took no interest whatever in the pro-
ceedings for time, realizing that he
had passed the age when he should be
mixed up in love adventures, and it was
not until his long ears detected the ap
proach of Jonah that his eyes shook off
sleep and he wondered what was up.
Jonah crept forward foot by foot. and
at last his prescAce was also detected
by the father. With softness of touch
he got ready his ghostly garments, and
was on the point OF dcnnng them and
making a rush, when the old mule
raised his head, tapped his ears and
uttered bray. 1t was bray that
split the air with thunderous sound
and made things shake for rods around.
The awful and unexpected sound stirred
the ghost and Jonah to action at the
same instant. They went over the rail-
ing of the bridge and into the waters
of the creek almost together, and both
yelling the same yell
r
reached the bank together and pulled
themselves out. AS they stood gasping
and dripping they recognized each other,
and the father shouted:
joiner, durn yer hide, but I'll
I'LL"
Dad, you old hypocrite, I'll
I'll" choked the son.
At that moment the widow opened
her door and came down the path. She
had heard the bray and the yells, and

her, with the mule looking down at
them over the railing of the bridge, and

CURED. She laughed loud and long as
they covered before her, and ended the
laugh by remarking:
