FORESTER
Copyright 1905, by Ruby Douglas

Broderick swung off the 4:S5 ex-
press, walked quickly up the steps
leading from the railroad platform and
took his first look at Pineville. Those
who lived in Pineville proper were con-
tent to call it PineviIle. Gerald had
written that they did not live in Pine
vile proper, but in Pineville-by -the-Sea,
otherwise Pineville improper.
All that Broderick saw were pines.
plenty OF them, fat white ribbon of
roadway and a bit of a postofice,
roughly shingled, in the midst of the
nearest clump of pines. He stepped
into the postoffice as the central spot
of civilization. Some one was stamp
ing letters behind the glass Enclosure,
a girl with smooth dark hair. Beatrice
had smooth dark hair.
He watched the girl stamping letters
with interest and wondered why some
one did not tell her to wear her smooth
dark hair in two soft braids around her
head, crown fashion, as Beatrice did.
where do the Vaughans live,
please?' he asked finally, when the
stamping ceased.
"The Yaughans? Oh, Mr.. Gerald
Vaughan and his wife? It's a brown
house down near the shore, with q
wide veranda and funny roof. About
a mile straight down the road"
A wide veranda and a funny roof
That sounded like Gerald He won
dered how Gerald's wife liked it, Bea-
trice was artistic, but not artistically
eccentric. She had horror of things
odd, bizarre, SO called bohemian, and
yet she had married Gerald. And Ger
AIDS brother knew that Gerald was
utterly odd, bizarre and bohemian, so
called.
He walked on down the fat white
ribboned roadway and wondered
whether he would find her like the
girls Gerald had always admired: A
lithesome, limp, blessed damozel type,
with close silky gowns and loose 1oppy
hair. Last summer she had not been
that type He thought of the trim girl
figure holding the rudder Of the Water
Lily that last day She had been more
than the sort Of a girl to fall in love
with. She had been a good fellow, a
stanch friend. And as he watched her
he had stopped rowing, and they had
drifted slowly in the sunset glow that
Hooded the lake while he told her.
There had been no actual engage
laent. He had nothing to reproach her
with. He had not been in a position to
ask her to be his wife then, but he had
thought girl like Beatrice had meant
more by a kiss, hand clasp, few
rague words of understanding, than

Norton was IN Il: and those who wit

10 get out Of Il. In fact tha, was the
whole point Of the comedy Of The Other
Smith"-how Smith is going TO GO, ou; of
the complication with The other Smith
that his good intention TO help a lady in

The gentlemen in the cast were all well
made Up. II we except perhaps mr.
Shiels' moustaehe. In fact where stage
kissing is involved in the play any lady
would be excused for dodging the issue
with tha, rnoustsehe. Mr.. Lee. as the
sane,imonious Smith. was very good in
dress and in acting. Mr.. Bohanan is a
decided acquisition to our amateur the
atrieal forces. In the part assigned him
on very short notice the part Of friend
and adviser Of the other Smith-he made
the most Of his opportunities. We shall
hope 70 sec him again in a better play.

has not intended him for an actor. One
merit Of Monday nights performance was
that there were no tedious waits. Once
