Breaking 1t Gently.

A man who had literary aspirations
but lacked the literary instinct, once
wrote a story and took it to the editor
of a magazine. II want you to read II
over carefully" he said. ITS intended
for satire, and, if do say 1t myself,
/ think it's pretty clever"
The editor took the manuscript and
began to read it. A page or two suf-
feed to show him its utter hopelessness
for purposes of publication, but he hes
itated to crush budding author and
proceeded to temporize.
"Why, Mr.-er-Simmons," he said,
"your story has some crudities, Of
course, and-er"-
"It's better as you get into it," inter
rupted the other complacently. "Its
like some Of Thackeray's stories"
~Ah, yes, Mr.. Simmons; you do re-
mind me somewhat Of Thackeray."
'DO ~ inquired the caller.
Yes" rejoined the editor. handing

Sparville was grateful to Henry Girls
void. Not since the engagement of
McMahon's MINISTRIES two months be-
fore had the town had so much to
talk about.
Nine years ago Hank GrisEold had
gone to the city in his Sunday pepper
and salt suit, with cowhide boots and
cloth cap to complete his costume.
Now he had returned Henry Griswold,
and to the splendors of well tailored
clothes he added the magnificence of
a fur lined coat and shoes and hat
equally glossy.
Sparville was accustomed to fur
coats, but with the fur outside, while
Henry showed only the cloth. Patent
leather shoes, too, every day in the
week We're regarded with awe not un-
mixed with envy.
Even more interesting was the evil
dent interest Griswold displayed in
Nellie Morrison. They had been sweet
hearts in the old school days and had
kept up correspondence, a fact dis
seminated by the postmaster, but it
was evident that Griswold had come
home with the intention of cutting out
Ben Pierce, who escorted Nell home
from church Sunday evenings and 9th
erwise gave evidence of ultimate seri-
GUS intentions.
Public sentiment was largely in IA
vor Of Ben. Had Sparville been so
frivolously minded as to indulge in
betting the odds would have been
about three to one in his favor, for
Henry had seemed to lose interest in
skating and coasting and other winter
sports in which Sparville delighted.
He visited the pond and the coasting
hill, but merely as a spectator, and at
such times Nell, fully conscious that
the exercise brought stronger glow
to her cheeks and an added sparkle
to her eyes. was most inclined to hec.
tor him.
Griswold ascribed her treatment to a
desire to display her powers of CO.

There was just one chance for him.
self, and, throwing off his coat, he
caught up the pointer that Jimmie
Sweeney had just brought up to the top
! of the hill
At the foot of the field was a place
where two lengths of the fence had
fallen in, and there were two or three
similar breaks where he stood 1t was
the work of an instant to step through
one of these and throw himself face
downward upon the sled.
Steering with both hands and feet
Griswold shot down the steep declivity.
1t was several years since he had been
on a sled, but it all came back to him,
and with skill that was the talk of
the hin for the remainder of the season
he steered his flying sled in and out be-
tween the stumps. shaving the bark
here and lodging a trunk there just as
a fractured skull seemed imminent
1t took but few seconds to accom-
plish the journey, but to Griswold it
seemed years before he shot through
the opening of the fence and with a
last terrific effort swung himself into
the road
Just ahead were the smart gray jack
ct and saucy little hat that he was pur-
suing, and as he shot past he caught
the runner of Nell's sled.
"'Who catches may keep" he quot
ed as he steered the two sleds into the
softer snow beside the road to permit
Ben to pass them.
How did you do it?' demanded Nell
wonderingly.
Did you think it would be Benz he
countered. The girl shook her head.
Il wanted to see if you would make
an effort" she explained shyly. "All
the way down l heard Ben shouting,
and was afraid that he was alone"
"He was" explained Griswold II
came the short way"
Nell looked at the runner marks
where Griswold had come through the
break in the fence and then at the
stump dotted hill.
"You came straight down" she
gasped
ut was the only way" he said quiet
ly. Ben already had lead on the
road, and | knew that l should have
to take the short cut In order to beat
him"
Nell looked him over sternly. The
thin leather of his shoes was cut and
torn. and here and there was a rent in
his clothing where he had struck
tree. The gloves hung in shreds from
the scratched hands, and his necktie
waved under his left ear.
You go back and get your coat" she
commanded, land then Wen go home
and tell mother and Harry. I'm awful
ly glad that you win," she added as he
turned away to obey the command. II
didn't think you would, but l never
dreamed you would come the short
way. No one has dared before"
"No one else had you at the end of
the slide," he explained, with happy
laugh, as she slipped her hand in his
and they started up the hill after his
coat.

second week, he made formal proposal

at her In dismay.

ciOusly, seeing his bewilderment. II
like you, Harry, but you are 50 differ
ent now. When YOU were boy there
was no one who could beat you In a
skating race, and you used to go down
Beeman's hill faster than any Of the
others. Now you're afraid to coast"
''I'm not afraid" denied Grlswold.
Il don't want to; that's all. / have
found other amusementS"
Nell smiled and changed the subject,
and Griswold went home feeling miser-
able He loved Nell, and this refusal
was blow to his heart and his pride.
1t was Ben who tugged NelPs sled
up Beeman's hill the following after
noon and found Griswold gloomily re-
garGNng the coasters. The hill swung
In rough half circle down the steep
declivity. Usually the roadway was
beaten into glare of ice by the coast
ers, for 1t was the only good coasting
place in the neighborhood.
From the brow of the hill the entire
road coHd De observed. All summer
Henry Beeman had been cutting the
thick growth of pines which had cover
ed the hillside, and now only a broad
expanse of glistening snow crust dotted
with the pine stumps remained.
1t was pretty spectacle, and Girls
void enjoyed 1t in spite of the evident
favor with which Nell regarded Ben,
who accompanied her In her dashes
downhill and the walk back again,
with Nell walking by his side. Nomi-
nally Nell's sled was her sisters, and
Ben's was supposed to be the property
OF his little cousin, but those two
youngsters had little use of their pos
sessions.
The sun was dipping toward the hills
on the other side of the valley and
most OF the coasters had gone home
when Nell settled herself for her last
ride. Ben had stopped to tie his shoe
laces, and Nell looked over her shout
der.
"Who catches may keep" she called
as the sled gathered momentum. Ben
sprang to his feet and ran for his sled,
throwing himself upon 1t and starting
of at a terrific pace.
Griswold gave one glance at the ny.
