IN CUPID'S
GUISE.
By JOHN BARTON OXFORD.
Copyright, 1908. by Associated Lit
erary Press.

The afternoon session at the dis
pensary was over. The last waiting
patient In the long line which had
filed stolidly by the desk for the past
two hours had groaned out a recital of
her many ailments, received her por-
ton of advice and a bottle of medi-
cine and departed homeward, calling
upon numerous saints to shower their
blessings upon the weary, white coated
young physician behind the rail.
1t was a blistering day. Outside the
pavement baked In the p~itiless sun,
and within the little room the air was
hot and lifeless.
As the street door closed with a
bang DIR. Trainor slammed down the
cover of his desk, elevated his feet
luxuriously upon 1t and, pulling out
his cigarette case, began to smoke
with deep inhalations of content.
"Now, then, Sammy, old boy" he
called to his assistant, who was ar
ranging the bottles In the laboratory
beyond, lets wash up and go uptown
for dinner. I'm starved. Lord, what

for n day. Hustle up now. old chap
We need something for the inner man,
both of us, and a bit of music while
we feast to cheer us up and take the
edge off these walls we've been listen
ing to all day"
In the laboratory the assistant quit
ted the endless rows of bottles with no
reluctance whatever. He threw off his
coat, grinning expansively.
That's me-" he agreed heartily. "Us

From the room beyond came the
sound of running water and a mighty

She Liked Variety.

She is a very nice little girl, and yet
she has an imagination so vivid that
people can't help wondering once In
awhile what is going to become of 1t.
The little girl can and does tell the
most marvellous tales, and when she is
reproved she is entirely complacent
and cannot see that her effective inyen.
tons are anything more than Jokes.
One of these she told to an interested
neighbor at whose house she called
frequently.
"How is your mamma, dearT' asked
the neighbor morning when the
little girl made her appearance.
"She is very SICK" answered the lit
tie girl earnestly. NELLY cher sister
and 1 were up with her all night. We
called the Doctor" But when the kind
neighbor went in haste to see her sick
friend she found her In every respect
as well as ever.

No Wonder She Didn't Know.

Before he had been in the ear three
minutes most of the women passengers
and some of the men were explaining
to their neighbors what they would dc
with the little imp if he belonged to
them. Spanking was the popular rem
edy, and if that boy had received then
and there all the paddlings that his
critics were aching to administer he
surely would have been well blistered.
To the general babel of advice and
fault finding, however, there was one
woman who contributed nothing. She
was a gentle, gray haired body who re
manned unruffled in the midst of the
small tempest raging.

could hardly have been mistaken for

Little Miss Pencil held on to the

Tim led the way down the %scorching
sidewalks, turned into a narrow side
street and from there into a yet mar
sower court. With Trainor at his heels
he entered the door Of a t~umbledown
tenement and battered up the rickety
stairs.
At the top Of the third fight they
entered a doorway, to be greeted by a
portly woman with red face and anx-
ious eyes.
"And is it you, doctorT" she cried In
relief. "Sure, she's hurried bad. Come
into the front room."
She ushered him into the room be-
yond, where on an old haircloth sofa
a very pretty girl was propped on pill
lows. Her eyes widened at the sight
of the visitor.
Billy" she said. 'how did you get
here?"
DR.. Trainor was a man of considera-
Bile decision. He turned to the stout
woman, and his manner brooked no
delay.

Tim. hustle back to the dispensary be-
fore DIR. Martin leaves and tell him to

The two departed on their errands.
and Trainor turned to the girl on the
sofa.
TITS nothing-really nothing" she
said hastily. 81 slipped on the landing

"Helen," said Trainor severely, don't
tell me what 1t is or what it isn't.
That ankle is badly sprained. I'm all
out of patience with this settlement

"Oh, indeed?" she challenged.
You certainly have" said he. "There
are plenty of others better fitted phys
ically than you are to carry 1t on.
You're to take a rest now. And also
you're to have filed this prescription

He tore a prescription blank from
the pad in his case and scrubbed away
for a moment. Then he passed 1t to
the girl.

she, 'but-but'-
"But what3" said he.
She was silent. Trainor reached over
and took one of her hands jim his own.
Helen, dear, don't be foolish" he
said gently. II need you far more

and held 1t while she stepped ashore.

She shook the wrinkles from her

vestigate the n deserted hut that
graced the tiny island of sand and
rushes.

took their lunch basket from the boat
and followed moodily.
Miss Pencil turned ~aggrievedly.
"You have spoiled your lovely meta
phor. Dogs have ne souls"
"Neither-so some philosopher has
argued-have women" he retorted.
"That philosopher had probably just
been turned down emphatically by the
lady he wrote about. But cen though
soulless l have an appetite. Would
you mind If we unpacked the basket
and ate right here and now?"
Conway set the basket on the sand
and took out his pipe, while she spread
the napkins. II don't want anything

wood vigorously.
"But, Robert, you must brace the
inner man. Don't you remember you
have an ordeal before you tonight? l
should think it would take some nerve
to propose to Miss Stubs. She's So

She hastily swallowed her bit Of
sandwich.
"If you want to call me little or

to you expressing your opinion, but 1
won't listen to anything so rude as
skinny" She shook the crumbs
from her lap and walked toward the
waters edge.
'Oh, Robert, the boats untiedF' she
walled.
"Thunderr' said Conway, springing
to his feet.
They watched it helplessly as it
drifted. The girl at last sat down de-
jectedly.
'Pll not get back In time to dress
for the dance"
you'll be lucky If any n comes by
in time to take us back tonight at all"
he said forebodingly.
"1n all my twenty-five years I've
never met with such vexation." She
dug the sand into holes with the heel
of her small tan shoe.
"You at least have some cause for
gratitude. It's not everybody that
achieves such a ripe old age by calm
ly peaceful paths"
Little Miss Pencil eyed hin miser-
ably. "But 1t will soon be getting
dark, Robert, and l I'M afraid out here
all alone"
Seems that I should count for some
