When the widow Collville received
. legacy Of $4,000 she sat down and
did some serious thinking. She had
been widow for five years. but was
one OF the overlooked. That Is, be-
cause she had been left in poor cir
cumstances, she had not been sought
by any Of the numerous widowers as
a wife, The time had now come when
she would be.
Mrs. Collville had had plenty OF
time during her widowhood to store
her mind. She had run to romance.
instead Of cook books and family al
manacs.
The widow didn't say to herself
that she wouldn't marry again. but
she said that If she did 1t would be
a hero. A hero might be slow In COM
ing along, but she had plenty OF time
to wait.
1t wasn't fortnight after the news
OF that legacy got around that Dea-
con Hindman made an afternoon call
on Mrs. Colville. He was all dressed
up and had his boots creased For
1--we years he had simply nodded to
her when they met. For three years
he had been looking for a second wife
looking right over her head and
beyond. And now he entered her
house with a bland smile on his face,
and he gave her hand a hearty
squeeze. and without saying a word
about the cash he COMMUNICATED her
on looking younger and many other
things.
The deacon had a home, he said.
1t was now a desolate home, because
there was no wife there. Let bright
star step In there to cook, sweep,
bake. make the beds. put up the fall
pickles and be a mother to the five
children with unwashed faces, and his
house would be paradise on earth.
Would the widow seize the golden op-
oortunity? The deacon held out his
arms, but the widow didn't see them.
Instead she continued to sit on a
cane-seat chair six feet away while
she replied:
Deacon, l feel that you have hon
ored me, but l cannot give you my
heart. If marry again it must be to
a hero"
DO you mean the fellow who walks
the tightrope at the circus?" he asked.
