The Winslow mail., 1912-08-17

As an orator, she beat her lover, As 8
lawyer summing up case, she had
him all frazzled out He could like 1t
or lump It. He. could go and hang
himself or drown himself, He could
hang around town or go with Or. Cook
on another north pole hunt.
When Mr.. Gaynor was out OF the
house and walked in some direction or
other, be didn't just decide whether
q boiler had burst in the electric light
works or a dago had tried to ham
Iner the end OF stick OF dynamite.
What he did realize, however, was that
all was over between him and the girl
he wanted to jump over precipices to
prove his love for. She had broken
the engagement as a mad woman
might snap a Eastwood brocmstick
across her knee. She had Tilted him
for q liar. She might read Of his
death In the morning papers by fall
ing down q coal-hole, and instead OF
tears she would giggle.
Spare Mr. Gaynor the next four
weeks! He didn't run amuck through
the streets with knife or tomahawk,
and they didn't send him to an insane
asylum, but after a month a doctor
felt his pulse, looked at his tongue
and the whites of his eyes, and told
him to go to the country for a month.
As for Miss Matte Raynor it isn't
to be said whether she went into a
decline or not. Her father and moth.
er decided to go to the country, and
she went with them. -.--.-- .-.'-<-~>
Mr.. Guy Spencer had found that Miss
Rayner was mot at home" to him aft
er. that fateful evening, and In time
he decided to go to the country for
q new crop Of yarns to tell to new
( girl.
The Haynors went to Meadow linn.
Mr.. Gaynor went to- Meadow Inn. Mr..
Spencer went to Meadow Inn. The
Raynors got there at noon. NE Spencer
got there at night. Mr.. Gaynor got
there next morning. 1t was strange
that they all sought the same place.
al At IL o'clock In the forenoon, after
the dew had ceased making bogus dia-
n1onds Of the deWdrops, Miss Matte
strolls in the meadow by her lonesome
to gather daisies. Mr.. Spencer sees
her strolling and has just cheek enough
to set out after her. Up comes the bus
and Mr.. Gaynor, and from the window
I Of his room he sees the two strollers,
and goes down to lick Mr.. Spencer as
he returns. That was one Of the
things he had vowed to do before
death came. ....
And the goat? He gets his cue and
comes ON right here. He was the ho-
tel goat He had some cute tricks to
make him source Of amusement.
AS the strollers Btrolled he caught
sight Of them. It might have been the
color Of Mr.. Spencer's hair or, eyes
that fred his anger, or there might
have been mental telegraph line be-
tween him and Mr.. Gaynor. But
he anbled down to within hundred
feet of, the strollers, who had ceased
to stroll, and then charged.
- A goat Is not fearful object as he
stands chewing an old shoe, but when
he Is coming at you head-on, and YOU
remember to have read his skull is
hard enough to burst barrel of ce-
ment-that's different! ~
Miss. Mattie's shrieks were heard at
| the hotel.
And the liar-hero?
He didn't want any of that, and
wheeling. softly he ran 80 feet. and
vaulted q harbed- wire fence without
tearing his trousers, and did not stop
running, for half mile. Mr.. Gaynor
was after the goat, but Billy stopped
dead still q few feet, from the girl.
She was laughing till she weaved to
and fro and her eyes blinded with
tears. so- 4,
What 10 1t, dear?" asked Gaynor
az he reached her.
'eW-rait q minutei'' -
Are you hurt!"
Mo, but 'did--1id you see the
hero! oh, Charlie, it was rich! Take
me somewhere. SO / can laugh all l
want to-"
They made up, but that goat had
brought 1t all about, and he just dotted
on peach stones. and they never fed
him single one! .
