From 4 Southern Gentle

In antebellum days the people Of
the southern states were as different
from those Of the north as a pumpkin
from watermelon. The customs pre-
vafling in that tropical region were in
duenced by climate and inheritance.
Some Of these differences between the
two sections are illustrated in the fol-
lowing dialogues. Martin Brewer, a
young lawyer from New England, TAX
Ing fancy to live in the south, settled
In a town in South Carolina and hung
out his single. He carried with him
letter to William Touchard, a South
Carolina planter Of the old school, who,
taking fancy to the young northern
er,. desired to give him some business.
Not long after Brewers arrival Mr..
Touchard entered his Office, greeted
him with all the cordially of south

which my desk was placed, and look

was set one story below me. which en-

was just far enough removed to enable
me to see the actors clearly. even to
the expressions on their faces. There
was no change Of scenery from the be-

stage setting consisted of three rooms,

was a general Office, with a number of
desks for clerks. Next was q small

"Who is that?" asked Lem Pike lazi-
~ as q girls tall, slender form swept
past.
Dick Wakeham turned a fishy blue
eye on his companion. Mean to say
you don't know?" he asked incredu-
lousy.
"Of course l don't know" was LENS
irritated rejoinder Maybe if you'd
remember that I've been away from
Little Greek for the last twelve years
you wouldn't ask me to recognize ev
cry man, woman and child I meet on
the street.
II didn't suppose you'd forget Mabel
Danvers," said Wakeham coolly.
"Oh, you didn't. EN-" LENS voice
was snarling now. and the face he
turned to his companion was convulsed
with what might have appeared to an
OnlOoker as unreasonable anger at
Wakeham's apparently innocent ques-
ton. you didn't, eh?" he repeated
warningly, and then without another
word he slipped around the corner and
disappeared from Wakeham' view.
Once around the corner his eagle
glance scanned the street closely, hop
ing to recognize the sorrel horse and
its rider, but save for few loungers
like himself the main street Of the
prairie town was deserted.

long," he muttered as he went back
and mounted his own horse. "1'll ride
out Gopher Springs way. and likely she
will catch up with me. l didn't dare
ask after her. l was afraid she'd be
married and out of reach by now. She
looked awful thin. l wonder If She
cared"
For the first time in twelve years
Lem Pike asked himself this ques-
ton. which had dinned at his ears in
spite Of his efforts to drown all
thoughts Of Mabel Danvers in dissi-

patton. Now he could give these
thoughts free rein. 1t was October,
and the fresh breeze was blowing over
the plains as he galloped out of the
town and struck the narrow trail that
led to Gopher Springs. He pushed
the shabby hat back from his fore
head and drank in the cool air.
He waited for her not far from the
springs that gave their name to the
section where the Danvers ranch was
situated
At last he saw her, pale brown
speck on the dusty trail. She was
galloping. for the dust swirled about
her in clouds and hid him from her
sight until she came abruptly upon
him, standing there in the shade of a
blasted white oak tree. Her face
went quite white at sight of him. and
her eyes. which had been wide and
soErowful. narrowed into a queer
searching glance that seemed to ferret
out all the madness and dissipation of
bis absent years.
The worst of it was that her look
changed to one of blank unrecognition,
and she was about to pass him by
when he spoke and halted her prog
ress.
"Mabel!" he cried sharply.
She surveyed him coolly from head
to foot, from the peak of his shah
by broad brimmed bat to the rusty
toes Of his high heeied boots. Her
piercing glance seemed to take in the
lines Of dissipation 90 his unshaven
face. 1t saw the frowsy handkerchief
knotted about his strong sunburned
throat: it glimpsed tue carelessness
Of his whole attire ana weighed him
and found him lacking in all that
goes to make up responsibility.
"Well. who are your" she asked with
cool insolence
II know you are trying to kid me,
Mabel" he retorted quietly. "Oh. Of
course you remember me-"
"You will have to tell me. You GER
tainly do not resemble any friend
ever had" She spoke with labored
carelessness. but her breath came
swiftly. and her bosom painted. She
looked beautiful. but very thin and
careworn.
"Perhaps you have forgotten Len
Pike" he said bitterly.

she said. her face white as paper.
Look at me, Mabel. and see."

her head. Lem Pike-never-looked-

The gentleman in the next room taps
his bell twice. Laura arises, goes into

his desk, receives his dictation. He

From the back of the room, where

older man-doubtless his son. They are
both handsome men. the younger the

with Laura. looking down upon her

help us to perform them with laughter
