BARTLETT'S DIGNITY
(CopynEht, Isl4)

Copyright. Isl4j
The dust cloud down the winding, hilly
road came nearer Out of It proceeded
now and then the strident honking of a
motor horn Then it reached the end of
the driveway, swung in between the
stone gateposts, and. the dust thinning
out somewhat. Barbara Wescott saw the
low. raking lines OF a familiar roadcar.
oh" she breathed. and there was
something almost Of annoyance in her
tones.
Bob Wescott, her younger brother, his
chair tilted back and his feet cooked up
on the veranda's stone railing, looked up
from the book he was reading.
We'll. well, here we are again he OBJ
served, his keen eyes on the approaching
car. Getting pretty frequent, isn't it,
Bah? l never thought he was you're
sort. though"
He isn't" said the girl. with a sudden
Tightening OF her lips as il she had just
made up her mind on the point.
Too blamed dignified and all that sort
of thing" BOB went on. Imagine ever
calling him 'Herm,' Bab!'
Little danger of that said she tartly.
The car was drawing close. Bob Wes-
colt pulled down his feet. arose, and
turned toward the house.
We'll, l preIume three's a crowd about
now" he observed with a meaning grin.
I'll fade"
The screen door of the house slammed.
The girl turned her eyes to the oncoming
car. Her pretty brows were wrinkled.
Bob was right. He always could put his
finger on other peoples weaknesses Her
man Bartlett, coming up the drive in
that car, was awfully nice. He was good
looking II haa ~
heaps of money; but, as Bob had said,
he was too dignifed. He wasn't her sort.
dignity was all we'll enough in its place;
but when a man never unbent, when he
was always so serious, so fearfuIly cor
rect and precise on all occasions and un-
der all circumstances, it was quite a diff
ferent matter.
Bartletts attentions Of late had been
assuming a gravity and a frequency that
could have but one meaning. Barbara
wrinkled those pretty brows of hers
harder as the motor swung up to the
veranda steps.
Not being wholly blind, I can put two
and two together and see what's COM
ing" she said half aloud. I'm going to
forestall him; I'm going to do It by
shocking that self-complacent dignity
of his
The car stopped. Herman Bartlett lift
ed his cap. Then. without hurry, in that
rather stately fashion of his. he got out
Of the car and came up the steps.
Not intruding. Miss Barbara, trust?''
said he.
oh, no. I'm glad you came"
She held out her hand. Bartlett had a
way Of taking ones hand that was def
erence Itself. He might have been hold
ing the digits of a queen so courtIy was
his air
Then you haven't any engagement for
the afternoon?' he inquired.
None whatever" said she.
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

Barbara, watching him. saw he was
trying. in his own stiH way, to enter into
the spirit OF the occasion. What IL must
cost him she could well imagine And
when he suggested. as they finished the
last of the amusements, that they do
them all over again. she relented.
No. take me home now" she said,
rather shortly.
They piled on to a packed trolley car.
and Bartlett managed to get two front
seats for them. She did not realize he
had procured more peanuts until he
fished bag OF them from his pocket and
laid them in her lap.
NO" she said rather contritely. I'm
not going to eat any more"
And forthwith she threw them away.
We'll, then. try some OF the popcorn. ''
he advised. from another pocket drawing
! out a bag OF that detection.
Hold on he cried, as Barbara was
about to throw that away too. Il like
II II you don't"
She stared as he took a generous hand
full Of the white kernels and crammed
II EN- into his mouth. Even eating pop
corn she noticed he had a certain dignity.
He couldn't seem to help It. He reached
for another handful.
Barbara stared harder.
They alighted at the square. He ell
bowed a way for her through the crowd
and they turned into the quiet road that
led up to her fathers big estate.
The girl was very quiet. She did not
speak until they were well down the road
and quite alone.
I'm a little cat" she burst out self
accusingly.
Huh said Bartlett, stopping short
in his tracks. You're nothing Of the
sort. You're a Jolly, whole-souled. demo-
cratic little girl that can do as the Rom
ans do when you happen to be with the
Romans"
Don't" she begged. You're the one
that's fine. I know what it meant to you
to go through what you did this after
noon. I did i; just to shock you. and
ate the peanuts to shock you, and rode
ths thrillers to shock you. and screamed
at the top OF my voice to shock you. And
you were so nice about il all. So"
Why: say he interrupted her. Hold
on! You're all wrong. / had the time
of my life. Honestly I did"
They were passing a low stone wall.
So earnest, so sincere was his tone, that
she leaned against IT, shaken with help
less laughter
And thought you were so dignihed-
so awfully, terribly diEnified"' said she.
I'm not" said he, reaching into yet
another pocket. Just to prove it, have
corncake"'
She took one. They resumed their way
down the road, munching gigglingly.
Am dignifed?'' he demanded.
You're something better than that"
she declared.
What's that?'' he asked.

Bartlett slipped an arm about her.

The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

planned some shopping for today. Are
you sure you have enough money!"
Quite sure" in a colorless voice.
Katherine bathed and dressed with a
heavy sense of misery A sleepless
night followed by throbbing headache
had only increased her bitterness. If
he had only come over and taken her in
his arms, if he had said he was sorry,
if he admitted that the dollar tip to the
cabman had been given in a spirit of
momentary dehanee-which he re-
gretted. If he had shown any desire
to admit that he was wrong. But he
hadn't He had been cold and taciturn.
He implied that the grievance was his.
Her thoughts were full of the first
two years of their marriage, when often
she had locked the door OF their tiny
apartment and washed the clothes in the
bathtub to save only as much as he
had tipped that cabmsn. All the grind
ing, pitiful economies she had practised
then. If she had become penurious, he
knew what had made her so and should
be the last to blame her. And even if
success and wealth had come to him
now, was it her fault that she could not
forget the hardships Of those years?
The more she dwelt on these thoughts
the more her indignation and sense Of
injury grew. The very rooms they were
in now were costing them more by the
day than at that time she could have
saved in weeks by the most misery
economy.
She had no heart now for shopping.
and sat brooding by the window all
morning. 1t was almost noon when
suddenly she rose and went downstairs,
straight to the Office. Both of the clerks
were busy; she waited quietly until one
of them turned to her.
Il am Mrs. Burrows. We have a
suite on the ninth hoor-ooo. We ex-
pect to be here a week or ten days, and
wish to take less expensive rooms.
What are your court rooms-two rooms
without a private BATH"
Our lowest rate is two dollars for a
single room. We can give you two
that adjoin.-if you wish"
They will be four dollars, them"
-Four dollars" answered the clerk
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

put the bill in his pocket, leaving the
change. Ninety cents | Surely that was
an extravagant tip. Before she could
check herself she said anxiously:
"Oh, Will, need you have given so
much?"
so much7 Do you call bare ten
per cent very much? What did you want
me to give hini-a dime?"
She flushed angrily, and said nothing
more.
When they rose from the table it was
almost nine, and too late for the theater,
but he said they would go to some light
opera, where the missing of the first
act would not matter.
At the box-ofice Katherine asked
hesitatingly: do you think we want
orchestra seats? Won't the dress circle
do just as well? We won't see more than
half of it, anyway"
do you wish to get the tickets, or
shall II" he said coldly, stepping back
from the window
"Oh, l don't mean that! Get them
wherever you wish. I only thought as
we were so late -"
A few moments afterwards the usher
led them down to the fifth row of the
orchestra.
1t was a tuneful musical farce, one of
the seasons successes, with scores of
pretty girls, elaborate costumes and ef-
fective tableaux. But Katherine watched
it moodily and with little enjoyment.
The angry resentment again rose
within her. He might have some con-
sideration for her wishes. II he knew
she would have been happier in dollar
and-a-half seats than in two-dollar
ones. could he not have conceded her
thar: She was conscious that he had
OWNED her resentment, for he, too, was
watching the stage with moody, indif-
ferent eyes.
The curtain fell on the final tableau.
They left the theater in silence. When
they reached the door he took her firmly
by the arm and led her through the
crowd and into hanson, There was
a certain resolute determination in the
way he did it that effectively silenced
any protests on her part.
At any other time Katherine would
