en- some twenty dinners opposite Lisa
he moved over to the seat beside her.
Il want to get close enough to talk
to you" he said. You look like home
folks, and I'm so lonesome" LISA
talked to him. She did not care about
him then, but presently, after he had
walked home with her and sat on tho
veranda a few evenings, she began to
to wonder IL he was ever going to care
for her. and to hope that he would in
time. In the meantime she was very
happy. She began to feel 1oyfuily
that she pleased his sight. In order to
please it still more she committed
foolish extravaganza. she bought
white wool dress wit ha gay gtrdle Just
for dinner wear. And she took to loos-
ening her dark hair about her face. as
she saw Miss white did. Sometimes
when she looked in the glass she was
almost shocked at the sight OF her
own sweetness. And she sighed and
smiled and hoped again. So. winter be-
came spring and spring summer.
One evening she told him that she
was not coming back next year be-
cause she had been offered more money
she should earn all that she could.
You see, there are five younger than
l. and father can't turn off the work he
used TO-, she explained. simply. 1t was
as much as she had ever said about
her family. Some subjects were too
sacred for idle discussion. even with n
man so good and true and decent as
she believed Ben Worth to he. OF
course, il some day she knew him bet
ter But that day did not come. In
the forty-three seconds that it took
her to get from the screen door to her
room she realized poignantly that she
had hoped foolishly and that her dream
was as much vanished thing as jan
uarys snow. He had meant nothing:
he had let her go without saying a
word.
In her own room Lisa turned on the
light. opened her trunk and proceeded
to pack, She seemed to have only
strange. horrible. sick feeling where
her young. throbbing heart ought to
be. She could not cry. When she
looked in the glass she was astonished
at herself; her face looked so like the
white ash of something that had once
flashed and sparkied Hope, expecta-
ton. joy were dead. She was carrying
their lifeless weight upon her. and
must carry it tomorrow and for many,
many tomorrows She shrank before
the thought of the tomorrows
The hardest of all was when she took
down the white wool dress AMI folded Il
away in the trunk. II was another dead
thing. She had been happy in it so many
times. But now she could never be hap
by In IT again. "Oh. I wish I had never
had 1t" she moaned. IT wish had never
seen him! Why did he have to come and
spoil my whole life? Oh. might have
known that he meant nothingl / ought
not to have hoped. But | thought he
did care for me just the way 1 cared fol
him.
When the trunk was packed and her
room cleared of all the things she had
used during this one really happy year Of
her life she crept to bed and finally she
fell asleep on her tear-wet pillow
Mrs. Van Loan aroused her at AMI

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Blood will tell-and so will a black
eye.
The only way to fiatter a sensible
woman is not to.
Fools often rush in where angels
fear to use their wings.
It's difficult for some people to think
sensible thoughts.
Most of US need the money because
that is what money is for.
Figures may not lie, but some OF
them get tangled up in statistics.
A double spendthrift is one who
wastes both his time and his money.
Any young man can afford to marry
if the girl has money enough for
two.
Some people are as quick as powder
and others are as slow as cold mo-
lasSes.
My son. there are two things you
should never borrow-money or trou-
BILE, especially trouble.
And sometimes the girl who marries
her ideal gets a divorce and lives hap
PLY ever after.

partings were not unusual, but when
Lisa Reid shut the screen door behind
her she shut it upon all that her poor
little life had gathered of love and ro-

that she would never see Ben Worth
again.
Ben Worth meant everything in the
world to her. Lisa got her meager
breakfasts in Mrs. Van Loans bed
room, but she got luncheon and din
ner at Mrs. Crosby's, which was next
door to the school. Mrs. Crosby had
a long table full Of ''mealers.". One
cold evening when Lisa was wearing
her old gray flannel blouse, than
which nothing could be more unbe-
coming, Mrs. Crosby brought in a

down right across from Lisa. His

Ing, trying SO hard to act as if n thing
had happened to her heart or to her life.
But all the time she grew paler and paler.
and one day her mother took her into an
ample, loving embrace and questioned
her.
What has given my little girl such
heartache " she asked.
"Oh, mother" Lisa gasped and sobbed
1t all out. After all. there was so little

roses and all the family sat on the porch
enjoying the coolness and fragrance. q
man came up the walk between the flow

asked or her. and then it seemed as if
all that was dead and cold in her heart
leaped in Joyous, palp -tating life. She
gave him her hand. and welcomed him
and introduced him to her people quietly.
Then they all sat down and began to talk
Lisa scarcely spoke. She felt as if
she were in a dream If she turned her
head away she felt he was not there. 1t
seemed SO unbelievable, So good.
After while the younger children were
sent to bed. and her father and mother
went away. She was alone with Ben and
the moonlight and the scent of the fl W.

at her feet, he reached up and took her
hand.

He held her hand to his cheek. and
she felt his own tremble. She thought:
"Oh. 1 don't deserve to be SO happy"
