1t began years before, when they
all went to the district school to-
gether. Even then plain little Jennie
Wilt, her scrawny figure hidden be-
hind scrawny folds of weird checked
ginghams, her nondescript hair
pinched into two knotlike braids that
seemed trying to pull their source
out by the roots around the edge of
her freckled forehead, looked long
ingly upon sturdy Bob Megley.
But Bob never saw this admiration
for his eyes We're focused, as most of
those masculine in the schoolroom
when not on a baseball, on Annabelle,
who was a perpetually revolving
combination Of curls, ruffies and
dimpled smiles.
So. it was through the years from
the dog eared first reader to the be-
thumbed algebra, when the long path
between eliminated in the last school
party that class ever would have. Al
this party Annabelle, a vision COM
pounded principally of laces, curls
and dimples. as ever, iloated trium-
phantly about on everybody's arm.
while Jennie, who couldn't compass
the art of clothes, queer of coiffure,
and with her gown ruffied in the
wrong place, sat bitterly alone.
Bob went away to law school and
came back after a few years, which
had made Annabelle more Winsome
and Jennie more odd, hanging out his
shingle in his home town and going
in whole-heartedly for such amuse-
mepts as the village offered, among
them frequent walks and talks with
Annabelle. Within Jennies hungry
soul surged a flood of such desire for
Bob's notice as spurred her into
action. The action she took was a
pitifu!ly sincere little letter to a love-
lorn bureau of advice which returned
the highly illuminated suggestion
that she make the man admire her
by entering into some business which
should be conducted with such sue
cess as to command his notice.
Coincident with this letter came to
her attention a store for rent next to
Bob's law office and instantly the
vision of a millinery store fiared into
her mind.
One morning. trembling with hope
