One Moonlight
Night

By DONALD ALLEN

There was no particular excitement
when the Hon. John Watkins and his
son James arrived at the mountain
resort on an August day. The Hon.
John was sixty-five years old and
rich and a widower. His son was
twenty years old and confiding and
fat. But for the sons confiding ma
ture 1t would not have been known
to all the guests within three days
that the governor, meaning his old
man, was on the lookout for a second
wife, and he wanted a young one at
that.
The Hon. John neither denied nor
confirmed the story. He simply
looked about like a man who would
marry II he found the right woman.
There were mammas who secured in
Productions to him when they heard
OF his wealth, and there were a very
few daughters who looked at him
from afar off and wondered II they
wanted another grandpa.
1t was when the Widow Savage ar
rived that the flutter began. She was
fair and forty. She had the inde-
pendent toss of the head that goes
with widowhood after the first year
She had little ways with her eyes and
mouth that made all the other wom-
en- Jealous the very first day. OF
course, the stupid men simply looked
upon her as a widow, but it was her
own sex that unmasked her. When
one of them said: THAT widow has
come here to catch a mani" all re-
peated it in chorus.
There were plenty of young people
at the resort. Some widows, as soon
as hearing that the Hon. John was
wife-hunting, would have gone man
hunting in return. The Widow
Savage didn't. She eluded him. She
didn't coddle the fat son, as some
women did. She forced father and
son to keep tEeir distance and Sc
lected only after three or four days.
Her victim was young man. He
had already tcngled himself up with
a blue-eyed girl year younger, but
that fact did not sway the widow the
least bit. When she got ready to APP
>propriate him she did So
The blue-eyed girl made very
poor attempt to show the people she

Day Of Yankee Mill Girls.

There were very few If any foreign
ers in the cotton mills when ] worked
in them here in Biddeford 65 years
ago." said an old, old lady in Maine
About all Of us were girls from
the farms, who came here to work SO
as to get ready money and buy
clothes and help out the folks at
home.
"One day the overseer hired a girl
that had just come over from the old
country. We went to him and told
him we just wouldn't work with hep;
and she had to 60. The old scrub
woman that washed the floors was
the only outlandish person In our
room.
There was one girl in the room
who, suppose now. must have been
French Canadian. She used to sing
French songs for us and act them out
We were always coaxing her to do It.
because 1t sounded so funny to hear
a language not our own. Such carry
ings-on as we girls had!"
