the band OF desperadoes who escaped
from Stroud. Okla, after robbing two
national banks of $1,000, apparently

Eyes, / have been thinking OF
marriage a lot lately" repeated
Mollie. but truly, Margie. / be-
lieve that after a girl has passed
through such an experience as ]
did with Chadwick Hatton, she
will always stop, look and listen
when another man asks her to
marry him. l was greatly sur
prised when Jim Eide asked me
to marry him the other night"
WAS 1t the night he brought
you to the Symones I asked.
Yes; why did you ask?" she
answered.
"Well, you had that rather ex-
cited, triumphant look that a
woman always has when a man
has been making love to her; be-
sides | noticed you were keeping
Jim guessing. He never took his
eyes off you the whole evening.
He did not even ask me to dance,
and you know Jim loves to dance
with me better than anyone else. "
ooh he does, does he, I'll have
to look out for you IL decide
to marry him."
What do you suppose made
old Jim, whom l have known and
loved in a sisterly fashion, ever
since l could talk, all at once de-
eide that he was in love with
me?' she added, rather wistfully.
well, my dear, believe it Is
because he thinks you are like
your Aunt Mary-he told me a
long time ago that he would be
afraid to marry for fear he would
wake up some bright morning and
see a totally different woman
from the one he married, across
the breakfast table,"
81 don't believe l could stand
the shock" he whimsically az
firmed.
Mollie's eyes danced with mis-
chief as she said: :.
How dreadful 1t would be, II
i let him marry me with that
idea, and then should grow to be
like mother. You know mother
bores him to death.
Some way | seem to feel that
good old Jim would be good
man to tie to. He is a good deal
older than /, of course, but since
my school days / have never cared
much for boys. However, Mar
gle, do you think would be per-
fectly content to jog along with
out any of the thrills that come
to a woman when O man ceases

to make desperate love to her?
II don't believe. I shall ever
again have that mad moment of
absolute bliss that l had when
Chadwick Hatton crushed me in
his arms and kissed smes It
seemed to catch me by the throat.
Instinctivsly, l clasped my hands
across my breast to keep II with
in my soul. l guess such Joy is
too great to last, for although I
was heartbroken for a time after
he had gone, yet eventually /
ceased to have that mad pump
ing at my heart. Every time /
heard Chadwick's name spoken
my heart grew calm and cold
again. and / came to know that
this tumult we called love, and
vowed was eternal, would have
nothing to do with making life
with him happiness, or even
worthiness.
II knew it was only the call
of that old matchmaker nature.
who after We have answered with
trembling limbs and eager lips,

She does not care whether we are
happily married or not, as long as
We are mated. Indeed, she does
not even care IL we are properly

1T is left for US poor human
beings to cover this sordid fact

that the great Joy will last
Il tell you, Margie, this ro-
mantle education We are giving
our girls is all wrong. We are
educating them neither for
sweethearts nor wives"
"Mollie!" I exclaimed in hor-
ror. Where have you learned
all this?"
From you," she answered
calmly.

the world are you talking aboutf
