JUST A GENERAL NUISANCE
Dat smudne. or oat Louise, One Of the
Most Annoying Small Things
In the Universe.

The oat louise has no wings, and yet
1t flies through the air, borne on the
gentle breezes which watt over the
fields. It has no legs, and yet it adj
heres to the flesh Of man with q devo-
ton that is inspiring. Some persons
call it the oat smudge, but most per
sons call it by some harder name.
A fine way to accumulate the tribe
is to take a trolley trip near fields
where the honest husbandman has
been garnering his crops. There, the
oat lice, which are about the size OF
overgrown black feas, fill the air quite
numerously.
After such ride they can be found
adhering to the arms and face, with
q small sprinkling down the neck. At
heart they are innocent young things,
neither biting nor singing. and yet
because of their peculiar rolling mo
ton, they are ticklish little devils. So
people shake them OF.
The particular niche In nature filled
by oat lice is not quite clear. SO it il
quite reasonable to assume that they
have been set apart to Offset the mani.
fold Joys Of the suburbanite.

the second time that evening, she hur-
ried away. with the license of busy
hostess, and cooled her face at an
open window In the side vestibule.
There was q new note In Rev. Smith
Boyd's voice; not greater depth nor
meIlowness nor sweetness, but q
something else. What was it? It was
a call. that was it; q call across the
gulf of futurity.
They came after her. Ted and Lu-
Gle had arrived. She was in vortex.
Dick Rodley hemmed her In corner,
and proposed to her again, just for
practice, within eyeshot Of dozen
people, and he did 1t SO that onlookers
might think that he was compliment
ing her on her clever couture or dis
cussing a new operetta: but he made
her blush, which was the intention in
the depths of his black eyes. 1t seemed
that she was In perpetual blush to-

and he had resorted to dullness with
such OF the thinning guests as had
seemed disposed to linger.
Aunt Helen thought she had better
go upstairs after that, and she glanced
into the music room as she passed,
and knitted her brows at the tableau.
Rev. Smith Boyd, who seemed unusu-
ally fine looking tonight, stood leaning
against the plano. watching Gail with
an almost incendiary gaze. That
young lady. steadily resisting an i'm
pulse to feel her cheek with the back
of her hand, sat On the end of the

CHAPTER XVI.
Tho Greed Of Gall.

Who was that tall, severely correct
gentleman waiting at the station, with
a bunch of violets in his hand, and the
light in his countenance which was
never on sea or land? 1t was Gerald
Fosland, and he astonished all be-
holders by his extraordinary conduct.
AS the beautiful Ariy stepped through
the gates. he advanced with an en-
tirely unrepressed smile. springing
from the balls of his feet with buoy
ancy too active to be quite in good
form. He took Arly's hand in his. but
he did not bend over it with his Gus
tomary courteous gallantry. Instead.
he drew her slightly towards him.
with a firm and deliberate movement.
and. bending his head sidewise under
the brim OF her hat. kissed her;
kissed her on the lips!
Immediately thereafter he gave .
d:gnified welcome to Gail. and with

Ariy's arm clutched tightly IN his own.
ne then disappeared. AS they walked
rapidly away. Arly looked up at him
In bewilderment: then she suddenly
hugged herself closer to him. with
jerk. As they went out through the
carriage entrance. she skipped.
1t was good to see Allison. big.
strong. forceful. typical OF the city and
Its mighty deeds. His eye had lighted
with something more than pleasure as
Gail stepped out through the gates OF
the station. something SO infinitely
more than pleasure that her eyes
dropped, and her hand trembled as
she felt that same old warm thrill of
his clasp. He was so overwhelming In
his physical dominance He took inn
mediate possession of her. standing
-Dy while she greeted her uncle and
aunt and other friends, and beaming
with justifably proud proprietorship.
Gail had laughed as she recognized
that attitude. Allison was really
big man, one born to command, to
sway things, to move and shift and re-
arrange great forces; and that, of
course, was his manner in everything.
She flushed each time she looked in
his direction; for he never removed
his gaze from her; bold, confident, SUI
preme. When man like that is kind
and gentle and considerate. when he
Is tender and thoughtful and full Of
devotion, he Is big man indeedl
Rev. Smith Boyd was at the steps OF
the Sargent house to greet her, and
her heart leaped as she recognized
another of the dear familiar faces.
This was her world, after all: not that
world Of her childhood. How differ
ent the rector looked; or was 1t that
she had needed to go away in order
to Judge her friends anew? His eyes
were different; deeper, steadier and
more penetrating into her own: and.
yes, holder. She was forced to look
away from them for moment. There
seemed warm eagerness in his greet
ing, as If everything in him were draw
ing her to him.
With rapidity which was marvel
to all her girl friends, Gail had slipped
upstairs and into q creamy lace eve
ming frock without having been
missed; and she was In this acuteIy
harmonious setting when Rev. Smith
Boyd called, with his beautiful mother
on his arm The beautiful mother was
in an exceptional furry of delight to
see Gail. and kissed that charming
young lady with clinging warmth. The
rector's eyes were even more strik-
ingly changed than they had been

steps, as they looked on Gail in her

had told him, that there was perfect
response in her to the great desire

cry which was half sob. which came
with sharp intake Of the breath, and
carried with it pain and sorrow and
protest. She had been so happy. in
what she fancied to be the near full
fillment Of the promptings which had
grown so strong within her. No surge
of emotion like this had ever swept
over her; no such wave of yearning
had ever carried her impetRously up
and out OF herself as this had done. It
had been the ecstatic answer to all
her dreams, the ripe and rich and per-
feet completion of every longing with
in her; yet, In the very midst OF 1t
