gaged?"
why, yes. guess So"
And so when Jason went blowing
home to the COWS through the dusty
meadows that lined the highway he
had seen, admired, lover and became
engaged.
And as Susie helped her mother
clear the dishes off the table, accom-
panied by song and a whistle, she
felt that the girl who never hung over
the front gate was missing golden op,
portunities.
Up among the swagger set it would
have taken from six months to year
to accomplish what they had in half
a day, and who could say that one
couple would be any happier than
: the other?

DRIVEN OUT OF couRTsHlP
Copyright, 1915, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
BY Lawrence Alfred Clay.

(COpyrlght, 1918, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
Mr. Jason Gill was a farmers hired
man, and twenty-five years old. The
song of the turtle dove hadn't yet en-
tered his heart. When a young man,
no matter how strong he is, puts in
from fourteen to sixteen hours per
day at farm work he is glad enough
to go to bed and to sleep without los
ing time over the thoughts of Cupid.
Jason Gills time was coming, how
ever. Indeed, 1t was to come within
an hour from the time he was found
greasing his boots at the kitchen
door on Sunday morning.
"Goin' somewhere" queried the far
mer.
Il thought I'd go down to the river
and see If the boys was ketching any
fish,"
Then as you have to go past Nor
toms keep your eyes peeled"
"For what?',
Her gal Susie got home the other
day You never saw her. She has
been Twin with her uncle for the last
six months She used to spend half
her time hangin' over the gate look
in for agents and peddlers, but meb-
be she has improved"
. well, shan't bite her." laughed
Jason as he set out; and long enough
before he got there he saw a female
figure at the gate.
That's probably the gall he mus
ed IF she's good lookin' I'll look
twice at her as I go past. If she's
sort O. homely I'll just give one glance
out Of the corner Of my eye"
The girl was looking straight at
him for the last twenty rods. and as
he began to slow down and step soft
Iy she said: Hadn't you better stop
and get acquainted"
Yes, I guess will" was the reply.
You are the Susie who got home the
other day."
yep Father says he has met you.
but mother never has. Why haven't
you been in?"
mo gals here
But there's going to be enc here
after this
Then I'll be coming

The farmers wife saw a different
look about Jason when he got home
you have seen Susie Morton!"
you bet!" was the reply.
And you think she is cute?"
Gutter than small apples"
And" continued the woman, 'I'll
bet you fall in love with her in {
month
Say, Mrs. Wilkins. we have beer
engaged at least forty minutes"
When the cows had been MIXED
and the stock fed Jason headed dowr
the road for Morton's again. He
didn't get sight of Susie, but he fell
better for hanging around the gate
for half an hour.
In the field next day Farmer Will.
kins stopped his work to ask:
Jason, why in thunder do you want
to fall in lover"
ITO see how it feels
But will you marry?"
Sure pop"
But what on?"
Love and ambition and all that"
The farmer knocked three or four
potato bugs off vine and then looked
at JdSOuF lou dE0 dUOuC DIS DlS &
fool as they make em!"
Jason's bedroom window looked to
ward Morton's and Susies window
looked out toward Wilkins. Each
spent at least an hour at his or he1
window gazing in the opposite direc
ton and fondly imagining they could
see the lovelight in each others eyes
though there were three orchards, two
barns and seven haystacks between
Jason would have gone to renew his
VOWS of constancy every evening had
not some one thrown clubs at him il
he came over three times a week.
If Jason had been a clubman and
Susie swagger young lady they
would have had their "tiffs." AS il
was they never had misunderstood
ing. The parents of the girl knew
that Jason was steady, hard working
young man, and, though they argued
that Susie might do better, they did
not fairly oppose her
And on his sparkling evenings, when
he was ready to go, the conversation
would drift around to: And, Susie
you hain't sorry come along that
day, are. you?"
Indeed | hain't, JASON,
And I bless the hour that found
you at the gate. Had you any idea
you was going to fall in love with
me?"
kinder of an idea-kinder. DID
you think you might fall in love with
me?"
II knew | should
When seven months had passed
away Mrs. Morton said to her daugh
ter: Didn't you tell me months an6
months ago that that bump On log
had asked you to marry him?''
yes. the first day we met" was
the reply.
"And when is the marriage day?'
why, mother he haven't got t.
that yet"
well, you had better be a-gittin
to it. A love match gets musty ii left
around year or so"
When Jason was told of this he an
,, swered with half groan: why, il
II should lose you, you know | should
hang myself to a tree!'
And should hunt out the same

"Oh, thunder. Why, it's Jason
Gill"
That's just pa, all over. | think
the name Jason Gill is one OF tne
sweetest names ever heard. used
to think Claude d'Artagan was
sweet name, but it sounds mushy De,
side yours. Do you like my name?
IT dote on it.
Then come in and meet mother
and stay to dinner
Jason didn't go to the river, but the
couple sat on the veranda and talked
the rest of the day. When ne was
ready to start for home to 40 the
milking, he said: Susie, I've peen
kinder thinkin'."
Kinder what about, Jason! she

Look out the way! Here come!
Whoopa-la!" cried Sammie Littetail
the rabbit boy, as he hoped on his
sled at. the top of the hill. and began
coasting down to the bottom. Look
out Of my way!" he cried, waving his
ears like two flags.
"Oh, Beckie! Come over here
Quick" cried Lulu Whibblewobble,
the duck girl, to Beckie Stubtail, the
little bear cub. We'll be run into by
Sammie Littletail If we don't look
Quit"
Eyes, he coasts very swiftly" said
| Beckie, as she and Lulu slowly pulled
their sleds up the hill behind them.
And the two little girls, one bear and
the other a duck, managed to get out
of the way just in time, as Sammie
flashed past on his sled.
"You girls had better look out!'
cried Sammie. "You oughtn't to coast
on the hills with us boys!"
right here as the boys" said Lulu,
sort of scratching her webbed foot
with her yellow bill. 1--WE girls have
just as good right to coast, and have
fun, as the boys have" J
81 think SO, too, spoke johnnie
Bushytail, the little squirrel boy. as he
came walking up the hill. Where's
your brother Neddie?" he asked OF
Beckie.
"Oh, Neddie has a little toothache
from eating to many honey cakes,
said sister Beckie, 80 he stayed home
today. :.
well. I'm glad you're here, ~-said
Johnnie politely. "And l think you
girls can coast as well as we boys
can"
Whats that?" cried sammie Little
tail, coming up the hill just then.
Whats that?"
81 said / thought girls had just as
much right to coast as we boy animals
have" repeated Johnnie, sort OF BASH
FIJI like. !,
ooh, yes, maybe they have said
Sammie, making his nose twinkle as
he had seen his Uncle Wiggily Long
ears do. But girls aren't strong.
They might get hurt If they coast with
us boys. Better go over on the other
hill by yourselves" he said to Beckle
and Lulu.
Girls are all right for sewing but
tons on and things like that" went
on Sammie to the little squirrel BOY,
.'but they aren't brave and strong.
"Well, like girls, anyhow SAID
Johnnie land they can coast on this
hill for all of me-"
THANK you, Johnnie said Beckle,
as she and the little duck girl went TO
side hill by themselves.
Well the animal children coasted Tor
some time, until it was nearly dark
and time to go home. And as Sammle
Li.tletail. the rabbit boy, and johnnie
Bushytail, the squirrel, were walking
away together, all Of sudden, out
from behind the bushes jumped a pig
boy. He had box in his hands, and
before the squirrel and rabbit could
get out of the way the boy had caught
them, and put them in the box, shut
ting the cover down tightly
ooh, dear" chartered Johnnie,
"What has happened to us?'
1--WE are caught said Sammie, sad
Then the boy ran off through the
woods taking with him the two niue
animals in the box, and the boy said:
.'Ah. ha! l have caught rabbit and
squirrel: I'll take them to the CITY
and sell them to an animal man, VINO
will make a cage to keep them IN.
That will be fun!'
Gust listen to him!" exclaimed
Johnnie "He says putting us IN d
cage will be fun!"
at won't be fun for US spoke Sam

mie sorrowfully. Lets try to get
out of this box"
| So, while the boy carried the box
/. with the rabbit and squirrel in 1t, I'M
der his arm, Johnnie and Sammie tried
7, to get out. But they could not. They
were fastened in too tightly. All of
sudden the boy stopped and set the
| box down on the ground.
Hal the boy cried. There goes
another rabbit with tall hat on.
I'm going to throw SNOWFALL at him.
He's big one!'
ooh, did you hear that?" asked
| Johnnie of Sammie, speaking in ami
NAL language which the boy could not
understand. "A rabbit with tall hat!
That must be Uncle Wiggily!"
"Yes!" said Sammie. Lets call to
him for help. Maybe he can get us
out of this box"
| So the rabbit and squirrel boy called
as loudly as they could, but no one
came to them. They saw the boy run
through the woods, leaving the box,
with them in it, on the ground. The
/ boy was throwing snowballs at some
rabbit perhaps at Uncle Wiggily,
though Sammie and Johnnie could not
see.
Then, all of sudden, as the rabbit
and squirrel chap We're fast In the
box, waiting for the boy to come back
and take them far away, along came
Becky Stubtail, the little bear girl. She
was coming home from the coastlng
hill, dragging her sled after her.
"Oh, look!" cried Johnnie Bushytail.
There is Beckie. Let's ask her to
help us to get out before that bad boy
comes back.
"Oh, yes let's do it," said Sammie
Littletail, eagerly. "she will surely
help u.s.
"But perhaps she can't said John
ME, sort of teasing like. "She is only
little girl animal you know; only
good for sewing buttons on, and things
like that!'
"Oh, I'm sorry l ever said that"
cried Sammie. "Beckie! Beckie!" he
called. will you please help John
ME and me out of this box where the
boy put u.s."
Mercy mel" cried Beckie What's
that? Who's calling?'
Here we are! In this box!" said
Sammie. "Oh, Beckie, I'm sorry was
cross to you! Please help us out"
"Of course, I will" cried Beckie.
And with her strong, sharp paws the
little bear girl soon clawed hole in
the wooden box which was too strong
| for Sammie or Johnnie to gnaw.
And when Beckie had made the hole
large enough, out jumped the rabbit
and squirrel, and just in time, too, for
| the boy came running back, not hav-
| ing caught the rabbit with the tall hat,
who was probably Uncle Wiggily.
ooh, there goes the squirrel and
rabbit | caught" cried the boy. "They
broke out of the box! Come back
here! Come back!" But you may be
sure Sammie and Johnnie ran on as
fast as they could, never SO much as
| looking back. And Beckie ran with
them.
well, l guess girls are good for
something after all; aren't they, Sam
mie?" asked Johnnie little later
when they were safely home.
They certainly are agreed the
rabbit boy, land from now on Beckie
can coast down our hill as much as
she likes"
j So this teaches us that even rab-
bit boy sometimes makes mistakes,
and in the next story I'll tell you about
| Neddie helping Nurse Jane Fuzzy
! Wuzzy. And if the bathtub sponge
doesn't drip water on the goldfsh's
umbrella. so it has to wear rubbers to
! bed. so much the better.
