The day came and the ice cream did
sell like hot cakes and even after the
lemonade had been SO diluted that 1t
was almos innocent OF any intimacy
with the citrus fruit for which 1t was
named, it sold in such abundance that
the proceeds Of that table were five
times what one would have expected
from lemonade. Windows were open
ed and those who came to buy maze
fans of sheets of paper they could find.
1t was a sharp, cold day for autumn and
so there was no very great irritation in
the voices of complaint that were
raised against the excessive heat, AT
any rate everyone who attended the
baraar was strongly impressed with
the fact that the Tilden house was en-.
dowed with a phenomenal heating an.
paratus, and scarce person in town
failed to hear something about the e&.
cessive heat that had prevailed in the
old mansion during the two days and
two nights of the suffrage bazaar.
A few days after the baraar Hen
riette Beauchamp announced her en-
gagement to Randolph Yardley, and
those who knew her only for the repu.
tation she bore as an up-and-coming
young suffragist explained the fact
that the engagement occurred just
when it did in this wise:
Henriette had set her cap for Ran
dolph; yes, that is just what they said

fancy to Henriette, but Randolph was

the drama.
1.-THE scene of the first act was laid
five years after the prologue and took
place in Hanna Frankle's apartment

that the inevitable has occurred. Han

and they have a talk Hanna says

and for one fleeting moment he forgot
that his sole interest in life for the
time being was to propose to Henrietle.
Why certainly, that would win the
case for me. But"
Il don't suppose you have taken
good look at the furnace, or that Mr..
Tilden has, either" Henriette scold

Randolph had never used those WORDS
before in addressing Henriette, or aay
not altogether easy. You see, we law
yers don't go about things in Just that
way"
Henriette snorted an expostulatIon
that indicated contempt for lawyers n
general, and Randolphs mind went
back to the main consideration.
"If you're not busy tonight, let's 60
investigate that Tilden mansion. II YOU
start right away you can get the keys
from Mr.. Tllden and be back by T."
Randolph had risen from his char.
almost eager to be gone, since it was
the prerequisite of a solitary ramb.e
through the old house with Henrietto.
Surely If he could not manage a pro.
posal under such favorable circum.
stances he never would be able to DO
so.
He was just at the door, willing, with
the bright prospects for the evening
wildly before him, to depart With
scarcely word OF farewell.

Randolph lowered his voice and dis

entirely professional. The fact seems
to be that the heating system Of the

THE DAILY
SHORT STORY
Old Sandy Helps Cause
BY OSBORN JONES.
Copyright, 1917, by the McClue
Nauenapar Syndicatel


TT was not until Randolph Yardley
had definitely made up his mind to
4 propose to Henriette that he secret
" entertained the wish that Henrietta
was the kind OF sufrafist that felt it
to be woman's privilege to do the p-o-
posing as we'll as the voting. Her
riette was a sutfragist, OF course, but
she wasn't that particular kind OF SUI
fragist. Randolph had heard her say
SO. After she had managed to bring
, the conversation up to the delicate
question Of proposing Randolph might
easily have done the rest. But Ran
dolph didn't realize how easy this
would have been till he was alone the
evening after the discussion.
The Saturday afternoon after he had
definitely decided to propose he unfor-
tunately did not find Henriette alone.
His rival in her attention was the old
man-of.all.work, Saunders, known more
4 familiarly as Sandy-though any re!ef-
ence that that name might once havs
borne to his hair and complexion had
ceased to be apparent for Sandy was
toothless and his sparse hair was white
surely not very formidable rival.
But any third person is rival when
man wants to propose, and when Ran
dolph entered her bungalow living
room Henriette was kneeling on the
floor before packing case with Sau.
dy at the opposite end.
$50 sorry, Randolph, she said with
a smile so preoccupied that It was
worse than no smile at all; you'll just
have to excuse me while go on with
his case. They're things for the SUI
frage bazaar. It's to be in week ana
I've had to take the Craftsmanship the
last thing"
During all the call that afternoon
Randolph never once found a turn in
the road from which he might have di.
rected his own remarks toward pro.
posal. The case was soon packed and
Sandy shuffled away with it, but Hen.
riette's thoughts were still engrosse
with the bazaar. And imagine sudden
ly. skipping from remarks on the fish
pond at suffrage bazaar on fancy Ia
bles and lemonade booths to proposals
Perhaps it was not to be wondered.
then, that when Henriette suddenly
asked Randolph to promise to do 4
certain favor and to promise before
she had told him what it was, he held
up his large masculine hand and sworu
rather foolishlly to "do anything in
Gods world that she wanted him to-"
What she wanted him to do was to get
Mr.. Tilden to let the suffragists borrow
what was known as the "Tilden man.
sion" then unoccupled, for their 5a,
zaar.
"Ill do what can, Henriette." Ran.
dolph said solemnly, "but it may be
very embarrassing for me and for him.
You see, he is client of mine"-Ran.
dolph had not heen practicing law 81
long that he did not use this phrasine
with some degree of dissatisfaction
and there is a law suit now going on
over that house. You see, year ago.
after the Tildens had been out of the
house for year, 1t was leased by Mr..
Hamburger, the brewer. Loads of mon.

ing the suit, and the affair was settled
at once. No one cared, for no one hao
any great love for the brewer. The re.
suit was that Tilden gave the young
lawyer fee amounting to half the
years rent that he had recovered, and
for that mansion the rent was enor-
nous. More than that, Tilden put all
his legal work into the hands of the
young lawyer. His future was assured
and-well, after that, how could Mr..
Yardley do otherwise than he did?
