full to Seffy, but not to Sally. She
frankly accepted the situation and
promptly put into action its oppor-
tunitfes for coquetry. She begged him,
first, with cOnsummate aplomb, to
aid her in adjusting her parcels more
securely, insisting upon carrying them
herself, and it would be impossible to
describe adequately her allures. The
electrical touches, half-caTess, half
defiance; the confidential whisperings,
SO that the willy old man in the rear
might not hear the surges up against
him; the recoveries-only to surge
again-these would require mechanical

-" You wouldn't "a bid at all If you'd

''Yes, would declared the coquette-
"Td rather have you than any nest

chance if they were made of gcRd!"
But then she spoiled it.
'It's worse fellows than you, Seffy."
The touch of cOquetry was but too

no good with girls-and I don't careI''
"Yesi" she assented wickedly.
"There are better ones"
Sam Pritz-"
Sally looked away, smiled, and was
silent.
fSuIky Seffyl" she finally said.
"f he does stink of salt mackeFel,
and most always drunk" Seffy went
on bitterly. Hes nothing but a
molasses-tapperp
Sally began to drift further away and
to sing. Calling Pritz names was of
no cOnsequence-excep that 1T kept
Seffy from making love to her while he
was doing (which seemed foolish to
Sally. The old man came up and
brought them together again.
Coach! go long and make lofe some

He drew them very close together,
each looking the other way. Indeed he
held them there for a moment, roughly.
Seffy stole a glance at Sally. He
wanted to see how she was taking his
fathers odiously intimate suggestion.
DuI IL happened l1aL Sd4lN wanted TO
see how he was taking it. She laughed
with the frankest Of Joy as their eyes
met.

coquette. And you ought to know

Now this was immensely stimulating
to the bashful Seffy.

Mr.. Busby Strengthened his coun-
tenance.
"He don't seem to notice-nor keer
bout gals-dO he?"
No one spoke.
"No, durn him, he amt no good.
Say-what'n you give for him, hah?
Yere he goes to the highest bidder-for
richer, for poorer, for better, for Worser,

he ken ketch fish. They wait on him.
What's bid7"
No one would hazard bid.
'EYit q minute" shouted the old
fellow, pulling out his bulls-eye watch
again, whats bid? Going going
all done-going-"
"a dollarI"
The bid came from behind him, and
the voice was beautiful to hear. A
CLEAN came into the old mans eyes
as he heard If. He deliberately put
the watch back In its pocket, put on
his spectacles, and turned, as II she
were stranger.
the purchaser? Come forwards and
take away YOU property. What's the
name, pIease?" Then he pretended to
recognize her. "Oachi Sanyi Well,
that's luckyI He goes in good hands.
He's sound and kind but needs the
whip" He held out his hand for the
dollar.
1t was the girl of whom he had spoken
accurately as a prize. Her sleeves
were turned up as far as they would go,
revealing some soft lace-trimmed white
ness, and there tDGS flour on her arms.
Some patches of it on her face gave
petal-hke effect to her otherwise ag-
gressive color. The pretty dress was
nned far enough back to reveal the
prettier pettieoat-plus pair of trinity
clad ankles.
Perhaps these were neither the gar
ments nor the airs IN which every
farmer-maiden did her baking. But
then, Sally was no ordinary farmer
maiden. She was all this, it Is true,
but she was, besides, grace and color
and charm itself And if she chose to
bake IN such attlre-or, even, she
chose to pretend to do so, where was
the churl to say her nay, even though

tween ugliness and beauty For,
whether Sally were beautiful or not
about which we might contend bit
her hair was, and perhaps that is the
reason why it was nearly always un-
covered-or, possibly, again, because
it was so much uncovered was the
reason it was beautiful. It seemed to
catch some of the glory of the sun.
Her face had a few freckles and her
mouth was q trifle too large But,
in it were splendid teeth
In short, by the magic Of brilliant
color and natural grace she narrowly
escaped being extremely handsome
In the way of sunburned peach, or a
maiden's-blush apple. And even II
you should think she were not hand
some, you would admit that there was
an indescribable rustic charm about
her. She was like the aroma of the
hay-fields, or the woods, or a field OF
daisies, or dandeIions.
The girl, laughing, surrendered the
money, and the old man, taking an
arm Of each, marched them peremp-
torily away.

into the joyous laughing conceit of it
Had he not just done the bravest thing
of his small life?

WHAT HAVE FEELINGS GOT TO DO WITH

They advanced together now, Seffy's
father whistling some tune that was
never heard before on earth, and, with
his arm in that of his son, they watched
Sally bounding away. Once more, as
she leaped fence, she looked laughingly
back. The old man whistled wildly

Seffy agreed to this, also.

Seffy said nothing.

''She's got q granny"
"Yas," chuckled the old man at
the way his son was drifting into the

might mean.

Ouence-

did not return the kiss-though he
yearned to.

FORD KNOWS WHEN TO FIGHT.

In December, 1915, Henry Ford
headed costly expedition to Europe,
financed by himself alone, expecting
to bring about peace by moral sua-
sion. Failing in that enterprise, he
announced in January, 1916, a pur-
pose to spend $1,00O,00O to defeat
the preparedness program. In Sep
TENDER. of the! same year. although a
republican, he declared in favor OF
the reelection of President Wilson
as the best hope of those who desired
peace.
In February, 1917. when war was
seen to be inevitable, he offered to
turn his plant over to- the govern
ment or to operate it himself ca ma
tional account without profit. A Few
days later he proposed to loan his
entire fortune to the United States
for war>purposes without interest. In
the following April, war having been
declared, he surrendered to the Brit
ish government without cost all, his
patent rights on tractors Asked soon
afte1ward on what terms his Boston
plant could be had by the govern
ment, he said, Take it." Today it is
announced that until the end OF the
war he will devote his works wholly
to the manufacture OF tractors, air
craft engines. ambulances, shells and
other appliances and munlLlCns OF
war.
We refer TO these things merely to
introduce the statement tnat Henry
Ford is pacifist who knows when it
is time to fight, and that in this re-
spect the American people with COM
paratively few exceptions, are in com
plete accord with him.
