CHAPTER XXI
UNLIMITED Guests

A few nights later when Maxwell
returned from his work he found Mrs.
Burke sitting on the platform of the
tent with Mrs. Betty; and having
washed, and changed his clothes, he
persuaded their visitor to stay to sup.
per. After supper was over they sat
out doors, chatting of MaXwell's anus
ing experiences.
They had not been sitting long when
their attention was attracted by n
noise up the street, and going to the
fence they saw horse, over which
the driver evidently had lost control,
galloping towards them, with buggy
which was swerving from side to side
under the momentum of its terrific
speed.
Maxwell rushed into the middle of
assistance in stopping the horse and
preventing catastrophe; but before
he could get near enough to be of any
service the animal suddenly SHE'D, the
buggy gave final lurch, overturned,
and was thrown violently against a
telegraph pole. The horse, freed, dash.
ed on, dragging the shafts and part
Of the harness. The occupant of the
buggy had been thrown out against
the telegraph pole with considerable
force, knocked senseless, and lay In
the gutter, stained with blood and dirt
Mrs. Burke and Betty lifted the body
Of the buggy, while Maxwell pulled
Of q man; and when they had turned
him over and wiped the blood from
his face, they discovered, to their ut
ter amazement, that the victim was no
less parsonage than the Senior War
den, Sylvaster Bascom.
OF course there was nothing to be
done but carry him as best they could
into the tent, and lay him on lounge.
Maxwell ran hastily for doctor.
while Hepsey and Mrs. Betty applied
restoratives, washed the face of the
injured man, and bound up as best
they could what appeared to be SER
Sous wound on one wrist, and another
On the side of his head. The doctor
responded promptly, and after thor
cugh examination announced that Bas-
com was seriously hurt, and that at
present 1t would be dangerous to re-
move him. So Mrs. Betty and her
guest removed Maxweli's personal be-
longings, and improvised bed in the
front room of the tent, into which Bas.
com was lifted with the greatest care
Having done what he could, the doctor
departed promising to return soon.
In about twenty minutes there wers
rigns of returning consciousness, and
for some time Bascom looked about
him in dazed way, and groaned with
pain. Mrs. Burke decided at once to
remain all night with Mrs. Betty. and
assist IN caring for the warden until
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1917-04-05

Virginia could arrive and assume
charge Of the case. After about an
hour, Bascom seemed to be fully con-
scious as he gaxed from one face to
another, and looked wonderingly at
the canvas tent In which he found
himself. Mrs. Burke bent over him
and inquired:
"Are you in much pain, Mr.. Bas-
CONF"
For q moment the Senior Warden
made no answer; then in . hoarse
whisper he inquired:
where am II What has happen
ed?"
We'll. you see, something frighten
ed your horse, and your buggy was
overturned, and you were thrown
against a telegraph pole an injured
more or less. We picked you up and
! brought you in here, cleaned you up,
and tried to make you as comfortable
as possible. The doctor has been
here and looked you over, and will re-
turn in few minutes.'
"Am l seriously injured"
evidently lost good deal CT blood;
but don't worry. Mrs. Betty and
end the rest of us will take good care
of you and do all we can until Virginia
Is able to take you home again."
Where am II"
A curious expression of mild tri-
umph and amusement played across
Mrs. Burke's face as she replied:
you are in Donald MaxwelPs tent.
This was the nearest place where we
could bring you at the time of the &C.
cident."
For a moment vestige Of color ap.
peared in Bascom's face, and he whis-
pered hoarsely:
"Why didn't you take me homer"
"Well, we were afraid to move you
until the doctor had examined you
Thoroughly"
The patient closed his eyes YEARLY.
1t was evident that he was growing
weaker, and just as the doctor return
ed, he again lapsed into unconscious
ness. The doctor felt of Bascom's
pulse, and sent Maxwell hastily for
Doctor Field for consultation. For fif-
teen minutes the doctors were alone
in Bascom's room, and then Doctor
Field called Maxwell in and quietly
informed Maxwell that the warden had
lost so much blood from the wound in
the wrist that there was danger of
immediate collapse unless they resort,
ed to extreme measures, and bled
some one to supply the patient. To
this Maxwell instantly replied:
Il am strong and well. There is no
reason why you should hesitate for
moment. Send for your instruments
at once; but my wife must know moth.
ing of it until 1t is all over with. Tell
Mrs. Burke to take her over to Thun-
der Cliff for an hour or two, on the
preteXt of getting some bedding. Yes,
insist on having my own way, and
as you say, there is no time to be
lost"
Doctor Field took Mrs. Burke aside,
and the women Immediately departed
for Thunder Cliff. The necessary in,
| struments were brought, and then the
| three men entered the sick room.
In about twenty minutes Maxwell
| came out Of the invalid's room, assist,

Bascom's color began slowly to re.
turn; his pulse Quickened, and DR..

| "Well, think the old chap is going
to pull through after all; but 1t was a
mighty close squeak"
Meanwhile the messenger who had
been sent out to Willow Bluff to ap-

But we were something more than
friends"
"Who told you? You can't believe
all you hear in a town like this. Maybe
some one was foolin' you"
II ought to know what am talking
about. He accepted our hospitality at
Willow Bluff, and was so attentive
that people began to make remarks"
well, people have been maxim re-
marks ever since Eve told Adam to
put his apron on for dinner. Any fool
can make remarks, and the biggest
fool is the one who cares. Are you
sure that you didn't make any remarks
yourself, Virginia?"
Virginia instantly bridled, and look
ed the picture Of injured innocence.
Certainly not!" she retorted. do
you think that would talk about such
delicate matter before others?"
"Oh no; 1 suppose not. But you
could look wise and foolish at tho
same time when MaXwell's name was
mentioned, with a coy and kittenish
sir which would suggest more than ten
volumes of Mary Jane Holmes"
"You are not very sympathetic, Mrs.
Burke, when l am in deep trouble. 1
want your help, not ridicule and
abuse.'
well, l am sorry for you, Virginia,
in more ways than one. But really I'd
like to know what reason you have to
think that Donald Maxwell was ever
in love with you; suppose that's
what you mean"
Virginia blushed deeply, as became
gentle maiden of her tender years,
and replied:
"Oh, 1t is not question of things
which one can easily define. Love is
vocal without words you know"
Him! You don't mean that he made
love to you and proposed to you
through a phonograph? You know
had some sort of idea that love that
was all wool, and yard wide, and
meant business, usually got vocal at
times"
But Mr.. Maxwell and were thrown

Many modish garments for daytime
wear carry q Chinese note, minor or

the tendency to favor these things Is
even more pronounced.
The sketch illustrates a boudoir suit
combining a richly embroidered little
mandarin coat and comfortable little
ankle-length trousers cut after the
Chinese fashion. quite straight and in

coat proper may be Chinese blue satin

sers. As shown. a three-inch-wide
band Of blue finishes the trousers, but

with blue and a band of motifs Of
metal thread embroidery furnishes the
decorative feature.
Trousered boudoir garments are de-

dition to the Chinese and Japanese
effects, gorgeous Turkish trouser
boudoir costumes are shown and other
bifurcated garments for negiigee wear
show old-fashioned frilled pantalets of
ankle length, accompanied by silk or

It Is amusing to note the number OF

wraps.

Boots are just as important N ever.
though skirts certainly do cover them
a deal more than last season. Tho
younger women have almost an dis

sees white buttoned boots and gray

material.
