OF Course He Had Her Left

garden parties. For three months the
people who knew her and those who
lorged to know her were under a tre-
mcndous strain. OF these latter folk
Fanny Wheeler was one.
Fanny Wheeler had come to town
from nowhere. She always had been
poor; she had no prospects. Her hus-
band kept the grocery store. But Fanny
had ambition. She was a climber by
nature. First she climbed into the good
graccs of her neighbor, Mrs. Hallam,
and then by way of Mrs. Hallam she
climbed into that select organization
known as the Woman's Club. And now
by way Of the Woman's Club it seemed
that she was about to climb into the IA
vor of Mrs. Frederic Scott Dibble.
Fanny went home with her head i'll a
whirl. Sam found her flushed and pal
pitating when he returned to supper.
ooh, SAM" she cried. II wish you
could have seen her things and her pearl
necklace! If a single one of her dia-
monds had dropped i'll my lap you could
give up your old grocery store and !
could be a lady for the rest of my life"

for Fanny. She worshipped wealth and
the things of wealth. She looked upon
Mrs. Dibble as being beloved of for
tune, to be at onc respected and revcr-
cd. Ecr own life and pleasures dwin-
died as Mrs. Dibblc expanded before
her. She would have laid down her
best frock for the great lady ITO walk
upon.
Mrs. Dibble without doubt had taken
an immense fancy to Fanny. She found
i'll Fanny's exuberant youth and joyous
beauty an exhilaration that was bcnef-
cial as we'll as delightful. 1t seemed she
could not have enough Of it. She began
TO take Fanny out in her car, tosask her
to the house, to call upon her.
Soon Fanny found her whole time
engaged. She frettcd if she did not
hear from Mrs. Dibble. and anxiously
imagined that she had fallen from
grace. When she did hear she was too
excited to attend to minor matters. She
neglected her homework. Many a night
Sam came home to get his own supper.
"1'vc been with Mrs. Dibblc all after
noon," Fanny would say, land I'm tired

The Secret In Their Hearts

At school she was popular; and it
seemed to her classmates that no social,
reception or any sort of entertainment
was quite right unless Jean was there.
She graduated from the high school
and spent the summer before entering
college, sewing and studying. Her best
times were spent with her piano and
violin. On more than one pleasant aft
ernoon, with some companion, or some
times with a number of classmates, Jean
would tramp to the lake, there to spend
the time swimming or boating. All Of
her friends were treated alike by her;
she had many, but no special one. She
was just a happy girl, liked by all who
knew her.
Her friends were loath to have her
go, but the umrer passed, and just
four days after her farewell party she
had experienced her first day at Obcr-
lin College, where she was to take up

Liberty. Jeans partner at the table was
a farmer-a strengthening youth with
large straw hat, blue checked ovcralls,
tan shirt with sleeves rolled up, show
ing arms from which the summers tan
had not yet worn off.
Each tried to identify their friends
behind each of the masks. Believing
that no one knew her, Jean talked freely
of her home and high school doings.
Her farmer boy was very much inter-
estcd and asked many questions. In fact
they conversed so steadily that Al;ce's
attention was called that way, and she
felt glad that her guest was enjoying
herself so WE'LL:
After the last course had been served
and finished and they had unmasked,
Jean was kept busy as Alice introduced
her to this and that friend. jean was
eager to know her partner.

And'She Was a Lucky Girl

live and keep out of debt. They had
four ooms close to Fortner's, and Mrs.
Glyn kept them and made Loic's clothes
and her own when she was we'll enough.
Loic dreaded milk check" Saturday.
Especially she dreaded having to wait
upon old MI. Shad.
When she saw him worming his way
through the crowd toward her, she shud-
dercd with aversion. He was so ugly,
his worn fur coat smellcd SO horribly of
cow and there was tobacco juice in his
white whiskcrs. The other girls refused
to wait upon Mr.. Shad. Loie had be-
gun to wait upon him out of pity, and
now he would have no one but her.
There's your lamb!' Ella Lands
nudgcd Loie m~aliciously. Hes got
his eye on you already. Better look out.
Some day he'll kidnap you and carry
you home i'll the pocket of that old fur
coat"
"Oh, don't" Loie murmurcd. He'll
hear YOU" She glanced up with a
smile. After all, he couldn't help being

the little bell that called a clerk. rang,
and once he came by and spoke to her
sharply. "Most through there, Miss
Glyn?"
Loic was beginning to be scarlet but
she knew it was useless to try to hurry
old Mr.. Slad. She stood patiently an
swering his questions and showing him
more turkey red calico. Ella Lands,
slipping behind her, p;nchcd her.
Morgan Wright and his mother have
come in and I'm going to wait on them.
Don't you wish you were mc?" she whis-
pcrcd.
Across the crowd Loic could see Nor
gan Wright's beautifully tailored Shout
ders and his mothers sable furs. She
drew one quick breath, then became
calm again. She was a fool to let the
sight of him stir her like this. There
was more than the counter between
them. And though they had been in the
SAM set and he had appeared to be par
tial to her, that was three years ago,
when her father was living and she had

Sam rubbed his chin thoughttully.
"I've heard of such things" he said in
his low voice.
what things?" Fanny's tone had an
edge.
Sam sighed and shook his head. "Nev-
or. mind what. But it's all right, Fan
n.y." he said.
For ten days Fanny was completely at
Mrs. Dibble's beck and call. Every aft
ernoon she came home tired and peev-
ish. Every morning she oversight, while
Sam rummaged the larder for his soil
tary breakfast. But Sam was silent.
Sometimes, however, Fanny caught him
looking at her in a way that made her
more irritable than she was. .
Two days later Fanny came home at
noon. She walked into the house, sur
prising Sam, who sat drinking cold tea
and eating bread and butter and ham,
which he had brought boiled and sliced
from his own>store. II didn't hear the
car" he remarked, glancing up. "Forgot
anything? Going right back?"
Fanny shook her head, started to take

"Pshaw| said Sam. He smiled at
her. through his s~pectacles. San. was
too tired usually to show enthusiasm.
but he allowed Fanny to have her way.
I'D like to get some of her trade" he
added. "She just about keeps Banks 60
ing"
But Fanny was a thousand miles above
the grocery store just then sailing III the
ether of her own Imagination.
This was on Thursday. Next Thurs
day the Woman's Club called a special
meeting and elected Fanny Wheeler as
secretary. There was a whisper that
Mrs. Frederic Scott Dibble had suggest
ed this. "Oh. Sam! This is a step for
ward, indeed" Fanny sighed happily.
"You bet. Mrs. Dibble's housekecpcr
phoned in a $l3 order this morning" re-
piled Sam. But Fanny did not hear him.
When two weeks later Mrs. D;hblc in
vitcd the Woman's Club to a luncheon
at Green Flat Fanny went in a new
gown that made her look at once young,
msophisticated, and refined. Fanny was
amazingly pretty, with lots of animation.
Life began to be a fcvcrish dclusion
