She flashed him a defiant glance.

Although the dress was pretty before
it was Numbered; it was much pretticr
afterwards, and Laura made up her
mind to wear it, just to see what the
crowd would sayl
Thursday night
Laura went to the dance hall alone /;
and a little later than the other girls,
for she wanted to see what the general
impression of her old fashioned dress
on all who were there would be.
She removed her wraps in the dress

from her forehead, threw a pale pink
over her shoulders, arranged her
in her belt, and went into the

Down In the Heart of a Trunk

haps you could find something suitable
in the trunk Aunt Bess left you"
"Oh, that trunk" snapped Laura an
grily. Il wish Aunt Bess had never
wiIled it TO me" Then she left her
mother and went to her room.
Laura's father had been a carpenter,
and had kept his wife and daughter in
comfortable circumstances, but when
Laura was IA years old he died of pneu-
monia after a short illness of four days.
Mrs. Nelson was a clever seamstress,
and by careful planning and strict econ
omy managed to support herself and
Laura They lived together in a small
cottage, which, though humble, was neat
and pretty, and where Laura entertained
many friends, for she was very popular.
Among the many friends was Roy
Benton, the only son of the village doc
tor. He had been her "champiNa" since
early childhood, carrying her books to
and from school, while in the grades.

Insistently urged, Hart Winslow
yielded. He felt suddenly dazed and in

He had heard that Violet was married.
and he had not even felt a pang. Only
a dull regret that romance was not for
him after all.
In spite of his lethargy. the man from
the city enjoyed his Christmas dinner
and the warm hospitality of his old
friends. Violet, grown stout and ford,
beamed openly on him across the boun-
tifuI table. Her talk was all of her
home interests; her husbands work and
the clever development of her children,
"Harts started to run away from
home already" she said slyly; and she
and Pratt laughed loudly over the joke,

Well at last he was out of the reach
of all city sirens, and on his way to the
only life that had already called to him.
Hart leaped to the platform of his
home town station with the eager look
of a boy on his ruddy face The first
person he saw was an old school friend.

the plans for this flying trip, that a new
gold ring set with a reconstructed ruby
hanked by two small diamonds reposed
at this momen in a vest pocket.
Caught up by the whirl of city life.
Winslow had found no time before for
romance. He had almost forgotten
there was such a thing until one day,
he had looked into a pair of blue eyes
across the gray and gold spaces of the
Parish Waist Shop, and felt strange
thrills and tuggings at his hitherto
peaceful heart.
Winslow had gone thither in a quest
for advertising copy, representing one
of the metropolitan newspapers; and in
stead of the mature Madame Nadine,
here was a young woman, slender,
suaver with a crown of golden hair
which looked too good to be true, and
a pair of appealing blue eyes which had
learned the trick, WiHslow told himself,
to coax the dollars out of customers
purses.
But if it isn't queer, that girFs eyes

The Mystery of the Footprints

Mr.. Wood shook his head doubtfully.
81 can't believe it, Helen" he said. That
man wouldn't do a thing like that"
We'll, the axe is gone, and the track
is there, and ! guess that is enough"
sine said In a voice that left no room for
argument, but Mr.. Budd continued to
shake his head. His wife noticed how
ever, that a lock was purchased and the
door was locked that night.
The next morning being Sunday, Mr..
and Mrs. Budd, as was their custom
went to church. In the seat across from
them, Mrs. X. and two of the children
were seated, and Mrs. Budd's eyes occa-
~slonally strayed in that direction during

an" was her mental comment, 'sut the

was a cold and ~lifeless one. But, 81 am

a voice which passed fora friendly one,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-01-17

at once, asking this, that, and the other
of Roy Benton, but never waiting for
a reply.
As soon as Laura made her appear
ance, the bubbub ceased. All eyes were
upon her, filled with admiration and
surprise.
Roy broke the silence by walking up
to Laura, slipping her hand through his
arm, and turning to his friends said,
friends, meet Miss 1907 They all
broke into a laugh, and as the orchestra
began to play at that moment, Laura
and Roy had the first dance, together.
Not only the first, but many after, in
Guiding the last waltz, after which they
stroIled to her home under the light of
the pale moon.
Excise me for asking, Laurie" said
Roy, using the old name he had called
her IN days gone by, "but where did you
get that drcss?'
Laura told him all about the trunk

remind me of v%iolets,' he asserted and
SO gave credit for the thrills and tug
gings to the distant and hazily remem-
bered a~rtless sweetheart of bygone
days,
Il guess it's getting time for me to
marry" Hart decided. Give always in
tended to when l had the Opportunity,
But zone of your artificial city girls for
me! I'm a domestic man, I'm going to
live in the country. be a commuter, and
have a little wife who's a born home
maker"
So he wore his jauntiest most sophis-
tcated air in his interviews with Miss
Conway of the Paris Waist Shop. He
took her to luncheon twice, and then to
dinner followed by a cabaret show and
he behaved as nearly like a cynical,
blase man of the worlda he could.
And Clara CONWAY, lissome and
graceful in her smooth silk frock,
smiled ch%armingly and airily and re-
turned jest for jest, synicism for cynic-
ism.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-01-17

and as Mrs, X. smiled pleasantly, she did
not guess Mrs. Budd's real motive for
calling.
The following day, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Budd were seated at the table, there
came q knock at the door, and it was
opened by Mrs. Budd's brother, a shift
less sort of fellow, who>livcd a few
blocks distant. i've brought back your
axe, which I borrowed the other day."
he said, Nobody was at home when !

ing; / thought you wouldn't mind, be
cause HeleH>told me once that l might
take it. l intended to bring it back be-
fore this, and l hope | haven't incon-
veDienced you any"
Mr., and Mrs, Budd looked at each
other, Mrs. Budd a trile sheepishly, as
her husband replied "Oh, no, Jack, we
haven't been Inconvenience any" And
then he added-in an undertone.
Mrs, Budd hardly dared to face her

door?" she asked.
Nov, Helen, / can't believe that any
one has stolen that axe" he persisted.
Il don't believe that there is a person in
our whole neighborhood who would do
a thing as little and mean a that
well. Henry, I really don't like to be
too suspicious. so lets look around a
little" So saying, they went to the shed
and another search wa made, as fruit
less as the first. Suddenly Mrs, Woods
sharp eye discovered in the oft snow at
the edge of the path, a track made by
a new rubber, and she pointed at it tri-
umphantly. II was in the store the 9th
err day." she said, "and our neighbor was
there, buying a pair of rubbers. Now is
the mystery solved! ! am glad you
have learned your lesson, and you are
lucky to get out of it so easily. 1t is a
wonder that half of your woodpile isn't
gone, too"

just who among our n~eighbors are really
honest. Now there's those new people,
the ks, who live just around the corner
on b street. Mrs. Wilton was in
here this afternoon, aud she said that
they weren't in very good standing in
the town they came from and when l
asked her why she just shrugged her
shoulders. There are hve children, and
he surely must have a hard time feeding
and clothing so many. Now who knows
but what he would avail himself Of the
opportunity OF helping himself to a few
sticks of wood?"
"Shucks, Helen!! If you and Mrs.
Wilton would do something to help your
unfortunate neighbors instead of talking
about them"
There, thatll do, Henry! We won't
discuss that. Anyway theN putting of
temptation in their way is no way to
help them. But then l don't buy the
wood, so there's no reason why l should

and was always her escort to dances and
plays while they were in high school.
After high school days, however, they
began to drift apart. Roy left his home
town and went away to a military school
and had not been home for four years.
Naturally, Laura wanted to look her
prettiest."
In her room Laura cried resentfulIy
until her eyes were red and swollen. In
deed, she did not wish to be seen by Roy
at that moment. After she had claimed
down she thought of how hard her
mother had worked for her, and de-
cided to take her advice and look
through Aunt BcsS trunk.
There were many dresses which prob
ably had been very fashionable in their
day. but there was nothing that was
suitable for evening wear. At the very
bottom of the trunk, however, there
was a white wolfe dress. 1t had a yoke
of point lace. short, pulled sleeves, and

was prettiiy frosted and glistening in
the bright sunlight of a fair Christmas
day.
1t was a sudden and surprising i'm
pulse which had started this mar on his
way back to the town where he had
passed his boyhood and which he had
not visited for several years
There was no waiting parent or mort

hcient interest. but there might be a
waiting sweetheart. Yes, thinking it

ut is pretty" murmured Laura to
herself, land ! am going to try it on
About 10 minutes later she ran into
the sitting room, where her mother sat
knitting on an oliye-drab sweater. Her
cheeks were agiow with excitement, and,
dressed in the dress of the 10Th century,
she certainly looked like a picture.
Laura NeIsonT" gasped her mother.
Isn't it pretty, mother, deaT?"
Yves, Laura, it is. That dress was
always very dear to Aunt Bess. She
had worn it the night before Robert
Kingston, her soldier sweetheart, went
off to join the boys in blue in 1861. She
was to have married him but he fell at
Gettysburg. That is why she never
married"
"Oh, mother" said Laura, do you
suppose it would have the same effect
on"
