When linda was twenty-five she al
most yielded. Someone had that day
asked Hilda her age. She had candid
ly admitted she was twenty-five.
Later in the afternoon she had
heard that "if Hilda admitted to twen-
ty-five she must at least be thirty-two."
Hilda felt old then, discouraged. But
she didn't quite accept Horace.
From then on Hilda's age was very
uncertain. Horace was fearful, lest
at first Hilda drop year every year.
She could never claim eighteen, or
even twenty, even though she was very
young In appearance, bafilingIy so.
Hilda had been thirty for the past
three years now, and still Horace was
around, admiring her, loving her, more
and more all the time.
But the strain had almost been too
much. Horace had loved Hilda q very
long time. Hilda had taken q long
time alone to become thirty. He
would ask her once more to marry
him, then he would 20 away, never to
return he told himself dramatically.

her the Christmas bouquet for the

And at last Horace knew bliss.
Shyly, sweetly, clingingly, and with
such slow yielding awakening Hilda
was in his arms. and as size lifted hen
lips to his she mur:nured:
"And you'll take care of ne, won't
you, Horace? And always be good to
me? For Tn only a Child, Horace
dear. and / mustn't, l mustn't ever be
disillusi0Eed."
And Horace was filed with Christ

/ they really posted them from New
York and Chicago and Seattle ant
Hohokus, New Jersey, and hoped tina
they could fool the receiver of the
postcards that these cards had moi
been at one time gifts to them.
And he did dislike those who would
say to him after he had had his last
years suit nicely spOnged and pressed
"How that has worn! 1t has certain.
ly done you good service, and it doesn't
look bad at that"
But especially he disllked and felt
as though he could almost choke those
who were given to telling others to
count their blessings, while they
mOaned and groaned and whined and
whimpered themselves at all times
and about all things.
These were his special averslons,
but Hilda was different. Hilda never
Jared. Hilda was always sweet.
Though Hilda did not, or had not as
yet agreed to, marry him, and he had
asked her many a time.
The second time Horace had pro-
posed had been when Hilda was six
teen and they were sitting out the sup
per dance at one of the Christmas hOl-
iday parties. Horace was two years
DldeI than Hilda.
II couldn't marry you," Hilda had
said, "as you are really nothing but
child. / need a man more my own
mental equal"
"But you're two years younger than
[ am" Horace had protested.
"True," Hilda had admitted, "but a
woman is always SO much older than
a man." Hilda called herself a wom-
an from the time she was sixteen until
she was twenty-one.
Again and again Horace proposed.
Hilda always put him off, but she al
ways seemed to come back to him az
ter each wOrrisOme filtration. Per-
and devotion were Horace's
strong points. and every Christmas as
he took her the yellow rosebuds, which
was his choice of a Christmas bouquet,
he proposed anew. 1t was Horace's
annual declarationl
Hilda loved the flowers-the rose
buds were always so pretty and Hor-
ace had so much taste. Always in the
center was spray of holly, and they

For one thing, he was too happy.
And for anOther-he dent think
ages amounted to anything anyway.
Everyone was as old or as young as
they wanted to be!

to marry him. He could afford Christ

Horace when she grew up If he'd give
her plenty of hot buttered popcorn and
Christmas candy elephants In the
meantime. It was strain on Hor-
aces slender allowance and 1t was not
always easy to get candy elephants
but he succeeded on the whole.
There was something so nice about
Hilda. She never made remarks as
some girls did, and men too, for that
matter, which were so annoying.
When she rang up on the telephone
she did not say "Guess who's talking.
now, just guess" and disguise her
voice. She always considered wheth-
er a person might not very easily be
busy, and so did not have what some
considered little Joke.
There were some kinds Of people
Horace couldn't endure. There were
those who said, for example: IF the
lightning is going to strike you, It's
going to strike you. It's absurd to
say you're afraid Of It,"
Then there were those who would
say In answer to a query about the
temperature Of the ocean and its con-
dition for swimming:
'The water? Why, the waters wet"

The Daily Short Story

| and try to hide behind her, and
just hold his breath so he would
not scream.
And the tall boy would laugh
not aloud, but looking straight in
! Alden's eyes, so he knew the tall
boy thought he was only baby
Now, one of the most beautiful
places in the park was path along
the river. Mother and Alden al
ways walked there, and so did the
raggedy girl with the dark-eyed
baby. So, too, did the tall boy with
the dog!
One very warm day mother
thought it would be nice to sit on
a bench there. While they sat
watching the river, and the birds,
and the squirrels, the raggedy girl
brought the baby. She fixed the
go-cart in the incest place against
a tree, right close by the water.
Then she sat down, on the grass.
! with an old. worn book. and began
to read. The baby was asleep, so
all was we'll.
Suddenly the great, dark eyes
opened and without making a
sound for the raggedy girl to hear,
the baby tried to sit up. The 60
cart seemed smaller than ever, be-
cause the baby had been growing
fast; and she almost managed to
sit up straight
1t all happened so quickly! The
go-cart tipped, and the baby went
right over into the water! Alden
screamed, and mother screamed,
and the poor raggedy girl was
frantic.
But the great, shaggy dog was
coming! In two leaps he reached
the water! Taking the baby's
clothes in his strong white teeth,
he brought the baby safely to the
grassy bank, and gently laid it
down.
Mother had come and put her
arms around the raggedy girl, and
Alden was close by. As the dos
came out of the water all dripping
!. wet, with the baby. Alden looked
right into his eyes, forgetting this
time. to be afraid.
And in the eyes of the great
!. shaggy dog, Alden saw the same
light that was always in Mothers
eyes, and that he had seen in the
eyes of the raggedy girl, the ligh,
that he could not name, but thai
was SO beautiful!
And now. when Alden walks II
the park, he meets the great
shaggy dog. he pats the big, tawn,
head. and says.
Dear old Hero!"

Harding Through Pardoning.

It has been announced by President Harding
that while he is in the White house he will not
pardon any criminal who is in restraint because
he had preached the destruction Of the govern
ment by force. Whether or not the president
made this assertion before or after Eugene
Dsbs made his talk which has sonred the rest
Of US against hardening men convicted as Debs
has been convicted. such utterances as Debs
gave voice to are not calculated to get others
of his kind of ccnvicts out Of Jail by pardon.
We have had much msudlin sympathy expressed
in and out of the papers for Debs and his con-
vict companions. Little children have been sent
to the president delegations have urged the
pafdoning of political prisoners.
Debs, whose mouth had put him in trouble,
began to talk Of going to Russia shortly after he
had been released. Nobody objected to his ex-
patriation. II he desires to talk overthrow Of
governments by force that is the platform he
should select His conceit and the adulation
Of his followers betrayed him into loose and
dangerous talk again. The general conclusion
IL that he had better have been left to sweat out
his sentence. Those who defy the government
of the whole people and urge its overthrow are
entitled to no sympathy when an outraged law
puts its heavy hand upon them in wise restraint.
TIE presidents conclusion that he is through
pardoning such convicts as Debs will meet gem
eral approval. Those who have been pardoned
do not seem to have learned respect for law in
prison or to hold gratitude toward the govern
ment that pardoned them.

n Characterization is an influence that has
done much in the past few years to injure the
standing of baseball as the great national pas
time. The latest contribution il deal by which
the: New York American team hopes to cinch
thesleague pennant this season. Two stars have
been purchased from the skidding Red Sox at an
enormous figure. In the mind Of the average
fan this settles the American league race. The
sporting chance has been removed Hence the
absence Of the interest and tension 50 essential
to the stability OF the game.
I Men engaged in professional baseball ought
to recognize the dangerous drift Baseball has
endured through all these years because it was
always recognized as standing beyond the en-
tangling tentacles of the gambler, Jet this para
site did manage to almost wreck the Chicago
White Sox few years ago. In the major leagues
the club with the most money Is able to get
the best players While necesoarily there must
be money considerations in the sale Of players,
the men engaged in catering to the lovers of this
form of sport ought to see that commercial COM
petition will inevitably result in placing the
game on plane where it WILL not be the city
with the best team that will win, but the one
With the most money. That is not In keeping
with the sporting spirit. 1t violates all the
rules Of the game as the real tan has come to
love IT.
When team has developed q star player
he should remain with his team and help it to
the end OF the season. unless his going will not
affect the effectiveness Of the club The Yam
KEGS have gone out deliberately and supplanted
capable players with stars who arc called in to
contribute to the finish Of the race. It's like
catering horse In the last heat OF race,
