What's in a
Name?
BY FREDERICK HART

g. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
"Oh, dear!"
The words sounded much like some
thing a great deal stronger, If it had
not been impossible TO connect the
Idea of strong language With Margaret
Davis. She was not at all the sort of
person one would suspect of using any
words stronger than the above quoted
expletiye, and yet it did sound sus-
piciously strong when she said it.
Something was evidently wrong with
her world.
"Oh, dearp
No doubt about 1t this time. Some
thing was wrong and Margaret didn't
care who knew it.
1t was four O'Clock on the afternoon
Of January l, 1922. New Years day,
when the world takes on new lease
Of existence, and every person feels
as though he were given a fresh start.
On this day of all days it seemed
strange that pretty girl should ex-
press such apparent dislike for things
as they were.
But Margaret had her reasons.
1t was her Uncle Emersons best
friend who was at the bottom of the
affair. Uncle Emerson was a dried
up, squeaky-voiced sort Of person, who
sent Margaret present twice a year
on her birthday and on Christmas
and who otherwise played no part in
her scheme of things; she had not
seen him for years.
But it appeared that Uncle Emer-
son had friend-"a very close and
valued friend" he had stated in his
letter to her; and he had, with mad
dening avuncular oOmplacency, told
this friend to invite Margaret to make
a call on him on New Years after
noon. Worse-he had accepted for her,
and then written TO say that he had
told his friend to expect her. This
letter came on the same day that the
friends" invitation had arrived.
She knew the friends" address but
not his telephone number and there
was not enough time to write and de-
cline Uncle Emerson had simply ar
ranged matters without consulting her,
and there was nothing TO do but go
through with it. She looked forward
to al afternoon spent in the company
of some snuffy old man who would
prate of the days gone by-whO might
even pat her cheek in a Senile way.
But If he does that" thought poor
Margaret, II shall scream and bite p
1t did not appear to be a promising
afternoon for her, but neither could
the friend look forward tch pleas

Margaret blushed to the eyes. She
mad evidently been thinking aloud and
this impertinent youth had listened
Il beg your pardon" she said freez-
1ngly, but l called In answer to a
letter from my uncle to see his old
friend, Mr.. Farquharson, not to discuss
furniture with-with his secretary"
she finished awkwardly, guessing at
the probable occupation of the young
man. IF Mr.. Farquharson is indis-
posed, Will You be SO good as to tell
him that | called and that l am sorry
that | could not see him" She turned
to go. The young man took a swift
step forward
Miss Davis" he said earnestly,
please don't go. Mr.. Farquharson
Will be delighted to see you. To tell
you the truth, he did not expect such
young and-such a young lady to
call. From your uncle's description of
you, you We're quite different from
what | see you to be-"
Margaret's eyes blazed. Then she
suddenly broke into laughter.
Il confess that l don't look forward
to the meeting any more than Mr..
Farquharson,' she said. Uncle evil
IDENTIFY told him things about me, things
that aren't So I'm not a hOrrid, old,
snuffy person like uncle, and I'm
afraid that Mr.. Farquharson won't
like me-"
He likes you very much, indeed"
said the young man calmly. HE
thought that you would be a horrid,
old, snuffy person, and he was pre-
pared for a dreadful afternoon. l am
Mr.. Farquharson, and l came so close
to your uncle by helping him in some
of his antiquarian research work; and
| have been meaning to decorate this
room ever since | came into the in
heritance of this house; and if you
will come with me to the sun parlor,
which is really quite attractive, we
will have tea"
Margaret followed him in a daze.
In daze she was ushered into most
attractive little sun room; In a daze
she was introduced to q beautiful,
white-haired old lady, who was Mr..
Farquharson's mother; in daze she
drank ner tea. But afterward, when
she and the no longer dreadful Mr..
Furquharson had had mutual explana-
tons and much comparing of letters
and great deal of laughter, and she
had promised to so to the theater with
him very soon and let him come to
call on her, and a great many other
things had happened which showed
pretty clearly that Uncle Emerson's
friend had no intention of letting I'm
Gle Emerson's niece get away from
him, she made a confession.

Pledged to Old
Orion
By MARIE LA ROGUE


e. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
Ii was obvious to Helen Granger
as she turned In at the gateway of
16 Cottage lane that the small bun
galow there had just been vacated.
Although it was cold New Years
day, the door and windows were
open, papers and excelsior were
strewn over the porch and path.
Helen mounted the porch steps and
walked IN the open door. She
found rather disconsolate looking
young man within piling some books
from a built-in bookcase into a hamper
Oh the floor.
Il found you just in time" said
Helen ioyOusly. You see, Tn one
OF the collectors for" She paused
and looked at the man, who had
turned and faced her with a quizzical
smile on his good looking face ''Y Ou're
Mr.. Robert Jones, | believe"
He nodded as if not too proud to
boast the identity. More bills" he
sighed, digging hand mechanically
into his pocket.
Its not exactly a bill. AS said,
] am one of the volunteer collectors
for the Orion University alumni
fund. Your name was given to me
as one of the men who had pledged
money for the fund, TO be paid be-
fore Christmas and hadn't" She
hesitated, not liking to give offense,
sand hadn't come across" she added
quickly.
How much had I pledged?" asked
the man with a sigh.
Helen consulted a notebook In her
handbag. "A hundred dollars" she
read from the list of delinquents I'm
sorry-but that was the amount"
That's quite a large sum for poor
devil that has had to sell his furniture

ure, she thought vengc as she
pulled on her gloves.
The name of Uncle Emerson's friend
was George Farquharson, Esq. This
much Uncle Emerson had stated in his
letter, and the name did nothing to
improve his standing in Margaret's
mind. She set out for her cali In a
very unpleasant frame of spirit.
The house was one of those brown
stone front affairs that are exactly
like every other house in the block.
She rang the BELL half prepared to
leave a card and flee, but the door
opened before she could get at her
cardcase and very old, very solemn
looking man servant Stood before her
Miss Davis? Mr.. Farquharson is
expecting you. Will you step into the
reception rOomT'
Margaret did as she was bid. The
reception room was a depressing cham
Der, with high ceiling and old-fash-
Toned, dark furniture. 1t was not
cheerful. Margaret made mental notes
Of what she would do if she had a
chance at that room She rose and
wandered about. looking at this and
that horror of the early Sixties, and
her spirits sank even lower. Then
she scarcely knew how it came about
she felt that some one else was in
the room, and turned to see q Young
man regarding her with friendly
smile
Margaret was in no friendly mood.
and she didn't return the smile. She
merely regarded the young man freez-

orchards.
When Helen did appear, she came
running breathlessly and ordered her
employee TO come down from the lad
der. An open letter fiuttered in her
hand what in the world does this
mean?' she said accusingly. Here is
a letter signed Robert Jones, class of
1915 but it's not your writing. And
it couldn't be from you, anyway, be-
cause it contains check for a hun
dred dollars. The note says: L am
sorry to send in my pledge money at
this late date"
The fruit picker put a hand to his
brow meditatiyely and left upon its
moist surface smudge of peach stain.
There must be some mistake some
where" he said. Perhaps there are
two Robert Joneses That's probably
K. There must be two Robert Joneses."
But don't you know whether there
were two Robert Joneses in your class,
silly?" asked the girl. She had be-
come very well acquainted with the
impecunious Orion graduate and
dared to call him silly if she chose.
Further explanation was unneces-
sary, for not far off came the sound
OF the voice of Tom Granger, Helen's
brother. "Say, Helen" said Tom com
ing in quick strides, heres good news.
l stopped at the Orton club on my way
home from the office Lawrence Car
ter has come across with his check
for $4,000 to swell the fund. They
have been hoping he would. That's
quite lot, even for a bloated bond
holder like him. Good Lord" Tom
Granger stood still and turned visibly
white as his hand ciutched his sisters
shoulder for support. He was look
ing at the begrimed peach picker be-
fore him.
"Why, bless my eyes Lawrence
Carter How did you drop in here?"
Lawrence Carter? echoed Helen
weakly, and she in turn laid a droop-
port.
Il was just going to tell YOU"
stammered Mr.. Carter, the bloated
bondholder, just referred to. But
Tom here interrupted my explanations.
Yes, l am Lawrence Carter, and after
that letter from Robert Jones l wFs
going to tell you" He put his grimy
hand over the small one grasping his
sleeve and drew it close to him.
You see you just took it for
granted that / was Robert Jones. He
had been living in a bungalow that l
happened to own and when he fell
down financially last year he gave it
up and-well, l was sorry for him
and went to help him start off. The
books | bought, because / knew he'd
want them back. l was putting them
in hamper, l believe, when you
called. | thought you were col
lector. There had been a few and
when | asked you what you wanted
to collect it was because l had rather
interested myself in Roberts affairs. |
always liked him lot. Now he's
got on his feet again. Bully for
Robert"
But why did you come over here
TO pick peaches?" said Tom Granger,
still mystifed.
because it seemed to me TO be the
best opportunity I'd ever have to get
better acquainted with the most
charming young woman l ever met"
said Lawrence Carter, bowling with
mock seriousness at Helen, though he
would not let go her hand, and she
was blushlng furiously.
"And to cap the climax you, Law
renee Carter, sen, in a check for $780,
00O-after the $4,000 you sent last
year?" Tom pressed on.

81 did" said Lawrence. Don't
thank me. Thank this plucky little
sister of yours, who has worked
harder for old Orton than the rest of
us put together. Ii was her shining
example that made me do it. She
half promised to marry Inc when she
thought / was Robert Jones. She
isn't going to throw me down now, is
she?"
And there before the astonished
Tom. Helen. whom Tom had always
thought of as bully sister, but not
much of catch with the other men,
was swept into the embrace Of her
future husband.

ingly and said: where is Mr.. FarQu-
harson?"
The young man looked embarrassed.
This is Miss Davis, isn't it? Er-er-
Mr.. Farquharson is-well, he" he
stopped, evidently at a loss.
Perhaps I'd better 60" she said.
IF Mr. Farquharson isn't we'll"
The young man interrupted.
Il quite agree with you" were his
amazing words. This room would
look better with those heavy curtains
out and some cheerful furniture in it,"

II hope 1t doesn't scare you now"
replied the young man.
Margaret merely shook her head
at the time; but thi&&ing it over after

which was fortunate, as she soon sub
stituted it for her own.

were that the voters had taken the
benches OF two Of the courts of the
county from politics and placed them
upon an independent platform.
Piling up vote that showed his
strength among the voters Of the
county is J. Fred Bingham, Dem

was the outstanding feature Of the

the tremendous majority Of S96 in
the 90 precincts reported, and th!s
