Everyday Adventures
Thoughts of a House For Sale

I'm just about as popular as
bungalow in the Great American
Desert. Nobody ever drops in on
me. No callers, no attention, no
signs of life-nothing.
I've been standing around this
way for months, now. My owner
put For Sale sign on me, but 1t
might as well say Wet Paint for
all the people it brings to look at
me. And I'm a good house, too
I've made families very happy in
my time.
"Hello-I can't believe this! My
owner is bringing man and his
wife to look at me- Don't tell me
that-what's that?
ooh, that's different My owner
put little ad about me in the Pal
ladiums Classified Section yester-
day and now this man has decided
to buy me. II seems easy-when
they use Palladium ads,"

at 1t again. but blew OUT the light and
went 10 bed with her face turned from
the guilty reminder. And all night
long Flora McCray lashed herself for
the folly of the Girl in the Dark. As
she remembered it. she had made all
the advances; he had only been kind
and good TO her.
The next morning. all of Willow
Creek knew. thar John Howard had
taken Flora McCray to Robinson's the
night before, and that he was going
10 eat Sunday dinner with the Me
Crays that afternoon. But the town,
as usual, was divided. One-half
claimed that the McCrays had TO have
all Of Howard's money, or they would
fail; and the other half that John
Howard was going TO marry Flora Nc
Cray to keep the old man from prose-
cutting him for running off mortga ged
cattle and reporting them as dead.
And In the whole town no one could
have been so thoroughly surprised as
was Mr.. McCray, when his daughter
said TO him, Father, if Mr. Howard
says anything to you about me. you
win tal him-that-I cannot marry
him."
McCray and his daughter were walk
ing along the narrow, rough sidewalk
toward the church. when these words
were spoken. The mother had dropped
back, and was not in hearing distance.
McCray could not find voice for few
explanatory why's" and whats" be-
fore his daughter had said firmly, You
win be sure, won't YOU, father?" and
was waiting for her mother to catch
ap with them. After the service, the
women, Flora and her mother among
them, hurried home to attend to the
feast of the day.
AT the dinner table the young peo-
pie met for the first time that day.
Flora McCray felt keenly. and with
a twinge Of anguish, that the young
mans cordial suavity in greeting her
was only inspired by gratitude for her
generosity in releasing him from any
obligation.
She met his eye, and thought she
read there recollection of every
thing that had been. Then, as she
looked down and away, all the sweet
ness and unreality of the nights ride
was made real to her.

parlor, where they smoked and talked

Miss McCray was very hungry. 1t was
a new sensation to find herself a part

been only a spectator at such scenes.
And thus, with a mind isolated from

At first they chatted on about the

McCray tried again and again to

were tantalizing. Little by little, did
the wizard Of the night weave her
fancIes and then herself into the Soof

she with a stranger, but she was her
self a stranger TO herself. 1t may have
been the utter lonesomeness of the
night that drew her close TO him, but
she came, and was not afraid.

again tucked the wraps closer than
