Copyright. 1922. Western Newspaper Union
Yes, we gossip in our village, but
We are not remarkable for that. We
are perhaps no better, but certainly
no worse than a thousand other vii
lagos located up and down the length
and breadth Of the country. And the
old maids, as we still ungraciously
call our unmarried women who have
passed thirty, naturally the sub
ject Of our conjectures.
Naturally therefore, the tongues
started moving when Lee Enfield be-
gan calling on Miss Prue. You see,
Lee was ne'er-dO~wcol o. about Miss
Prue's age. Say each was thrty-two,
and You don't do them any Injustice.
Lee had tried his hand At almost
everything before he came into his
unCle's money and settled down try
ing to make a living OFT Of twenty
acres of poor soil that had never
raised much except goats and build
ing lots which nobody wanted.
And Prue Dennison, who kept house
for her bachelor uncle, was expected
some day to come into his cool fifty
thousand dollars.
Bill DennisOn was a skinfint, but
every one knew that he had his pile
safely slowed away somewhere, though
no one knew where. But you can tell
rich man BY the look Of him Bill
Dennlson had the money all right, and
folks said Prue was lucky girl to
have been adopted by him when her
father died pauper, especially since
expect any one to marry her for love.
We watched the counting, and it
certainly looked as If it were the real
thing Perhaps Prue Dennison had
never had sweetheart before.
Everybody feels kindly toward low
ers. And Prue Dennison seemed TO
live for Lee; she grew quite pretty,
too so that you would hardly have
known her for the same girl.
AS for Lee. nobody bothered much
about him He was after the old
mans money sure enough. Did Prue
know it? That's where the psychology
of the thing comes in. She knew it
and tried not to know it, and some
times the fear that it was her money
Lee wanted, and not her brought a
look to her face that no woman ought
to show. She certainly was crazy
about the fellow, and the speculation
was how soon Lee would put down
his cards, and whether he meant to
wait until old Bill Dennlson died, in
stead Of risking everything.
Ola Bill DenniSon was my ueigbbor.
and naturally it was to me Prue came
when he had his stroke that morning.
She came running in, white as u sheet,
and begged me 10 come over. Of
course | went. | was there most of
that day and the next until he died,
and Prue asked me if l wouldn't sleep
in the house for night or two until
everything was over.

GIVE PLAYLEI
"The Bin DIS Of KiIIingsworth" To
Be Presented By East Ameri-
Gus School

"The Birds of Killingworth, " un-
der the direction of Miss Naomi
Wright, teacher in the East Amer
ieus school, is being rehearsed daily
for presentation Friday evening in
the high school auditorium.
More than 100 children are includ-
ed in the little play, which has in
corporated in its cast of characters
flowers, birds, fairies, and spring,
representing a lovely little scenic
play in the bird kingdom.
The synopsis is pleasing, and re-
lates how the people Of Killingworth
met in session for the purpose of
cxtermindtind the birds from the
municipality, depicting them as pests
and not to be endured A few bird
lovers in the meeting protested, adj
vocating life for the little tribe as
the best friends of the common
wealth. Their protest being oyerrul-
ed, a penalty of 8 cents is placed
on the head of every bird in the
woodland, and young boys provided
with rifles and sling shots for their
destruction.
Complete anuihilation ensues, with
the result that the farmers, garden
er5 and residents Of KilIIuFwoTth are
ov5run with insects. flies and yari.

had heretofore rid them of. Spring
