why, old Mrs. Cath goes so far as to
claim that her religions color. That
our lives are made or marrcd by the
color of our surroundirgs-har

in deep thought Zack said: austin
my boy, you've got to jar them Caths
out of their colorful religion"
But how?"
"Set tight" Zack said. "Ill think
it out. And then you do just exactly
as tell you"
Two days later painters were seen
about the Birch house, and they be-
gan to apply yellow paint assiduously.
1t was q great improvement, for the
house had long had quite a shabby
look. Different people stopped Austin
to comment on the improvement of
the place. Even Culla paused to say
in passing: Great improvement,
Austin"
THANK you." returned Austin non
committally.
When the body Of the house was all
painted the whole neighborhood was
shocked to see the men spreading
bright blue paint on cornice and
castings. But to all comments Austin
turned a deaf ear. The passers-by
thought the very worst had happened,
when the painters began to hang the
blinds back on the windows. The
blinds, too, were blue, and such a

glaring, brazen blue had never been
seen before on the outside OF any
house. Culla refused to speak TO Aus
tin when she met him on the street.
Two more days passed and Culla
still refused to speak to Austin. Old
Mrs. Bunts, watching from behind
closed blinds, confided to her crony.
Mrs Coons. that Austy Birch amt
carried a single offering across the
street to the Caths in more than 10
days"
One morning when the sun was
filling the whole street with an un-
usual warmth for that time of the
year. Austin appeared with paint pail
and brush and began to paint the big
double front doors of his house. After
he had applied the brush vigorously
for a few moments he stepped aside
apparently to view his handiwork and
IL was revealed to all watchers that he
was painting the door a glowing.
burning scarlet! He stood a moment
in grave thought. Just as he re.
sumed his work Culla Cath came run
ming across the street.

crazy? Don't you know that you are
doing a horrible thing? Oh. it's per-
pectlv awfulr' She actually wrung
her hands in the stress of her agita-
ton.
Don't you like 'em. Culla?" Austin
spoke calmly. although his heart was
beating like mad. "Why. to my notion
it's neat, but not gaudy. Something
different, you know. Cubistic--or--
or-futuristic, or whatever you call it
in art"
"Neat--gaudy" cried Culla. "Why,
mother says If she wasn't so miserable
with neuralgia and dared to go out in
this cold air she-why. she'd run
away"
run away, would she? Well I'm
sorry to hear she is having neuralgia,
but these cheerful colors ought to
warm her up-some."
"Oh. they have" Culla was almost
hysterical with agitation. "She is
beside herself. Why. I never saw
mother so angry in all my life--she
says she can't live IL she's got to face
these awful colors on this house all
the rest of her days."
"Well, she don't have to-" Austin
laid down his brush and turned to
look Culla squarely in the face. "All
she's got to do, Culla. is to consent
to your marrying me. When she
does-and mind you. not until she
does-IH change the paint on this
house to any color she may choose

~ the old Birch homestead, as IL
"A was called by everybody in
4 L Centerville. He was a fine,
middle-aged man. In fact he
was just the kind Of man who might
have been expected to win the heart
Of any woman he sought. But, strange
to say, this was not the case.
When Austin Birch was 20 he had
fallen desperately and finally in love
with Culla Cath. He still loved her
and he had tried to win her by every
art known to lover. Culla would
have mono Of him. She lived with her
mother in a pretty white house which
stood directly across the street from
the old Birch homestead. Culla was
pretty woman only a year or two
younger than Austin. She, 100, might
have married any one Of dozen ad.
mirers, but she shook her head to all
their pleadingS and continued to i've
on with her mother. OF course, Culla
was always friendly in neighborly
way. She was also duly appreciative
of the many gifts OF grapes, apples
and fresh vegetables which austin
was constantly carrying across to
the Cath home, but her thanks were
usually politely couched In such
phrases as: "Those grapes you
brought over were perfectly lovely,
Austin. Mother enjoyed them so
much. She wished me TO thank you
for her." Surely even the most ar
dent lover could get but small COM
fort from this.
Finally in desperation Austin took
his problem to old Mr.. Burns, who had
had three fine wives and was sup
posed to be an authority ON 1natri-
monial subjects.
"Oh. say" Austin tried to keep his
voice level. "Just how can a man 60
to work to win, the only woman in
the world?"
"The only woman in the world?"
chuckled old Mr.. Burns with sly
twinkle in his eyes. well, Austin,
that's a pretty big order seeing that
I've already had three of the very
best women in the world myself. And
guess every man feels the same way.
Who's bothering your"
1.-THE only woman in the world,
Zack for me-" Austin said, quietly,
"and so far as I can learn she don't
even know exist"
"Then you must make her." Zack
Burns said firmly. Judging from
what I've seen and heard the woman
you're talking about is C,illa Cath.
Now she amt in my line at all, but
every man to his taste. She's a fine
woman, all right, but she's got some
fool notion that she's little too good
for common use. II I amt mistaken
It's all her mas doings. She raised

her daughter. She's educated her in

his brush and began 20 apply red
paint with broad even strokes.
Culla drew q long breath. She stood
in confusion. Then swiftly turning,
she raced home. Austin looked at her
from over his shoulder. He felt doubt,
gloom. Was 1t indeed true. as old Mr..
Burns said, that Culla really cared for
him and 1t was all her mothers
doings?
For a week Austin saw nothing of
Culla or Mrs. Cath. The shades of the
front windows on the Cath house were
drawn down until not even a ray of
light shone forth. even at night. One
early morning Austin. harassed by
the witticisms of his neighbors, was
beginning to feel he had merely made
himself ridiculous. He was on the
verge of summoning the painters back
to undo their work when he was
called to the telephone.

you to come right over-will you
