Trick by State Official.

The "meanest merchant" has

Hewitt has the following to say
about this practice in a letter to
county unemployment chairmen:

sound In reply; her duty was done.
There was q delicious breeze stirring
up here in the mountains. infinitely re-
freShing after the hot day.
They turned north again, high IN the
hills, and ran between upland meadows
where the curly polled Herefords were
grazing. The grass was already brown.
and there was a scent of tar-weed and
clean country dust.
"I began to feel the utter delight of
getting to the ranch" Margaret OBJ
served. She was surprised at STAINS
expression of pleasure.
Are you so fond of it?"
81 don't think there's any place in
the world like i'll"
They could see the farm nova
typical, struggling. sun-burned Cali
tornia milk farm. But Margaret
thought it the most enchanting place
in the world. A childs heart, never
long lost to temperament like hers,
always seemed to return to her here.
She and Jim we're equally eager to get
into shabby old clothes and be of upon
the fascinating round of inspection
that was their first duty at the farm.
Today Mrs. Cutting and her elderly
guest joined them for the first stages.
They peered into the dim, warm
milking sheds. The cows were in the
stanchions; Lid eyes strained to see
them as the opening door let in a flood
OF mote-fllled sunlight. The Portu-
guese mixers sang as they worked.
They found Stan in one of the sheds
in delighted consultation with Bat
terSby, the superintendent, over a
springy little newborn calf.
Shes a beauty!" the superintendent
said, almost reverently. He picked the
ungainly baby up in his arms. The
mother followed, jealousy, as they went
out Of sight between the barns.
Margaret and Stan walked after the
others. 1t was one of her perfect hours,
when she was relaxed, at peace in mind
and spirit; and she had had sorrow
enough, suffering enough. to appre-
ciate 1t when 1t came. Utterly con-
tented, she followed STAR and Jim
about, commenting, exclaiming, adj
miring.

above the house, was full Lights

helped Nora settle him on for the light.
When she came out TO the sitting room
the air there was warm. too, but the
card table was set near an unlighted
fire. The mountain nights usually
turned chilly when full darkness came
on.
The older women were waiting. Mar
garet took her place and spread the
pack for the cut. Almost Immediately
Stan Joined them, and she saw that he
was in evening dress. He was going to
the Calverts', then. as Lee Calvin had
begged himi
A certain deep restlessness and dis
content seized her. She hated their
hold upon him. He was much too fine
for them. Why couldn't he be happy
here?
Stan. you needn's have dressed,
dear" said his aunt, passing her first
hand carelessly through her fingers
after asserting 1t and tanning it neatly.
Il may have to run up to San MAteo
tonight. Aunt Hat" He adjusted his
own cards with accustomed fingers.
Stanley" Mrs. Cutting ejaculted,
despairingly.
But not until midnight" he assured
her, soothingly. His aunt sighed and
murmured something about her own
selflshness where this dear, popular boy
was concerned.
The game went on. It was not mid
night when Mrs. Cutting. tired with
the unwonted exercise and the hot trip,
declared herself sleepy. And immedi-
ately the group dispersed. Margaret

and shakily restored again as a breeze
or o birds wing stirred the pale jade
surface. The water was so cleaI that
Margaret could see dark leaves resting
against the blue-painted bottom.
Beyond was the grove, where they
were to have supper in a little while.
Hang and his assistant were coming
and going with baskets and pots. A
great broiler of split chickens was al
ready sending an appetizfhg odor out
upon the air, and there was q ravishing
hint of coffee. Blue smoke rose up into
the clear, soft afternoon light: the sun
/ was not gone, but the rise Of noun
tains was breaking the fierceness of the
sunset, and the grove and the oaks
about the house were already in soft
blue shadow.
The two elderly women, the child
and the company of this friendly man
were enough for Margaret tonight. She
didn't like Stan, she told herself, when
he was with the idiots of his own set
But here in his simple clothes, sitting
on redwood log and picking a chicken
bone between gulps of coffee from an
enameled cup, he was oddly pleasing
After all, he was far better than the
unusual run of rich young men. 1t was
JuSt-it was just
She found it hard to define. But he
was little too much all things to all
men. His clothes we're too correct, his
manner too artfully adjustable. He
could be perfection with his aunt, re-
calling the late Ross Cutting with seri-
Gus interest and devotion, pleasing her
thoroughly with everything he found to
say. He could dance with a debutante
or with a graSS-widow of 40 with the
same attentive charm. He dressed for
golf, tennis, polo, yachting, hunting,
with unvarying negligent perfection,
and he seemed to change his nature
with his clothes.
Which was the real Stan? None of
them, Margaret fancied, but instead the
eager, responsive host of tonight
man whose Sun-tanned face was almost
ugly in its strength, and whose man
ner was entirely simple, like that of q
contented boy.
But after dinner her softer mood to-
ward him stlffened again. She had
taken Jim into the close, wood scented
bed room, in the warm dusk, and

cry7tI said he might 60 down with Stan
in the roadster. Let me see, I could
take him with me, in the PIERCE"
"I can take him." Margaret sug-
gested
"But you're going with Stan-oh, yes,
See!" said Mrs. Cutting, Frightening.
Take him with you in the roadster?
I see. Yes, do that"
The day was burning hot when Mar
garrett with the immaculate Jim in the
briefest of dark blue suits beside her,
reached the Country Club.
Hot, Dimski!" painted Margaret when
the. had found seats on the bleachers
and Jim was sprawling in his faV lite
attitude in her lap, where she could
kiss the tip of his ear now and then.
There were few cars parked beside
the nets, few women seated. and
groups we're forming and breaking, quite
Indifferent to the play. Men and women
who obviously wanted this particular
court as soon as the match was over,
were hanging upon q low fence, Jeal-
ously watching the rallies.
Jim instantly found the springing
white figure that was Stan, and shouted
a clear Hello, Uncle Stan!"
SSH Margaret said Stan paid
no attention until he had smashed
ball at Willy Priests feet. Then he
shouted back Hello, Jim; And to
Margaret he added: Five minutes!
It's a deuce set!"
Margaret nodded, conscious Of curious
eyes about her. She sat on, glad to
rest. She bowed to Jane Wylie and
Joan Bishop, bowed to Mrs. Priest and
the Tubbses and the Bristols.
"Frightfull" she said inaudibly when
they all called at her the single word
"Hot!"
The courts emptied, the two farther
contestants springing over the net. An
other quartet sauntered up, another
umpire mounted the box. The young
men raised their balls with q simple
touch of the racket's edge: sent a few
practice shots flying into the nets.
Before she had expected him, Stan
and the roadster appeared below the
bleachers Margaret helped Jim down
the big steps and smiled gravely at
Stan.
He had had a shower. His mouse
colored hair was slick under the cap
he raised. Two young women, wander
ing along, stopped by the low car.
90 would have given you and the
youngster lift home, Miss Yorke,"
said Hally Hyde Brown.

TUplands,'" Margaret explained, with

"Oh, but say, Stan, you're coming

woman In alarm.

Now look here, Stan" said Miss
Lee Calvin Grossly. You've got t.
come backl Now, iisten-listen---
She was over on his side of the, car
Her voice fell into one of low entfeRty
and reproach. Stan smiled indulgently,
as his brown, strong face considered
her agitated little flower-like one with
its trimmed eyebrows and Redeemed lips.
He had long nose, Margaret noted,
mouth. twitching now with amusement
at Lees agitation.
Mama was ready to skin me, any
way" Margaret heard her say. "She
hates Pierce, and she says the Calvert
parties have come to be perfect riots
Daisy positively will not go-there was
too much booze last Thursday didn't
touch 1t, but Madeleine Lake was ter
rible."
Cut it out and come down with us
to the ranch!" Stan suggested, wiping
some oil from his fingers with a hideous
rag. Margaret, now established with
Jim in the low seat, felt once more a
sort of sublime and scornful WEAKNESS
sweep over her. The ranch with its
peace and quiet was to be outraged by
the unexpected presence of this flapper |!
She would squeeze in here on the front
seat and absorb Stanley-not that 1t
mattered, but Margaret was so tired OF
them all!
stan, I'd adore it," Lee said, as
Margaret had known she would. Your
aunt would lend me nightie?"
Sure" said Stanley. But he had
not really meant the, invitation and
Margaret could tell by his tone that he
would like it.
Il can see it--tucks and embroidery"
said Miss Calvin with a laugh. Stan,
it's exactly what I want to do. can
cut the whole thing tonight" she said
plaintively.
Here, however, her friend lazily inter-
posed a firm you cannot! Why you
yourself asked the Baker girl to dinner

hands!" said Lee easily.

TEN days later trip to the ranch
was afoot., These were apt to
be trying times for Margaret,
4 for MRS. Cutting changed her
plans necessarily. On this par
ticular occasion Mrs. Cutting did not
make her final decision until some 20
minutes before they were actually sup
posed to be on their way.
"T think the Wylies' aunt, Miss Pot-
ter may go down with us. Miss Yorke, |"
she said anxiously. will that upset
everything?"
why, no." Margaret assured her
soothingly. I'VE might telephone Hang
to tell the Spanish woman to have the
porch room made up"
IT had Stan do that" Mrs. Cutting
interrupted capably.
"Ah, well, then. There's always
enough to eat, and enough beauty and
sunshine for every one" Margaret said,
with her friendly look.
MY dear, you're a great comfort to
mel" Mrs. Cutting assured her, sitting
down on trunk. Il didn't know
whether to ask her or not" she said,
with a deep sigh, of Miss Potter. "Ru-
dolph is to stop at the Wylies' for her
bag, and she and I'll 60 down in her
car. and then she'll send 1t back. Now,
Nora"
Mora and I with Rudolph and the
bags?" Margaret tried to supply. An
anxious, weary look came over Mrs.
Cuttings face.
No" she said patiently. IT had it
all thought Quits gone out Of my
mind. I had it all thought out. Oh
yes. I told Stan that I'd meet him at
the club, at o'clock, after the tennis
and 20 down with him. But want
you to do that, because want you to
tell him about Shirley Wilson-Shirley
Theobald as suppose she Is now.
"Oh, you've heard that rumor con-
drmed, them" Margaret asked, pausing.
"Oh, yeS-yes! It's only too true.
And you'll have splendid chance to
