They had not spoken for five minutes. At last he moved restlessly. "Tomorrow I go up to Bear Moun tain camp. We may as well decide our disputes now." "Leonard, I never shall be con tented living in little, sleepy River ville I'd stagnate. Of course," icily, "I presumed you would keep your po sition on Congress street, and we could live in the city, or a suburb, at least." "No already I have made arrange ments with my Uncle Rufus for taking over his Riverville business. I can't disappoint the old gentleman. Be sides, Riverville has the better finan cial outlook. I am more than sorry that you disapprove, Sada." There was another five minutes' si lence, and again the young man spoke. "We have quarelled three times in two days, Sada," he complained omi nously. "Evidently I am too presumptuous even to contemplate marriage. Here, take back, your diamond." Leonard thrust himself abruptly to-' ward the girl and gripped her hand. "Heaven knows, and you know, Sada, that I- adore you. A broken engage ment will crush me. I'm not a rich man," he groaned. "We can be friends but let me re turn the ring until I can be less selfish," she insisted in a gentler tone, dropping the ring into his unwilling hand. Then she ardfee and left him, the picture of dejection, trying to over come his emotion in the living room of Bear Mountain inn. An hour later Sada answered her Aunt Laura's call. "Leonard Black has decided to go up to Bear Mountain camp today. Will you please assist us in packing a bas ket of food for him?" Sada obeyed but she was too deep ly abstracted to even notice her faith ful Pandick standing upon his hind legs and begging for the crumbs he had learned to expect. When Aunt Laura gave Leonard the basket he immediately began his as cent, whistling as he paced away—yet a true Yankee can whistle in the face of shell fire. Sada watched Leonard until he was lost from view in the woodsy path. Then she glanced at the sheepish Pan dick, slyly hidden under a buckboard wagon, chewing something. Sada in vestigated, discovering that the very hungry, resentful puppy was devouring a man's leather pocket case, which was marked by gilt initials, L. O. B. "Bad dog•!" •scolded and cuffed Sada, "run quick, take Leonard his case. Bad Pandick you've made it a rag. Quick, seek him!" But Pandick was too wise a dog to risk his self-respect further already this morning Leonard had kicked at him spitefully, so Pandick skulked away to the barn. After a restless night Sada rose early, determined to go hunting"" her-, self. She dressed in khaki and asked Aunt Laura for a lunch. "Pity's sake, child! There are bears near this hoxise. Leonard saw one yes terday. That shotgun is no good on a bear. Take a rifle." "I'll keep near the Summit road," promised Sada. But Pandick drew Sada away from the Summit road, and after an hour's chase she stopped breathless, realizing she was lost Then she grew nervous. It is not quite pleasant for a town girl to be lost in a wild, bear country. So, in her rush, Sada easily loosened one of the big top rocks. It rolled down, bringing Sada and the rest of the wall, in an avalanche. Sada may have had a stone heart, but, sad to remind, her velvety skin was not even cement. So the stunned girl struggled up, finding it quite impossible to stand up on her bruised feet. However, she kept her wits, grasping her rifle in readiness to greet the Bruin family, which, luckily, was not there. The heavy footfalls had been only Pan dick himself rolling stones off the schoolmaster's wall. Again it was all stillness, that vast, intolerable still ness of the Rangeley wild. From her jacket pocket she drew the torn case which she had brought along. She called Pandick. "Seek Leonard! Go, bring Leonard!" she bade. But Pandick remembered his chas tisement and sulked. Kind tones, how ever, soon reassured him and, seeming to realize the helplessness of his mis tress, he ran on, his nose on a scent In the trail. He was gone an hour, an age to the aggrieved girl. But even ages end, and at last the faithful Pandick returned with Leonard following. "S-s-ada!" "I'm so glad, Leonard! I'm hurt!" "There is a shanty yonder I can carry you." But she Insisted on walking and, with his support, they reached a shel ter. "It is good to get here!" Sada cried enthusiastically. "Leonard, this shan ty is the dearest place on earth." "I'll agree if yon will take back your ring," he gently reminded. She let him put the ring back In its place, then they both fell to petting Pandick, and the knowing animal pricked up his eats in eagerness when he, heard something about his having pointed at home, sweet home. M, E. Schuster attended to business matters at Arlington, early last week, for the local decorating firm of Sohwea dinger & Schuster, (©. 1921. Western Newspaper Union.) Prof. Spencer Cobb had never mar ried, and in the pursuance of his cho sen career he noticed no lack. His busy hours passed in gratifying achievement, while a widowed sistei managed satisfactorily his home. All Spencer's daily needs were well provided, and love came not to trouble. So when Clara, the sister, told him frankly tha't she was weary of her monotonous life as his house keeper, and, intended thereafter to make her home with her daughter and grandchildren, the professor was much disturbed. "What shall I do?" he asked in con sternation, and Clara briskly replied: "Get married." Patiently his sister drew forth a chair. "Now, my dear," she began in the tone which she had used in his child hood, "there is no reason why you should not be able to find a compe tent and admirable wife. You are still young, and you are good looking. Also, your position is one to be proud of. But as you have never evinced interest in women, or shown pleasure in their society, I have taken it upon myself, Spencer, to direct your choice. Matilda Moore possesses just the qualities to be desired in your pro spective wife. "You will never realize what a blessing I have been to you, Spencer. But now—we must lose no time. Daughter is anxious to have me come to her at once the children are ill. You must call upon Matilda Moore this afternoon, Spencer, and prepare at once the way for your courting. It's the only reasonable way out of the difficulty." So, too bewildered to refuse, the professor found himself half urged, half coaxed by his dominating sister, out into the street. The residence of Miss Moore was quickly found, the chauffeur was opening the door for him to alight, before Spencer had considered his best mode of introduction. Calling upon women was so entire ly out of the professor's line that he felt called upon to make some pre tence for his visit. But Clara had evidently been before him with the telephone. The wide front door of the Moore residence opened at his approach, while a small hand was thrust for ward in welcome. "How nice," came a sweet feminine'voice, "and how un expected, to see you. Your sister informed us that you were coming to see our victrola. Professor Cobb— said you thought of buying one.., I will put on some records for you." Spencer breathed a sigh of relief. It was quite simple after all he. ad mired Clara's cleverness. And when he was in the long room with the shaded lamps and the cheery log fire, he admired also 'his sister's choice. Surely no daintier, fairer maiden ever smiled across a mahog any box, or was more agreeable in her demonstration of placing records. The professor did not know when he had been so interested and enter tained, and when the charming girl added her own voice to that of a noted singer Spencer thrilled the more to the sympathetic quality of her tones, and told her so. It was many years since he had danced or had thought of dancing, perhaps back—very far back—at a boyish dancing school. But when little Miss Moore came tilting and swaying like some happy child toward him, the professor took easily her out stretched, tempting hands and joined In the dance. Laughing and glowing, the girl stopped him at the farther end of the room. "To think," she exclaimed, "that you are really the dignified teacher whom I see passing my window every day Truly I used to think that you lived in some high intellectual plane of your own, unconscious of us poor Inferiors about you. To find: that you are human after all!" She paused to smile up into the professor's shining eyes. "Nicest kind of human," she added softly, while sudden happiness flooded the profes sor's heart. It was astonishing how the afternoon fled. Spencer realized recklessly that he had made every bald excuse to keep the delightful little creature at his side. Records grew stale in repetition, and though Miss Moore showed no weariness, she must have grown weary in her re sponses to his request for the same numbers upon the piano. When Spencer Cobb finally did bid his hostess good-by it was with the promise of a repeated visit. His sister regarded with satisfac tion his pleased face, when he re turned. "Then Matilda did come home," she asked, "and you met her? That silly spoiled young sister of hers told me over the phone that Ma tilda was out. She offered to run over the records for you herself— that was the only plausible excuse I could think of to pave the way for your visit. But I knew your aversion to brainless girls of Peggy Moore's sort and refused her offer." "Clara," asked, her brother slowly, "what does Miss Matilda Moore look like?" '.'Why, she Is tall and serious and very dark," his sister replied. The radiant professor smiled a blissful smile. "Well, the girl I am going to mar ry," he answered determinedly, "is very small and fair—and happy." wmmmm:. ot •+, I if The Turner Zoeglings-Verein, will* observe its annual "stiftungsfesti i.gatujdajr.evenJBg, J^pril 23* ,. 1921. Western Newspaper Union.) Drusilla loved Bruce Gordon, long before he had taken the slightest in terest in her charming, self. But Bruee, of course had not known sti Drusie's love, any more than he had known of her existence. Her affection began in^schoolgirl hero worship, grew calmly and stead ily into honest admiration, -and ended in love. Drusie, during her ^school days had watched Nell Hammond's young cousin come and go on visits to his kinsfolk, and he had in her eyes, appeared to be possessed of all the imaginary virtues of heroes of book or screen. When Nell finally introduced her, the glamor was replaced by genuine regard. Then it happened, that Richard Hammond awakened to a like admira tion of his cousin's young friend. And now, now—Prusie was almost sure that Richard fully reciprocated her affection. She did not yet choose to give to the emotion its true name. So, it was discouraging t© realize, as she rolled onward in the train which was bearing her to a week-end party at Richard Hammond's home, that she had no suitable dress to wear at the dinner which his mother would give that evening. Drusilla,- did so wiant to make a favorable impression' upon Richard's family. She did so wish him to be proud of her before' his friends. Nell was expected later from another^hol iday visit, and, the two girls were to meet at her relative-s home. Drusie's father had been certain that her last summer's rose foulard would be "just the thing -to wear to the party." But Drusie knew that the old rose foulard was quite inappropriate, both in cut and in its fashion of a former season. However, she determined not to re fuse the invitation Richard's mother had so kindly extended through Nell Hammond. And with inward trepida tion, yet with happiness, the girl knew that Richard's mother, reading her son's heart, desired to see and to know his choice. Richard himself came eagerly into the car at the sta tion before her destination. "Hurried on," he explained, "to meet you." Hig beloved face still bbre its ra diant expression as he followed her with the suitcases later, down the aisle. Her mother was gracious in her greeting, and the room which Drusilla was to share with Nell was a revelation of daintiness and beauty. Prusie sank to her knees to un fasten the straps of her bag. And there, as the cover flew back, lay fold ed as light and as blue as a cloud—a dream of an evening frock. Wonder ingly, the girl took It in her hands, holding it before her slim figure—the dress was her size to perfection. Then a wild impulse seized her.,. She knew, of course, that the whole thing was a mistake, that she had caught up: in her excitement someone else's suit case on the train, and had forced it Into Richard's waiting hands She re called vaguely the presence of a young woman in the. train ,seat be hind hers, and a second suitcase stand ing on end near her. She would find out later the identity of the owner of this bag that she had taken, and the exchange would be rectified. But, just now, for this one hour—Drusilla would wear the dream of a dress. Then she ran down the stairs. Richard was not in evidence, but from her position beneath the swaying lights she saw, down the hall, his mother approaching. Drusilla turned and fled back up the stair, back to her room of luxury. For it had come to her all at once, what a wild and outrageous and dishonest thing she was doing. Drusieihad not words hard enotigh for herself. '.Hastily' she un did the blue dress fastehingsv fever ishly folded it away- in its tissue. Then stood an awakened Cinderella, buttonipg with trembling fingers the serge traveling suit about her' figure! "Please tell Mrs. Hammond," she directed the maid "that my suitcase has been misplaced and I will not be able to dress for dinner." When Mrs. Hammond passed this message on to her son, her pheasant face -was perplexed. "I do not understand," she said. "I am sure that I saw your little friend in the conservatory a short tjnie since, and she was beautifully dressed, in just such a frock as Hannoine has been begging for, from Lucille." And presently Drusilla in her navy blue suit responded to Richard's sum mons, and came to him in the upper hall. "You see," he explained laughingly, "our suitcases got mixed when I left them downstairs. The maid carried my bag up tp your room, and here is your own. My sister Hermoine is anxiously waiting to see the 'Lucille' dress I brought out for her from tfc[e city. It was in the bag sent up to your room." Then, Drusilla, her cheeks as rosy as the despised rose dress, made full confession.^' tr '-'•»fti?6'«fVfs.*Vv "And I realize," she added sadly, "just how small you must think me, in yielding to my foolish temptation. So I am going away." ^"But you .did not yield,", Richard gently reminded her. His tone was ten der. "Stay and make me happy, Drusilla. Old rose or new turquoise, what have colors to do with love?_ It is you that I want, dear."
