JOKE ON MARY
By RACHEL CAIN
Mary looked up with surprise ut the
young man who now occupied the high
office stool of old Leslie Curtis. He
wus strangely out of keeping with the
old-fashioned furnishings In the shab
by old place. Mr. Curtis with his bent
shoulders and shiny old serge suit hur
monlzed so well with his time-worn
surroundings when he was present
that the sight of the stranger’s brand
new black and white checked suit and
azure blue tie with Its lapis-lazuli pin
Jurreil discordantly on Mary’s nerve.
“I’ve come to pay Aunt Myru’s fire
Insurance.’’ said Mary.
Jimmy Carter looked through the
wire luttlce with its stingy little arch
way Intended for the transaction of
business. What he saw cuused him to
slide dowm quickly off his stool.
“Certulnly," said Jim aloud, reach
ing for a pen. To himself. “Not so
bod for a Jay town. Life Is looking up
u bit. Stunner, she Is."
“What Is the nume, please?” asked
Jim.
"Miss Myra Grant,” said Mary.
The ornate hand slid up one page
and down another In a vuln attempt at
finding the name.
“Nothing doing.” said Jimmy. “T
don’t seem to be able to find It. How
do you spell It?”
“G-r-a-n-t." spelled Mary.
Jimmy flushed. "Maybe Uncle Les
forgot to put It In."
“Oh. I don’t think so.” said Mary.
"Is Mr. Curtis sick?”
"No—gone awuy for a three weeks’
rest. I’m holding down the Job till he
comes home.”
“If you’ll please give me u receipt
for It I’ll not wait. I know the amount
—It’s four dollars and thirty cents.
I’m In a good bit of a hurry."
"All right* said Jimmy obligingly.
Mary folded the receipt and put It
Into her bag. Then she opened the
door to go out. but before she closed
It she said sweetly. "If you look Iti
the large ledger with the mottled cover
I think you’ll find It. Tou were look- j
lug In the school directory, yop see."
She was gone! And Jimmy with a
curious mixture of shame and rage
fumbled awkwardly for a cigarette to
relieve his harrowed feelings.
“Smarty!" he sal«i two or three
times. “Smarty! Think you’re real
elite, don’t you?” And then finding
the “mottled cover." he ciedited Aunt
Myra's money and took the rest of the
morning for reflection.
In vain he racked Ida brain for
some way to “make her sit up and
tnke notice,” as he put It. Whal kind
of grandstand play would “bring her
to?” Jimmy wns puzzled.
Then he found It. Five towns were
getting together to have a concert —
a real one. with opera singers In It.
Glencoe, being the center, wus chosen
as the place d’affalr.
So Jimmy decided that to be on
terms of sociability with some of these
bright lights would establish him for
ever In the eyes of Mary.
He decided on Oerrone. He had
heard that this famous soprano was
young, pretty and therefore most prob
ably approachable. Besides, he had u
friend who had a friend who knew
her and he wrote for a letter of Intro
duction.
The day of the concert arrived warm
nnd beautiful. It was late spring and
the air was heavy with roses. Jimmy,
despising the garden varieties, sent a
week’s board to New York for a buncb
of hothouse ones, and armed with these
and his card he started for the hotel.
Jimmy’s way led past Mary’s. Mary
was In the garden clipping roses. She
called him.
“Hello. Jimmy.”
He wns so dumfounded at the sweet
sociableness of her tone that he al
most dropi>ed the box he carried. Then
he recovered. The grand opera busi
ness was doing Its work. His fame
had spread.
“Good morning. Miss Mary!” His
tone mas the least bit patronizing.
“Can’t you come In?” she Invited.
Jimmy thawed. “Why. perhaps I
can, a minute. I have an engagement
and can’t stay long, though."
"I won’t keep you. I Just thought
we’d sit on the porch a minute and
have a nice little chat. I’ve something
to tell you.”
He wns curious. “All right. I have
a minute, I guess.”
Suddenly Mary gave him an odd
look and held out her hand impulsive
ly.
“Jimmy, you’re a dear, nnd I can’t
do it—I Just can’t. We all like you.
Jimmy, but we’d planned a Joke on
you nnd it’s too mean. You wanted to
put me In my plnce and everyone re
sented it so. I—Fra Gerrone, Jimmy,
don’t you see? Yes, I really am. I
was born and raised here and came
home to rest when the season was
over. I’ve worked so hard for years.
Do I look so unsophisticated?”
But Jimmy was speechless. Mary
leaned forward wistfully. “Jimmy,
don’t you like me?” she pleaded.
“I—I was Just thinking,” he stum
mered, “that Fm afraid I’ve fallen In
love with you.”
