BENEATH THE BONNET
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS.
When Mary Anne was told that her
father had accepted the position of
lodgekeeper out on the Chigwell's es
tate she wanted to shout aloud with
delight
"I know you have done It so that I
fan be In the country and paint," she
told him softly. "I can paint and paint,
and paint!" she laughed joyfully at
the prospect.
The retired officer smiled at his
daughter's delight. He had realized for
some months that the roses were leav
ing her cheeks and that her painting
was suffering. She was first and fore
most a landscape painter, but trips to
the country for sketching were too ex
pensive. Tom, his son, was unable to
live in the country because of the long
hours his position demanded of him.
"Tom can keep the flat, so that when
you and I get tired of the country we
can come In. He can be your agent
and sell all your canvases for you."
Major Wells was busy writing a
book on the "Military Age," and it was
more often than not Mary Anne who
ran down to swing open the great
gates that the carriage might pass
through. Always she slipped her big
blue sunbonnet quickly over her tum
bled curls and kept her head timidly
bent, while the carriage drove either
into or away from the estate. Mary
Anne knew, however, that the master
of Chigwell was decidedly good to look
upon.
The little sketches began to sell. One
or two flattering checks found their
way from Tom to Mary Anne. The
major only nodded his head in ap
proval. He felt grateful for the chance
he had got to put her into the sur
roundings necessary for her develop
ment.
It was in an art shop on Fifth ave
nue that Chigwell caught sight of an
exquisite ske.tch of the rustic bridge
that spanned a tiny stream behind the
lodge gate.
Chigwell drew a breath of surprise.
Without stopping to look at anything
else in the window he went inside. The
art dealer brought forth the sketch
with the rustic bridge.
"Who is the artist?" he asked casu
ally, not wanting to betray his reason
for inquiry.
"The pictures are signed 'Mary
Anne'—that's all. I know nothing
about the artist. An agent brings them
to me. I want all I can get of 'Mary
Anne's' work. They are wholly charm
ing—all of them."
Chigwell was puzzled. "When next
that agent comes In just get his ad
dress for me, will you?" he asked.
Mary Anne had been rising with the
sun. There was a bit of rose arbor
backed by tall sentinel fir trees that,
in the early mist of morning, was of
unearthly loveliness. Mary Anne suc
ceeded In getting that atmosphere of
mistiness that caressed the flowers
and the grass and the fir trees down
on her canvas. The sketch was a
poem in color.
Even untemperamental Tom quite
held his breath upon seeing it. He
carried it proudly into the art shop
on Fifth avenue.
"I've got a peach this time," he said
with his genial smile.
The art dealer agreed. Later he got
Tom's address.
Chigwell was so curiously interested
in the artist who had trespassed on
his estate that he dropped in at the
shop daily. When he saw tbs glorions
little ghost rose picture he took it as
greedily as had the art dealer. And
went up to the address given him.
Tom beamed with brotherly pride
when questioned by Chigwell about
Mary Anne.
"She's my sister," he said, "and lives
out at a place called Chigwell Lodge."
The name meant nothing to him, for
John Chigwell had chosen to withhold
his name.
"That is not possible !" he exclaimed.
"I know everyone on the estate."
"She lives there just the same," said
Tom.
Chigwell left the flat and Tom Wells
more mystified than he had been for
many years. It was not until he re
membered the slim figure at the gate
that It occurred to him that perhaps
it was the lodgekeeper's wife who
painted. He had never speculated as
to what lived under the blue sunbon
net and the simple gown of blue ging
ham.
He stopped when his carriage had
driven through the gate and knocked
at the lodge door. Mary Anne hur
ried from her post at the gate and
stood quietly beside Chigwell.
He gazed under the blue bonnet, and
hoped his amazement was not too ob
vious.
"Can I come in?" he asked.
Chigwell had no sooner stepped
within the cottage than he saw at a
glance that the blue bonnet girl was
the artist Paints, palettes and
sketches lent delightful confusion to
the lodge interior.
"I did not know until I bought a
beautiful little landscape today that
we had an artist—living beside us,"
Chigwell said, expressing himself with ;
a smile that quite won Mary Anne's ;
heart
Mary Anne still runs out to the gute |
and gazes from under the blue bonnet |
toward Chigwell as he enters the gate i
in bis carriage. Instead of running]
back to the lodge, however, she Is]
swept In beside him and his am Is
about her as they drive to the big]
house. He has every privilege where j
Mary Anne is concerned.

HIE MISSING LETTER
By LOIS PIKE.

i
j
Things happened very rapidly in the
slow old village of Columbus. The
first thing that happened to rouse the
people was the fact that Miss Ruth
White's aunt died in her far-off state
and left her a legacy of 15,000. Miss
Ruth was the belle of the village, not
withstanding that her father was a
carpenter.
Then it became widely known that
Dave Johnson, son of Squire Johnson,
had made new proposals of marriage
to Miss Ruth—making three in all in
one year.
Then Abner Taylor's widow, who
had been postmistress for several
years, went suddenly blind. She had
the legal right to name an assistant
and she named Miss Ruth White. The
two had been good friends for a long
time and the girl took the place of as
sistant that the widow might hold her
place and not come to poverty.
These incidents w«re gossip for a
week or two, and then sleepy old Col
umbus went to sleep again. The fact
that Miss Rath was at the general de
livery window gave Dave Johnson op
portunities to see her and speak with
her which he had not had before, and
there was scarcely a day in the week
that he was not a caller at the post
office. His father, a justice of the
peace, received more mail than any
five other persons in the village put
together, and his son's excuse every
time he came in was to get his father's
mail or mall letters for him.
As for Ruth, the girl had little to
say to him, for she had refused him
absolutely, but as a public official she
had to treat him with courtesy. One
day when there was no one in the of
fice but the two he said to her :
"Miss Ruth, I love you and am go
ing to have you for a wife. If you
keep on refusing me I shall play you
some trick to make you wish you had
accepted me."
His speech angered the girl, and
she gave him back such hot words
that he slunk away while she was still
talking. He went dirt-ct to his fa
ther's office and told his parent that
the assistant postmistress had vilified
the whole family. He told lie after lie
to get the old man excited and -re
vengeful, and the squire was ready to
enter into any plan.
"The idea that you are not good
enough for her and her family 1' he
shouted. "Dave, you have not the best
of reputations; but we must go to
work to take some of the conceit out
of that slip of a girl. She seems to
think she runs this whole town, but
she won't even run the post office when
we get through with her."
There was scheming and planning
for the next month. The first thing
to be done, as father and son looked
at it, w T ns to cause the girl to lose her
position—and under a cloud of sus
picion at that. But no opening pre
sented itself for a month or two. Dave
kept away from the post office and
the squire got his mail himself.
One day he entered the office in his
pompous way and said to Ruth :
"I wish to enter a complaint to the
postal authorities, and it may turn out
to be very serious for you."
"Very well," was the reply. "I will
take your complaint and forward it.
Has there been anything wrong abont
your mail?"
"Yes, ma'am, there has. A letter
containing money addressed to me, and
which I believe reached this post of
fice all right, has not come to me, and
I want to know where the trouble
lies."
In about a week the inspector on
that route arrived. He was a young
and good-looking man, and his impres
sion of the assistant postmistress was
very favorable. She had probably
made some mistake in boxing the mail.
The squire was sent for, and the story
told was that a man named Hardness,
over at the village of Milford, had
bought a horse of him and had paid
all but $10 of the price. He was to
pay that on a certain date. He said
he would send a $10 bill over in a let
ter, and he was a man whose word
was as good as his bond. He surely
had mailed the letter and it ought to
have reached the squire next day, but
weeks had elapsed and the letter had
not yet arrived. He was asked by the
inspector if he had telephoned llark
ness, and he replied that he had not.
; Ruth quietly and calmly protested,
; and she could do no more. The- in
i spector was about, to go across the
■ street and telephone to Harkness him
self when old Uncle Doremus came in
i with a letter in his hand and ex
| claimed:
"I *arn getting to be a darned old
j fool. 1 got a letter in my box some
j days ago and put it in my pocket to
j .take home. Dog my cats if I didn't
j forget all about that letter till just
! this morning! It wasn't for me any
I how. It was for Squire Johnson here,
I and it was put in the wrong box."
i The squire received and opened the
letter. There was no $10 bill in it.
Instead of sending him the money, Mr.
Harkness called him a cheat, a liar
and a swindler, and said be might sue
and be hanged to him. The squire
walked out of the post office without a
word. The inspector said such mis
takes often happened, but could be
overlooked. Dave Johnson did not ap
pear to renew his proposal, but six
months later Miss Ruth received one
that she accepted and the Inspector
bnsband still permits her to act as as
sistant postmistress.

GAS WELL STILL GOING
May Be A Continuation of The New
Iberia Field. Will Drill An- I
other Well.
The gas well on Avoca Island
which was brought in Thursday
while drilling a water well is still
flowing freely about the same as
Saturday.
There is still no definite informa
tion from the Pharr interests for oil
and gas, but it is believed that the
'lowing of this well is of enough
importance to justify the drilling of
at least one deep well.
It was announced from the Avoca
dice this morning that there would
be another well drilled for water
very soon, and doubtless the result
of the new well will be awaited be
fore developing solely for oil and
gas.
Considering the shallow depth at
which gas was found it is highly
probable that there is oil and gas on
Avoca, and that it is a continuation
of the Iberia parish fields, as these
fields nearly always follow closely
the course of the river.

MISSING MAN LOCATED
Sair. Caro Telephoned Local Parties
From New Orleans Last Week
May no to Mobile
The mystery surrounding the ui.-,
appearance of Sam Caro in January
has been partly cleared up. He is in
New Orleans, or was at that place
last week and announced his in
tentions of going to Mobile, Ala. It
is said, that he telephoned to parties
here and tried to get them to re
lease his sewing machine and other
tailoring necessities so that he
might go to work at his trad . The
same authority states that the peo
ple who had his goods tied up by
legal proceedings refused to release
them.
This makes it plain that Caro did
not meet with foul play atid that his
disappearance was voluntary. The
various enterprises which Caro con
ducted here are still closed. It is
rumored that they will resume oper
ations soon under the direction of
the creditors of Caro.

This is a story of i girl who cir
culates in a frolic-seeking set of
Bohemians in New York. After sev
eral very trying experiences and the
realization of the artificialties of
her mode of life she settles down
and marries. But after a few yea^
of married bliss her husband's fond
ness for gayety and night revels al
most wrecks her happiness forever.
The climas comes when he brings
suit for divorce and offers perjured
testimony to discredit the wife's re
putation. He also fights for the cus
tody of their child, but tHe suffering
wife startles the court and specta
tors with the declaration that her
husband is not the child s father.
! The judge, however, suspects that
j this is not true and eventually, after
! the "other woman" in the case shows
' her true colors, the husband and
1 wife are reunited.
