"She's pot sense nnd she'll do what

"I hate highbrows I"
"She Isn't u n the vulvar thing
you cull her Just because she took
highest honors ut college."
I guess 111 go Ashing!" Tommy
lit a cigarette mid stepped off the
porch.
Once ciut of sight, Tommy dug down
for u leather pockelbook and from
the neal ly ummged b'llls and papers
he fished a bit of rag. He held it
tenderly iu the palm of his hand for
n miuute, moiling reniiuiscently. It
was thin wliite stuff embroidered ' In
pink and blue daisies, with a delicate
tracery of green leaf. The edges were
frayed nud torn. He. wondered where
the girl was and who she was the
owner of the dress. He luul found Iter
in n boat hi a little deserted cove at
sunset, her engine gone dead.
Tommy had chugged around the cor
ner and slopped.
"Hello I' he called.
"Hello!" she answered.
"What's wrong?'
"I don't know!" '
"Wunt a lift?"
"Thank you. It you'll put me off
at the hotel, I can get my boat in
the morning." She stood up and
there was u sound of ripping and tear
ing as one of the flounces caught and
held.
"Oh, wliat a rotten shame!" lie sym
pathized, reaching over and trying to
help her extricate herself.
"I cun't help It and It'n too late to
go homo for another," she said. "I'm
dining with the Merrlcks and Alice
can iln me up some way."
Then he lost lier!- Next day he
went to the hotel only to find that the
Merrlcks had departed. He called him
self a fool nnd everything else in the
calendar for not finding out her name
before.
He continued his search disconso
lately for rtuys, each hour thinking of
some new charm and almost wearing
out his rugged souvenir with looking
at It. "She was Just the girl for me,"
he sighed. "Little, pretty, curly hair,
peachy Hps, tensing eyes, Jolly, dandy
teeth, and I'll bet she didn't know a
Ioitln grammar from a cook book."
Inys passed, weeks passed, month
passed. The Hot tons had closed their
cottage and returned to New York.
Tommy had given up loafing and whc
working hnrrt In his father's bunk.
The first of November came. Tommy
was getting restless agalu.
"May I have next week off. Dad? I
think, if you don't mind, I'll go up to
Danny's In Maine and shoot a bit.
"Sure, boy, go If you wish."
So Tommy, with bag and gun case,
ropped one. evening at Danny's cot
tage and old Martlm let him iu.
"Bless me, It's the boy, Dan!"
After supper, the men settled down
to talk and Martha sat sowing by the
fire. Strip after strip she sewed end
to end, rolling them Into a ball for
the weaver. . "It's for rag rugs for
the new lodge up yonder," she ex
plained. "The inbmus sent me bushels
of things to cut up. Here's one fin
ished! She proudly held up a rug,
all the color of the rainbow.
"I'retty, very," agreed Tommy. "One
wouldn't think rags could be made
Into that." Ills eye wandered over
the heap on the floor. Suddenly he
saw something a piece of white thin
stuff, embroidered In pink anil blue
daisies.
"Where did you get this, Martha t"
springing to his feet and holding the
strip toward her.
"Why, that came with the rest of the
things Mrs. Suwyer sent. One of
Miss Genevieve's dresses I suppose!"
"Genevieve Sawyer!" Tommy was
sure he had lost his senses. "Are the
Sawyers hereV
"They built the new lodge," ex
plained Danny. "Ye ought to see it !
Some day Miss Genevieve wants to go
hunt lug with me. D'ye cnr If we take
her?" , .... , . I
"No," agreed Tommy huskily. "We
might take her tomorrow."
Danny was trailing n deer. Tummy,
perfectly happy, was breaking frosty
underbrush for Genevieve to get
through, The girl, to a casual rb
servpr, wa3 os happy os Tommy nnd
In her fnwn-cnlore'1 hunting suiit was
ns pretty ns she was In the pink nnd
blue summer frock.
Suddenly Tommy turned. "Sny,
what's the difference between a l.ntln
grammar and a cook book?'
She thought for n moment. "Why,
I don't know. What's the answer?"
she asked.
Tommy cnught her hand and looked
Into her eyes. "The answer Is," he:
snld deliberately, "that I'm going to
marry you, dear, if you'll have nie?"

IUVENILE CLUBS-' GOOD WORK
Their Operation Can Be Tremendously
Effective in Keeping the Country
Boy From the City.
An Illustration of the great lmpor
tnnce of the attitude of parents toward
the work of members of the Boys' Ag
ricultural clubs, which have been or
ganized throughout the country by the
department of agriculture, Is found by
specialists iu co-operative demonstra
tion work In two cases reported from
the same state. The Incidents are ac
cepted as showing the value of paren
tal sympathy and consideration, par
ticularly iu the solution of the problem
of keepln;; the meiuliers of the younger
generation on the farm.
In one case It was fouud that the
boy of the fumiiy was helped and en
couraged from the time he first Joined
u corn club. His father permitted the
use of one of the best acres on the
farm, gave him barnyard manure, and
allowed the use of the necessary
horses and machinery. The young club
member produced more than a hun
dred bushels of corn on his single acre
the first year, and has been consistent
ly successful since. He has even
established a reputation ns a breeder
of fine seed corn. During the four
years of his membership in the corn,
pig and other clubs, he has won more
than $400 In prizes, and, with his
profits, has acquired ownership of
seven head of purebred Duroc Jersey
hogs, six head of well-bred cuttle and
a horse. The home is said to be Ideal,
the father and son being rejwirted as
"chummy as schoolboys." The boy
lias no thought of taking up life In the
city, but Is planning a constructive
future on the farm.
In the second case the results have
been wholly different. The young son
of this family Joined a kaflr club, but
When the crop was gathered the grain
was placed in a general farm bin and
he received no value from It. The
following year he Joined a pig club,
and vhen his father called attention to
the lack of feed, he hired himself to
n neighboring farmer to secure funds.
The money which he earned was, how
ever, pocketed by the father. Wholly
discouraged, the young boy shortly
afterward ran away Jcon home, and
Is now working In a city a neigh
boring slate.
The incidents have been used by
the state demonstration agent of the
state In which they occurred as the
text for an urgent appeal to all par
ents to encourage their children In the
constructive work they are undertak
ing in the clubs. One factor which
will be helpful, it Is pointed out. Is
permitting the young people to receive
the full financial profits of their Industry,
Superlative Good Thing.
It Is a good thing to be rich, and a
good thing to be strong, but It is a bet
ter thing to be beloved of many friends.
