MAN OR MOUSE?
| ; Lorena Had Her Pretty Eyes : j
Opened.
| By MARTHA M-C.-WILLIAM8. J
The water, laughing and lapping. In
vlted. The day wan giddy May. and
the lnvtted young Lorena. moreover,
owned all the folly normal to nine
teen. So altogether It would have been
a miracle If things had gone exactly
aa they should. A proper young wom
an of course would have reckoned
chance? before baring her feet and
dancing Joyously In midstream, where
the pebbles lay smoothly bedded In
fine sand and gleaming Jewel-wise
wherever a sun ray struck through
the ripples.
I?rena did not let herself remember
that the ford was but fifty yards high
er up or that thla special shallow reach
of the creek lay between the two lakes
that gave the finest fishing. They were
not true lakes, of course? only water
mirrors, ?till and deep. Impounded by
dams of the winter flood's building.
Lorena did not love them. They were
so placid they reminded her somehow
of Johnny, and whatever did that put
her out of temper.
She loved glitter, motion, excitement
It was ecstasy to her to dance all day
long and half the night after, footing
tt as lightly as wind blown thistle
seed. If only she could dance alone!
But since that was out of the question
she naturally preferred partners who
kept step and were nimble. Johnny
was neither, yet all the time she had
been engaged to him he had felt It his
right to say If she did not dance with
him she must dance with hardly any
body else.
And not at all with Orsnvllle Oore.
the very prince of partners, who was
handsome and slender and light heart
ed, with money In both pocketa and a
trick of spending It with both hands.
Johnny hated him. without reason so
far as I/>rena conld see? at least be
gave her no reason? only said, "If you
are goln' ever to be kin c to me. I/Olle,
you must be barely civil to that fel
low."
Somehow the eraphwsls on I be last
word always made I/>rena shiver when
she recalled it How could she help
it when Johnny was toward olher folk
the soul of kindly Justice? Still ahe had
felt that he was unfair. If be really
new anything he might let her know
it likewise.
If Johnny could have brought himself
to tell her the break might not have
come. But be waa too proud and mas
terful for that Hla wife must believe
In him enough to understand that be
had reasons for any and every thing.
Besldea. he was afraid of seeming en
vlous and Jealous of s man so mnch
richer and better looking. Moreover,
he did uot really know much that conld
be told categorically. It was Gore's gen
eral atr and manner, conjoined to
words dropped here and there, that
made Johnny certain he bad no real
reverence for anything feminine. A
girl, any girl, was fair gauie to him. If
she hadn't sense enough to look out for
herself he was not bound to look out
for her. Yet Gore was not distinctly
vicious? rather. Inordinately vain. lie
did not mean worse by womankind and
girl kind than to make love to them,
then ride away. Marry I Not he? not
the finest girl alive!
If Lorena had known that I Cnknow
Ing It, she bad thought a great many
times and a great many things of
the fascinating Granville In the three
months since the break. He had been
away for two of them, and atnee he
came heme she had seen him only In
crowds. But he had used his eyes so
eloquently as to set her heart wildly
fluttering. But, oddly enough. It bad
fluttered even more when by chance
she had encountered Johnny In his
working clothes, driving his wagon to
the mill
They had barely nodded to each oth
er. and she bad ridden faat afterward,
but not faat eno(lgb to get away from
a aenae that Johnny, old Johnny, al
though his fnee waa Impassive, had
turned to look after her aa long aa ahe
waa In sight
Today ahe waa not thinking of him?
hardly even of Granville. Wading waa
such pure Joy. Tbe water cam* above
her ankles. She lifted tier aklrta light
ly In both banda and balanced to her
ahadow upon the rippling atream, auch
a funny abadow, dancing grotesquely
even when ahe stood still.
Rapt In contemplation of It abe did
not bear footstep* or anything until
a throaty, chuckling voice cried: "Oh,
hoi A mermaid I Gore, If tbe variety
ta Indigenous, understand. I shall settle
In your neighborhood Juat aa eoon as
I can buy a place."
Lorena flushed scarlet She let fall
her aklrta, heedless of water? heedless.
Indeed, of anything but escape. There
were men on either bank; also one In
wading approaching her midstream
Gore waa tbe furthest of them?* Gore
she had never seen. He looked ber
over as though abe were a part, a curi
ous part, of tbe landscape with which
he had no sort of acquaintance
It waa tbe man In wading who bad
spoken. He was striding on toward
ber, bis rod over bli shoulder, a broad
grin upon hla flat red facet Her sun
bonnet her faded print frock, above
nil ber present case, bad nearly made
him believe her aome hoydenlab milk
maid rather than mermaid.
"Didn't 1 tell you fellowa the finest
fish were here In tbe shallower be
bellowed at tbe men on the bank.
"Never yet made anch a catch," be
added, making to fling an arm about
Lorena's waist
She evaded him, springing to one
tide and trying to fata the task, but j
the * port* men there set op a laughing
chont which warned ber not to troat |
them. Desperately abe fled opatream. I
cutting ber feet on abarp stone*. bat
never fnltoring. It waa not ?aay to j
run agalnat the corrent? tbe rack bot
tom waa Hllppery in piacea awt bet
wet skirt hampered her terribly.
8tlll ahe kept out of reach a* til sfw
waa twenty yard a off tbe ford. The
flat raced wan. laughing and punting i
after her, caught ber there and aal<1 ?? |
be gave ber a resounding klae; " Ton |
my aonl, Cndlne, It waa worth It I |
haven't bad ancb a lark atnca I waa a
boy."
Lorena broke from him. crying wild i
ly: "Granville! Mr. Gore! Kill thU
creature!"
At that the men laughed loader than j
erer. Granville had dlacreetly dlsap 1
peered. Ha waa aorry for Lorena; '
alao angry with her, eren angrier than i
with hla friend of the flat red face j
There were mllllona back of the flat,

Trade At Home
II it * hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage ?o trade at home The
green field# far away appeal to them. so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad Many of them send away for
their printin* wbil# a? the same time argue again*t^mail order business.
