"My wild Mr. Rurwtll to hi*
wife, "I have Invited young Farrell to
dinner tomorrow evening. He ha*
been very |>ollte to ine at the club,
chatting, playing billiards, cards, any
thing 1 have fancied, with me Just km
If I were his own age. Nnturnlly I
wish to make htm some return. He
In alone at his home, his father and
mother Wine In the country, and no
doubt an Invitation to dinner will Im>
very acceptable to him. Indeed, he has
told me he Is very lonely. I.et us dine
In the conservatory and by daylight.
"And I wish you to speak to A dole,
I have brought several of my young
men friends homo, partly on her ac
count, for I prefer that she should
1 choose a husband from among those 1
, Introduce, and she has treated them
so Indifferently not to say shabbily?
as to cause mo excessive mortification.
There were llollablrd, worth a million;
1 Stevens, heir to the largest manufac
turing business In the city, and"?
"Adele Is fnll of fun, and she found
both these young men very matter of I
1 fret"
"Full of madness, rather, to throw
away such opportunities. Please tell
her for me that 1 expect her for my
sake to at least treat Farrell with po
liteness. "
The next evening at 6 o'clock Miss
Hut well picked tip a hose In the yard
before her father's house with which
the gardener had been watering the
grass and l>egan to amuse herself by
putting a stream on the hot stones of
the walk that led to the gateway. This
gateway, by the bye. was through a
brick wall about as high as a man's
head. Presently the young lady saw
the hats on the other side of the wall
approaching and heard her father's
voice saying on reaching the gate.
"After you." A young man In evening
dress under a light overcoat appeared
at the opening. Whether through nerv
ousness on Miss Bur well's part of mis
calculation or w hat not, the young man
received a charge of water on his
shirt front.
A moment later there was an Inter
esting tableau. Miss Rurwell stood re
garding Mr. Farrell with an expression
on her face of tat least apparent* com
miseration. Mr. Rurwell. who had fol
lowed his gtiost through the gateway,
stood regarding his daughter angrily,
while Mr. Parrel! was wiping the wa
ter out of his eyes with his handker
chief. As soon as he could see he
looked down at his dripping clothes,
then up at Miss Rurwell, and smiled.
"Adele!** exclaimed the father stern
ly.
"Oh, )>apa, I'm so sorry !"
"Oo Into the house."
"Not without the proprieties, Mr.
Rurwell." said Parrell. "Pm a stickler
for the proprieties. Aren't yon going
to introduce me?"
"1 crave the gentleman's pardon," I
said the girl, with proper humility.
"Something must have"?
"Certainly It did." Fn troll internist
ed. "How could the thing otherwise
have occurred? You are Miss Barmil
I presume," raising his dripping hat
"Very pleased to meet yon."
"Come Inside," said the paterfamil
ias grimly to his guest, "and I'll see
what I ean do for yon."
r>ry clothes having been provided?
they were much too large? the family
sat down to dinner. Much to the sur
prise of the elder people, Adele treated
the man she had ducked with consider
ation, commiserating him upon the ;
misfortune she had brought upon him. |
while he avowed that he detested
evening dress and was delightfully !
comfortable In his loose clothes. Mr. I
Purwoll for awhile nursed his wrath,
awaiting an opportunity to punish his
daughter, but the young jvople got on
so pleasantly that before the dinner
was half finished he was laughing and
Joking In the best of humor. After
dinner Mr. Farrell and Miss Unrwell
strolled out Into the front yard.
"I don't see how it could have hap
pened." said Adele. "I think an insect
must have"?
"Turned the noitle," Interrupted Mr
Farrell. "I saw It aim straight for my
shirt front."
Miss Rnrwell said nothing for a few
moments. A smile was si niggling with
her lips. lYevently she put out her
hand, which the young man grasped.
"You're a brick !? she said.
"No slang. If you please. I can stand
eoM water, but I hate slang, especially
when I Ye had occasion to get up on
my ear."
"So I perceive."
I "Rut enough of this monkeying. Fve
been spending weeks JoNy,nK your fa
ther at the club In order to get him to
Invite me here. When I arrived? well,
I got rather a cokl reception."
"That was to pay you for"?
"What?"
"Not coming before."
"How could 1 T"
"Nonsense! There weiv lota of
ways."
"I couldn't think of any till 1 found
that Mr Furwell of our club was your
father. I Immediately went at him
hammer and tongs He was mighty
alow about invttlng me."
"That's because Fve turned down
every one he has brought "
"I wish you'd turned that hose down
when I came."
"It's titne for us to go In. Now, be
careful and don't"?
"Let the cat out of the bag. Not
much."
Several years later, when his daogh
ter as Mrs. Farrell told Mr. Furwell
what he didn't know of this stoty, fee
opened wide his eyes and said:
"And they say parents should guMe
the way to their children's marriage#"

MIRK FREEDOM.
By MARION MANVILLK.
(Copyright, 1?K>. to Aaaoctfttod Utararr

The announcement cam* like a thun
derbolt out of a clear aky Marcla
Dmb? hail broken her engagement
with Jack Kelly.
They had beeu lovers from child
hood. always together, always devoted
and nbaolutely loyal to aach other, and
Bow, Juat a frw months before the
wedding day, the unexpected happened.
The young people were planning a
null In* expedition, and Jack bad
called, aa he did every evening, to tell
Marcla the detalla.
"Wo start from tawton's at 9, ao I
will come for yo* ? little earlier. To?
will be ready T' There wan scarcely a
question In hla voice.
Marcla was always ready. He had
finished up that subject. and hta
thoughts were buay with something !
else when it dawned on him that Mar- j
cla'a nnswor ami tone were quite dlf- I
forvnt from what he had expected. !
She hnd risen and waa speaking rapid
ly, Intensely.
"No, I shall not U< ready then or any j
time again. Jack. Tm not going with
you any more, and hero's your ring."
She thrust the mute emblem of their '
past happiness Into hla hand, atood
expectant a moment; then, aa he did !
not speak, she turned from htm and
walked Into the hous?v
Jack waa too daard to more. How
long he ?at there he never knew, but
at last ho went away. The light and I
happiness had been crushed oat of hla
life at one blow.
Pall allpped Into winter, and the ,
usual festivities began. Jack Kelly j
never appeared at them, but he heard '
of Marcla, tirat with one man, then
wtth another, the bella of the aeaaon. |
And Marcla enjoyed her freedom. For
the first time In her young Ufa she waa
receiving attention from other admlr
era than Jack, and ahe waa constantly
comparing them with him.
Sam Puncan waa splendidly big and
handsome, though hla eyes lacked the
genial twinkle, the tender sympathy of j
Jack'a. I tan Hemly waa extravagant, j
and ahe waa aune U waa wrong?not
that she could endure a stingy man.
Jack waa generous, too, but he had '
some principle about It
Ted Kevnolda fall in love with Mar
cla at once and Insisted on taking her
everywhere. He was full of fun, a
brilliant talker and an alt around good
fellow. Marcla liked him Immensely
until Chrlatmaa day. Then ahe found
his card at the bottom of the basket of
roses she had thought came from Jack,
and after that there waa a bitterness j
In her heart toward the man who had
dared to send what she expected from
her neglected lover.
As soon as spring came Marcla was j
seen constantly tn Harry Lawton'a j
automobile. Rumor had already en- ;
gaged ber to a doaen different men, and
now It settled on tawton aa an abso- ?
lute certainty. Marcla held her peace. j
Now and then, when Marcla had an I
occasional glim pee of Jack'a face, with ;
the deep lines around the llpa that of
old were always amlUng and tender
for her, she wonld go home, shut her- !
self In her room and cry herself to
rtwfr I
"The old stupid! Why doesn't be
coine to see me?" she would ?*? to
herself, angrj at bin unquestioning SC
ceptance of her dismissal.
It wss the 1st of June, Ju?t a week
bofor* Marcla'a birthday, which was
also to have been ber wedding day.
Aft day Ions she bad been puullng her
brain to And a way oat of her dllem- ;
ma. Things bad not turned out exact- ,
ly as sbo had planned them In the ;
months Just iron?. Sha bad expected
to retain Jack's friendship, to bar* :
blm call occasionally, but she bad j
never exchanged * word with him ,
since the night she had sent lHfci away.
At last, because she could think of no
letter way, she sent him a note:
IVar Jack? A girl vt>u uswt to know will i
be at our house tonl*M and wUhs* to see
you Come at 7. MARC1A. |
Quite bewildered, unable to gueas
who the girl might be. Jack obeyed (
the snnaoM, He found Msrcla atons ?
In the parlor. Never bad she looked so j
bewitching to blm as she dtd after the
months of separation She was dress til .
all In hla favorite white. tvUerod only
by a single black red Jack rose.
Jack caught hta breath with sudden
pain as be rvallced all that It meant to
love her. With Irresistible longing be
kept her haml and drew her cloae tnto ,
his arms.
??Matvla, darling," he murmured, bis
face against hers, "tell me H ton't
tme. Say that this lonely winter has |
l?een a horrible nightmare and T*m
waktng now,"
"The girl yon used to know"? ahe
began.
"Hother the gtrll I dont want her. I
want yoo-yonr
She drew away from him a little
'The gtrt, Jack, It the on* yoc used
to be engagvd to,"
He caught b?r In hR *rna% again, and
Marc la finished her conflwsNtv
"You never asked her why aU gave
back the rtng. Ton didn't gtra bar a
chance to explain that before it* be
came an old married woman ah* want

been ber constant attendant She
meant to take a ItttW vacation ft a
month or two, bat yoa made R w

do yoa know what a week from today

Jack disengaged one arm long enough
to slip a glistening goldan circlet on
Marcla's fl^cer. Then be answered tri
umphantly:
"IV I knowl Well, 1 thtak any man
ought to rrcagblsa bis own wedding
day. tt'a the end of your vacation,
young lady!"
v.? Where Is Yo\ir
Talent ?
Smrabu the cue of the man
who took hia talent, wrapped it in
a napkin and buried It?
Not only did hii master pnniih
him for hit folly, bnt hit condnct
haa become a byword.
The world hat progTCtied linoe
hia time. Modern conditions have
developed a kind of man who ii
rven more useleu than the one who
bnried hii talent HE IS THE MAN
WHO SENDS HIS MONEY OUT OF
TOWN TO BUT FROM MAIL OR
DER HOUSES.
The mm who buried hit talent at
least had the talent to show for it.
If we all spent our money out of
town in a thort time we would hare
nothing to show for it except
BANKRUPTCY NOTICES.
The mas who patronites home in
dustries benefits the people he dealt
with and benaflta himself. Hit con- ?
dnct it like that of the good and
faithful servant who to uted the
talents intrusted to him that they
greatly increased. He ii a good and
faithful citicen who is worthy of
the snoectt hs it rare to win.
The next time you tee an attrac
tive advertisement of s mail order
house go to yonr local merchant and
try to bay the article of him. IF
HE HASN'T IT ASK HIM WHY.
If he hat it ask him why he never
told you about it in your local pa
per. '
That will be a boost for ut. But
we'll stand for it And we'll boost
back ; remember that.
Do your share of the boosting
and you'll get your share of the
prosperity.
