The Blot !
t And How It Was ;;
Wiped Out
j! By CLARISSA MACKIE II
?il H II III Ml IHIIIIll M-H-.
The new house was flnishett No
d?tall bad l?*en omitted to make It
homelike an well an lienutiful and
comfortable. Still It larked something.
Paul Main paced the terrace, smoking
an after luncheon cigar, pondering
why he was not happy and contented
after all the expense and bother he
had endured while building this hand
some country home.
Below Fatrdale Tillage lay *tee|*?d
in the brilliant October mwshlne. . From
hla bouse on the hilltop the village
looked like a collection of toy houses,
quaintly picturesque, without one jar
ring not* of ngly line or crude color
ing.
Paul's eyes lingered on the viiibkw
and then lifted slowly to the one Mot
on his landscape Hidden from view
of his own estate because of a project
ing apur of the mountain, the railroad
circled the hill and disappeared, a
glimmer of shining tracks, through a
cut among the ranges.
The railroad was Innocent of offense
In Paul's eyes, hut on a strip of hilly
land bordering the tracks, quite In
plain view of Paul'a windows, was an
Immense signboard l>earlng in six foot
letters an advertisement of "Wind
muller's Ralsam For Coughs and
Colds." That abomination of black
?nd yellow paint was the blot on Paul
Main's landscape and on his peace of
mind.
"If 1 had known that sign was to he
put there I wonld never have built
here. 1*11 see Coombs al<out It." he de
cided. and. whistling up his favorite
pointer, he pulled his cap down over
his eyes and tramped down the ave
nue to the main road.
He found I.awyer Coombs In an un
responsive mood regarding the sign
board.
"I dare say: I dare say." replied Mr.
Coombs after Panl hid stated hts case,
"but as I understand the situation the
owner of the property wishes to derive
some Income from the land. As you
are aware, that hill nms sheerly to the
tracks below, and It Is useless for build
ing purposes."
"But It Is a blot on my view." per
slsted Panl Impatiently. "I'm willing to
buy the land If necessary to"?
"You couldn't buy the land, ray dear
sir. It is held In trust and cannot be
dlaposed of until a minor has reached
his majority, which will lie In exactly
eighteen years."
"Perhaps I'll bay the balsam far
tor>." threatened I*aul ruefully as he
left the lawyer's office.
He went down to the railroad and
skirted the tracks, looking up at the
offending signboard with speculative
eyes. "I'd like to talk to the owner of
that property." he pondered thought
ftilly.
"Ob. dear!" cried a sweet voice indls
tress.
Paul turned quickly. On the rnilroad
crossing behind him a woman's form
was bent In evident perturbation. In
stantly he surmised the cause of the
trouble and was lieslde her In a few
swift strides.
"You have caught your heel?" he
asked quickly.
"Yes." she panted affrlRhtedly, "and
a train la coming too. Oh. dear!"
A shrill whistle echoed from the cut
among the hills, sounding a warning to
clear the track upon which the woman
stood. Paul bent down, untied the rib
bon bow and gently lifted the little
silk stockinged foot from Its prison.
"Run for your life," lie commanded
briefly, and she obeyed him. He vainly
wrenched at the Imprisoned little shoe,
held by Its absurdly high heel between
the track and one of the crossing
planks, hut he could not budge It, so
lea|>ed nsMe In time to allow the train,
a long string of freight cars, to pass.
The second car tossed the mangled lit
tle shoe at his feet, and he placed It In
his pocket.
"" ? **?- ' ? ? ? - i.-.i -.-I
crossed over to where ????? owner of the
shoe was watting to thnnk him. For
the first time he rva'ly saw her aa *
matter of fact, for the first time he
really lived from that moment.
She was small ami dainty, with n
lovely, flower-like face, which retained
lta youthful l>eanty and clinm, In spite
of the softly graying brown hnlr thnt
(luffed under her Mark hat. She was
gowned In white with touches of Mack,
and Paul surmised that she was a
widow from the wedding ring on one
little white hand. I am afraid he
would hare been bitterly disappointed
If he had found otherwise.
"How can I thank you?" she cried
gratefully as he came toward her.
"By allowing me to assist you home."
was Panl'a gallant reply. "I am afraid
you will have difficulty with only one
shoe, but there was nothing to do bnt
leave It there."
"Oh. 1 live quite near by. and I can
take off the other shoe and get home
nicely, thank you." she said pleasantly,
adding with a little tow of color, "If
yon had not arrived? think of what
would have happened to me!"
"Don't think of It, please," said Paul
hastily. If you feci faint or 111 per
haps I can find you a restorative of
some sort. I believe there Is a drug
store down the road, but my own house
Is quite near." Involuntarily he glanced
upward, and her eyes followed his to
the beautiful home on Uie hilltop.
?New mind gelling anything," ?b?
?aid hastily. "I will thank yon again
and go."
Kbe beld out a little white hand, and
for an Inatant It m? ln< losed to Paul'*;
then hp lifted hi* hat and left her.
Instead of going dlrwtty home he
?topped lu the drug store, a id with hi*
mind atill on the Mot on hi* land*c*|*
be asked a question of the druggist.
"Who owns that pi ere of property
on the other side of the track?"
"Yon mean the hill where the hill
board stands?"
j "Yes."
"Mrs. Covington Is the owner. Her
husband died a couple of year* ago and
?eft all of bl* property to her in trust
for a nephew who is ouly three year*
old at the present time. She has re
cently had the billboard erected there
?or at least the balsam people hare
leased the ground from her for the
purpose."
"Thank you." said Paul Main, and he
went home.
He wrote a letter that evening to
Mrs. Covington and explained to her
what a blot that hilllxMrd was on bl*
outlook, and as be nnderttood the prop
erty was not for sale and that the
contract conld not lie l?>uglit he added
?*> appeal to her sense of the lieautlful
and her consideration for Ills feelings
on oliservlng the hideous sign from ev
; ery point of view of his estate.
After he bad sealed the letter and
I sent It to the postofllo# he felt better
and went out to the terrace to smoke,
and under the magic of the fall moon
he fell to dreaming of tbe lovelj little
woman he had aavod from death
that day. and his hand unconsciously
?itrayed to. the little slipper In hi*
pocket.

bn<l him oat ou the terrace, where they
parod to noil (To ft* they talked.
"You've pone mid done It now, Main."
! Mid the lawyer bitterly.
"I>one what?" demanded Paul, my*
tilled.
"I knew you were a rich man. but I
never supposed you to lie a acrew. It
never occurred to me that robbing the
widow was In your line!"
"A screw? Robbing the widow? what
widow? I don't know any widows, f
keep ajvay from >m every time'" he
! protected.
"You write letter* to them," aafcl
Coomb* testily.
"Letter* r repeated Panl vaguely. and
then suddenly n light broke over him
"IH> you mean Mr*. Covington T' he
asked Inmely.
"Ye*. Man, do you know that It near
ly broke that woman'* heart to have
that nlgnlio.ird put up there, but *be did
It to keep body and ?<*ul together. Cov
ington died and left her pretty well off,
but all the property wa* In truat. be

would marry again *ome day. A few

ly a sop to the hungry wolf until abe
1 can And some means of earning a liv
ing for herself. She talk* of taking
boarder*. berJtwe *he ha* a well equip
ped houae here In Falrdale."
"She ha* been to you?" Paul found
voice to ask out of hla depth of aelf
, condemnation.
"Ye*. She ha* ordered me to breal
the contract with Ihe balsam people
and have the lioard removed. She does
not feel that Hlie ought to Impose upon
I her neighbor* In that way."
"What can t?e done to make things
right?" asked Paul sharply.
"I don't know. If anything, now, only
you might go around and tell her as
delicately as possible that yon think
* strapping six footer of a man who
doesn't have to worry about the
butcher or baker can stand It to ga*e
upon n black and yellow billboard let
ter than a frail woman can give np
the Income derived from said advertlae
ment. She I* a proud woman, too,
Main."
"You needn't make me feel like nny
les* thHn thirty cent*." complained
| frll.
"You ought to he made to reel you
think t<>o ninch about yourself, Main."
"You're right," admitted Paul. "and
now that you've ripped me to pieces
let's have a little friendly talk about
i what I can do to nmke myself most
useful and Inoffensive In Fslrdale."
The next dity found Paul Main seek
Ins the home of Mrs. Amy Covington
' In Kalrdale Tillage.
The Covington place was a pleasant,
old fashioned white house set In the
midst of comfortable grounds. Paul's
ring at the doorl>ell brought him face
to face with the blue eyed woman he
had rescued two days before.
"Mrs. Covington?" she re|>eated. smil
ing, though he was sure she had bewi
weeping "I am Mrs. <\?vlngton. Won't
; yon come In?"
Afterward, when he told Mr. Coombs
about the Interview, he added the story
of the pretty shoe he had retained.
"Coombs," he snld thoughtfully, "I
persuaded Mrs. Covington to leave the
billboard there as a reminder to ma
that I am a eelflsh sort of l>east. Now
I shall sj>end the rest of the year In
persuading her that because I saved
her life she should Intrust that pre
cious life to me for letter or worse
If I cnn win her for my wife the
whole landscape can be dotted with
billboards advertising W I ndm altar's
balsam and I shall not care:"
"You have It bad. my dear Main."
grinned Mr. Coouibs. rubbing hla bands
delightedly. "As I understand It thera
will be no blot upon yonr landscape If
you can persuade Amy Covington to
marry you."
"As I understand It," amended Paul
Main, "the only blot on the landscape
then will be where she Is not!"
