TAKEN AT HER
WORD
A Conspiracy That Was Emi
nently Successful.
By JOANNA SINGLE.
John Mason did not slam the gate
?Imply because be knew that thin mani

Rosalie. She was watching Ills depar
ture from the window, and be was an
grily conscious tbat she knew be
would, as usual, return In a few days,
although she bad said she hoped she
would l>e rid of hlin for awhile. She
was so young and so beautiful? and so
provoking!
At the entrance to the little park, al
ready growing green In the April sun,
he met her sister. He did not know
Anne very well -he had been too busy
with Rosalie. lie wished now tbat he
had made friends with her; her blue
eyes were so like and still so unlike
Rosalie's. Anne stepix-d in front of
hlin and stopped hini unceremoniously.
"Reen trampled upon again!" she ob
served. "John Mason, for so clever a
man generally you're sometimes an aw
ful?fool!" She submitted this thought
fully, lu a voice too gentle to be In
suiting.
"Then you and Rosalie are agreed,
and I suppose you are expert testi
mony. May 1 turn and walk with
yon?"
She nodded and then asked a matter
of fact question, "How many times
has she refused yon?"
"I had not 1 bought to keep connt
Rosalie Just now luformed me that this
was the last time. I didn't know I had
been the same sort of? fool so often.
Rut don't .eon think she ought to give
me credit for my por>lstence. Not ev
ery man proposes so many times? to
the same girl."
Anne laughed dryly as he continued: ;
"1 wonld huve given up long ago If ;
I were not unexp'aln thly sure that she
does -care for me. lu fact, she never
has said directly that she does not. She
simply says she won't marry me.
What's the matter with me? Am I too
rich? 1 can give away the stuff If she
likes. Am I too snccessfnl? 1 might ,
lose a case to please her. Should 1 be
as ugly as Satan? Perhaps she would
like a beauty aud the l?east effect!
What does she want ? I've said and
done everythiug under heaven, aud she t
walks on me? she trails mer
"Precisely! That's why I called you
?what I did. A girl likes to trail a
man, but hates the man that wilt be
trailed. Not logical. Is It? To use her j
own words, you are always around, j
underfoot. You give her no time to
want you or miss you or think about
von. She's too sure of you. She
knows Just where you'll !>e. You never
let her want anytbtug bad enough to [
appreciate it w lien it conies. She has
alwax s had her own way. She needs to 1

He frowned. "I nm not a brute. That
"No? Well, what has your way ac
complished V*
He Iriol to laugh. "Oh. I'll take your
advice. I'll do anything you say. It
can't l?e worse than It Is now."
"Well. I hate the responsibility. If
you get her you'll fight. If you don't
you'll both be miserable anyhow. Yon
must get her? and then work out your j
own salvation, 'a the tirst place, you
must Rive her a shook. Write her n
note and accept your dismissal. Tell
her you begiu to see that she is right
and that you wish to l?e friendly with
her and the family. Then call ?ome
time*-- on the father or on me. I>on't
stay away. Absences of that sort are
flattering. You must be quite unaf
fected by her presence."
"You know that is lm|iossible You
know how the sight of her"?
"You've pot to do It! And you must
take another girl out occasionally. Be
ing naturally modest. I dislike to aug
jest that y*>u send me flowers some
times and come for a walk with me.
That will bring things home to her. A
girl hates to hare an admirer transfer
himself bodily to any one. hut espe
cially to her sl?ter."
When they had planned their cam
paign and he left Anne at the gate she
had him laughing. Rosalie saw them
and. abruggt-d her shoulders. While
removing her bat In the hall Anne re
marked to her sister:
"Well. dear. John tells me that yon
have dismissed him for good. Yon
know I never would have interfered If
you had wanted him. but I am glad
you do not. Now yon may find time
for your music. Your talent Is too
marked to he neglected. It will he a
relief for you to have him out of the
way awhile. You're too young to leave
father and me. and. after all. I think
you're right about his not being tlie
right man for you."
Rosalie shrugged her shoulder*.
The next day Rosalie, without com
ment. handed Anne this note:
Dear Miss Carle ton -I want to thank
you for your frankness of yesterday, and
I assure you that I shall not annoy you
again as 1 have In the past. Can you for
give me for having troubled you so much
and so long? Vou are probably right tn
deciding that I could not make you hap
py. aa I hoped to be able to do May 1
hope to continue my present friendly re
lations with ybu and the rest of the fam
ily? If I may I will not again trespaaa on
your kindness It will be. as you said,
the last time you shall have the pain of
refusing. Yours sincerely,
JOHN MASON.

terms with Annie, to whom next mora

him out walking with Mary Dye. Then
be took Anne driving. She began to
realize that Anne was very pretty If
she was a year or two older than John.
Rosalie's Irritation reached Its clima*
one morning at the breakfast table
when her younger brother Ted remark
ed In a tensing drawl:
"John seems to lie taking bis medi

and I am glad Anne seems Inclined to
keep him in the family. He probably
appreciates being treated like a human

should think you'd bate to have htm

By this time Rosalie bad reached the
limit of endurance. She sprang up
and. before any one could Interfere,
had boxed Ted's ears sonndly and fled
to her room. No one made comment
on the scene save that Mr. Carieton
amusedly mot the laughter In Anne'a
eyes and told Ted that he would hare
no more of his tensing. Rosalie's ca

been disapproved of by ber fmnlly.
and. while tiley were all sorry for her.

Trade At Home
I r is a hard thing to convince mtiw people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they aend 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 peraon 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 printing, while at the same time argue again*?mail order business.
