DOING SOMETHING
DESPERATE,
And After It Was Done Sylvia
Really Felt Contented.
By JEANNE: OLIVE LOIZEAUX.
[Copyright. 1909. by Associated Literary
Prow. J
The moonlight and her beauty soft
ened the sconi of her glance when
she saw that It was Max who had
been sent back for her. She sut alone
In Jack Burroughs* stalled machine.
Jack and his wife had wulked in, be
ing due at an Important function.
"You;" Sylvia's toiio matched the
intention of hor glance.
"Even 1, Sylvia." he replied with a
rueful grin. "Fate Is sometimes de
cent A fellow has to risk what wel
come Is coming to him."
"It was horrid of the Burroughes to
send you. but they had to get to that
dinner, I suppose! My ankle still re
fuses to lot me walk far, or I'd havo
gone with them afoot"
Tall and fair, cap in hand, he was
standlDg with an offered hand to help
her down and into his own little run
about But she did not move. Ills
glance followed herp to the gleaming
object held fearfully In her lap. Ho
toolr both band and pistol as she ex
plumed.
"Jack would leave it when I insist
ed on their going and sending back the
first respectable person they met"?
"Thanks! Are you coming?" Ho
pocketed the weupou. But she only
removed her big hat and veil.
"Yon know why I'm afraid! You're
worse than a pistol. I can't trust you."
Her tone was. quite serious. "Next
time you ask me to marry you I shall
do something desperate! I would al
most prefer staying here alone. Oh.
Max, would you. for once, tako mo
straight home? And behavo? * You
used to be nice when we were chil
dren."
?1 won't propose, in the car, I prom
ise. But I will not tike you straight
home? it's too early? you and the moon
are too divinely fair. I don't want to
behave especially, but since I must I
will. I will vary the program by ask
ing you not 'Will you have me? but
'Why Is It that you won't have me?*
Come?'
Finally she reached him her hand,
but without excuse he suddenly took
her In his arms and lifted her to his
car. For a few minutes they sped
along with tbo June breezes freshen
ing on their faces. At length ho spoko
frankly, quietly:
"Sylvia, let's talk it over. I may
have annoyed you-I may have mado
n fool of myself imploring you to bo
mine times innumerable, like a comic
opera hero with the same old song. I
don't know how to say It many ways.
It all comes to the same thing? mar
riage or not. But I love you."
It pleased blm to be whimsical, and
Sylvia laughed. It was a change from
the dead serious, anyway. He was
never modest about his real worth.
He continued:
"1 am lovable, too, with an affection
ate disposition. What Is the matter,
Sylvia? Please tell me. I will not
ask you again? in the car? I promised
?and never again at all once I seo you
do not love me. You have never flatly
denied that you know."
He turned his face away that she
might speak freely If she would. Not
that she had ever been embarrassed
with him; he wished she had. At last
she spoke:
"You bring this on yourself. I don't
feel polite. You always make me so
irritable and unlovely. I want to fly
when I see you coming. I came out
with the liurroughses to be rid of you
and to save them from each other's
company. I can't tell you Just why It
Is, but the sight of you makes mo
contrary, and I cannot say what you
want me to."
Speeding a little more, ho turned to
hec coolly.
"You are never unlovely, Sylvia.
Just how do I Irritate you?"
They glided on through the soft
dusk between the dark, sweet breath
ing woods and lighter meadow lands.
; On and on they came, nearer the city,
whose myriad lights seemed to flash
! toward them from the dim hills.
"And you make mo think when I
don't want to. It's like pushing some
thing away that you do not want to
com? too close. 1 simply don't seem to
want to be married. I"? She stopped
short.
"Is that it? Of course you have to
decide that. What Is it you do want
In your life, Sylvia? To grow old
alone? Your aunt won't always live.
Do you want to earn your own living?
Do you know of anything that would
be a satisfactory substitute for mar
ried love? Do you want to study somo
art or a profession? medicine, for In
stance? Do you want to be an old
maid and remember that you had a
lover who. man and boy, would do
anything? die for you, live for you
and with you and give you what hap
piness he could coax from the scheme
of things? Don't I interest you? Must
I loso my money or must I take sick
and almost die or save somebody in
somo romantic stunt to make myself
Interesting? I want to know where I
am, what I can do. Are you tired of
seeing me about? I might go away a
few years. Shall I?" She laughed at
his ridiculous, half practical, half sen
timental vein so characteristic of him.
"Perhaps I am Just too used to you,
Max. You used simply to say you
wero going to marry me. The last
year you have teased me by asking mo
till you make me cross. I don't know
Just how I do feel. I can't seem to
get any perspective on you? or on mar
rlage at all. You seem to stand bo
tweou me and understanding. I am
not a coward, but think of the respon
sibility! Seo the Burroughes-alwaya
on the ragged edge o t a qnarrvU, un
divorced simply because the only thing
they agree on Is bating a scandal! If
Kitty had said no the y, might bytl*
have been happy. It's a big thing? bo
lntf responsible for a man's happiness,
esrieclally if one mljjbt got t,o caw
very much, and I havo nobody of my
owb, really."
His pulses sang at her words, but he
forbade himself to reach for the hand
which lay on her lap ungloved. ;
"Really, Max, the uncertainty and
being bothered and all have put me on
tho verge of? anything, lately. I even
thought how soon that llttlo pistol
would decide things for met If this
goes on I shall certainly study- medi
cine, or Jump from a moving train, or
let myself be carried off by Dick Den
ton I"
She certainly needed some one to
look after her, ho rejected. Bo re
membered that the mother sh# never
know had died of a broken heart This
might make her a little bitter aqd
afraid. She seemed to havo finished
speaking. He had determined what to
do. Ho spoke In a most mutter of fact
way, dismissing sentiment
"I want something I left at the
bank," ho said. "I havo dad's key.
Would you mind If 1 stopped there a
minute and at tbc Leader offico?. 1
forgot a notlco that must be la the
morning issue."
They were entering tho city. She
acquiesced, her head a little dlzxy, her
heart sinking at his silence. Had sho
mudo him think she could nevo^? caro?
Would he never ask her again? What
she thought she was losing because
suddenly precious.
When they were on their way home
another fear stole, over bar. . Had sho
unconsciously shown her heart? fine
wished for tho mother sbo had never
known? the lovely, Bad mother they
had told her of. They wero entering
the driveway.
He helped her out and walked to tho
door with hqr. With her hand on the
latch, she looked at him timidly, wist
fully. a new look for Bylvla.
"Good night" sho Just breathed.
"They are all out yet"
"Just a moment Bylvla," and he
drew her by the hand fcoo) the porch,
across the lawn, to the old elm whero
they had played as children.
"Sylvia"? bo lot go her hand and
faced her? "you fear the tespontlbU
lty? I do not! I will gnawer for your
happiness, which Is my wk Can't
you bellevo me? I got mother's old
ring from the bank. Now, for. tho last
time, in spite of what you havo said, I
ask yon to marry me. Will you. Syl
via?" v v n<
Ho stooped to catch her low an
swer, but the sound of voices and steps
came from the porch. '? -
"They are coming home," eh? whis
pered. He took her by tho shoulders.
"Answer me, Sylvlal" Tears stood
on her cheeks as she laughed a little,
pushing him from her as she .said:
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ho. fott his arm
about her, his kiss on her llps^.hlc ring
on her linger. And sho was content
When at last he was leaving her sho
vhlspervxi demurely:
"I said 1 would do something des
perate?and I have? you aro accepted!
I deserve anything for being. so rash!
When shall yon tell auntie?"
"Tell auntie to find the announce
ment m tho morning paper."
Sylvia gasped. But what was tho
use of scolding abont what was done?
An Anoient Industry.
It would be difficult to say where
exactly and at what date the manufac
ture of cotton fabrics began. In com
paratively modern times, says Oonntry
Life, It has become an Industry of Im
portance In Europe, but It, has flour
ished In the east from a period too re
mote to admit of calculation. Tho
Egyptians certainly usfcd ' both cotton
and linen materials, for fragments of
such stuffs have bpen preserved among
the other relics of their ancient civi
lisation, and there Is much rcasoc to
believe that the elaborate draperies of
tho Assyrians were cotton-er -muslins
finely woven and of delicate texture.
In China, too, and India tho same
kinds of material have been the com
mon wear of the people from time Im
memorial. In fact, every where thtough
ont tho east cotton fabrics Ken .pro
duced and used long before tho primi
tive Europeans had begun to dowlop
any of the graces of civilization or In
deed had ceased to bo anything but
skin clad savages.
Moat Awkward.
An old, steady going farmer wu ac
customed to rldo to the market town
upon a rather bad tempered horse.
One day his man Bob brought the
animal, which was especially vicious
that morning, to tb? door, tho bone
trying to bite and kick and giving a
good deal of trouble. - -
The farmer mounted the horse with
Bome difficulty and began to. walk It
ont of the yard when Bob, who still
entertained 111 f eellag against .the ani
mal. picked up .a stono .aud flung It at
him with all his force; but, alas, his
aim was erratic, and the .missile strode
his master on tho head.
naif dazed for a moment, the farmer
turned slowly in hia saddle, and, not
suspecting the real cause of the blow,
he measured with his eye the hone's
hind hoofs and his own bead and, net
tling himself in the saddle again,
started off with the, remark, "Well, to
