but ,lethr<>'; I:*i uuatlon for Andadra
Waylaml could I counted upon as a
topic of conversation year In and year
out.
When .let hro had been a great,
gawky lad of nineteen and Andadra a
sentimental lip of seventeen-year-old
femininity he had kissed her and had
asked her to wait for him. Afterward
lie never could tell how he had achiev

figure.
If tongue could have spoken his love
as eloquently as his eyes Concordia's
matchmakers would have ? eased to
worry.
Then suddenly Jethro went away.
Connected with his departure was no
Incident, but his return was eventful.
To bo sure, he planned to spend a
week end with his grandmother, but
to Coticordivns a Journey of 200 miles
was s?'' lethlns n: re than an event,
and i ran!, ally tlie whole town saw
Jethro off.
It gave him a rather good opinion of
himself, and he bore himself with dig
nity on the Journey. II ? assumed the
airs of a t' tveler of long experience,
and when rite t i n : < ? came for his return
he appr. ached the railroad station

had felt when he went to take the
train at Co-: 'ordla.

In the wi !i roo half a d07.cn men
were pi; ylug '' irtN with a suit ease

Instead of the decorous, well groom
ed city travelers he had expected to
find, some twenty flashily dressed wo
men were scattered through the car.
As he appeared one tiny little wo
man with hnir obviously bleached set
up a cry of "Look who's here!" and
the other nineteen obeyed the com
mand. Now. even a city man may well
quail before twenty actresses. What
chance had Jethro against their rail
lery?
He was good looking, with an ath
letic figure, but his clothes and his
manner bespoke the man of the small
town. His confusion was Immensely
diverting to the women members of
the burlesque company, who were only
too appreciative of a break In the mo
notony of travel.
In a moment they had flocked about
him nnd were plying him with ques
tions. Stammerlngly he explained that
he was merely inn kin hi> * 'C to
wnrd the forward part of the train.
Tlioy would not accept the oxpln na

"Now, honest. ltciiben, you < nine to

"You're n sl.v old boy, and you ca'i t

"It's Jethro." he explained. vaguely
conscious that "Reuben" held some
hidden meaning not altogether free
from sarcasm. "It's Jethro Hawkins,
and 1 didn't come to see you. I got on
the tail end of tJie train, and I want
to go to one of the regular cars. I don't
know what this car Is. but I guess It's
a lunatic asylum."
A roar of laughter erected Hie com
ment, and the soubrette patted the
bronzed cheek appreciatively.
"You're all right. Jethro." she iri d
laughingly. "This Isn't the fool! !i

we have to have many more of these
long jumps. Tills Is the Gotham Gale

"I don't want no ? lsit." declared
Jethro. but his wldies counted for
naught. The coini any ? ?: train tlrd

They enjoyed Jethro's embarrass

Jethro came up with a jnuntincss that
in him was astonishing.

plained. "I've something I want to

"Anything you can't tell me now':"

"Oh. I don't know," was the assur

to marry me. and I meant to do It

cheek, nose and forehead. The ariisi
at once selected him as a type of the
ancient Maori, but the members of the
tribe, however, said that lie was a
"nobody" and did not deserve the hon
or accorded to him. They explained
that lie had been a slave and that his
face had been splendidly tattooed In
order that his head could be sold nt a
great price in the daj- when traffic

Scripts and Manuscript*.
When a novelist delivers the manu
script of a book to his publisher his
troubles are over. He can iro away
and forget about It or sit down and
write another book. Rut when a
dramatist turns over the "script" of
his play to the stage manager his
troubles have Just begun; also, for
that matter, his fun, for putting on a
play Is probably the most trying and
amusing experience of the whole writ
ing Industry.
In fiction the autlior designs and
finishes the whole work, from concep
tion to execution. like a painter of
pictures. The manuscript of his story
Is practically the finished product as
it comes to the consumer, except that
It Is typewriting Instead of type. Hut
the manuscript of a play Is no more n
play which people will pay money to
see than an architect's blueprint is a
house for a family to live In.? Col
