“Ain't you glad that eggs Is flow*
again, Evelina?” asked the grocery
man of the pretty cook, according U>
‘.he Chicago Daily News
'Why should I be gladT” asked the
cook.
'Well, that's so. You don’t have to
pay for 'em, do you?" said the grocery- |
man. “It. don’t make no difference to j
you, o’ course, but. it’s been tough on
the rest of us. f’ve been egg-hungry
all winter, but. the lady who keeps the
house where I boa'rd didn’t have chick
ens, so I’ve been sort of up against
it ’ This last week or two since the
market loosened she’s been a odakin up
for lost time. I feel as if I was sproutin' |
pin feathers. I’ve had hard-boiled eggs.
poached eggs, scrambled eggs, soh>
boiled eggs, e§£ custard, egg omelets,
friend emZ, agg salad, ham aad eggs,
egg sauce, egg oa toast, egg i^juuhafle
and eggs every other old way. The other
evenia’ I burnt nay nr&ers, pullin' off a
hot lamp chimney att' they gave me
white of egg shampoo otwf Just aa free
•as water. I had a egg shampoo at the j
barber shop ou Sunday morning. Hon- ;
est, I'm ashamed to look a ten in the
face.”
“I sh’d think you would be,” Mud the
pretty took.
”1 ad, that'* straight, rva been raised
honest, a*' tfca boss knows kt. He'll let
me sell goods in thwatore any time I ain’t
deliverin’ an’ take the money for 'em. i
don’t care if be does have a cask regis
ter an' good eyesight—it’a suthin’ to
have a man trust you. All the same,
when I’ve been openin’ up a case of ages
L’va been tempted many a time tjW* win
ter to swipe one or two aa' trust to mak
ln’ my get-away afore they was missed.'
”I£ I'd a' known that I’d have gives
you a chance,” said the pretty cook
"An' I wouldn’t have applied for no ex
try edition papers to have you brought
back,” she added. “I’d ’a' thought U
cheap at a egg or two.”
"You're joshin’,” said the groceryman.
"IX I jumped this town you’d spend ah
your wages advertisin’ for me in the per
a nal columns—Johnny. It was a hor
ribie mistake. Come back. Evelina.’ ”
"Don’t you fool yourself,” said the
pretty cook. "Are thes® you’ve brought
me fresh?”
“Strickly fpseta," but not ’guaranteed
itrickly fresh,’ ” replied the groceryman.
"Bet what are you changin’ the conver
sation for? You can’t make me believ®
you wouldn’t feel bad It you d*4n’t see
me any more.”
“I know I can't,” retorted the pretty
aook. "That’s the trouble.”
“You want to take warnin’ by what
I’ve said about the eggs,” said the
groceryman. “I knew a feller wunst
who had a girl that just nachully
thought the world of him, but she wus
4nnl mnnlinllw all v am' ciVirinlrin' 1 i lro VfHI
are, Evelina, an' she didn’t let on she
cared a dern whether he come around
to see hsir or not. An’ he hung around
hankerin’ for a kind word an’ a sweet
smile, jest like I—hankered for them
eggs when the guaranteed was 45 a
dosea. An' finally, jest when he was
givln’ up hope, she loosened uiv-^just
like the egg market—an’ he got sweet
i smiles an’ kind words served up to him
In every style. Well, he go so many h«
shuddered every time a hen cackled.’’
"Eggs?” said the cook.
"Never mind,” said the grooerymnn,
as he reached for his basket. “You’re
next, all right, If I am mixed. Farewell,
haughty beauty, but r-remember, a time
will come,"
“It’s come now,” said the cook. "Time
you traveled. Pass on."
Bit of WestmorelandL
The vVestmoreiand hills are the rw
mains of an infinitely older world
giants decayed, but of a great race and
ancestry; they have the finish, the
! delicate or noble loveliness—one might
• almost say the manner—that comes of
! long and gentle companionship with
j those chief forces that make for nat
j ural beauty—with air ana water, with
! temperate suns and too abundant
| rains. Beside them the Alps are in
; human; the Apennines, mere forest
grown heaps—mountains in the mak
j ing; while all that Scotland gains from
the easy enveloping glory of its heath1
orl Westmoreland, which is almost
beatherless, must owe to an infinitude
of fine strokes, tints, curves and group
ings, to touches of magic and to Unea
of grace, yet never losing the wild
energy of precipice and rock that be
longs of right to a mountain world.—
