W. CHILES LAKELAND, FLORIDA f l The' Jackson & Wilson Co | L . Maid o’ GhHre Woods Even the parents of Miss i.ea Jen- nings admitted that she was “notion- | al.” The term signified that she took rather strange ideas into her head. and was rather obstinate in having | her way about them. Miss Lea took a notion to learn por- trait painting, and made a faflure of it. She turned to ceramics and did not secure any, praise. She pottered with stained glass, byt it was only pottering. She wrote poetry, but she alone shed tears over it. She turned to story-writing, but the magazine, people returned her efforts with the usual printed regrets. Was there any- thing that Miss Lea Jennings could | do but wait for a marriage proposal from some eligible party? | There was, and the great wonder was that she hadn't thought of it soon- er. She could become an actress or write a play for some one already in the profession. It was touch and go for some time as to which she should do, but a theatrical manager finally induced her to decide on the play.' She wouldn't have to rehearse, sit up . nights, eat late suppers nor travel ' about, and the fame would be just as ' great. When Miss Lea announced her scheme to her parents they made no | opposition. If they had she would have decided immediately to write two plays instead of one. She was Just three days getting a title for her play. The manager had suggested a play laid in the woods—something primitive—something with wolves and | bears, and the nights so dark that a fox couldn’t see a big Shanghai roost- er two inches from his nose. Society plavs, the manager said, where hus- bands simply fell in love with (-horusi girls, and wives eloped with any old thing, were played out. What was wianted were thrills—action—howling winds and moaning birches, with ! plenty of dramatic situation to keep the audience entertafned. Mi announced that she was going 10 the woods to gee the local | surronnding<. Unele Joe lived up in the Adirondacks somewhere, and he had a shooting camp somewhere, and she would take her mald and become a denizen of the wild for a month or six weeks, It was summer, but she could im- agine the snow and gales, and the wolves and bears could be brought in if they dil not appear with their growls and howls. Uncle Joe was therefore uncovered and dusted :off, and in due time he located that shoot- | ing camp in the midst of nountain and forest and welcomed ihe playwright to the scenes of her labors. When she had been supplied with enough flour, hacon, potatoes and coffee to last her a month he vanished and the play was begun. The plot of the play was to have a city maiden fall in love with the fam. ily chauffeur, and her father lock her up in the cellar to let her forget the man she loved. The girl would make her escape from durance vile and walk and walk and walk until the city and its table d’hote dinners were left be- hind and the mountains and a log house reached. There she would write a postal card to her lover and send it down a mountain stream on a raft, where It would fall into the hands of her father. He would start at once to bring her back, but the chauffeur was to be reckoned with, In 80me way not yet figured out he was able to learn of the hut in the forest, and then it would be a race between him and the parent, each In a sixty- horse auto, as to who should reach her first. Mountains -— ravines — streams — dense forests—precipices—wild beasts —sndden jars and jolts, and the chauf- feur arrives just ten seconds ahead of the old man and starts a landslide which carries the other almost to his own doorstep and leaves him with a lame back. For the first week of her residence in the woods Miss Lea was so busy with her plot that she scarcely wan- dered ten feet from the door. beginning of the second week went looking for a precipice. She felt that one ought to be worked into the play somewhere and somehow The head salesman in a gents’ furnishing store at $18 per week might have kept his bump of location in that tangled distriet, bur Miss Lea hady't traveled a hundred rods before she was all turned around. When she realized this she was frightened and thought =8 Len At the ~'ho! only of pushing on in some direction. That day, from a club house three or four miles distant, Hall Ridgway, the sculptor, had set out with rod and line to fish a mountain brook. He had | been at it for two hours, casting his line here and there, when the sound of a woman's voice calling for hplp§ caught his ear. It was from the hill- side behind him, and after making sure that he was not deceived he re-‘ plied to the calls and began a scram- ble that ended only when the crest of the wooded and jagged hill was reached. Every minute or two he had called out, and every minute or twe the voice of a woman had answered to guide him. “Good heavens, but what are vou do. ing here!” This to Miss Lea Jennings, who sat on a rock with her hat gone, skirt in ::::l::: :'"“f':fiig:’s:;m;l:} and the g RED CEA\IEI\’T mmSED BR l‘ l\ tatters, hair down and a look so for He wasn't disturbed :!m" o 3 CALL AND SEE THENM.

You! thought it wonld be smart to galivant through the woods alone. If I hadn't happened to hear your calls you might have wandered about for three days. It's a wonder you haven't broken your neck. I'll take you to the cabin, but you deserve to pass one night in the woods to teach you a lesson.” } “l can find the cabin by myselt,” ' retorted the girl, though rather mildly. “You can do nothing of the kind.! Don’t make matters worse by being | impertinent. Come on.” i “I—I think—" i “So do I! Give me your hand. By thunder, but 1 come up here to fish, | and scarcely catch my first trout when a smart Aleck of a girl goes and gets | lost and | must sacritice hours to ! rescue her!" | Miss Lea tried to pull her hand away. No use! She hung back. The sculptor was the stronger. They were | a full hour in reaching the cabin. The girl gritted her teeth and was silent as they toiled along, but every two or three minutes the man indulged in a growl. At the door of the cabin Miss Lea tried to regain her lost dignity, but Mr. Ridgway smiled for the first time and said: “Don’t try fright.” A month later Miss Lea reached home. She said she had had a very good time, and she looked it. She had been home a week when her father carelessly asked about the play. “t didn’t finish it,” was the reply. “But why? Weren't the environ- ments all right?” “Excellent. One of them will be here in a day or two to ask your con- sent to our marriage. His name fs Mr. Ridgway, and he 1s a sculptor and a swearer. He, says I'm flighty and notional and need a strong hand, and 80—s0—I'm going to accept his.” it. You look llke a Good New Zealand Law.
