CLONTS : | TiE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JANUARY, 9, 1912, ' S ———— A WOMAN SCORNED By LESLIE DAVIS (Copyright, 1911, by Amsociated Literary Fress) “Really, now, you must be serious and help me with this affair. I'm positively worn out with it all.” Mar- tha Gardner's voice carried a wistful note, although she laugned as she spoke. “It's been going on all sum- mer and I'm at my wits’ end.” “Then begin at the beginning, Mar- tha,” suggested her cousin, Reba King. “We've had only scraps of informa- tion so far to work on.” “Very well, but I warn you that it's a tragedy. I met him in June at the Smiths’ dinner party. He sat beside me and we got along beautifully to- gether. 1 liked him from the first and I thought he seemed to be rather— well, impressed himself.” “Omit the modest depreciations, Martha,” interrupted Reba’s twin sis- ter, May. “You might as well say to begin with that he was hard hit; they all are. I never saw such a girl for conquets.” “Nonsense! Well, he asked to call, and came, and then affairs went with a rush. He took me to plays and out for lovely rides in his little car, ana brought books and we had such nice comfortable evenings reading them. For a miracle, Aunt Ada liked him. I think she really missed him when he stopped coming.” “He stopped coming? Why?” “I don't know why. Didn't I tell you it was a tragedy?” “You mean to say that he just stop- ped without any reason or explana- tion or anything?" “Exactly, The last time I spoke to him was at Mrs. Bullard’s party. We had several dances together, then I saw him talking to Jerome Holden in the hall, and after that he left.

Instead of going directly home, she turned rather aimlessly into a side street. She wanted to think it all out again, though there was not a single part of her dilemma that she had not gone ‘over many times before. She hated to own, even to herself, how much she cared, but she did care very much. She admitted it with a little | catch of the heart. And she was sure that he did, too. That was the queer part of it all. The man loved her, she knew he did. There were a thousand little ways of telling. And they had been so happy together, so congenial from the begin- ning. A sudden moisture blurred her eyes. Martha winked quickly to clear her vision, turned a corner, and halted abruptly with surprise at what she saw. Dr, Jeffries’ little empty run- about stood before her at the curb. Evidently the doctor was making a call inside the house. With the sight, a swift idea leaped into Martha's head. “Practical, daring, humorous. I'll do it!" She looked carefully around to see if she were observed. It was a quiet, unfashionable neighborhood, no one happened to be passing. Martha walked up to the car and seated her- self beside the driver's seat. For five minutes she waited, her heart nearly stifiing her with its ex- cited jumping, then the door opened and Dr. Jeffries ran lightly down the steps, At the sight of her he stopped stock still, and his face went white. Then he gathered himself, “I'm sorry to have kept you wait- ing,” he addressed her, with a smile. “Oh, I haven't minded waiting in the least,” she returned politely. He went around in front and crank- | ed the car, then took his place beslde her and they were away. | Calmly Dr. Jefiries drove the Iltlln In the meantime, . whatever you dp, Martha, be practical | land daring, humorous if possible. | That's the modern method of doing car across the town, past the small | houses of the outskirts, and strm'k} out for the country.
