Why Not Smoke the BEST How Harry Reilly, just out of col lege. quarrelled with his wealthy father because that self-willed olc gentleman insisted that a position in Reilly's Unrivaled Soap factory was more to be desired than a literary career, and how young Rejlly sudden: ly found himself without pocket money and glad to accept the super- intendentship of a country school, ¢ a long and painful story. But certain it is that he did not enter into his pew work in the best of humors, and a8 Maisie Ashford had red hair and a rather positive way of saying things, be relieved the monotony of his new life by teasing her. Maisie retailiated with spirit worthy of her auburn locks; she rebelled against the rules he made, and stirred up the other teachers to do likewise; she studied the lives of the presidents and demanded a holiday on every pres- idential birthday, and she wrote her reports in Latin, which Henry when at college had considered a ‘“dead lan- guage for dead people” and carefully neglected. Before many weeks there was open war between them, but the balance of power was in Harry's favor. He soon found that nothing annoyed Malisie more than his constant supervision of her work, so his polite knock sounded at her door all through the day, and he would sit in uncompromising si- lence while she heard her classes. She therefore set to work with char acteristic daring to stop his visits to ber room. In furtherance of her plan she ap- peared at his desk one afternoon, looking very innocent and guileless. “Mr. Rellly,” she ventured timidly, “when I was out with the botany class yesterday I thought that I saw a swamp lily, but it was too far out in the swamp for me to get. Still with help I might secure it for our collection. They're very rare, you know.” When school was dismissed that afternoon the amazed teachers saw the new superintendent, armed with spade and bucket, accompanying Maizie Ashford down the road toward the woods. They had reached the densest part of the swamp when Malzie stopped and pointed to a small fsland of tuft that rose from a sea of bog. ‘There it is” she announced, “but you'll never be able to get it." Harry selected a plank from a near by fence, lald it from one patch of Quivering sedge to another, and crept cautiously out upon it. After a close inspection of the tiny green plant that Maizle had pointed out he raised his head in disgust. “This fsn't & swamp lly—it's a common irls. You've plenty of these already.” Then he turned and saw that Maisle had quietly removed the plank. He stared at her in blank amase- ment and she returned the look de- flantly. “Before I put it back,” she explained, trembling at her own temerity, “I want you to do me a favor.” “A favor? cried the {indignant Harry, squirming uncomfortably on his tiny fsland. “We'll talk about favors when you put back that plank.” “But,” she answered, sweetly, I shan’t put it back until you do me the favor. All I want is for you to write me a letter asking me to marry you.” “To marry you? Are you sure that's all?” gasped Harry. He looked aboyt him desperately, but the bog was over his depth on all sides, and his only chance of escape was the plank which a certain deter- mined little red-headed woman was holding. He saw that he was trapped, 80 he took off his hat and made her As graceful a bow as the limited space permitted. “Mndam.” he sald, “T am at your service” Then drawing out his fountain pen, “Please what shall 1 say in this tender epistle? You can't expect me to feel inspired.” Maisle ignored that unkind thrust and began to dictate. “My darling Matsle, for how can I call you Miss Ashford when every heart heat, grow- ing tumultuous at the sound of your footsteps, proclaims you my own Iit. tle Maisle. I know that you scorn me, but it is the strong man’s pride to tell his love. S0 now I repeat that I love you, love you, love you.” To her surpris-, Harry Rellly bl:lhtd. the mar dullred blush, which may mean e her anger or em- muttered, “that I was an 80 by coming.” s In sflence she replaced the plank and in silence they trudged the vikge, ey back to iy Romance at Last Nancy Bafins had lived to be thirty years old, and never a bit of romance had come into her life. When that is said, it is to be under- stood that she had never had a lover. It must be further understood that Nancy wasn't ravishingly handsome and she didn’t have a form to remind one of a willow bending this way and that in a half-gale. Living in the country as she did, and knowing many hired men as she did, some folks thought it queer that Nancy Baffins had not entangled one of them. But the old maid’s romance came at last. Steve Croker came to work for Farmer West, the mext oeighbor on the north, and within a week he was in love. It might be sald that Steve had sized himselt up before sizing Nancy. He was bow-legged. He was lop- shouldered. He had but one good eye. He was a little deaf in one ear. He had red chin-whiskers, and if he didn’t look out for it, when he talked he found himself stammering. No Steve Croker was no Apollo, and he knew it. For years he had realized that unless he found and fell in love with a homely woman there could be 00 happy fireside for him, “I have found her at last,” he said to bimself after his first peep at Nancy. And from that hour on there was a song in his heart. Just as soon as they were engaged, which event took place after Steve's sixth evening call, she began to pester him. That is, she asked him if he was willing to dle for her. “I dunno about that” was his doubtful reply. “You see, if I should die you'd lose me and I you” Nancy was disappointed in Steve. He wasn't a hero, and evidently didn’t want to be. “You don't love me,” sald Nancy. “Yes, I do. I love you oceans and oceans.” “But if there was an elepbant after me?” “A big one?” “Big as a baystack” “Yes, yes." “Say, Nancy, I'd walk up to him and kick both his tusks off and then boot bim Into the next county!"” That satisfied the old maid for a day or two, and then she got to think- ing how remote such a contingency was, and she found herself on the edge of a grouch. She didn't sigh for an imaginary hero, but one on the spot—an up-to-date one. A few days later Steve came over to help her pick cherries. He had climbed to the top of a tres whea Nancy called up to him: “Steve, do you love me?” “As much as all the water in Lake Erie!” he answered. “Then be a hero. Let go and come tumbling dowa!" “And break my dinged neck! No siree! I've got to have a neck on me after we get married.” There was another pouting spell, and Nancy didn't throw kisses after the nonhero as he climbed the fence and started for home. It does seem as It male lovers ought to be more obliging, but take them as they run and they are a selfish lot. Nancy re- alized it and was offish for a week. It might have been for longer had not Steve come to say: “l don't know anything about this hero business you talk of, but I'll tell you what I'm willing to do for your sake.” “Oh, Steve, you are nice now!" “We have lost a pitchfork in the horse pond and are going to drain the water off tomorrow. Il wade through it first, if you say so0.” “Will you?r” “I surely will. There's two feet of water in it.” “Only two feet?” “And as much as a foot of mud. | may get mired and lose my life" “Ohb, but you won't—I know you won't! Steve, it isn't a bit heroic for & man to wade around in a horse pond.” “Then what in thunder to do? The poor girl couldn't tell him, and her pillow was wet with tears that night. Steve was good, but he ¥as 50 unromantic and unherofe. Why couldn’t he de just a little qir. ferent? There was another “off" spell with the lovers, and then one day, as Steve was hoelng the corn bhe Aad planted when he first fell in love, be eaw Naney driviag fato town with the old white horse. 8he had passed by 4 quarter of & mile whea he heard the am [ going | adesessras) & asid,y Midd 13y 404w |IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE | TENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA, IN AND FOR POLK COUNTY—IN CHANCERY. | Frederick D, McDonald vs. Sarah !
