Ask the Inspector The Pure Food Store SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY Mrs. Meredith’s Method By TEMPLE BAILEY (Copyright, 192, by A “If you think,” her white arms a 1y, “if you think | 10se my freedom, ing a poor man you mistaken.” “Have girls lost il romance?” Little Mrs. Meredith's forehead was puckered in an anxious frown. “Why, am going to >, by marry- re very much thought only of love.” “And so you married dad, and you've had to scrimp and save and work and twist and turn. Oh, mother, has the game been worth the can-| dle?” Mrs, Meredith flashed a reproach- ful giance at her daughter. “Don't you think dad 18 worth everything?” “Qf course. But he's the one man in the world. All the rest aren't worth making sacrifices for.” “Walt till the one man comes to you,” sald little Mra. Meredith. “When you care for any one you are generous to a fault, and I'm half afrald that if you ever do fall in love you'll be positively too meek for words.” “Yet a moment ago you sald I had no romance,” Kathleen told her. “You haven't—yet, and I feel that you may make the mistake of run- ning away from sentiment.” “Never fear. Donald won't let me run. Why, mother, he simply moons around and makes eyes at me, until I'm almost crazy. He's so silly.” “He's in love,” said Mrs. Meredith, gently, "and he doesn’t moon. He's genuinely miserable, and you don't glve him credit for any depth of feel- ing.” Kathleen shrugged her shoulders. “I¢ being in love would make me act | T] i “Donald WIill Get His Revenge Some Day.” like Donald does,’ she said, “I'd—I'd want to disappear from the face of the earth.” “Donald will get his revenge some day,” said Mrs. Meredith, wisely, “you wait and sece. But Kathleen had no forebodings. “l don't want to get married, Don- ald,” she said, airlly, that night, “so please don't ask me any more.” He stood before her pale and un- | happy. *“I shall not rsk you,” he said, sternly. “I am goung away—to get over this." Kathleen stared at him. “Why, where are you going?” she demanded. “Abroad. My Aunt Betsy sent me a thousand dollars yesterday. She sald she belleved in giving money to people when it would do the most good, and not wait to die to let others get the benefit of wealth. I shall use my little fortune in learning to for- get you.” “But I don't want to be forgotten,” cried Kathleen. “I want to be friends —you know, nice good friends, Don- ald, without any silly sentiment.” Her tone was coaxing, but he did not smile, “Sentiment is not silly to me,” he sald. “My love for you is a part of my life; it will be lke cutting off an arm to give you up. But I'm going to do it, Kathleen. I can't be a man and hang around you as 1 have for the past few months.” He held out his hand, “Good-by and God bdless you,” he said. “Oh, good-by,” she responded fn & dased fashion, and laid her hand in his. Then she drew it away. “I won't say ‘good-by,’” she {insisted mutinously, *“not right this minute. Let's have a last walk together. You kuow Browning tells of a ‘Last Ride Together.’ It always sounded dread- fully romantic.” “Have you no heart?” he asked, looking down at her, severely, “or are you 80 heart-whole and fancy free that you do not understand how I suffer?” For a moment she was shaken out of her frivolous mod by his earnest- ness. “Oh, I didnt mean to hurt you," ghe said, “but please let's go for a walk.” And so he vielded ways done to her whin It was at a turn of the road that as he had al- ra |S ” I , they met Amnold Granger, - “May I walk with you?" he as I'l p 0. ow in his easy fashion. b | leave you now,” he said, “I—I have l | it he e her head, lazi- | self with the R oie \oune, Kathleen, [|snouldcr :How could [ know 1 was “Surely, emile flashed out, But as Arnold joined them, Donald stopped, *I must g0 many things to do.” And when Kathleen protested, his stern glance closed her lips. “It was to be our last walk” he said, in an “But vou could not keep cred to our parting.

She could not bring herself to con.rv her change of feeling. But she did write a contrite little letter, askjug pardon for her unkindness on that last day. But no answer came to the letter. “It serves you right,” said the wise mother, and that was all the sym- pathy that Kathleen received. ; She became a changed little Haiden. She was very quiet now, and pale. “I | put you on a horse in front of me, know what he suffered,” she cried, and when her mother found her one night weeping in the darkness of her room, “Oh, mother, please be sorry for me.” And her mother gathered her close, and said, “I can't be as sorry as I might, for love has made you feel, and that is the most wonderful thing that can happen to a woman.” But that night the little mother |& wrote a letter. “She loves you, Donald,” it sald, (£ “don’t punish her any more. I knew that if you went away she would wake up. That is why 1 told you to | & go. Come back, come back now—but hold your own—for the man Wwho grovels at the feet of a woman must | expect her to trample on his heart.” A month later Kathleen in the twi- (% light was playing the old song which | has such a sobbing cadence. “In the gloaming, oh, my darling, When the lights are dim and low, And the qulet shadows creeping, Softly come and softly go. “When the winds are sobbing faintly, With a gentle, unknown woe, Will you think of me, and love me, As you did once long ago?” Her fingers left the keys and her head went down on her arms. Then in the stillness she heard a voice: “Kathleen.” “Donald.” She sat up, listening. “I have come back.” His voice seemed to sound from the center of the room, but in the dark- ness she could see nothing. “Donald.” She groped her way to- ward the voice, and suddenly she was in his arms. “I shall never let you go,” he sald, masterfully, as he bent his head to kiss her. She tried to regain her old domin- fon over him. “You must leave it to me to say whether you shall go or stay,” she said. He laughed. “You shall have noth- ing to do with it, Kathleen,” he told her, “You may think I am a cave man or a savage, but anything is bet- ter than being a slave. And I'm go- ing to carry you off and marry you whether you say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ sweet- heart. And if you don’t come will ingly, I'm going to pick you up and ang run away with you.” Then she laughed. “Oh, I should love that, Donald. What do I care where I go, 8o that I go—with you?” MISTAKE LED TO SUCCESS Plodding Clerk Promoted Because the Private Detective Thought He Was Talking Shop. “One of the most successful business men in this town owes a good part of his success to a mistake I made in my salad days as a private detective,” sald the shrewd-looking man. “He was employed in a very unremunera- tive capacity by a wholesale merchant. There came & time when the merchant wished to promote somebody, but he didn’t know who deserved it most. He put the case to the manager of a pri- vate detective agency, and I was de- tailed to shadow the clerks and find out which of them talked shop most enthusiastically after working hours. “After three weeks of conscientious shadowing I recommended my lowly clerk. He talked shop every minute of the time with an intelligence I had never heard equaled. The report was turned in to my chief, but two days later the merchant requested an inter- view with me. I went around to his store, and there sat my clerk at his right band, figuring away for dear lite. I nearly fainted when I found they were dealing in dry goods. I don’t know whether the chief's expla- nation had lacked lucidity or wheth- er my wits had gone woolgathering; somehow, I had. got the impression that the man employing him was a brewer. Anyhow, that was all the young man talked about, and I had recommended him on the supposition that what he didn't know about beer wasn't worth knowing. Never once had I heard him mention dry goods, but I took mighty good care mot to let the merchant know it. Nobody ever could understand how the plodding clerk happened to be selected for pro- motion: he couldn't underetand it himself, but he had made the best Lakeland Artificial Stone of the opportunity, so no one ever had occasion to regret it THE EVENING TRLEGRAM LAK » gaid Kathleen, and her bt Piano in the House is company for everybody. ° real lonesomeness where ti, ; sic.
