FLA, JUN !na.llf. sl In Barbara’s " Garden By Molly McMaster | (Copyright, 112, Eg- Assoclated Literary 'ress.) Janice was not in love with either of her two good-looking suitors. Neith- er Jimmy, big and blonde, nor Caroll, lithe and dark, had caused her butter- fly heart to thrill. But Janice realized that either onc 1 decided to accept one of them. “Which shall it be?” she asked balf aloud. Even as the question formed it- self she caught sight of Jimmy's motor cycle and at the same time remem- bered Caroll's reputation as a sprint- er. Janice smiled. “I will marry the one of you who first brings me a bunch of one hundred pink sweet peas,” she exclaimed sud- denly. Both men cast aggrieved eyes at her. Sweet peas were as yet a scarc- ity, owing to the youth of the season, and there was but one garden in the village that boasted a green house. That one was a mile or more from the outskirts of the village. “One hundred pink sweet peas!” she called after them. Caroll had turned was worthy of her hand and she had | :e 7. 1912, 'oll glared at Jimmy. With a gradusl |lagging interest in sweet peas they {made their silent way to the summer ! bouse. | After a wash at the pump they took |up a position in the arbor where tMI |p|nk sunbonnet might remain wlthlnl |vision. They vouchsafed no word to | | each other and each was conscious of | !a desire to go back to the sweet pea { hedge and be near the girl who was | industriously clipping with her big scissors. | “Sylvia, dear!” they heard her call o some one in the house, “will you ring out a plate of my fresh cook- 52" A moment later Jimmy half started ; !from his seat. Caroll was already standing. A slim girl in a blue sunbonnet that half concealed a pair of laughing gray ! eyes came out of the house. She car- ried a tray upon which a plate of | cookies and a pitcher of lemonade in- vited the thirsty eyes. Jimmy and Caroll watched her join her sister beside the sweet pea hedge. A lauzh floated from under the blue bonnet and then the two girls made thelr way toward the summer house. One carrie! a bunch of pink sweet peas ind the other the tray. J @ only ninety-nine pink ones,” tone conveved regret. “Do you think—she—would count them?" “Sure to do so,” two masculine swiftly and swung Into his steady ath- letic run and Jimmy was dragging his motor cycle from under the apple tree, Caroll was a good three squares away when the cycle went off like a shotgun, causing Janice the usual jump at its flerce chugging. She sank down onto the cool ver- anda and then jumped up suddenly. A man bad turned in at the gate. A flush swept over her face and her eyes sparkled. “Billy!” she cried out, “I thought you were in South Africa!™ ‘The man took both little outstretched hands. “The same lovely Janice,” he smiled. “May I?" Down the road a man on wheels and & man on foot raced toward the long green house in the distance. Out in the garden, with pink sun- bonnet hanging from strings about her neck, Barbara tended her rows of bud- 8he Carried a Tray. ding sweet peas. She caressed each blossom with loving hands and snipped with her big scissors while she hummed a tuneful air. So busy was she with her flowers that when two men seemed literally to pounce upon her she smothered a startled scream. One was panting and breathless, the other was reeking with | dust and the odor of ol. ; “l want one hundred pink sweet | peas!" demanded the voices in perfect | unison. | Barbara had recovered herself and | now smothered a laugh. “I have not two hundred pink blos- | soms in my garden,” she told them. | “Only one hundred,” both men cor-| rected. They glowered at each other | with such feroclous eyes that Barbara half retreated toward the house. Her wide, beautiful, startled eyves brought both men to their senses and a realization of the spectacle they presented. Jimmy smiled sheepishly and apologized for his abrupt spee ch | and his bedraggled condition. Caroll { assumed his most deferential tone and | informed the girl in the pink on- | net that they were there on a wier Barbara laughed merrily. She seemed to have grasped the situation | as if by Intuition. “You are both tired and hot" she | sald with quick sympathy, “so if you care you may go and rest in that little summer house by the trees. There is a pump just beyond at which you can refresh both the exterior and interior man. I will endeavor to find a hun. dred pink blossoms,” she laughed agailn. “After that you will have to toss for them.” “There seemed to be bunches of them in that green house.” Jimmy sug- gested but with eager interest. He watched the pink clad figure bending over the flowers. “I send all my hot house }io<zoms | | to New York," the girl told 1 in g i her sweet voice. “The few cirly oute door ones are all T have to s “There may not be a hundre: in any | ' case,” remarked Caroll wi'h 3 sug- ' gestion of hope in his voice Rarbara smiled under « pink bonnet. “Perhaps trying to keep the la T0ize. “In that case, girl of your wager—w another method.” The e bonnet smiled at each turn “1 will do my best—howeve she con- soled them | of the said, of her | volces exclaimed, and with an air of cert:inty not to be questioned. “Oh, dear!” sighed the girl in the pink bonnet and turned to her sister in the blue. “Put the tray down any way, dear. Even if these gentlemen do not have to do another Marathon they may as well fortify themselves against the return.” “Barbara—couldn't you spare just one blossom from the hot house—to make up the—" “Not by any means!” Jimmy cried quickly. “It wouldn’t be fair!™ put in Caroll with a hasty look into the eyes be- neath the blue bonnet. The girl flusbed under the look. “Then you will just have to risk ninety-oine,” Barbara sald with well- modulated sympathy. Suddenly Jimmy smiled at Caroll and Caroll held out a hand to Jimmy. “She's yours, old man,” their volces were as one. The smile faded from each face and their glances drew “Since the gentlemen are so gener- ous—toward one another,” put fn Sylvia demurely while suppressed laughter played havoc with her voice, “perhaps we had better toss a coin to see which one wins the lady's—the sweet peas.” “1 am afrald my cycle is out of com- mission,” Jimmy lled. “I couldn't run another foot if T had a million at stake” Caroll lamented the fact with an exaggerated sigh of weariness, “You are a fine specimen!” Jimmy put in. “Your cycle must be a very cheap make,” Caroll remarked by way of re- turn, The twe men unable longer to re- strain themselves, burst into laughter. Silvery, rougish feminine laughter followed. Simultaneons'y Jimmy and Carroll put hands to their pockets and drew forth cards and placed them carefully upon the rough table. “My mother,” said Jimmy, “is pas- sionately fond of sweet peas!” “I have an aunt.” Caroll put in with tender inflection, “whose one hobby is a bunch of fresh sweet peas every day.” “In that case you must each have half of these. Rarbara blushed as she divided the blossoms. A momoment later a motor eycle that throbbed up the road and a man on foot, with no sign of fatigue, were being followed by two palrs of eves. The ones under the blue bonnet turned to the ones under the pink. “Shall we toss for them, Barbara?” But fate tossed, Instead, and the two irls found hushands by this chance meeting among the flowers. — A Mood. The following delightful bit by John (alesworthy is from the Atlantic Monthly: A quiet owl stole by In the field below, and vanished into tne heart of a tree. And, suddenly, above the moor-line, [ saw the large moon rising. Cinnamon-colored, it made all things swim, made me uncertain ot my thoughts, vazue with a mazy feel- ing. Shapes seemed but drifts of moon-dust, and true reality nothing save & sort of still listening to the wind. And for long [ sat, just watch. ing the moon creep up, and hearing the thin, dry rustle of the leaves along the holly hedge. And there came to me this thought: \What is this universe—that never had begin. ning and will never have an end—but a myriad striving to perfect pictures never the same, 80 blending and fad ing one into another, that all form one great perfected picture® And what are we—ripples on the tides of a birthless, deathless, equipoised Cre- ative Purpose—but little works of Art!
