' THE TRUCK . PATCH By JEANNE 0. LOIZEAUX R S RS P e (Copyright, 1912, by Assoclated Literasrv Press.) As the six o'clock stream of shop girls came from the side entrance of the big store, Mamie let it carry her along. She lifted her thin hands to pin the big, flamboyant hat to bher tously fair hair. Her thin shoulders stooped a little, and she walked with the weariness of the first enervat: It was was "°P‘!!‘l Baturday night, an, ¢ Was W a Tedlly satle ing if she could affo fying supper. A big, browned, awkward young fellow came up from behind and fell into step with her. She started nerv- ously, and some girls behind her gig: gled. “It's only me, Mame. I won't eat you!" I told you not to hang about for me,” she said. “I don't ‘hang about’ for any girl, and you know it. 1 purposely got here just in time to catch you. When are you going to marry me?”" “Never, and you know it. I've sald it often enough.” She gave a back: ward glance and saw that the other girls had fallen behind. Williams, the floor manager, was with Flossie Peters. Mamie despised Flossie. “Is it that little counter-jumper that's worrying you?” asked the man beside her. “If you wanted a real man, one that had either good in- tentions, strength, or a prospect of a home to give you, I'd let you go. But I'll take Williams by the back of the neck and drown him like a kitten if he doesn't let you alone! 1 can't even tell you what sort he is. You'd be fool enough not to believe me.” They still kept on her way home, and now turned up a quieter side street. Young Graves was silent a moment. “Look here, Mamie. Two years I've known you, and watched you get thin and pale at starvation wages and work you admit you hate. You know I can take good care of you. You know [ think a lot of you. 1 never wanfed to marry v other girl. 1 would make it easy for you I've always had an idea that you could—love me, {f you would let vourself. Tell me why you won't, It's onuly fair.” She shrugged her evarsive, “We've got to hurry. I'm going out tonight. Do you think [ want to get married to a hayseed and set. tle down on a truck patch?”’ She was a little fierce, as she turned on him. I've had enough work and commonness, | want some fun. Why —don't you dress like other fellows? You're all right— but the girls make fun of me about you. She paused and he gave a hard little laugh. “So that's ft! Say, have you seen my ‘truck patch?” You never will go out there! Do you know I've a house, paid for, and a pretty place, and that the garden-truck you make fun of has put money in the bank for you to have everything you need on? Do you know how independent it makes me? I'm my own boss, not! likely to Lhave my head cut off by the first manager that doesn't like the looks of me. 1 don't have to dress and smoke up all my wages. | And 1 haven't the morals that allow | a fellow to sport around and egcape responsibility. You'd better think a little. 1 want a wife--not any girl— but just you, to take care of all her life, and 1 can make good on the proposition. Say, do you think a cad like Williams intends to marry you! Do you?” The girl turned pale, “That's not—your affair.” “It's my business to protect you, whether you choose to marry me or not, and I'll do it. Are you going to that cheap dance hall again tonight —with Williams?" She shook her head. “I've got to dance and have some fun. 1 can’t it in a hot little room all evening. I'm going with—some girls.” *“S0 he can dance with you without even the bother of taking you there? 1 see. And, Mame, do you think | wouldn't have spruced up if that's all you wanted? Did you? What time do you start?” “Eight,” she said, at the door of her boarding house. He stopped a| moment and looked at her. Then he rald good-night abruptly and walked swiftly to the first car going down- town. The stores were still open and | hig bank book was in his pocket. He! would have to hurry and go without supper, but he did not mind that. | At eight Robert Graves was waiting | on the little stuffy boa 12 house | | porch. He was shaved <od | from nedk to ! good shoulders, still (T She from her 3 ug to ta u t said. “We can t too, if you like.” d in astonishment, and a ' sor ide in him rose in spite ot herself | “You have your—mnerve!” As she “Can you dance?” Her made him wince. | *“I can do a lot of thinge, but I'm contempt iow I do them. i nds?" Ti L't f I'm not there. Come on'” This was better than he had hoped. | He did not rezlize that instantly she {had resolved to use him to make Williams jealous. His good looks | were not lost on her. The dance was cheap. The mem were cheap, the music, the move ment. The atmosphere was unvhob! some. It was close and hot, and ehu.l perfume made the air heavier. Mamie and Graves swung themselves into the | waltz then in progress, and she unl an foner gasp of rellef. He could dance! No one better! Other girls ' looked at him. At the 2’y close Williams came up, suavely, leaving Flossie with a dark look on her face. “My dance,” spid he to Mamie, and lied. Save for the Presence of this big young stranger with the girl be would ::t have danced with ber. He was too sure of her. The girl moved toward bim, the slightest im- pulse of a movement, murmuring the men's names to each other, Both bowed, but Graves put his arm around Mamle, catching the step. “You're mistaken. This dance is promised me. So are all the others.” He swung away with her. She tried for a moment to be angry, but could not. Willlams stood lowering a mo- ment. Flossie also had deserted him, At the end of the music Mamle ex- postulated. It would not do. He must dance with some one else. She would introduce him. She must dance with some one else—just for the looks | of it! Graves led her to a window for a breath. “There {8 not a man in this room who looks fit for you to dance with. You're half-exhausted, over-heated— watch your own breathing! You didn't take time for a decent supper. Go back for your wrap—no, I'll go, too—and we'll get something to eat. Then if you want to come baek"— He wrapped the cloak about her and together they went down the dirty stairs to the street. Williams fol- lowed unnoticed. It was not more than nine, but a gudden storm was rising, dust blew in their faces and a queer sultriness was in the air. He drew Mamie's| hand into his arm and held her close: ly. They walked a few blocks, and the darkness deepened. She clung to| him. “Where are we - going?” “I'm trying to get on to a decent street where 1 think 1 can find a place where 1 would take you for something to eat, Mamie—is that) place any real tun to you? Is that—| cad—" Without warning, a shuflle of feet) behind them and an angry voice made Graves push the girl in front of him, “Cad, am 1?7 I'l show you—" Williams, aud an ugly bulk of man beside him came up beside them. Graves did not slacken his speed. He pushed Mamie around a corner where a street lamp burned dimly. A po liceman almost ran into them. A car was coming along also, and he| stepped into position to nail it, at the same time speaking to the offi cer. “Kelley,” he said. “These fellowe are drunk and annoying us. Walt| till 1 take the lady home and I'll come down to headquarters and give information.” But the two took teo their heels, the officer nfter them. Graves put the trembling girl on the car, found her an inside seat, and sat down, guarding her. He did not speak, knowing she was on the edge of tears. He handed the conductor the fares and took transfers. They would not take them near Mamic's hoarding house. “Where are we golng?” was childlike, questioning, “We,"” he said, emphasizing the pronoun, “are going out fo the truck patch, to our own home. My sister Her tong is there, and tomorrow we are to be married. Grace will take care of you tonight. There has been enouch of this sort of danger for you, Mamie Hasn't there?” His ear was quick but he caught no answer She turned her head and looked where the sudden spring rain was beating at the car windows. Then she leaned close against the strong arm, wear ness in every line of her slender body, vielding to his demand heart and soul. They walked five blocks past va. ! cant lots in a drenching rain, e in| his shirt sleeves after wrapping his new coat about her. As they reached | the yard where far back stood his lttle brown cottage with the light burning in the window, he drew her very close to him. “Mamie,” he said, “you w with me. don't you?
