NTRAL PHARMACY | "'d‘ Service Phone 25 By Bruce MacDonough (Copyright, 1912, by Associsted Literary Press.) “Evelyn, you dear thing!” Amy kissed her friend rapturously as they met in front of the tall studio bufld- ing. Miss Beers laughed as she returned the greeting with equal warmth. “What are you doing here, country mouse?” she asked. “Visiting Genevieve Blake; she's my cousin, you know. They have just moved into the building behind you— it's the quaintest place; full of artists and writers and the most charming studios—I helped them move in yes- terday, and I've only lost my way twice in the great barn of a bullding. Come in now and have a cup of tea.” “Some other day, Amy. You must be topsy-turvey up there now.” “No, indeed—the suite {s furnished completely. All we had to do was to settle the little things around. Gene- vieve and Ned have gone down to see their publishers and we can have a cosy time together. 1 told Mary to leave some tea things—it's her after- noon out." As she spoke, Amy led the way toward the elevators. “It's on the seventh floor,” she remarked as they shot upward. “Genevieve wouldn't have any other—she's very superstl- tlous, you know, and seven is her lucky number.” Amy continued to chatter as they left the elevator and walked down the long corridor. Her cheeks were unnaturally pink and her gray eyes wore rather a stralned look — so thought Evelyn Heers, who looked in valn for some trace of the old happy, light-hearted girl Amy Gay had been before che and her husband of a few months had gone separate ways, “Here it is—sulte A~ and, I declare, it that careless Mary hasn't left the door open.” Amy pushed the door wide and ushered her friend into a small inner hall. From there it was a step into a tiny reception room furnished in tan and dull blue, with a wicker tea table standing invitingly ready near an open window, “How charming!™ exclaimed Eve- Iyn as she ladd her parasol aside and drew off her gloves. Amy bhusied herself with the teakettle, lighting the lamp underncath with quick, nery ous Rrestures so contrary to her usually tranquil manner that Evelyn wias moved to venture upon the for- bidden tople “I met Allen the other sald casually “Yes?" asked Allen's wife, “He looked very down——" hegan Evelyn, and then stopped short at the look in Amy's face. *l heg vour pardon, dear,”” she ended quietly, “you said you didn't care,” “I don't,” declared Amy in a crisp tone, “Let us talk of other things.” Evelyn proceeded to do so, relating at considerable length the pleasures she had enjoyed at a recent house party In the country. “Is that where you met Allen?" de- manded Amy. “Yes.” “I thought s0—he always goes down to the Delmans’.” She stirred her tea day,” she | thoughtfully and, without lifting the lids that drooped over her eyes, &he asked in a low, embarrassed tone “Did he ask about me?” “Not a word. 1 saw very little of him, anyway; he spent most of his time on the bay with Dick Delman.” “Was Kitty Taintor there? asked Amy, “Yes.” “I suppose Allen liked that- he used to think a lot of Kitty before he fell in love with me.” “I tell you he didn't have much to do with any one save Dick.” “Of course, you wouldn't t«ll me, anyway,” nodded Amy. “I re- member Ben Herring once said that it wasn't human nature to 1 slst Kitty Talntor's charms.” “Nonsense! Do glve me anothor cup of tea, Amy, and tell me what your future plans are.” “l haven't made any,” hesitutod Mrs. Gay, as she peered Into tio } | teacup, Evelyn was sflent. Amy Gay hed been rather a spoiled daugiter, and it was inevitable even to the most generous friends of the yourg couple that sooner later Amy's im- perious temper must clash with the strong will of her husband. Alien $|Gay would be tender with his wife, but if he was right in his contentlon his will would not bend. “Where 18 Allen stopping?” in- quired Evelyn, after a while. “Ned told Genevieve and she told me that Allen had removed all his things from the house and bad fur- nished a studio in the eity herc I haven't been down to Hillcrest t =ve if it is so—I might meet Lin: :nd that would be embarrassing for s both. Some day Genevieve will 20 down and investigate.” “And It it is true that he has lft the house for you to occupy stall rou go back there?” “No!” crled Amy sharply. “You don’t know what you ask, Evelyn. Why, all the happiness of my life Is bounded by the walls of Hillcrest— we planned the house together.” Evelyn looked bewildered. “Iiut my dear, if you feel that way—why, love cannot have dled and perhaps— perhaps there is a chance i you two! should meet again.” But Amy’s protesting hand silenced her. . | *“No,” she sald tragically, “it s all over [ see him again--and he as much as { 10ld me the same thing.” B 1 you don't want the oppor- ity Tears rushed to Amy’s eyes. “It s too late, Evelyn. He would never forgive me—but—but I shall never be happy again—without him.” “Amy Gay!" Evelyn dropped upon the floor beside her friend. “Well?" asked Amy. “If Allen met yvou half way—would vou be reconciled?” Amy shook her head dolefully. “He never will stir one step to meet me—it must be all or nothing with him. His mother told me that the Gays were always that way."” “And you cannot see your clear to make the first advances?” “No—no—I could not bear the thought that he might turn away from me. Let us talk about some- thing else, Evelyn—I want to forget him—I will forget him!" She rattled the teacups and made a fuss over pouring anoiher cup of tea for her guest. Evelyn Beers arose and straightened her hat be- fore a Venetian mirror. A vista of the adjoining room was reflected in the mirror and what she saw there held Evelyn petrified with wonder. It was a long room furnished as a studlo, and standing before an easel with palette and brushes In his idle fingers was Amy's husband. He Wore a paint-stained blouse and as his patfent brown eyes met the as- tonished ones of Evelyn Beers in the mirror, he calmly wiped his brushes and came forward. Evelyn turned swiftly to Amy. "I thought you sald you didn'g know where Allen was,” she said ac- cusingly, “I1 don't know." “If you will come here—and look into the next room—" Amy was beside her in an instant. “Oh!" she eried sharply. “What loes it mean? She looked from the familiar sur- roundings of the tea table to the studio furnished with her husband's way Oldest City in the World.

Fate must have sent me here, hecause 1 would not come yself!” n%s his arms closed around her once more she whispered tearfully: *1 wish there was some penance I could perform to atone for my wickedness.” “We have both done penance, sweetheart,” he sald gravely. EVOLUTION OF THE FARMER Long Time Before Reason Taught Man to Turn From Hunting to Agriculture. The first planter, the savage, with- out helpers, without tools, looking chiefly to safety from his enemy— man or beast takes poor land. The better lands are loaded with timber, which he caunot clear; they need drainage, which he cannot attempt. He cannot plow, or fell trees, or drain the rich swamp. He 18 a poor crea ture; he scratches with a sharp stick, lives in & cave or a hutch, has no | road but the trall of the moose or bear; he lives on their flesh when he can kill one, on roots and fruits when he cannot. He falls, and 1s lame, he coughs, he has a stiteh In his side, he has a fever and chills; when he is hungry, he can not always kill and eat a bear— chances of war cometimes the bear eats him. 'Tis long before he dlgs or plants at all, and then only a patch. Later he learns that his planting is better than hunting; that the earth works faster for him than he can work for himself—works for him when he sleeps, when !t rains, when heat over- comes him. The sunstroke, which knoeks him down brings his corn up. As his family thrives and other plant- ers come up around him, he begius to fell trees and clear good land; and when, by and by, there s more skill, and tools and roads, the new genera- tions are strong enough to open the lowlands, where the wash of the mountains has accumulated the best soll, which yleld = hundred fold the former crops. The last lands are the best lands. It needs science and great numbers to cultivate the best lands, and in the best manner.
