SURE DEATH TO BED- THE EVENING TELEGRAM. LAK ELAND, FLA., AUG. 13, 1912 MY LINE INCLUDES | Taming of Rodney When Rodney was 18 and developed such a violent and romantic passion for the blond little girl in the corner candy shop his fond parents sat up nights holding their distracted heads and bemoaning Rodney’s fate, for they were positive that matrimony, and perhaps an elopement, would crown the affair. The little candy girl thought so too, for when Rodney of a sudden calmly announced that everything was over between them she talked of a breach of promise suit after she had finished weeping and asking why he dida’t love her any more. To the latter query Rodney had bent a studious mind and had finally delivered the verdict that he was blessed if he knew. Apparent- ly his affections came and went with the wind. After (hat followed love affairs with a long series of girls, Finally Rod- | ney’s family became so accustomed to this sentimental state that they went right on with their usual three meals a day and pald no attention to it. If Rodney was not at the point where he had at last found the girl of his heart and everything was settled he was at the next point where of a sudden he had decided that it was all & mistake and he did not really care for that par- ticular girl. Finally he met Stella. She had paused for a few days in the city on her way to her home in S8an Francisco or Seattle or Reno or some point in the distant west. Rodney instantly fell a victim to her charms. Magazines Stationery Post Cards Cigars hasing elsewhere.

You think her only moderately good look- ing until you dissect her face and con- clude that there never before were | black eyes quite so big, skin quite so white and fine and lips so clearly cut. As for her slow smile—well, that was | positively irresistible, Rodney rushed out to Sun Francisco or Seattle or Reno or wherever it was, just two weeks after Stella left. e said he had business out there and he had. His business was to fall still more deeply in love with Stella, Soon there came a day when, loitering un- der the trellised arbor in her yard, he told her how he felt and that he want- | ed her to marry him, There is no reason to blame Stella | for liking him, because Rodney is eminently likable and his wooing had been spectacular and therefore attrac- | tive. She said yes—and Rodney de- parted on air, because he simply had to go back home. The next morning Stella got a tele- gram from him, sent from the train on which he was speeding eastward. It | read: “Consider it all a mistake and at an end. Am miserable. Will write.” By the time the startled Stella had got Rodney's explanatory letter and perused it and completely failed to un- derstand it. Rodney had discovered to his alarm that he did not experience his usual elation, at being free from an entanglement. He had a heavy heart and & yearning which he finally figured out was a desire to see Stella again. He really loved her! Expense not having to be consid- ered by Rodney, he traveled back to the coast and metaphorically cast him- | self at Stella's feet. Stella smiled her | slow, sweet smile, regarded him mus- ingly and then practically summoned the gardener to sweep him out with the other rubbish. Rodney went and sat by the sea after that and med!- tated upon death and raved at him- sell. Stella regularly hung up the re- celver whenever.she found him on the phone, so after a while he returned home, a blighted being. Everybody knew he was a blighted being because he made no sccret of it. Stella was his only thought and.his sole conversational topic, till finally his family stiuck. They told him to clear out and go and marry Stella by main force or else fall in love with some one else before he returned home. So he hunted up Stella, Rodney was very much in earnest ! and very desperate and he made Stella listen. Incidentally she gathered his sentimental history from friende of hers who knew him well. But Stella was a wise girl and saw possibilities. | “I'm going to take a chance that you mean what you say,” Stella told him. “Anyhow I hope you do mean what you say, because I—well, I'm foolish enough to like you myself! 1 think I'll marry you after all.” “Today!” Rodney cried, jubilantly. “I ghould say not,” said Stella, with decision. “I'm going to give myself six months to change my own mind.” The six months during which Rod- ney was on pins and necdles for fear she would suddenly and definitely throw him overboard did him a lot of .

They are a!ways high, too. Didn't you pay 50 cents a dozen last winter?” Mary Ellen admitted she did. . “That's outrageous. We could raise our own eggs for much less than that. And have fresh ones in the bargain. And broilers, too. Think of delicious, tender broilers:"” Mary Ellen was not partial to keep- ing chickens; but she only said mild- Iy: *“Chickens are a sort of nuisance, aren’t they?” “Not if they are properly.” “Well, do just as you plea-e. eggs would be nice.” That night a consignment of Rhode Island Reds arrived. The next day the iceman left the gate open and the Rhode Island Reds streamed into the yard, as if putting foot on their native heath. With a meditative eye Mary Ellen watched them as they settled down industrious- ly to the task of over-hauling Mr. Mary Ellen's pet flower border. They had a grand time. They followed the trail of each worm to its beginning in the lower regions. They took dust baths. They indulged in vigorous leg exer- cises. When the day was done and darkness fell from the wings of night, their wings were folded contentedly over a sense of duty thoroughly per- formed, “What in thunder is the matter with the flowers?” exploded Mr, Mary El- len as he viewed the wreckage. “The iceman left the gate open and the chickens got in,” said Mary Ellen meekly. * I~nr it too bad?” Mr. Mary taken Fresh The next morning a sign, “Shut the Gate,” adorned that feature of the domicile. About 10 o'clock excited squawks and the furious tooting of an auto horn rose on the air; and as the car whirled on the king ol the flock, the resplend- ent rooster, lay a mutilated wreck by the roadside. “I'm awfully sorry, dear, but the rooster was Kkilled today by an auto.” “Why don’t you keep them up?” “You said they were to run out.’ So Mr. Mary Ellen spent the eve- ning mending the fence around the chickenyard. Ile was not an expert carpenter, and his hands looked the worge for the experience when he came in. “Did you get any eggs today?" he {asked warily. “No, 1 guess chickens have to get used to a place before they lay.” The days passed and still the eggs refused to apear. “Maybe it doesn't agree with them to be kept up” suggested Mary El- len. “What in thunder can you do with them? You can't let 'em run and you can't keep ‘em up.” “They are a problem,” sald Mary Ellen sympathetically. *“And it takes 80 much of your time to read up about chickens. It's a shame. You never get to read the magazines or new books or anything any more. That last book I got was a corker, just the kind you like.” Mr. Mary Ellen sighed. A few days “Those chickens are scratching themselves awful.” “Maybe they ought to be greased. “Greased!"” “Yes. I have heard that when chick- |$ ens get to scratching themselves you | §§ have to catch them and grease them about the head and the wings and such places. It's a mess to do it.” “Not for mine,” said Mr. Mary Ellen. “I'm no hen Iubricator.” “But dear, they won't be healthy if | you don’t grease them.' ““Then they can pine away and die, drat ‘em.” “It is a shame for you to have to work so hard. I wish you did not have them. You are just wearing yourself out over those chickens. And they don't pay, either. They are not worth " The next day somebody called and said Mr. Mary Ellen, with a twinkle in her eve, watched them depart. “Yes, I did work hard,” said Mr. Mary Ellen that night after supper. “But I didn’t mind that. If it bad paid it would have been all right. But there is no sense in going on with a | thing that does not pay.” “Not a hit,” said Mary Ellen blithe- 1y. “Only not everybody has the sense vou have to see it."—Chicago Post. Had Earned a Rest.
