Douglas Mandy’s Memorandum By Rose Seelye-Miller (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) Mandy Harrison carefully padded the bottom of the egg crate with pa. pers, slipped the proper square of pasteboard over the padding, put the egg filler in place, and mechanically dropped the great creamy-shelled eggs into their compartments, carefully dis- carding those not clean, imperfect in shell shape, and those that were small. “Two dozen unavailable!" she sighed as she dropped the last perfect egg in place. “Two dozen not fit to send, and sixteen, seveateen dozen and eleven that are.” She paused thoughtfully. “Itll take two or three days to get enough to finish filling the case. Hens aren't laying so good now, all want to set or have chickens, and I'm owing installments on ‘most everything!” Mandy caught up a scrap of bent card- board, which had slipped from amongst the papers, discovereq that it was a picture_of herself, which had suc- cumbed to the attack of some infant visitor. She began to scribole. Installments, I've got to pay: Father's coffin .................. $1.00 Doctor's bill ................. R Ditto on shoes for Sammy ....... 1.00 Ditto on wine for ma ........... 1.00 Shingles for leak. .. Putting same on.......... “Dear, dear!"” she sighed. will only net enough to pay “The eggs those things, not a cent over, even if I get twenty cents for them, and likely's not they won't retch more than eighteen cents a dozen.” Mandy stared at the Iist before her, but the items remained fixed, not one vanished under her se- vere scrutiny. “Well, take it, take it all—you old figures you!” then turn ing the card she began writing on the | other end of it. Things I want: I want a new dimity dress with pink | rose buds in it. I want a big ribbon for my hair, I want a pair of stockings, ah:olute iy whole. A pair of pumps with high heels A plece of chiffon to tix my old hut. I want Jim Patterson to come back. .She wrote furiously, punctuating “| each ftem with a decisive period at the end, Indulging herself just once in her bare life the luxury of mute expres- slon. She paused after rereading, flushed to the heavy waves of her dark hair, gave the carboard a viclous twist which rent it in two and flung it aside, crushed the remaining egg fillers into the unfilled space of the crate, gath- ered up her baskets, and rushed down cellar. She came up with a pan of potatoes, which she proceeded to make ready for dinner. So'busy was she with her thoughts of the last item on her liat, that she forgot everything else; lost in the remembrance of her simple happy life, before her father had died and Jim Patterson had gone away. Jim had come to see her as oaturally as the morning sun shone into the kitchen window, but—well, Jim had gone to the city to advance his fortunes. Jim had written, but his letters were not a bit like Jim, and finally she had stopped answer- {ng them, not because she had ceased to care, but because she cared too much and felt too proud to continue what seemed to her to be a one-sided correspondence. Mandy's face flush- ed, and she peeled the potatoes fierce- 1y, flung them into thelr rinsing with a splash that splattered the water over her face and on to the clean floor beside her. “Well, for the mercy's sake, Mandy Harrison!” chided a volce from the doorway. “What spite you got against those potatoes? The way you're pun- tsbing them, one would think you'd a mortal grudge against them!” Good, fat Mrs. Morris rolled into the kitch- en, drew a chair near the egg crate, sat down and lifted her basket to her smple lap. “I've just got a fit of the tantrum grumps,” Mandy explained lucldly. “You've been crying,” Mrs. Morris accused aghast, for she had never seen the brave, high-spirited Mandy ery. “"You've néver made a fuss ebout anything.” “I'm not crying—it's just the water splashed into my face,” Mandy retort- ed, plunging the potatoes into the ket tle o2 bolling water with a dash Mra. Morris, noting the surging col or in the girl's cheeks. shifted her gaze to the basket she held. saving gently, “I'm wondering, Mandy, if i isn't about time you'll be shipping : crate of eggs.

She was halted | by the rallroad tracks, the evening ' passenger train having rolled in. Mandy always liked to watch the train and the people who traveled up- on it. She was frankly interested in the drift of peopls who went past her on the sidewalk just beyond the road where her horse was halted.

The man caught her look, paused, stepped forward, then hurried to the bugsy where the girl sat dazedly looking at him. ““This is surely my lucky day!" cried Jim Patterson’s well-known, well-loved voice. “I'm going home with you if you'll let me Mandy.” Jim dropped & bundle into the huggy, thrust his sult case under the seat, and located a big box in fromt. “Why, Jim!" Mandy gasped, as he masterfully caught the lines from her limp hand, giving that hand a warm pressure as he did so. He chirruped to the horse until that willing crea- ture took a pace beyond anything within his recent experience. Not until the vacant country road | was reached did Jim permit the slack- ening of the horse's pace. “Now, Mandy,” said Jim, winding the lines over the dashboard, allowing the horse to drive himself, “I want to know why you stopped writing to me. 1 thought vou'd forgotten me.” Always In The Lead | That's What We f Alm To Be | Always in the lead, when it comes to fresh, purs, { fall-strength druge tol- let articles, sundries, and all drug store merchac- dise.
