HENLEY'S “Doin’ What?” Going To The ' akePharmacy Nearest "'uq Store in Town IO IOLGIRTOION akeer KichemWork - THE EVENING TELEGRAM, NGT WHOLLY VANITY | i ! | of Agony [BY MARTHA | LIAMS. “Buy a story, please, sir—a teeny, weeny story,” Josephine Mabin call- ed to Latimer half in, half out of his door. “You don't want tp be con- structively guilty of cruel and unusual punishment—that 1 know,” she ran on, coming inside and moving a lit- tle uncertainly toward his desk. Latimer sprang up, set a chair for her, and made to seat her, but she shook her head. “Dassent—I'd never, never have the courage to rise again,” she said, then holding out a small foot in a shoe still smaller, “Johnny— do believe this isn't wholly vanity— the girl who sold them was a hypno- tist.” “Where were you going to need such fine foot-feathers?" Latimer in- terrupted almost savagely. The offending foot-feathers were fine, indeed—the latest cry of the mode as to shape and stuff. At rest, Joe's foot did look pretty in them— when she walked or tried to, her clas- tic instep became wooden, her pinched toes were alternately dead or full of savage prickings “Sit down!™ Latimwer ordered, “and [ tell me the whole story. You surely have not been out with that Parish gang again?” ! “The shoes contrudict you -that's just why 1 suffer from them,” Joe said with something betwixt a frown and a pout. “Ten dollars’ worth of agony! Isn't that tough?” “Not as tough as the Parish gang,” Latimer exploded. “See here, Joe, you know I'm your big brother by appointment—cut them out! 1 say pit! And 1 mean it—down to the ground.” “1 wish 1 could,” Joe said lalt un- der breath, then more articulate: i “Johnny- 1 must make vou under- stand. 1 promiszed 1 wouldn't but you are my other self i “What's to understand?” Linterrupted. | Joe reached for his hand. “The truth,” she said. 1 don't like tough ways, nor people- but | have to make a pretense of it because you see, if 1 get the gtory- all my hard times are over Beekwith himself has promised it | “But what is the story?” demanded, Joeo put her lips almost upon his ear, as she answered, “What's be Lind the Norewill divoree?

He had er thought of her as a sweet- hear: Sweethearting for him, indeed, bad always meant Agnes Ware. It she lad not thrown him over for his rick uncle he should never have seen New York. His coming had a cogent reason -why under heaven had that williul Joe come likewise?—why, find- ing herself so unfit, did she foolishly stay? He bought the poor little story— payiug for it from his own spare pock- et, but through the mask of the mag- azine. After the check had been sent by messenger, he felt a bit easler, though still he could not settle stead- ll) to his work. Joe's face, wearing lant smile above the pain- . came between him and the he read. She stayed with him 80 orsistently; indeed, he shut his desk half an hour early, and went scowling to the tiny chambers he had & matioed to find in a quiet eddy of the town They looked desolate enough, yet he had hought them cosy. Joe was the maticr even there she haunted hins He went out quickly, made his way to the park and walked there with swinging strides, until almost mid- night Then suddenly he felt himsell faint with hunger, found an eating place and fed himself decently. Aft- erward there was another stroll. Tho moon had come up transforming mag- ically even the sordid town. It was late after miduight when he came again to his own door and sat down | upon the steps for a last bask in the | mootshine, a | cigar. Al first he barcly noted a huddle \l limp iigure upon the the topmost step. 1t gave him a tura to have it suddenly :lip down beside him. Next minute Joo was saying in breaks “Johnny —F=you'll have to send me home after all. I've found out—1 won't de- I'm too big a coward.” “How did you make the discovery?” Latimer asked teasingly, laying his hand on her arm.
