THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA BRIDE OF A MONTH Farmer’s Son Goes to College and Weds City Girl Who Makes Good. By AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER WIN. “She won't do, Silas,” sald Mrs. Green in a positive tone—‘"she won't do at all.” “I'm afraid not,” answered her hus- band with a doleful shake of the head. “I reckon John has made a dreadful mistake. Not that the poor little thing has a lazy bone {in her body. She’s bright, chipper and ac- commodating, but it's all the wrong way.” “Yes, working embroidery and train- ing roses don't count like milking and making butter,” observed the practical housewife. “There’'s Ellen, now. She's worth her weight in gold at the churn.” “And Mary,” added the old farmer. “Why, that girl just makes fun of pitching hay.” Ellen was the wife of James Green, and Mary had married his brother. Ethan. They were great strapping fellows, both of them, and their wives mated them. A The old farmer had de- clared they had showed rare common sense in selecting helpmates who knew how to earn their living. “It's all come of John going to col lege,” mourned the old man. “He came back with his crazy sclentific farming ideas, and a little doll of a thing who never wet her fingers in the way of work.” The “little doll of a thing,” Madge Green, the bride of a month, was at that very moment crying as if her heart would break, in a vine embow Madge Was In His Arms Sobbing Out Her Pitiful Story. ered corner of the front porch. S8he had heard every word spoken by the farmer and his wife. It was not the first time that Madge liad learned that these rough but hon- est-hearted people considered her en- tirely out of her natural element. She had come to Willow Farm In good faith, and had tried to be happy and helptul. Mrs. Green had laughed at her, however, when she got up a meal composed of really exquisite dainties, but a mere incidental mouthful to hun- gry seekers after corn beef and cab- The farmer had regarded her with real sympathy, when he found her pretty hands all scraped and cut from shelling corn for the chickens. “l won't be a nobody, even here!" exclaimed Madge, after a good crying spell. “I love John, and his folks, too. them, no matter how hard it seems.” It was this sudden resolve that led to a vast surprise on the part of bluff, hearty John Green half an hour later, as he came round the corner of the barn to face a most amazing scene. Madge, wearing a long apron and all flurried and excited, was stamping her foot at a cow. The animal was swing ing ber tall and pawing the ground. Behind the cow lay a cream pitcher in pleces. “Why, litle girl, what does this mean?" challenged the big-hearted fel- low. In an instant Madge was arms and sobbing out her pititul story. “It's no use, Jobn,” she walled. “I wanted to learn how to milk, just like Ellen and Mary. That hatetul old mooley wouldn't let me, and kicked never be of any use for anything " John Green had to laugh at the ad- surd situation. Then, all manly ten- derness, he stroked the golden hatr of his young and pretty wite. “You poor little angel,” he sald, “no- body is going to hurt you, and nobody could dislike you. I didn't bring you {here to wear out those dear little { hands. All you have got to do 1s to be the sunshine of the house, which you are, until I convince father and [Imother that farm life is something { better than humdrum slaving. When |l come to show them the profits from my scientific farming on that eighty- |acre fleld father gave me to expert- ' ment with, there'll be a grand change in ideas, mark me. All you bave got ;%0 do is to be patient, dear.

Then Mrs. ' - [ Green was taken down with rheuma- tism. A week later the farmer broke a limb in a runaway accident, and the doctor prescribed invalid treatment for both. That was where John Green came ' in strong. Madge, too. Most of the heavy farm work was out of the way, ' and John managed to run things with little extra hLelp. There were real cozy. enjoyable evenings for the young married couple. Old Mrs. Green limped around and bore the main bur- den of meal getting. With husky ! working appetites out of the way, how- | ever, she was surprised to find in how many useful ways Madge was fitting herself into the work. John helped Madge wash the dishes, and after a week or two of grumbling Mrs. Green confessed one evening that things were “real comfortable.” “Little girl,” said John one day, when Madge proudly showed him the result of her bread baking, “this work is coming pretty heavy on you.” “Oh, John,” declared Madge, “I love lal Et 3 ;*.'sie‘.'»m‘ AR R LR, ¢ A [ N it. “] was thinking that perhaps we had better induce the old folks to settle in town and give up the farm—they can afford it.” “Oh, John! give up the dear old home?

She drew the fair face down to her own and kissed her softly, her eyes humid and grateful. “Yes, Madge is a jewel,” she sald. “She is better than that!" cried old Farmer Green—"she's a household an- gel.” (Copyright, 1912 by W.
