Ain't THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK ELAND, FLA., JAN. 30, 1913. JAN'S PRESENTIMENT It Was of Disaster, but Every- thing Eventually Came Out All Right. By MARGARET MANNING. From the first moment of his open- ing the door Jan Olesen felt a presen- timent of disaster. There was some- thing in the atmosphere of the board- ing hours, with its stuffy hall, its gilt mirrors, its glaring plush ornamenta- tion, that sickened him, so that when the little maid came forward aad asked whom he wished to ses he could hardly utter Mina's name. Jan Olesen, fresh from the west, where he had established himselt as & prosperous farmer within three years after his arrival from Sweden, a penniless youth, looked in surprise at the little servant’s troubled face, “You are from my country?” he asked In his native tongue, and at: the sound of the words the little fair- haired maid-of-all-work broke down and cried. “I—1 haven't heard the old speech for so long,” she said, and then began smiling through her tears as the sun smiles out of a blue sky. And the twinkling eyes that she turned upon him were very blue, and her smile as sunny as a Swedish girl's smile can be. Jan Olesen looked at her in grave compassion. “Do they treat you well here, child?” he asked. 8he shrugged ber shoulders. “Some of the boarders do,” she answered. “Theatrical folks are mostly kind. But Miss Dalrymple—she’s a terror. She's leading lady in the ‘Red Slipper’ chorus, you know—and, say,” she add- ed, breaking into the easily acquired slang of America, “what do you think? She's Swedish, too, for all her Ameri- can airs and English name.” Olesen clutched at the wall to save himself from falling. Before his eyes & mist was swimming. His mind went back to the day when he, renting a cheap hall bedroom almost in the next city block, had met Mina Jensen. She was just such a little maid as this, newly arrived from the old country. He remembered her shy smile, her engaging frankness. Arnd they had be- come engaged, and he had gone west to make his fortune. Now after thrce years he had returned—to what? Through the mict broke a scent of patchouli. Out of it he saw a woman approach, with fashionably done hair “I'm to Be Sent Away,” She Said. and gaudy dress; and through the floating clouds he saw a slim hand, much bejeweled, stretched forth to his. “Why, i it isn't Jan!™ exclalmed Mina. “I guess you didn't know me, Jan. Well, what are you staring at?” she continued to the girl. “Get busy she the impudent thing! Just o greenhorn, you know! Come right in, Jan, and tell me about your sclf and it you've brought back a wad to can that stuff you wrote me about get- ting marricd and ghow me a good time in this burg instead. Nix on a Minnesota farm for minc!" He escaped afterward—it mizht have been heurs or minutc s, but the last thing of which he was avare was Nina standing at the door of her apartment and gazing after him with & puzzled, quizzical air. “Poor Jan! You haven't lcarned m;xdch In Minnesota, Jaa!” she lLad ] i said at parlin%. And her desig THE ALEX.

Surely Mina Jensen, the little ' eountry girl whom he had met in the Steerage, animated by the same hopes s himself, cradled in the same land, "Ofllfld f blow in In New York. Ard £ay, Jn.’ not have changed so. Perhaps it was he who had changed. . Perhaps | !he was too slow, had remained a “greenhorn,” for all his success, while she had progressed beyond him. He resolved to tell her everything on the following night: all his aims and aspirations; to beg her to come back with him to Minnesota. There, on their lonely farm, they would set- tle, as the old folks had done in Swe- den, they would be happy. . . . | He fell asleep at last, happy in his dreams. ! But on the next night the old teel-l ing came over him again at the sight ' of the hall, the scent of perfume, the faded tawdriness of it. He hesl-; tated upon the threshold; he could | not enter. | And the little maid’'s eyes were red from tears. 5 | “You have been crylng, my dear,” i sald Olesen, using the Swedish word | of endearment. “What is the matter? ! You won't tell me? Yes, you'll tell a! fellow-countryman. Come, tell me!” “I'm to be sent away,” she said, her voice quavering. “Away? Well, but there are better | places. “0, yes. I'm not afraid. But she said—" “She? Who?” “Miss Dalrymple. She said—I can't ' tell you—well, that I didn't behave —that I talked to the men here—that 1 talked to you yesterday. And she pays twenty a week, so Mrs, Simmons i is afraid to affront her. And she said i that it I didu't go she would. She hates me because I'm from the lnmef country, and—and she doesn't want | people to know that she was once a working girl like me.” Olesen heard a door open softly above. Down the stairs, horrible in their glaring carpeting, floated - the faint odor of patchoull. For an in- | stant he pondered; then, taking the| girl by the arm, he led her to the door. “My dear,” he said, “in the state ! come from there are broad acres of land—land like we have at home, with forests and lakes. And there are no Miss Dalrymples there, and women aro treated differently. Would yor like to come with me to see the place I'm speaking of?" He spoke in Swed- | » ich now. “There, don’t let those tears | come. No, mever mind your hat; |; there's a department store round the v corner where you can get ail you reed. But hurry, for it closes at five, | and we've got to get to the city holl |2 first and take out our marriage li- | cenge,” (Copyright, 1912, by W, G. Chapman.) LET WOMEN W00 THE MEN!

DRSNS ST The Hub JOSEPH LeVAY 118 Kentucky Avenue Lakelanq S e a AT S TR Surely the most foolish of all the many foolish conventions that ruin human joy is the decree that women must wait passively to be wooed, de- clares a writer in the London Chron- | icle. Now, why should they? Why | can’t they be natural and honest and show thelr feelings? Why must they be compelled to act an indifference quite forcign to them? Perhaps some of you hold with Shaw and Shakes- peare that they don’t wait to be woo- ed. Some of them certainly don't. |} Generally speaking, however, few women even nowadays have the pluck to go dead agalnst a convention of this sort, which has such a tre. mendously strong hold qn the mascu- line sense of fitness, If woman’s charm {s to depend on this {diotic convention that wmen have created around her—namely, that she is a perfectly cold, passive, negative creature who walts in a state of sus- pended animation, as it were, until the man condescends to make her come alive—the sooner the modern feminists invent some more reason- able tradition of charm the better for us all. Now, let us suppose & couple that bas overcome all the initial obstacles. They bave managed the difficult task of finding each other, have got their declaration over, and are safely en. gaged. What happens next? Every possible thing that can be done to create an f{llusion around them f{s done.
