By GRACE KERRIGAN. Miss Jennle Aduu was snippy. Bv- crybody sald so, and she admitted it To be snippy means not only to be No one likes a snippy girl, but she doesn't care a clothes-pin for that. She likes herself, and that's enough. Snippy Miss Adams had gone on being snippy until she had arrived at the age of twenty. It had been pre- dicted 1ifty different times, by fifty dif- ferent persons that the day would come when her snippiness would bring her proud head low, but nothing had happened yet. Snippiness and some other things can go on for years and years without a grand jury getting after them. While Miss Adams' father was a suburban banker and always had enough cash in the vaults to guard against a run, and while he had an auto and kept a chauffeur, and while the young lady could have rolled up town like a duchess, she always came and went by the trolley line. At first people gave her credit for being demo- cratic, but they soon fathomed her motive. If she journeded by auto she could only be snippy to the chauffeur, and he could only speak broken Eng- lish and didn’t care what she said or how pert she acted. If she took the trolley car there were always at least seven passengers to notice her and her snippiness. One morning at 9 o'clock Miss Adams took the car to put in a long day in the strange young man took the same car. She had never seen his face before and judged him to be a new arrival in the village. Mr, Robert Mclain was the name of the youn3 man who sat opposite her. He had something to do with a life Insurance company uptown. Yes, he had just moved out with his moth- er. He took the trolley because he had no auto. He merely glanced at Miss Adams as he took his seat and began reading his newspaper. Such an action on the part of a young man was provoking. It was more. 1t might almost be termed insolence, Why didn’t he steal glunces over the top of hiz paper at her? Why didn’t he wonder who she was, | and move his feet about to show that he was wondering? i There wis a fat woman next to | him. shoulder to shoulder, and he could have: asked information in a whisper, but he didn't. The car ran over a dog a mile or two out, and Miss Adams gave a lit- | tle scream. The young man looked up, but not at her. Ie looked at a vinegarfaced old maid and smiled. She would have snubbed him had he smiled at her, and yet she was pro- voked that he didn't. Miss Adams dropped a nickle on the floor. All heard the drop, and all heard her exclamation. It came to a rest almost at Mr. McLain's feet, but did he throw his paper aside and scramble for it? Not a bit of it Four men and two women covered ! themselves with glory trying to res- cue that coin from the gratings, nnd the conductor finally came in and did the trick. Not the slightest interest on the part of the young man, and the | fat woman beside him noticed the flash of the girl's eyes and sald to her self: “She’ll wake him up and humble him (f it takes a whole year to do it!" The opportunity came within twen- ty minutes. At the terminus Miss Adams followed the young man out on the platform. As she descended the steps she seemed to stumble, and he heard her exclamation of dismay. He whirled and extended his hand to save her from a fall, but she was not in the least danger “Oh! sald Mr. Mclain in confus fon. “Sir!” demanded the girl. Miss Snippy Adams had got even, and a feeling of eatisfaction was with her all day as she shopped She took the car for home without the faintest idea that the young man would be a passenger also, but there he was com- fortably seated and scanning the pages of a magazine. So far as she could tell he did not notice her en trance. She sat opposite and hoped to administer another snub. Among the articles she had purchased and was bringing home by hand, rather than trust to the delivery, were three yards of costly lace. By and by Miss Adams got the inspiration she was looking for. The little package was dropped as the nickle had been, and it bounded and struck the young man’s foot. Be- fore any other passenger had moved. Mr. McLain had been over and picked | up the package, and after a brief look at it he handed it to a woman at his right with the words: “Your package. madam? And that wasn't the worst of it by ! half. The woman bowed her thanks ' and put the package away In her bag, and then looked around the car as | carelessly and innocently as you pleuo.

No woman, and but fow men had dared attempt the feat Miss Adams shivered as she came to a halt, but sure that Mr. McLain was watch- ing her, and anxious to let him see that his advice had been a plece of im- pudence, she boldly started out on the plank. “Go back!

Things began to whirl ‘round and ‘round, and with a wild shriek the girl | ) left the plank to bring up in the mud and water twelve feet below. Natur- ally, she was hauled out by means of a rope. Naturally, she was all mussed up. Naturally a crowd was drawn by the accident, and naturally or unnat- urally, that same hoodlum of & boy a had to shout out: “Be keerful and don't let the old qll come up feet first!” “1 could kill that young man. I could kill him!" sald Miss Adams a |’ _ but we are always studylng how to day or two later, when the mud had | *; ;.

Doth the young man and the snippy girl lived on and ate ! their three square meals a day. Then fute interfered again. One spring morning Mr.* McLain rigged up his tackle and went fishing in the river. On her part Miss Adams took her woter boat out. She had never gone out alone before, and her experience ! with the engine was limited, but she | went ahead. She hadn't reached the point of rashness, however, when Mr. McLain called to her from a dock: { "1 think there is something wrong with your engine!” Up went Miss Snippy's chin, | “] think it's going to stop on you!" I'p went Miss Snippy's nose. “If it does you'll drift down over the dam'” “Sir!" “If you'll run your boat ashore I'll overhaul it.” | { No real lady ever tells a man to go | | to Oconomawock in so many words.
