He had stopped his trotter at the gate to the Tramp- ton farm for the very good reaeon that at tho gate Pearl Trampton was walit- ing for the mail man. “Has he?” inquired Pearl with inter- est. Then quite casually she addressed the fence post. “I should nev—er,” sald she, “marry a man who didn't own an automobile. Why, I wouldn't care if it were a wheelbarrow—just so it was an automobile.” “Giddap!” sald Harry Jungles to his trotter. Arriving at the town of Three Pines, he told the hardware man who had been pestering him for a month about the mare that he could have her for the price he offered. “Going to buy a car?” asked the sat- isfiled hardware man when he had paid down the money. “Everybody seems to be getting 'em nowadays!” . “I want to buy some thing,” Harry told him, briefly. That was one thing about Harry Jungles. He had down to perfection the art of not hearing what people said to him, thereby saving much time in which to think. If Pearl Trampton passed a good deal of time the next ten days waiting at the mall box it did not disturb any- one but her mother. who remarked on rooms undusted and chickens unfed, but to no avail. When a young woman puts on a tresh frock every day and troubles to do her hair the new way and nobody comes to view the dazzling results ex- cept an aged mail carrier with a wife and six children it is likely to wear her nerves ragged as a natural reac- “She Stared Helplessly.” tion. Harry Jungles was due to get a particularly acid reception when he did apear. Long before his head appeared over the slight ridge in the road Pearl lis- tened in amazement to the remark- able chugging sound that was ap-| proaching. When she saw Harry she sat down suddenly. She stared help- lessly when he stopped, with some ef- fort, before her. “How do?” Harry said, casually. He was eeated somewhat precari- ously in the largest wheelbarrow Pearl had ever seen, with two extra wheels under it, a motor attached to the rear and a clever amateur steering gear in front. Never would she have thought that a human being in such an absurd position could lonk so en-, tirely at ease., “Want anything in town?” Harry asked. When Pearl managed to gasp out a faint “No” he grabbed a handle and ehoked it, banged his foot on a valve and shook the appartus in front of him | flercely, whereupon the wheelbarrow | lunged, snorted and trundled off. “And he's actually going to appear on the streets of Three Pines in that!' thing!” she murmured in agony. “Ob,’ my! What have I done?” ! Naturally she did not know that ' Harry Jungles on reaching the turn, below the Trampton farm headed his | wheelbarrow around that section of | land and back home. JAfter that he came to see Pearl every day, always in his unique motor car.: He never mentioned it and Pearl was afraid to after that first appearance of his when he had ignored it so com-| pletely. But she suffered at the hands of her family, who said it was a dis- grace to the community and that she must make Harry Jungles stop it. Pearl could have done this easily enough by telling him not to call, but | apparently the idea never occurred to | her. “Want to go for a ride? !fhrryi asked finally one bright day when he stopped at the mail box. ‘“There’s room for two!” “No, I don't!"” she answered with spirit. “Will you marry me?” he inquired next in precisely the same tone. Thereupon Pearl burst into tears and Harry descended from the barrow with so much speed that the machine tipped over and was fatally wrecked. “Wh-wh-why do you ride in that aw-awful thing?" sobbed Pearl on his shonlder. “Had to,” Harry told her. said—" “You never asked me!” flushed she indignantly, “I d-idn't care whether you had any old automobile or not, goose! Why did you have to?” “Because,” said the practical Jun- gles, “the new automobile I've ordered won’t be delivered for another month | and I couldn't let Gene Filers get all that start of me after what you said.” —Chicago Daily News.

The day came when Dmitrl was to go; but like a stroke out of a clear sky, a strange sickness fell upon him that very morning as he started on his way to Svelk, where the recruit- ing officer was stationed. Dmitrl was very sick, so sick that he seemed near death. Of course h® could not go to Svelk that day, but that only put off his going a little longer. Then a quick resolve came to me, and with it a daring plan, that though 1 was only a peasant girl, I formed in a moment's time. Fired with an unreasoning zeal of adventure, I slipped up to the loft where Dmitri’s best clothes lay ready for him on a cot. I hastily put them on, and they were a good fit, for I was about his height, and large and strong for a girl. Then I quickly clipped my hair in the fashion of the peasant men, and went down stairs. - Calling Anna Pretzoff into the kitch- en, I told her of my determination to take Dmitri’s place, march away with the troops, and when there was no longer any fear of them coming back for Dmitrl, I would explain all and come home. At the recruiting station all went as it should, and I was soon march- ing, shoulder to shoulder between two stalwart peasant soldiers, who took my presence as & matter of course.
