By CLAUDE SISSON. *Annfe,” said Miss Susie Mably fRhrough the telephone, “can you come wver to the house about two o'clock?” “Why, 1 was going out this after soon.” “Then you'll have to give it up. 1 must see and talk with you” *Anything happened?” “Something dreadful, and [ mx!

This happened to De one of the times when they thought the world of each othber “Something dreadful, eh?” mused MMiss Annfe as she turned from the melephone. “Now, isn't that nice! I was just wishing that something dread- €ul would happen to somebody. 1 am eurely a lucky girl"” “Annfe will know what should be done, and she will advise me,” sighed Miss Susle as she bung up the re selver. “If I went to mother she'd me s little idiot. ¢ something n't done—! But something sball be idone!” Something was done She broke a water pitcher, cuffed her brothers oars, telephoned an order to the gro- wery for ber mother, and was gently weeping when Miss Annie arrived. : They fell into each other's arms. Mrheir tears mingled. They wiped ! whelr eyes on the same handkerchief. “Annie Morton,” said Miss Susle at when they had broken away, “you ve got to give me advice or I shall e i “You know I will advise you.” *“You know I have been keeping com- pany with Stephen Long?” | i “Yes, I know." | *“We are the same as engaged.

I may geta note any minute from Stephen saying that it is better for us to part” “Mrs, Sibly must have been filted three or four times when the was a girl to know so much. I shouldn't pay the least attertion to what she says.” “But—but—" “Susie Mably, ] am most nineteen years old, am I pot?™ was lottily , asked. i “Y-yes.” “Haven't | bad six different beaux?™ “]—1 guess g0.” | “And don't you think I know about youn- meu's minds?” “You ought to.” “Well, ou are. You don't want to D&y attention to a young man's word ether. Every young man will swear he loves you beyond apything on earth. You dont want to believe but half of it The other half should be in his attitude!” “How attitude”" was asked. “Does he send bouquets and candy? Does he take you to the movies? Does be want to hold yoar hand? Does he lean towards you when you walk? Ifa 8 fellow winks at you does your fel | Jow resent it? What is Stephen's at- | titude?” “Why, he just goes along.” | “Acts as if he was sure of you, eh?” ! *1 think that's it | “And he don't worry?® f *“No.” ] “Well, Susie, while Stephen may know his own mind all right, and while {t's made up to marry you, it won't do | any harm to make him a bit jealous. ! jealousy bring out love.

It will relate bow ' a young girl died for a skite of 8 fellow who wasn't worthy of her, and it will be sung in all the dance halls co the East side. Your came and Stephen’s name won't be there, but everybody will know who is meant Believe me, Stephen Long will bave to skip for Hoboken within a week. It fsn't a joke to drive a girl to her death for urrequited love.” “Oh, Annle, how much you know!” was exclaimed with clasped bands. ~Of course.” “And what a wise adviser you are!" | “Taere may be a wiser in the bunch, but I dou't guess su.” A box of cheap candy came mnext: day. In lead pencil, on the cover there of, were the initials “J. M.” In the evening Stephen Long dropped in, as was his custom. He saw the box, looked at the icitials, and without a word ate a good half of the candy. Susie was in tears. Not even a sign of curiosity, not to mention jealousy! Why didn't Stephen ask who “J. M.” was? She was ready to answer that he was the latest thing out in daisies, and then Stephen wouldn rise up and threaten to make dog's meat of him. But Stepben munched the candy and ignored “J. M." “Stephen, | want to go to Amuse ! ment ball Friday night,” sald Susie, shooting her second arrow! to use it unless we have to. It's a good deal better to live on and have strawberries and cream and go to Corey Island than it is to be buried under a willow tree.” “But if I flirt too hard Stephen may get mad,” was protested “Just what we want.” “And if he gets mad, hell fight” “Then {t’ll be settled that he loves you.” Friday night came, and the dance came. Also the daisy waltzers from the pavy yard came. Also the giggle giggles and the firtations! Stephen got one single dance with Susie. He waltzed with others, however, and bought ice cream for others, and at last Susie had to sit down with her tears. To his inquiries as to what was the matter, she exclaimed: “If you cared for me, you'd knock the heads of of some of these fel- lows!” ~Oh, but I've got a better thing” he smiled. “What—what is it?" He beckoned to an alderman who came forward and held up a hand tor the music to stop and the dancing to cease. Then he took Susie’s band and walked her out and they were married. “Just letting you have your fling a little before the knot was tied,” he smilingly explained to the bride. Miss Annie Morton stood with open mouth fcr a minute, and then gasped out: “Six different beaux have I bad, and yet 1 don't know a clam from & sum- mer squash.” | (Copyright, 1913 by the McClure Newi paper Byndicate.)
