By HAROLD CARTER. “You wish to speak to me, Mr. Gal- braith?” inquired young Mr. Allen, | looking up trom his seat in the swing- ing hammock. Half a dozen girls were groupcd about his feet, in atti- tudes of worship, while Mr, Allen slowly fanned himself with an imita- tion palm leaf. “If I might take the liberty for an instant, sir,” repiicd Cyrus Galbraith, the proprietor of the fashionable sum- | mer mountain hetel. “Excuse me, girls,” said Mr. Allen Jjauntily, and stepped out of the haw- mock. He followed the landlord till they were out of sight of the women ! guests, around the corner of the porch. Then the landlord turned on him, “Now, see here, Allen, I'm not go- ing to stand for any more of this con- founded nonsense,” he said. “You go back to thaé infernal bureau of yours and tell 'em I sent you back because you didn't do your work satisfac- torily.” “Why, what's the matter, Mr, Gal- braith?” -inquired the other, in sur- prise. “Matter, sir!” thundered the land- lord. “Everything’s the matter. Last month I got a circular from the Sum- mer Hotel Improvement society, in which they offered me an Adonis, six feet tall, handsome, athletic, good at swimming, good at talking, good at dancing, sailing, flirting, golfing, ten- nis, quoits, pool, skittles, bowling, and with a brand new stock of drawing: room steries. Ain't that so?” “That's me,” answered the other, proudly. “Terms, fifteen dollars a week and board for as long as the scason last- ed,” pursued the irate landlord. “And you was to take each girl out in turn “Now You Cut it Out-” for a moonlight sail, to build up my business and prevent Walt Smithers getting all my young women away from me, as he did last summer. And what happens? Miss Jones left last evening because she sald it was dull here. I know she's fifty and has red hair and an inward squint. But what of that? Weren't you paid to take Miss Jones moonlight salling, and each of the rest of them, no mat- ter if they had blue hair and three of them wall eyes? And instead of that sou've spent the last two s-lid i days with that Miss Moon, a young { womun I've never seen here before and pever want to see again. You | took ner sailing Monday night and | Tuescay night and la:t night, and it | T hada't butted in, you'd have taken | ber teaight, I know.” “Well, Mr. Galbraith,” replied Mr. l | Allen deferentially, “wasn’t I enter- | tainiig six of your young ladies out jon the lawn? Didn't I occupy the | hamwock, and let them fan me and bring me ice water? Don't you sup- { pose I know the game, even it I did | go sailing—" . “Now you cut it out,” cried the oth- er. “You can pack up and get out this afternoon. I've spent fifty dol- i lars on you and lost my best cus- | tomer—Mies Jones.” “Oh, very wcll, if you look om it that way,” replied the young man, curtly, and turned on his heel. Gal- braith, snifing, went Back into the office of his hotel. It must be confessed that Bessie |Moon was & remarkably beautiful | young woman. Though she had been at the hotel only three days, she had already won the masculine hearts, and great had been the jealousies when she was monopolized by the hand- some Arthur Allen on three successive evenings. While Mr. Galbraith sat moodily before his desk, wearing i away the last vestiges of .his rage, | the office door opened and Miss Moon | stepped in. “You may order a carriage for me at hall-past three,” she sald coolly. | *“Why, certainly, Miss Moon,” re plied tke proprietor, rubbing his | hands. “You contemplate visiting the | renowned sulphur spring, of course?” “No; I contemplate visiting tbe | rallroad station,” answered Miss ! Moon. “I understand jhat you have ’ mentioned my name in a conversation with my friend, Mr. Allen.” “j—]—" stammered Galbraith, and before he had recovered his apesch ~oflice, | She went away on the same train | | as Mr. Allen, and the hotel grew very lonely. On the morrow two sour- ' visaged spinsters packed up and left, 1on the next day three young ladies | withdrew to Walt Smithers’ place; within a week Galbraith was cursing his fate for the worst season that he had had in years. At last, curiosity overcoming his pride, he had his horse saddled, and rode over the ten miles of trail that separated his hotel from his rival’'s. He dismounted and walked into the ofiice. The hotel looked like an undertaker's shop. Gal- braith brightened. “Morning, Smithers,” he said, ex- tending his hand cordially. “Seems to me,” he continued, “that your busie ness is about as bad as mine this year.” “What, your business bad, shouted Smithers, exultantly. “Never was worse,” answered the other, “and 1 don't mind telling you, Smithers, that I thought I'd got the best of you. All's fair in trade, and 1 guess there won't be any bad feelings if I admit that I hired a young man to keep the ladies entertained. I'd heard it was done, but this was my first cxperience with the Summer Ho- tel Improvement soctety, and—" “What!"” shouted Smithers, leaping up. “You hired a young man from the Summer Hotel Improvement society?” “Now, don't take it hard, Smithers,” began the other soothingly. *“He wasn't—" | “Take it hard!” roared Smithers. “Why, I'm nearly bursting my sides from laughing. I hired a young wom- an from them.” “A young woman!” exclaimed the too!” | ‘polit!ca] party that te tes of Virginia, Advocates Political Up- li Is Caution.

Do you think the Adi- rondacks are played out yet?" “I guess not,” answered Bessie, snuggling up to him. “Perhaps we might try the Catskills, though, this year. Isn't it glorious having free summer holidays, Arthw? [ don't know what we'd have done without them; and we'd never have gone . away since our honeymoon.” (Copyright, 1013, by W. G. Chapman.)
