ER FAITHFUL LOVER By J. A. TIFFANY. The only fault that Hiram Lamsoa had to find with Mira in all the years of their happy wedded life her wnreasonable and utterly dless jealousy. At supper Mira had announced her tion of taking the old democrat and driving Dobbin to the city attend a revival meeting. Much to 's surprise and chagrin Mira had ed his proffered escort. <dfter she had gone Hiram noticed plece of paper lying on .the hall . He went forward and plcked it { “*“What's this?” Hiram asked, “A Jet , eh?—and torn in two. Why, now, /B0 can be a-writin’ to Mira like that darling Mira.'” *My darling Mira—Meet me at half- elght o’clock tonight under the elm In' Lovers' walk. Grant me this last prayer, my loved one, and 1 will never trouble you again. Your Mira’s gone to? Oh, Mira, Mira! This why you've always pertended to be Jealous of me—you did it to cover your own wrongdoing, “Half-past eight o'clock, under the sted oak. I must get on my bike spin over there.” Lovers’ lane was the name givea to well-worn path that ran through a of woods about five miles from | . Lamson farm. Hiram made a long ) r 60 a8 to approach the trysting from the back of the woods, in- of from the turnpike. It still ed fifteen minutes of the appoint- d time when he came within sight of blasted elm. f In the gathering dusk Hirdin‘esfled Mira, deated behind a tree some twen- ty paces from the blasted elm, and he Reard the whinney of the faithful Dob- Min, tethered sowewhere near at hand. , ¥Beems as if Claude wasn't in such burry to keep his appointment as ilnndn was. Aye, lass, I could al- mest find it in my heart to take and Bft ye into the wagon and drive ye Btraight home before yet get a chance #¢ making a fool of yerselt before my pyes. I'd do it—and forget the whole pight’s business—Iif it wasn't that I'm Dound to everlastingly knock the pourishment out of this fine gentle man Claude. | ‘At last it seemed that Mira's pe- Sience had given out. Hiram looked M his watch as she got up and started fior the by-road. Just as Mira was about to'step into e wagon, Hiram, who had reached per side unobserved, sald: “Let me help you, wife. I guess Il Boad my wheel into the wagon and we'll drive home together.” “Where have you been skulking, - 904 G A Ty =S D RN A Il Hiam Lamsou. Mira demanded, wrathfully, “and where's that Jesebel as you come out here to meet?” “Now, Mira,” said Hiram, quietly but firmly, “the jealousy racket doesn't go in this family any longer. It's played out. You're the only woman I came here to see. But I was expecting & man. Where's Claude, Mira?” “Claude!” Miranda echoed in & dis- gusted tone. “I don’t know nothing about no Claudes. What I want to know is—Where’s Clementina, an who is she?” : “] don’t know what you're talking about, Mira—I've no more idea than & next year's pumpkin, But I'd like to ing a revival meeting. I'd also like to i know who Claude is?” ! “To the tater bugs wi’ Claude!” was ! Mira's impatient exclamation. “But | when you et love letters from your Clementinas,” Hiram Lamson, you should ‘be’ more careful:thasi'to drop ‘em around in the dairy.

You will never see me again on earth, unless you come to the blasted oak in Lovers’ lane at half- past eight to-night. Yours, though I may not call you mine, “CLEMENTINA." Hiram scratched his head for 8 mo- ment. “Why, old girl,” he said, “somebody’s been fooling us both. I got a letter pretty much like that—signed with the name ‘Claude,’ as ef it was intended fer you. Well, whoever it was, we'll Just fool them. We'll get into the wagon and drive home and mever a word to anybody to let folks know what two old fools we've beea to- night.” 5 ) Half an hour later, as they entered the house and Hiram made a light, Mira exclaimed: “Hiram Lamson, there's been thieves here!
