DENNY Phone 11} Jacksonville l S PP R DD BBB DD BB 2 l = LITTLE ROSIE'S FATHER By L. M. STEVENS. Two questions seriously troubled Rosie. Where was her father? Why | didn’t Rachel have a beau? Rachel, who was her mother, had long ago concluded the child was an oddity and paid little or no attention to her end- less queries and singular habits, though oftentimes she would pause in her work to gaze at Rosle, rocking to and fro, with a kitten hugged tight in her arms and singing in a shrill voice a quaint little song. Rachel invariably sighed. Her rela- tion to her child was not of an inti- mate nature. She was always too over- worked to encourage friendliness and, therefore, Rosie seemed strange and remote. Romance enveloped her and she lived in a world of her own crea- tion, far removed from her humble surroundings. She went to the little whitewashed schoolhouse on the hill, and at recess played with the children, but afterward she came home and sat on the doorstep alone. One day a little girl, who was ex- ceedingly small, but very important because her father was the store- keeper, began to swing on the school- yard gate and looked Rosie over with contemptuous disapproval. “Why do you stick after us?’ shg asked. “I don't,” said Roste quickly, “and 1 think it's mean of you to say so.” 'Oh, do you?” cried the little girl.

Is he coming back?’ she asked, with newly awaketied interest. “Yes,” sald Rosie, “he is coming back some time,” and suddenly she turned and fairly flew down the sun- bathed road. Rachel sat on the doorstep mending a garment. She was thin and frail, with a pink flush on her sunken cheeks and a burn in her dark eyes. She smiled as the child rushed up and let her work fall in her lap. “Well, what i8 it? she inquired, listlessly. “They all have 'em—where {8 my father?” she cried, in little pants. “When is he comin’ back?” “Comin’ back?” Rachel echoed in amazement. “Yes. I told Mamie he was comin’ some time.” “Well, he's not"—an angry light darted in her eyes—‘you haven’t one, even, and tell her so if she asks you again. Little idiots,” she added, more to herself than to the child. Rosie's arms had fallen limp at her sides. Horror, astonishment and be- lief successively came in her face. The next morning in the schoolhouse several of the children were gathered around the teacher, so Rosie shyly joined the group and heard the last part of the conversation. “Little Lucy Harlow is going to start to school today, and you must all she hasn't a father.” Oh! oh! Rosfe's heart beat tumultu- ously. At last there would be one of her kind. Lucy Harlow and her mother came in just before the last bell rang. Rosle did not attempt to probe the differ- Mrs. Harlow was curliously unlike the other mothers in the village. One evening Rosie stood at the gate, gazing up and down the road, until finally her diligent watch was re- warded. A man, wearing a shabby blue suit, a gay necktie, patent leather shoes, and carrying a traveling bag, walked briskly towards her. Rosle looked dubious. She knew she could not buy soap, and yet, Prince Charming had been too long in coming to allow him to escape now that he stood upon their very thresh- old. Rachel would soon turn the bend in the road, but until that moment she had not considered that it would be a very dirty, tired-looking Rachel. A happy thought suddenly occurred to her. “I tell you what!” Rosle raised her shining eyes. “Come again 'bout dusk. My mother will be home by that time.” “Well, I say you're an uncommonly polite little girl. I'll be back,” and to Rosle's astonishment, Prince Charm- ing lifted his hat and went lelsurely towards the village. When her mother returned, sald: “You beat all, you queer little thing. But I wouldn’t dress for a soap agent or a prince tonight, why, I'm actually too tired to eat,” and with a sigh she sank wearily on the steps. Down the road came the soap agent. | “I am selling soap,” he began and stopped abruptly. “Frank!” she cried, placing her she | hand to her forehead in a piteous ef- fort to suppress her emotion.
