If you'd only mentioned it some way in your letters, I'd have understood, and you could " have rented my room, too, if you Mked, to summer boarders.” “Oh, Tan, you always do roll a snowball up until it chases you down bill. Summer boarders! Anybody'd think that we'd started right in busi- ness just because we happen to have rented out one bedroom and study.” Estania looked over at her sister re- proachfully. “Chester’s own bedroom and study.” *“Tan, don't you dare worry mother about this, now. It wase my doings. | You're all out of touch with the way | things go here at home, and you don't understand how every last dollar counts. You trot off to town when you feel like it, and paint in a studio all winter, and give lessons, and go to the opera, and haven't a thing to do but keep Tan Shapin in a good humor. And Chester’s just like you.” “You might leave poor old Ches out of it,” interposed Estania, distantly. “He's right in it,” Vic laughed. “If he had come home this summer and helped as he should have done, we would not have had to insult the fam- ily self-respect by taking in ten dol- lars a week regularly.” “Where’s mother?” “Gone boating with Mr. Pomeroy,” very demurely. “He has been just dear, Tan, with mother. He's got a motor boat, a perfectly water-tight, tame one that he keeps down at the club dock, and he takes her out every day for a trip down the bay.” “Mother?” with raised eyebrows. “Dear, no—the boat; but mother does go often and so do I. friend of the Barclays and wanted to be near them for the summer. We think {t's Margaret so far.” Estania turned with her traveling cloak and suitcase, almost colliding at the bend of the staircase with a young man who was hurrying down three steps at a time. He was tall and dark, thoroughly shabby. “Pardon me. Awtully clumsy and unlucky I am, anyway. Say, Vic, your mother wants her gray veil to ti¢ He stood out on the broad veranda wait- ing while Vic hunted for the things. Estania could not explain her feel- ings. Somehow the summer boarder grew to represent to her all the fallen fortunes of the little home, and ehe re- sented his very existence. If Chester had been there, it could never have happened. But Chester was one of the smooth-faced lieutenants facing his first battle smoke on one of the big gray ships in the gulf. Then came a fateful day. Mr. Pome- roy had gone for a shore tramp with Vie. Mrs. Chapin was taking a nap. It was a golden day out of doors, and Tan had decided to paint a water color of the garden. She wanted a certain | camp etool that Vic had handed over with anything else he wanted, to the summer boarder. Bstania ventured into his room to recover her property. Inside the door she stopped. Facing her on the bureau was a very good photograph of herself, one that she had sent to Chester just before his gail- ing south. Yet it confronted her now, and it was enshrined on Bruce Pome- roy’s dresser. She went down quletly without the camp stool, and waited determinedly for the return of Mr, Pomeroy. He came with Vic along the beach, strolling leisurely. Vic ran into the house to help with dinner, and Bruce threw himself down on the grass in front of the angry goddess. He heard her in eilence, merely nod- ding assent to every accusation she made. Yes, he had known Chester very well indeed; chums at Annapolis. He himself had given up the navy when his father had died, and now sub- sisted most comfortably on an income derived from shoe manufacture, “Awfully unpoetic, isn't 1t smiled at this confession. “And you gained possession of my | picture from Ches?” “I did,” he acquiesced cordially, “I saw it when he was packing, and it in- terested me. Then I knew Peggie Bar- clay and she coaxed your blessed mother into taking pity on a lone bach- elor, and letting me stay here for the summer. I had an idea at that time, you know, that you'd come home, and I'd see you.” Slowly Estania’'s dignity began to ebb away. She stared out at a vagrant sea gull that swept in narrowing eir | cles over the little boat dock below | them. “T'm afraid I've been a perfect cat” he He's a “I had no idea that | you were a chum of Chester’s.” | “I'm going to be more than that,” Bruce answered, rather soberly. “I'm going to be his brotherinlaw. Vic fust | promised me that joy.” [ (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa- | per Syndicate.) | The Slow Hired Man. *T have heard that a growing pump- | kin or melon vine will in a few days | reach a pail of water left near it | nantly, said the farmer's wife, at the evening | where I ¢ lamp. “Well, my hired man will do the | going to stand same thing,” replied the farmer; *“but “Well,” indig- “it w @ if I had been them ;.uu'd. | have acted just the same, ang I wasn't for jt!" ‘Oh, gee!" gasped Mr Jibbetts as .5,5 it will take him at least that long to | he | do it | are the 23, 1914, £ WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN “Wouldn't it be wonderful!” breathed Mrs. Jibbetts ecstatically. “Huh?" inquired Jibbetts. “Why,” explained his wife, coming down to earth and laying aside her magazine, “if 1 had the northeast cor- ner of the back yard divided off, by wire fencing—and there is that plano just the thing—and Johnny could help—" “Are you crazy?" demanded Jibbetts, in genuine alarm. - “Why, I'm talking about chickens, sald Mrs. Jibbetts. “If I had six good, healthy hens, we would have all the fresh eggs we wanted all summer a.nd then in the fall we could eat them.” “Why not buy cold storage eggs in the first place?" asked Jibbetts sar- castically. “Why save them up till fall?" “I mean eat the chickens,” sald Mrs. | Ibbetts, engrossed with her {idea. “Wouldn't it be lovely? Could you move up the piano box—" “Lillian,” said Jibbetts, “vou might as well forget it! Chickens in the | back yard! Perfectly ridiculous! I never heard of such a thing in—in this neighborhood, too! “What if you didn't?” demanded Mrs. Jibbetts hotly. “I should think you'd be glad to have me cut the cost of living instead of ralsing a fuss | about it! And about such a small thing as six chickens. Six—" “Six jumping jehoshaphats!” said Jibbetts. “You must want to work the neighbors up to the point where they1l form a Ku Klux clan in self defense! “I think,” sald Mrs. Jibbetts, her lips drawn in a straight line, “that you'll find I have something to say about this, Harold! You talk as though it was entirely up to you! I guess that if T fix the place and get them and take care of them, you'll eat the eges, all right! And if the neigh- bors don't like it they can move! We've been here longer than most of them! Anyhow, they won't be dis- turbed! T read somewhere that if you treated chickens kindly and fed them the right stuff they’'d only cluck con- tentedly and not cackle. They—" “I suppose 80, said Jibbetts. “I suppose if you held a Leghorn chick- en’s claw tenderly and fed it gum- drops while you addressed it as “ckle sweetheart,’ the creature would be- have itself or die oun the spot with “You Might as Well Forget It.* Joy. But you let some one else try the experiments. Somebody always gets blown up, and in this case I think it would be us. Anyhow, you'd be want- ing me to uphoister the plano box in red plush and put in electric bells, so that if one of the chickens got lone- some after dark and wanted to be read to or have the vietrola turned on it could arouse you! There wouldn’t be any eggs. And if there | were, the boys on the alley would steal them.” “You don’t know anything about {t!” cried Mrs, Jibbetts. “If you feed them right they'll lay eges all the time! It would take but a few vards of wire fencing and it would keep Johnny busy after school, and when I think of those fresh eggs—" “All the fresh eggs this family {s going to use will be found at the gro- cery store!™ declared Jibbetts. b | won't have it!
