DO DO [ ] game of marbles was abandoned and By CECILIA HAMBURG. 000000000000000000000000 “You did!” cried Johnny Philbig, tu- multuously. ' “Didn’t!” asserted Georgie Driggs, | emphatically. And then the fight was \ on. | It raged down the sidewalk and around the corner, and for a time the forgotten. On the cement walk the little glass spheres reposed quietly, twinkling and waiting. They had not long to wait. Down the steps of the Philbig home came Philbig himself, tall, immaculate and with head carried high. His pol- ished shoe, descending on a red and white marble, shot into the air just as though it had been an ordinary, un- shined, day-laborer shoe. Philbig's head hit the ground a whack that echoed. There was chaos in hie brain when he rose. The disturbing of his personal dignity was an insult that stirred Phil- big to the depths and moreover his hat was dented, his coat was dusty and one glove was split. This was in addition to the physical pain that he felt. His fall having scattered the marbles, Philbig was unable to deter- mine the cause of the disaster. He limped on his way with smothered rage within his breast. “Hello, old man!” said Billicks at the station and slapped Philbig on the shoulder. In a quieter condition of mind Phil- big would have let Billicks knuck him ¢ down and would have pretended to like it, for Philbig was angling for a huge order from Billick's firm, and had al- ready planned what to do with the profit. But just now his nerves were on edge. So he whirled away angrily from the too-familiar hand. “Good- morning, sir!” he snapped and stalked off. “Grouch!” said Billicks to himself, indignantly. Several times on the way to town he repeated the word. Later in the day when the order came up for discussion and the senior member said he'd like to throw it to a friend of his Billicks told him to go ahead, because it made absolutely no differ- ence to him whether Philbig got it or not. Shortly after her husband's disas- trous exit from home Mrs. Philbig sal- Hed forth to attend to the day's mar- keting. “O-0-uch!” moaned Mrs. Philbig when her thin-soled pump landed upon & particularly vicious little marble that had rolled to the edge of the inside walk. She hopped on one foot and looked for the trouble maker, but it had sped away into oblivion, As she hopped she chanced to ob- serve between the window curtaing across the street the face of Mrs. Driggs, who was frankly laughing at the funny figure Mrs. Philbig made. A stout woman hopping on one foot with the other foot tenderly nursed in her hand is rather amusing. Mrs. Philbig knew this, and it added to her confu- sion and wrath. “Cat!"” she said in the direction of Mrs. Driggs. “I had begun to think she was a rather decent neighbor, but this shows what she is actually like. 1 shall blackball her this afternoon when her name is voted on at the club. It is my duty to the community!"” Blackball Mrs. Driggs she did, and Mrs. Driggs’ best friend saw her do ft, and told Mrs. Driggs. That offended woman said, “That settles it!" and im- mediately clinched the bargain with the agent for the fashionable new apartment she had heard Mrs, Philbig say she was dying to get. And it was the only one left in the building, “Had a frightful day!” Philbig told his wife, gloomily, when he came home to dinner, “Don’t mention {t!” she returned mournfully. “So have I! What do you think? That hateful Driggs wom- an signed the lease today for that apartment we have just decided we'd take! And it has a garage for the elec- tric and everything! “Don’t weep over that!" husband, grimly. said her “For there won't be any electric! Billicks' firm, after prac- tically promising that order to me, switched over and gave it to Snnt!xff There goes $7,000 in profits, We'll be | eating sawdust for a while llmh ad m buying electrics, I'm thinking!® “W hould we have such dreadful luck!” wailed Mrs. Philbig. “It's JLL\!‘ bad luck and not a single soul to' blame! Is that you, Johnny? Come, ‘ kiss mother—he's the only real com. fort we have in all this trouble!” Parson Rose to the Occasion. Uncle Jim Sugarfoot killed a fine rabbit for the entertainment of Par son Heavegrace, who was expected to , but as rabbits were out of son he thought to avold what might prove an embarrassing situation by makin the parson think it was chicken, | “Brother Heavegrace,” said ('m‘le! Jim, when it came time for a second hielping. “what paht of de bird would you like now?” With a merry twinkle in his halt- closed eyes Parson Heavegrace re- plied “If you all don’ mind Ah think Ah' ll take de gizzard.” —_— Overheard.
