ALIST A MISTAE. £ & ® & [ ] 4040‘5“% By CLARA INEZ DEACON. Ofio{ntofiotofiofiofiflu#ofioag They were golng to have a new weather man at Point Hope. The one that had been in charge for a couple of years was addicted to the habit of occa- siona)} sprees, and when they hap- pened his predie- tions of the weather to come for the next three days were terrify- ing Point Hope was a village of 1,000 inhabitants, and was inclined to be social, The weath- er man, whether married or not, was expected to take a hand in the soclal game. bureau was talking to Burt Hudson, who was to fill the place. “Young man, you have done well at your other stations, and I'm hoping for the same or better at Point Hope. | And remember, always consider your | dignits.” ! “I certainly ehall do the best I can,”. was the reply. In due time Mr. Hudson arrived at Point Hope. The population turned out to meet him. He was himself until within ten miles of the town, and then he became somebody else. He put on the mantle of dignity as advised by his chief. How it worked was told in the comments of the peo- ple when they came to compare notes. “I told him I'd like to play check- ers with him,” said Uncle Riley, “and he glared like a January bliz- zard.” “When he came in I was for shak- ing hands with him and asking about his family,” said the landlord of the inn, “but he sorter drawed away as it I was second class. I don't believe he'll eat prune sass once a week.” Two of the most interesting people in Point Hope were the Widow Wel- come and her daughter Marian. It was said of them that they had the nicest house and the most money, and no one disputed that the daugh- ter was the handsomest and best educated young lady among them. Two weeks after Mr. Hudson's ar- rival he was being discussed by mother and daughter. A young man had escorted Marian and another girl to the signal etation and introduced them. They were received with alto- gether too much courtesy and dignity to please them. “Ha ia a gentleman. mother.” sald Meanwhile the head of the weather’ THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAXELAND, FLA, OCT. 27, i914. — the daughter, “but he freezes one. 1 don’t believe the governor puts on the dignity that Mr. Hudson does.” “Well, dear, he may be qulet and undemonstrative among strangers, but let us hope he will thaw out as he gets acquainted.” A gathering took place and Mr. Hudson was there. He thawed out considerably, but not enough to es- cape censure. The majority said that his attitude belonged in a New York drawing room. Miss Marian met him with a smile, but at the look of dig nity on his face she froze up and was like an icicle the rest of the evening. The mother was the only one of the party who read the young man truly. After the guests had gone she said to her daughter: “I think I can read Mr. Hudson aright.” “Then you can read a rock!” was the sulky reply. “He is acting a part in being so stiff and formal.” “I shan’t put myself out to enter- tain such a polar bear!” “You see if he doesn’t begin ‘to thaw out soon. If he is acting a part, as I belleve he is, he can’t hold to it many weeks. in him when he calls and finds us alone.” H When Mr. Hudson had held the! station six months all the people " agreed that he had thawed out at least one-half. This, they contended.' was doing pretty well, but it was not enough to satisfy Miss Marlan, who sald to her mother: “When Mr. Hudson shows that hel is human as other men, maybe I shall begin to like him.” Queerly enough, there was evidence ; of it next day. He appeared at the' house and challenged her to ride with him on his new tandem bicycle. She accepted at once, and they had a five- mile spin, to her delight. It was re. peated in a few daye, and they had been out half a dozen times, when the sudden, terrific and awtul change she had hoped for took place. They were trying to get home be- ! fore a thundershower, when the bl-l cycle ran over a hog on the highway and the riders were sent flying into the bushes. Marlan was not much ! hurt.
