Office Phone 410 EVENING TALEGRAM, LAKELA AN OFFER OF WORK @y MILDRED cAROLI‘Nl GOOoD “Oh, man!—do you waat to do some ‘work?”’ It was little Flo Duncombe, a pretty child of eight years, who shouted the words at a young man passing the fenced4n garden where she stood with ber sister, Iola. The latter, eighteen and beautiful, was rather sorry that her lmpe'.umlll companion had so familiarly called the passer-by “man”—for he was a man, indeed—straight, athletic, bronzed and carelessly dressed, but under the sur- face the clear eyes and intelligent face proclaimed the gentleman. “Work, little one?” smiled the stranger, pausing and at one glance at the lovely face of Iola, becoming in- terested. "I am always glad to work. What s 1t™ “Rose leaves and down'!” chattered Flo excitedly, important and eager. “I fear my little sister has been presumptuous,” spoke Miss Duncombe, going nearer the picketed fence. “I— 1 needed some assistance.” “And I am glad of an offer of work,” declared the young man promptly, doffed his cap, cleared the fence at a bound and stood awaiting orders, Miss Duncombe showed a puzzled, irresolute expression in her fair face. She oould not quite estimate this brisk, willing stranger. He carried a portfolio under one arm. Was he a canvasser? He did not look it. Iola could not exactly analyze him and as she regarded him there was a pleased look on his face, as though he read her thoughts and was whimsically pleased to act the man of mystery. Iola was obliged to say something to relieve the unnatural strain of the situation. “The work is less arduous than tedi ocus and painstaking,” she said and she led the way towards an ornate summer house. It was quite a com- plete structure of itself, being sup- plied with doors and windows, but these so arranged that in summer time they could be lifted out of view, making of the pagoda-like edifice an open air pavilion. As she neared its door the young man instantly understood the allusion of little Flo to rose leaves and feath- “l—i Needed Some Assistance.” ers. The walls were formed of rough plastering. To every minute projec- tion of this attached myriad particles of soft ilmy down. The light feathery fragments covered the furniture, the pictures, ledges, cobwebs in the cor- ners. A minature snowstorm seemed to have broken loose. Outside, yond an open window a line of laurel bushes were deluged with the down. Upon a stand in the center of the place was an empty silk pillow, partly made. Iola said: ¢ “Some one opened the windows where I had been working last night, @ strong wind came up and you see the result. The rose leaves were sent me by a friend from California, I have managed to gather them up, for they were blown off the table in a he p, but the down—I fear it is not worth the labor gathering it up.” “You might try,” suggested the young man. “If you would get me a pillow-slip or a deep basket I will see what can be done.” Miss Duncombe went to the house and brought out three baskets. She and Flo set about the same task as this “hired help.” She learned that his name was Archie Blair. His man- ner was so courteous and respectful that they became quite friendly. Lit- tle Flo took a rare liking to the bright- hearted young man, who said and did all kinds of merry things in chasing down the butterfly-like down, making of work real play. It took two hours to gather up most of the scattered down. Then Ilola said: “I am greatly obliged, and the com- pensation—" “I was just going to speak of that,” declared Archie. “If you will allow me to sketch some of the beautiful surroundings here, with this little fairy and yourself in the picture, I will feel fully compensated.” . So he was an artist, reflected Iola, ,and several little sketches of his pen- FLA., NOV. 30, 1914, [ BRINLEY] PLOWS [ BRINLEY | Just received, a complete line of 10 ard 12 inch back. ODEL HARDWARE Go, Phone No. 340 of the lake distriot, some twenty miles distant, If the young artist ceased to remem- ber the fair maiden with whom he had spent those delightful hours, not so Iola. A new-comer in town, a Robert Wilder, came pretty regularly to see her, but Iola took little interest in him. He had bloomed forth in the village as a young man of fortune on a vacation. Mr. Duncombe had met him at the town club and took quite a fancy to him, This was, however, be- cause as his partner at whist the tal- ented young man won most of the games from their adversaries at cards. One evening this delectable individ- ual met Jim Carr, a servant at the Duncombe home, in a secret way. Judging from their conversation, | these two had known ome another in | a simister way in the past. Further ; than that, it appeared that the vaunt- ed young man of wealth had some hold on Jim. “See here, Carr,” he said on the present oocasion, “you know what I'm after: a rich wife. If oidd Duncombe | has the money I think I wouldn’t ob- " Ject to becoming his son-in-law.” “You want to be spry, then,” ad-| ¥ised JMm. “Why is that? “There’s a young artist fellow who has been around for an evening or two. He met Miss Iola about a week ago, it seems, and, on his way to Lho! city, has decided to stop in the village ! for a week or two. My opinion is he 18 in love with the girl.” “Oh, well, 'm pretty solid with the | old man,” boasted Wilder. “See here, I want you to do something for me and I'll pay you well.” “All right—what fs 1t? | “I want you to act as my dicta- phone., In other worde, could you manage to overhear what conversation goes on in the house; like what old | Duncombe says about me, and how the girl regards me? ' “Sure,” replied Jim readily. “Then report to me day after to- morrow,” and at their tryst Jim ap- peared at the time appointed. “I've got some news,” be advised Wilder. “Let’s have 1t.” “There's a closet I managed to hide in just off the library, where I over- heard a good deal. Night before last I heard Mr. Duncombe telling what a capital fellow you were.” “Good!” commented Wilder. “Then I overheard them talking with his lawyer. From the conversa- tion I gathered that he is worth abwt & hundred thousand dollars. “Excellent—go on, Jim,” dlnctad ‘Wilder. “Last evening, though, a m\ncer called. He was inquiring about you. He is a detective from the city looking you up for a swindling game there, and he told Mr. Duncombe all about it.” “Zounds! then I'm done for,” ex- claimed Wilder, “I reckon I'll make tracks from town before I'm picked up,” and Wilder started to move away. “There was something more,” ad- vised Jim. “That artist fellow.” “Yes—well, what about him?" ques- tioned Wilder irritably. “He proposed to Miss Iola this after neon.” “The mischief!” “And was accepted.” (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) New Shoulder Straps. The English shoulder strap is now being used by the woman with a beau- tiful neck, instead of the conventional American shoulder cap or frilled eve- ning sleeve. America has, however, gone a step farther. One strap is al- lowed to drop alluringly from the shoulder, as though by accident, but really by artful design. Another pret- ty and equally “careless” effect is that of sewing a rose to the side front of the gown, just as though, in the act of falling to the floor from the bodice, its thorns had caught in the gown and held it suspended. = ) GSOBOHCHP SR IS S0 C.
