BiS FOLLY By GRACE KERRIGAN. by the McClure Newspa- (Copyright ”:'r s’ adicated “Dan going to get married?” re- peated Mrs. Archer in response to an “No, indeed, Mrs. Blake! Dan’s never kept com- pany with a girl in his life—not but what I want him to get married if he can find the right girl; but cer- tainly I would know, if anyone did!" “Of course you would,” agreed Mrs. Blake, “but it seems so queer for him to be building a bungalow up there on bis lot, spending every spare min- ute of his time on it, and doing every stitch of work himself—unless he was going to live in it. Perhaps he will rent it,” with happy inspiration. Mrs. Archer shook her head. “He says not. If you'll promise not to breathe a word, Mrs. Blake—" “Of course I won't!” interrupted Mrs. Blake excitedly. . “Well—he says he's goirg to have the home ready, and when the right girl comes along, then he'll get mar-, ried! 1It's a foolish thing to do, but Dan is a good boy, and if he enjoys building s nest before he finds a | mate, why, I can’t complain!” Mrs. Archer laughed comfortably. “No—indeed!” replied Mrs. Blake, and then hastening her departure she transmitted far and wide the in- | telligence of Dan Archer's purpose in building the little brown bungalow , on the hill west of his father’s house. And before another day had dawned the good gossips of Crystal Brook were chuckling over Dan Archer's l“lolly," as they called his undertak- in, So Archer’s Folly became rather a Joke in the village, but Dan Archer knew nothing of it. Few would have dared to hint the words to the steady- eyed young giant who went about his nest bullding so earnestly without a thought as to the absurdity of his endeavor. There came a night when the wind howled around the bungalow and the snow beat against the walls until they were covered with a thick white mantle. There was a fireplace in Dan’s study and a great pile of hickory logs as well as a comfortable couch, so on certain nights when he had been studying closely Dan would decide to sleep there. On this stormy night Dan turned away from the window and replen- ished the fire. Then he prepared for bed leaving a lighted lantern in the window of the living room. ‘It's a bad night outside,” he mur- mured Whfle the little village slept under the drifting mantle of snow, a horse and sleigh moved slowly through the road that led from the next village. Occasionally the horse stopped and breathed heavily and once it almost fell in its tracks. “Uncle Nathan, I'm afraid that Sor- rel can't go much farther,” quavered a girl's sweet voice, “Are you very mnear the doctor’s, Folly?" The old man’s voice sound- ed muffied from its thick wrappings of woolen comforter. “I'm afraid I don't know!” and this time the girl's voice held a note of despair. “We are off the main road and I can't see a thing—ah, there is a light! Let us turn toward ft—there must be a house. It we can reach it, perhaps we can send for a doctor from there.” The wind tore her.words into frag- ments, but the old man understood, 80 he crouched down among the fur robes while Folly urged the horse to greater efforts. tant. “It's a house on a hill,” explained Felicla, as she helped her uncle from the sleigh. The Daintrys lived in the adjoining village of Upton Center and the only physician in the village had been called away on an urgent case, 8o that when Uncle Nathan cut himself with an ax Felicla could only bind up the wound as best she might and then, bundling the old man into a sleigh, strive to reach Crystal Brook, three miles away. By daylight Uncle Nathan had been made very comfortable, and the doc- tor having taken his departure Mrs. Archer took the weary girl down to the farmhouse and tucked her into bed, while Dan, after stabling Sorrel, went back to keep vigil by the in- jured man. Dan came down to breakfast with Felicia, and his heart quickened as he saw that she was quite as beautiful as he had thought her the night before. When Mrs. Archer learned that Un- cle Nathan called his niece “Folly,” she immediately confided the fact to Dan, and added the information that his neighbors called Dan's bunga! by the nickname of “Archer’s Foll. “Archer's Folly!" chuckled Dan, with dancing eyes. “That sounds pretty good to me, mother!” And his mother marveled at his meaning, while Dan added to himself: "I won- der if she would mind being called ‘Archer’'s Folly? " He asked her one day, and her answer was :0 satisfactory that they set about planning how the bungalow should be furnished. “I am 8o glad you saved it till I came,” planned. “I knew you would come some day,” declared Dan_contentedly. laughed Folly, while they Miles Here and There. In England a mile means the fa- miliar 1,760 yards, but in Iceland it means 2,240 yards, and in the High- lands it may mean the old Scots mile of 1976 yards. In Switzerland the hardy mountaineers think 9,153 the proper thing, even when, as generally is, it is very much uphill. The Swiss is the longest mile of all, being fol- lowed by the Vienna post mile of 8,206 yards. The Flemish mile is 6,869 yards, the Prussian 8,237 yards, and in Denmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mile. The Turks are satisfied with 1,826 yards and the Italians shorten the distance of a mile to 1,766.

(Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) Leonard saw the gown for the first time in the Van Tyle's drawing room. His artistic senses were stimulated to a degree quite foreign to them, for Leonard was not of an artistic nature. He was the more l\!rprlled.lthen, that a n worn by a’ perfectly strange wog:n should so excite his admira- tion. Therefore, in view of the strange | emotion awakened within him, he went immediately to his hostess and craved an introduction to the girl in the pink dress. His hostess raised rebuking eye- brows at him. “Pink! My dear Eric, that is new dawn, not pink!” She let fall the last word as if it were a word erased from the latest dictionary for society. “All right, new dawn,” laughed Eric, rejoicing that he was a mere man and not expected to know pink from any gther color. He followed his hostess until she had piloted him and left him at anchor beside Elise Watterman, who had turned with a delighted smile at his approach, and Eric knew the girl outmatched her new dawn gown both in beauty and the effect on his senses in general. Eric fell in love with her. He was a struggling journalist, with scarcely enough of worldly goods to hold him securely in the world of success. Yet his precipitate fall into the realm of love was none the less violent. When he danced a few minutes later with Elise and felt his hand touch the back of the new dawn gown and realized that the girl her- self was within it Eric vowed that he would write the points off his pen in an effort to make himself worthy to win Elise Watterman for his own. Before the idea for the great play came to him, Eric saw as much as possible of Elise. He tried, without putting it into words, to convey to her the knowledge that she was the mistress of his heart, and that one day he would tell her so. It seemed difficult, and yet Eric felt occasion- ally that Elise was sending queer little telepathic messages of rather delightful import into his inner con- sclousness. The knowledge only in- spired him the more, and his senses reeled in anticipation of the day upon which his tongue could express the love he bore her. When the great idea came to him for the play that was to make him famous Eric made the one false step in his career. He went oft into the seclusion of the country to concen- trate and left no address behind him. When Elise Watterman read his brief note of farewell a feeling of depression swept over her. She felt suddenly very lonely, and knew that she would not be really happy until Eric Leonard returned to her side. She wished that he had at least trusted her with his address. So the days wore on and Eric Leonard created the parts of a great lay in the five months he worked in his enforced seclusion. More than a little dragged and tired from strenu- ous tension of nerves and energy, he made his way back to living beings and the eity of friends. He had no premonition, no hint of the tragedy that was awaiting him in town. Elise Watterman's father had been found guilty of embezzle- ment, had been sentenced, but escaped ounishment by a shot. Elise, feeling ever, prevent managers from reading his play and accepting it with flatter- ing alacrity. The play was strong and the public welcomed it after many suc- cessive failures had been withdrawn. It was the sudden sight of the new dawn gown in a second-hand clothing shop that finally gave Elise back to him. Fortunately for Eric's purpose the clothing man had pought much from the wardrobe of Elise and knew her addrees. Having obtained it and pur chased the frock Eric went his way. He found his dawn girl bending over the bit of fine embroidery by which.she was beginning her life as WHEN YOU PUT YOUR GOOD MONEY INTO § BUILDERS’ HARDWARE, YOU WANT THE RIGHT STYLE, THE RIGHT QUALITY, THE RIGHT PRICE. i THEN BUY YOUR BUILDERS' HARDWARE § FROM US.

She was dressed in simple black and her hair shone like a sunrise above the somber clouds. Her smile when she looked up at her visitor and realized all that his pres- ence meant was wonderful to behold. Eric drew a quick breath, then stepped forward and crushed her in his arms. The proud golden head drooped against his shoulder. “Elise,” Eric whispered brokenly, for he was trembling with the joy of knowing that she was safe within his arms, “my girl of the new dawn.” To Soften Water.
