APRIL'S FICKLE LADY § By MARTHA M'CULLOCH. | WILLIAMS. | ! (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa- | paper Syndicate.) | “Tiresome is no word for it,” Leeta | sald, throwing herself back in her |ing in the fire, elbows on knees. Jean, her comrade-cousin, laughed | softly. “What is so tiresome—endur- | ing Ned or doing without Billy?” “Both — neither!"” Leeta cried, springing up and darting to the piano. “I belleve it is mostly—men in gen- eral.” > “Say, rather, the fact that you can't | be quite happy with or without them,” Jean retorted. “Tell the truth, Lee | —you know flirtation is—the salt of i life to you.” “You're no better—only slyer,” Leeta flamed out. Jean laughed heartily. “Please ex- | plain!” she said, after a minute. | “Maybe I am sly; if so, I deceive my- ! gelf the same as anybody else.” “You don't!” Leeta cried, whirling to face her cousin. “You know—you | can't deny—you've played your cards | beautifully—to make Davy Andrews propose—" “What's Davy?" Jean queried, with just the faintest flush. | Leeta stamped hard. “The only | one really worth while—in all this | ruck that has come calling on us,” she said. | Jean stared. “Why—you called ! him a frozen fright at first—and | begged me to save you from him,” | she said defensively. Leeta nodded. “I was a fool—now —1 am wiser,” she sald huskily. “I didn’t mean to tell you ever, but it hurts so to see you playing with him —when I—" “Playing with him!" Jean echoed. “You speak in riddles. You can't mean playing at love-making, just because I made him a leap-year pro- posal! You know how that hapened. All of you dared me to do it. I chose Davy because—" “Bescause you liked him—best of all,” Leeta exploded. “And youl wanted to see him get hot and red— with all the others laughing at you two!” “Funny way to show affection—mak- fortable,” Jean interrupted. | Leeta gripped her shoulders hard do love him. Deny it—if you can.” Jean freed herself, looking at the other half-compassionately, half- sald; stating open-eyea as David man- fully explained. Fate, which asks questions, some- times also answers them. Three days later David knew with awful certainty he would never be happy without Jean.

You knew!” he persisted, “as 1 know now—when it is almost too late.” “Quite too late,” Jean said, turning away her face. Then and there came an emissary of kind fortune to the pair. He was most sportsmanly clad and carried a gun rather gingerly. “Can you tell me,” he began, “if I am on the way to Fair Oaks? 1 seem to have lost my way—why, Miss Jean—it can't be you?” 4 “Me! Not my ghost!” Jean said, suddenly shaken yet presenting to David Mr. Archer Crane, “a friend from home,” she added descriptively. Mr. Crane beamed. “Who hopes very soon to be—something more— a cousin,” he sald blandly, “unless some of the Fair Oaks beaux have persuaded Leeta to throw me over.” “There {8 not the least danger, sir,” David said heartily. “Come along!

I have noticed during a quarter of & century’s observations, that when all the financial writers are proclaim- ing the merits of a particular stock, fi" at the same time ingiders, who ' supposed to know all about ft, are pointing out its good points, in- creasing earnings, etc, somebody stands waiting to sell, “Jasper” writes in Leslie’s. I have also noticed that, when a stock advances, day by day or week by week, without uym ing sald in explanation, or wi any effort being made to attract at- tention to it, there must be something “worth while” going on, especially if transactions in that stock be large.
