When Ted graduated from Har- ‘vard two years previous he was en- tirely satisfied to settle down ag a rmer. Already the farm was show- ing signs of progress under his man- agement, This June afternoon, however. Ted ing Liking was not farming. Just after dinner he took a bath and donned his “city” clothes. When he walked into the kitchen, straw hat in hand, his mother appraised him with an expression of proud admiration. “Dear me, Ted,” she joked, "it's no wonder Ruth likes Woodfield. I cer- tainly admire her taste.” “Aw, cut it out, ma. Say, ma, do you like this tie?” Of course she did. And if ma did, then Ruth surely would. Ruth Burnett lived in the house next to the Staffords until she was 16. The two families had been close friends even after the Burnetts moved to the city, where Ruth was now a school teacher. What {s more, Mrs. Stafford invited Ruth to Woodfieid to spend part of her vacation every Sum- mer, and rumor had it that in the near future she woz c-ming to Woodfield ' LEO\ ARD \ ‘5CUSSES { e new plan will be Yoted on next mnth TWELVE GRIDIRON GAMES BOUT WITH RICKARD Benny Leonard world's lightweight -hampion, probably. wiil make on Febru- iry 10 his first appearance In Madison Squaly Garten since the resumption of Jusiness relations between himself and ‘illy f'lbsl\n, his manager, on one, hand nd Tex Rickard, on the other.

By Parke Whitney for good. At any rate Ted was doing 2ll he could to make the rumor true. Just now he was setting out for the station to meet the 3:45, which was bringing Ruth from the ciiy. As the old horse jogged along the shady road, Ted's mind was flled with the pleas- ure of anticipation. For he knew that the two weeks of Ruth's visit wouid be & delightful break in the dull mo- netony of country life. He knew that it meant canoe trips with lunch uwndsr the trees; fighing trips where they never caught any fish; rides along the country roads; and this June it means all these things and a lot more—this June, Ted decided, he would ask Ruih to come to Woodfield to stay. T don't know how he kuew, but hs ‘was pretiy sure what the pretty littla school teacher's answer would be, and that probably explained his fregnent bursts of song. “Yip-i-addy-i-ay!” The ‘birds and the Bullfrogs stopped to lis- ten. Such a disturbance in this quiet lane was unheard of. ‘It was asbout quarter-past three when Ted alighted from the depot wagon. He bustled into the station and shouted a greeting to Ira Jones, who performed the duties of ticket agent, baggege master and telegrapn operator, and whose official title was “station agent.” Ira was the news center of Woodfield since he picked up the doings of the surrounding towns from the agents along the line. Out- ide of this, the use of the telegraph in ‘Woodfleld was negligible. “What's new, 137?” queried Ted. “Well, they got a new barbet down in Johnsonville, and there's a bur- lesque show ‘comin’ inter Eastway Thursday night.
