— - BETWEEN STATIONS. BY JOHN HABBERTON. (Copyright, 190% by Datky Story Pub. Co.) RED STARRING was in a bad way. Though successful in business, cleamhearted and quite good looking and well-dressed besides, he wae in love. Hoe was afraid of girls, ard Mel! Bouche, who had turned hia haad and filled his heart so full thet bust- ness had to hide in the corners of it, was the merriest, frankest and most mischievous of ail the girls in Thornton. She had no mercy for bores, she made concetted young men feel like exposed onminais, and she made short work of the veteran beaux who Ifked to dangle about a spirited girl. She could take her choice of the unmarried young merchants of Thornton, but #he did not choose any of them, eo what chance, Fred Starring asked him- self, was there for him. It was not his own fault that he was afraid of girls, ¢or he had no sisters, anti et the period of life when most young men are having a good time in society Fred was working at night, aa well as by day, to master the ways of the mii] business which his em- ployer had promised to sell out to him at a given date. His only chance to look at giris was when he was in church, and he improved {t to the utmost. Churches have their good points, but opportunities to chat with girls 1s not one of them. Fred wished devoutly that it was, for when Nell Bouche stood up to sing or sat listening to the ser- mon her great gray eyes looked tender and earnest THE WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1908. ami her countenance was so noble and womanly that ghe appeared the most sympathetic cr@ature that Fred had ever seen But when he met her on the street che always gave him a smile #0 mischievous and mocking as if sho know what was in his mind and was,making fun of him, and when he accepted invitations to her parties | shoe persisted in introducing him t@ girls who de- | lighted tn making @ Nashful man uncomfortable. One day when Fred was returning by rail from a city not far from Thornton, and wae trying to think of tusiness, but unable to get tis heart out of his head, Miss Nel! herself entered the train at a way station and looked quickly about for some girl ac- quaintanoe to chat with Seeing none, she asked Fred frankly, and with a amfle that for once was devoid of mischief, tf sho might share hts eeat. “Delighted!” Fred murmured, “Tm sure you don't mean ft,” Nell replied, “for ‘tis plain to see that your head's full of business, Ain't I right?’ “Wo—yes—ot course you -re!" “Go right on with it, then, I'll promise not to say a single word.” “But I dont want you to do that; that ts, I wish you'd taFk to me abont ft. I don't know any one who could do tt more to the point.” “T talk about business? Oh, you're mistaken.

Some years ago Atiler, chief of the Penobscot tribe of Indians, was haled before Judge Johnson, of Oldtown, Me., for non-payment of a grocer’s bill. After the examination the old chief quietly produced the money, handed !t to the Judge and asked for a receipt. ‘The Judge said no rece!pt was necessary —that he would see to it that the old redman was never again bothered for that particular bill. But Atiler inalsted and was asked why he was so anxious for a receipt in spite of the Judge's promise, He repliedt “When me dle and fo to heaven, Great Spirit awk me if 1 pay all my honest debts.
