The pretty bride was living over her
courtship days ns she rested before
dressing for the ceremony. First she
saw the familiar living-room consid
erately vacated by the family. With
nervousness wrapping her like a
ninntle, she had opened the front door
to Herbert, spruce and Immaculate,
and wondered If his mother knew he
was out. Then Mrs. Sawtelle Mont
gomery Mason had not thought the
Harrisons worthy of notice.
She and Herbert had seated them
selves awkwardly on opposite sides
of the and conversation had
flagged, though his chocolates had dls
apiK'ared rapidly enough. They had
summoned courage erSJugh to smile
at each other occasionally, and were
laughing over a past high school party
when an awful groan had been heard,
followed by a blast that had sent Mary
to her feet trembling with fear.
Herbert had leaped to her side, his
arms about her slender waist. ‘‘l will
protect you,” he hud said. "Do not
be afraid. I will take care of you.”
Safe In this shelter, they two had
heard Great-Uncle Ell’s cane go
"thud” and his quavering voice sum
moning "Colllne." Then mother’s low
answer, with a quiver of mirth In It.
“Yon snored and waked yourself up.
Uncle Ell, that was all 1"
Stilling their giggles, the young
couple had returned to their former
positions and talked merrily until
mother came In and Herbert departed.
Hadn’t deaf Uncle Ell proved a trial,
though his board and care kept moth
er out of the fuctory and paid the
Interest on that hungry old mortgage.
But Uncle Eli went to bed at eight
and mustn’t be disturbed. All evening
callers were taboo, and besides, Mrs.
Sawtelle Montgomery Mason said Her
bert mustn’t come.
Mary was worried about the post
offleo money. Mr v Owen, was away

Goodrich one-quality standard. It gives him the long
est mileage, the most satisfactory service and the high
est quality his money can buy. Results will prove that
it is impossible to buy tire mileage at lower cost*

THE aF. GOODRICH RUBBER COMPANY, Akron, Ohio
over Sunday and Mary hud to bring
the money home.
Hours later, when that awe-inspir
ing combination of snort, groan and
shriek had sounded through the dark
ened house, she hod been the first one
down. She had heard the yell of fear,
the chinking thud of metal, the win
dow slammed down and retreat
ing footsteps on the porch.
To an accompaniment of Uncle Ell’s
groans, she had switched on the light
to see an open drawer, money hag
dropped by the stove and curtain
awry.
Mother wns dosing Uncle Ell and
brother was colling up Dr. Plggot
when Mary found the last recreant
coin rolled Into the farthest corner.
Wasn’t Dr. Plggot mad with Uncle,
though he had pulled him through in
safety. And next morning, how the
whole town rang with the bravery of
Herbert Mason, who, coming home
from sitting up with a sick churn, had,
single-handed, captured Jed Bangs,
who tried to steal the postofllce
money I
Then on Uncle Ell’s ninety-third
birthday, he had ordered her to get
some “Nawncy l’urtles” for the gnr
den. Mary had been utterly bewild
ered, but Herbert knew “None-so-pret
ties" were great-grandmothers of our
present-day pansies. Herbert had
some, he would bring them. So he
had done, and Uncle Ell had showed
him the garden for two mortal hours.
“Nice, quiet feller, that; make you
a good beau, Mary. Why don’t ye set
yer cap for him?" the old man had
asked afterward.
Not long after uncle had eluded
Mary and her mother again, and been
brought home one evening weary but
triumphant by u smiling Herbert. Un
cle had gone right to bed, but Her
bert had much to say.
“My mother’s been helping him fig
ure his Income tax,” explained the
lad. “Great goodness, Mary, he pays
a thundering big one. He must own
pretty near all Heatlifield, and folks
all thought he Just had an annuity!
You folks are down in his will, I be
lieve.”
Mary remembered how Incredulous
slie_had been nt first. ...
“Mother's keeping one paper for
him. I didn’t sec It, of course. She
says she’s thought again about my
coming here and, since you’re so good
to the old gentleman, I may come
as often as I like,” went od Herbert.
Mnry had beamed at him silently.
“I mean all you like," corrected
Herbert, mindful of his manners.
Then the family had slid out some
way and Mary and he had been alone.
Tbe young couple had Just learned
that that paper promised SIO,OOO to
Mary the day she married Herbert
Eldon Mason. Last night uncle had
showed them the paper and declared
It the best Investment he had ever
made. Uncle seemed to be taking on;
anew lease of life.
□ark, was that the clock striking?:
Yes. she must arouse and begin to;
dress. Here was mother coming to;
call her, ami thut was uncle’s pdbe-;
tratlng falsetto. “Yes, Colllne, I In-j
tend to live to be u hundred and mab- j
be I’ll let Mrs. Herbert Mason take[
care of me bimeby If she proves ei :
sufe and ez tasty a cook ez ye be.”
