I THE FLY
| IN THE
t OINTMENT
By CLARISSA MACKIE
(4, 1(14, by McClurs Newspaper Syndicate.)
", . . and lastly, I give and be
queath all that piece and parcel of
land, with buildings thereon, situated
on (here followed detailed description
of the fine property) and known as
the Rawson Homestead, to my beloved
niece, Annie Laurie Rawson and to
my kind young friend, James Rawson
Jardine, share and share alike. . .”
There was more to the will of George
Rawson than that last bequest, which
interested Annie Laurie Rawson. There
had been gifts of bonds and other se
curities to her and to James Jardine,
but separately. There had been large
bequests of money to charitable or
ganizations, and to the Fenway hos
pital—a church had been enriched, old
servants had been pensioned for life —
no one whose life had very closely
touched that of George Rawson, bache
lor, had been overlooked. The poor
had been enriched and the rich had
been remembered with keepsakes.
And Annie Laurie Rawson owned
the old homestead, share and share
alike with Jimmie Jardine 1
“My dear,” said her Great-Aunt Car
oline, who was settled in her own
handsome home and had no expecta
tions from George’s estate because she
belonged to Annie's mother’s family;
“my dear, It i® wonderful for George
to leave you a share in the home
stead.”
“I know It,” returned Annie pensive
ly; “I have always loved the old gar
den —father talked so much about it
when I was a child —he was a younger
son, of course, and died so many
years ago, but I know ne Is glad—up
there, and mother is, too. I can have
a real home of my own now!” ,
“I hope you will not forget that my
home has always been yours,” whim
pered Aunt Caroline, who had married
sons and daughters and many grand
children for whom Annie Laurie acted
as governess, without pay. She had
lived with Aunt Caroline many years
and wes grateful, as • poor relation
should be, hut her Independent spirit
chafed under the yoke of kindness.
“Dear auntie, as If I could ever for
get or ever repay your kindness to
ine! But to have a house of my very
o^vn —but there Is that Jimmie Jar
line!”
“You certainly will have to have the
house divided for two families, and
you will have to have a housekeeper.
You cannot live alone."
“I know It—l have thought that per
haps the Jardine boy would sell out his
share to me,” Annie’s voice quivered
with a hidden fear. “I could never be
happy without the garden side of the
house.”
“Why do you call him the ‘Jardine
boy?’ He Is several years older than
you are, my dear, and a rising young
architect. He Is a fine fellow—used to
read to your Uncle George every day
before he went to college; since then
he has been too busy.”
Annie Laurie Rnwson colored. ‘‘l
haven’t seen him since I was a small
girl, guntie, and he was a horrid boy—
used to pull my curls whenever he had
a chance —and he had a horrid tem
per.”
The older woman smiled reminis
cently. “Yes, that Is a Jardine trait,
but they are a fine old family, but
never had much money, and James
has donfe splendidly for his parents and
brothers and sisters. They have moved
to California,”
“Then Jimmie —I mean James Jar
dine, will never want to come back to
a New England village like Fenway.”
“His office is in New York—Just one
hour from Fenway by train —he could
commute, If he wanted to live here.
Os course he may marry and settle
down here in the old homestead—he
might want to buy ont your share of
the homestead,” offered Aunt Caroline
wlaely.
“How dreadful !’* Annie shuddered
at the hare thought of “that horrid
Jardine boy” occupying her ancestral
home; Uncle George, with due respect
to the departed, had really done a
dreadful thing to tie up the property
that way.
Annie Laurie, In her new black gown
and her rich taffy-colored hair glowing
In the sunshine, walked across lots
to the Rawson homestead. Any un
kind thoughts of the other owner of
the place were forgotten In the glori
ous air of a perfect October day.
There was a distinct thrill In stepping
on the turf of her own property! The
outbuildings and old barn —now a fine
garage—revealed the utmost care In up
keep; Unde George never allowed his
property to run down for want of paint
and other repairs. Sallle Peters, the
cook, still reigned in the kitchen or
would until the servants had all found
homes. Sallle herself, well pensioned,
yearned to stny on In the sunny, brick
floored kitchen, equipped with all mod
ern conveniences. Sallle was speaking
when Annie Laurie entered the room.
“I tell you. Miss Rawson. If 1
get a good chance to stay on here and
cook victuals for Mr. Jardine. I ain’t
going to lose it! He’s offered me SBC
a month—"
“I will give you ninety, Sallle,” in
terrupted Annie from the door, out
raged at the effrontery of the “Jar
dine boy.”
“Ninety-five.” came In a deep mas
cullne voice from the other doorway
“One hundred.” saW Annie haughtily j
She could see a tall, gray-clad figure
and a dark face above it. Then sh«
looked away.
"My lan’,” giggled Sallie Peters hys
terically. "You children stop that non
sense —1 ain’t worth no hundred dol
lars to nobody, but I’ll take it—und
what’s more, I won't work for either
one of you.” >
"Behave yourself, Sallie,” command
ed Annie severely. “You are a very
good cook indeed, and can act as house
keeper —1 will pay you more than
that—”
Sallle flung herself Into the argu
ment with all the strength and inde
pendence of the newly rich servant.
"I won’t work for neither one of you
—alone —l’ll work for both of you.
Mr. Jardine and Miss Annie, if you'll
excuse me I’ve got a pumpkin pie in
the oven— ’’
But Annie Laurie Rawson had fled
into the garden, now brilliant with the
last flowers of the year. Dahlias, as
ters and chrysanthemums, the flame of
a dying maple tree, the comforting j
presence of a clump of delicate cosmos,
swaying in the breeze, the familiar
rows of boxwood and the ' borders
brown and withered, touched by the
first light frost.
All —all of this must be divided!
She knew that now by the tone of his
voice—the hateful Jardine boy —the
fly in the ointment of her content.
Five minutes later he came suddenly
around the corner of the house and
found her crying, with her arms full
of gorgeous flowers.
He bared his head and regarded her
wistfully from steady brown eyes—
the eyes of the hated Jardine boy who
had worshiped her from afar when
he was twelve years old, who was al
ways whistling Annie Laurie when she
was near, and who displayed his love
with clumsy teasing—Just to touch
that glorious yellow hair, he had
pulled her curls and earned her dis
dain —once In a flame of anger at her
contempt he had tossed some “stick
ers” Into the beloved curls, and they
had achieved much agony for her In
the course of removal (he had called
and apologized)—how she had hated
him, little spitfire, and yet he pre
ferred this hate to utter Indifference I
Now her uncle had in a measure
chained them together as owners of
the homestead —he wanted to do some
thing to dry her tears. His heart was
throbbing in the old way, for he had
never forgotten her. Hi was pledged
to love her always.
“You are crying,” he said suddenly,
gravely.
Annie looked up, her drowned blue
eyes iovely in their woe. “I am not,”
she contradicted flatly.
'“I am sorry about the house and
garden —I did not suspect your uncle
would leave it out of the family—and
I feel like a fly in the ointment of
your happiness —and I am going to re
fuse to accept It. It Is yours alone.”
Annie Laurie Rawson felt ungra
cious as he made this magnanimous of
fer. “It can be made Into a two-fam
ily house,” she said drearily.
“Never—it would spoil the whole
thing. I am going now, and perhaps
some day you may Invite me to come
and see the roses. I helped your uncle
plan the rose garden.”
Without another word he bowed and
went away acroea the shriveled grass.
"Come back,” called Annie Laurie
Rawson, but his handsome head did
not turn; his tall, commanding figure
marched straight toward the gate In
the hedge, opened It, and when It
closed with a loud click o fthe latch
the Jardine boy—the fly In the oint
ment —had gone.
Annie had a lasting Impression of
wistful brown eyes; a fine, clean-cut
face; a trim mustache; very small,
clever-looklng hands and hnmaeulate
attire, yet when Ssllle Peters came
out and asked her If Mr. Jardine wasn’t
the handsomest man she’d ever seen,
Miss Rawson smiled faintly. “Really,
Sallie. I didn’t look at him,” she fibbed.
“It’s a mess, says T, with all due
respect to Mr. George Rawson,’” af
firmed Sallle, “but rbark you my
words. Miss Annie, I’ll not be cook
and housekeeper to either of you—
but I’ll stay forever with both of you
when you get married!’*
“How dare you, Sallle Peters," de
manded Miss Rawson as she, too, fled
through the gate.
“Scat I” giggled Sallle Impudently.
“It’s what your uncle wanted, and
everybody can see It but you two fool
ish lambs! Bet I’ll be making a wed
ding cake for you by next June!”
But the wedding was In April, for
Jimmie's frequent visits to Fenway had
resulted in a truce and then a treaty,
and then a lifelong pledge. The wed
ding took place In the old garden—
and the large cake was SaM'.e's pride.
“It’s six months old —went In and
baked It the very day you two fit In
the garden—and Mr. Jimmie called
himself a ‘fly in the ointment.’ I know
the signs of love.”
“Davy Jones”
The origin of “Davy Jones” Is un
known. A rather laine and dubious
derivation regards It as a compound
of “Duffy," a West Indian negro spirit
name, and JoDah, the prophet of the
Scriptures. The name "Davy Jones,”
it Is said, alluded Jocularly to Jonah’s
unusual adventure with the whale.
In sailor lore Davy Jones Is an evil
spirit of the sea. Sometimes the name
Is applied by sailors to the devil In
general. The ocean as the grave of
men drowned at sea Is called 'Davy
Jones’ locker.”—Detroit News.
Complete Halt
"What is the voting line held up
for?” demanded a local boss.
“That comes of locating the po'ling
place In a millinery shop.”
“What’s wrong?”
