Running
R
Away From §
b By ' 7l
§ Bob. erum rowier. 1
Copyrighited, 1903, by Associated §
Literary Press, b
With its expiring chug Janet steered
the runabout into a conveunient lang, .
puttered over it a bit, then dropped all|
useless effort to revitalize it. How '
many miles sne was {rom her destina
tion or her home she had no idea. It*
mattered little whether it was oue or
a thousand, she was anchored to stay
as far as'the machine was concemed.\,l
She had set out with more lmsto'"
than discretion and had left undone
things that should have been done in '
preparation for so long a run; ulsq she '
bhad neglected to take along . other
things that should have been taken in |
case of the emergency which wus sureii
to present itself, : g ]
i Emergency without recourse is never
pleasant. Janet felt it almost tragle..
! It portended the failure of her under
itaking, intended to impress and sub-i
‘due her family and--some others. Was 1
It to end in this silly little fiasco?
Never! |
~ She set her teeth with determination
and went down the road to recon
noiter. Nothing in sight either way.
She climbed a large rock pile at the
roadside and gazed long and intently
I the direction of her destination, as
If to materialize in the near (llstmxcc"l
the factory village whence she nad
meant to speed away on the prosaie l
Lut reliable railway. |
She finally persuaded bherself that |
she perceived spires and chimneys
upon the blank horizon and with more |
determination returned to the car, |
gathered up her suit case, lunch box,
raincoat and umbrella and set out to
tinish the journer with her small, fash
icuably shod feet. 7
Panting under her load, she eventu
ally reached the rock pile, rested ber
remonstrating, aching little person a
half nour and meekly, with great dis
gust, plodded back to the runabout as
to a city of refuge. . .ot
porting it by main strength, like a hod
carrier. .
She eouid abandon the treacherous
ear, but not her plumage. One cannot
make a creditable entrance into a
‘strange country withaut guitable
adornment, and she felt that her fu
ture largely depended upou the im.
pression her unknown relatives recefv
ed of her at meeting.
Therefore she resigned aerself to
await the passing of a good Samarl
tan. hoping devoutly he would be pos-[
gessed of a large touring car and tow
her into port. I
This was entirely a matter of
chance, thongh, with the probabilities
against it, as she had purposely chosen
an unfrequented way to avoid the
auto party she had deserted.
She kicked her hecls and reflected
upon her position with anger and self
pity. Bob would go, of course, in his
big new machine, and equally, of
course, he would go for her—he covld
not avold fthat—in spite of her em
phatic refusal to accompany him.
Her refusal counted for little, or his
reluctance either, with hoth familles
continually flinging them at each other
in the most barefaced manner,
Her father had come home beaming
the night before and informed her that
Bob would be on hand, as he had
taken pains to explain that she (Janet)
was expecting him, as usual, the re
fusal being a mere bit of feminine
coquetry, and her mother had laugh
Ingly added that she had met the
young fellow that afternoon looking
very despondent and had cheered him
up by remarking that Janet never
meant half she said and would be dis
appointed if he falled to come for her.
And, to crown all, Bob’s mother had
ruu In and assured her—as if she de
manded such assurance—-that Bob
would be around early, as she had re
minded him that Janet expected him
to take her, ag usual,
“‘As usual’” Jane quoted vindic
tively. “The poor fellow counldn’t get |
rid of me if he tried, as I am sure he |
has sometimes!” She was not at all |
sure of this. “They'd push us to the !
very altar without a word from either
of us as to willingness, and if 1 ob
jected and Bob hung back they'd ‘ex
plain’ and ‘assure’ and force me upon
bim. T just had to run away to re
lleve him, Though I haven't got far
yet—l . will! Some one will come
along.” |
SBome one did a few moments later— |
a farmer, going the wrong way, with
a hayrack and a large curiosity con- |
cerning the machine, which he grat- |
ified by peering and prying until Ja- |
net was tempted to bid him “mind
pis own business.” He proceeded todo
that same, remarking that he wa#
“mighty glad to see one o the dad
blamed things broke down; they'd
skeered his hosses often enough.” He
feparted, contorting with merriment
at her predicament, and it was not ex
actly a blessing Janet sent after him,
Came next a barefooted boy, who
stared for an unwinking five minutes,

'the village, and who alse passed on
exclaiming audibly that ~“ne di.at
know thewn skootin’, tootin' things got
tired.”
Then appaared, headed villageward,
a young man with a lumber wagon
and a praneing team, which lost nerve
at the sight of the shining monster
and Janet signaling wildly and tore
off In a whirl, the driver hurling male
dlctions over hfs shoulder at the
“smarty city folks for plaring tricks.”
MAs {f any one would be idiotic
enough to stop here for the poor spuri
| of setting off his horses,” Janet mused
scornfully, watching the vanishing
‘cloud of dust. “If | was only in that
’wngon with my things! DBut I expect
I'd be bumped precty hard.”
} A man on horscback from the little
tovrn teld her civilly that if she was
}there when he went back he'd send
3 some one cut for her, though it might
be dark and it would cost her constd
erable,
5 ~ “So ‘much, maybe, that U'd not have
; enough left for my fare and just have
10 sneak back home. You wretched

and cried heartily.
[ After which she feit better, wiped

' couldn’t have been more aston
ighed at seeing a =host,” he sald as he
deaped out and came to her. “I sup
posed”— e stopped with an embar
rassed glance at her sulky face.
“It doesn’t matter what you or any
one else ‘supposed,” she snapped.
“You are not going to interfere with
l’-‘.@,t"
“I ean’t {magine you are sitting here
for pleasure,” he caid stiffty. “I beg
your pardon, you have reason fcr of.-
femse. 1 will try and not add to it.” ‘
he marched toward DLis car. Janet
stared; That was unlfte Bob, who
was net resentful. She did not under
stand, but could not be left so.
“I will be preatly obliged 1f you will
see what ails this thing and start it
on,” she requested formally,
He returned at once and examined it
thoroughly. “I think it will have to
‘be towed to a shop,” he said finally,
“Very well. I was going to Eldon.
I ¢an wait untfl gome one passes who
will haul me In,” Janet replied.
“I am not going to leave you like
this!” he exclaimed. “Of course I'll
tow you wherever you wish.”
“Thank you. I will pay you for your
trouble.”
He flushed angrily and started off,
but turned back, exploding: “Look here,
Janet, I know It was a beastly thing
to do! I see now I had no husiness
providing a substitute, 1 apologlze
humbly. Cousin ITal was transported
at the progpect of escorting you, and |
I suppose you annihilated the poor fel- ‘
low. Pour your vials upon me, but be
lieve my apology is sincere.” ‘
80 he had tried to foist her upon an- |
other! Janet was furious. This was
the first she had known of it, having
stolen away early. “I am not in the
least to blame for having burdened
you 80 often,” she cried. “I have re
#lsted enough uselessly! 1 am deter
mined it shall not happen again. You
can be perfectly sure of that!”
“I have never found you burdensome |
in"— he began. |
“Oh, you must gay that, of course,” |
the jeered. |
He regarded her earnestly. “I am en. |
tirely sincere when I say that your |
company would have bheen my greatest |
delight 1f T could have felt.that you be- |
stowed 1t upon me freely, without :
pressure from others. Pressure was |
80 glaring this time that to rid you of [
mygelf I brol:e all the laws of polite |
convention this morning and was tak- ‘
ing myself off for good.”
A great light suddenly turned Janet's |
world to a paradise of joy. “Running |
away from me?’ she inquired, dim- '
pling, much to his surprise. .
“Running away from the families”
he saild fiercely. “They’'ve spoiled all
chanee I might have had with you, |
and Pm pulling out of i, but I'm not |
glving you up, remember. 1 mean to |
try to win you when they learn”— :
He was interrupted by shricks of |
laughter. Janet laughed till she was |
breathless, “Oh, Bob, Bob! I'm run
ning away tco! I'm ‘pulling out of ¢
for the same reason, or was till this
thing gave eut”

‘A hope in the heart through toiling

The valleys of slumberland leading

A rose on her cheek in the morning,

Ah! the ways are fair for the sowing
aud the blossoms gleaming bright,
A suength for the hands and the
spirit a guide for the weary feet,
With life so full of the wonder that
love has made so sweet,
A smile on her face in the mnrning,i

And, so she hatn lifted the shadows‘

A cheer for the strife and the strug |
