Pa
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
PA was hoam lalt nite after It was
morning. He brought the fun
niest man with him that 1 ever
seen. The man haddent knew Pa bee
foar. he jest met him down town. Pa
is all tl»e time friendly. The minnit
he meets a man tlia't says he is Scotch,
or a man that beelongs to the saim
lodge, or that calm from the saim
part of the country, or any other ex
cuse, Pa is all the time making up
friends with them. Ma toald him onst
that wen he calm hoam on April loth,
Pa’s birthday, with a lot of his friends,
it looked like Noah bringing a lot of
animals into the Ark.
This man that Pa brought was a man
that hired solgers for the army. He
had stopped Pa on the street in front
•>f the army hed-quarters & had toald
Pa that he looked strong enuff to be
a tine solger, & that tickled Pa so
much that he brought the man up to
the house to meet Ma. He was think
ing of joining the army, if he cud git
Ma’s consent. What a chanst!
Wife, sed Pa, I want you to shake
hands with a deer t’rend of mine that
1 jest met tonite. Uncle Sam thinks
so much of him that he lets him pick
out the solgers for his army. To show
you what a fine man Sergent McGann
it. Pa told Ma, & to show you what a
fine judge of other fine men he is, he
chose me for the finest tipe of a solger.
They are having a lot of trubbel over
in the Balkans, as usual, & I thought
maybe thay wud be wanting a fine
man like me. I understand that they
are using the bayonet & sword oaver
thare a grate deal, Pa sed, & that is
whare I shine. Give me a good, sharp
bayonet. Pa sed, or a fine sword, & I
will go through a dozen Turks. Yes,
fifty Turks, Pa sed.
There was a littel Turk calm up here
a few weeks ago, sed Ma, naimed
O’Flaherty, the collector for the ice
company. I dident see you going
through him very’ fast, sed Ma. It
seemed to me as if you had bit off
moar than you cud chew.
Let the ded past bury its ded, sed
Pa. But this re-crootfng sergent is
certainly my pal.
The re-crootlng sergent looked the
part. He was about six feet tall & he
was ail the time standing as if he
wanted to salute sumbody. His. ears
was awful big & he had eyes like a
littel chub wich I caught last week.
Mister McGann, sed Ma,. I have nev
ver had the pleasur of meeting a re
proofing sergent beefoar, & I assure you
that it is a distinct pleshur for me to
meet one now, but tell me, what ewer
made you think that my husband wud
malk a fine solger?
Well, between you & me, madam, sed
Sergent McGann, I newer thought
that the old boy wud malk much of a
solger, but he was all the time dip
ping into his pockets, & as our salary
Is very small I thought I wud humor
him & git a few drinks & cigars at
his expense.
Ton mean at our expense, sed Ma.
J thought it was funny to have you
say my husband wud be a good sol
ser.5 er. Good night, Mister McGann, sed
la. Bolger, come on to bed.

Do Your Christmas Shopping Now, When There Are Six Willing Clerks to Every Good-Tempered Shopper. Don’t Wait Till It’s the Other Way Round
Do your Christmas shopping early! It’s an old, old cry, but it’s a good one. ’Course
there are a few of .those wonder women who began shopping for their Christmas ’way
last spring, about the time the first ruddy-breasted robin was flat-hunting in all the elm
tree tops! But she’s a rare one. There are lots and lots of little women trundling away
merrily in a rocker by the window nearest the street, where they can keep an eye on
JONES By Bertrand Babcock
Ba»ed on George M. Cohan's Play Now
Running In New York.
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT
Before Jackson could express himself
on the feature of industrial life in .Jones
ville, the judge's man. Dave, entered
and handed to the judge five cigars. The
latter looked at them.
"See here, Dave,” he observed, "there
are only five cigars here.”
Jackson had lighted one of the cigars,
while Wallace put a cigarette into bis
mouth. Dave answered Spotswood:
"They won’t give six at the drug store,”
he said. "He says they’re five cents
straight even if you buy a hundred.”
The judge and the two young men
laughed as the judge said contritely:
"I thought maybe you'd think that
they were tenners.”
"I knew mine was a baritone the mo--
ment I lit it," said Jackson.
THE WILL.
As the hired man left, Sam, the judge s
fat son. came, in, and with his hat on
his head, put some papers on the tatjle
before his father.
"That’s your uncle's will," Spotswood
told Jackson. "You can take this copy
along and read it when you have time.”
(Then noting Sammy.) "This is Sammy.
You would hardly know him. would you,
Jackson?”
Boys had always appealed to Broadway
and he smiled on the fat and sullen Sam
my.
"Well. Sammy,” he said, "you haven’t
grown very tall, but you've got pretty
wide.”
"Napoleon Bonaparte was short and
stout," was Sam's glib response. "Well,
what are you laughing at? He was! I
seen his picture.”
Wallace joined in the laughter at Sam’s
expense and the latter turned to him in
stantly as he saw the cigarette hanging
from the advertising man's mouth.
"If you keep on smoking cigarettes,
you’ll weaken your brain,” he said
sharply to Wallace
Tn an Instant his father was on his feet,
saying sternly: "Samuel, don’t you know
better than to say such a thing.”
The boy looked his parent straight In
the eye.
"Well, that's what you told me, pa,
when you caught me behind the barn,”
he mumbled.
Samuel was escorted from the room
while the others laughed over the inci
dent. As they were still bantering the
judge, over the gigantic ambitions of his
son. the doorbell rang and the judge went
to answer it. The moment he had left
the room Broadway turned bruskly to
Wallace.
"You see,' he said, with a trace of bit
terness, "nothing left but the plant I've
got to sell!”
Not entirely did Wallace agree
"Yes. but not at their price. Didn’t
you hear? The plant showed a profit last
year without any advertising.”
"I can't afford to take a chance. This
is Thursday. He said he'd’ have to know
by Saturday noon ”
"That's a bluff.”
"You don't seem to realize the enormity
of the amount,” exclaimed Broadway. :
with visions of lobster palaces. "Twelve j
hundred thousand dollars!”
With a pitcher and two glasses on a ;
tray Mrs. Spotswood interrupted their
conversation. It was "nice cold lemon- '
I ade." She had made It herself and hadn't j
| brought any for the judge, as he didn't
drink it.
Their glasses half emptied, Wallace and
Jackson stared at her.
“1 put a little drop of whisky in it,"
I the exclaimed. "The judge would have a
| lit. if lie knew it was in the house. He's i
■ a temperance crank.” she confided, and
est the room.
When Spotswood returned he explained
I that a stranger had Inquired at the door
«..r Jackson Spotswood had not admit
I :cd that he was Inside, but the man hao
i insited that ho was and said that h<
would not wait for him at the hotel. It
was not Pembroke, as the judge had met
Pembroke.
“It's Mrs. Gerard’s lawyer,” Broadway
whispered in an aside to Wallace.
THE GIRL ARRIVES.
Wallace was sure that it was not, and
that such a supposition was foolish, but
he suggested that lie himself go to the
hotel and see who the man was. He
started to the door to carry out his sug
gestion, when Clara, entered with a de- |
mure young woman clad in a trim tailor- |
made gown and a plain but becoming hat. ■
The girl stood quietly, self-possessed,
while the judge gave Wallace directions
for getting to the hotel he had just left.
Something in Clara Spotswood's face told
him that she would like to point out the
way to him, and so he pretended to mis
understand the directions. Clara at once
volunteered, saying that sh> was going
that way anyway. So Wallace and
Clara set out, the young advertising man
with a manner more Jaunty than he had
worn in months.
The judge led the young woman, who
had remained near the door, toward Jack
son. Her eyes rested upon Broadway's
somewhat worn face, and that youth re
ceived the first shock of bis life of this
unusual character. The eyes seemed to
him to be blue, then they shifted to grax.
Her yellow hair, escaping from either I
side of her hat, framed the eyes in a
background of harmony. Ppon her face
Jackson thought for a moment that there
was a bitterness, a contempt for the
man she was beholding for the first time.
He could not be sure, and when he looked
again there was absolutely nothing in the
face except a grave interest. Beneath
the calm, piercing of those blue-gray
eyes Broadway lowered his own. There
was a sound of drumming in his ears.
The voice of the judge seemed to come
from a great distance, as, forcing him
self into the attention of Broadway, it
broke the strange influence over Jackson.
"This is the little lady I’ve been tell
ing you about.” said the judge, "Miss
Richards. And this gentleman is Mr.
Jones, Josie.”
Through force of a will that sometimes
seemed to be slumbering within him,
Jackson resumed his normal manner, if
not his normal poise.
"Delighted!” he exclaimed, "I've been
hearing a lot about you, Miss Richards.”
Again the girl’s eyes met his with that
strange penetration. Broadway almost
shuddered at the Icy gleam he seemed to
see there.
“And 1 have heard—much—about you,”
she said.
And then a strange thing happened to
Broadway Jones. He saw her very words,
"And 1 have heard—much—about you”—
in his imagination set in the incandes j
cent bulbs of Broadway, so that closing '
iiis eyes he could read them. And about
each word traveled in a coiling, writhing
circle, was a little flash of tire, a little
glowing center of hostility.
WHAT BLUE-GRAY EYES DIO
From this second shock, which ema
nated from the remarkable eyes of this
young woman, Broadway did not recover

as rapii’lj a.c had partially recovered
from rhe first. In a sort of dream he
heard the voice of the judge in the cus
tomary eivfliti“s of Jonesville to the visit
or. Me heard without realizing until later
that the judge lead explained to the girl
that he had sent for her that she might
explain matters at the plant to the new
owner, and that probably she wuiiiun’t
need the books to give Jackson a good
, idea of the fttiancial arrangements.
| During the judge’s remarks to the girl
| she had turned her eyes from Jackson, so
‘ that while he gradually began to become
the old Broadway, still he d’d not dar<-
scan her too closely. Ills complete res
toration to his usual glib point of view
came, however, when Spotswood said:
"The old gentleman told me yon showed
a profit of about forty thousand dollars
last year Is that right?”
The thought of forty thousand dollars
was a tonic to the spendthrift. He heard
in fancy a headwaiter at Speary’s turn
ing away a Chicago millionaire from the
table in the corner by the window, just
because Broadway bad made a certu.n
signal to him.
The girl answered "he judge:
“Oh, it was more than that.”
For the first time since the girl had
looked at him in that strange way Jack
son let his own eyes rest upon her face. |
"oh. It was. was it?” he exclaimed ea
gerly.
The girl did not look at him.
VERY REMARKABLE
Inipersonalij she remarked to the two i
I men:
I ”It was nearer titty thousand if 1 re- ;
member rightly.”
Still watching the girl with a shade of ,
apprehension, Broadway said:
"Well, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”
The eyes, indeed the whole face, were I
turned toward Broadway. Ho was sur
prised to find that the face bore only a
gentle expression, though the low, cfear
tones of iter voice still carried to him an
undercurrent as she .said:
“Why, no; considering the fact that we
were fighting the trust, I think It was
perfectly remarkable."
Jackson found himself seized with the
mad idea of agreeing in all details with
positively everything the owner of those
eyes might have to say. So half in pro
test to himself he returned:
"You do?” But try as he would he
couldn’t keep a tinge of exclamation
I from his tone.
The girl chose, however, to consider his
words as a question.
"Why, yes; don’t you?" she said.
“Yes, I think it’s all right.” returned

Bv BEATRICE FAIRFAX |,
I
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am over seventeen and for the
past two years I have been very .1
popular with both the young men i
and young women with whom I
have become acquainted. I have «
been "keeping company” with a
young man of 22 for the past four
months. I find that I could not
care enough for him to marry him,
as be contemplates, within another
three years. How shall I tell him
that I could never be faithful to If
him? ROSE. j
You told me, whom you do not know: j*
you should have no difficulty in telling ■ i
him. It will be : kindness that Is his ■ ’
due, and 1 hope you will no longer de- s |
lay tlie confession.
THE CONTRARY HEART.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have kept company with a nice II
young man for about six months, |
and until lately have thought a lot I
of him. My mother likes him so
well that she talks about him from', 1
morning until night, so now I really
believe lam beginning to hate him. . I
I try not to feel that way. but I fl
can not help it when I hear it so
often. R. E. G.
Your grief is really amusing, from’an fl
impersonal viewpoint. Yon; mothet fl
likes him and you love him. but you H
are beginning to love him less through I]
hearing so much of her ptais.-s of him. |
It is to your mother I make my re- jj
ply: You do not know the contrar r ®
heart of a maid, my dear woman, ami L
will defeat your heart’s desire unless Ij
yot: curb your enthusiasm.
DEPENDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young lady of eighteen
years.
1. When and iiow should a girl t
ask a man to call upon her?
2. Should she have more frienJs
at her home when he does call?. ‘ is
3. What is the p r oper way of ine.
troducing a girl and man? Should I
you mention his name first?
I. G. T. |
So much depends on the length of |
acquaintance, the attitude of the girl’s |
parents, tier environment, etc., that no |
rule has ever been known to fit all |
cases.
1. If her parents approve, she may |
ask him to call some evening. And it I
would be proper to give him the invita- |
tion when he lias shown by his atten
tions that he cares for it.
2. That is optional with the girl. He
may enjoy meeting others on his first
call, but if lie cares, for her he prefers
to see her alone.
3. Always mention the lady’s name
first.
