‘ “Why, she comes to see me,” repliad
sister, as much amazed as amused.
Mere Miss Becky transferred her plpe
from her mouth to her trembling hands,
closed her eyes, and began to nod her
head emphatically. “Sally may tell you
that,” she said, solemnly, “and you may
belteve it; but she can’t fool us, and
she won't git narry thrip of our money.”
“Much money you've got!” exclaimed
Mrs. Beshears, with kindly sarcasm,
“She thinks she's mighty smart,” said
Miss Becky, reaching over and touching
Miss Polly on the knee.
“Don't she, though!”' exclaimed Miss
Polly.
1 was curious to know how Mrs. Be
shears would compose this senseless
quarrel; but 't was the easiest thing in
the W(:ild. &he placed her hands over
her sack, sighed deeply, and turned to
Sister Jane with an air too solemn to
be duplicated on the stage,
“Jane,” said sha, “there’'s a vacant
room at your house. It's not a big
room, but it's big epough for me. I'll
just send my things up there and come
along myself after supper. As I'm not
wanted here, I'll go with you. We'll
see, then, if money will wake the nig
gers in the morning, and make Polly's
and Becky's coffee and sweeten it. There
too much money here for me”
By this time Miss Polly and Miss
Becky were sobbing, and if their tears
had meant anything more than the
tears of children mean, | should have
laid the matter up against Mrs. Be
shears in my mind; but she soothed
them at onece, and in a minute they were
laughing as blithely as they had been
erying bitterly, and with no more ex
cuse in one cage than in the other, So
that when sister Jane and myself bade
them good-bye on that particular ocea
sion, | carvied away u betier opinion
of Mra, Beshears than | had ever had
before. My frst tmpressions of her,
formed long ugo, were not of the best,
Out bf sight and hearing of her two
sisters she had a hectoring way, and 1
think it was her naturai wad. Her
voice was harsh, and she had a way of
saying things that left a sting. But,
after the incident I have related, 1 was
no longer surprised that Tommy Tin.
kins, the cat, should be so anxious to
run and greet her when she came, his
tall carried as erect as a battle-flag,
and his back curved upward to meet the
hand that was always ready to give him
a friendiy touch. 1 knew. too, that when
she had put her aged and decrepit chil
dren to bed the impulse to escape from
her -urmm\dhkn. by visiting sister Jane
was more than she could resist; and so
it happened that her rum‘mny Ccame to
be as agreeable to me at last as it had
been to sister Jane from the first.
She always called me Willlams, hav.
ing known me from a child, and seemed
to Keep a watchful eye on my moods,
for when, as sometimes happened, | re
mained in my own, she would u(vnt
ymueb the right moment: “Well, Wil
fam, you can go and Jdo your moping
by yourself. Jane and | have some mat
ters that we want (o talk about.” This
took from me the excuse of politeness
and sent me off whether or no, for which
1 was duly grateful. Many a time 1
have listened and walted for sister Jane
and Mrs, Beshears to lower their voices
in lulkin,g over these confidential “mat

old famillar strain, and in this way 1

HI girl he left behind him when he went away to war, “just nat-
T urally his last worl’ wah!"” once knew a glib bit about geography.
She sat on the tubs of her mother's kitchen close to the place
whera that busy little mother passed back and forth, when her skirts
Just touched the round of her boy-like knees, and while she industri
ously pushed her hair back as tight as an onion-skin with a “back
tomb, she dumbfounded her amazed family with information about
the capitals of the world and the folks in them, and how many there
were.
She examined her chagrined and ignorant father on the length of
the River Amazon, and when he couldn’t answer how the natives were
able to get their motorboats up to Lake Titicaca, on the top of a vol
cano, and whizz about thereon, she eried aloud: “Well, de-e-ead! Didn't
you ever go to SCHOOL?” She was bursting and cracking with infor
mation about the world she lived in until the heads of her family spun.
Years crept by, and her skirts edged down and dpwn, and she
pulled her hair down over her forehead instead of swiping it back off
it—and a lover came along. And during this time she wag an ignorant
young American and forgot the River Amazon,” only that boa-constric
tors lived on it! Information on this whirling, warm and cold, beautiful
and terrible little world vanished into the limbo of pale-blue back
combs and a Prince Charming who just had to have a certain color hair
and eyes when he came along or she couldn’t love him! Nevertheless,
and, oh, my, and oh, ye-eye-ecesss! she knows more about geography
now than in those Miss Statistics days. For then Germany was a green
ish-yellow on the map and France was a red eountry, and so was Eng
land, and Italy, and Belgium was Roman gold. NOW they are more
than that.
Besides the 'stonishing way that France has drawn near across the
ocean and has become “over there,” and England is the land of the
language we gpeak, and Germany is a place she's goin' to go around
carefully when she goes traveling some time, and Italy is our brother
we fought beside, there's one very important thing they mean to her.
Her lover went over with a Canadian girl, with cornflower-blue
eves and Scotch coloring. -He went through England; and everybody
knows that the English girl's eyes are deep and blue, and her hair soft
and long, -and her complexion so peachy that it doesn't look real—only
you KNOW it is! He arrived in France and fought and lived there;
now France is not a “red’ country—it is just the tamtalizing, chie,
piquant face of a smiling girl with a tipped-nose, odd cheeks, winsome
eyes and chin, slim little trotting ankles, and an air about her clothes
and manner. [taly, Belgium, Russia; he was long enough over to have
been in them all! [ltaly is no longer a “boot,” but a dusky woman in

a blonde, carnation-mouthed, honey-haired. round-cheeked maid in a
tight snow cap tied under a rvosy chin, passing slowly by, looking with
round and intent eves at the straight tan soldier—who is a stranger--a
far ally--with woman eves- therefore admiring ones. And, maybe, he

RUSSIA! Once it was huge and many colored, and mean wolves

who hasn’'t heard of the fascinating Russfan! She smiles her strange

Miss “Girl-he-left-behind-him™ shudders exquisitely! She feels very
small and young-ladyish and bread-and-butterish, and “yes, SIMPLE,”

And while she twirls the globe to find this last country he served in
before coming down on the ocean trail for home—she sees this land
and forgets even “Bolshevik"—sees only an old, lovely face so different
from our own-the “sculptor's” face—high-cheeked, whose smile is
Mona Lisa's to us who do not understand her, mystery-eved, broad
browed, a dark jewel set in snow and white fur, a Madonna and a siren.

The Heart Breaker
A LOVE STORY OF TODAY
By Virginia Terhune Van De
Water.
(Copyright, 1919, Star Company.)
{LDRED sprang away from
M Tom so suddenly that she
knocked the bottle of peach
brandy from the table to the floor.
Mechanically, Candler started to
pick it up. Before he could stoop to
do so, Arthur Bruce was at his side.
His face was white; his eyes flashed.
“What does this mean?” he de
manded.
Mildred stepped in between the two
men. “It doesn't mean anything!”
she exclaimed, trying to laugh. “Ex
cept that we were drinking Tom's
health because he is going away to
morrow, and”——
Tom interrupted her. “Wait, please,
Mildred, If there are any explana
tions I ean make them.”
“l am glad,” Arthur sneered, “that
you appreciate that you, not sghe,
should explain.”
“And 1 decline to explain!" Tom
burst forth, his face flushing wllh‘
anger, “Unless Mildred wigshes me
to.”
“I don’t wish you to!"” Mildred de
clared. “It's nobody’'s business but
yours and mine!"
“Mildred!” Honora interposed. “Ba |
quiet! You do not know what you
are saying.”
“I do know!"” the younzer girl re
torted. *“lI am saying that I have a!
vight to do ay 1 please, and Tom had
a right to drink with me, t 00.”
“Kven though he wears the uniform
of the United States?”” Arthur ques
tioned dryly. But words were ad
dressed to the man, not to the girl.
“It is interesting,” Tom comment
ed, “to see how the uniform is re
spected by a man who is not willing
to wear it!"
The taunt cut, and Bruce winced.
“You cur!” he muttered. Then, as
Tom stepped threateningly toward
him—" Yes, 1 mean that! If you
want to resent il, we will settle the
score when the ladies have left us
alone, Unless,” with a harsh laugh,
“you wish to take refuge behind the
law forbidding one to sirike a man in
uniform.”
Chandler paled slightly. “We are
making much out of nothing, Bruce,
and both are talking hastily and fool
whly”~his tone changing from anger
to conciliation, “You do not under
stand the situation. 1 did, for the
‘moment, forget that a soldier must
not drink, and I took a tiny glass of
‘harmless cordial with Mildred—just
as a little farewell ceremony-—for 1
am leayving tomorrow,
“Then, simply because we are old
friends, 1 kissed her on the cheek--as
I would have kissed my sister. That
is the extent of my offense, You may
take this as an apology if you wish.
Had 1 known you were looking on, |
would have done the same thing. Only
then, perhaps, 1 would have asked
your permission,”
“But,” Mildred broke in shirlly,
“Arthur was careful to come in so
softly that we did not know he was
‘looking on! He was spying—he and
Honora!"
“I am going now.” Tom's voice was
calm and cool.
“Wait a moment,” Honora com
manded, “We did not come in with
any desire of spying on anybody, I
opened the door with my latchkey. I
supposed Mildred was upstairs with
Mrs. Higgins. 1 had seen you, Mr
Chandler, only a few hours ago, driv
ing with—a friend—and it did not
occur to me that you were coming
here after that.”
There was a menace in Res

that made Mildred wonder with whom
Tom had been. But the man was not
going o wailt for any question to be
asked.
“Good-night, all!” he said. As Mil
dred heid out her hand, he loosed at
Arthur,
“You have no objection to my shak
ing hands with your nancee, bruce,
have you?’ he sala witn elaborate
politeness.
Arthur did not speak. His eyes
were expressionless as if he did not
hear, His look made Mildred un
comfortable,
“Good-bye,” she murmured te Tom,
adding in a whisper: “Send me your
address—if it changes.”
A quick pressure of her hand was
the only answer,
The trio did net move until the
front door had clesed behind the de
parting visitor.
Katie's footsteps sounded en the
stairs coming down from Mrs. Hig
ging' room. Honora snatched up the
bottle of peach brandy and thrust it
and the glasses-—still unwashed—into
the sideboard.
Then, as Katie entered the room,
Honora greeted her, asked about Mrs,
Higgins' condition and went on into
the library, Arthur and Mildred fol
lowing her dumbly,
Here she closed the door and
turned to her sister.
“Stop erying!” she ordered, for
Miidred had begun to sob hysterieal
ly. “There is enough to ory about,
goodness knows! But you are net
the one to be considered just now.”
“Oh, no!" Mildred exclaimed, her
anger drying her tears, 1 suppose
not! You never have any sympathy
for me, no matter how hard things
are for me!
“You can pity Arthur because his
father's iil, yet you can’t pity me
when Arthur gets angry with me.
Why is he here, anyway? Why didn't
he stay at home if his father ls as sick
as you people say he 1s?”
“His father died two hours ago.”
' The words were sald in a low
volee, but Mildred started as If sho
had been struck by a whip,
“Dead!” she gasped. “Dead!”
“Yes,” Honora went on merciless-
Iv.” “And In spite of all Arthur's
grief and need of your sympathy he,
would not send for you, He sald it
would be too hard for you, For the
same reason he would not let me tel
ephone you, Instead, he waited un
til Mre. Bruce's cousin arrived to stay
with her for a few heurs, then he
came here to break the news to yeu
gently. That is why we came in so
softly. Arthur did not want to star
tle you."
