lopin’ up town for every nfght the Lord
sends?"”
‘““Why, she comes to see me,” repliad
sister, as much amazed as amused,
Here Miss Becky transferred her pipe
from her mouth to her trembling hands,
closed her eyes, and began to nod her
head emphatically. “Sally may tell yeu
that,” she said, solemnly, “and you may
believe 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,’” satd
Miss Becky, reaching over and touching
Migs Polly on the knee,
“Don’t she, though!"' exclaimed Miss
l Polly. '
I was curious to know how Mrs. Be
|ghears would cempose this senseless
fqunrrel; but 't was the easiest thing in
the world. She placed her hands over
her face, sighed deeply, and turned to
Sister Jane wits an air too solemn to
be duplicated on the stage.
“Jane,” said she, “there's a vacant
room at your house. lU's not a big
room, but it's big enocugh for me. Ul
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
gee, 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 thelr tears
had meant ‘any!hlng more than the
tears of children mean, 1 should have
said the matter up against Mrs. Be
shears in my mind; but she soothed
them at once, and in a minute they were
laughing as blithely as they had been
erying bitterly, and with no more ex
ceuse in one case than in the other. So
that when sister Jane and myfifl?’bnde
them good-bye on that particular occa
sion, 1 carried away a better opinion
of Mrs. Beshears than I had ever had
before. My first impressions of her,
formed long ago, were not of the best,
Out of sight and hearing of her two
sisters she had a hectoring way, and |
think it was her naturai way. Her
voice was harsh, and she had a way of
saying things that left a sting. Bat,
after the incident I have related, I was
no longer surprised that Tommy Tin
king, 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 friendly touch. 1 knew, too, that when
she had put her aged and decrepit chil
dren to bed the impulse to escape from
her surroundings, by visiting sister Jane
was more than she could resist; and so
it happened that her cumrny came to
be as agreeable to me at last as it had
been {o sister Jane from the first.
She always called me Willlams, hav-
Ing known me from a child, and seemed
to keep 4 watehful eve on my moods,
for when, as sometimes happened, 1 re
mained in my own, she would say at
rrt«-haly the right momernt: “Well, Wil
lam. you can go_and do vour moping
by yourself. Jane Wad | have some mat
ters that we want to talk about,' This
took from me the excuse of politeness
rnd sent me off whether or no, for which
was duly grateful. Many a time 1
have listenod and waited for sister Jane
and Mrs, Beshears to lower their volces
in lolkln‘ over these confidential “mat
ters. "’ ut lh:{. kept right on in the
old familinr strain, and in this way ‘

HE 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
where that busy little mother passed back and forth, when her skirts
Jjust touched the round of her boy-like knees, and while she industri
ously pushed her hair back as tight as an onion-gkin with a “back
comb,” 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 cried aloud: “Well, de-e-ead! Didn't
yon 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, apd her skirts edged down and down, 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 was 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-eeesss! she knows more abont geography
now than in those Miss Statistics days. For then Germany was a green
ish-yellow on the map and France was a red country, and so was Eng
land, and [ltaly, 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 speak, 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
eyes and Seoteh coloring. He went thromgh 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
yon KNOW it is! He arrived in‘France and fought and lived there;
now France is not a “red” country—it is just the tantalizing, 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. Italy, Belgium, Russia; he was long enough over to have
been in them all! Tlfaly is no longer a “boot,” but a dusky woman in
vivid green and coral: sloe-eyed and slow-eyed, pomegranite lipped,
golden skinned.
“He MUST have seen a million of her—or worse—only one or twe,
not in the getup they wear when they come over here—OUß clothes
that just naturally put their glowing Southern light out!” Belgium is
a blonde, carnation-mouthed, honey-haired, round-cheeked maid in a
tight snow cap tied under a rosy chin, passing slowly by, looking with

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 can make them.”
“l am glad,” Arthur sneered, “that
you appreciate that you, not she,
should explain.” :
“And 1 decline to explain!” Tom
burst forth, his face flushing with
anger. “Unless Mildred wishes me
to.”
“I don't wish you to!" Mildred de
clared. “It's nobody's business but
yours and mine!"”
“Mildred!” Honora interposed. “Be
quiet! You do not know what you
are saving.”
“l 1 do know!"” the younger girl re
torted. "I am saying that 1 have a
right to do gs I please, and Tom had
a right to drink with me, too.”
“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 muttgred. Then, as
Tom stepped threateningiy toward
him—“ Yes, I mean that! If you
want to resent it, 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 strike a man in
uniform.”
Chandler paled slightly, “We are
making much out of nothing, Bruce,
and both are talking hastily and fool
-Ishly”—his tone changing from anser
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 leaving tomorrow.
“Then, simply because we are old
friends, I kissed Hor on the cheek—as
' would have kissed my sister. That
is the extent of my offense. You may
take this as an apology if you wish.
Had I known you were looking on, |
would have done the same thing. Only
then, perhaps, 1 would have asked
your, permission."
“But,” Mildred broke in ghirlly,
“Arthur was careful to come in so
softly that we did not know he was
looking on! He was spying—he and
Honora!"
“1 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 anybidy. 1
opened the door with my latchkey. T
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
Oceur to me that you were coming
here after that.” ’

that made Mildred wonder with whom
Tom had been. But the man was not
going to wait for any question to be
asked. .
“Good-night, all!” he said, As Mil
dred held out her hand, he looked at
Arthur,
“You have no objection to my shak
ing hands with yeur fiancee, Bruce,
have you?’ he said with elaborate
politeness,
Arthur did not speak. His eyes
were expressloniess as if ho, 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 not move until the
front door had closed behind the de
parting visitor.
Katie's footsteps sounded en the
stairs coming down from Mrs, Hig
gins' 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 crying!” she ordered, for
Mildred had begun to sob hysterieal
ly. ‘“There is enough to ery about,
goodness knows! But you are net
the one to be considered just now.”
~ "“Oh, no!” Mildred exclaimed, her
anger drying her tears. "l 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 ill, 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 Is as sicic
as you people say he 1s?”
“His father dled two hours ago.”
' The words were said in a low
voice, but Mildred started as If sha
had been struck by a whip,
“Dead!" she gasped. "Bel.d!"
“Yes,” Honora went on merciless
ly. “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, Fer the
same reason he would not let me tel
ephone you, Instead, he waited un
til Mrs, Bruee's eousin arrived to stay
with her for a few hours, then he
came here to break the news to you
gently., That is why we came in so
softly. Arthur did net want te stars
tle you.”
