WEST & DUKES PEARSON, GEORGIA Patronize Tribune Advertisers PEARSON TRIBUNE, NOVEMBER 10,1917 Cinderella Without the Ball By George Haskell (Copyright, 1817, by W. G. Chapman.) “Oh, come on Em! It’s going to be a dandy party!” The girl looking over the fence was urging another who paused a moment in the business of hanging clothes on the line to answer: “I can’t Grace— but Dora Is going.” “Yes, Dora's always ‘going,’ and you're staying -staying home, and do ing the work.” “Oh, well, I’m trying to get a dress made. When it's done, I’ll be ‘going.’ ” Emily laughed cheerfully, gave a towel a vigorous snap, and hung it on the line. She was thin and rather color less, but her hair scintillated in the shifting sunlight and had copper and gold glints. The fence of the backyard in the village street was not too high for those who passed to look over, hut Emily .was not ashamed of her homely work, they were not able to hire it done, her mother hail never been used to hard labor of any kind, and as for her younger sister, Dora, it was quite out of the question to think of her do ing the family wash. Dora was eight years younger than Emily, very pretty, very self-willed, and very sellish. The last two traits were probably owing to the spoiling she had received from both mother and sister. Two children Emily and Dora had died, and Dora was the apple of her mother’s eye. She had lived in luxury, and when the crash had come, followed soon by the death of her husband, she hud taken the lltiie that brought in a very slender income, and had settled down to live upon it with no idea of trying to in crease it with any labor of her own. She was of the helpless, unthinking kind who will sometime, somewhere, have to experience a heavy Jolt to awaken them to the purpose of their being here on this terrestrial globe. When Emily was seventeen she had taken up the burden of attempting to better conditions, and make the little income go further by doing the heavy ||| “I Knew You Are Worth All the Doras in Creation.” work that a woman had been paid to do. Next she saved dressmaking bills by making her own clothes, and even tually those of her mother and sister. It is always the people who are willing who are allowed to carry the burdens of those who are not. There has been known, however, to be such a thing ns “the lust straw.” But Emily gave no indications of the last straw till a cheery voice hailed her over the fence some minutes after her girl friend had passed on. A pair of merry eyes belonging to a tanned, honest face, not especially handsome, but invitingly reliable, smiled at her under the raised hat. Emily embar rassed and rather miserable at the thought of her appearance in the old, faded working garb, could only stam mer out: “Oh! Mr. Hale!” “You'll be there tonight at the Ston er party, won’t you?” he asked. "No. I tliiuk not. But my sister’s going.” “Why don’t you go?” he persisted. Emily thought she even noticed a tinge of disappointment in the tone. She pushed a wet sheet along on the line to better see his face, and said: “Well I—l can’t explain just now, but I can't go.” She fqjt that any plea of ill health would be slightly incongruous with her vigorous handling of the week’s wash. Site could not teil him the real rea son, and with an expression of regret Hale passed on. The wet towel hung limply in her hand, and the wind catch ing an unfastened sheet, it slid to the ground unnoticed by the girl. Youth, the desire for companionship, the call of the heart were all having their say. Their demand was insistent. They did not even ask why they should be de nied. Emily had met Hale only two or three times, but she had been strongly attracted to him. When her mother called from the doorway, and she saw the sheet on the ground she had sud denly a glimmering realization that he meant more to her than she had sup posed. In the cool sitting room Emily drop ped down on a chair. “I wonder if that bine voile would look well enough for me to’ wear to night,” she said. Her sister Dora looked np from the novel she was reading, comfortably stretched out on a couch. “Oh Em, that old thing!” she ex claimed in a distressed tone. “Emily! you would disgrace the family in that dress!” chimed in the mother from her corner by the window where some stockings were receiving some desultory darning. This aspect of the case had not be fore occurred to Emily, but she at once saw the force of the argument. “I thought I might freshen it up a bit,” she answered apologetically. “But if yot§> think it looks so shabby, why I’ll just let It go.” “You must get at your clothes dear, and fix up something to wear, so that you’ll be ready for the next party.” Emily made no answer. She knew that the time for getting at her own wardrobe was not likely to come very soon with all the sewing for her moth er and sister that was already laid out for her. She arose a trifle wearily, and went into the kitchen to prepare tlie meal. Dora came home from the party flushed and excited with the “dandy time” she had had. Howard Hale had danced with her more than with any other girl; and both women saw quite plainly that something like a romance lmd begun under their own roof. To the elder sister the knowledge came with a chilling, benumbing weight. She tried to set it aside, and be glad of the other’s happiness, but her own heart cried out in revolt. She saw be fore her a battle to be fought to gain the victory of renunciation. After Hale’s first call at which eti quette required the presence of the family, Emily invariably left the field clear for her sister, who had intimated that she wished this. Emily was find ing the battle with herself an unusual ly hard one. The more deeply she found she loved this man, the more strongly came the temptation to re volt ; but her mother was so pleased, and her sister so happy how could she reveal her feelings. Besides Hale evi dently loved her sister, and had not even thought of her, so she hid all evidences of the struggle under a quiet exterior. One evening Hale came when Dorn was out, as she had not expected him. Emily met him with the Information. After a few minutes talk he said: “Will you answer me frankly, truth fully one thing?” In surprise she agreed to his re quest. "Why do you always fly from me ns though I were a pestilence?” he asked. “Why—why, you come to see my sis ter —” “No. T don’t,” he broke in. “I come to see you! Don’t you think I know you are worth all the Doras in crea tion. You're courageous, unselfish lit tie woman!” > At this Emily quite broke down, sobbing out something rather unintel ligible. But holding her close against his heart, he seemed to understand. JUST WHAT CREATES ECHO Under Proper Conditions Any Kind of a Sound Wave Will Be Effec tively Reproduced. An echo Is caused when the waves of air which you create when you shout are thrown back again when they are stopped by something they en counter aud are turned back without changing their shape. Any kind of a sound wave will make an echo in this way. You see, you can have no sound of nny kind without sound waves. You could not make a sound if there were no air. Now, when you shout, you start a series of sound waves that go out from you in every direction and they spread away from you in circles just like the rings or ripple that are caused when yon drop a stone into a pool of water. You can prove this to yourself easily by having one, two, three or more of your friends stand around you in a large circle. You can place them as far away from you as your shout can be heard if you wish. When you shout, each of your friends will hear the shout at the same time, provided, of course, they are at equal distance from you. Sometimes these sound waves as they go away from you in circles strike objects that turn the waves back un broken just as they came to them. The waves will bounce back just like a rub ber ball from a wall against which it has been thrown and this is the echo. However, some things that the sound waves strike break up these waves en tirely and others partially. No doubt you have sometimes no ticed when you shout you hear a dis tinct echo and that at other times, standing in the same place, you can not hear any echo, although you shout in the same way. This is explained by the fact that at times conditions of the air are such that no echo Is pro duced while at other times a perfect echo results.—Book of Wonders. No Time for Debate. Alfred —Please don’t put me off any longer. Mary. Will you marry me? Mary Alfred. I hardly know, whether I love you well enough or not. Besides Alfred (looking at his watch) —Mary, the last train is due in just three min utes. Yes or Mary—Yes, Alfred. 7 PROGRAM 'P OF _ “Al iHartin’a GJmmtrtj A COMEDY IN FIVE ACTS At £djiuil Auditorium Night, A'ourmbrr lßtb AT EIGHT O'CLOCK CAST OF CHARACTERS Al .Martin Willie Browning Marie Martin Marie Roberts Sam Johnson Simon Davis Tom Briggs Lewis Sears Buck Friend lohn James Rube Hutchins Autliur Simians Harold Hawley Lonnie Pearson Robert Corey Ivey Mi Neal Bess Edna Meeks Anna Willard Grifleth Mrs. Blake Ruth Grifleth Mrs. Smith Doris Dickerson Mrs, Hawkins Eva Tillman Miss Simons Etta White u liter Cor iner Padriek bus Risley Charlie Mathews Jerry Clea Metis Si Newcomb Win.
