Nest Building Time
By LAURA R. MONTGOMERY
((§), 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Doris looked noxiously at the cheap
alnnu-cloek as she shrugged into the
thin Jacket. “I wonder,” she blushed
a little as she calculated tile time re
quired to walk to the park, “11 Dick
will he waiting?”
Doris had felt much more at home
In the crowded city since her chance
meeting with her old friend. Dick had
left the village years before she had
taken her courage In her hand and
made the plunge, and she felt sure
that he had already gained success,
although'lie did not mention it.
He dressed very well and had a
competent, up-to-the-minute air of af
fluence. She recklessly squeezed the
package of sandwiches she had iSude
front the remnants of her hurried
breakfast cooked over the gas-llarne
so that she could fit it into her old
muff. She would have hated to have
hud Dick guess that she carried her
luncheon.
"Oh, Miss Weeks,” the landlady’s
voice hailed her as she opened the
front door, “here’s a letter I forgot to
give you lust night, must have come
while you were away.”
Doris had been home since the pre
vious Wednesday. Her mother had
been 111 and the family had wired her,
but the Illness had been less serious
than they had feared anil Doris had
returned to the city Sunday night to
be In readiness for her work Mon
day morning.
Taking the letter she Inserted her
thumb under the flap us she went
down the tall steps of the dingy, old
fashioned house. The envelope bore
the name of Grlhsy & Son, and her
heart pounded ns she read it; that was
the firm that employed her. "They
will keep me n week longer to give
me time to look about for something
else,” she murmured, gloomily, “and
every firm Is cutting down expenses
and laying off people.”
At the entrance to the park she
stopped doubtfully. “I’d hate to have
him know I’ve lost my Job,” she re-
—
All the Gayety Left Her Face.
fleeted, but she walked on again ns
she saw the familiar gray overcoat
hurrying toward her.
"Hello, Doris, In a big hurry?” be
greeted.
She shook her head.
“Well, I'm not. I’ve thrown up my
Job. 1 only came out here on the
chance of seeing you. Dad wants me
hack In Franklin, and I’m going.
There isn’t anything to this city life;
every cent goes out for living, and
that living Is a mighty dreary affair.
Dull hack room In a hoarding house,
with cold, scrappy meals. Gee, I’ll be
glad to taste some real food again.
Remember those lemon layer-cakes
you used to make? All thick with
white Icing on top?”
“But 1 thought you were such a
success," she looked significantly at
his well-made clothes and shining
shoes.
“I’ll do better back home, hut—
he paused and studied her downcast
face, “I’ve been thinking of going hack
for some time, but when I found you
were In town I ktnda hated to go.”
Absently Dick dropped down on a
bench beside her and he cleared his
throat nervously.
"You see,” he went on, “you wear
such awfully good clothes and look so
splff.v that It makfis a fellow afraid to
say anything. You must he earning a
lot to pay your way and buy those
clothes.” Although the day was crisp
his face was damp with perspiration,
and he tugged at his colair os though
It strangled him.
Doris did not feel the chill winter
nlr. In her heart had sprung a curi
ous delicious warmth. She knew now
why had awakened with such a
gay zest for each workday, had hur
ried over the Inadequate scramble that
she named breakfast: It was so she
could reach the park in time for the
dally chat before going on to work.
And Diek, also, bad been intrigued
by the inconsequent chatter in the wide
spaces of the windy park where the
trees stretched bare, tangled branches
above them and sunshine made gay
golden patches on the pavement be
side thtiir favorite bench. ‘ A fat spar-
row alighted near them and In her till
she carried *a hit of string.
Dick colored furiously. “See there,
that sparrow thinks it’s nest-bullding
time. She is a bit ahead of the sea
son, hut It’s a good Idea. Would you
be satisfied to live back in Franklin?
I’m going in partners with dad.”
“I’m thinking of going back.” her
words came slowly and with embar
rassment.
Dick stood up very straight. “Is It
Fred Miller? I thought that—that Is,
oh, of course, it Is none of my busi
ness,” he ended coldly.
The brightness faded from the day,
the chill of the winter and the lost
Job suddenly overwhelmed her. How
had she so misunderstood him? “I have
not seen Fred Miller for over a year.
I must be getting on. I’ll be—” sty#
slopped; she could scarcely be late.
Grihsy’s would not want to see her
again.
“Don’t let me keep you,” his miser
able young voice fell dully upon her
ears. “Of course you’ll want to marry
a city man—”
She had started to rise when the
magical word “marry” stunned her
with Its unexpected entrance into their
conversation.
She looked up at him, hilt he was
staring at some late, shriveled leaves
that were making ghostly progress
over the frozen grass. She wished
ardently that he would go on and pro
pose properly, but, Instead, lie stood
dejectedly and in silence. She could
scarcely snatch at the magical word
and urge him on, but all the time her
heart ached with loneliness. She want
ed to be back home where the-houses
wore familiar faces, instead of the
bleak city wilderness of bricks and
granite.
Jumping up blindly because of the
unwelcome tears that bad suddenly
blurred her vision she held out her
band in Its much-mended glove: “Well,
good—” At that Inopportune moment
her muff slipped and fell to the ground.
She made a retrieving gesture toward
it, and stepped backward In dismay.
The soft, round package that she bad
mercilessly squeezed Into the muff's In
terior bad fallen out, and the stale
bread sandwich, spread with lumpy
butter because of the almost freezing
temperature of her room, lay exposed
for criticism.
“Why, Doris! Do you carry your
luncheon? Then you would be willing
to save and—” He had grasped both
her hands and looked directly Into her
misty eyes. “Marry a poor man,” she
finished dominantly.
QUEEN MAY' HAVE USED IT
Subterranean Passage Discovered in
English Town Recalls Fate of
Mary Queen of Scots.
During excavations that were be
ing made at Sheffield, England, an un
derground passage was discovered oil
the south side of the town. There
Is a tradition that there was such a
passage from the castle to .Sheffield
manor house during the time that
Mary Queen of Scots was prisoner
there, and the passage discovered
would answer to that description.
During the time of the duke of Nor
folk’s trial the queen was guarded
and allowed hut little freedom. Sir
Ralph Sadler had taken the place of
tin' earl of Shrewsbury as custodian
of the woman who was thq chief asset
In the political-religious game that was
being played for the throne of Eng
land.
Sir Ralph lets us look through the
windows at this time, and it is to
his credit that during the time he had
to guard the woman, who would have
revived the old form of religion and
crushed the new movement of Prot
estantism, he showed loot and sym
pathy.
“All the last week the queen did
not once look out of her chamber,
hearing that the duke stood upon Ids
arraignment and trial, and being trou
bled by all likelihood by a guilty
conscience and fear to hear of such
news ns she hath now received. And
toy presence is such a trouble to her
that unless she come out of her cham
ber I come little at her, and for my
part I have not since I come hither
so behaved myself toward her ns
might Justly give her occasion to have
any such nils!ike to me.”—Christian
Science Monitor.
Engineers and Pioneer Infantry.
In the field, the engineers are pri
marily builders; when they become
fighters It is more or less the result
of circumstnuces. They are trained
for tlie construction of permanent
works, and their organization includes
swell special units as railroad build
ers, foresters, searchlight operators,
and miners. The pioneer infantrymen,
on the •other hand, are primarily fight
ers'with special training for make
shift engineering work, such as the
construction of temporary bridges,
fortifications and roads. Rut their
primary work Is to hold sectors as any
other infantry. Their engineering
training is intended to serve the army
tn emergencies only.
Spreading Knowledge.
The great men of culture are those
who have had a passion for diffusing,
for making prevail, for carrying from
one end of society to the other, the
best knowledge, the best ideas of their
time; who have labored to divest
knowledge of all that was harsh, un
couth. difficult, abstract, professional,
exclusive; to humanize it, to make it
efficient outside the clique of the cul
tivated and learned, yet still remain
ing tlie best knowledge and thought of
the time, and a true source, therefore,
of sweetness 'and light—Matthew
Arnold.
