Si ? ? : : : By IZOLA FORRE8TER. $ 3 :$ ::: XvXvi-x-x-Xw ft Peter sat up, ran his fingers through his toweled hair and beamed at Pol- a ly like a benevolent imp. "I don't li see what you want to rush off to New T York for. You won't make good, Pol- c] ly. You girls think after you've sung o in the choir in a dinky little town like zi "Waneota all you have to do is get up 11 on a stage and be a prima donns b< qulcker'n scat. Buell says?" a *1 don't care to hear It, Peter." "What on earth have you got against N ouuii auuou : niHing young lawyer, ?< and, by Jiminy, he will rise sure enough. He's going up In an aero- n plane." tl "For pity's sake!" exclaimed Mrs. Wadleigh. Polly looked at Peter with doubt and suspicion in her eyes and 11 the time table in her hand. b "He Is. I heard him talking to a some fellows at the post office, and w he said he'd Just as soon go as not." w Polly went out of the room with her nost tilted at rather a scornful 11 angle. It was quite like Buell to say such a thing in Pete's hearing to be a sure it reached her ears and would 11 make her worry about him. Polly decided that nothing could a ever make her worry cr trouble her- J* self again about Mr. Abbott. She was not interested in his goings or comings, or ascensions for that matter. Safe in her own room, she stood ? before the oval mahogany-framed mirror, ana iooKea at tne iace tnat stared so haughtily, so uncompromis- c< ingly, back at her. The eyes were very blue, startlingly blue, with dark ^ lashes and eyebrows, and her hair, w too, was dark. Polly liked to take it ^ and pile It high on her head, with a w few loose curls at her temple and r1 ears, like a picture of the Empress w Josephine she had cut from a magazine and pinned on the wall. It was a pity someone had not planned an ? opera around Josephine, she thought. She would have loved singing arias P1 of defiance at some stocky Napoleon. ^ Buell was rather stocky. Tall, but ^ broad shouldered, and rather inclined a' to take things too easy. Yes, that q was exactly the whole trouble, Polly ? decided for the hundredth time. He didn't have a thrill of romance 01 P temperamental excitement in his a: whole make-up. 81 It had always seemed natural for ^ Buell to be her sweetheart, natural * for him to ask her quite casually one evening a few months ago, "Which ? side of the railroad track do you j* want to live on, Polly, after we're h married?" v That was the way Buell proposed, spoke of the divine fire of love in hia heart. And it was Buell all over. * Polly had Rebelled from that mbv ..ia ?ti_ J?.? _ h imnaMira myu Wt 'BOiVKV side of the track either. She told t&W . Abbott that she thought of running down to New York and studying for grand opera. And Buell had stared at her for a minute In utter amaze- F ment before he had actually laughed at her and chuckled. b "You're not, really, Polly?" "Oh, but I am," Insisted Polly. "I'm t( going next week;" b All during her preparation for the trip she thought of him until by the time she took the train for New York a she almost relented and called him up to say good-by. Somehow he seemed j , rather noncommittal and not half so 8 anxious as she had expected. It was around Poughkeepsie, half J* way down the Hudson, that Polly no- . ticed the other passengors watching . something from the windows, some thing very exciting. When she looked . out she saw hovering over the river 8 a flying ship like a great bird. Qi-l-Ui J " uuuiKui uuwn 11 came toward the racing train. As it passed them, the a engine emitted a shriek of salute, and the people called from the windows and platforms, waving caps and hand- a kerchiefs; but Polly drew back into )4 her own seat, with wide, almost frightened eyes. Over the telephone Buell a had told her last of all: t( "Remember our favorite song, w 'Loch Lomond,' Polly? Well, listen to this, and it's a promise? 'You take the high road and I'll take the low road. And I'll be in Scotland before you.'" e: Now she know what he meant. Slow, ei easy going, unromantic Buell had w chosen the most sensational route to ^ follow and overtake his swctheart on ? her Journey after fame and fortune. uuicisiancing tne train, the aeroplane ri alighted at Tarrytown, and when the s express pulled in Duell stood smiling ^ on the platform, his hat off, bowing in lr response to the greeting cheers. ^ As scon as ho had found Polly tie shook hands laughingly and settled ni down Into the seat beside her. "I've told the other chap, Chapin, hi he can go back without me," he said calmly. "Made pretty good time, m didn't we?" w Polly looked at him with a new expression of admiration in hor wide tt eyes. I "I don't see why you ever did such I a wild thing, Buell," she said helplessly. "Don't you?" he replied cheerfully. g? "Well, I had to catch you before you si reached Aunt Eudora, didn't I? Now, m as soon as we reach Now York I can 11' explain matters to her, Polly, and st wo'll be married at her house and go back to Waneota."

IN A BUZZARD : $ ^ ::: I By OLIVE ROBERTO BARTON. & Lw.vavavavavava%vav.v.v.v.-.^ Katrine Wharten was being talked bout. Tongues and fingers were flylg at the Ladies' Missionary band, he big stove in the parlor at the hurch was sending out great waves f welcome heat, for outside a blizlrd was raging. Mrs. Milton, on the oor with an immense pair of scisars in her hand, was cutting around shirt pattern laid on red flannel. "What I want to know is," Mrs. [llton paused and waved her scisors with a Patrick Henry gesture, why she won't come. It looks lighty queer to me. I sometimes link it must bo a guilty conscience." Rev. Mr. Washburn raised his head *om the sermon he was preparing i his study. He frowned and puBhed ack his chair impatiently. He had n idea that he knew of whom they ere talking, and it hurt. Mrs. Milton ent on: "Of course, when a woman is livlg all alone she can't be too carell. Naturally when her uncle died ad left her the house and a little loney to live on, she left her work i the city and came here. All well ad good! But how do folks know hat kind of a person she is, coming ere a perfect stranger, unless she ries to prove she's respectable? he's been asked to Join every solety in this church and has refused, nd I've seen her with my own eyes, irough the parlor window, playln* irds by herself." The young minister knew without earing that the ladies of the church ere- nnstue to tne independent young oman. A few weks before when he as in bed with a serious illness Kat!ne Wharten had pitched in. She ent over every day to the preacher's ouse and washed dishes, cooked, aked, scrubbed porches and ironed, nee she had washed the clothes. The lowered voice in the ladies' arlor caused him to shudder. He new perfectly well that all this was sing discussed. The propriety of her ttention to the sick man bad been uestioned by all the ladies of the mgregatlon. He could stand it no longer. He ut oil his hat and went out. The wind nd snow that met him at the door iddenly cooled his indignation. What ad he done to be blessed with plenty ad comfort when fellow men. Just s worthy, were suffering? For in:ance, Mr. Cassldy with his wife and >ur children and likely another one, ad been sick for four months. He onderea now if they had food and aal. He would go Immediately and ad out. The wind fairly bl$w him Into the irpetless hallway of the Cassldys. [e had tn filmself against the, rail to get the door shut. Thesuden lull from the beating elements utslde seemed queer?the house sually noisy was hushed. The doorway into the front room was open, 'our children were quietly playing a ame on the floor, a big fire was urnlng In the grate, and In a low, roken chair near It sat Katrine Whar?n dozing. On her lap lay a newlyorn baby. Rev. Washburn went In as Sdftljf s he could, but Katrine heard him nd sat up with a start, nearly ropplng the baby. She laughed as he grabbed It. Then she turned a lovely red. It ras the first time he had even seen er confused. Suddenly she remem ored to hold out her hand. "How o you do, Mr. Washburn? I am oing the honors today. Won't you It down?" "You seem to be doing more thati onors, Miss Katrine. It makes me Bhamed of my tardiness. How is Irs. Cassldy, and how is Mike's tieumatlsm? Is the baby a boy or girl?" "It's a girl," piped Lizzie, aged ton. An' pap's rheumatism's something wftil. It was fierce when Miss Wharjn came day 'fore yfestefday, Wfl uz all hungry too, an' it was mighty Did. Ma was sick too. Miss Whar ;n, she?" "Hush, Lizzie, hush!" "I was Just goln* to tell tho preach* r. She sent us coal, and stuff to at, and stayed hero an' did all the ork, an' took care of tho baby, an* rought Jorry an* mo shoes, an* an' h?everything." An hour later, when a relative arvod to look after the family. Rev. umuel stnrted homo with Katrine trough tho snow, ills heart was slngig. There was no doubt In his mind r*w about this sweet, charitable girl. Why didn't you want Lizzie to tell ie, Miss Katrine?" ' Because 1 hate to do thingB and ave everybody know.'"But you won't do anything in the tissionary societies and I thought? e all thought?" "Yes, I know what everybody unKs, out it doesn t matter to mo. am my own missionary society, have my own way of doing things." "It's a pretty good way, Katrine." It was the first time he had for>tten the "Miss.* He was afraid le would drop his arrn. A dreadful inufe passed- then she snuggled a Itle closer as if away from the orm.
