The finishing of Aunt 'Llzbeth's remark to the story she was reading was cut short by the entrance of Cathy. "Sawed-oflf thing out there askln* fer Mis' Sherman," she snorted. "When 1 'quired his business be told me to shoot for the boss, as he didn't treat with menials. Can I order him away?" "No. Mebbe it's the plumber, an' with leakin' pipes he's a man we can't worry none. Let him come In." But it wasn't the plumber . "Been lookin' over your place, ma'am," the caller said affably, as he advanced Into the room. "Shows everywhere the need of a good, handy man like me. Lucky I got hungry trampln' au OCCU UUO UUU9C (til L'UIUC 111 IW H bite." "Lb It?" dryly. "1 never give a bite to a tramp." "Who said give?" indignantly. "1 work for everything I ask. An' 1 ain't a tramp. I worked In a printin* shop where I come from, an' was thlnkln' of tlnsmlthln' at the next town. But I ain't farmed in quite a long spell, so I b'lieve I'd rather do that now. "Must be mighty old, the way you talk," scorned Cathy. 'Tm twenty-four, but age ain't nothln\ I started out at fourteen, makln* up my mind to be well-rounded in all trades. That's why I've tried em." "Plumbln'?" Inquired Aunt 'Lizbeth. "Three months with a bunch of robbers ovei; In the next state." "Water's drlppln' In my kitchen right now," lamented Aunt 'Lizbeth. S'pose you could fix It up as a special Job, me not hlrln' you reg'lnr?" "But you are hlrln' me reg'lar," he grinned. "Got any tools and things to mend the pipe with?" "Cathy*!! show you." The fellow turned and regarded Cathy as he would an unusual curiosity, a provoking grin on his face. "Pretty stingy on looks," he commented, "but that ain't sayln' she can't cook, which Is the main point.". Aunt 'Llzbeth's lips tightened as the two went back toward the kitchen. Cathy's angry answer rising high above the bantering voice of Tick. "I can't have them two lu the house together, even If I could afford a man, which I can't," she thought. But when dinner came there was no Tick. "Ail tnat starvln' was Just talk," snapped Catliy. "Bet he stole enough along the road to keep him stuffed all the time." "Did he do the plumbln' job all right?" "Yes," grudged Cathy, "Just as good's the best kind of plumber could, an' in half the time. When he started off he said he was goln' to look the farm all over to find out whut It could do an' what needed beln' done most." They waited supper for him a half hour before he slipped in, tired, but bright-eyed. "Well," helping himself liberally to fried eggs and ham, "I guess I've left my footprints pretty well over the sands an' loams of this farm. I got It all planned out." "I'm afraid 1 sha'n't be able to?" began Aunt 'Llzbeth, when he went on calmly: "It's that big twenty-acre lot south of the house. It's fine, level, rich ground, but ain't been cropped In three years, I should Judge by the weeds. It ain't no use to you. Here's the way 1 flgger it. I got the farmln' bee in my bonnet, hard. I'll take the big lot an" farm It on sheers, half an' half. I'll spend half my time on the lot, an' the other half workin' for you round the F.uvc, t-iuypiLi, uiiKcrm an' makln' a good garden. Suit?" "I?guess so. But I been try In' to sell that twenty acres to Mr. Bush of the farm beyond. I ask one thousand dollars, and he offers only eight hundred dollars. I'd hate for you to git In a crop an' then sell."' "S'pose you give me a thirty days' option," considered Tick. "All right," acceded Aunt 'Llzbeth. Thirty days later. Tick entered Aunt 'Llzbeth's room with a brisk, businesslike air. Cathy followed him to the door with an embarrassed self-consclousness she had never shown before. "Why, Cathy," Aunt 'Llzbeth called at sight of her, "where have you been all this afternoon?" "She drove Into town with me," answered Tick for her. "We got married, an' got the money." "Got married?you?" echoed Aunt 'Llzbeth, feebly. "Why, you've hated each other." "Has seemed that way," assented Tick. "But I been lyin' to you right along. In a concealin' way, Mis' 'Llzbeth. What I really come In here for was to study Cathy?though she didn't know. My grand-dad was her granddad-ln-law or something, but with us not knowln' each other nor related In any way. Grand-dad was an umbrella mender, an' felt himself awful rich, with a whole thousnnd dollars In h bank. He didn't wnnt tt .? vu )iU Oil I III the family, so left It to us If we'd got married. I sneered at the thought, then felt Td better run down an' look her over. Cathy's got some good points." "An* you, Cathy,' asked Aunt 'Llzbeth. "how do you feel about It?" "Tick has some good points, too." guardedly. "I do hold up for a man who eats hearty, an' that's Tick. But you needn't feel flustered, Mis' 'Llzbeth. for we're goln' to stay on Just the same, 'cept payln' the thousand dollars for the lot." (Copyright, 1*16 by tho MoClur* Newspa I JHr TXloataiA ' i / . I : BROUCHER'S SARCASM ;[; By HAROLD BRONSON. Broucher had u naturally unpleasant way of expressing himself when things didn't go to suit him and some foolish person once told him that he was delightfully, wickedly sarcastic. That explained him. It is rather an awful thing when u man gets an Idea that he has a gift for sarcasm. He is particularly apt to cultivate it. Broucher became unpopular. He was not really such a bad sort of fellow, not even Ill-tempered, but he developed a sort of carping habit of speech for the more frequent display of his gift and his associates naturally got down on him. It was in his loneliness that be began his wooing of Miss Bardexter, the meek and amiable little woman whose nimble, white lingers rattled over the keys of the typewriter In the office. Miss Bardexter rather admired Broucher's style of talk. Perhaps It was she who originally complimented him on It. Anyway, Broucher got Into the habit of lingering about her desk and saying wickedly sarcastic things about the other men In the office. The upshot of the thing was that he married her. But with the waning of the honeymoon It was different. If anything went a little crossways he usually called attention to It, and of course a young housekeeper Is not an old one, and things will go a little crossways at first. Then it was: "Dearest, I have observed with some pain that you are not sufficiently considerate of the feelings of the young lady who has so kindly consented to assist you In the care of the household. You must remember that girls In domestic service have their feelings." "Why, Courtney, dear I I aui sure I have always tried?" l es, yes, I know. I don. t think yon meant to hurt her, but there Is that young man of hers and her girl friend and her young man In the kitchen now. I know they are there because I hear them very plainly. Indeed. They have been there three nights handrunning now, and you have never once Invited them to use the parlor and the piano, so that they have beeh obliged to put up with the kitchen and a mouth organ. Don't you think It would he nice for you to go out and invite them In. I'm afraid If I do It I shall be tactless." * Mrs. Broucher would look at him timidly and hesitatingly, and he would sustain her look with an unpleasantly bland smile. Then she would go out to the kitchen, and shortly after the sounds of revelry would cense. But Broucher was not dissatisfied when a letter came announcing a visit from his mother-in-law whom he hud never seen; he said he would be more than delighted. "You see, we bore each other so that any distraction Is welcome," he said with a smile, and patted his wife on her plump cheek. But Mrs. Bnrdexter arrived, bag and baggage, for a month's visit, and then ?well, there was no trouble; she was a mighty sweet and easy-tempered woman. But she seemed to take Broucher so seriously. When he came down a little late and observed that he apprehended the consideration his wife had shown In not waking him. us lie uiteu in ue mie ui uie uniee, occaslonally?It looked Independent? then did Mrs. Bardexter exclaim: "Well I I should think you would be afraid they might not like It." "You don/t mean to say we have eggs, dear I" Broucher said a little later. "This Is Indeed a surprise. Nice little change, Isn't It?" "Ktnmle said you had been having them so often lately that you were kind of sick of them," said Mrs. Bardexter In a surprised tone. "What did you .put that roast In the oven for, my own?" asked Broucher. "You have warmed It almost through, I believe, and It would have been so much nicer quite raw. to say nothing of the gas you must have used. Haven't you a little really raw meat?" Mrs. Bardexter got up from the table, went out and came back with a nice little piece of raw beefsteak. "Oh, mamma," said Mrs. Broucher. "Courtney doesn't really like raw meat. Fie was Just making fun. He likes It quite well done and I'm afraid It Is just a little bit uudone." "Courtney, do you always mean what you don't say?" inquired bis mnlhn.ln.llim How could Brouchcr keep It up? He couldn't. All this happened In the first week and Mrs.* Bardexter's stay wns prolonged to five more. People without any sense of humor are awfully trying, but fhere Is really no use In fighting against them. "Courtney," said Mrs. Rardexter, when she wns leaving for her home in Brand Rapids, "when I first came I noticed that you talked very strangely, hut you don't do It any more and I'm glnd of It for Kmmle's sake and yours. I kind of think you were Joking, hut Jokes like that hurt some peo pie's feelings. You can't make a real Joke out of a grumble and a mean thing isn't any more pleasant because you say It with a smile. That's all I've got to say. Now. don't tell me that you're going to raise the lake level two Inches with your tears for my departure, because I shan't believe you." "I would teli you that," said Broucher. "but honestly, I'll miss you, and 1 hop'rf It won't he long before you come to visit us again. And?I believe you've done me good," ^ . r? 1 \ The Wingate School I A high grade preparatory school designed to give the best training to boys and girls of this section of the State.
