TICK AND CATHY
** Tain't always the eddlcated or the
well-dressed that?"
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."

: 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," ^ .
