I |j Dy MILDRED WHITE. |S
' (?. 1921, Wcattrn Kewapapar Unlan.)
T
^ Lizzie stood frying the crullers a
golden brown, while Mrft. Reynolds
sat in her favorite corner of the neat
white kitchen. Though Lizzie had
1 proven herself capable in every line of
housekeeping, Mrs. Reynolds could
1 not quite resign her habit of directing.
Everything in the home which
; she had long made for her idolized
J and really worthy son bad come un,
I der her supervision, and it was difficult
now to brook other rule, even
of comi>etence. And surely, Lizzie was
? a Jewel.
After various and innumerable
maids had made fitful and unsatisfaci
lory stays in the pretty flat, Lizzie
arrived, and served with a skill seeming
too good to he true; and Lizzie re5
mained.
> Mrs. Reynolds found It was quite
> possible to make both friend and comlidant
of Lizzie without fear of later
.' disappointment. And the elder woman
accepted this companionship Joyfully,
reullzing In the comfort received
how very lonely she had heretofore
been.
For John Reynold's mother was not
one in her exactions to win either
, confidence or friendship. So no*\
. swaying to and fro In the rocker
which Lizzie had brought from the
living room, she relieved her mind
1 concerning a certain Betty Standlsh,
1 who had been presumptuous enough,
i and successful enough, to win her
! John's affection.
5 "It Isn't," she told Lizzie, "as if he
were a man to be taken with every
pretty face. John never did flR
around and make love, like other boys.
' He stayed at home and studied, and
that's why he has gotten along so well
with his engineering. But now, Just
! with that big promotion ahead and
j all, for him to be taken with an Idle,
. frivolous creature, who knows how to
I do nothing hut spend her father's
j money! What sort of helpmeet would
j she he to a young man whose life for
j some time tc come must be spent In
! overcoming obstacles? For John will
have to travel far and*put up with
much hardship. Will this musical,
ten-party girl, be willing to go with
him to the wilds, do you think?when 1
his duty calls?"
Mrs. Reynolds In her eloquence had
forgotten Lizzie's presence. The girl
admired a tempting cruller on the end
of a fork.
"Maybe," she replied, "this Miss
' Standlsh loves your boy a lot; love can
11 make people like to do all sorts of
'' hard, unusual things. And maybo
s she's not so light, after all, Mrs. Reynolds.
Do you know her?"
The mother's lips tightened.
1 "I absolutely refused to meet her," |
1 she replied, "#hen John made the suggestion.
Of bourse, he is under a
lover's glamour at present, and can>
not be reasoned with. But I have
heard enough about Steve Standlsh's
daughter to know that she inherits all
he? father's love of show and luxury;
and as her mother died when she was
horn, she's had no bringing up outside
of fancy boarding schools. You can
hardly pick up a paper without reading
some description of her gown at
| this 'affair' or her playing at that
And all the money John will have to
give her will be what he earns
through hard endeavor. Seems?"
The mother's voice trailed off sadly.
"John's life has Just been spent j
overcoming obstacles, big ones all ,
along the way. He was Just a lad I
when his father died, and he has been j
j obliged to fight his way to his desire." j
Tears filled the faded eyes. Lizzie |
briskly put her kettle aside, the last I
fragrant cruller was done. TTien she
came, smiling and straightening the
ruffles over ber arms, straight to the
, old lady's side.
"Now, dear," she said, "don't you
fret. John Is going to find just the
right woman, the one woman for him,
because no one could be wholly selfish.
I think, and love your John at
the same time. There Is something
so big and fine and noble about him
that, well, it Just has to bring out nobleness
in another. You see, I know
?for I love your John."
i
The mother caught her breath sharp
. ly; unbelieving, she looked up Into the
glowing face above her.
I i Old Mrs. Reynolds stared, then ex- .
(! citedly she grased the girl's bands.
"I.izzie," she cried. "I really wish that
my boy did love you."
"You really mean, O John's mother,"
' i.izzie asked, "that you would welf|
come me as John's wife if it should
f happen that he loved me?"
The elder woman's voice was earn1
est. "I would, Lizzie," she said.
'; Then Lizzie, with a tremulous lit
"I tie laugh, slipped to her knees and
buried her face on the mother's shoul1
j der.
i1 "Then welcome me," she said,
"lor your John and I, we lore each
other: 1 am Betty Staodlsh, dear;
Klizaheth Ktandish, if you please. Anil
i I have deceived you In order to win
Just that welcome. There was uo other
way after you positively refused to
5 meet me."
The girl rulsed her face to smile
f Into the other with Its dawning light
of happiness.
'j "Yoj er e," remarked Lizzie?Betty?
-1 -teniurely, "I can overcome some ?bf'
srucle-i myself."

TRAGEDY IN STRIKE'S WAKE
Brooklyn Man's Sortio on Roller
Skates C?rre to End in Sudden
and Oire Disaster.
This is another of those stories In
which the hero has to go by a "nora de
modesty." So he will be known as
John K. Bings?J. K. for short. He
is one of the several people, aside
from Mayor Hylnn, who live ip
Brooklyn, and one of those, including
Hizzoner, who do not ride on
the B. R. T.
J. K.'s boss was one of those unreasonable
people who did not consider
the strike a good and sufficient
reason for being absent or even unusually
late for work. So It was up
to him to get to the office in some
manner. The first and second days
of the tleup he managed to get
Jammed on a truck. It would have
been uil right if he hadn't seen on the
third day that three girls had roller
skated ucross the bridge.
J. K. remembered his youth distinctly
and he was pretty sure that
roller skating was easy. Certainly he
should be able to manipulate the simple
straight-forward steps after the
complex patterns of his youth. And
so it was that he borrowed his small
daughter's skates, pulled them out to
the limit of extension und set forth
across tlie bridge of many signs.
J. K. found that he managed pretty
well until he got to the bridge.
When the pavement wus level it wus
quite easy and despite his modesty
he found that the surprised and appreciative
glances of the less fortunate
Brooklynites were very pleasant.
It gave him a line feeling of returned
youth to be roller skating along with
the best of the youngsters.
But he hud reckoned without the
slope at the New York end of the
bridge. Here the structure begins to
descend slightly to meet the roadwuy.
And J. K. lost coutrol of his pedal
trnction arrangements. He grew
pale as he saw u great mass of people
aheud of him. Yelling did no
good, for the traffic was too great.
So he hit the mass of humanity with
a thud, which jolted the chewing gum
clear down the throats of two stenographers.
J. K. found himself seated
on the pavement. His straw hut
was gone and there was a bad rip in
his coat. Slowly he got up, apologized
profusely and looked for his
bat. He found it* where lie had been
sitting. But it was quite useless.?
