C"rk' SO?r*S ""!E <i0,'SK < Un" * Friday, Aug. MU, BOTH CHERRY PIE By CLARI88A MACKIE. It was hucIi a delectable cherry pie ?flaky, pale-brown crust, with delicate pink juice oozing through a tiny bole at the top ae if to give a hint of the imprisoned rapture within. Because it was her flm really suc cessful cherry pie, Hetty was highly elated an who placed It in the pantry window to cool. It waa to grace the dlnuer table that night when her fa ther returned from the city, hot and tired, after a loug day lu the office. Later Hetty changed her frock and with a readable book went out to the hammock swinging under the apple tree. She loved thia tiny vine-wreathed oottage which her father had hired | for the season from lta owner, Miaa Alicia Peck. Hhe fairly yearned over the polished mahogany furniture, the fine old china and the pervading at mosphere of a bygone day that waa completed by Misa Alicia herself, a tiny Uttle woman who clung to the customs of her mother's time. There was no one to notice when a ragged and unkempt young man appeared from the direction of the river and tried the kitchen door. But the key was under Betty's pillow In the hammock and all the other doors were locked aa well, for Betty waa a cautious little soul. Then the Intruder went around to the pantry window, glanced specula tively at the removable screen ? and saw the cherry pie. A ? His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he reached a long arm, pushed aside the screen, and removed the pie, plate and alL Betty's eyes popped wide open, just In time to glimpse the ragged stranger disappearing with the cherry pie. "Of all the ? Impudence!" breathed Betty as she slipped from the ham mock and followed him. "There never will be another such a cherry pie in this world!" When Hetty came upon him, he waa holding half the cherry pie in each hand, and his ecstatic expression and general stickiness of countenance proclaimed that Betty's effort was without doubt a success. "What are you eating?" demanded Betty in an aggrieved tone. "Ambrosia," he replied with an unctuous smack of his lips. Betty started resentfully. "That's a nice way to evade ex plaining why you stole my cherry pie! I'd be ashamed, a great big, strong man like you ? s-s-st-steal-lng pie!" "Why steal plain bread and but ter, or even cake, when you can find pie like this? Cherry pie is my fa vorite of all pies," he said with a fond glance at the pastry. "And I never tasted a better cherry pie in all my life." "Why don't you go to work and earn money to buy food?" she asked, after she had watched him with fas cinated eyes, consume the remainder of the pie. , ? "I do work part of the time," he con fessed. "What is your trade?" "Painter," he said, rather humbly. Betty's eyes brightened. Here waa an opportunity to make this recreant youth pay for his pie. "Then you can come right up to the house and paint the veranda chairs for me," she said decisively. "I was going to do them myself, but you might as well pay ^or the pie." "Very well," he said with aston ishing meekness, considering his size and strong, square chin. They had reached the house by this time, tho tramp limping painfully after her through the prickling stub* ble of the orchard. Betty turned to speak to her com panion, but she was silent in the face of his manifest amazement at their destination. ''You said it waB your pie," he re proached her. "Why, I could have sworn Aunt Alicia made it." "Miss Alicia?" fautered Betty. "Why ? it's made by her recipe ? she showed me how ? why do you call her your aunt?" , , , "Because she is," returned this amazing tramp cheerfully. "The only and best aunt a fellow ever had. Are you visiting hor?" Betty told him tho circumstances. "I never received her letter," he said with chagrin. "I came down the river in a canoe, took a notion to go in swimming before I came up to the house, and left my clothes on the shore. When I came out my own clothos had disappeared, and I found those. I had to wash them out first and dry thorn in Ihe sun before I put them on, and then I came on up to Aunt Alicia's, knowing I had some old clothes in tho kitchen loft cham ber. 1 found Aunt Alicia was not at home, but I discovered the cherry rio ? and annexed it, and, believo me, Aunt Alicia hasn't anything over you on chcrry pies. But I don't believe there'll he another one just like this." Betty blushed. "If you are Mlaa Alicia's nephew, you must be tho art 1st of whom she is so proud ? Mr. Gor don Craig," said tho girl rather shy- ' ly. as sho remembered all she had said to him an hour before. Gordou Craig was qulto right. There nevor was Just such another cherry pie as that one which Hetty made and Gordon stole ? which episode intro duced them to each other and fltattUy4 ended In Miss Peck becomtng Betty'# Aunt A'.lcia as well as Gordon Craig's.
