JOHN AND MARY By HELEN MERRITT. - ?> - (Copy I IK 1. 1. !>!?, by lln" M?j- 'litre >?'*?? pujKr Sy tiJilt ?u*,> Mary came running down the stairs, her (ace beaming. She had double cause to be happy- she a?8 going out to spend the t- veuing with her lover and she had a new and beautiful gown. Ah she entered Hie reception room, John rose to greet hej\ Site paused before she reached him, and, letting <he long cloak blip from her shoul ders, stood revealed ui all the bravery of the new finery. "Don't you like It?" she faltered. He might have been diplomatic In his reply. Hut that was not Johns \vay. ? So he blurted out bluntly, "No, 1 don t. Tears rose instantly to dim the brightness of Mary a blue eyes. "Why?" she asked, after a long pause. Hut specific explanation was quite beyond John, lie did not like the dress. lie simply stood and gazed disappointingly at it, and Under the shadow of that look Mary broke down and wept openly. Then, without au other word, she ran from the room. Then a half hour had passed and Mary had not returned to him. He rang the bell and requested the maid who answered it to say to Miss Mary that he was waiting. When the maid returned she handed him a note. It was very brief. He read amazedly: "1 am not going out with you ? now or at any other time. Mary." Besides being straightforward to the verge of brusqueness, John was stub born. He felt that he did not de serve the punishment. And the breach thus opened wid ened steadily as time sped on. Mary's maid went to her mistress one day and asked: "Miss Mary, what had we better do about the rough laundry this week? Old Mary hasn't been to get it." j Young Mary turned languidly from ! the book she was only pretending to ! read. j "Perhaps she's sick," she suggest ( ed. "I'll go over to her place and see about u. , It was a sad enough spectacle which j con fronted Mary when she reached the j poor home of the laundress. The few j bus of furniture were piled up ready j lur removal. Old Alary was sitting be side John, her rheumatic old husband. The story was soon told. John s rheumatism would not permit him to work steadily any longer. It was star vation or the poorhouse. Young .Mary thought rapidly, and the end of her pondering brought glad relief ti> the face of old John. "I'll take Mary home with me," she said authoritatively. "There's a little room over the kitchen she can have. She can help th? cook when she is able, and she 11 be well looked after." An hour or two later, leaning on his stick and shuttling his way to the road leading to the poorhouse. old John was halted by a cheery greeting: "Hello John! What's up with you? You haven't been ardund lately to do the lawn." The old man repeated the tale of his misfortunes. It was Johns turn to take the role of good fairy. He knew how these old folks had always dreaded the poor house. I , i "You won't have to go to the poor house,'" he told the old fellow. "You ' come around to the garage with me. There s a room there the under gar dener used to have. You shall stay > there. The cook will feed you. When j you feel like doing a bit of work, why, do it." i So it happened that old Mary, com- ; fortably ensconced in Miss Mary's | kitchen, received a message which told her that old John had escaped the , poorliouse. It gave her the address of : the garage. , Time passed. One morning Mary's maid came to her room with a seiV)us face. "Old Mary's too sick to get up," she announced dolefully. Miss Mary wrote a note at old Marys dictation. It said: "Dear, John, I am sick, maybe dying. I want you. Come at once. Mary." The note was sent and when it reached its destination it threw old John Into a panic. Mr. John was away, but the chauffeur advised the old man to go to his wife at once. "Leave the note on the boss' desk," he suggested. "Then he'll know why you had to go in a hurry."' Mr. John came back from a business trip, tired and utterly discouraged. But suddenly the whole face of the earth was transformed into a thing of joy! For there on his desk he found a note in Mary's handwriting. It bore a message which could only be an swered in person. Mary was In trouble And had appealed to him! When she came in answer to the un expected demand, it followed, of' course, that all doubts and misunder standings were speedily cleared away. When she realized just what had brought John to her house in such pre cipitate haste, Mary led him to the little room over the kitchen. Together they entered on tiptoe. Old Mary lay on the little bed, peacefully fast asleep. Holding her hand and with his old. white head nodding close to ward hers, sat old John. "They must never be separated again, " John whispered. They can lire with vs." And Mary. her heart in her eyes nodded assent. r> i ill ('AMI'AH'N UAH. L':. 1 . . > > 'A. 1 u u 1 1 1 IV?lUCKtOd tO HVIft HUM) ?
