JERRY'S
MISTAKE
1 ? 1 v ??? ???' ? ?*?
By VICTOR REPCllfFK
<0?Wfl?U ??!#., W..i.ru
ftrry Uutou eau>* back to the uiod
??t little hamlet of Ko*svlll? *ti?r a
week'a mnv Id the city quite the llou
?f the hour among his juvenile ac
fitalntancee, until the flrat glmuour of
his embellished uarratlvt? of wonders
aeeu and participated In had somewhat
worn away.; Hla relatives, the Mor
tona, had M him a good time In
deed, The$ had a flue home, ample
means, and Myrtle, a daughter, who,
pleasant and sympathetic had put her
?elf out to aee that Jprry was engaged
in a constant 'round of metropolitan'
alfht seeing,
Kittle did the artlea^, well. meaning
lad realise that he had unconsciously
rewarded all the kindness and Indul
gence of hi* pretty couslu with a cure
less act that brought the darkest cloud
of her life to her. She was partlm
larly happy one memorable morning,
for she had received a written Invita
tion from Gerald Steele to afford him
the pleasure and hduor of her com
pany to sn entertainment the following
wee Jr.
Myrtle's beautiful eye* had beamed
as she scanned the little note. He
was her Ideal of a gentleman, young,
handsome, Intelligent, and the dell
cacy of his attentions charmed her
quite. Forthwith Myrtle Indited a
reply and sturted down the stairs for
her room Intent upon throwing on a
light wrap and mailing it. Fate al
tered her Intentions, however, as she
noticed Jerry In the front hall, pack
ing Into their bo* a pair of roller
akntes with which she had presented
him that morning,
"Would you mind posting my letter
for me, Jerry?" she nuked.
"Oh, sure! Cousin Myrtle," replied
< Jerry with alacrity. "I'd ft<? Just any
thing for you. Where Is the post of
fice?" , *
"Oh, you don't have to go there,'- ex
plained Myrtle. "You know there Is a(
letter box at the corner?"
"Is there?" queried Jerry.
Jerry set forth at once and Itfyrtle
tripped up to her room again, hum
ming a happy air, hi love with all
the world, and tenderly wondering If
the sender of the Invitation would be
I a?? pleased as - she Was to reply to it.
I Jerry left for his native village at
noon. Myrtle wandered about restless
ly counting the hours, because she felt
sure that Gerald Steele would call
Friday evening, his usual occasion fof
coining around to spend the evening.
"Let me see," Myrtle whispered to
I herself, "he will receive the note ' to
j morrow morning. Then there's only
that .day, and the next I shall see him.
And he has selected an opera I once
told him was my favorite. So he
must think over and remember what I
| say, and I' suppose thinks of me,- too,
once In a while."
Myrtle flitted away, flushing raptur
' ously as a fugitive from the telltale
! thought, and laughed outright at the
j trivial -deception she was playing on
herself.
Gerald Steele did not put in an ap
pearance Friday evening and thence
until the following Tuesday was a pe
riod of glooin and unhappiness for
Myrtle. The evening of the engage*
ment arrived, and while Myrtle did
not allude to it before her parents, she
hqd everything In her room ready fox
quick dressing when Gerald should ar
rive. At seven o'clock she was In a
fever of suspense. At eight her last
hope faded away< By nine she was
In bed, her face turned to the wall
and crying as If her heart would
break. >
Then a dreary two weeks, during
which time not a word was received
from "the recreant lover!" Myrtle
felt all the sorrowfulness of neglect
and desertion. She could only con
sider that Gerald had1 no further de
sire for her company. Once In a
.while the pride and disdain -of her na
ture came to the surface, and briefly
she would resent the direct affront she
had suffered, but her sensitive, ten
der heart would melt Into n sense of
forlornness as she realized how miich
Gerald Steele bad been to her.
For a single hour, amid a sudden ex
citement and turmoil, Myrtle forgot
her sorrows. An adjoining house
' caught Are and the Morton house was
I very nearly included In the blaze. As
j It was, sinoke and water somewhat
damaged the latter residence, and
j Myrtle was directing the servants in
removing the traces of the occasion,
when she stepped out upon the porch
to fasten up a favorites-flowering vine
that the firemen had. torn- down.
She had never looked more charm
ing than at that moment, her golden
hair peeping out from the mob Cap,
her dress daintily pinned up, her fuce
[ flushed with the animation of the mo
i ment.
j "Miss Morton," spoke an altogether
' unexpected voice, and there stood CJer
| aid Steele, smiling, a certain eager ex
: pectancy in hi* fare. The bewildered
; Myrtle could not understand.
"Just reeelved It," he eontlnued, and
, he extended the envelope. "It was
found In the Are alarm box, and they
guessed that some Inexperienced hand
I had placed It there instead of In the
' mail box. Kven,nt h ' s late date It
i mu?t expbiin our mutual silence."
i "Jerry!" uttered Myrtle, nnd wa
I vered so that (Jerald felt It necessary
: to supj?ort her for the moment.
Quite as famlliit.-ly Myrtle naid
"Gerald" ".he third cali after that of
her ^ef^hted lover, for the explana
tion brought relief and reunion and
lore fuJJy developed.

So-called bargain tires, made up for
seijsational sales and offered at ridicu
lously low prices, do hot attract
careful buyers.
They are far more concerned with
what they get than with what they
pay because they know that in the
end it is performance and not price
that delivers actual tire economy.
The popularity of Goodyear Tires, of
thd 30x3'; 30 x 31/2- and 31 x 4-inch
sizes, is based on the fact that they
deliver exceptional mileage at exceed
ingly low cost.
