Weeks, of the Double Pond section, was a buaineess visitor here Tuesday. mi. by McClure Newapaper Syndicate. S l "Next station’s Pennelton, ma’am.” Marion Caruthers looked up, nodded to the porter, quickly stuffed the niag- ailhe she was reading into her grip and put on her coat and hat. A mo ment later she was standing on the platform watching the train pull out. As she glanced arountl she felt like running after thie disappearing cava and begging them not to leave her behind. It “seemed as If she had sev ered the last connection with her past, her girlhood life; but in a hash her spirits were up again and she turned quickly as someone touched her oq the arm. “Miss Caruthers?” said a pleasant voice, njid Marion saw before her a middle-aged man with bared head. “Yes, I’m she,” she smiled back at him. “I’m Thompson, the principal of the school where you’re going to teach.” “How nice of you to meet me,” she said. “I’m awfully glad you're the principal because I know I’ll like you.” “You’re very young, Miss Caruth ers,” he mused glancing up and down the trim little figure before him. “Yes, this is .my first school,” she admitted. ——- “Anti fp come so far.” “It is a long way, but I’ve always wanted to see the South, so I took my first chance.” “I ho|H» you’ll like it; we do. We’ll Just get home in time for dinner,” he continued. . "Dinner!” she gasped. "Why, up home we always have dinner at six o’clock.” Professor Thompson looked a shade uncomfortable for a second, but lie managed to say lightly: “We’re Just ordinary folks down here. (lues* you ll have to make al lowances.” Mrs. Thompson met Marion at the door and gave her a warm welcome. “So glad to see you. dear. Are you very tired?

Pro fessor Hamilton's mother had Invited her over for Thanksgiving dinner, after which they had gone on a straw ^ride and had supper nt a distant ind. It was a ^olly crowd. Then there were two dances and Marlon had made a decided hit each night. Still she did not feel that she was one of them. There was always a t slight coolness about these people that was apt to freeze suddenly right in the middle of a conversation, and without a mo- ment’s notice. Southern people were nice, but queer—so queer. No doubt aliout thafT And now spring had come again and soon Marion would be going back home, and for some peculiar reason she was not sure that she was glad. She had made a success of her teach ing and Professor Thompson had been unstinted in ids praise of her work. The parent-teachers decided to give a parting banquet in honor of them selves and to commemorate a most successful year’s work. Marion put on her best evening dress and looked her stunuingest as she sot beside Profes sor Thompson at the long table. Mrs. gurton rose and began to make a speech. “This banquet.” she said, “is In honor of Miss.Caruthers. Everything on the table has been prepared by a northern woman we coaxed over from Delton and the recipes all came out of a northern cook book. We wanted just once to do something down south as they do it up north, and—” "Oh, forgive me,” interrupted Mar ion. jumping up. “1 see it all now, but 1 never realized how tactless it was. That's what’s l>een the matter. What a little beast I've been! Would it help to make amends now if I tell you 1 love the South and the people and the cooking and everything, and ■ I did so want them to love me. If you ever hear roe >ay up north again 1 hope you'll run me out of the county. That's what -f deserve, anyway," Flushed and breathless, she dropped into her chair again. "Yes. Pro Certain Miss Caruthera feels every word she's said about lik ing the South and all that." said Pro fessor Hamilton, rising, "l►ecuuse she— •he’a going to marry a down-souther— she’s going to mary me!"

Had absolutely no experi ence.'* Their comments were cut short by the entrance of Marion and they all hurried into the dining room. "Biscuits?” said- Marian quizzically at the dinner table. "Up north we have bread—bake Wednesdays and Saturdays." ™T*m sorry we have none,” said the professor quietly. "And you serve string beans with pork,” Marion went on in amazement. "I never saw that before.” By the time the meal was over Mrs. Thompshn felt that somehow her well- cooked dinner had fallen short of the mark. It was very disappointing—She had worked so hard.

"You know,” she said to Profassor . *, Thompson that Friday afternoon as they left the building together, "most of the boys and girls I have are old enough to be in the graduation class Instead of second year. Up north they would be.”. ‘'Perhaps so,” he answered patiently.
