THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1910 EVENING EDITION. Won by a Dinner By DELIA V. AMES Copyright. 1910. by Amtrlc.nn Press Association. Edsnr Norland, tlinujjh a bachelor, jvns u Biiiloror Iroin t lit servant tiies tlou. tie lived nlone In apartments, n cook nnl a ninld respectively providing lila meals and taking care of his rooms. He had told the maid that she must be lu by 11 o'clock at night, and she had departed. lie had carelessly left it bot tle of 1SA3 brandy unlocked, and this hod deprived him of tils cook, for she bad drunk It all, and It was necessary to remove her. Mr. norland's stom ach was very delicate and cuuld stand nothing but homo cooking. Mr. Borland that morning had taken his breakfast In his room n boiled egg. which was the extent of his own culinary accomplishments. He had gone without his luncheon and was now ruefully wondering what he should do for dinner, lie caught sight of his face In a mirror and there saw a sour, dyspeptic look that mado him fhlver. At that moment the bell rang. no opened the door. There stood a young woman decorated with n wid ow's cap, holding by the hand a little girl of Ave. "Is this my Hat?" asked the lady. "I wish It were," replied norland rue fully. "But Isn't It?" "I hold n lease of It." "What lloor Is this?" "The sixth." "Cast or west suit?" "East." "There! I told you so! That's tho flat 1 leased from today. Oct 1." Mr. Borland stood thinking. It oc curred to him that ho had said some thing to the agent about giving up his Apartments, but nothing definite. "Madame." he said, "can you cook?" "Yes. But what baa that got to do Willi It?" "I'm hungry. If you wish to get anything out of a man never mnko tho attempt whllo his stomach Is emp ty. Come In here and cook tnc n din ner and we'll talk nbout who Is tho Jcssco of tho apartments afterward." "The very thing. I haven't had a blto since breakfast, and my little girl la starving. We tiro to move early to morrow, and our present quarters aro In n horrible condition." Mr. Borland had plenty In his larder, ao there was nothing for the widow to do but go Into tho kitchen, open tho lecbor and tnko out the principal vi ands for a dinner. Borland took tho little girl Into his library, selected books with pictures for her nnd loft lior Immured In them. Then bo went to a closet nnd took out n bottle of wine, and tho Indy In tho kitchen heard that sound, agreeable nt any time, but cepeutully so before dinner, tho draw ing of n cork. Presently tho lady In tho kitchen oponed tho door leading Into tho din ing room for tho purpoeo of going in to set the tablo. Borland wau placing wineglasses. "Anything wanting?" bo asked, look ing at her doubtfully, "Only napkins, forks, salt nnd pep per nnd, plates for tho salud." "That reminds rue lo you llko may onnaise?" "I prefer It to all other kinds of dressing." "Very well. I'll make n mayonnaise. That's the only thing In tho prepara tion of food that I can do well, and I do that to perfection." By the tlmo tho dressing was fin ished the dinner was ready. Tho wid ow placed It on tho table. Borland put some books on a chair to make n higher scat for tho little girl, and tho host and cook took scats opposite each other. As Borland began to oat tho sour, dyspeptic look left bis face, his cyo brightened and u smile hovered upon hU lips, filling the lady'a glass, ho raised his own to his Up and held it poised, while be said; "I drink to the best dinner I'vo eaten in years and to tho moat accomplished chef. Your health, Mrs." "Greenougb." "Tho devil!" "I said (Ireenough." "What UreenougU?' "Edith Sherman (Jrecnougu or Mrs. James 0. (Jrcenough. whichever you llko." "The devil!" repented Borland, set ting down his ghiHs, rising from his feat, lennlng over the table nnd grasp 'iug the widow's hand. "Not nt nil; Edith nroennugh." 'Mini tirtViiniiEh'x widow' By Jovel "What a enlneldeueej" "You nre" "Edgar Borland." "What! My husband's bosom friend?" "Tho same." "Oh. dear! Isn't It funny?" "Funuy! Why, your coming hero nt all was n godsend to me, but your be ing my old chum's widow Is delight ful. My servants nro gone, uud 1 was starving." "How pleasant for mo too. I hnta restaurants. I was expecting to go to bed on crackers and cheese." "Rnther u hard bed to sleep on." When tho dinner was llnlslied Bor land lighted a elgur nnd said: "Well. I decllue to vacate." The widow looked surprised. "1 will give you tho lease If you like, but you must keep me as well." Nevertheless Borland moved out tho next morning, ami the widow moved In. But ho moved back again within six months ns Mrs. Qreeuough's hus band. Ho says that he was won by a dinner, nnd he admits he uecded the dinner badly. 4 taxa&irasjiraiu LmKKKxiivmvsffi7mstmisrusvi -.r.-r. tsxiMxrsiai' H' Ten More ShoDDinsr Davs B UZ, , rvil1i0f Tte Best Place on VV.v .

You see I'm displaying the goods under the clear white rays of this wonderful new General Electric Mazda Lamp. It's really the equivalent of daylight, and that's why all up-to-date stores are using it. Of course there are also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G-E Mazda Lamp gives twice the light of the ordinary car bon incandescent lamp and costs less to burn." The invention of the Mazda Lamp has caused thous ands of people to have their houses and stores wired for electric light. If you are not now using it, come in for a moment to-day and let us prove to your entire satisfaction that this wonderful new lamp has made electric light as cheap as it is convenient Coos Bay Gas & Electric Co. i-n-n--ti--na-K-a-ji-ii-a-.j(-tj.HKa-tt---a-tt--a2 Beaver Hill Coal MOUNT DIABLO AND JOSSON CEJEBNT.
