A Story For' All
hallow Eve
IY LILLIAN WENTZ
YoutiB Cornclltm Itnbcoclc Bottled Ills
noektio nnd thrust In its crlnwon foldfl
tlio mock tunjiiolso Hcnrfpln liu lml
bought nt Levy's on Ills wny home
from work thnt nlfiht. Then lio stood
awny nnd ndmlrcd the snowy white
ness of the rubber collar thnt looked
ernctly like linen nnd saved tunny n
lnundry bill by Its deceptive Riilso; he
stroked the plossy smoothness of his
olive Rrecn striped suit: ho stuck out
n neat foot nttlred in n pnlo bluo sock
nnd shiny pntent leather pumps and
smili-d with satisfaction. It would be
a rrltlcnl maiden, Indeed, who would
not look with fnvor upon Mr, Hnbcoek
in this festal nrrny, for lie had health
and youth nnd n measure of pood
looks. He was B!iitf to a pnrty, nnd
he wns In love. It showed In bis fare
ami in his eyes.
Suddenly he reached into nn obscure
corner of the bureau drawer nnd drew
forth a tiny box. Krom this box there
Issued n smnll.sold rliiK, set with u
chenp red stone. Cornelius Rnzcd on
It with quickened breath. He hnd
planned to wear It on his little IlitKcr
that night. She would nsk him about
It, nnd he would ask her to wear It If
she wanted to. It nil seemed so sim
ple na bo hnd plnnned it. nnd now be
scarcely dared place It on his hnnd.
Suddenly It found place on his tinner,
nnd the stone Unshed as he lifted a
hand and turned out the gas.
As he strode through the dining room,
where the elder Cornelius sat reading
the evening pnper. his mother's voice
halted bis steps.
"Where you going. Corny? My, but
jou'ro dressed up!" She benmed nt
blm over her spectacles.
Ills father lifted n shnggy gray Meud
and surveyed his son with apparent
scorn. "What you rigged like a nigger
minstrel for?" ho growled contemptu
ously. Cornelius writhed inwardly. His
face Hushed, and ho shimmered con
fusedly. "I'm going to n party. I
guess I won't bo home till late. Mary
Finn's giving n Halloween pnrty."
Tlio Finns lived In upper New York,
nnd on this pnrtlculnr night their smiill
tint wns filled to overflowing with n
merry company of young people.
AH sorts of paper decorntlons hung
from tlio walls and chandeliers. Jack-o'-lanterns
were suspended In the door
wnys nnd swayed grlnningly as tall
heads passed to and fro. In a circle of
luugblng young men nnd girls Mary
Finn wbb outlining her program for
tlio evening's fun.
"We'll tell fortunes by melting lend
and dropping It In, cold water, and we
can roast chestnuts on the gas stove.
There's it tub of water nnd apples to
duck for in the kitchen, nnd nfterwnrd
you peel tho npples nnd throw the pnr
lug over your shoulder, It curls into
the Initial of the one you'ro going to
marry! It does!" Mary blushed charm
ingly, nnd Cornelius Intercepted her
audio and took It to himself.
"And what else. Mary?" A broad
shouldered young man with n shock
of thick, dnrk hnlr moved forwnrd and
obstructed Cornelius' view of Mary
Finn.
"It's for us girls to do," giggled
Mary. "Wo let down our hair nt mid
night and tako n lighted cnndle nnd a
hundghiss and walk bnckwnrd around
tho houso threo times. Only this bo
lug a lint we'll havo to walk up nnd
down the ball. I guess. If you're "ever
going to get married you'll boo tho
face of your future busbnnd In tho
glass."
"Do you bellevo thnt, Mnry?" nsked
a thin faced girl sharply. "You seem
to tako It like It wns dend earnest
but"
i "Ask my mother," returned Mnry
proudly, nnd genial Mrs. Finn nodded
complacently.
"It's true, ain't it Michael?" she
asked of Mr. Finn, who murmured as
sent "I saw Mlko ns plain ns could
be looking over my shoulder, nnd I
mnrrled blm. didn't I? Don't be bo
skeptical, Kitty; It ain't healthy. Keep
young and foolish as long ns you cnn."
Tho thin faced Kitty smiled politely
and snt down nenr Cornelius. "Things
don't come like thnt do they?" she
asked him. "I mean tho things you
want to happen don't come so ensy.
You have to work to mnko 'em come
right"
J'I-I don't know, 1 never thought
much about It." admitted Cornelli.'.
conscious that ho had been wildly iuy
ing that some reflection of his face
uilglit be projected upon Mary Finn's
mirror.
"Humph!" ejaculated Kitty scorn
fully as she moved awny.
It wns n delightful evening. There
were much fun and merriment over tho
fortune telling nnd tho npple ducking.
Cornelius was lifted to heights of bliss
when Mary's paring dropped over her
shoulder nnd formed a distinct B for
Babcock, of course. But he wns plung
ed to ?hfPiwest depths when be learn
ed that the broad shouldered young
tnnn's name wns Brady Christopher
Brndy so he stood nn equal chance
with Cornelius.
But the hour of midnight was to bo
tho crucial test of future pnrtnors
for life, Apple parings might fall in
to nil sorts of angles thnt would be
mteUkaD or construed Into aoy dulred
letters, but a face In n mirror surely
ench countennnce bore its own tils
Unction, nnd there could be nothing
but plain magic in that test
CornelliiM grew hot and cold ns tho
nour approached. Ho' bad senrouly n
word with Mnry Finn, so nbsorbed wum
she In her duties ns hostess.
At ten minutes before midnight tho
girls withdrew to n bedroom, from
whence Issued much giggling and push
lng about and sudden shrieks of laugh
tor Mrs. Finn ambled to and fro I"
friendly banter with tho wnltlng young
men In the parlor.
"No cheating, boys," she warned, her
voice shrill above tho vigorous singing
of Mr. Christopher Brady at the piano.
They laughed good nnturedly nnd Join
ed In the chorus of "She Snld She Lov
ed Me. but Now ,3he Loves Another
Follow," and something In the nlr stuck
In Cornelius' memory nnd could not be
eradicated for many a day.
"I don't see where we fellows get
any fun out of It all," growled Mr.
Brady, whirling around on the stool.
"I wonder If I couldn't let down my
hnlr nnd run nrouud with n hnnd mir
ror what do you think I'd see, eh?"
"You'd seo n conceited puppy I" Jolted
Mr. Finn, slapping Mr. Brady's broad
shoulders with easy familiarity. "Let
me whisper n secret, Chris exeuse me,
gents" he bent down nnd whispered
In Mr. Brady's red ear, whllo that gen
tleman nodded mirthfully.
"Sure. I'll do It. I'm on. I thought
ninybo there wns something more!
Have a cigar. Mr. Finn." He followed
Mary's father into the kitchen, and
Cornelius sat silently alone, envying
the easy manners of the big Mr. Brndy
and bis npparent Intlmncy with tlio
Finns. Did this friendliness portend
some bond between Christopher Brndy
nnd Mnry Finn? '
Cornelius grew wretched ns the tltno'j
passed. Mnry n? "t soon mnke her
test of fate in the gloomy hall. When
would he know If It was his own face
she had jieon over her shoulder? Would
she tell it to the assembled company
or would she acknowledge It. by blush
ing when his questioning glanco sought
hers? Desperately ho calculated tho
chances that fate held for him. nnd ho
admitted they were very few Indeed.
Everything lie had ever gained he hnd
hnd to struggle for, ns had his father
before blm. He hnd fought tooth and
nail for his position ns olllce boy In
the beginning, nnd he hnd fought his.
wny up to his position ns sldpplng
clerk by sheer force of will nnd pluck.
In his prnctlcnl experience he had
novor called upon luck or fortune or
fnto to aid blm In his climb, no Just
planned what be wanted and then
worked up to It It had proved n
good method in the past
Now ho wanted Mnry Finn. If be
won her It must be by bis usual meth
ods. Ho must not trust to chnnco nor
to any other doubtful menus. There
was no time to fool with luck or tho
magic sorceries of Ilnllowecn. Ho
must hnve Mnry Finn In spite of
magic, in spile of Christopher Brady.
In spite of everything.
Then It was that n daring thought
enme to Cornelius Bnbcock dnring be
cnuse ho was unaccustomed to Ijm
trlguo or fighting in the dark, nnd this
game called for darkness. Leagued,
against blm were Christopher Brady
nnd his intlmncy with the Finns, nnd
also on the opposing stde were the
chances thnt Cornelius would not win.
So ho resolved to fight for what he
wanted for Mary Finn.
Mr. Finn entered the parlor and lift
ed a hand to the chandelier. "I'll be
dousing tho light boys," ho warned.
"Everything's got to bo dark as your
hat Out she goes!"
In the thick velvety blackness that
followed, Cornelius stepped, swift as
a cat, across 'the floor to the door that
led into the corridor. It was ajar and
hopushed It open, slid nround It and
entered the hnll where bo felt his way
Into the embrasure of another door and
waited, his heart pounding heavily.
Mary Finn would soon como down
tho hall, her fair hnlr swinging loose,
her sweet faco peering In tho mirror's
depths for the face of her true lore.
And Cornelius would bo there, looking
over her shoulder, his eyes nnetlii
hers In the candlelight settling their
futures nt one blow.
A door opened, nnd with mutlled
shrieks n slender form enmo Into viow
holding a lighted candle before her. It
was Mary Finn!
Christopher held his breath as sho
ndvnncod. Sho looked so much like nn
ungel, with the mist of hnlr nbout her
shoulders nnd her eyes fixed timidly
on tho glfiKR. that ho almost forgot tho
rolo ho had selected to piny.
As she nppronched his hiding plnco
Cornelius brnced himself to overcome
the shyness that began to steal over
him. Here wns his opportunity ;o fore
stall tho goddess of chnnce ho would
win Mnry Finn In spite of mnglc!
As she pnssed he ten tied forwnrd
nnd peered over tier shoulder Just ns
n dnrk shock bend leaned froLS tho
opposite doorwny to perforin thesntno
service. Their bends humped vigor
ously, were withdrawn nnd then met
In growling threats. Mnry Finn turn
ed with n frightened cry. 5
"Whatever Is the matter? Why-y!"
Sho stared at tho two rivals with
mirthful eyes, '
"Did you seo my faco. Mary?" snap
ped Cornelius sharply, nwnre that
he hnd suddenly nttnined mnnhood.
"Didn't you seo my faco llrst?"
She flushed and nodded with down
cast eyes. In the gloom her hand stole
Into Cornelius outstretched palm.
"Ah-h-h." growled Mr. Christopher
Brndy sourly. "You saw my faco In
the glass too! How about mo. eh?"
"Mnylm you're going to be my sec
ond husband. Chris If anything hnp
pens to Corny but I hopo nothing hap
pens!" And Mr. Brndy hnd to be satisfied
