j - m - r ft - - THE MORNING ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1907. Cupid's Bargain By LLSLIE HOLMES. Copyright, i;7, by C IL Sutcllfh. 'But, my dear" Interposed Auut Ella, reaching for bcr handkerchief. Beth Grahaui resumed her interrupt ed monologue. "I uever saw aa advertisement which balanced so tidily with one's qualifica tions 'Wauted, services of a capable young woman for few hours dally. Must be well educated, hare pleasant manners, a gift for conversation andl make a good appearance. No experi ence necessary, but large acquaintance desirable. Apply to the Interborough Realty Co., Street Now, 1 hav the education. Behold my diploma from Mme. Collingwood's select school. Thanks to my bringing up by the best aunt in the world, I bare the reputa tion of being well mannered.' I am considered chatty without being a bore. My new tailored suit gives me the good appearance demanded. Certainly I have no experience, but a lot of ac quaintances." Mrs. Graham mopped her eyes dili gently. ;l cannot bear to think of you, a Graham of Graham Center, going into business. Now, there are my cameos cameos are in style again. Beth" The girl laid a slender white hand over her aunt's trembling lips and spoke with sternness not entirely af-' fected. i "Aunty, dear, never again speak In that way of our precious family heir-1 looms. So long as they are In the safe j deposit vault I shall feel that the Gra-i ham honor is saved. I intend to an-; nrer that advertisement" An hour later the secretary of the Interborough Realty company looked with relief into the fresh, high bred! face of the last of the Graham Center Grahams, who. thanks to the collapse of the bank, was looking for a po sition in which experience was not de manded. The secretary of the com pany, like all men of his class, ques tioned the girl so cleverly that she had told the story of her inexperience and needed long before he unfolded the re quirements of tbes position. Then be leaned back la his chair and remarked: "I think youll do, Miss Graham. We hare plotted ninety acres on the Ches ter turnpike, and we're going to boom the site as the Holllngworth Terrace. We've got the Transit Construction company interested in the deal, and they will build houses on the Install ment plan. We have some wide awake chaps on the ground, but we are plan ning a series of excursions, and we think a bright woman with the gift of saying the right thing at the right minute could put through many a sale, particularly with men. Now, such work is generally done on a commission basis, but you're rather up against It and we'll pay you fifteen a week and expenses and give you a month to make good." He touched an electric button and said to the answering boy: "Send In Mr. Langhorne. He's the working head of the Transit Construc tion company and a promising young man. You'll probably have considera ble dealing with him. Langhorne, this Is Miss Graham. She's going to help us out at Hollingwortn Terrace.", And thus, with a sweeping gesture, did the secretary of the Interborough Realty company settle Beth Graham's entrance Into the business world. Fifteen dollars a week! Why, they would have to let even Emma, the cook, go. She would probably wear out many shoes, too. tramping over Holllngworth Terrace. And then a mel low masculine voice broke in upon her reflections, and she found a very good looking young man, with Irish blue eyes that smiled right Into burs, tandlng at attention, some pamphlets In his hand. "Perhaps you would like to look over some of our literature before you Join us on the first excursion tomorrow?' "Tomorrow?" echoed Beth. ' It seem ed so dreadfully near, this earning of dally bread for herself and Aunt Ellen. But she .smiled and accepted the books. Half an hour later It seemed to her as If Holllngworth Terrace must be a sort of paradise for small sal aried people and that she, In selling homes to them, would be a veritable angel of mercy. The next day she felt differently. The first excursion was not exactly a uccess. The air was heavy with m!st, and Hollingworth Terrace seemed a wilderness of surveyors, steam rollers, sewer pipes and tired teams, dragging great loads, of building materials through unfinished streets. In one of the half finished houses t colored, man, served, hot coffee awl Doctors Say "Use Conoersrllle, Ind., Feb. 16, lint. D. D. D. Co., Chicago. I ww homed with Facial Neuralgia.

After the bus hud taken the few visitors back to the station Hofli. seated on it plaster er's horses, studied orltlcnlly' the tluy reception hall, while Lnnulmrue, perch ed ou a window neat, studied the tfti'l and wondered why some women looked smart and trie even In a cntveuettf coat and a soft felt bat. "These early spring days niv so uu certain," she was saying. "I wish there was a fireplace In that comer. You could Just as well build one, for the chimney runs up there from the parlor. Then we'd have a rtuapplug. sparkling fin- that would make the whole house seem charming. I Wlleve we'd make a sale, rain orehliw." "But the fireplaces would add to the cost of the houses,' said langhorne doubtfully. "And make prospective customers overlook some other defects in ymii houses. I noticed you have no back stairs. Now, every suburban house wife likes separate stairs for her out servant She Is much more puuctlliom tn such matters than the city house keeper." "Eh what?" exclaimed LnnghonH curiously. "Yes, and you should have utlllr.iv that wasted space for a closet for n:! ber coats, umbrellas, overslrns. ettv womau will f:ill for n couple of con venicnt closets wheu stained il:ws w'u dows and artistic tiling are lost tipov ber " Lanrruorne was nil utteuilon uow. "I didn't sur-pose that a city glr' would notice things so closely." "1 began life In a vHIhko." said Bell quietly. "Besides, if 1 mu to beip yon sell these places I must believe In them, and I cannot believe in them unless they are right" Before the next excursion day rolled around Beth had examined every house under way. and her suggestions for small alterations that would appeal tc the feminine mind were received with respect Furthermore, all plans for new houses were brought to her be fore the work was commenced. Holllngworth Terrace became the cen ter around which everything moved, and Aunt Eileu studied plans and of fered suggestions to young Langhorne, who had taken to bringing drawings to the coxy Graham flat So far simple cottages costing $5,000 or less had been erected. Now thoy were planning more ambitions residence and plotting the most valuable site of their holdings, a broad knoll that overlooked the river and surrounding country. Here in the heart of a cluster of pines was to be a bouse of old English design, with high gables, sloping roof and quaint Interior finish. Beth watch ed those plans grow with jealous care. She selected the timbers for finishing the celling of the reception hall, living room and dining room. The fireplaces she and Langhorne designed from pic tures of English country houses. The excursions were heavily patron ized now. Sales were made while Beth'a back was turned. Holllngworth Terrace was booming beyond the fond est hopes of Its founders. Beth often came in from her calls on prospective customers to ask anxiously, "Has The Lodge been taken?" They had named the house of their own planning The Lodge, nothing more, and somehow she felt that she should hate the man who bought It One night when Langhorne dropped in to call he did not Imk her in the eye. He talked about any and every subject but Ilolllnfc-worth Terrace, and Beth knew that The Lodge had been sold. "You might as well fess up," she said, with pretended gayety. He nodded his head. "Yes. We withdrew The Lodge from the market at 4 this afternoon" "Who 'bought It, and, oh, do you think they will dare to put Turkish rugs In that old English living room'' "Oh, no. I assure you he'll have nothing but hand woven rugs, Just as you suggested" "Well, that Is some comfort," the girl murmured. "If he has taste I can forgive him. What sort of a man is he, married or single?" "Single, but he bought It hoping that a certain girl would share It with him." "Was she with him? Ia she a nice girl? Do you think she will appreciate it?" demanded Beth breathlessly. "You know I simply love that fireplace in the ha ill" Langhorne rose abruptly and paced ffie floor. Suddenly he paused before her chair, his lips -firm, his blue eyes ablaze with a light she had never seen there before ' - "Do you think could you make up your mind to sit beside that fireplace always with me?" She looked up at him, her breath coming In short, nervous gasps, her eyes wide and startled.

"But to roftw ?H,!W0 for It! Oh, Teddy! That was downright rock less!" she murmured later. "Oh, I don't know," replied Lang horne, regaining (iosbwsIou of her hand.

These people know themselves as Arabs and desceudunts of those val iant upholders of the prophet's green standard who swept like a flood across north Africa at tho time of the begirt. The Morocco of the present day they found possessed by a sturdy race who claimed descent from the people who were cast out of Canaan by Joshua, the aon of Nun. Their country, so far as Its platus were coucerned, was tak en from them by the Arabs, and their fighting strength was made to serve the Arab cause In the conquest of Spain. They themselves gradually took to the mountains, to the great Atlas. Here they have remained ever since, speaking their own language, main taining their own customs and racial attributes and obstinately refusing to be absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the plHlns. These people are the Ber lers. Their tongue Is called Shtlhah. Literature they have none, In the or dinary sense of the word,, but they have a rich store of oral tradition myth, legeud and folklore.
