Orvllle commanded, "the most isolated farmhouse In your dis trict, where I can have comfortable ac commodations for the summer and in no way be hampered In the creation of the book that at present exists in em bryo within my brain." After much skirmishing and scouring of the country Murray found what he thought he wanted and wrote his friend to come on. On-llle came by next train. Murray met him at the station In his big rod car, and they sped down a broad, dust white highway. "Looks thickly settled," objected Or vllle anxiously. ' "We have only started on our road to nowhere. laughed Murray. "I'll cure you of your desire for solitude, think Six miles farther he turned Into crossroad with farmhouses few and far between.-' : This Is better declared Ovule. "It will keep getting better from your standpoint, retorted Murray. On they sped until the car swerved and turned into what looked to Orvllle like an overgrown copse. "You don't mean this Is a roedr he said as the car bumped and protested sgalnst the ruts and underbrush. "No; Just a lane, the only bouse on which Is the one where I have engaged SS TA.VBKO BXFOB1 IT VOB BOMS TIKI. quarters for you. The Gllddens live there, but rent out their ground,. so there will be no 'help' even Just Gild- den and his wife; not a rural route de livery to break the monotony. I be lieve a peddler passes once a year. Ton can be lost to the world and, like the little girl in the song, have 'nobody nigh to hinder.' " Murray, this place was made for me!" ejaculated the young author as the car swooped down upon a white house nestled among the trees. Murray helped blm carry bis belong ings Into the big airy bedroom and then returned to town, with a curious smile lighting his face. The place proved ideal for Orvllle's purpose. The farmer ana nig wire were aulet people, little given to speech. They never disturbed blm when be was at work even to the ex tent of summoning him to a meal. When hunger drove him from his work, no matter what the hour might be, food was prepared without an objec tion. A beautiful winding river with incurving shores swept through the farm, and here at eve Dick Orvllle was wont to repair for Inspiration. Un der these blissful conditions his Ideas developed and unfolded charmingly. Then there came the Inevitable ending. I am sorry," faltered his landlady one morning, "but Hiram went to the poetoffice today, and he found a letter from a young lady in the city. She is an artist and wants to come here to paint and to be alone.'' "Well, write to her that she can't come," replied Orvllle quickly. "I'll pay you double" "Ifs too late," said Mrs. Glldden. You see, the letter was written a week ago. We don't get our malronly once In awhile. She said If she didn't bear to the contrary she'd come today. But 11 try and find her another place near here. The Allans take boarders. I may have to keep her overnight if she comes. Would you like to hear ner letter?" Before he could politely decline this proffer Mrs. Glidden began to read the letter, which was girlishly written. She said that she longed for a place where she could be quiet, some place that was remote from neighbors, where she could paint and dream at will; that a friend In paBsing the Glldden farm had thought it would be Just the kind of place she craved and bad written her about it. Some of Orvllle's irritation vanished upon hearing the letter. There was a note of appeal In it, a reflection of his own mood, that touched him. - - "She evidently craves solitude as much as I do and so she will avoid me," he thought ' - "We might try it, Mrs. Glldden," he proposed, "and if I find her presence Interrupts my work in any way we can Ask Mrs. Allen to take ber In. They have other boarders, and I Imagine she wouldn't get the quiet there that she so evidently wants. I'll tell you what I'll do. m move my writing table and books and things down to the little cabin on the river bank and do my work there... .-v-'V v He proceeded to carry out thts plau aud remained in his new quarters the rest of the day. It was dusk when ho came to the farmhquse for something to eat '. . v "She's upstairs, volunteered Mrs. Glldden, ' "She's awfully young and pretty. I told her I bad a gentleman boarder who came here to be alone, and, she said she wouldn't disturb you tn the least" v . But Orvllle wasn't Interested in hear ing or toe newcomer. ills mind was Intent on a complicated situation tn his book, and he paid no beed to what bis landlady was saying. , v. Three days and nights intervened without an encounter of the two would be hermits. Once Orvllle came upon an easel down in the orchard. Be paused before it for some time, lost in admi ration of the talent displayed. Then he walked on to the river. That night be was unable to write. Memories he was striving to stifle were awakened by the bit of landscape he had viewed. The next morning as be was seated at his writing table in the cabin mak ing heroic efforts to concentrate his thoughts on his work, he heard the sound as of some one running. , He went to the door and saw a young girl carrying a tin pall filled with artist's materials running toward the cabin in great alarm. ' -v- "Oh," sho gasped, with a half sob, "save me. He'll follow me in beret" In an Instant Orvllle's strong right arm was about her shivering form. "Katniei would I let any one or anything harm your She lifted a white face. "Oh, Dick! Ton? Why-you are not Mrs. GUdden's boarder the one I've been biding from?" "Tee; but tell me, what frightened your . .- "The bull! lie chased me down here through the meadows. Orvllle placed her in a chair and stepped outside. In a moment be re turned with the pc.Il of paints and brushes. , It's all right Kathle he said reas suringly; "the pall, supposed to con tain nourishment was the attraction. The gentle creature I found sniffing suspiciously and disapprovingly at your paints was a young, hornless thing commonly known as a mulley cow." Kathle's eyes were downcast The silence that ensued was profound and eloquent Then she looked up and met his steady gaze with a half smile. "Dick," she said faintly, "did Tom Murray by any chance know you were herer "Tom Murray! Why, be found me this place. I wrote blm to look me up farmhouse where I could be quite alone and write, why?" "I saw him the other day and told blm I wanted a farmhouse where 1 could be quite alone and paint Dick!" "Dear, Tom was far wiser than we. Shall we profit by his vision and lei his plan work out as he Intended': Can't we forgive and forget Kathle?" Later, when Mrs. Glldden saw bei two boarders coming slowly up from the fields she sagely remarked to bet spouse; Well, pa, that's a man and a wom an the world over!"

"I came across a queer little drug store the other dny," said the city sales man. "It makes a specialty of vet erinarian prescriptions. According to the proprietor's own account, they don't spII very much Id that store except horse medicine. They sell more of that tban any other drug store In town. The neighborhood abounds in stables And animals' hospitals, and most of the drugs used In doctoring sick horses are bought at that store. Of course the place Is fitted up with the usual drug store paraphernalia. There is a soda water fountain, a cigar stand, postage stamps can be purchased there and drafts and doses for human beings will be compounded upon request, but those familiar and supposedly primary func tions of a drug store are In this case a superfluity, because about all that drug gist does Is to put up cures for equine aIlments,-New York Press. , Explaining His Position.
