"Find me." 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

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. ,
