TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1908 TIIE MORNING ASTOH IAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. Chadwick's Choice. 3y JAffEr GHECO. Copyrighted, m, , i,y Associated Literary lri, After ton years of frld bacon and mlt pork tbe peudulum swung to Ita opposite Ktromo for David Chad wick. I lia goddess of fcrtiuie, whom he hud long wooed in valo, now turned bar face with truly feminine caprice. From bacon aud corn bread Dave had been advanced almoMt overnight to a New lork hotel, whore bla day'a board would have bought provisions for a aiontu durlug bla prospecting period. Aud atlll Have waa not aatlafled. lie Sid not like what be termed "fussy" fowl, mid the very length of the bill f fare deprived him of hi appetite. Then It waa that Noll Norton came m an angel of deliverance and led him to her home In the auburba, where Have devoured all that waa put before dim and rejoiced In the absence of a bill of fare. "! .don't suppose that tbla modwt meal wljl appi-al to you," in Id Nell with ostentatious niodesly. "We are plnln people out here, and after your trnnd hotel It must aeem aklmpy, but when I aaw you on the avenue I said to inymdf. 'I'll M that's Dave Chudwlik, ami I'm going to ask him homo, uo matk'r what ho may think.' You haven't changed a mite, Dave, since you left Lawrence." Now, it la pli-nMiit for a man who reullxoa that be I beginning to look old to lie told that be doea not differ in appeaium after itfteeu yeara, and for the flrst time Dave decided that Nell waa looking remarkably young herself. He could not know that Nell bad carefully atudled the uumeroua pic ture of the new Croeaua Id the news-pnjH-re and bad haunted the vicinity of lil hotel for daya In-fore ahe had liiemintered blm, apparently by chance. In front of the place. The Hortona bad known Dave la bla early life, before be bed gone went to ewk and eventually find fortune. When the paper had taken up the newly made multimillionaire, aa the week before they had taken up the Bewly born baby elephant of the cir cuit, Nell bad read all the atorlea and bad determined that Dave and bla mil lions ahoukl become her property, "tin. atu aj i ....!" .1... told her mother.

It waa a. hmg, trip uptown, and luuch of hla courage had oozed away when at last be found blmaelf on the Hortona' atoop. He waa rather glad tbat the maid came to the door. It waa a certain algn that Nell waa not borne, elae aha would "have ruahed to the door with oatontatlous welcome, riila little raald ba decidedly approved f. . . .. .,... ; Tboy will ba back la an hour," aald the girl. "Tbey have only gone down town on a ahopplng tour, and they will be ao aorry to have missed you. Won't you wait?" Chadwlck hesitated and waa lout o went Into the little parlor and picked out the moat comfortable chair. Tbo girl pauiied at the door. "Can I get you anything before I tor aho asked aollcltoualy, "The morning paper la upatalrs. I can get It la a moment." "I'd rather talk," aald Chadwlck comfortably, He waa hungry for con Cental companionship, and the little maid waa veiy different from Neil. Sometime Dave grew a little Ured of Noll and ber bold (lattery, "I can't atop," cried the girt. "It U baking day, and I have the oven full." "When Mini Iiortbn doea all tbo eooklngr reminded Chadwlck. "I ball have to investigate." lie bad been ao frequent a caller tbat be knew from which door Nell was accustomed to put la aa appearance, bar aleevea rolled up and an adorable dab or flour on ber aaucy chin. Ig noring the frightened proteate of tbo little maid, be puabed hla way Into the kitchen. In her embaitaaetuent Dora bad for- j gotten tbat Nell bad claimed the cook ery for ber own and that upon tbla talent abe bad counted for the winning or Chadwlck. Now tbat the cat waa out of tbo bag the probabllitlea were tbat Nell would turn ber cousin Into the atreet Sue Inherited a abrewlah temper from her mother, and Dora knew. tbat the two women would be Implacable. Chadwlck miffed the aplcy odors and turned to the glrL "So you are the fairy of the' kitch en r be said. "Nell doea all the work. I lust watch tbo things when abe goes down town," denied Dora baaUly. Chadwlck put one finger under the dimpled chin and raised the face that be might look straight Into tbo gray eyea, "Look me atralgbt In tbe fact and uy that again," he commanded. Tbo long lashes foil over the troubled eyea aa Dora struggled to make ber de alal convincing. Chadwlck laughed. "Look bore," be aald aa he released her chin. "1 came out bcre today to ask tbe band of the woman who bad made me comfortable. It la not tbat I cared ao much about what I bad to tat. It la not that I can get a dinner here without having to fight three waltora and the maltro d'botel. That wasn't what appealed to me, though they do say that the way, to a man'e heart is through bla stomach. That ounda funny, but really a man doesn't marry Just a cook. "I wanted the woman who of all the million people In thla big town cared inough for old friendship to come and from tbe maltre and the parrots to toll? that Is the pride of Philadelphia.'

The men who wore promoting hla syndicate Insisted that bo must not removo from the hotel to a boarding house where his simpler needs could bo suited, and It was ouly at the Hortona that ho could escape that terrible menu card, with Ita res taurant French and Its overrlch auuees. He did not always want steaks and roasts, and the knowledge that there were good things on the bill which be could not translate only added to hlr. dissatisfaction. It was after un especially trying meal at the hotel that Dave armed himself with a box of violets and sal lied forth to propose to Nell. He had slowly come to the conclusion that Nell was no longer as young aa ahe pretended to be, but she offered escape from the hotel, and he was. sick, of the rescue mo menu.
