San Iranclsco, cI. BOY'S LOVE Ey Forrester I Copyrlslit, 1001, by Iiola Forrester "Arc you colli?" Ho nsketl the qnos tlon politely but not solicitously. Ench time bo bad vrnllcpd to tbo top of the little sand dune nnd bnck ngulu to tbo lone figure sitting In Bilcnt dignity among tbo straggly sword grasses nnd sand cherries be bait asked tbe snnie question with the same result. "Thanks; not at all," said .Tennnctte without removing her gaze from the blot of Ink splashed on the lake's sun set stained breast far to the westward that represented Mncatnwn Island. "Are you hungry?" "No." The other times he had gone away to his solitary lookout point when she had uttered that frozen negative. Kow he paused and took another look nt her. She was cold. She must bo cold In that lacy, foolish, exqululto excuse for n rational garment which she wore. It was nearly 7, and there had sprung up SUE GLANCED VV INDIGNANTLY. n fresh, cool lake breeze since the sun shot Its last crimson shaft above the pines of the mainland shore. He was cold with his coat nnd sweater on. "If only she would give some sign of weakening!" he thought and then caught a glimpse of her profile the up lifted rebellious chin and the short up per lip, the straight little nose, with its delicious tendency to tilt heavenward, and the fluttering wisps of straying i curls that the wind tossed where it pleased and his foot ground an unof-1 fending clump of aspiring clover in the 1 snnd. t If she had never kissed him, it would i have been another matter, hut she had not once; he could distinctly re member several times. And they were riot cousinly kisses either. Elennoi kissed him in a cousinly fashion friendly, mild little shies nt Ids chin or eyebrow when he had a birthday or left for college, but Jean had been different different over since lie could remember, when, a thin, big eyed, red haired young creature of six, she had proclaimed her love for 1dm front the housetops and graciously showered him with favors varying from sticky caramel kisses to the eyes of her loved doll when the latter went lhe way ol her kind. He looked at his watch. The boat could not possibly reach them from Mncntnwn before another half hour. It would make n landing on its way around the lake to gather up the cottagers for the hop. "Are you hungry?" It was a last appeal. Jcannette plucked n spray of sand cherries and began to eat them stoically. lie re membered other girls with red hair who had the 'same pleasant, madden ing little ways at critical moments. It muRt be in the color, or was it just pure- She glanced up lndignnntly when he knelt beside her and wrapped his coal nround her nnd then lnughed when she saw the look on his face. "I like you when you're like that, Tom," she said. "Like what?" "Oh, just brace up and boss me nnd forget you're only a boy! Can you see the boat yet?" "No; I'm not a boy. Does Kcrwln boss you?" ".ot very much; sometimes. lie's never rude." "Isn't that pleasant?" After a pause, "Do you llice him so awfully well?" DJo was stretched out on the snud at her fept, all his heart In his eyes ns he looked nt her. They were good eyes that had not yet lost the frank, questioning directness of boyhood. 3ennuette gazed steadily at the red light that had suddenly flickered to life In the lighthouse nt Osbourne point. "Pretty well," she said thoughtfully. "Hotter than you do me?" "You are so disugreeablo at times, Tom, that it Isn't fair to Judge," she returned generously. "You keep one bo In doubt, you know, and Mr. Kerwin 1b always the same, He Is one of the 5 most amiable incu, I have ever met." "1 hate amiable men." "How you must love yourself, denrl" "Don't call me dpnr. When wo light, you always ring in the cousin rnckol and 'dear hoy' me. I'm not n boy." "Don't growl so. You are a boy, sis feet one and a hundred and sixty pounds of good, solid, sweet tempered lovnblo boy. I wonder if Mr. Kerwin will bo worried about me and come or. the boat, lie lifts thcllrst waltz." "You alB-nys give him wnltzcs. Al I get nro two steps. Whnt fellow has any chance in n two step?" "Two steps were made for you, Tom. Your graceful prnnce is heavenly. 1 feel as if 1 had been nt n football game when you'slow up and deposit my re innins on a friendly chair. But one doesn't waltz as if one were wound up like a toy engine to scoot from wall to wall In n frenzy. Mr. Kerwin learned In Europe, lie says." "If I could think that you only did 11 to torment me, the way it was with ltoli and Cliff Mnxon and the rest, I wouldn't care a hang. But some wny he seems different. lie's forty-five" "Thirty-six." "It's all the same, nnd I know ITncle i Nick smells cold cash or he'd never throw you nt his head the way he does." "Ho doesn't throw me nt his head," came the hot denial. "Elcnnor is al ways with us." "Oh, well, Eleanor, she's most tliir ty"- "Twenty-flve last April." "I don't care. She wouldn't look at Kerwin. If he conies on the hont, I'll throw him in the lake." "You sweet child! Tom, dear, do you know" "No; I don't know," he retorted bit terly. "I don't know anything, Jennie, except that I love you, and you don't enre a rap." There was silence. After n few min utes she stole n glnnce nt him. His head wns lying on his nrms, his face hidden. She smiled a little, tremulous,- fenrful smile. "What a boy he wns! A man would have known, taken it for granted nnywny. But nil he did was avow his cause nnd lay down henrt and sword before the battle had even begun. Far off on the distant marsh some night fowl sent a quavering, anxious cry across the lake, and the wnter lap ped lazily among the reeds down near the rickety old pier. She shivered and looked nwny from the strong, nthletic young figure lying nmong the sword grasses at her feet If he had not been going away that night! How long half a year seems when one must be alone! But he wns such a boy! She -turned nnd laid her hand on his shoulder. "Tom, don't do. that," she said quick ly, a little frown contracting her eye brows. "I didn't know. You always acted ns If it were half fun. Don't you know you did? And Bob nnd Cliff weren't in earnest. Boys nren't gener ally. They fall in love because oh, just because! And I thought you were the snnie. I didn't think you would want it to be forever, the way men do." No response from the prostrate fig ure. Her hand wandered to his hnir It wns thick, wavy hair. She had lov ed to pull it back in the old days wheii she had been angry with him. One could get such a splendid grip. "You never said you really wanted me, you know, Tom." The words did not come ns easily now. "Mr. Kerwin proposed, really and truly, in the reg ulation wny, like a man. You never oven proposed." The figure sat bolt upright "What did he say?" "The boat has left the island." "How did he do it?" "They'll he here pretty soon." "Jenn, look at me. Don't laugh." After awhile, when they could hear the slow, faint whistle of the hont and wnlked down to the pier together swinging hands, he aske suddenly: "Did I do it right?" "Lovely!" "You dear! Better than Kerwin?" "Ask Eleanor!" she said. A Barber and Poet. Jasmin, the Gascon poet, who wns also a barber, had mauv n strnntro nil venture arising from tho Incongruity of His two professions. At one time when .he was visiting the mayor of a French town nnd had promised to give nn Informal recitation to tho townspeople the hour nrrived, and liis host did not nppenr. Several important personages ussembled to ac company them to tho hall, but the mayor remained invisible, busied with his toilet. Finnlly, fearing the Impatience of Ids guests, ho opened tho door of IiIk chnmbcr to apologize nnd showed his fnce covered with lather. "Just a moment," said he; "I am fin ishing my shaving." "Oh." said Jasmin, "let mo help you." He at once doffed his coat, gave a finishing touch to tho razor and shaved tho mayor in a twinkling with what ho called his "hand of velvet." In n few 'minutes ho was in the hall reeolv. Ing tumultuous applause for his snlon- did recitations. President Earie of the Lentnm or American Wheelmen says that tbe cou- vict labor of the country could build io,uuu miles of road a year and should be used for that purpose. THE 3AEBER SCORED. 1.
