“8o even after Collier was kidnaped
out of tbe way by tbe revolt of bls ap
petite my own prospects with Marne
didn’t seem to be Improved. And then
business played out in Guthrie.
“I iiad stayed too long there. Tbe
Brazilians I had sold commenced to
allow signs of wear, and the klndler
refused to light up right frequent ou
wet mornings. There is always a time
tn my business when tbe star of suc
cess Mys, 'Move on to tbe next towu.'
I was traveling by wagou at that time,
so as not to miss any of the small
towns, so I bitched up a few days later
and went down to tell Marne goodby.
I wasn't abandoning tbe game. I In
tended running over to Oklahoma City
and work It for a week or two. Then
I was coming back and institute fresh
proceedings against Marne.
“What do I find at the Dugans' but
Marne all conspicuous In a blue trav
eling dress, with her little trunk at
the door. It seems that Bister Ixittle
Belle, who Is a typewriter in Terre
Haute, Is going to be married next
Thursday, and Marne la off for a week’s
visit to be an accomplice at the cere
mony. Marne is waiting for a freight
wagon that is going to take her to Ok
lahoma, but I condemns the freight
wagon with promptness and scorn and
offers to deliver the goods myself. Ma
Dugan sees no reason why not. as Mr.
Freighter wants pay for tlie job, so
thirty minutes later Marne and I pull
out In my light spring wagon with
white canvas cover and bead due south.
“That morning was of a praise
worthy sort The breeze was lively
and smelled excellent of flowers and
grass, and the little cottontail rabbits
entertained themselves with skylark

it like a clothesline. Marne was full of
talk and rattled on like a kid about
her old home and her school pranks
and tbe things sbe liked and the hate
ful ways of those Johnson girls just
across the street, way up in Indiana.
Not a word was Mid about Ed Collier
or victuals or such solemn subjects.
About noon Maine looks and finds that
the lunch she had put up In a basket
has been left Rebind. I could have
managed quite a collation, but Marne
didn't seem to lie grieving over nothing
to eat, so 1 made no lamentations. It
was a sdre subject with me, and I
ruled provender In. a II Its branches out
of my conversation.
“I am minded to touch light on ex
planations how I came to lose the way.
Tbe road was dim and well grown
with grass, and there was Marne by
my side confiscating my Intellects and
attention. The excuses ■ are good or
they are not, as they may appear to
you. But I lost It, and at dusk that
afternoon, when we should have been
In Oklahoma City, we were seesawing
along the edge of nowhere In some un
discovered river bottom, and the rain
was falling In large wet bunches.
Down there in the swamps we saw a
little log house on a small knoll of
high ground. Tbe bottom grass and
the chaparral and the louesome timber
crowded all around it. It seemed to be
a melancholy little house, and you felt

night, the way I reasoned it. I ex

mo to decide. She doesn't become gal

would, but she My»' its ail Yigiit—she
knows I didn’t mean to do It
“We found the house was deserted.
It had two empty rooms. There was a
little shed ’n the yard where beasts
had tieen once kept. In a loft of It
win a lot of old hay. I put my horses
In then* and gave them some of It, for
which they looked at me sorrowful,
expecting apologies. The' rest of tbe
bay I carried Into tbe house by arm
fuls, with a view to accommodations.
1 also brought in tbe patent klndler
and tbe Brazilians, neither of which
are guaranteed against the action of
water.
“Marne and I Mt on the wagon seats
ou the floor, and 1 lit a 1st of the klndler
on the hearth, for tbe night was chilly.
If 1 was any judge, that girl enjoyed
it. It was a change for her. It gave
her a different point of view. Sbe
laughed and talked, and the klndler
made a dim light compared to her eyes.
I bad a pocketful of cigars, and as far
as I was concerned there hsd never
been any fall of man. We were at tbe
Mme old stand In the garden of Eden.
Out there somewhere in the rain and
the dark was the river of Zion, and tbe
angel with the flaming sword had not

I opened up a gross or two of the Bra

her cheeks and almost cried for a look

“When It got late, I made a fine bunk
on the floor for Marne with tbe bay
and my lap robes and blanketa out of
tbe wagon and persuaded her to lie
down. I sat tn tbe other room barulug
tobacco and listening to the pouring
rain and meditating on tbe many vicis
situdes that come to a man during tbe
seventy years or so immediately pre
ceding his funeral.
“I must have dozed a little before
morning, for my eyes were abut, and
when I opened them it was daylight,
and there stood Marne with her hair
all done up neat and correct and her
eyes bright with admiration of exist
ence.
“ ‘Gee whiz, Jeff,’ she exclaims, ’but
I’m hungry! I could eat a'—
“I looked up and caught her eye.
Her smile went back In. and she gave
me a cold look of suspicion. Then I
laughed and laid down on tbe floor to
laugh easier. It seemed funny to me.
By nature and geniality 1 am a hearty
laugher, and I went tbe limit. When
I came to, Marne was sitting with her
back to me, all contaminated with dig
nlty.
“ ‘Don’t be angry. Marne,' 1 says, ‘for
I couldn't help It. It's the funny way
you've done up your hair. If you could
only see It!’
“’You needn’t tell stories, sir,’ said
Maine, cool and advised. 'My hair is

wooden window and looked out. Tbe
.entire river bottom was flooded, and
the knob of laud on which the bouse
! stood was an Island In tbe middle of
a rushing stream of yellow water a
hundred yards wide. And it was still
raining hard. All we could do was to
stay there till tbe dove brought in tbe
olive branch.
“I am tsiund to admit that conversa
tions and amusements languished
during that day. I was aware that
Marne was getting a too prolonged one
sided view of things again, but I bad
no way to change It. Personally I was
wrapped up in a desire to eat. I had
hallucinations of bash and visions of

the time, *What ’ll you have to eat,
Jeff? What’ll you order! now, old man.
when tbe waiter comes?* I picks out
to myself all sorts of favorites from
tbe bill of fare and imagines them
coming. I guess It’s that way with all
very hungry men.
“I Mt there, musing along, arguing
with myself quite heated as to bow
I'd have my steak—with mushrooms or
a la creole. Marne was on the other
seat, pensive, her bead leaning on her
hand. 'Let the potatoes come home

eggs on the side.*
“Night come on again, with the river
still rising and tbe rain still falling. I
looked at Marne, and I noticed
desperate look on her face that a girl
always wears when she passes an Ice
cream lair. I knew that poor girl was
hungry, maybe for tbe first time in her
life. There was that anxious look In
her eye that a woman has only when
she baa missed a meal or feels her
skirt coming unfastened in the back.
“It was about 11 o'clock or so on tbe
s«*cond night, when we Mt gloomy in
our shipwrecked cabin. I kept jerking
my mind away from the subject of
food, but It kept flopping back again
before I could fasten it I thought of

“Marne turned her bead quick as a

she smiled sudden.
“ ‘Medium for me,’ sbe rattles out,

It seesaw that
there is set up a feeling that Maine
will line up friendly again with food.
•The next morning we find that tbe
flood has subsided. I geared up tbe
bays, and we splashed out through the
mud, some precarious, until wa found
tbe road again. We were oqjy • frw

“'Twas a naw restaurant and well

tbe waiter look toward tbe wagon to
see bow many more might be coming.
“There we were, and there was tbe
order being served. 'Twas a banquet
for a doaen, but we felt like a dozen.
I looked across tbe table at Marne and
smiled, for I bad recollections. Marne
was looking at tbe table like a boy
looks at bls first stem winder. Tbeu
sbe looked at me. straight In tbe face,
and two big tears came in her eyes.
The waiter was gone after more grub.
“ ‘Jeff,’ sbe says, soft like. Tve been
a foolish girl. I’ve looked at things
from tbe wrong side. I never felt this
way before. Men get hungry every

do they, Jeff? You said once—that Is,

me something to eat quick, please.’
“So, as I’ve said, a woman needs to
change her point of view now and then.
They get tired of tbe same old sights—
