IM S . by M cC lu re N e w s p a p e r S y n d ic a te ) thing—not a lame stranger with ‘a thin, gaunt face. The days went on, long days In the toy shop while Laeta painted Inevitable daisies and glued together small parti tions and hammered tiny nails Into po sition. It was the most natural thing in the world to walk down the crooked street, to see the stranger smiling across the hollyhocks when ten was over and a crescent of sliver showed over the dark trees. Now they sat on the white steps and talked. Mr. Jarvis never said very much, but he understood. Laeta knew that. Sometimes she told him her (¡reams and hopes nnd more often they watched the white shadows steal across the garden while the fireflies lit tiny torches against the night. There was a long silence, and then Laeta felt her hand was caught tightly. “Laeta, I love you 1” "No,” Laeta answered gravely. “This Isn’t love. It can't be. Of course we are friends, only friends, be cause—” “Because?” he repeated. “I could never love anyone like you. Oh, no, I don’t mean to hurt you— but he must be brave and daring nnd—” "I understand,” the man said husk ily ; “I thought perhaps—I know I have nothing to offer you now—” She heard his crutch tap dov,n the garden path. She heard the gate creuk ns It swung behind him. Then there was silence In the garden. “I couldn't love him,” Laeta told her self over and over again. “I like him, hut he Is not brave—just kind." But Laeta found the evenings hud suddenly grown very long and lonely. Across the high work bench Mr. Jar vis smiled at her In Ills old gay w'ay, but when dusk had fallen he did not walk with her down the twisted, nar row street, nor dill he stand and talk with her across the white gate. One evening she stolq out again to the colored rocks and looked far off across the rosy waters; Just as though It wss another night she heard voices behind her, “the summer people.” Two girls la shimmering white were climb ing across the rocks. She listened In voluntarily. “Have you heard that Tom Jarvis is staying down here trying to get over his shock?" "Not the Jarvis, the aviator who won three decorations and wai wounded ?” "Simply crazy to meet him—I hear he’s clrl shy." their voices, trailed, off Laeta drove the last nail Into the doll’s cradle she had Just finished. She laid down her hammer with a sigh and looked about her. Above her on a trestle stood a long row of tiny cra dles, each one perfect, waiting now for tbelr coats of blue paint. Across the high wooden bench Laeta caught the eyes of a stranger looking at her wistfully, “A man In a toy shop,” Laeta told nerself disgustedly; “brave work for a niun." She brushed back a thick lock of red lialr that would persist lc full ing across her white forehead, and slipped off the black smock that cov ered her little gingham dress. "A white Illy,” the man thought as he faced her. But Laeta did not return the frank question In his eyes. Instead she went forth Into the early dusk with her wide gruy eyes unseeing on the quaint streets, streets that ambled uphill and curved leisurely down to the brte wa ter. At her own gate the hollyhocks nodded a rosy greeting, and Laeta stooped to gather the fragrance of the bed of old-fashioned pinks. SJie turned when she heard an uneven step on the wooden pavement of the village street. It was the stranger, the man who had just come to work In the toy shop. She saw then that he was lame. “Laeta!” a voice sounded behind the hollyhocks. “What’s keeping you, child? Tea’s ready.” Over the tea table Laeta told them of the day, how her design had been praised, the one of the farmyard with all the painted wooden animals; how the new air brush was working—but Laeta did not mention the stranger. When tea was over and Laeta had polished the last flut.ed glass and laid the shining knives and spoons In the white closet In prim rows she touched her mother’s white hair with a butterfly kiss and closed the door softly behind her. “She’s not happy,” her mother thought, but she said nothing to her husband, who, with glasses high on his head, was reading the evening pa per. Once outside the garden Laeta hur ried down to the water front. She walked on and on until she had passed the last gray fisherman’s hut and climbed far out on the colored, Jagged rocks that lined the shore. Here she sat down with her face to ward the far horizon, where the wa ter met the blurred line of sky. A white sail shimmered for a moment In her vision before it dipped beyond her sight. “I want to go, too," Laeta said soft ly. “I want to live—to be freel Am I going to be like old Miss Henry and little Miss Lelia, living alone in a white house In a twisty little street forever?” Then she heard voices beyond her and Involuntarily she listened. “Isn’t It the most picturesque place? The na tives are so quaint. Why, they've lived always In these funny little houses—” Their voices trailed ofT. Laeta turned to see the “summer peo ple," two girls In sheerest white bal ancing precarlotsly on high white heels over the shelving rocks. She looked down at her worn, shab by shoes and faded gingham dress and felt a momentary sense of loss. Bat (here was no mark of her battle, no sign of the longing In her face when she returned an hour later. The next dny found her at work as jistinl In the toy shop, painting three white daisies and one pink hollyhock on the headpiece of the wooden doll's cradle. . On a very high stool with a black smock covering the slim whiteness of her. and a lock of red hair that would fall across her eyes, she did not know what a picture she made and how the stranger looked at her more often than at the tiny sailboat he was rig ging. But Laeta never even thought of him until closing time, and then his ! crutch startled her as it fell. She picked It up and handed It to him, and somehow she found herself replying gravely to his questions. He was not like the other men, she decided, more tike a woman—simple and kind. Other men frightened her, fright- j ened her so much she could never an swer them—but this man—why—she could only pity him. She said good night across the hoi- | lyhocks and watched him stumble off. j Somehow, his crutch did not seem to suit him. Tet when Laeta asker her- 1 self the Inevitable question. “Could I , like him?" she knew the answer was ! “no.” for »he loved bravery and strength and a man who dared every- and Laeta suddenly knew «hut she had done. Tom Jarvis, her strauger, the great ace, and she had told him he was not brave enough! She sat there very quietly sunk In despair, while the waves lapped against the rocks, sat there until she heard the sharp sound of a tap-tap across the shelving rocks. Laeta lifted a radiant face to Tom Jarvis. "Can you forgive me?" she asked. Then she saw his slow, glorifying smile. IDIOMS OF RHODE ISLAND Peculiar Words and Phrases That Are Rarely Heard In Any Other Sec tion of the Country. .The use of the word "why" as a preface to a reply to a request for Information Is peculiar to Rhode Is land. “How do you get to Roger Wil liams Park?” Inquires an nutolst. “ ‘Why,’ you go out Broad street,” Is the response. If one Is accustomed to finding fault with trivial matters, lie's a “fuss-bud get." If In good financial circum stances he's “well-off” ; tf not, he’s “down at the heel.” An unusual oc currence Is apt to call forth the ex pression, “I never saw the beat of It.” As expressing Inferiority, one Is asked to “take a back seat," and a limita tion of Information Is Indicated by “for all' that I know." The Inelegant threat, "I'll whale the life out of you," probably has Its or igin In the mispronunciation of wale —a mark of the rod. To “l#ng him up" or to “shut his eye” are slang references to obtaining credit and “not by a long chalk” Is derived from the ancient custom of storekeepers of marking with chalk on the door of the establishment the amounts of the In debtedness of customers. There are many words and expres sions used exclusively by people of preterit days, now seldom, if ever heard. They have departed with the toddy stick, the loggerhead, the spin- net nnd the village horse block. One hears of the "smelling committee"— a committee of Investigation—of "long sweetening” and a “sight" of money, but It Is only occasionally.
