f Miss Penelope.

She greeted her first and only board
er with ft shy dignity.
"I think you will find It quiet enough
here, MT. Holmes. You said In your
letter that you wanted to get away
from home and the children while you
finished your book."
John Holmes put his suit case down
on the veranda and took the huge
rocker offered by Miss Penelope's col
ored servant. Aunt Dllsey.
"It looks nice and quiet," he said,
taking In the gorgeous coloring of the
trees and the old fashioned (lower gar
den, now gay with dahlias and gerani
ums. "I think I will be able to work
after a day or so of rest and wander
ing through the woods. ' When I got
your mother's answer to my advertise
ment I Instinctively knew that It was
the right one to accept."
Miss Penelope blushed faintly.
"Not my mother's I am your host
ess. I keep house for my father." She
never In the world would have thought
of herself as his landlady. "Aunt Dll
sey will render you any necessary serv
ice. Take Mr. Holmes' suit case. Aunt
JDllsey. and show him bis room. Sup
per will be ready in half an hour."
He went upstairs to the front bed
room, rather pleased that he would
have for company at supper a pleasing
woman of perhaps thirty instead of
the middle aged farmer's wife whom
his Imagination had pictured.
Miss Penelope, giving a final touch
to her supper table, with its centerpiece
of brilliant fall blossoms, talked to her
blind father. "If it's quiet' be wants,
be certainly ought to be satisfied. But
he is a much younger man than I ex
pected. I have read his last book, and
it doesn't seem that such a jolly look
ing man could have written books so
serious.
"He said there were five children at
his bouse and that ,thelr mother be
lieved that a constant exercise of lungs
and muscles was good for their devel
opment. We'll feel really .important,
daddy, having a real book written In
our house or on our veranda or in our
back yard, wherever genius happens to
Inspire him." And she ran on merrily,
giving the little details which for the
ten years of his blindness had been
the pleasure of her father's life.
The novel progressed finely In the
next few weeks, and the boarder di-

vlded his days Into mornings for work,
afternoons for fishing and rambling
through the woods and gay little chats
with Miss Penelope and her father
after supper.
Miss Penelope forgot the shyness for
which she was noted and talked of the
things she had read and dreamed
about for years as if she bad actually
lived them. Returulng from school ten
years before, she had not found the
average youth of the community con
genial. Her natural timidity and ret
icence hnd been uilstuken for hauteur,
and not one of the country swains had
possessed the courage to ask her to go
for the customary drives or to the
yearly ice cream festival.
She had tended her flower garden, di
rected the management of her father's
farm and for amusement bad lived in
a world of books and magazines. The
only love of her life was a worship of
Rudolph Rassendyll after reading "The
Prisoner of Zenda." She unconscious
ly adiiptfrd her style of dress to the
lines that she thought would have suit
ed the slenderness of Queen Flavla
and never realized that she was dream
ing her life away.
To Holmes she talked freely-of her
fancies, of his work, of anything that
the moment prompted, and be bad un
consciously added a touch of her to
the quaint heroine of his book.
"I-et me read you the last three
chapters," he said one evening when
the rain had driven them Indoors from
Ihe flower garden and the hammock
under the trees. "It always sound
romeited for a writer to want to read
bis own works, but I believe I have
given the exact touch to this, and I
want to see how U strikes you.
Be brought the manuscript, and Miss
Penelope lit the old fashioned lamp.
As he read her eyes dilated and she
listened eagerly. She saw her own
dahlia garden flaunting' in the autumn
'tin, the woodland eU that lad frw
the back of the garden to the creek
and was It Mr. Holmes or her own
Budolpb Rassendyll transplated to
quiet and homelike atmosphere that
was given a red rose In the garden by
the strangely familiar woman In the
book?
"Ton have made her like me," she
gasped Incredulously, "and idealized
me, and where she tells him about her
life, lived in the characters from
books she bad read. It's exactly
what I said to you the afternoon we
went riding on the creek."
'I couldn't help it," be confessed.
"It fitted the Esther In my story so
perfectly that I was simply obliged to
let her borrow the whole conversation.
Tou don't mind, do you?"
'I never was more flattered in my
life," she said impulsively. "I never
Imagined there was one . trait or
thought of mine of enough Importance
to be written about, but you have
made me seem all that I always want
ed to be." ,
"Are you?" He laid the manuscript
on the table. "I kept the rose you gave
me that day In the garden," he said
abruptly.
She sat still and white, the situation
being one that she had never met with
or dreamed of meeting.
"To me you are Esther. I could love
you the same way," he said quietly.
Miss Penelope rose, frightened and
childlike, a quiver of pain trembling
on her lips. "
"Mr. Holmes, I have admired you.
I have tried to entertain you as best I
could to keep you from finding the
dullness of our life tedious. Perhaps I
am to blame," she said dazedly. "I
found you so sympathetic and congen
ial that I talked to you more than I
ever talked to any one In my life, but
I never thought that you would misun
derstand me would offer me this in
sult Tou, a married man," she
gasped.
"A a what?" he asked blankly.
"A married man," she said brokenly,
two tears trickling down her cheeks.
. Holmes, a finished product of civili
zation, let his mouth drop open In as
tonishment I've never been married In my life,"
he said in amazement
But those five children that you
wanted to get away from?" she said
faintly.
Holmes struggled with his merri
ment and was finally able to answer:
'Those five kids belong to my sis
ter," he chuckled. "I live with her
and her husband In any part of the
house that Is not pre-empted by those
urchins. I never dreamed that yon
thought I was married all thla time."
Miss Penelope still stood, nervous
and dazed before him.
He took her hand and, stooping.
pressed his Hps to It "I kept the rose,"
he said Insinuatingly.
She looked down upon his blond
head, and her own beloved Queen
Flavla and Rudolph Rassendyll be
came from that moment mere crea
tures of fiction. She bad found her
own romance.
"I'm so glad you kept it" she said
timidly.
A Spelling Reform.
One of the witnesses in a lawsuit
who had. just been sworn, was asked
to give his name. He replied that it
was Hinckley. Then the attorney for
the prosecution requested him to give
bis name In full.
"Jeffrey Alias Hinckley."
"I am not asking you for your alias,"
said the lawyer Impatiently. "What is
your real uuuie?"
"Jeffrey Alias Hinckley."
"No trilling in this court, sir!" stern
ly spoke the Judge. "Which Is your
right name Jeffrey or Hinckley?"
"Both of em, your honor."
"Both of them? Which is your sur
name?"
"Hinckley."
"And Jeffrey is your given name?
"Yes, your honor."
"Theu what business have you- with
an alias?"
'I wish I knew, your honor." said
the witness ruefully. "It isn't my fault"
"What do you mean, sir?" demanded
the Judge, who was fast losing his
temper.
"I mean, your houor, that Alius is
my middle name, for some reason
which my parents never explained to
me. I suppose they saw It In print
somewhere and rather liked the looks
of it. I'd get rlil of it if I could do
so without the newspapers finding It
out and joshing me about it"
"The court suggests that hereafter
the witness begin his middle name
with an E Instead of an A. Counsel
will proceed with the examination."
said the Judge, coughing behind his
handkerchief. Youth's Companion.

One evening die head of the house

"Please tell the cook to accelerate the

Women Who Wear WelL
It Is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, tbe charm, the
brilliance vanish liko the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, Ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar-
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of Its
fairness.
