CLARK »»»I »» M t I I Rf t II »»»»»♦ FALSE FACES ELL WITHERS and I—Bill Hved across tbe road from us—bad been B reading "Bentley Burrows, or The Skeleton Hand.” a tale of ghosts and bandits and general horror, continued from week to week in “Tbe Saturday Night,” a literary journal which oUr hired man bought every week ^at Cole’® drug store In town. Shivering with fear, I wa® just finishing tbe last chapter in the dusk of g dull Novem ber evening, when I heard a knock at the door. I called “Come in,” as was the polite custom in our community, and to my horror a real bandit entered —leather legging, big revolver, bris tling moustache, and all. I was fright ened for a moment, and then I caught eight of a lock of curly red hair »tick ing out through a hole in th? sombrero and a freckled ear protruding. It was only Bill Withers wearing a false face and trying to fool me. I have had the experience often since. I was at a party a few night» ago, where on the surface everything waa hilarious. Through th» dim light, however. I could see that all the fel lows were wearing false faces. Above the din of the ragtime sounded out from the long-Buffering piano I could detect tbe hollow unnatural voices Is suing through the masks that the men were wearing. I watched Mary Gay, rosy-ch»eked and bright-eyed, and I thought I had never seen a happier and a more ani mated face. She was smiling on every one and showing a vivacity and an in terest that held a pleased crowd about her. A few minutes later I came upon her unobserved as she was standing before the mirror tn the hallway sur- repitlously adjusting her false face. I ran onto Jlrfi Burton one Sunday this summer at church with his pat ents. He was looking pitois. attentive, and altogether unsophisticated. As he leaned over to pick a hymn book from the floor I could see how crudely he had adjusted his false face, for under neath he was the same Irreligious, ir- reverant, irresponsible youth whom I had known at college. The false faces whiPb we wear or see every day seldom deceive anyone They are like rouge or oleomargarine, or hair dye or face powder—no one ever thinks them real. We put them on to make ourselves beautiful or tm- piueMve to our teachers or our sweet heart» or the tax collector or the home folk® or tbe minister or our Creator, but more often than otherwise the lock of red hair escapes or the freckled ear •ticks out and gives us away.
