A BIT OF NONSENSE
By JOAN M. GRAY.
1, 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
"Sow; whore on earth did Xini get
the idea?" Kink Spuukling asked Nim's
brother, as they stood staring down
upon .Nun's bohlied head, turned ador
ingly upward toward the words which
a long-haired, lanky individual was
passionately pouring forth. "We three
start off on a tramp as usual and she
announces that a man with Uie most
wonderful ideas ill the world Is com
ing along and then she prances off
down the hill with him and leaves us
here without any Idea at all."
"Oh, Nim's Xhn," Nun's brother said,
uiirutlled, "and you are you. You let
her walk all over you and only sputter
when she steps off and trios her foot
ing on someone else. If you'd only
shake her once in a while"
"Oh, for heaven's sake! You know
how it is with me, George. I'd rather
have Mm walk all over me than "
"I know, nil right," snorted George,
"and Mm knows. Listen to that," as
Aim's adorable laugh iloated up the
hill 10 1 hem. "That girl needs a darn
good lesson."
"This is the third time she's lugged
that bird along when I asked her to
come out here with me"
"And Ids hands aren't overly clean,
either"
"I bet he's only got that one collar
to his name, and it's celluloid at that."
"IUnk, if you only had souse enough
to do It! Listen. Get Madame Non
sense on the line and play her against
the Idea. Show NIm that you have an
outside 'interest' and see what hap
pens. Will you?"
Nlm's laugh floated up to them at
that moment, and Blnk swore that lie
would.
NIm, ready now to laugh with Blnk
over the Great Idea, found Blnk In a
sort of trance with Madame Nonsense.
And he left with Madame, still In the
same trance. But he came quickly out
of It when he had left her at her door,
and with a muttered "whew" of relief,
returned to Nim's tea table. Once there
he manfully raved over Madame's
charm until NIm disdainfully left him
for the upper regions.
Thereafter Blnk talked Nonsense,
thought Nonsense, and tfeslred Non
sense only apparently. Long after
the Big Idea had said good-by forever
to NIm and hnd promised to still love
her when they met again In the Great
Beyond, did Blnk continue to worship
Nonsense.
"But what does he see In that frowsy
old thing?" raged NIm to George. "She
Is forty if she's a day."
"Oh, well, we men like someone with
experience someone who Is ready to
please us and think of our comfort be
fore anything else. ' Madame surely
thinks of Blnk's happiness, all right,
which Is more than you do."
"Well, Is he thinking of mine? I
mean " NIm could have bitten her
tongue with vexation. "Heavens," she
Rhrugged, recovering. "I don't care
what he does. Come on, George. Dad's
waiting out there for us."
Madame was describing the vision of
s departed Red Man, when NIm, hav
ing left George and her dad behind,
came swiftly Into view. Blnk, embar
rassed, changed from he foot, to the
other, dislodging M"adame, who was
ratlif leiuilng on hjm, and Madame,
slipping sifglYtly, sat down with
thump on the edge of the hill.
As Madame went down her wrath
came up, and when Madame rose, her
wrath went still higher. With her gold
en hair hanging a little, to cue side, she
lised words which her association with
tliingg spiritual had not taught her to
use. Then, feeling lonesome with all
of them lost upon Blnk Hpauldlng, she
stalked down the path, passed an open
mouthed Mm, and disappeared Into the
grove.
"I hope she bumps Into a tree," mut
tered a miserable, red-faced Blnk.
But the worst seemed to be coming.
for NIm, with a rush, was before him.
"Blnk Spnuldlng, I should think
you'd want to hide your face! Making
love to a woman old enough to he
your mother, ami a vulgar, swearing,
rough, commonplace oh, Blnk, I think
you're hwrld !"
Blnl! wasn't ready yet, and (link had
soon a suspicion tremble In Nim's
udorable inouili.
".She NIm, how could I kimy. I "
"Bingham, you don't really care for
her? After"
NIm was angry. If be thought he
could have a flairs wlih nil the old per
oxide hens for miles around, after ask
ing her three times to marry him, he
wan mistaken. She turned and stulkud
away from him.
"NIm, you come ba'k here and kiss
me," said Blnk, appearing much braver
than he felt, and NIm, so unusual was
the command, obeyed.
Fifteen minutes Inter she asked sus
piciously: "Blnk, did you ever kl.-s that
her?"
"Ye gods!" cried Blnk. lift log his
