THE LITTLE BLONDE
npHE little blonde, whose name was
Annabel Monroe, eald to Mike
Hannigan:
"How far does the lesson for to
morrow go?"
Mike told her, patiently. She was
the dumbest cluck he'd ever teen
about keeping the place. He won
dered If she was deaf or anything.
As they left the class-room Anna
bel was under his elbow. She said
pathetically: "Why don't yon eyer
pay me any mind, Mike?"
Mike turned and stared down at
her. Annabel's father was a big mer
chant, and he was the son of a lint
head: why on earth should he pay
her any mind? He grinned, a little
crookedly.
"Because I know where I belong."
She made a petulant face at him.
"You sure are dumb. Vou belong
wherever you want to go."
That was a new Idea. He sniffed It
suspiciously and decided to let It He
there. He said deliberately:
Annabel snuggled down
"That's mighty tweet of you, but
1 guoss 1 won't risk It."
Annabel frowned, and then de
cided to look pathetic again. "Please,
Mike. Ask me for a date sometime."
He squirmed. He wasn't sure be
wanted a date with her even If he
could get It.
' "I'm pretty busy during football
season. When you practice all after
noon It means you got to study at
nights."
"Not on weekends, surely."
She turned her face up to him and
Mike felt a hot, prickling sensation
In his stomach, lle'd seen that eort of
look before, but not on a face like
Annabel's. She ought to have a
brother to tell her what waa what.
He said uncomfortably: '
"No not on weekends. But I'm
not coming to your house just to get
kicked down the sups."
"You won't." She moved closer.
"If I ask papa first: tell him you
want to come If he'll let you; and he
aayt yes, then will you ask me for a
date?"
That looked to him like an out, so
he snatched at it eagerly. "Yeah. If
you'll promise to tell him who I am."
"Oh, 1 will." She was radiant Mr.
Monroe was a busy, preoccupied man
who delegated all disciplinary meas
ures to his wire, and his wife waa
laty and malleable. Already Annabel
could visualize herself wearlug Mike
at her belt. She gave a little skip s
she left him.
"Don't forget now. You've prom
ised." "Sure."
He went on to the woodshop, and
assaulted a lathe with furious en
ergy. He snatched up a poplar stick
and began turning a chair leg.
BUT the next day Annabel waa
lying In wait, and before the tri
umph In her eyes Mike's heart sank
like a sounder.
"Mike. He said it was all right. Ho
said he thought that kind of atti
tude was undemocratic."
That was glaringly untrue. Mr.
Monroe had said. "Hannigan. Who's
he?" and Annabel had waved a hand.
"He's In my class about the smart-
