As matrimonial manager for her
family. Mrs. Glendale Chesterton had
every reason to feel proud of her rev-
ord.
Through their
mother’s
efforts
three of the Chesterton “hopefuls”
hud their hopes realized. Husbands
with comfortable piles of coin to their
respective credits had been found,
lured ami trapped. They had to be
lured and trapped because of the
daughters’ vivid unattractiveness. As
visions of beauty, the three Cliester-
ton girls would have made good ce
ment mixers.
But Mrs. Chesterton’s troubles were
not over. There remained one more
daughter, Lucia by name, to be mar
ried off before the mother would be
content. And Lucia was the greatest
problem of them all.
Not because of her looks. Far from
It. In some way Lucia had escaped
the blight of homeliness that had smit
ten the rest of the family. In fact,
those who knew said she made up for
the rest of them.
According to these authorities, the
other Chesterton girls had hair that
resembled rope, while Lucia’s was
raven black, with tints of unburnished
gold. Her sisters' eyes were the col
or of mud puddles.
Lucia’s were
brown, deep, mysterious pools. Their
chins were like hatchets ; Lucia’s was
gracefully rounded ; their lips thick
and pink. Lucia’s thin and red ; their
necks like buffaloes’, hers like a
swan’s; their bodies thin as rails, Lu
cia’s slim like a bird.
But Lucia was recalcitrant, A nom-
ber of husbands had been selected for
her—and willing ones, too—but she
spurned them all.
“Don’t want to tret married,” she
affirmed. "Won’t Ret married, that’s
all.”
Mrs. Chesterton was Ingenious, but
all her Ingenuity was wasted on Lucia-
The latter saw through her tricks.
When a prospective husband called
and Mamma Chesterton graciously
retired from the library, leaving the
young couple alone, Lucia would pro
pose a stroll or a ride. When a horse
back party contrived by Mrs. Chester
ton's suggestion to leave Lucia and a
young man by themselves, the girl
would whip up her steed and appre
hend the rest of the riders. She would
never sit out a dance or walk in the
woods.
For three years Mrs. Chesterton had
veritably wooed her own daughter,
thinking the latter finally would capit
ulate and become the bride of some
nice rich young man. But Lucia was
now twenty-two and more adamant
than ever.
“No use.” she would say. “I just
won't get married. No man is going
to boss me around.”
About this time young Adam Forth
giver, who went away In quest of
health, returned from a three-years'
soujourn In the West, where he became
robust and made money raising cattle.
This change for the better In his
health—and also In the matter of his
wealth—caused Mrs. Chesterton to de-
cide on Adam for a son-in-law.
She
had a conference with Mrs. Forthgiver,
and the latter acquiesced. It was to
their mutual social advantage.
“But it’s no use,” said Mrs. Forth
giver. “I broached the subject of mar
riage to Adam. In fact, I might say I
had your daughter In view; you know
they used to be such good friends. But
he nearly ate me up, and told me he
was not ready, and would not be for a
good many years, to take a wife, and
when he was ready he’d select one
without any help.”
They had frequent confabs on the
subject, and one day Mrs. Forthgiver,
after serving notice by telephone,
bustled Into Mrs. Chesterton’s home
with the announcement that she had
an idea.
Mrs. Chesterton, having visited Eng
land, had the afternoon hnblt, and she
at once ordered tea served.
The plot was simple.
In fact,
young Adam Forthgiver was a party
to it—was really Its author—al
though he was unaware of It. Adam
had decided to go hunting In the
Michigan north woods. “I’ve always
wanted to tramp through those for
ests in the winter,” he had said. "It's I
Ideal in the summer and I know I’d
like It when there’s snow."
Mrs. Forthgiver’s plan was for Mrs.
Chesterton to send Lucia to the snm*
territory, without, of course, appris
ing her of tlie fact that Adam would
be there.
The suggestion was re
ceived with enthusiasm.
"JtMt the thing!" she exclaimed,
as she drained her second cup. "Lu-
cfn hns often expressed a desire for
some such winter frolic in the woods.
I'll get Mrs. Alberts to go with her.”
Adam had selected Brutus, a town
south of Mackinaw City, for his
headquarters. "There's a hotel there
called the Purple house which serves
the best dinners In the world,” he
bad explained, “nnd when I get tired
of camp cooking I can hike to town
•nd get a real feed."
“Adam’s -esl purpose Is to get th*
outdoor 1I'te” hl* mother asserted.
“Ever sir

in the woods. I know him. There’s
a young man living In Brutus who
worked on Adaiu’s ranch, and he'»
very fond of him. This young man
will act as his guide.
"Now. I’ve had correspondence on
I
my own account before broaching the
plan to you, and I learn that there
Is a family in Brutus by ’he name of
Linemnn. Tlie family Is just a lady
and her daughter, poor hut honest, and
sometimes they t«ke hoarders and
roomers. It would be a good idea
for Lucia and Mrs. Alberts to make
reservations there.”
For once Lucia was deluded, and
early December found her rooming
with the Linemans and enjoying her-
self Immensely. She roamed the woods
every day with either Miss Lineman or
Mrs. Alberts as a companion, and her
rosy cheeks were becoming more rosy.
"It's the life!” she cried. “Nothing
is lacking.”
But one day while wandering aim
lessly through a strip of pine forest
she became separated from Miss Line
man. She called repeatedly, but could
get no response.
“I’m lost,” she decided, but she was
not greatly alarmed. In fact, the nov
elty was rather exhilarating.
She continued along the path, swing
ing with a carefree motion In spite of
her predicament, and whistling softly.
Suddenly a man stepped from behind a
tree—a tall, blond young man, garbed
In hunting costume, carrying a gun.
She stopped and stared at him, and
he stared back. There was something
fascinating in the look from his eyes,
and she was spellbound. A strange
power she had never before felt drew
her to him.
"He’s come at last,” she breathed.
"This Is the man that was meant for
me.” Aloud she said: “I’m lost. Can
you help me?”
Adam Forthgiver and his erstwhile
employee were having the time of their
lives. Only once had they gone hunt
ing. and on that occasion they had not
found anything to shoot at. and proh-
nbly would not have fired if they had.
They loved the outdoors and had no
particular propensity for killing.
On one of their tramps the young
men became separated. Adam felt some
trepidation, for he was not well ac
quainted with the pine forest they had
been exploring; but he continued walk
ing along the path, calling to his guide.
He hoped the path would take him
somewhere, but was not sure It would,
there was such a network of paths,
crossing nnd recrossing one another
nt many points.
Some carving on a tree drew his at
tention.
“This looks like the tree we cut our
names in the other day,” he said, and
proceeded to investigate. It was as he
had suspected, and with the tree as a
marker he felt reasonably sure he
could find his way.
As he stepped from behind the tree
he came,face to face with a girl, a
i
remarkably attractive girl. He caught
his breath.
“Can It he?" he exclaimed, as he
stared back. "Can It be this is the girl
I’ve been watting for all these years?
Love at first sight? That sure is what
this is."
Mrs. Glendale Chesterton sipped her
sixth cup of ten.
"Well, we got them married.”
said, setting tlie cup on the table.
Mrs. Forthgiver sighed.
“Yes, they’re both married, nil right;
but such a horrible mess! We sent
Lucia and Adam into the woods to
marry each other, and instead Lucia
picks out Adam’s guide for u husband
and Adam decides that Lucia’s land
lady’s daughter Is the girl for hint.
Such a mess I”
“Still. If they’re both happy—"
served Mrs. Chesterton, picking up
cup. “Won’t you have some tea?"
“No more, thank you,” replied
guest. “I suppose we may as wt.ll
make the best of IL As you say, i is
long aa they’re happy—’’
