Every body said so, and she admitted It. To be snippy means not only to be Inde pendent, but to bo Insolent as well. It means to llounee around. It mentis to Klve a man a cold staro if nicks on fprtr handkerchief. It moans that If a policeman tells fou that Smith street la only two Mocks over you will walk three Works over Just to buow that ho Is tot bo nmchy much, It means gnub Slng thu young men and humiliating ttia Klrla. No one likes a snippy girl, but she oosn't care a clothespin for that. She Ifh-es herself, and that's enough. Bntppy Miss Adams had goua on Sflliifc- snippy until she had arrived at the age of 20. It had been predicted ,M different times, by 50 different per sons that the day would corns when fcer snlppinxss would bring hor proud' head Jour, but nothing had happened iet. While Miss Adams' father was a uburbau banker and always had smough cusli In the vaults to guard gainst a run, and while he hud an suto and kept a chau!tur, and while toe young lady could have rolled- up town like a Duchess, she alw-.ys came tad went by the trolley line. At first people gave) her credit for Selng democratic but they soon fath md her motived. K she Journeyed by nt-.to s'.o could "only b snippy to the chauffeur, and he could only speak Uroken engMsh and didn't care-wh.it Bhe said or how pert she acted. If she took tha trolley car there was always at least seven passengers to notice her and her snfpptuess. One morning, at 9 o'clock. Miss Adams took the oar to put in a long day in the shopping districts. A strange young man took the same car. She had never seen his face before and judged him to be a new arrival in the village. Mr. Robert McLaln was ihe name of tlin young inan who sat opposite her. He had something to do with a life Insurance company uptown. Yes, ho had Just moved out w ith his moth er.. Ho took the trolley because he had no auto. He merely glanced at Miss Adams as he took his seat and began reading his newspaper. Such an action on the part of a young man was provok ing. It was more. It might almost be termed Insolence. Why dldu't he steal glances over the top of his paper at her? j Why didn't he wonder who she was ; and move his feet about to show that I ho was wondering? j There was a fat woman next to him,. shoulder to shoulder, and be could have asked Information In a whisper, but he didn't. The ear ran over a dog a mils or two out, and Mtss Adams gave a little scream. The young man -looked up, but not at ltsr. He looked at a vlne-gar-taced old man and smiled.. Sh would havs snubbed him had he smil ed at her. and yet she was provoked that he didn't Mir Adams dropped a nickel on the floor.' Alt heard, the drop, and all heard her exclamation. It came to a rest almost at Mr. Mclln's feet, but did he throw his paper aside and scramble for It? Not a bit of it. 'TW0". M A 'BOAT 11 Four men and two women covered themselves with glory trying to rescue that coin from the gratings, and the conductor finally came in and did the triok. Not the slightest interest on the part of the young man, and the fat woman beside him noticed the flash of the girl's eyes and said to herself: "She'll wake him up and humble him if It takes a whole year to do It I " The opportunity came within 20 minutes. At the terminus Miss Adams followed tha young man out on the platform. As she rescended the steps she seemed to stumble, and he heard her exclamation of dismay. He whirled and extended his hand to save her from a fall, but she was not in the least danger. "O!" suid Mr. McLaln In confusion. "Sir!" demanded the girl. Miss Snippy Adams had got even, and a feeling of satisfaction was with her all day as she shopped. She took the car lor home without the faintest lda that the young man would be a passenger also, but there he was, comfortably seated and scan ning the pages of a magaxlne. So far as she could tell he did not notice her entrance. She sat opposite and hoped to administer another snub. Among tha- articles she had pur chased, and was bringing home by hand rather than trust to the delivery, were -throe yards of -cosily lace. By and by Miss Adams, got the Inspira tion she. was looking for. The little package was dropped as the nickel had. been and- it bounded and struck the young man's foot. Be fore any other passenger had moved Mr. McLaln had bent over and picked up the package, and after a brief look at It hs handed It to a woman at his right with, the words: "Your package, madam?" And that wasn't the worst of It by half. The woman bowed her thanks and put the package away in ber bag, and then looked around the car care lessly and Innocently as you please. Mies Adams had to control herself Ten days later, on a Saturday after noon. Miss Adams started tor the poat ofllce, seven or eight blocks away. At the third corner she encountered Mr. McLaln, He wasn't lying In wait for her, but simply strolling. She glared and ele vated her chin, but he raised his bat "IT WAS CERTAINLY A NARROW ESCAPE." until the end of the run was reached, and then threaten the woman with ar-1 rest If she did not hand over the lace, i f "O, how 1 hate that cad of a man!"! I she exclaimed to herseir after she got ! home. Young Mr. Mcfiulu was ntrtN cad. i . He had simply got eveu w ith a snippy j i glii. and had been very e,u!-t about It. i and satd: 'They hare the sewer open at the next corner, ana you d . better turn down and take the next street." "Sir!" she answered, as she con tinued on and the snipprnesa she put Into that short word would have wilted a whole garden -of cabbage heads. " Tw, they had opened th?" sewer end put down a narrow plank from bank to bank. No woman, and but few men bad dared attempt the feat. Miss Adams shivered as she came to a halt, but, sure that Mr. McLain was watching her, and anxious to let him see that his advice had been a piece of impudence, she boldly start ed out on the pi auk. "Go bark! Go back!" called one of the diggers, and a hoodlum of a boy added: "It'll be as good as a fire to see you kerflop!" The "kerflop" came, of course. Things began to whirl 'round and 'round, and with a wild ebrlek the girl left the plank to bring up In the mud and water 12 feet below. Naturally, she was hauled out by means of a rope. Naturally, she was all nnjseed up. Naturally a crowd was drawu by the accident, and naturally or unnaturally, that Bame hoodlum of a boy had to shout out: "Be keerful and don't let the old gal come up feet first!" "I could kill that young man. I could kill him!" said Miss Adams a day or two later, when the mud had been scraped off and her bruises at tended to. And yet Mr. McLaln had turned down another street and knew noth ing of the accident During the next three weeks noth ing happened. Both the young man and the snippy girl livsd on and ate their three square meals a day. Then Fate interfered nraJn One spring morning Mr. McLaln j ndKvui) ii in. ia-Kie una went nsning I In the rlvMv On her part; Miss Adam took her motor boat out Shehad never gone out a!one be fore aud hfr experience with the en girt was limited, but ! vent a!s?3;l. She liadu't reached the point of rash ness, however, when Mr. McLaln called ; to her from a dock: "I think there Is something wrong' with your engine!" Up went Miss Snippy's chin. "I think It's going to stop on yon!" Up went Miss Snippy's nose. "If it does you'll drift down over the dam!" "Sir!" "If you'll run your boat ashore I'll overhaul It" No real lady ever tells a man to go to Oconomawock in so many words. They tell him In looks and shruggs." McLaln was told, and two minutes lat-. er the motor boat's engines had' stopped and the craft was drifting, i There was not another launch out.', and the only thing - available was a plug of a tklff with one oar aboard.' The young man plied Into this and be-1 gan to paddle after. v - Half a dozen people were drowned. every year by being carried over that! great dam. Miss Adams had read of case after case, and she wasn't long in realising ner danger. The batteries might have been fixed by a competent hand In a minute, but she couldn't do tt. Perhaps she did the best thing under the circum-. stances Jy sot trying to do anything.! She was within 30 feet of the damf when the tktff made the rescue, andi It was a flre-mtcnte struggle with th: current before -safety was assured. ' "ft was certainly a narrow escape!! gasped 'the rescuer. "Sir!"-replied the girl, and it was, 15 teronds bifore she added-: "I shall be pleased to hav you call! thltv vetiing." t ' The courtship is coming along alii right, end the snippiness has'bjen left, cut of It ' "
