IA Sharpshooter
Duel
By SAMUEL E. BKAND
At the close of I lie Spanish-American
! war Kdwaril Cunningham, who bad
I been through the Santiago campaign
as a private iu a sharpshooter regi
ment, was considered au expert in that
line of warfare. He knew all the
dodges in drawing an enemy's tire to
an inanimate object, in causing him
to show himself, aud had the ability to
put a bullet Just where he pleased at
almost any distance.
t'uuuiughaiii left college to go to the
war, and when he came out of it, he
lm: much run duwn by the climate of
Cuba, he divided to go abroad to re
cover his strength.
In Paris Ned met a couple of young
Americans who had been in the Span
ish war. and the three set about seo
ing Paris. One evening at a cafe they
ran up against a party of French army
officers. who, recognizing them for
Americans, began to make invidious
remarks against the I'nited States.
They said nothing calling for resent
ment. however, till Xed took a little
sl'k I'nitcd States Hag out of his |>oek
! et and waved it in their faces.
"Put that dirty rag up!" said one of I
thi> officers.
"You call that a dirty rag, do you?"
said Ned. his eye lighting with anger.
"I'll I'ivo yuu a colored shirt." And he I
threw some wine from his glass in the I
I officer's fare and on his bosom. The '
man thus attacked caltnh wiped away
[ '.he v. iue with his napkin, then said a
few words to one of the others, who
came !•■ the table of the Americans |
an-1 detnamlcd satisfaction! under the
code. Oiuniiigham assented, but. be
ing the challenged party and thus hav
ing the choice of terms under which
the iluel should take place, chose for
the meeting grounds a farm some
twenty miles from Paris and for weap
ons rilles The principals were to take
positions a mile apart and advance,
.'a h eondueiing the campaign accord
I inr to his own secret will.
i This did nut suit the Frenchman at

The two principals were placed, tlio

them was made tip of lields partly and
riiln'y wooded. T'nle«s they purposely

was concerned. was not so great ns

Tliev hud scarcely left their iiositions

scarecrows are usually made. Having
finished this work, he held his figure

Hannah
f Marvin's Job
Why She Gave It Up
.{. By REINETTE LOVEWELL
!j! Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co.
naiMiab Marvin's haggard eyes were
fixed u|'iin the Illuminated text of a
small framed motto on the wall at ber
left, "When the Outlook Is Not Good
Try the Uplook."
.A s she read her wide mouth set it
self in n line of bitterness, and she
turned invay disgustedly.
The waiting room of the Remwood
Typewriter Employment agency was
badly congested. Groups of girls were
chattering together iu the humid heat
Ilannah was an "old girl." Tbe
term was used 1» tbe office, with dis
respect, solely because it was descrip
tive. It was abbreviated into "O. G.,"
aiul rianuah had caught a glimpse of
these Initials on ber registration card
and with a chill of heart guessed their
meaning.
A newcomer Interrupted ber thoughts
by sitting down quite close beside ber.
Hannah turned toward ber with un
disguised annoyance, but her sharp
glance became a steady stare.
The girl beside her wore a plnln
Utile gown of green checked gingham,
and the pink tlusb on ber face was so
lovely and so natural a coloring that
Hannah's eyes, long accustomed to
powdered cheeks, rested upon it in
credulously. dropping finally to the ex
quisite line of a lull white throat
The giri turned to her and spoke
shyly.
"Wlnit do you have to do to get
work here—show your recommenda
tions?" she asked.
"Recommendations here don't mean
much," Hannah answered sharply
"The best argument you can put up Is
the price you've worked for and bow
much experience you've had."
"I've worked a year." the girl an
swered.
"Here in Now York?" Hannah ques
tioned.
"No—up state."
"Can you read your notes?" nannah
asked practically.
"I certainly can." the girl came back
with n confidence that surprised her
questioner.
"Well, you ought to get something."
she encouraged. "Better go up and
shove those fresh kids away and talk
right up to the manager. How'd you
happen to corne down to the city?"
Hannah Inquired.
"Oh, 1 just wanted to get n better
chance. 1 got awfully tired of living
In Lytnansville. I've been here only a
week, but"'—
She stopped hesitatingly.
"Oh. I don't know," she finished.
"These girls seem awfully different
some way And they don't look well
Titer are so thin and-'—
"They (lon't oat enough or sleep
enough," Hannah Interrupted.
A wcels passed. By some mi worded
understanding Hannah and the up
state girl sat together In the waiting
room each day.
Neither was sent out. and Hannah,
realizing how low were her own re
sources, forced her way one morning
to the front and demanded the reason
why she couldn't get work.
The manager answered her outburst
gently.
"You see. Miss Marvin," she said,
"we have very few calls that require
your experience, so many offices want
to vet very young <r*"ls and break them
in at a low rale."
Hannah sniffed with comprehension.
"I know I'm old," she said bluntly,
"but 1 can get out the work"—
The eyes of the manager showed
sympathetic understanding.
"I'm sure you can." she said kindly
"And we are bound to have a call be
fore long for some one of your expe
rience."
Hannah went back to her scat aud
thought about her experience with bit
ter recollection
The girl from up state was reading a
letter from home, and her face, which
had grown pale and a little thin, was
again rosily ilushed She turned
dreamy eyes toward Hannah Inqulr
I ingly and then let them go back to
the bold handwriting on the sheets she
held.
Hannah continued to think about her
I "experience."
Only tiie night before she had found,
quite by accident, an old photograph of
herself taken when she had first come
to New York, twenty years before.
She had studied it long and curiously
until she burned with bitterness.
Beauty she had uever possessed, but
she had been vivacious. Joyous and
•'smart." In those days ber father had
been prosperous, aud there was no
need for her to toil. It was then that
she had met. loved and promised to
marry Allen Morehouse. Three months
the engagement had lasted.
Sitting on the hard agency bench
twenty years later. Hannah Marvin
felt flame up within her the scorching
anger of her girlhood as she remember
cd her discovery of the life young
Morehouse was leading, the quarrel
that ensued and the heartless words
ho had spoken to her as he faced her
accusations.
After that there had been scarcely n
rift in the storm clouds. Her fnther
financially wrecked, had died and left
•lis daughter to earn her living as she
could She had tried the shorthand
and typewriting route then Just be
coming popular, and she had gone forth I
i to battle, unsmiling, silent, working |
lier way for her daily bread with re- I
lentless zeal.
A call from the manager summoned ,
Hannah forward at last, and she went, i
resentfully conscious of the curious
glances the other girla cast toward her.
"Here's a position. Miss Marvin, I
think you could fill," the woman be- j
hind the railing said. "It's a fifteen
dollar a week place and very good peo- j
pie. Will you go and see about it?"
A strange sensation of gratitude I
came to Hannah, and a smile appeared
on her face. It seemed to the mana
ger to be almost transfiguring.
"I'll go." she answered "I guess 1
can get out work that will suit them."
The manager smiled. "Good luck,"
she snid.
An hour later Hannah had walked
out of a great building with the knowl
edge that she had work. An eating
bouse caught her eyes as she walked
toward her room, and she went In and
sat down, realizing suddenly that she
bad eaten nothing that day.
As she sat with a menu card before
her she glanced up and saw entering
the girl from up state. She saw Han
nah and hurried toward her all smiles
and flushes.
"I've got a place!" she cried joyous
ly. "I'm going to work tomorrow.
It's $12 a week."
"Say, that's line."' said nannab
heartily. "What's the firm?"
"It's a kind of small insurance
business," the girl answered, taking a
card from her hand bag and laying it
before Hannah "That's the man's
name In tbe corner."
Hannah read and saw the room grow
dark before her.
She got up ami put her hands on the
young girl's shoulder.
"I've got to be going," she said.
With her hand on the knob of the
door she paused, turned sharply and
came back and sat down before tbe
girl from up state.
"Say, look here!" she said sharply.
"I've promised to take a fifteen a week
Job, but I made up my mind just now
to get out of New York, and I don't
want it. I've decided to leave the
city. The work isu't anything but
what you could do, and $3 a week Is a
lot when you come to think about It
Now, there isn't any reason why you
can't go right up there and say I sent
you and tell them what you can do.
I know you are all right. Will you?"
"Why. ye.s s. of course I will," the
girl answered.
"You run right along now. They are
expecting me back," said Hannah.
The girl from up state went radl
I antly
nannab sat for a long time at tbe
restaurant table, wttb her food nn
touched, trying to think what to do
[ next
j At a table behind ber a man with
j bent shoulders had watched the up
i state girl as she talked, and now. as
1 Hannah lingered, be sat at bis table
; with «ome papers spread out before
j him. Hut he did not read.
i The card of the Insurance company
| lav unheeded beside the girl's coffee
i cup nannab picked It up and read
| again the name of its representative.
It was Allen Morehouse.
I The name was printed in red. and
j the letters danced impishly before her
! eyes.
j rue imuroM »ua »u wc ..
I was quite near at hnnrl. not four blocks
i away, and a sudden Impulse made her
determine to go and tell bim why the
| flower faced girl he had hired would
j not return
j in live minutes she was In the In
i surance office. A boy asked her to
j wait, and she sank back on a bench.
1 In a few minutes sbe was motioned
| toward .Mr. .Morehouse's private office,
j A gray haired man was sitting before
j a flat desk. ITe was not very well
j dressed, but his eyes were level and
clear and kind.
I He looked up, and Hannah spoke.
"I came to say." she said, "that I've
sent that child you hired to a bet
| ter job. I thought I'd let you know
: that It was Hannah Marvin who was
j responsible for your losing her."
j "So you thought 1 wouldu't treat
■ that little girl well?" he questioned.
Hannah did not reply.
I "Sometimes." Morehouse went on.
"a man turns out better than you
! might expect I haven't amounted to
very much, but I've got this little busi
i ness here, and the girl who's left me
j was here eight years."
j Hannah's breath was coming irreg
j dlarly, and she felt dizzy.
"Hannah." he continued, "I've tried
! to find you a good while. I've been
j -sorry about—it all."
i He reached across the table and
I aught her baud
' "Hannah." he said again, "listen. I
i was there in the restaurant, aud I
sized up the whole situation. I know
| what you did, and—I've got a job for
j you. if you'll take it I'm ail alone,
i Mother died a year ago. I wish you'd
orae and take care of me. I wish—
you'd marry me now."
The woman's gray face flushed and
grew amazed. She stared at the man
before her unbelievingly.
Then the tears came, and as they fell
-lie brushed them away with the back
•■>f her thin hand.
"Why, don't you see," she said bro
kenly—"don't you see what I am now?
I'm just a crabbed old maid. I'm cross
and ugly and wornout Don't you
see?"
"Yes. I see." he said slowly. "You
looked just like that to mo when you
gave up your job to that child."
He drew her toward him awkwardly
"Hannah." he went on. "I've never
forgotten or forgiven myself for the
past. I've thought of you constaqtly
lately "
He stopped.
"Hannah." he finished hoarsely, "I
-I want you!"
