MATCHMAKER
By MYRTA ALICE LITTLE.
U<G. 1820. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Miss Darthla Prentiss was a born
matchmaker. She had always lived
lu a small town and she had made al
most everybody's match except her
own In the whole vicinity. The only
reason that she was still "Miss" was
that she had not yet found "exactly
the right oue, don't you know." Then,
too. Miss Darthla was very shy and
self-forget ful.
But Miss I'rentlss, though not on
the sunrise side any more, never wear
led of looking about, for her young
friends, of course, and bringing Just
the right couples together In her cozy
little home under the maples, while
she remained In the background In
prim gray and lavender and white
frilled aprons and made puffy bis
cuits and cakes and scalloped pota
toes and tea for the younger folks.
When the new high school principal
came to town and tried to get hoard
with the little lady, ho met with a
prompt refusal.
"I've heard a lot about what a
quiet, homey placo 'twould be and
about the cooking I'd get." The man
smiled persuasively.
I'.ut Miss Darthla flushed and folded
her little white bands and assured
hlut that there'd be too much talk If
she let him board there, and there
was Just.as nice places, lots o'f them.
But she'd invite him there once In a
while with sntne desirable young la
dles he'd enjoy meeting. She would
do -that, certainly. And why didn't
Mr. Itn'ntlnlph try to get in over at
Johnson's?
So Hugh Randolph, high school pro
fessor. boarded across the street at
the Johnsons, and little Miss Darthla
promptly began to plan which one of
the three Johnson girls he would mar
ry. There was Corn, who sang beauti
fully ; and Nora, who was pretty as it
pink, and Lnrn, who made the most
delectable Jellies and preserves and
puddings.
When Professor Hugh had been In
town a week, little Miss I'rentlss In
vited him to have tea with her. And
she ln\ ited Cora Johnson to come over,
too. And she played Cora's accom
pt nlmrnts on the little reed organ,
and she Joined her with her own alto
mi. ,. !•; n while. Just to show Professor
Ilitrh how- sweet and clear and beau
tiful tho vounc girl's voice was com
pnr-d with her ov.n funny old quaver.
"He'll notice all this when he's
away fr> 111 •"'era's home and environ
ment, wiili a middle-aged lady around,
mop ." she told herself, as she sot the
table, anil practiced Just how sho
would bring It In nicely that Corn
,'folii -on Ir -I the sweetest disposition
she had ever known.
The Utile lady noticed after that
that l'r.-r. -or Htmli used t« go walk
In:: of Monday evenings with Corn.
So MNs I'arthln decided it was time
:':it she Invited Professor Hugh and
.Vera over in ten.
And she sat in the full glare of the
big lamp so I bat he would be sure to
onnt. ,i-t !• iliiv wrinkles with Norn's
sir iot!i r a- I efce.'
.»ii'! r that :he professor did
"
And Ihev often st >->pod at Miss Dar
tliia - n ! chatted with her about
her hollyhock and bachelor buttons.
And once the little lady found the
couru-'e to offer the professor a blue
butfon villi whit" fringed ed'/es and
if press ftie hurried wish thai lie would
find some nice young girl to sew It on
fo- him. Then she bad hung her head,
fearful that she had said too much.
I'.ut the man's voice was reassuring.
"I'm looking round. Miss Prentiss,"
he told her cheerily.
A'id Miss Dartliht sighed expectantly.
And about a week after that she had
I.ora and the professor in for tea and
she took especial pains to tell her
miosis that Lorn had given her the
recipe for the rmrshmnllow cream.
Only I.ora had a knack of cooking that
she could never '-•■■t. And I.ora blushed
prettily. Anil Mi« Darthla went on
to say that I.ora hail sent In the rasp
berry preserves 10 her Inst winter,
owl she'd been keeping tliem for such
!< festive occasion. Fur she never coiWd
kjiuiI I.ora Johnson in preparing
things to cat.
lnppy tTi.it evening as he bade Miss
I»;«rtIsi:i c» "l-n!cht, and the little lady
noticed that lie bent very close over
l.oia, as If whispering something of
great significance, as they walked
down bet |iiiili together.
So little Miss Prentiss decided that
«lio had done all she could for the
present, and she would just wait.
Whichever girl Hugh Randolph chose
\vi uld lie ll:o most fortunate, Ideally
happy with such a husband.
Miss Darthia wound the old clock
In the corner and put out the lights.
1 Then she heard a sound on the gravel
path, and in another moment she
J heard a quick, masterful voice iu the
! doorway, telling her things.
"I've just told I.ora and I've de
cided ! She is glad, too. The sweet
voice like a child's, filled with loving
and selfishness. The flowers and the
dainty wholesoineness all round. 1
want to hoard with you. Miss Darthia.
1 want j on 10 sew on my buttons, Ut
ile lady. Pretty as a picture in your
gray and white here In the moonlight
with th: t pure white brow! I want
to marry you, dear lady. It's you.
1 love you, little Darthia Prentiss."
And Miss Darthia. trembling, knew
1 that In some strange, beautiful way
the right :;.:>n had found her there in
L tier little hotue amoug the maples.
