and calla upon Miss 1'rutt and her friend,
Ulsa Parcher.

certain matters conceiving William's love
affair to her mother. She also knows the
fact that William has abstracted his fa
ther's dress suit.
William's attentions to Miss Pratt and
those of rivals get on Mr. Pnrcher's nerves.
Jane tells Mr. Parcher In secret that Wil
liam can't get his father's dress suit any
longer because It Is being altered.
Mrs. Baxter tells William tAe has sent
Mr. Baxter's dress suit to the tailor for
alterations. He Is crestfallen and quarrels
with Jane.
Mrs. Baxter gives a party for Miss
Pratt. William, descending the stairs,
falls and tears his best suit. He had sat
on Jane's paint b»x with mother present
able suit.
His troubles detain him till the party to
0rer, to his great chagrin. Later ha dis
cusses matrimony with the aged parent of
Sanesls. Jane la present at tha discus
sion.
William goes for a walk with Miss Pratt,
swinging his father'3 borrowed cane.

ried The parents, at tlrst alarmed, dis
miss the subject. William goes picnick
ing. and a new rival turns up.

William's Ire. They vow vengeance upon
Mm.
William writes a touching farewell note
and poem, which he Incloses In a box of
candy fur Miss Pratt. He goes to the sta
tion with the box.
He spies Miss Pratt and a party of
young friends and goes toward them. He
creates derision and turns to find June
and her youn^ friend parading alter hlin
and getting even. A brief gondii}- and a
surprise at the o.td.
The small noises <>f the town—that
town s<> empty tonight—fell upon bis
ears mockingly It seemed to him In
credible that so hollow a town could
go about Its nightly affairs just as
usual. A man and a woman going by
laughed loudly at something the man
bad said. The sound of tbeir laughter
was borrld to William. And from a
jreat distance—from far out in the
country—there came the faint, long
drawn whistle of an engine.
That was the sorrowfulest sound ot
all to William. His lonely mind's eye
sought the vasty spaces of the east—
cross<*J prairie ami river and bill to
where a long train whizzed onward
through the dark, further and farther
and farther away. William uttered a
sigh so hoarse, so deep from the tombs,
■o prolonged, that Jane, who had been
relaxing herself at full length opon
the floor, sat up straight with a Jerk
But she was wise enough not to speak.
Now the full moon came masquerad
ing among the branches of the shade
trees. It came in the likeness of an
enormous football, gloriously orange.
Gorgeously it rose higher, cleared the
trees and resumed its wonted Imper
sonation of a silver disk. Here' was
another mockery. What was the use
of a moon now?
There came from a little distance
down the street the sound of a young
male voice, singing. It was not a mu
sical voice, yot sufficiently loud, and
It knew only a portion of the words
and air it sought to render; but, upon
completing the portion It did know, It
Instantly began again and sang that
portion over and over with brightest
patience. Thus:
"My countree, 'tis of the*,
8w»et land ot liber-tee,
My countree, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of llber-tee.
My countree, 'tis of the<
Sweat land of llber-tee,
My oountroe, 'tis of thee,
Swaet land of llber-tee,
My countrei, 'tis"—
Jane spoke unconsciously. "J{'s Fred
dle.ILshe saM. __ . .
William "leaped to his feet This wai
something be could not bear. He made
a bloodthirsty dash toward the gate,
which the singer was passing.
"You get out o' here!" William roared.
The song stopped. Freddie Banks
fled like a rag on the wind.
Now here Is a strange matter.
The antique prophet* prophesied suc
cessfully; they practiced with some
ease that art since lost, but partly re
discovered by M. Maeterlinck, who
proves to us that the future already
exists, simultaneously ,wlth the pres
ent Well, If hl» proofs be true, then
at this very moment when William
thought menacingly of Freddie Banks,
the bright air of a happy June evening
—an evening ordinarily reckoned ten
years, nine months and twenty-one
days In advance of this present sor
rowful evening—the bright air of that
happy June evening, so far In the fu
ture, was actually already trembling to
a wedding march played upon a church
organ, and this self same Freddie,
with a white flower In his buttonhol*
and In every detail accoutred as a wed
ding usher, was an ush<y for this very
William who now (as we ordinarily
count time) threatened his person.
Di.t * —4 1
As William turned again to resume
his meditations upon the steps his in
credulous eyes fell upon a performance
amazingly beyond fantasy and with
out parallel as a means to make scorn
of him. Not ten feet from the porch,
and in the white moonlight that made
brilliant the path to the gate, Miss
Mary Randolph Klrsted was walking.
She was walking with Insulting pom
posity in her most pronounced semi
circular manner.
"You get out o' here!" she said in a
voice as deep and hoarso as she could
make it. "You get out o' here!"
Ilcr intention was as plain as the
rnoi'ii. .^he was presenting in her own
person a sketch of William, by this
means expressing her opinion of him
and avenging .Tunc.
"You get out o* here.'" she croaked.
The shocking audacity took William's
breath, lie gasped.
"Why, you—you"— he cried. "You—
you sojty faced little girl!"
In this fashion he directly addressed
Miss Mary Randolph Kirsttd for tht
first tinie in his life.
And that was the strangest thing of
this strange evening, strangest be
eatise. as with life itself, there was
nothing rctnail al'ie up-n the surfa»
of it. Rut If M. Maeterlinck has the
right of the matter and if the bright
air of that. June evening, almost eleven
years In the* so cnilfc.V Tufdre, tras in
deed already trembling to "Lohengrin,"
then William stood with Johnnie Wat
son against a great bank of flowers at
the door of a church aisle, that aisle
was roped with white oatln ribbons,
and William and Johnnie were wait
ing for something Important to hap
pen. And then, to the strains of "Here
Comes the Bride," It did—a stately,
solemn, roseate, gentle young thing
with bright eyes seeking through a
veil for William's eyes.
Yes, If great M. Maeterlinck Is right,
It seems that William ought to have
caught at least some eerie echo of that
wedding march, however faint—some
bars or strains adrift before their time
upon the moonlight of this September
night in his eighteenth year.
For there, beyond the possibility of
any fate to Intervene or of any later
vague, fragmentary memory of even
Mies Pratt to impair, there In that
moonlight was his future before him.
He started forward furiously. "You
—you—you little"—
But he paused, not wasting his breath
upon the empty air.
QU bride to be was gone.
THE END.
Snappy Ones.
SALTED PEANUTS.—Buy the Span
lsh peanuts, which are the cus
tomary size and all shelled. They
must be raw or unbaked. Now take a
kettle and All two-thirds full of melted
lard and when it is hot pour in pea
nuts, but do not put in more than the
lard will cover well. You must stir
them all the time carefully so that they
will not burn. It takes about fifteen
minutes to cook two quarts In a shal
low kettle. You will have to taste,
however, to see when they are cooked.

boll with two cupiuS, wiite'r oYefr "Very
hot Are, so they will boll at one®.
Cover for n few minutes, remove cover
and mash; add the sugar and boil thred
minutes. Mash first through colander
