HIS CHOICE
By JESSIE DOUGLAS.
toy. 1KSK. D> ilcl_lur« .
"l'ou don't think she's pretty?" Kit
ty asked scornfully. "Why, her eyes
are blue!" she opened her own brown
ones to their widest and gnve William
Davey a glance through fringed lashes.
"Really, a faded blue, I think I" And
she paints—my, how that girl paints 1"
"Why. I thought—"
"That's all you know about It. then!"
she answered almost snappl^ily. "And
Marcla's features aren't a bit regular."
"I went Into the library to get a
book I couldn't find.and she showed
me Just where It was In the shelves—
smart little thing—" he said almost
to hiui-vlf.
"Of course, if Mnrcia wants to work
It's all very well, but I think a girl s
place Is at home; at least a girl 'of our
class." she said decisively.
Then she looked up at William
Davey and said. "Aren't you starved?
I am." A dimple thimble deep in her
curving cheek caught his eye and he
admitted to himself that Kitty was the
prettiest thing he knew.
He watched Kitty's hands as they
flew about the preparations, soft white
hands with pink oval nails. She light
ed the lamp uuder the chafing dish and
-ung for Sarah. When Surah came In
to the room bearing a tray that held
cheese and butter anil toast and tall
glasses, William's eyes were again
fascinated by the skill and rapidity
of those soft hands of Kitty's as they
stirred the bubbling mess in the ehafing
dish.
It was a delicious rabbit and Kitty
and William laughed anc chattered,
but underneath it all William was con
scious of a discomfort th it he could
not place.
When he had said good nlglit and
the door had banged after him, Kitty
cauie back into the sitting room and
threw herself down angrily on the big
couch.
"Fool!" she cried to the pillows.
"He's a fool! Why doesn't he pro
pose? I wouldn't even think of tak
ing him If tiis father didn't own the
Davey mills—old stupid—"
'Til soon make William stop living
the simple life. After he marries me
he'll have to clve up that room over
a shop nn Fairview street and stop
being a workman In the mills." She
blew out the candles beside the mir
ror and climbed the stairs undauntedly.
William Davey/' walking home
through the darkness, was thinking of
Kitty—and thinking hard. ".love, hut
-he was pretty. A bit fligoty.
course, and lots of notions. That about
not working, for Instance, when her
father really needed her help."
Mi- thought of Klttv again suddenly,
when he- went Into the library a few
n'glits later, returning the hook on
iner.hnnrs that he had been studying.
}le ivmemhered as he handed the hook
across the counter to Mania linden
<hni Klttv had «nld her eyes were fad
ed. faded? ' lie looked Into their
!:.tn<lmvnt blue depths qtrte forgetful
.if what he wa< doing until he saw
Marcla's cheeks begin to deepen their
rose. Paint?—no. Kitty was mistaken
there. Mnrcia didn't paint. Funny how
dr'> i-oiild get those tilings wrong.
"Could you show me?" he stumbled,
"when* I'd find the second volume of
this?"
He followed her mrr» one 01 iu.- owa.
duvkv. hook-lined abysses while she
pointed .nit the hook sitting smtgly on
Us sli.-lf. She reached up to it and as

resulnr. but with :i certain pii|uaney.
n certain something that drew his eyes
nack to Iters.
"I say." he n<ke<l. "what time ifo
yon set through here?"
"At nine." she smiled; and Willliim
wondered why two such simple word'*
should sound sii charming. "Is there
anything else I can do for you?"
"Yes, you can let me walk home with
you." he said.
She did not answer "yes" or "no."
out when at nine he stood waiting for
her. she smiled demurely up at him.
All the way home he caught glimpses
of her face beneath the lighted street
lamp; and as at last she stood on her
own doorstep, with the yellow light
falling on her. lie wondered why he
had never noticed her before.
Hut It was Marcia herself who star
tled him.
"I'm leaving here In a month." she
said. "I've been offered a much hotter
position In Uockport." She held out
a hare hand and then as he took It In
his big one, she said. "Oh. don't please,
don't look at It!" and drew hack the
roughened little hand.
"You see my hands aren't soft be
cause I take care of the stoves." she
said.
William suddenly saw another pair
of hands, soft, white, with oval pink
nails; for some reason a curious lump
got in the way of his (aliens.
"flood night." he said at last.
Why was It that that small rough
hand should come before him again
aud again on his way home? And
those expressive eyes, and a mouth
neither small nor bowshaped but gen
tle In Its curves? He let himself Into
his own rpmlnt chamber at last and
before he struck a match he spoke
aloud to himself In the darkness.
"If It hadn't been for Kitty, I would
never have known that the other girl
existed ! I bonder if I've got a chance,"
he pondered.
While over on High street a girl
lifting a shovelful cf coal Into the
fire with a small roughened hand was
smiling radiantly, as she looked Into
the tiny blue flames that leaped up to
uittvt her.
BEDSTEADS THAT SAVE SPACE
| Three-Story Sleeping Places Are the
Latest Idea to Be Placed
on the Market.
| Two-story bed*, that Is to say, betl
j steads containing two beds placed one
1 above the other, have been In use for
years, but something rather novel In
I'thls line Is the three-story bed, con
I mining three beds, one above another,
I which was placed upon the market not
so long ago.
These bedsteads, which are tuade
entirely of Iron, are so constructed
that they can be knocked down to oc
cupy comparatively small space for
convenience iu handling in shipment
and transportation, the three-story
! bed separating into live parts, the head
and foot sections and the three beds,
each bed section having a wire mat
tress permanently attached to the side
and end pieces.
At the ends of each mattress frame
are pins that tit into slots placed at
suitable heights up the head and foot
pieces. To set up a two or three-story
bed one simply stands up the head and
foot pieces and drops the pins on the
mattress frames into tlie slots and
there Is the bedstead with its wire
springs In each tier ready to receive
the mattresses.
Bedsteads of this sort are intended
for camps, apartments, steamers ,or
wherever the floor space is limited.
TOKEN OF THEIR GOOD WILL
I Soviet Government Made Present of
Entire Train to Americans Whom
They Expelled.
When the soviet government took
control in the Crals, writes French
Strother in the World's Work, tlie
workmen at Kyshtiiu organized their
soviet. They waited on the American
staff at the mines and said they were
sorry, but a new duv had dawned. In
which the workers would be able to
own and operate everything them
selves. Regretfully, because they
liked them, they would have to send
their American friends away. The day
of their departure arrived and the
workmen and their wives and children
escorted the slnlT. as a guard of honor,
to a special train which they had pro
vided to take tlietn away from Kysh
tlm. The train was decked with flags
and loaded with flowers and delicacies.
Just as it was about to pull out, amid
the friendly shouts of the newly en
throned proletariat, the leader of the
• soviet in srreut excitement called the
i senior American hack to the platform.
"I almost forgot to tell yon," he
gashed. "The special train—don't
I bother 10 send It back; l! also is a
presi-nt from the soviet to .our good
| friends the Americans."

BISCUIT PERFUME
By R. RAY BAKER
At seven o'clock George Henderson's
nlarm clock rnug down the curtain on
the dream and his eyes sprang open.
The room looked the same as al
ways. and yet there seemed something
strange about It Finally It dawned
on him thut a perfume from the past
was scenting up his surroundings—«
peffume of baking biscuits.
The strange thing about It was that
la his dream he hail been seated at a
table about to begin nn attack on
warm biscuits and maple syrup.
The faint sound of an oven door
banging shut and the rattling of pans
came from the next room.
"The new light housekeepers,"
George commented, as he crawled from
bed and began to dress. "That won't
last long. Mrs. Mnloney simply won't
stand for auy baking."
Arriving at his office, George waded
Into his correspondence, gave Instruc
tions to his assistants and clerks, then
| secluded himself from all callers and
gave himself up to day dreams.
Elsie Havers was the cause and the
subject of these dreams, George could
not forget her, although he had seen
her last ten years ago. At first, when
he came to Detroit, he had given her
scarcely a thought, he was so busy
making good In the real estate "game;"
and besides, his fellow workers were
acquainted with a number of attractive
city girls, one of whom quite cap
tivated George and allowed lilrn to
spend a great deal of time with her
and a great deal of money on her; un
til her former sweetheart, who had
been West, came back and married
her, and took her to Colorado.
When George recovered from the
blow he discovered ho had never loved
Vivian; it had been simply a case of
infatuation. Ills thoughts naturally re
verted to Elsie, and he attempted to
renew his neglected correspondence
with her. Ills letters came back un
opened, .stamped "Unclaimed." He
wrote to mutual friends and learned
that Elsie and her mother had left
Harbor Springs and were living In Chi
cago, although their address was unob
tainable.
"Why not pay the old town n visit,
anyhow?" he asked himself afler a few
moments more of cogitation.
Twelve hours Inter he stepped off
the train at Harbor Springs. As he
walked up a bluff Ills g:dt Increased.
Before long he met a farm llivver
In which he noticed a number of large
| tin cans.
'Hello." lie called. "Wait n minute."
The drivi-r applied lite brakes, and
tho machine stopped.
"Well, well." said the driver. "If It
ain't George Ilrnd 'rson!"
"I'.ill Jackets!" George' exclaimed,
and he extendi") a hand, which met
j a firm, warm H.-.-p. "Are ym: still deal
ing in maple syrup?"
"Vou hot. Hi re's thirty gallons. I'm
.tuklng 'em to the store."
| "Won't twenty-nine -e enough for
j the store?" askeil iJinrie. reaching for
his pocko.book. "I haven't tasted

with white hair, tuistfed to the door.
When fieorge <nw tier he dropped the

George wits walking toward the
kitchen. He stuck his head through
the doorway and his eyes took in n
young lady bending before the oven.
The girl looked up anil tbelr glances

"What—what are you doing here?"
she faltered, and her eyes- found the

"I Just dropped in for breakfast.
You see, I luive maple syrup, and you

we might collaborate.
"Yes." observed Mrs. Havers, ns
she poured syrup on a biscuit, "we
thought It would be nice to spend the
summer in the old home—be reporters,
like the folks over on the point; so
here we are—-came Just yesterday

well, but Elsie thought she could get a
better position in Detroit, so we moved
there only last week. We found a nice
place right at the start, but we had 'o

our biscuits, a: d Mrs. Maloney said
