With a chap so poky.

After Sue as Hen is,
Ev’ry one clean gone on her—
Well, you know what men is—
When there's stacks of other gais
Jes us smart and pretty;
Seems th4 way they tag her round,
An all-tired pity!
Hen, o’eourse, is well set up
An’ he's no bad looker.
But he's not th’ stickin’ sort—
Went with Min an' shook 'er
Jes as soon as Sue come round.
With her ways so winnin';

Nothin’ short o' sinnin’.
Well, them tew they went that day

THEIR VARIED
HONEYMOONS
By TOM MASSON
•*"T\ ARLING, I want to speak to you
I ) about our honeymoon.”
How lovely!” exclaimed Mabel, her
eyes growing larger. “I know, dear, it
is something delightful.”
“Yes.” said Percy, ”1 think you will
agree with me that it is the right
thing to do. 1 have arranged, dearest,
to go to some quiet, obscure spot,
where we can be entirely alone with
each other. What do you say to that?”
"Why, Percy, dear,” she exclaimed
"that isn't my idea at all!”
“Then what is your idea?”
“Well, to Niagara—and Washing
ton.”
"But, darling, they're quite far apart
and you know, it wouldn’t be a real
honeymoon—it would be more like a
tour. Now. if we go to this quiet., out
of-the-way place 1 have selected, we
tan be entirely alone. I can love you
there to my heart's content.”
At last the knot was tied and they
were off in the carriage, leaving be
hind them a trail of old shoes and rice.
"Darling.” said he, "you know we
shall be very busy seeing things, and
r
m
to get the most out of our trip and not
feel uncomfortable. v.i mustn’t appear
ai all like a newly-m.o.i ■ coup...
‘‘Of course not!" answered Mabel, a
trifle vaguely.
“As soon as we get ou the train,”
continued Percy. “I'll change my hat,
and in case I appear absent-minded 01
indifferent, you’ll understand that it's
only because we don’t want to attract
at’ention.”
The train started. Percy put on a
slouch hat and disappeared in the
smoking room for two hours. Upon
his return Mabel laid her glo'ed hand
upon his arm.
“Can’t you sit with me, dear,” sht
whispered. “I’m so lonely.”
“Why.” replied Percy, “haven’t yoi
got the scenery. That’s what we carat
for.”
His bride tossed her head in the air
“Splendid!" he whispered, smiling,
1 "That’s exactly what a woman who
had been married ten years would do.
If you’ll excuse me. I’ll read the after
j noon paper.” He buried his face in
the sheet.
On their arrival at Washington they
were whirled to their hotel. Percy
signed his name swingingly on the reg
ister and they were shown to the room
assigned to them. As the door closed
and they were at last alone his sorrow
ful bride burst into tears.
: “Take me home!” she cried.
"What’s the matter, darling.?" asked
her husband. "Aren't you enjoying
| yourself?”
"How can I enjoy myself when you
treat me so?”
"Hut, dear, you didn’t come on the
honeymoon to see me—you came to
i travel and see the sights. You said so
1 yourself.”
"But I expect to be loved a little,
too.”
"How much?”
“Well, a whole lot.”
"But, darling, don't you know how
; impossible this is? To get our money s
worth, we must be on the move, a a
can have me all the rest of your .... ,
but now you can only have the Sm.,u
sonian institution a few hours of the
day, to say nothing of the Corcoran art
gallery, the capitol, the white house,
the state department, treasury building
and other objects of interest that sur
round us.”
Mabel drew herself up haughtily. "I
did not suppose." she said, "that I was
marrying a guide. It’s bad enough to
be taken away from home by—by al
most any kind of a man, without being
treated so cruelly.” Then she buried
her face in her hau ls. Percy was at
his wit's end. He found himself con
fronted for the first time in his life
with trying to solve the problem,
woman. At that moment his love for
Mabel was greater than ever. Her
sense of loneliness appealed to hint
keenly. After all. he had gone too far.
Some explanation was certainly due,
and he resloved to make a clean breast
of it.

arms, “listen, and I will explain my
self. When ihe subject of our honey
moon first came up, I suggested go
ing to some quiet, retired spot where
we could be alone. But you, much to
my surprise, wanted to make the regu
lation trip. What 1 have tried to show
you is that this kind of trip, besides
being very expensive, is unfitted for
our purposes. Perhaps I have tried too
hard to bring out this side of it. but I
felt that 1 was right, and wanted to
make you see it."
“I think I see what you mean,” said
she. “Perhaps, after all, you were
right. And now, having tried my way,
suppose we try yours.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that we give up our present
trip, and go to the place you thought
of, and spend the remainder of our
honeymoon.”
“Sweetheart,” he exclaimed. “you are
indeed the best girl in all the world! I
will telegraph at once, cancel our ac
commodations at Niagara and well
take the early morning train.”
The next morning they were off to
the secluded region Percy had in mind.
There, at a small but well-kept coun
try inn in the center of New York
state, three miles' ride by stage from
the railroad station. Percy had stayed
one night on a fishing trip; and for
real loneliness it left nothing to he de
sired.
“What is there to do?” asked Mabel
on the morning of the first day.
"Nothing." replied Percy, “absolutely
nothing That's the beauty of it. We
can love each other to our hearts’ con
tent.”
“How heavenly!” murmured Mabel.
That evening they sat in the little
old-fashioned front parlor of the inn
be ore a blazing log. Percy moved un
easily.
“Would you mind, darling," he
asked, “if I went outside and smoked?”
"i most certainly should. I want
you to stay here and hold my hand.”
Hair' an hour passed—in silence. |
Again Percy moved uneasily. In the !
back room was a half broken-down
pool table; the landlord and a fisher
man guest n&re hammering strenuous
ly at the balls! Percy thought he might
break into the game—that is, if he
could break away.
“Dearest,” said he. “I think i'll lake
a little turn round. I've eaten such a
hearty supper that I need the exer
cise.”
“Nonsense! All you need is—me!”
The next morning at breakfast the
landlord leaned over the young hus
band's shoulder. “Would you like to
go fishing?” asked he.
Percy’s face brightened. But Mabel
was on hand.
“And leave me all alone!” she ex
claimed. “Never!”
“It seems strange,” remarked Percy
that afternoon as they walked down
the corduroy road together, “that you
<-an’t get away from it even here.”
"From what?”
“Why, the honeymoon idea. Those
gawks round the hotel are guying the
life out of me; I know, by the way they
act.
She put her hand in ms. uo you
| rare?” she asked shyly. “Why, 1 think
i this place is lovely. It's just ideal for
! a honeymoon—don’t you think so?”
"No!"
Mabel turned and looked at him.
"What!” she exclaimed, "are you
not satisfied?”
Percy leaned disconsolately against a
tree.
"Darling." he replied. “I'm so lone
some. I—” He buried his face In his
hands.
"Perhaps, dear.” said Mabel, "you
would like to go home—to mother.”
She put her arms round him.
“Who was right?” asked Mabel.
"You were!” he cried. “Darling, let
us leave this place at once! Give me
your kind of a honeymoon.”
“And you will love me?”
"I'll do anything you say! I’ll love
< you before hotel clerks, itorters and the
; general public. Let us hasten away
! from this God-forsaken place to Ni
agara. where we can mingle with the
! crowd.
Just three hours later a lovely young
| woman in a pearl-colored suit, and a
devoted companion in a frock coat and
a silk hat. were holding hands in a
Niagara express, and on the right track
at last.—Town and Country.
