H
tfANCY WYNNE CHATS ABOUT MANY
MATTERS
he Hears of Various Wedding Plans and the Flittings of
Summer Resort
WBtiUi you win Hay, XNancy naa a
gay and busy week-end with all tho
ray tales she haa to toll today, but
really he stayed right at homo and tho
h) hot share them with others? Of
coure. tho first lileco of news I have
to 7eli you, my dears, is not' a story,
nellW Is It funny, but as my tales pro
? nerhapa you may smile. The
$Ma of news cornea about from tho fact
i Ifcit Molly Bally has gone up to York
H&rbor with ner moiner ana minor, ana
In telling mo this tho wee bird also ro
marked that Brewster Koona and Molly
are to be married in tho fall, and Molly
has decided to hnvo lior aunt, Dorothea
Wood, as maid of honor. Tho whole
Wood contingency spends August cacn
year up at York Harbor, and Dorothoa
,nd Mary Wlltse nra nl ready up there,
Mrs. Charles Bally was Miss Ijydla Wood,
rou know, tho older Bister of an ex
tremely united family. I also under
stand that tho wco kiddies of tho Gra
ham "Woods and Dicky Woods will act
M flowerglrls and pages, respectively. So
you see It will bo a pretty wedding with
out doubt
. If you would keep your dreams from
horrors do not eat chceso voraciously
before retiring, especially If you have
tAvlne with you persons who must catch
the first train upon Monday morning
after a wcok-end of hilarity at tho shore.
This very Bad thing happened to a young
hostess recently. She had in her houso
party a charming young girl and a most
attractive young man, besides several
others. And an la tho way very often
with a very happily marrlod woman, alio
had unconsciously boon thinking up a
match betweon tho twain. Whon sho re
tired sha had also on hor mind tho
thought that her guests must catch tho
early train. So Imagine tho girl's amuse
ment on coming down ready for break
fast to moet hor hostess wild-eyed and
emotional, who exclaimed: "Oh, my dear,
to you really dirt wake! Oh, I've had mich
a time. I've been dreaming, and I
thought I heard Mr. toll his
mother that ho had come down hero
With tho oxpross purposo of proposing to
you and we had never left him alono
with you for ono minute, and then I had
felt so badly about It, and I triod to wako
you for tho train and you wouldn't; and
If I didn't wako up myself!"
Tho unconscious hero of this sad tale
was in tho meantime neatly devouring
his breakfast in an adjoining room. I
wonder if tho dream will como true, or if
-tho girl In question looks on It as a
nightmare on tho part of her hostess.
You nover can toll, you know; and na I
have often repeated, It's all In tho point of
view.
Every ono at Narragansett Pier rushed
to tho tennis tourney held at tho Point
Judith Club on Sunday, whon Ward Daw
son,' of California, and Watson Wash
burn, of New York, playod a wonderful
match. Of course, the Phlladolphlans
we're there, becnuso Philadelphia loves
tennis and seldom misses a match. On
the porch of tho clubhouse and on tho
chairs near the courts were tho Archlo
Thomsons, Mariana Gowen, Phil Ran
dolph, Jr., Mrs. Ben Gatlns and tho
Frazer Harrisons, who havo very lately
joined tho Philadelphia colony. Polo Is
also claiming interest at tho Pier, which
is one of tho very busiest and gayest re
sorts ofi the Now England coast, it seems.

THE LITTLE GIRL AND TOWSER
Dearest Children Do you like Fairy talks? I think most of us do, and I
Hk- to make them up. It would help LOTS if you would write and tell mo
just what kind of talka you like best.
I WANT TQ PLEASE YOU.
But the Fairy Tale:
Once upon a time there was a little girl and she wanted so badly to have
somebody to love. She had a father and mother, but still she felt a great big
hungry longing for some one to love.
One day sho sat on the step. Crying and crying, when who should come
along but Towser, the dog. The little girl threw her arms around the dog and
cried: "Oh, Towser J I DO want somebody to love!"
Then Towser did a very funny thing, he stopped panting and said:
"Love, my dear little lady, always goes by two. A dog loves his master. The
dog has half of the love and the master has the other half.
"Loving is giving giving yourself. Do something for mother and you
love her do something for father and you love him.
"If you would love me do something for me get me a bone for instance
and "
But the little girl had disappeared. She soon returned with a bone, which
she gave to Towser.
"Now do you love me?" asked the little girl.
"No, you miss the point. Now YOU love me!"
With that Towser trotted off with the bone.

THE sun was well up the following
morning beforo the girl awakened, and It
was several minutes before she could re
r djust herself t6 her strange surroundings.
At first sho thought that sho was alone, but
finally sho discerned a giant figure stand
ing at the opening which led from their
mountain retreat.
It was the mucker, and at sight of him
there swept over Hie girl the terrible peril
of her position alone In the favago moun
tains of a savage Island with the murderer
of Billy Mallory. the beast that had kicked
tho unconscious Therlere In the face, tho
mucker who had Insulted and threatened to
atrlko her She shuddered at tho thought.
And then sho recalled the mnn's other
side, and for the life of her sho could not
tell nhethcr to bo frightened of him or
not It nil depended upon what mood gov
erned him. It would be best to propitiate
him.
Sho called a pleasant good morning.
Byrne turned. Sho was shocked nt tho
pallor of his haggard face.
"Good morning," ho said. "How did yeh
sleep?"
"Oh, Just splendidly, nnd you?" she re
plied. "So-so," he answered.
Sho looked ct him searchlngly ns he
approached her.
"Why, I don't believe that you havo slept
at all!" she cried,
"I didn't feel very sleepy," ho replied
evasively.
"You sat up all night on guard," she
exclaimed. "You know you did I"
"Tho chinks might o' tieon shndowln us
It unsn't uafo to sleep," he admitted.
"But I'll teal off a few ills mornln' nftcr
wc find a fold of somo kind."
"What can wo find to eat here?" she
asked.
"DIs crick In fult o' fish." ho explained,
"nn' of youso pat a pin I guess wo kin rig
up a schemo to hook a couple."
Tho girl found a pin that he said would
answer very nicely, nnd with n shoo ince
for a lino and a big locust ns bait, the
mucker set folth to angle In the ltttlo
mountain torrent. Tho fish, unwary and
hungry thus early In the morning, proved
easy prey, and two casts brought forth two
splendid specimens,
"I could cat a dozon of dem minnows,"
nnnounccd the mucker, nnd he cast again
and ngnln, until In 20 minutes he had n
goodly mess of plump, shiny trout on tho
grass beside him.
With his pocket knife he cleaned nnd
scaled them; between two rocks ho built n
fire, nnd passing sticks through tho bodies
of his catch, roasted them all.
They had neither salt, nor pepper, nor
butter, nor any other viand than the fish;
but It seemed to tho girl that never In her
life had sho tasted so palatable a meal, nor
had It occurred to her until tho odor of the
cooking fish filled her nostrils that no food
had paused her lips since tho second day
before. N wj nder that the two ato raven
ously, enjoying overy mouthful of their re
pasU. "An now," said Billy Byrno, "I t'lnk I'll
poun" my ear fer a few. You kin keop yer
iamps peolod fer do chinks, an" de flrst
phoney nolso youso hears, w'y bo sure to
wake me up." With that he rolled over
upon tho (Traps, asleep almost In an Instuut
Tho girl, to while away the time, explored
their rock-bound haven. She found that It
had but a single means of Ingress, tho
narrow pass through wnich the brook found
outlot. Beyond tho entrnnco sho did not
venture, but through It she saw, beneath, a
wooded slope, and twice aeer passed quite
closo to her, stopping nt the brook to drink.
It was an Ideal spot, ono whose beauties
appealed to her oven under the harrowing
conditions which had forced her to seek
its precarious safety. In another lnnd nnd
with companions ot her own kind she could
well Imagine tho Joy or a rortnlght spent
In such a sylvan parndlse.
The thought arpuscd another how long
would the mucker remain a safo compan
ion? She seemed to bo continually falling
from tho frying pan Into the fire. With
returning streiiKth, and the knowledgo of
their utter Isolation, could she expect this
brutal thug to placo any check upon him
self? Why, there were few men of her own
station in life with whom she would havo
felt safe In spending a fortnight alono upon
a savage, uncivilized Island!
Sho glnnced at the man whero ho lay
stretched In deep slumber. What a huge
fellow ho was 1
Yet his very size; yes, and the latent
brutality sho feared, wero her only salva
tion against every other danger than the
man himself.
He was physically a natural protector,
for ho was able to cope with odds and
dangers that an ordinary man would long
since have succumbed to. So she won
dered If she were both safer and lers safo
because the mucker was her companion!
As Bho pondered the question, her eye?
roved toward tho slope beyond the opening
to the amphitheater. With a start she
came' to her feet, shading her eyes with
her hand and peering Intently at some
thing that she could have sworn moved
among the trees far below.
No, Bho could not bo mistaken It was
the figure of a man.
Swiftly ahe ran to Byrne, shaking him
roughly by the shoulder.

"Some one Is coming," sho irled in re
sponse to his Bteepy query.
cirArTKii xv.
A Voluntary Pupil.
TOGETHER the girl nnd the mucker ap
proached tho entrance to tho amphi
theater. From behind a sboulder of rock
they peered down" Into tho forest below
them.
For several minutes nAlther saw any
cause for alarm.
"I guess youso must o' been seeln' things,"
Bald Byrne dryly.
"Yes,'' said tho girl, "and I seo them
again. Look! Quick! Down there to tho
right I"
Byrne looked In the direction sho Indi
cated. "Chinks," he commented. "Gee, look at
'em comln' ! Dcro must bo a hundred ot
em 1"
He turned a rueful glance back Into the
nmphlthcnter.
"I dunno as dls place looks as good to
me as It did," he remarked. "Dose yaps
wld de toad stabbers could hike up on top
o' desc cliffs nn' mnlto It a case o' thence
by carriages to Calvary for ours In about
two shakes "
"Yes," said tho girl, "Vm nfrald Its a
regular cul-de-sac."
"I dunno nothln' about dat," rcptlod tho
mucker; "but I do know dat If wo wants
to get out o' hero wo gotta getta hump
on ourselves good an lively. Come ahead."
and with his words he ran quickly through
the entrance and, turning squarely toward
the right, skirted the perpendicular cliffs
that extended as far ns they could seo to
bo lost to view In the forest that ran up
to meot them from below.
The trees nnd underbrush hid them from
those below. Thero had been danger of
detection for only tho brief Instant that
they passed through tho entrance of the
hollow, but at the time they had chosen
the enemy had been hidden In a clump of
thick brush far down the slope.
For hours tho two fugitives continued
their flight, passing over the crest of a
rldgo and downward toward another valley,
until by a small brook they paused to rest,
hopeful that they had entlroly eluded their
pursuers.
Again Byrne fished, and ngaln they sat
together at a onc-courso meal.
As they ate, tho man found himself look
ing at the girl more and more often. For
several days the wondcp of her beauty had
been growing upon him, until now he found
It dlfllcult to tako hln ejes from her. Thrice
she surprlsod him In tho act of staring
Intently nt her, and each tlmo ho had
dropped hln eyes guiltily.
At length tho girl became nervous, nnd
then frightened was It coming so soon?
The man had talked but little during this
meal, and for the life of her Barbara
Harding could think of no topic with which
to distract his nttentlon from his thoughts.
"Hadn't wo hotter no moving on?" she
asked at last.
Byrne gavo a llttlo start as though sur
prised In some questionable act,
" suppose so," he said ; "this ain't no
place to spend the night It's too open.
Wo gotta find a sort o' hiding place, .It we
can, dat a fellow kin close up wit' somo
t'lng." Again they took up their seemingly
hopeless march an nlmless wandering In
search of they knew not what. Away from
ono danger to pos'siblo dangers many times
more terrible. Barbara's heart was heavy,
for again sho feared and mistrusted tho
mucker.
Thoy followed the little brook down to
whero It emptied Into a river, and thon
down tho valloy beside tho river which grow
wider and more turbulent with every mile.
Well past mldaftcrnoon they came opposite
a small, rocky Island, nnd as Byrne's oyos
fell upon It he, exclaimed with satisfaction,
"Jest de place!" ho cried. "We orter
bo able to hldo dere forever."
"But how are wo to get there?" asked
tho girl, looking fearfully at the turbulent
river.
"It ain't deep," Byrne assured her. "Come
ahead I'll carry yeh acrost," and without
waiting for a reply ho gathered her In his
arms and started down the bank.
What with tho thoughts that had occupied
his mind off and on during the afternoon,
the sudden nnd close contact of the girl's
warm, young body to his took Billy Byrne's
breath away, and sent the hot blood cours
ing through his veins. It was with the
utmost difficulty that he restrained a mad
desire to crush her to him and cover her
face with kisses.
And then tho fatal thought came to him
why should ho restrain himself?
What was this girl to him? Had he not
always hated her and her kind? Did she
not look with loathing and contempt upon
him.? And to whom did her llfo belong
anyway, but to him had he not saved It
twice?
What difference would It make? They'd
never come out of this savage vs-orld alive.
They wero In the middle of the stream
now. Byrne's arms already had com
menced to tighten upon the girl.
With a sudden tug he strove to pull her
face down to his, but she put both hands
upon his shoulders and held his lips at arms
length. Her wide eyes looked full into the
RAINBOW CLUB
BILLY BUMPUS GETS WELL
By Farmer Smith
The soft twilight settled over Goatvllle
as Billy Bumpus lay quietly on the sofa
thinking to himself.
If he could only stop thinking I
Every now and then he would move and
it seemed to him that the pain was growing
less and less.
Finally he sat up and looked around. His
good wife was seated by the table sewing,
"Well, my brave man," she began. "How
are you now?"
"Do not make me laugh," replied Billy.
"Are you not brave?"
"Yes. I am brave, all right, but the' next
time I will think and thlnkv hard before
I go after bees." Billy squinted at himself.
"But you are well nqw" Mrs. Goat camo
over to him.
"Yes, I am well, but the soars of battle
aro all over me," answered Billy.
"Are you going out for a walk?" asked
his good wife. "The folks of Goatvllle will
be glad to see you,"
"I had never thought of that I" exclaimed
Billy. With one bounce he was in the
middle ot the floor. Out the door he went,
bandages and all.
As soon as his Goatvllle friends saw him
they shouted:
"Hurrah for our own Billy I"
Billy Bumpus strutted proudly up and
down the street, bis vanity tickled at the
reception he got.
Suddenly he jumped in the air.
"Ouch!" he fairly shrieked.
Then a tiny voice (that of Mrs. Flea, who
had given him a terrific bite) said;
"Do not be fooled by a cheer l"
ul guess you are 'right l" said BUly, as
he hobbled home.
But he soon forgot the advice' pf Mrs.

"Don't," whispered iho glrS. "J?las

As the man looked at Barbara Harding
standing there before him ho saw in her '
a strange new light, and a sudden reallza
tlon of the truth flashed upon Jilm, , , ,
He saw that he could not harm her howi
or $ycr; for ho loved herl

edge that his love milgt forever be a hope-

could nover be for sudh as he.
Barbara Harding, still looking question.'
Ingly nt him, saw tho change that cams
across his countenance she saw the swift
pain that shot to tho man's eyes and she
wondered.
His fingers released their grasp upon her '
arm. His hands fell limply to his side.
"Don't be nfrald." he1 said. "I'lease don't
be afraid o' me. I couldn't hurt youse If
I tried."
A deep sigh of relief broke from ths
girl's lips relief nnd Joy: and she realized
that Its cause was as much that tho man
had proved truo to tho new estimate sha
had recently placed upon him aa that th
danger to herself had passed,
"Come," sold Billy Byrne, "we'd better
movo In a bit out o' sight o' de mainland
an' look fer a place to make camp. I reckon
we'd orter rest here, for a few days, till we
git In shapo agin, I know youso, mutt bo,,

With tho longsword of Oda Yorlmoto
Billy Byrno cut saplings, and .ba.mboo,an4,
tho fronds of fan palms; and with ldng,
tough grasses bound them together1' into
tho semblance of a rude hut Barbara
gathered leaves and grasses with which 3h
covered the floor.
"Number Ono Riverside Drive," said the
mucker with a grin, when the .work wa
completed ; "an' now I'll go tdown on d
river front an' bull'd de Bowery." 1
"Oh, are you from New York?" asked
tho girl,
"Not on yer life," replied Billy. Byrne.
"I'm from good ol' Chi : but I been to Noo
York twlct wit' do Goose Island Kid, an
so I knows all about it., De roughnecks
belong on do Bqwcry, so, dafs wot we'll
call my dump down by do river. You'ro a ,
highbrow, so youso gqtta live on Riverside
Drive, see?" and tho mucker laughed at hfli
llttlo pleasantry.
But tho girl did not laugh with him. In
stead sho looked troubled. ,
"Wouldn't you rather be a "highbrow
too?" sho asked, Vand live up an Riverside
Drive, right across the street from me?"
"I don't belong," stfld the mucker
gruffly.
"Wouldn't you rather belong? Insisted
ho girl. -t - .
All Ills life Billy had looked wllh con
tempt upon the hated, pusillanimous high
brows, and now to bo asked It he 'would not f
rather bo onot It waa unthinkable; nnd
yet, strange to rotate, he realized an odd
longing to bo like Thorlerd and Billy Mal
lory; yes, In somo respects llko Divine, 1
ovon- r. . t
He wanted to be more like the men tfyat
the woman he loVed 1new" 'best
"It's too late fer mo aver to belong,
now," he said ruefully, "Yeh gotta b
horned to it. Gee, wouldn't I look funny in
w'lte pants, nh' ono o' dem dinky, llttl
Wllllo oft de yacht' lids?"
Even Bnrbara had to laugh at the picture
the man's words raised In her Imagination.
"I didn't mean that," She hastened to
explain. "I didn't mean that you- must
necessarily .dress llko them : hut bo Hkfr
them act like them, talk like them,, aa Mr,
Therlere did, you know. He was a gen

"Oh, I didn't moan that,'; tho girl haj)

"Well, whether youse meant' It or ndt,'

Now I'd llko to be a gent; but it's toa's

"Won't you try?" asked the girl. "For
my sake."
"Go to 't," returned the mucker cheer
fully, "I'd even wear side whiskers for
youse,"
"Horrors!" exclaimed Barbara Harding.
"I couldn't look at you If you did."
"Well den, tell mo wot youse do- want
me to do." . ,
Barbara discovered that her task was tq
be a dlfllcult one if she were to accomplish
It without wounding the man's feelings;
but she determined to strike while the iron
was hot and risk offending him. Why sha
should be Interested In the regeneration of
Mr, Billy Byrne it never once occurred to
her to ask herself.
Sho hesitated a moment before speaking.
"One of tho first things you must do,
Mr. Byrne," she said, thep. "is to learn to
Bpeak correctly. You mustn't say yousaj
for 'you' or 'wot' for 'what'; you must try
to talk us I talk. No one in the world
speaks any language faultlessly, but thera
are certain more or less obvious Irregu
larities of grammar and pronunciation that
are particularly distasteful to people of re
finement, and which are easy to guard
against. If one be careful."-
