THE DAltiY NOVELETTE
! CALEB'S FLIER IN STUMPS
' Dr U B. lANODAUS
If Caleb Swift won not exactly poyu
... in hla own homo town, It wm not
due I" ft"" pronoungeu u;u in biii
to. h!ch ono could definitely point, nor
to the pbMOflslon of any obnoxious trait
or trick ot personality. On the con
trary, ho was a fluloU exemplary, Unas
gertlve youne man who went his own
and asked favors of no ono no
ene, that is, with the exception of Car
Jolt'a Hemingway.
Th thine of It was that ever since
Caleb had run a thrifty llttlo lemonade
tuid on his mother's lawn for the bene
fit of thirsty tourists, every llttlo ven
ture he had entered upon had pros-
And thero had been many ventures,
llttlo dials in real estate, little specu
lations In mlnlnir stock, llttlo Invest
S,u in local Industries. And Saunders
Swn, like any smug individual cocklnf
TsutDlclous eye at a successful neigh
bor, was complacently waiting for Caleb
m como a cropper. It was Inevitable
that he should cdme a cropper. Men
were not, nowadays, endowed wlti
llldas-llko fingers for life. Soonei ot
Ono mellow, sweet-scented day, Jake
liusaell, conductlne a home-nuntlnc
Jounff couple acrosi the swamps of the
Jew residential section (with Ras and
wator prospects) which ho was opcnlntr
ud saw with considerable amazement a
flinire which ho nmdo out to be Caleb
HwlfL paclnff the lines of tho extensive
tract of land which abutted on to his
house lots. That particular tract be
longed to the Hemingways and earned
for them tho name of being land poor.
Jake Russell had ever fancied the land
for himself. It was being held at an
absurd price by old man Hemingway
nd furthermore, It was polka-dotted
with stumps, the removal of which would
take time, patience and money.
All the way home Jake ruminated.
AlJOi he dropped In to tho town hnll.
And that evening he startled his wife
by bursting Into a BUdden, noisy chuckle,
"What Is It?" she aukoj anxiously.
"Caleb caien I" no managcu to gev
cut. "Ho's bought up the Hemlngwny'B
icrub land. And 'twon't pay htm, by u
long snot. I vo uoen nggering it oui.
The placo has got to bo drained, It's
peppered with stumps, and the Lord
knows It'll bo one while before water
mi eas ret within a mile of there. By
the tlmo ho's dynamited and drained
well, well, poor Caleb I And he paiu
every cent them fool Hemingways
wanted!
Only Corlotta felt that oho held tho
key. At lest Caleb had discovered the
reason why sho would not marry him.
How coum sne, nerscu omy a meaniy
paid cleric In a small store, Middle Caleb
with her shiftless, land-poor family?
For well she knew that did sho marry
Caleb he would acqulro not only her,
but a troupo of poor relations a alciuy
stepmother, a father not abovo "borrow
ing a bit now anu again.
But now everything had changed. The
tale of tho land had put both spirit and
cash Into old man Hemingway's pockets.
He was all for beginning oer ngaln
out Weit with his wife and children,
and Carlotta said no word to dampen
Hs enthusiasm.
But when the evening came for Caleb's
eckl call, Carlotta awaited htm nrrv
eusly. To think of Calob doing a thing
tlko that which everybody was agreed
would mean a tremendous loss. Well,
there wns one wny In which she could
thank him. Sho could grant that faor
he had been asking mj many years
that she marry him Not that sho called
It a favor, but Caleb apparently did.
Therefore, when Caleb arrived, punc
tual to the moment, he had tho surprise
ef his life. Without preamble, a slim
Otrure slipped Into his arms and a pair
ot brown eyes looked trustfully up Into
his "I'll I'll marry you, Caleb, when
ever jou wish I"
rully thirty minute later Caleb and
Carlotta wro discussing stoves and
lmlov shades and furniture.
"Do jou know," began Caleb. "I'vo an
edd fancy I'd llko to havo our furni
ture made for us"
"How do you mean, dear?" asked Car
lotta In a very near-wifely tone which
captivated Caleb and caused a tempor
ary hiatus In the conversation.
"well, you know tnis Circassian wal
nut, honey?" Then.. aa Carlotta nodded.
That land I bought from your father
contains a great muny thousand walnut
itumps, from which tuo veneer Known
as Clrcasilan walnut Is made, and I
flrure I can make quite a good deal on
then nnd then have enough left to tlx up
our home In pretty good style. How
about It?"
For a moment Carlotta wns silent. She
Iliad been mistaken as to why Caleb
wanted that lot. But, then, which was
soma comfort, so had been tho whole or
ISaunderstown. And when you como right
larmn to li, it s a wonuerrui tning to win
w husband who always getB what he
wants wli-thor It la a wlfo or a lot of
seemingly worthies acres.
"Circassian walnut, it is:- s.im uaieD s
fiancee gaily.
