! ' ' Ay WILLIAM It. COWLES .
"Well doctor, let mn know the
worl," Jin; Hendricks! tried to rikkk
Jckfnfrly. but there tens nome'thtng about
the coldly professional atmosphere of
(h phynlclan'd olTlco which precludou
Jocularity. And besides, llib worn rrtlsht
be so very had I
As a mulolr of fact, It watn't. "You're
suffering 'frotri well, not exactly shell
ihucj, but Bomothlnar nlmllnr. Quit dcai
Ins 'with 4 words hnd figures. You say
jou're-.nn accountant? Well, got hold
eb if Job ' whero you handlfc tangible,
material things and let somebody elso
keep the books. Farming, for Instance
A raw yenro upent thus will floubtiuss
put your nervous tystcm bade on the
rails again.". .
Jim left, deeply despondent. All the
lens apprenticeship gone for naught.
Farming bah I llo had nevr lanoled
the country, He wondered nfooUt Shir
ley, . his ''letter-girl" what would she
think of being a farmer h wife?
Ultimately, Jim staked his all on u,
little nrbcery store on tho outskirts of
the'clty and almost lent out. The op
portunity had been rather thrust upon
him by the death of the owner, a friend
of Jim's father, and the subsequent be.
ullderment of tho widow, who wanted
to go bnck to Canada to htr own people.
The, first thing Jim knew he had pur
chased tho store, lock, barrel and good
will; had put Mrs. Klrkham and three
children on the train for Montreal, ano
had promised to keep an eye on Molly
Klrkham, who wbb staying on to fin
ish n course In business college.
If Jim's winter stretched ahead of
him far differently than he had planned,
It yet promised no Idlo moments. What
with1 caring for tho old trade and try
ing to bUIld up new, penning long let
ters to Shirley, In which he hnd not
yet summoned up sufficient courago to
tell her nf his chanjro In occupation,
and keeping an eye upon Molly as ngrced
upon. Jim hardly found time to latnonl
for' his lost Job.
Molly developed a not unpleasant
habit of dropping In evenings and help
ing him make up his books the sort of
work ho had been told to avoid and at
times Jim b-gnn to think how very
pleasant It would ho If onlv hl letter
girl would break her xulo that he was
i ot to hunt her out for a while, so that
ho might hnvo her personal companion
ship as well as tho cheerful camaraderie
of correspondence.
"I say, Jimmy," began Molly one eve
ning, breaking In upon this sort of medi
tation, "whaVs the Idea of putting the
60da fountain way down back?
"I don't know," said Jim. "Whai
would you say my Idea was?"
"Trying to hide It!" She nodded her
head wisely. "Now, you know, away out
here a soda fountain In a grocery store
ought to be a paying line. Move It out
front. Let It tickle people's imaginations
on the way In, and they'll be too weak
in roolpt It nn thn wnv out." She Slip
ped down fr&m her perch and holpea
herself to a salted peanut from the Jar.
"Molly.'' Jim waylaid her, took her
by tho shoulders and gae her a liure
shake. "When I Mt for France you
were nothing but 11 kid and now
why" He broke off vaguely. Ho must
hold himself In hand. He had decided
long ago that he was going to marr
Shirley. Welt, that means nix on other
girls and hands off!
"Yep," said Molly, cheerfully. "I was
only a kid and nevtr would you give
me that much notice!" Sho indicated
an Infinitesimal amount of air space
between her thumb and forefinger. Then,
"By the way," she said at the ery door
way, "If you want to be prosperous, look
prosperous! Qet a telephone and put
it right up In the front of the store.
And Saturday I'll come nround and wasn
your windows." Then she was gone.
Now It happened some three we."ks
later that in her meagerly furnished
little room, a protty girl sat chewing
the end of her penholder. On the tablo
beforo her lay two sheets of paper one
blank, the other covered with a sprawl
ing perfmanship which had grown very
dear.
At last Jim had told her all the story
of the last few months and had quite
formally asked her to be his wife. And
although, of course, there was neer .
mention of one Molly Klrkham, still the
girl felt that, somehow or other, there
una something missing. The spark of
file which had lighted his letters and
touched off an Htiswertng glow' In net
heart was gone. Therefore, she chewed
the penholder and pondered her reply.
And because the words leaped up uu
denly before her eyes. "I've had a tele
phone installed, Angell, 801 It," she slip
ped downstairs to the telephone.
"Yes yes Shirley I You're going to
he man led? to an old friend Shirley
No. of course It's all right. Why, cer
talnly No, as a matter of fact, I'm
lather glad!"
Jim hung up tho receiver to wait for
Molly. Whefi she came, "Tell me," m.
said gently, "why didn't you write to
me as Molly, Instead of Inventing a
Shlrjey whom I nearly fell In lovo wun
Instead of with you
"If I had," retorted Molly, defensive.

how did you find out wo were tho same?'
"Easy." said Jim. "Any man who

our mother asked me to keep an eye on
