He laughed. Jenny was geed com
pany. She was never still, physically
or vocally, and occasionally, when
something touched her heart, she was
almost as ucnumui as nancy.

SOMEBODY'S STENOG Betty Writes a Letter

By Hayward

at once she recalled the question, she J tien e what he was going te ; dq Baa
had asked heruclf before the innestre'n
doer: Was bup n thoroughbred or a
whincr? Her chin went up and her
eye flashed.
The seller of ndventurcs, half a dozen
yards behind her, noticed the sudden
tilt of her hend and the clenched liiindn,
and wondered what manner of thought
fcnd as-ailed her. The girl who had
ordered the apple. One or the ether
of theae young women might become
nccessury te his plans in the near
future, and it behooved him te investi
gate their habits against this possible
need.
That night the god of irony entered
the theatre with her ns usual, but in a
new role. Nancy wns permitted te be
conscious of everything die did; she
was no lencer mi nutmnnten.
After the flrt net Mannheim came te
ker dressing room.
"Was wns I nil right ?" engerlv.
(Bread and butter, bread and butter!)
"leu were, little Inuy. That me
chanical dell stunt has knocked them
ever. You're a born comedienne."
Hut she knew that all the rent of her
stnge enreer wns going te be one con
stant siege of terror.
On the elevated thpt night she had
insisted upon going home alone she
Iirescntly became uunre of nn unusual
nterest en the part of her fellow
trnvelera. They stnrcd nt her, some
icily, seme with smllep. Curious te
learn the reason, ns hitherto nobody
had ever paid any nttcntien te her, she
opened her hnndbng und stele a glance
Inte her pocket mirror. She w at horri
fied te see that f-he had forget te take
off her innke-up!
A week pnssed, another, without
any notable event in the lives of the
thrce inseparables, for Bancroft n
always cither with Nancy or with
Jenny or with both. The three of them
went te Sunday concerts, there wnt
generally ten at 4 in Nancy's room, and
frequently he went abroad with Jenny.
There were timet when he had ten with
Nnncy alone, for Jenny could net al
wns get awny from the model Fhep.
Se far ns Bancroft was concerned,
Nnncy no longer troubled herself te
ebserve convention. She had reached
that point of faith In him when his
liresenee was comfertlue: Mie liked te
-be with him, for he wns never dull.
They lenrncd that they hnd ninny
likes in common, the same- romances,
the snme poets. She sang for him In
the twillisht, old folk-songs, old love
Jiallnds, nnd there was ene particularly
haunting refrain :
Only come niratti In dreamt.
And v.lth thci morning lislit are fl4
When she snng tlint he would hit with
hi chin lu liis palms nnd stare into the
gathering chadews. What happy hours
thefce were te him who had never known
comjttnienship !
They were sometimes Joined by Craig,
who was arranging for a tour In Janu
ary, Fer he hnd tnken seriously Ban
croft's suggestion about playing te the
broken soldiers. Nnncy praised him
generously, but she did net knew that
for this meed of praise Crrtlg would
have gene te Dahomey and played be be be
fere the havnge king. But ncuely nnd
leaentfully Bancroft comprehended this
fact.
One twilight Crnlg sat at the piano

Wg ngalnst the piaiie. Bancroft sat in
the Merris chnlr, his head back, study
ing the pntch of reflected light en, the
telling. Craig turned.
"I say, jeu people. Thanksgiving In
three days. Come up te my home nnd
nave dinner with me. Turkey, cvnn
berry suuen nnd mince pis. I'!! sft the

Dusted subway could held us back 1"
Te dine in u renl home, thought
ancy, with rooms and rooms te mean
der about in, flue rugs en the floors,
paintings and tapestry en the walls,
nd cesy bookshelves!
"Jenny in right," she snld. "That is
goeq music te three lonesome folks, who
were dully planning dinner In a nearby
restaurant. Of course we'll go,"

val, He would new have te shnre these
I ? WH. Crnl- ,nl11 I'e fchuntfd te ene
lue. Ha managed, however, te voice
nls Bceeptanoe heartily enough.
Craig departed, and Jenny Bang his
Praises. Nnncy turned en the lihls
and Bancroft approached n window and
stared into the dim configuration of
back ynrds. Twe weeks, and bejend
the purloining of the contract nnd pros pres
pectus material, the Grent Adventure
Company hnd net stirred in his direc
tion. Battle, murder and sudden
uuHin.
croft threw his arms clumsily around
Jenny's neck und kissed her.
Jenny steed perfectly etlll, the color
geno from her face, her mouth partly
open, and a something in her eyes as
perhaps would ceme there hud the
hnndsome boyish fnce vanished, nnd a
Japnnche devil-mask replaced it.
"Jenny, Jenny I I didn't mean te de
that. I'm sorry! But you looked se
sweet. I'm sorry. I didn't mean te
de it!''
That wns te be Jenny's tragedy for
ever after. He wns sorry. He nndn t
meant te kiss her.
A kiss is n perfectly foolish thing.
But what nre ;ou sclentltlc old gray
beards going te de about it? There
it Is; dlscct it, annly.e it new you
will, but where de you go from there?
Nowhere. Who tuught human beings
white human beings te kiss one an
other? Nobody. It wns the Begin
nine of Things: it is with us new;
it will always be here. Bugs? Who
cares?
Twe pnlrs of lips, male nnd female
watch out ! There It Is, come and gene,
henee or whence nobody knows. Dam
nation sometimes; always a revelation.
We find ourselves trapped in the mid
dle of all manner of emotions, geed and
evil, joyous and miserable, ecstatic and
despairing.
Leve and a Dagger!
And what of Jenny? In receiving
that kiss, she, tee, made a dUcevcry;
thut she loved this quenr boy better
than life itself. Thunder and light
ning. Thnt he wns as fur out of her
orbit as the fnrthest stnr. Thnt she
hnd net the intellect te trnp and en
Knge his affections beyond the point of
tvii.niKliln. Thnt. with the leynlty and
willingness of n deg, she would have
ceme te his heel up nnd clown tue
world, te the end of time. All in a
moment, lil.e thnt!
And never te kiss him ngnln! she
thought. Fer Mie hnd kissed him.
First te recover, she snld, defen
sively: "Jeremiah, I ought t' hand jeu
one en th' jnw for that."
"Jenny. I'm terry. I don't knew
whnt made me de It. As Ged Is w-lt-ness,
I never did such a thing be
fore." "Yeu don't have t' tell your Aunt
Mary thnt. Aleyslus! It's no fun
beh choked nn kissed nil at once."
She could smlle! It wns wonderful
whnt you could de with your face when
yen hnd te.
"Will you forglve me?"
"Sure if you'll premise never t
slip ene ever llke thnt ngain." Hop Hep
ir.e he would, hoping with nit the
hcnlthy fire of her heart that he would,
nnd knowing that, for the peace of her
mind, she must net let him!
"On my word of honor! You're such
a reed comrade I've been se
lonely nil my life. " ,
"tferget it, Jercmlnh, an' toddle
nleng t' bed. Thnt's where I'm geln'.
I'm tired. Say, write out thnt Jenny-kissed-me
thing an' I'll call it squnre."
She gnve him n gentle push toward
the stalls, and followed. It was hours
before sleep came te her.
"Oh, Jeremlnh," whispered Jenny te
herself, pendeiing en her problem be
fore she llnttlly fell asleep, "peer old
Jenny klw-ed jeu, nil right!"
She turned her check te the pillow
But Jeremiah musn't ever de
It ngnln.
Jeremlnh never weuld: he took his
solemn vow te thnt, ns he sat ou his
bed. The phase thnt troubled him par
ticularly was his patent disloyalty te
Nnncy. He could leve Nancy, and
et thrill te the recollection of having
kissed Jenny. Something about the
touch of her lips, her startled eves, the
faint odor of lilac, Ha bent his
head, his lingers lu his hair, bewildered,
What hnd hannened te him? There had
net been the slightest notion in his
hend of kissing Jenny uutll ene Instant
befere the act.
Comprehending that these cogitntlens,
if pursued, would carry him into ripe
old age, and futilely, he absently
reached for the pillow under which
Mrs. Jnnsen. the Janitor's wife, stewed
his night shirt nnd his hand
enme Inte contact with something hard
nnd cold. He threw nslde the pillow
quickly, nnd beheld n hilted dngger,
tirena in niniie ami raer-Mmijj. xe me
handle was uttnehed n small tag, upon
which was scrawled "One."
Compliments of the Grent Adventure
Cempniiv. He was net the least terri
fied. On the centiury. he welcomed
with satisfaction this diversion. Idle,
the kiss nnd Jcnnv and Nancy would
fill his theushta; but the npprench of
battle, murder ami Midden death wns
ns the north wind bearing away a fog.
