THE SCItANTON TBIBTJNE WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBKK a, (These short serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach eller.and are printed InTheTribune by special arrangement, simultaneous with their appearance In the leading dally journals of the large cities). CHAPTER I Continued. She raised her hands as if imploring him not to cut them off, and he, looking down at his uliirt to see if it were but toned, showed his yellow teeth, and continued: '"Yes, you better keep in with me. Man tried to run a paper here once without keepln' In with me, and what do you reckon became of him?" "Went to the legislature, I suppose." "Hah! Who told you? Dinged If he didn't go there, but he left his paper dead as a padlock." "I haven't anything to hide," she said, "and I don't mind telling you that, having grown very tired of city life, I have come here to resit awhile, but not being able to rest without work I have deckled to lease this little paper and play with It." "Talk like a woman In a show, dinged If you don't. Not being able to rest without work Is a new one on me: but we will let that puss." "Just as well, I suppose. Yes, It Is my purpose to live here a year, and then if I like the place well enouuh I may remain permanently." "Ah, hah," said the old fellow, "that is to say, you mought git murrled and settle down here. Putty good plan, I reckon, for I hear 'em say that mar riage is about played out In the cities. I have seed better lookln' women than you air, but then, I reckon, you mought do on a pinch, and you never can tell Jest how soon a pinch Is goln' to take place. Sly old woman has been dead "Your Shirt Collar Is Unbuttoned Again." about two year and I 'lowed after while that I mought pick up a chunk of a wife, may do so thi;i fall If my corn down here on the creek turns out well." "Your shirt collar la unbuttoned again," she said. "Blast me If I don't go to the black smith shop and git me a horsehhoe nail Jest to accommodate you. So you are goln' to run the newspaper.' Never hearn of a woman runnln' a paper, but I have hearn of 'em ridln' straddle and I don't see why a newspaper shouldn't come next." "By the way," she said, "I should like to find some pleasant place to board. I don't care to stay at this hotel." "You are talkin' sense, now, miss. Let me see: I live about a quarter of a mile from here Just an easy walk and if you don't mind you may board there. My daughter Nell lives with me, and you'd like her. Oh, she eats more book.s than a sheep do straw, al ways a chawln' 'cm. and you'd git along well together. She's too smart for this town, and you and her could trot to gether right well. Well, I'll send her over to see you. I reckon you are all right, leastwise you understand takln care of yourself. Good day." She arose and as he reached the door Bhe called him. "Wilat Is it, mins?" "Nothing, onl- I hope that you will not forget t, go by the blacksmith shop." The. old man puffed and tramped frc&vlly down the stairs, and at the bot tom he found Alt' and the other fel lows watting for him. "Don't put your self to no uneasiness on her account, gentlemen," he said. "She can take care of herself, and If she can't I gad, I can take care of .her or come mighty blame nigh It; but I reckon that ex pression Is a little too strong for a man that thinks as much of a revival as I do, and I ask the Lord to excuse xne." "But hold on and tell us somethln' about her," Alf Insisted. "I don't know a blessed thing about her except that she's all right, and that's all anybody need to know." Shortly afterward a young woman called at the hotel. Introduced herself to the stranger and said that following the advice of her father she had come to sak Miss Lopp to board with her. "We have a great, big old-fashioned house," she said, "and you may have all the room you want, so don't say you won't. Will you please not say you won't?" The visitor had taken a seat on the piano stool and not ungracefully was slowly turning herself half round and then back. She was a comely clrl and Jt was evident that she was the belle of the neighborhood; and It was also evi dent that she cared nothing for this distinction, that she had studied and read herself beyond any companion' ship that the village might offer, and that simply to be admired had long since grown tiresome to her. Miss Lopn never forgot that pleasing picture, the dark eyes half humorously pleading, the abundant hair caught up here and there as If by graceful and yet careless dips, the pleasing face and yet a coun tenance bespeaking strength of will physical vigor and grace. "You must not say you won't" the girl went on, giving Miss Lopp no time to answer, "until you know how much 1n need of a sensible companion I am. Father and let me request you not to pay any attention to his Btrong expres sions for he Is really the best man you ever saw well, he does everything he can to lighten my loneliness, but he can't do so very much, you know, be. Ing only a man, and I am actually hungry for some one to talk to." i uont see now i can resist so Strong an appeal," Miss Lopp replied. "There, I knew you couldn't say you wouldn't, when, you were brought to understand It all. And we'd better go now," she added, springing off the stool. "You shall have a large front ' V OPIE READ i room, but it has a rag carpet, woven half sentimentally by a woman that lives not far from here by half senti mentally I mean that she thought so much of me she wove It for half price. But you don't mind that, do you?" "What, the sentiment or the half price?" "Why. the rag carpet, of course. I didn't know but you might expect vel vet on the lloor." "My dear child," said Miss Lopp, "It was not the thought of a carpet that brought me Into this neighborhood, and to tell you the truth I don't care whether the floor Is covered with a rag or with sawdust.'" "Oh, I Just know that I shall like you, because you are not stupid with even ness of talk and kiln-dried manners. So come on and we'll go over right now." ' And so Miss Lopp was Installed In a large room in an old-fashioned house. Her two front windows commanded the drowsy village, the town cow that looked as though she had been patched, having so often been scalded by irate housewives; the prowling hog, the sport of every dog that found himself without amusement, the hitching rack where fanners' nags squealed and bit at one another. But the two other windows looked upon the garden, rose tinted here and there, the dark shade lying between rows of high peas, a tangle of plum bushes, a long slope and a creek. The office of the newspaper was found in a jumbled state, with black and light types mixed together, but with the assistance of a boy who had lung been an apprentice, a decent order was brought about, and from the very fast number the paper showed an Improvement. The paragraphs were written with vigor that made the villagers wink as though their eyes had lighted upon something too bright for them; and the editorials on natlonul and International uubjeets were set forth with that dignity which the farmer demands that his editor shall observe. A show of frankness soon wins the confidence of a southern town, and Miss Lopp became so evi dent a favorite that within a month after her arrival her paper had picked up an additional circulation of fifty copies, a marvelous growth, a ntwspa per miracle In Bioomlield. Nell soon learned to pick up type, and was therefore Polly's closest and most valued companion. They were rarely seen apart; they strolled In the woods like lovers, and together they begged contributions to the mite so ciety. One afternoon, as they were going home to enjoy the cool of the garden, Nell, swinging Polly's hand as they moved along, declared that Bhe had never been so happy. "I feel that I am useful," she said; "I feel that I am the dearest friend of a woman who knows something. And do you know what I have been thinking of? I have been thinking that we ought to make a vow never to separate. I told father the other night that I should never marry, and If you will live up the same resolution why we will live together. There's a stage, and look, there are three passengers, men, and they are coming this way." Polly made no reply, but, leaning forward, looked eagerly at the men They had been looking about them, but upon seeing her they came quickly forward, and as they approached one of them called: "Hello. Polly!" and then each one said: "Hello, Polly!' Several of the townspeople were within hearing, and they loitered near to see what might follow. Polly spoke to the strangers, and then requested Nell to walk on, that she would over take her. Nell hesitated. "Won't you nleaae walk on?" Polly Insisted. "I 11 soon catch up with you." Nell obeyed, though not without muttering an objection, and Polly stood In the road, talking to the stran gers. What could it mean? Why were they so familiar with her ana wny should she desire to see them alone? They turned and slowly walked toward the stage coach, which was to go out again at once, to take passengers to the railway ten miles distant, and Polly talked to thew In low tones, and then "Miss Polly, What Do It Mean. they all nodded and smiled. Nell and the villagers were watching them, and so was old man Almea, and Just as the three men had seated themselves In the coach, the old man, commanding the dnlver to wait a moment, walked up to the door and said: "I am the mayor of this town." "Sorry for you," one of the men re plied. "Well, by Satan's hoofs, I like that but excuse the expression for It's the strongest I ever did use; but what do you mean by sneaklii' In here without lettln anybody know you was comin an' sne&'kln' out again without lettln' anybody know why you' did come? Now what have you got to say?" ' "Shut the door, old man. Tra loo." "Watt!" the old man commanded "Who are yiu and what did you want with this young woman?" "Oo on, driver. So long, old top." And off they went. "Miss Polly," said the old man, iturn- Ing toward the editor, "what do It mean?" "Your shlnt. collar Is unbuttoned again," was all she said. CHAPTER II. ' That evening In the house of old man A lines there wan a silent supper party Nell's flowing friendship had been rudely checked and a sharp heel had been set upon the old man's dignity. And It looked as though a coolness must necessarily follow. The strangers had brought a mystery with them and had left It In the village, and In this mystery stood Polly Lopp. Not a word had been spoken. Polly arose to leave the table. Nell looked up and her countenance was sorrowful. not so much that there might be a compromising mystery, but thait It was kept dark from her. "Goln Miss Polly?" Almes said. "Yes, I am through with my supper." "But wait a moment. Now there's no need of foolishness between us; we are your friends and you ought to speak out. Them men comin' here and beln' so familiar like with you will cause a scandal, and It's for me to de termine as the mayor of this town whether or not I can stand by you. But first you must tell me never mind about my shirt beln' unbuttoned and all that sort of thing you must tell me somethln' about them men. Now will you?" "Yes. They came and they went away. That is all you need to know." 'Not be a slatherln' excuse my strength no. It ain't. Where did you know tihem?" I might have met them In a city." Hah, what's that? Might have met them In a olty, but why? That's what I wunt to know. Didn't you hear one of tlhem refer to me as 'old top,' and I've been ten years mayor of this town? Hah, didn't you hear that? And why, then, tSiould you have mot them in a city, or anywhere else?" 'When I probably met them years ago perhaps I was not aware thait they were going to refer to you as 'old top.' " Nell laughed, and the old man scratched his head,. "Well, now we'll say thi.it you couldn't help meeting them," he went on, "but we can't say that you had to become so well ac quainted with them as to lut 'them call you Polly. I gad, I don't call you Pol ly, and I'm the mayor of this town and have been for ten years this comin' July, I gad. Hope the Lord will In the meantime excuse both I gads. Hah, now answer me that, will you?" "All that you need to know, Mr. Almes, you shall know In time." "Hah, In time? But what will the people of this town think when they come to me to find out and I put them off with your sayln' that they shall know In time? I gad, miss, when the people of this town want to know a thing there ain't no ulch thing as time the whole scheme Is an eternity until tlhey find out, and unless they find out before the next election I'm beaten as sure as a horn, and I've been mayor so long now that I can't quit. Set down here now and tell us, won't you?" Not this evening. Nell, I'm g"oing out into (he garden." , Polly was sitting In the summer house when Nell joined her. They were si lent for a time and then Nell said: "I am so sorry that anything should have happened. I was as happy as I could be until then. Tell me, dear, whait It all means, and I'll promise to stand by you, no matter w'hat It Is, for I do think so much of you, I do, Polly, I love you, ill facit, and now It does grieve me so to have anything come between us." Polly took 'her hand and, holding It, replied: "There are many features of life in a city, and some of them might seem strange to you. That I should have become acquainted wlBh those men, was a happening; that they should have come to -this place Is another hap pening, and neither happening amounts to enough to cause any real uneasiness on the part of my friends. So I beg of you not to let It worry you." Oh, It doesn't worry me so far as I am concerned, but what will the peo ple say? Indeed, what won't ithey say?" Nell, the view and the opinion of a village are necessarily narrow; here people are suspicious of strangers and are ever on the lookout for an oppor tunity to suspect one another, so It would be quite Impossible for me to make an explanation that woijld be satisfactory to them." 'But my dear Polly, you can make an explanation that will be satisfactory to me. 'Not now, my dear, but aCter awhile I will. Your father Is calling you." The old -man stood at the garden gate, whooping the name of his daugh ter, and when she -had come to him, having left Polly sitting on a benah In the summer house, the old fellow said: "Nell, go Into the house and stay there till I come, and When I do come I may have some mighty Interestln' news for you."
