lì BIT OF GREEN 1 S: ■ ii I By ELSIE COLBY. (Cot'jight, 1918, Western Newapaper Uuioa.j "Say, girls, I hear Rob Gordon Is home, and they say he has enlisted and texpects io be called away any time," said Betty. Mrs. Dale, with he»- threr girls, Ann, Betty and Kate, were seated et the snpper table. Her husband died macy years before, leaving a comfortable farm, by which the Dales managed to earn their living. Robert Gordon, whose father owned the next farm, half away, had been a great chum with the girls In their early school days, but when school had ended he had gone West'to live with an linde. It was rumored that a lovers' quarrel hastened his departure. "I should think he would have been over to see us by thls time," remarked llrs. Dale. "He always did enjoy roaraing around our farm," with a giunco at Ann. "He'll be over, don't worry," Ann said aloud, and to herself, "but 'lll manuge not to be at home." "Toh bet he will," declared Kate. " 'Cause I'm going over to see him to morr ow." After the dlnner dishes were washed and everything cleared away, the Dales always setti ed down in their comforta ble sitting room. The conversation drifted to Robert Gordon and tovari ons other topics of the day. Finally Ann spoke up: "I'm going blueberrying tomorrow morning. Any body want to go with me?" "I wish I could," answered Betty, "but I've got some ironing to do." "And I've gotto finish making that blue dress of mine," answered Kate. "Well, I guess you will have to go alone, Ann," said Mrs. Dale. "You know I never go." The next morning Ann was up bright and early, but not before her mother, for Mrs. Dale was always up early. With two good-sized palls Ann started off. "Look out for snakes," was her mother's last warning. It seemed to stay right in Ann's mind, for she was always thinking about them. It began to get late. Ann was plck- Ing a few berries to have the pails brimful, when she spied something moving. It was green. "A snake !" screamed Ann. % She turned and ran just as fast as she could go, looking back every now and then to see if the reptile was pursuing her, when suddenly—bump! What was that? Turning her head Ann saw a fine-looking young man looking down at her. **Why—er—er, I beg your pardon, Rob. , Er —I mean Mr. Gordon," she panted. "Oh, that's ali rigbt, Ann. Er—Miss Dale. But why the sudden rush? "Oh, I don't know; I'm so fright ened ! I was picking blueberries back there, when I saw a big green snake coming right at me, and I —ran, that's ali. Please don't cali me Miss Dale, Rob. Ann, if you please. Oh. I was so frightened !" Ann swayed, but Rob caught her and by fanning her with his hat he soon brought her back to her senses again. In her rush Ann had spilled most of her berries nnd Rob helped her to fili the pails again, and then accompanied her home. As he left her at the gate he whis pered : "We're ali made up, aren't we, Ann?" "I 'spose so," laughed Ann, and she tripped into the house. "What makes you look so happy?" questioned Betty as Ann entered. "Oh, something," she answered. "Well, keep it," Betty pouted. "Kate went over to see Rob, but they said he had gone blueberrying. You didn't see him, did you?" "Didn't I, though?" sang Ann as she sallied into the next room. A week later as Rob and Ann were strolling along tlje country road, 'arm in arm, and after the one word of ali words, "yes," had been said, Rob ques tioned Ann. "Well, dear. what do you want for your engagement gift?" • "An eraerald ring," piped Ann. "An emerald ! Don't you want a diamond?" "No, an emerald. You see, it was a green snake." "Oh !" laughed Rob. "So that's it? Well, you shall have it." "Well, you see, if it hadn't been for that little green snake (Ann had fully decided it was little) why our friend ship would have been broken forever, and now everything is mended. The little green snake was responsible, Rob." Rob agreed, and true to his promise One night some days later the Dale family was again seated at the supper table. "What's that you've got on your finger there?" asked Betty. At the same time pointing to the ring on the third finger of Ann's hand. "Why, that's a ring," answered un concerned Ann with a smile on her face. "Come, now, teli us ali about it," piped Kate. Ann did. She told about the green snake and ali. Mrs. Dale wasn't a bit surprised, for she had been let into the secret long ago. r The girls laughed and Betty sang out : "Oh, you little green snake !" When Rob left to do his bit for Uncle Sam, Ann sent him away with a smile although it seemed as though her heart would break. But perliaps she thought of the little bit of green that sent her the good luck to bave a soldier boy to send away with a smile. Eamed His Meal. Governor Stephens was commenting on the misuse of the uniform by per eons who have no right to use it. "They ought to be in jail," he de dared, "but once in a while you can't help but forgive the culprit. I have in mind the case of a tramp in uniform who asked a housewife for a meal. " 'So you were in the battle of the Marne?' " Tes, ma'am,' replied the tramp. " *What can you teli about that great flght?' "'Not a word, ma'am. I'm on my honor not to reveal a thing I saw or did. That's a very strict military rule.* " Volete vendere la vostra casa? Avete terreni da vendere? Volete affittare la vostra casa?
