4-h ROMANCE. 'M,i
Wilfiil lansy Oets a, Proof oi" Its
Unreality.
"I wonder," mused Wilful Pansy,
the mill maiden, "it he will notice
me?'
And the most beautiful girl of all
the thousands of female employes of
the vast carpet works tossed Her pret
ty head and felt of her immense vam
pire shaped back hair ribbons in an
arch sort of way as she bent over her
looms.
"They say," she went on musing,
despite the fact that the bare armed
and sear faced foreman was looking at
ker disapprovingly from the nearby
toorway in which he stood framed in
til his ugliness "they say that he is
Very handsome like a Greek god. Oh,
Isn't that lovely 'like a Greek god?'
IVow, isn't that original. I really won
ler, though, if it is original or wheth
er I made it up myself?" ,
Pleased at her little fancy, the dain
ty Pansy dainty depplte the tact her
shoes looked to be three Bizes too Urge
for her and flopped around and ran
over the heels in a way that was ex
ceedingly mortifying to the poor, sad
Bouled girl the dainty Pansy, called
"wilful" by all of her companions at
the mill because of her pretty, pout
lsh ways, smiled to herself.
"Handsome," she contiued musing,
"and they say, too, that he has been
hawbly dissipated abroad., Oh, these
gay, care free, debonair men bow lit
tle do they understand tho souls of
we women!" and she sighed a little
sigh. "But he is so young only 24
and they Bay that young men must
sow their wild oats. And yet, if girls
attempt to sow any wild oats "
And again the hapless mill girl,
saddened and sobered before her time
She was only 18, but both her father
and mother were villago drunkards,
and were doing 30 days bits in the
Workhouse most of the time 'again
she gave a little sigh.
"Oh, It is foolish," she went on.
reflecting, after that last sigh, "to
suppose that he would deign to so
much as cast his glance upon poor lit
tle Wilful Pansy, the loom girl. The
lovely girls with the fine clothes and
educated at Vassar and all like that,
up at tbe old manor houso where he
will live with his people, they will at
tract all his attention, and he will nev
er so much as see poor me."
She dabbed at her eyes with her
cheap little handkerchief as a realiza
tion of the heaviness of her life came
sweeping over her.
"He will be home tomorrow," she
went on saying to herself, "and he
will be feted for days, and all of the
tenants ot the old manor house will
go up there to do him honor; and he
will make his fine and pretty speech
es to the girls visiting his sisters up
yonder on the hill, and then per
haps) not until two or three days have
passed he will come down here to the
mill to take) charge and here I am
off in a corner, put here a-purpoee by
that mean old foreman, the hateful
thing, so that none of the many visit
ors who come here can so much as see
me at all!' and the downtrodden mill
girl, feeling the rebellion rising within
her pretty bosom, took on an air nf
pouting that was exceedingly becom
ing to her.
"And yet," she went on, after a lit
tle while, "If he could only see me
well, they do say that I have a pret
ty skin, and nice eyes, and that my Ag
ger Is as good as anybody's if not
better I wish I could wear my straight
front corsets while working here at
the mill, but, of course, I can't and
I guess my hair Is nice to look at,
even If it Isn't marcel waved, and
but, how perfectly silly I am! There
isn't a chance in the whole wide world,
I suppose, that the dear, hanisome,
dissipated thing will so much as see
me, and here I am building castles in
Spain but how beautiful them castles
are how bee-yu-tl-ful!"
The reader will have apprehended
long before this that our heroine, the
pretty, pouting Wilful Pansy, was co
gitating to herself over the expected
arrival home that day from the Uni
versity of Heidelberg, where he had
RETURN.
And the kettle keeps singing u If It
would say:
"Tonight he comes home,
The master cornea home;
Tonight he comes home from the far
away town."
The table is decked In Its napery white;
Pitchers of asters, flaunting and bright.
Their mirth in the sheen of the silver
drown; , , , .
And the food Is his favorite, dainty and
For naught la too good for tills lover of
mine
When tonight he comes noma,
To nevermore roam;
When tonight he comes home from tha
far-away town.
My lips must smile so he'll never regret
The false fascinations I'll help him for
get; I'll hold him henceforward with charms
of my own.
I'll never allude to tnc rnst nnd Its pnln.
But speak of the morrow nnd radiant
gain.
Oh, tonight ho comes home,
My lover comes home!
Oh, tonight he comes home from the far
away town!
Hark, tia hla step and the click of the
He's corning he's here, my lover, my
mate! , .
And look! through the clouds the moon
shimmers down
A sign that my waiting and longing are
poet' . , . .
That my anchor In waters of quiet is
cast.
Welcome, oh, welcome,
My Love, to your home!
Welcome my Love, from the far-away
town!
From Woman's Home Companion.

been studying of course, where he had
been studying of young Ralph Ray
Gitkale, the reckless spendthrift, yet
handsome and lovable scion of the
house of Gitkale, who, despite all of
his youthful wildness at the various
European universities to which he had
been sent, was fairly Idolized by his
father, and who was still remembered
by all of the older tenants on the man
or estate as a. handsome, rollicking,
de'il-may-care lad whose antics in the
village were never at an end.
And now, today, that same gay Ralph
Ray, now grown to manhood, and with
the appealing record of having been
chucked out of three Buroriean univer
sities for his rolllokingness, was re
turning to the old manor, there to be
welcomed by his father and mother
and sisters, and, in a day or so, to
take complete charge of the Immense
carpet works, hiB old father having
made that announcement to the heads
of the departments only a short time
before.
On the following forenoon our beau
tiful young heroine, Wilful Pansy, her
heart filled with inexplicable Joy, was
bending over her loom, when there
strolled up to the railing behind
which she worked a tall, broad-Bhoul-dered,
rather good looking young chap,
with the exception that his eyea were
some bloodshot and that he had other
indications about him of being a good
deal of a rummy.
Ah! Who shall say, dear reader,
that, after all, Kismet and Nirvana and
Kharmoi haven't a great deal to do
with our little affairs here on earth?
With tremulous heart and tremb
ling hands Wilful Pansy bent over
her work at the loom. What had
brought him there so soon? : What
wild, impossible whim of the god
of good fortune had brought him,
straight as If he were being guided
there by some unseen hand, right up
to her very loom, and at ai moment,
too, when she was conscious of look
ing her very tldest, for hadn't she,
that morning, spent a full hour, by
the light of the little lamp in her
room for it was before daylight
fixing her hair and arranging the b!g
black vampire shaped black ribbons In
her back hair so as to get the most
winsome effect out of them? She
sure had!
And there he was, standing at the
little rail, .just gazing and gazing at
her as she bent over the loom and
the whole world, decked in rose,
swam before her!
"I wonder what he Is thinking," she
said to herself as her heart went pita-pat
"I wonder If he is noticing that
dimple on the right hand side of my
face I must smile, as It to myself, eo
that he will see that," and as ir swept
by some tender humorous thought tbe
beautiful young mill girl smiled until
she knew that the dimple ought to be
showing up fine.
"I mustn't let him see me looking
at him," she said to herself, her heart
boatlnc faster and fester, "and yet, if
I could only catch another glance at
his face " and stealthily she shot a
quick glance at him out of the corner
of her eye.
And when she did that he caught her
ut it, and he actually smiled tack at
her!
"My heaven! He is going to say
something to me," she said to herself
than. "Oh, dear, if he should ask for
the honor of seeing me home from the
mill I've read stories Just like that
and then make me some compliment
about my hair, I know I shall JuBt
perish from embarrassment; 'deed 1
shall," and for a moment she felt
panic stricken. "But I must gain con
trol of myself. Perhaps who knows?
It will not be long before he will
ask me up to the manor house to meat
his mother and sisters, and how hor
ribly jealous all the old things of girls
will be if he does that, and then may
be he'll"
However, Wilful Pansy, the beauti
ful mill girl, wee Just a little bit
ahead of the sprint on her dope. He
did speak to her, it is true, but what
he said, -as he pointed the unsteady
rarer ot n morning rummy at he
back hair, was this:
"Say, look a-here, sir, what'i all o
that cashmere or alpaca swaddlng that
you've got stickln' out o" your back
hair, hey? Ribbons, you call It? Welt,
eay, I never thought there was that
much ribbon In the world. Anyhow,
you've got to flag all o' that stuff,
In your hair. Mln, or Blanche, or
whatever they call you, and I'll tell
you why: First thing you know all o'
that ribbon Junk o' yours '11 get
caught In the machinery, and you'll
be dragged around on a belt or some
thing three or four million times, and
then you'll be hollerln' around here for
the guvnor to pay you damages, and
all like that, und- that damage gag Is
goin' to be cut out, now that I'm run
ning this dump. Understand? All
right, sis. Just you strip your hemp
ot all o' that ribbon gear and you can
go right on workin' here, but It you
can't see it that way you can go and
get your time right now, see?"
Oh, the hapless maiden. Wilful
Pansy, and betas, for her castles in
Spain! Washington Star.

1 That Man's Presence 1

HERE are two classes of plants which are Incited by man's
presence to describe certain definite movements.. One
class, the sensitive-plants, retract their leaflets a3 we ap
proach thera as If they resented any attempt at closer Inti
macy, while the other class, comprising all those vines
which develop climbing organs called tendrils, will reach
out toward us If we place our hands In contact with them,
and will even use a finger as a support to climb upon. We
know that these tendrils will wind just as readily about a
twig or a grass stem, but as one feels those sensitive strands multiply their
encircling colls about one's fingers, there almost seems to be eetablished be
tween us and the vegetable world a more Intimate relationship than has ever
existed before.
Tendrils are indeed capable of exhibiting faculties and goinr: through ev
olutions more wonderful perhaps than many of us realize, it is only after wo
