Elizabeth had a hobby which was both absorbing and practical. She made marionettes, wrote little plays | in which to cast them and built the | stages and equipment, Then, for a‘ percentage of receipts, she gave en- tertainments in her own and adjoin- ing villages. She was more than or- dinarily clever at this work and the chardcter she managed to express in | molding the features of the puppets | bespoke a future for her genius if she would but pursue it seriously. At home she had only the use of her own room for her work, There was a large family and she could not usurp their rights. Elizabeth and Will Hamilton had been village children together, high | school comrades. Later on there seemed to be no necessity for declar- ing their love. It was a sort of take- for-granted alliance and they were both happy, being young and busy. But when within two years Will's parents were taken away, and he | found himself the scle occupant of an old-fashioned, gloomy homestead, he began to feel the need of Ilizabeth. He spoke to her and they became really engaged. In their newly acknowledged relationship they found much joy—for a time. - And then, when serious discussion of marriage ensued, there came the disagreements. | Will could not quite see why a girl would not be happy coming into his old house. How could he know of her dreams of a far, far different nest, a’ home in which she could continue her work, surround herself with all the things she felt she needed, and, at the some time, be all that he need- | ed, sweetheart, wife, homemaker? One tiny disagreement led to an- other. They were growing far apart, and at last they had decided that they were not meant for each other. At least, this is what they told each other. Will, being the sort of man who had never made a serious study of human beings, much less women, finally had taken Elizabeth at her word and had seized the golden op- portunity in his field, that of real estate, to go South, Before going he had disposed of the old house that had been the original bone of con- tention, and "it was torn down by housewreckers, " Weeks passed. Elizabeth was lone- ly. Will, even though he had met guc- cess in southern ventures, could not fill the vacancy left in his life by the passing of Elizabeth. He was about to decide gn a bold plan. A letter from one of his friends back in the home town put the final decision on his tentative venture. The | letter merely remarked that Elizabeth | was looking a trifle pale, wistful, he thought, Nothing had so stimulated Will since he went South. This carelessly dropped bit of information about the girl. he loved gave him hope. He went about with all his energy trying to get enough material and workmen to put up a lovely bungalow in the new city by the sea. Everything in the way of lumber and building mediums had been con- tracted for, so great was the rush to this wonderful spot. And Will found himself telegraphing to a big firm of “housewreckers whom he knew in a city near his home town. He asked them to send him, specifically, doors, windows, a couple of mantlepieces— anything they could at once. In a very short time he had built a home as nearly like the one he had fancied Elizabeth wanted as it was possible for a mere man to reproduce from fragmentary remarks. When he was ready he wired to Elizabeth: “I have a home for us —a new one with a studio for my | girl. Will she come.” Her reply was merely: “Yes—will write.” But instead of her going down to the resort state, Will went back home to be married, and when they entered their new home together the first thing that caught the eye of the bride was a familiar mantlepiece. “Why—Will!” she cried. “Yes, dear. Let me tell you about it. It is a romance, indeed. I could get no materials here of any sort, so I sent back to a housewrecking firm and asked them to send me what they could to help out with the building of | this home. To my wonderful surprise there were several bits that had been taken from my own old home. The people TI sold it to had it torn down by a wrecker, and he, in turn, sells it where he can. It is like a fairy tale | that the doors and mentlepieces of the very home you didn’t like, but which I loved dut of childhood association, should have been picked out to send here for our new house, Do you mind?” Elizabeth tried to tell him that she had never dreamed of anything so charming as the home he had built for her. “And I shall love it all the more be- cause it will seem a part of you— the boy I have always loved.” “It is compromise, by Fate, of our silly misunderstandings, dear.” An English scientist has invented apparatus to recover fuel oil from water pumped into a ship for ballast rr lL Annes Cull Loafing Hens Loafing hens in the farm flock ! eat up the profits that the busy bid- { dies make.
