The small hog is now de nted to both men, "Daddy Jim" mod 1 Daddy Boh .**“ The older Boh was at tacted hy Caroline Dale, the sew Waitress at the station lunch room, phen he west there for breakfast this homing. Jim Fowler chances to he at Mrs. O'Leary’s house later in the day when Caroline calls in starch of S room. CHAPTER VI Like Kipling’s tumult and shout ing that dies and captains and kings who depart, the rash and the rage of Crater City’s epidemic began to pass away presently; but the busi ness of Larvey’s Depot lunchroom never subsided to its oldtime hum drum normalcy again, and the only competitor, a Greek in the Feeney building, was forced to turn his res taurant into a bootblack parlor. T}ie heat waned out of the fever and was replaced in due time by a permanent prevalence in the Yards of rough admiration and warmly loyal affec tion for the girl who brought friend ly interest into the crass hunger appeasement, sunshine into , the prosaic dispensation of eggs and bacon. To Bob Wilson the coming of Caroline Dale had swiftly taken on k deep personal significance, supply ing the one deft touch of rounding softness necessary to make his so cial rejuvenation complete in soul and body, mind and heart. Before their second meeting (which had oc curred on the night of Caroline's first day at Mrs. O’Leary’s, when he called for Bobby) was over Bob knew that some vital taper had been relighted in the innermost sanctu ary of his breast. “What do you say if we have a picaic tomorrow?” i’ He was in love—with a consum ing. tender, undenied depth. I But with this rekindlement of a sort he had thought would never again flame in his soul came also troubled qualms, for Bob was fund amentally ethical and honest. Had five entombed and undiscovered years given him the right to—love gomeone like Caroline? He passionately decided that it had, and tried to banish the faded (eaves that were restirring in a cold memory. The past was dead these five years and over; he was Bdb Wilson now and forevermore. It often struck him that under his real name he was a stranger to even himself; he could not respond to the old name. Socially, he was but five years old. ) Timidly, but feeling that he walk ed on morally sound ice, Bob had set out to capture his new and gold en dream. And among the tactics of fits siege was a daily call at the Widow O’Leary’s to meet Caroline and wajk down to the Depot with her. Unknown to Bob, for the simple reason that the railroad schedule had evidently entered into a con spiracy with Fate to keep its cards under cover, ’Jim had also battled with qualms of a different sort finally deciding that it was right anc proper and a beautiful privilege for; him to center hopeful attentions (upon Caroline. Jim had believed through the years that no one could ever take a second and equal place in hia heart; but Time uses a quaint and gentle sandpaper, and when his 1 human frailties led him spellbound 1 in .the glorious wake of the wonder ; fat girl J« n justified himself on the (round fest H he should marry 0 “! 4 Garter Dispute. • In mm* mififl in* their own bu.u**-I wS„U life to remark that if ,It. id not the Mane** s/ iueu, to;take .notice, then'l majority ol caste, the-jirl has in- again it would be for the sake of r getting a good stepmother for Bob*. t by and not because Caroline, or any; ’ other girl, would.—or could—replace * his wife in his heart. Caroline, j though, was worthy of unqualified . inclusion for her own sake. A combination of traits and con- f siderations joined the railroad b schedule in its odd conspiracy to a keep apart the two friends who had £ hitherto in all things and in all ways 0 had no closed books to one another. To begin with there was Bob’s nat- e ural predilection for caution and secrecy, developed through yeirs of 1 watchful guardianship over his J tongue and his innermost cherished " thoughts. Even to Jim, Bob bad never confessed the past; and now there was no reason to immediately parade something that might be awkwardly stitched into that past, were it but known. Then there was Jim’s sensitiveness; he wanted to be sure of his emotional justification and confident in his ability to ex press it before confessing to Bob, but own up he was determined to do just as soon as he was sure of i himself—and her. But above all jl there was the third and most potent ( 1 complication, the railroad schedule’s J part—widely divergent hours oi 1 work that gave no time or opportun ity for confidences, or for those se rene moments in which secret! could be led up to and revealed. Go- 1 ing out on the Limited Mail at night, Jim was away all day every 1 second day, laying up at the next Divisional headquarters four hun dred miles west. He would return then on the following night, shortly after midnight. That gave him pne full day at home, every other day, still, as he slept late on thesf morn ings, he did not customarily so« Bob unless the latter was on a la* schedule. The railroad schedule's entry into Fate’s conspiracy was in an unprecedented rush of work sos Bob that had kept him away on long runs and had given him much over time in the few days since Caroline’s lunchroom debut. But wise Mrs. O’Leary had been observing the lay of the land and the direction of the wind; for Caro line’s hours were such that while Bob saw her every morning, Jijn encountered her in the early even ings when he stopped by to \leave Bobby. This worked a double ad vantage for Bob, who also saw Car* oline when he called for Bobby on his way home from work. Mrs O’Leary had seen that Caroline’s if* terest was in Bob, not in Jim; and in Bobby, but not in 4iis father. She had seen, too, that Jim was mistak ing Caroline's interest in Bobby for circumlocutory interest in himself And the -good Widow furtively trembled in suspense and trepida tion as she witnessed the unwitting rivalry of the sworn friends, Bok and Jim, for the innocent and un suspecting Eve.’ One morning, when Caroline wai no longer the town's nine-day-won der. Bob was gay with the plans ol youth and romance as he walkec proudly and brightly to the station with Caroline, whose duties required her to be on hand at 6:30 A. M.—' the ham and eggs shift—but gav< her the late afternoon and all ol every evening off. Furthermore ' : one day a week she had a whole, holiday; tomorrow was such a day, i she had just told Bob. “Listen, Caroline, I’ve put in a barrel of overtime lately, and I'm tired enough to feel justified in ask ing for a day off. What do you say | if we have a picnic tomorrow— -1 lunch with pickles and paper nap- i . kins and all that sort of thing in i ’» the pine groves on Starling Hill?’'. • “Oh, I'd love to, Bob!” " —it’s a cool place and we can . , walk among the daisies or loaf on . the cliff and watch the clouds sail , overhead—” j “Poet I” she charged. | “—and hold hands, aqd—” ■ "So, the truth wjtl Out—horrid , man!” mockingly. , Bob wilted under her playful * glare, cloaking the eager twinkle in \ his eyes with smug cofjtrifooass. , “Well-—” she continued misphiev- I ously, “I’ll think it over, but if we J go I guess we’d better foke Bobby p along t° ke«P me company while ’ you sulk if you cap’t have your way * —about your last threat!” * l‘ "I love Bobby, but daisy fields e mid cliffs are no place for him to * play—when there won’t be anybody *to watch him—so he stays with the j Widow!” said Bob firmly. c '■/- ■ i;| |- v (To M <*«tiww4> j .num m»Mt= jdtetl hy^ own iit nSt exposed t hctSeWcs 1 oßAtejftJriwfl touch. f * A. j*. r. s ' 1 The Merchants and Cltiaena’l Handicap for thrce-year-oldß And over, which is one at' the .prominent fixtures of the summer race meeting, at Saratoga, was inaugurated tit 1001. fl Mr ■ v i > Both of Them ten to Be Interest-] - Min AMkv Agriculture. j Greensboro, Aug.
