It wai Just bad lack! I'm hoodooed, that's what!" "I thought you were asked over to ▼fait Mabel's family at their nlace in the country," objected his friend with the fuzcy hat '"T was," admitted the yonng man with the receding chin. "And I put it to you if that wasn't encourage ment When a girl's family lets her Invite a man for a week-end doesn't It look as though everything was all right? And if the girl didn't want you couldn't shfe sidestep the invitation? "Mabel wrote me a nice letter when she asked me and I considered the question before accepting. A man doesn't want to commit himself off hand, you know. Girls are so fright fully keen these days, and while Mabel never seemed ao you never can tell. Still, I had always liked Mabel pretty well, and you know where her dfid stands —he's got Id much money thai tbey use it for kindling wood. So I made up my mind that I might do lots worse. Resides, I hated to dis appoint Mabel. I resolved to ask her to marry me and get It over with." "Gee!" said the man with the fuzzy hat in admiring tones. "I like to see a man with courage!" "I was a little surprised," said the young man with the receding ehln, "to find when I got there that about six other fellows had been invited, and among them that Rollson chap —that particularly obnoxious fellow who never notices anybody, you know. I resolved to show him a few things. So I got Mabel to myself the very first day. She had the garden hose turned on her pet flower bed and I rushed out to help her. She in sisted that she preferred to water the flowers herself, but I simply took the hose away from her and naturally she had to stay and watch me use it I tried to lead up gradually to what I had in mind, but she didn't seem to realize the situation and always ran me off the track. Finally I turned to her in desperation and, throwing out my hands, said " "What?" breathlessly Inquired his friend. "Well, whatever I said was cpm pletely lost in the subsequent sxolte rnent," admitted the young man with the receding chin. "When I threw out my hands I dropped the hose naturally and the nozzle struck on a atone at such, an angle that the full force of the stream hit Mabel in the face and drenched her. "I didn't see her again till evening, but, of course, neither did Rollson. Naturally I sought her out to apolo gize. She had Just taken a chair un der the moonvine at one end of the porch and said "Ob!" In a rather dis appointed tone when she looked up and saw me. It sounded as though she had expected some one else. "'Mabel,' 1 began, '1 cant tell you how sorry I am—" " 'Don't try,' Bhe said. But I kept on for an hour. Whenever any on* else walked toward the corner I hitched my chair around to prevent the Intrusion, so we were not dis turbed. Finally she rose and so did I. I stepped closer to her and took her hand, but Just as I Bald 'Mabel' aoftly she let out a shriek that brought every one running. "'My foot! " My foot!' she walled. 'You brought your great heavy down on my fpot and nedrly killed mej" T'hen that Rollson chap pushed in abend of mo and half carried her to a chatr, It was most annoying. Rut I knew that fate conld not defeat a persistent mart. "The next day all of us went for a wijk, but despite my efforts could pot get n word wftfi Maoe!. 7 admlrej her A girl can always feel a proposal In the air, and It Is nat ural for her to throw obstacles in the way. It c/fily proves her Interest Finally 1 circled around and reached a stile ahead of the rest. I planned to be there when Mabel arrived and help her over before Rollson could climb the fence and do it himself. It worked beautifully, only as I bobbed up smiling and lifting my hat I ran plump Into a hornet's nest In i sassafras bush back of me—nnd 1 don't know who helped Mabel over that stile. "Every one seemed to think it my fault that Mabel was stung by several of the little beasts, too. "I made up my mind that I would have to write my proposal and send It to her. Rut Just before I left her for home I accldently overheard Mabel and her father talking. "'Good gracious!' Mabel told him, 'Don't blame me if he has kept out of all your bridge games! I told you he could play bridge when you,, wanted some one to fill out»your table, but 1 didn't guarantee to chain him Into • chair! Haven't I endured enough in my constant maneuvers to escape his •ttemptß to propose to me? I've been nearly drowned and poisoned by hornets and my foot was smashed trying to get away from hlm—and Mr. Rollson. ready to slay him at sight! Go away, papa, and don't add to my. troubles!' ■ —"Now T leave It to you if I didn't serve Mabel right just to let matters drop and not write that proposal'." "Yon did!" agreed the friend with the fuzzy hat —Chicago Dally New*. A Local Product Too. "Have you any aptitude for quota tions?" asked the literary person d his friend the haberdAher.
