Stepp & Fleming Office For Rent Located at Five Points Apply to HALL & MOORE There Is no more lonely experience than being among strangers In a largo city, upon a holiday; so thought Lydia Hargrave, as she started out for the matinee one Thanksgiving after noon, in a brave effort to enjoy the day, in splto of her lonely condition. Lydia belonged to an old cultivated family of llartt'ord, but, liUo so many of our old eastern families, the strength of the llarKraves had been gi ven to tliV accuiuuhition of cultiin* rather tliaii the accuiinilatioii of dol lars, and l.ydia had aeceptod a potsi- tion ill a young ladies’ boarding school in liuffaio. Mr. Joshua Wheeler, middle aged, well-to-do and a merciiaut of llaitford. found iiimself held in lUiffalo over this Banu? Thanksgiving day, lie did not know that l.ydia \vas in iUiffalo— Indeed, he luiii not seen nor thought of her since she was a child. Lydia, as she turned down Genesee street, headed for the Star thi'ater, was delighted to sec sonic one from her old home, and approached Mr. Wheeler with happy contidence. As she came near enough to speak to him, she f.aw plainly that he did not recog nize her. She hesitated, aii.l filled with embarrassment and indignation, hur ried on. She had not gone far, when she heard raiiid footsteps behind her, and turning immediately, discovered Mr. Wheeler. In his most suave man ner Mr. Wheeler raised his hat and Inquired if sho was going to the mati nee. ‘•Yea,” said I^dia, tentatively. “May I join you?" murmured Mr. Wheeler. “I should be most pleased to have you," she replied. Lydia had been rowing her own boat for over six years and had learned to steer. Mr. Wheeler secured their seats and they were comfortably settled with some minutes to chat before the cur tain wont up. Lydia could not feel certain that Mr. Wheeler did not know her, and in order to test the point, said: “Now you must tell me who you are." Mr. Wheeler hesitated, then with emphasis that ^^as slightly overdone, eald: "Calhoun—Calhoun; I haven’t a card with me, but I'm Calhoun—William Calhoun." Then she knew. ' “And where are you from, Mr. Cal houn?" sweetly murmured Lydia. I “I’m from New York.” “New York city?” I “Y’es, from tlio metropolis. And now you must tell mo your name." , Lydia could not think of any high- ' sounding, romantic name, so she chok ingly murmured: “Jones, Mary Jones." j "O, come now, your name isn't I Jones; tell me what it really is." I "Hut it is Jones, and it is unkind of I you to doubt it. It is bad enough to ‘ have to go through life with such a I plebeian name without having people j make personal remarks about it." Here the curtain went up and their I conversation was Interrupted. Just be fore the last act her escort said: "I'm going to take you Home.” “No," said Lydia, tr> ing to fence, “It is so far out to my house that you would get lost, and perhaps never get back." “I'm going to take you home. You havo led me to believe that I might, and I don’t intend to let you go alone.” “Hut your Interpretation ia wrong.” “What other interpretation Is there?” “This. I had every right to speak to you—every right to let you go to the matinee with me, for I have enjoyed your acquaintance, and the acquaint*^ ance of your wife and daughters, for many years, Mr. Joshua Wheeler, of Hartford.” Lydia donned her wraps, and still smiling broadly, extended her hand. "I thank you for the Jclllest after noon of my Ufa. Now will you take me to my car?” “In heaven’s name, who ara you?” ejaculated Joshua. “Mary Jones, of Buffalo,'' smiled Lydia. “Will you take m« to my car?" “I will." And he did. I . ■■■ I ———. REFRESHMENT FOR ONe] $100.00 IN GOLD PRIZE WINNERS By CLARA POEHLMAN. “Mother wants to know If she can have—" began small Clara, trotting ,lnto Mrs. Brown’s back hall. Then 'she sniffed. "I’m—1 guess I smell fudge!” she I exclaimed, stepping slowly but sure- 'ly toward the kitchen door. "I haven’l , had any fudge for the longest time. “it isn’t fudge? Weil. I'm sure it smells like fudge. What Is it? Cho colate. Well, 1 like that, too. "I'll, no. I’m not hungry. That is, 1 am liiiiigry. but I don't think I'd bet ter take any chocolate. W'ell. I would like a cup, maybe. It smells like fudge and choeolate soda. I had a choco late soda last night. "What’s that in the little pan? It's such a cunning little pan. Eggs? Why don't you just boil them In the tea kettle? I don't see why It wouldn't be clean. I’m sure n.y mother does. Anyway, she would if she thought of It “Oh, what's that cunning little brush? Why, It’s a toothbrush, isn’t it? Do you brush your teeth out here? Oh, you use it for vegetables! Do some of them have teeth the same aa potatoes have eyes? I'm sure my mother doesn’t brush our vegetables' teeth. "Oh. yes, I see. You scrub the dirj oft them. That's nice. I just hate to find sand on piy baked potatoes. "Hut 1 think the toothbrush for the vpget.'ibles is fine. Is It yours or Mr. lirown’s? "Oh, I thought It was Just a worn out one you were using up out here. You know, sometimes the bristles get old and fall out—and stick into you— but they wouldn’t hurt the vegetables, would they? 1 think it is a very good way to iiso up your old brushes—and Mr. Brown has such big teeth that he must use up lots of them. Oh, yes, I forgot: you did say this was a new one. But I think when I tell mothei she’ll use old ones, for we’ve got so many around. “Once I brushed my teeth—that's how I know about the loose bristles. I don’t know whose brush it was, but it was the nicest looking one In the bathroom, so I took some of mother's new face cream and put on it and then brushed the baby’s teeth. He made such a fuss that I Just brushed my own to show him it was all right— only, of course, I didn’t use face cream on my teeth. .1 could tell from the way the baby acted that It didn’t taste as good as it smelled. But the bristles came out all over niy mouth— We wish to announce the winners of the three prizes offered by us. $50 in Gold 1st Prize: L. C. Fletcher, ^X'intervllle, N.
