> BEWAREOfI ; THE DOGS. $ ) By Rita Kelley. Z \ CopyngnL to*. bj M. X. CußunchaM / “Hello: What are you doing here; here of *ll places’ What’s this? Tar, by Jove! Aral rents all over your frock!” “You seem to be nothing but a big interrogation point," quoth the girl resentfully. refusing to look up at the athletic chap striding toward her. She was seated on a bowlder making sun dry dabs with scraps of old newspaper at some biack spots on her gray •Kin. and at the sound of his voice the color had rushed furiously to Lev cheeks. “Can't a girt get tar on herself if she wants to? And Fd Eke to know If I haven't as good a right to be here—alone, as you have?" she challenged. The man laughed joyously and dung himself down at her feet. “Delicious.” be said. "Go on." The girl bit her lip. “You were always taking advantage." she flared out. He laughed again, rolled over and touched one of the spots. She bad forgotten them. “Will they come out?" I ' he asked. She flushed again, more painfully than before, at beisg thus off her guard when she wished of all times to be mistress of herself. “I don't know.* she exclaimed, “and I don't care, but I think you are mighty mean." She stood up suddenly, fling- i Ing away the blackened newspaper. I i “Didn't I tefi you that I never would speak to you again and that I never wanted to see you? And here you are making me miserable and yourself obnoxious: Oh. I don’t want you to I touch me: I bate you."* “AgathaHe leaped to his feet, the ■ boyishness gone from his manner, his face grown strangely tense. “If I thought you meant that!” he cried. - clinching his bands till the knuckles showed white. "Oh. If I thought you meant it!" She turned away, unable to meet the searching pain in his eyes, and gazed down at the river rolling its piacid

A squirrel chirped exultantly as he jumped for a falling beechnut and a belated thrush warbled out a song of sweetness and light from the hawthorn hedge near by. Only man knew strife—and a girl. The silence that is more deadly than a battle of words and more difllcult to end grew appalling. Agatha felt driven to bay by a relentless pursuer, while she groped frantically for something to dismiss him utterly, to free herself of his oppressive nearness. “WelL why don't yon go?” she gasped finally, struck cold by the need for saying it “I can t go, Agatha—l can’t go—till I know that you mean It" The misery in bis voice stung het. “Haven't I said it T she cried in self defense. “Yea. Agatha, but I have such a tiny hope that you don't always mean what you say”— “Don't you think I meant it when I told you three months ago I never wanted to speak to yon again? Dos t you think I meant it when I released you from—our—engagement?” She hid her face convulsively in her hands. “Agatha,” be said slowly, his voice dropping to its lowest, most vibrant note. “Agatha, what did you mean when—without our engagement being known—except to ourselves— you went Into seclusion and lived like a religietsse? Is it—is IL" be Insisted, “that you cared more than you wished to confess?” Site uttered a sharp little cry. “You were always like a surgeon s probe." , Aot, with a beseeching flinging of her , hand: “Please, please go! Don't yon see you make me wretched?” For a moment they stood measuring > each other, ter smoldering, pleading I eyca vainly trying to wrest away from the intensity of his steadfast gaze. There was a crackling of underbrush. ' and a little, wtaened old man. carrying a bunch of newspapers, shambled into the small open. ■ “Thought you might want some 1 more. miss, to clear your skirt with," 5 be said, ignoring the silence of the two g and the presence of the young man. n “How did the scraps do? I come bach t * '9*RH2—L JMg f" WHiTMEI

I as soon as ever I could. KnoWd you'd , be a pretty sight goto’ into town if I didn't -There," be said officiously. crumpling up a large page and thrusting it toward the young man. "you clean that aide, and Hl go al thia, and we ll soon have her tn »tae sort of decent shape.” He squatted tesile the girl and began aerabvhxg the spots as though be were polishing harness. The man looked at the girl, the girl looked at the river, and neither moved a muscle, though the man looked sheepish with his big wad of paper and a bit helpless and quite a good deal forlorn. "Giris la strange critters.” speculated the old man. beginning on another spot “Alius doin' what they ain't got no call to do and jumpin' the traces when yon least expect it Funniest part of ft is they don't allow as they ought to get their come-uppances neither. If you tell 'em not to do a thing they go straight and do ft and if they get into trouble they expect some one to yank ’em out Here, you. " he called suddenly to the young man, "set to and rub out them spots—near as you can." “I—l'm afraid it won't do much good," be said, dubiously eytng the girl rather than the tar smears. The old man's eyes gleamed mischievously. “Haven't you been introduced yet? Well, now. that’s an oversight! Young man, this is a gtri that read that there sign about no trespassto’ on these premises and decided right I off to come to and make me a call That there barb wire fence is enough to keep ordinary trash out but you can't never reckon on a girl Giris mostly needs a keg o' tar, too. and she got both.” The old man backed off ami squinted his eyes. “Mighty fine skirt to get I scratched up. But then, girls is skittish. I'd sooner break sixteen colts one winter than try bringto' one girl to time.” And be grinned iiiuminatingty up at the young man from the safety of the back breadths of the gray skirt The girl shook herself impatiently. ■■That will do. thank you.” she said, moving quickly forward. "It is growing late. I must be going.” But the old man had a firm bold on the skirt and she stopped short He continued to rub away —he tad never j stopped. “Had a little experience o’ that myself.” he said reminiscently, •when I was courtin’ Mandy. Swore she wouldn't ever bare a gol darned thing to do with me—just cause I held Tabitha Juniper's band one sleighin' party to see if Mandy cared. Tickled plum crazy '— For the first time the old man ceased to rub. and, bait crouched, the dirty paper crunched in his hand, be gazed out across the river. "Queer how kind a-durned happy a fellow can be just cause a skittish girl shows him she cares.” he muttered. ' -Wt>oo->To: Wbc-00-oor A shrill, beefcoctog call floated across the wood lot The old man let the tarry paper fall from his big hand. “It’s Mandy.” be said, springing up. “I guess you'll hare to manage now for yourselves. Supper's waitin'.” With a quick sidelong movement be was off through the k>w hawthorn. Both the man and the girl stood and looked at the place where he bad disappeared until the last leaf ceased to flutter, then slowly she turned to the man before her Their eyes met and lingered for a long moment fraught with questioning. What they answered I co«ld not be told to words, so the man i fell on his knees and began—oh, so gently:—to rub a spot of the precious gray skirt She stood looking down on his broad shoulders, his Mg blond | head touched gold by the setting son. Then her eyes wavered to the crude sign. No Trespassing,” directly In front With a quick movement she reached down and ran her slender fingers through bis hair, stooped and touched his face caressingly with hers. “Beware of The dogs." she said tn a voice that choked, but ended in a I laugh (Th« &new Floww. A traveler to Siberia tells us about a wonderful plant found to the northern part of that country, where the ground Is perpetually covered with a coating lof frost and snow. It la exiled the snow flower, and the description of Its birth and Its short life reads Eke a fairy tale. He says It shoots out of the froaeu toll on the first day of the year and attains a height of three feat. O* the third day it bloom*, remaining open for only twenty four hour* Then j the stem, the leaves and the flower are [ converted into snow—in other words. the plant goes back into Its original elj ements. The leaves are three to number. and the flower is star shaped. On ■ the third day. the day the bloom appears. little specks appear on the exl tremines of the leaves. They areabout L the size of the bead of a pin and are the seeds of the flower.
