I' -■ ~ -■* i ■ Beauty and The Beast By DWIGHT NORWOOD ■ 1' ■— — - 1 A scientist has made the statement i that, while beauty in women is highly | I prized by men, beauty in men is not prized by women. Whether or no this is true, the fact remains that a great many very pretty women have married ' painfully ugly men. It does seem to i be the case that women are captured i by men in an entirely different way ’ from what men are captured by worn-1 ; en. Perhaps if the subject were fol- ■ ■ lowed out scientifically it would be i found iu the fact that the man is ! snnred by weakness, while the woman i j is snared by strength. Rosalind Thurber was a very pret- I i ty country girl at the age (eighteen) i when most girls are at their prettiest . ' and was a great favorite with the i - young farmer boys, who were her nnt : ural associates. She was about to j please her father and mother by nc- ; ceptlug Gus Walker, the son of out i of the most prominent farmers in the j neighborhood and commonly considered rich. Young Walker was as hand- 1 some as Rosa was pretty. Indeed, he ' was considered the best looking young fel.ow in all that region. Farmer Gordon, about that time having crops to get in, hired a hand, Joe Green, a man about thirty years old, Who was a sight to behold. He hnd a : birthmark on his neck and when a baby had fallen into a fire which had • scarred bis whole face. Added to this, i he was freckled, and his hair was a 1 sort of red sorrel. One night at a bam dance this scarecrow was present The .’ girls would not dance with him. lie ( invited Rosa among the first, and she , turned her back on him without even ■ deigning him an answer. That ended j his invitations for partners. One o! ■ the young men asked him why he ' didn't go through the whole list, and be replied that since Rosa Thurber would not dance with him he would never danfe with any other girl. Os 1 course this was repeated to Miss Thur- ' ber, who said that she was pleased to i save the other girls the pain of being Invited to dance by such a scarecrow The next thing that Rosa heard ■bout Joe Green was that when twit ted about finding, or rather not finding, a girl to marry him he had said that i the only girl in the world he would care to marry was Rosalind Thurber On hearing it she said that he had a< much chance of marrying her ns be had of marrying the empress of Ger many. One day when Rosa was walking on the road she met Joe. Iler only notice of his presence was to make a i face at him. He lifted his hat po- - litely. Joe used to hang n round the Thurber farm in dopes of getting a sight of Rosa. All the family noticed this and used to twit her about it. One day , when Joe had been sitting on a fence for an hour, looking up at the bouse 1 where she lived, she astonished all present by going out on the (torch and throwing some feed to the chickens. Even then no one suspected that the girl hnd been touched by Joe’a devotion and had gone out to reward him with a sight of her. But under Joe’s homeliness was a keen insight into a 1 woman’s nature, and with great satis- 1 faction he got down from the fence and wont away. The next time she met Green was in the evening when be was taking the boraento water. “Wren are you going to stop making a guy of yonrself about me?” she asked. “I’m not making a fool of myself." he replied. “Os all the meu here- ’ abouts I'm the only one thnt nppre | dates you. You can’t stop me from loving you. no matter what you do." “What do you love me for?” “ ’Cause you’re the only girl in the world worth loving.” “How long have you loved me?” “Since the first night I ever snw you at the bam dance.” "How long ore you going to lore meF •Till the day of judgment.” There being no more information on the subject to be derived. Ritsa passed on. leaving Joe to attend to the rest of his chore*. After awhile Joe Green nnd Rosa Thurber were seen occasionally wntk- j Ing together. Then they began to l>o spoken of ns twenty nnd the benst Gus Walker, who had been expecting, soon to be engaged to her. met her one evening on the road with Joe. Joe attempted to smile nnd mode such a horrible foe of it thnt Gus forgot to bow to Rosa. The next time Gna nnd Rom met be asked ber where wan her scarecrow lover and received a reply thnt some persona wore scarecrows on the outside and some person* were scnrecrowa on the inside. Then she turned on her heel, nnd thnt wna the last there wag of courtship between the two. One day it became reported thnt the pretty Ilosn Thurber was going to marry thnt homely Joe Green. No one would believe it nt first but after Severn 1 of Itoen'e friends find naked her about it nnd she had admitted It it wee accepted ns n fact They were married. nnd the moat astonishing pnrt of the matter followed In a crop of bea\itlful children. Moat of them reaembled the mother, with her raven tresses and rosy complexion, nnd the “red beaded ones,” ns those who Inherited from the father were called, fortunately did I not fall In the fire an he had done and 1 were therefore without his blemi«h In thia respect and without bis birthmark.
