WILL BE A FLOOD I Os Magazines if Subscription List Taken by Wo- | rpan Agent ' IS ANY INDICATION Arranged Date to Play Pool —Men Flocked—Took Subscriptions. I If all those magazines, two or tlire< in a set, for which two hundred or more Decatur men subscribed of a fair damsel last week, come in due time, the mail carriers wil certainly have some job in delivery; It is quite likely that it wiil be necessary to call ‘ the draymen to their assistance.l There may be a flood of magazines. I But then, too, there is some doubt in the minds of the subscribers as to whether the magazines will come, since the police of Huntington, wher the solicitors went from here, have succeeded in getting a statement of i one of the girls, as to how they work : ed their “subscription” game. Many a Decatur man is being guyeu here, as to his easy biting. The solicitors traveled in a party of fiveman and wife, two young men and a young lady. They came here last week arid one evening a date was arranged for one of the girls to play pool at a local (tool room. Os course the word spread like wild-fire among the men of the city and at the appointed time, there were a hundred or more men in the Decatur pool room —of course to see the unusual sight of a lady playing pool. And she could play, too. But when she got through playing and had the quarry ranged about in fine shape, she sidled up and asked them to subscribe for her mag azines. The cluh offer was forty-nine cents. She began by asking the man if lie wasn’t a friend of the pool room men Sbe said she was working for a uni verslty course. Nearly every man subscribed and told her to keep the extra change from a fifty cent piece, given for the “bargain club price” of forty-nine cents. (And doubtless ev ery one of the men has an economical wife who prefers to walk several squares to get a half-dozen eggs where , they are twenty-nine cents a do: ?n instead of buying them at the nearer , grocery where they are thirty cents ven If the half-dozen in both cases is fifteen cents!) It is said the woman cleaned up; about fifty dollars at the one pool room cn subscriptions. The police at Huntington. where they went from here, nipped their lit tie trick before it went far, and they ■ ' were asked to leave. The subscriptions may be all right, as answers to references showed they , were reliable if tlie answers were, bu’ one Decatur man who was beguiled into the club game, said today: “OU course 1 expected something of the, sort, and I don’t care for the sub-1 scription. But 1 have written to tlie j address of the agency and have told them that if the money for the maga- . , zines has not.been sent in, not to send , i me a bill after sending the magazines. - For Wayne & Springfield Ry.

Mattia’s (fhrwtniaa By MART D. ARROTT INDENETTE struggled vain!y w,th lhe tearß tha ‘ ra squeezed at last through tlred e y elldß ’ u " ot often that the brave little homemaker gave way to J? grief, but in the present mojQ ment she seemed unable to fVx. : control her emotion. TwSfP ,n ,hc next room childisll v o> c * B prattled joyously. TjCO Llndenette bad not found the heart to tell them that Christmas would have to ro,ne and 80 without tlie , much heralded visit from Santa Claus. Since the I KxpjW loss of both parents Linden e tte had managed to keep jKL a roof over the heads of her small brother and sister and had provided food for their slight frames. What did it matter if her cheeks had | lost their roses and her lips 1 I th® lr cheery bloom? Tlie ' Bm il® lingered That war all that mattered. Sl.e brushed her tears aside and arose to answer an unex- | pected summons from the knocker. ’ She looked her surprise at the great man who stood on her tiny porch. i "I have come in search of one Lin- ’ den Lane," the stranger said with a ' smile to which the girl responded. “The name is unusual.” admitted Lindenette, "and my own is even more impossible—being Lindenette Lane. May 1 ask you in from the cold?" She opened the door and Marvin Goodwin entered the pitifully barren room into which she led him. His eyes followed the girl rather than the contents ot the room. Two small, jkale faces peered at him from the kitchen door, and Goodwin smiled at them. “Do I look like Santa Claus?" he asked them l.y way of breaking the Ice. “No. you don’t;” returned the boy, bluntly. "Besides, Linda says it may be too cold for Santa Claus to come out this year." There Tas a wail from the little sister, and the boy strove vainly to conceal his disappointment at this announcement. Linda gave them each a hug and told them to run along When they had gone she turned to Goodwin wit’ inquiry in her eyes. "My errand is a pleasant one," he said quickly, for his own voice was none too controlled. "It will add tc four happiness, I know." He drew a memorandum from his pocket, and after consulting it. asked: "Your fa ther. Linden Lane? Did he live it Stillwater, Minn., 22 years ago?” “Yes,” replied Linda, with a flush ol , excitement lending roses to het cheeks. “I was born there*.'' “Then, to come directly to the point,’" Goodwin told her, “we find :wo depos I ■ '• its of $25 each in two of our banks there. One Linden J. Lane opengd the account 22 years ago.” Linda laughed softly. “My father used always to fear bank ■ failures, and put small amounts in many banks." She turned sparkling I eyes upon Goodwin. “We tFaught wt I had collected all his savings," slit ! said. "These two nests were undiscov- j I ered." the man laughed, "and the hens. ■ have been laying golden eggs. Yot ' have, at this very minute S3O0 —” I i "Three hundred dollars! Oh!” she I impulsively held out her two toilworn ' little hands, "it is a fortune! The | children! They can have their Sants Claus!" Goodwin found himself feeling hap pier than he remembered having felt before. Was it the knowledge that he had been the Good Fairy in this small family, or was it something more subtle, more wonderful that had crept into his mind? He laughed a trifle nervously. I “I am going to ask for immediate I payment for the joy I have found sot you,” he said and when Linda's ques I tioning eyes met his he said impetu-, ously: “Let me come tomorrow —and help make Christmas glad for the , children. May I come?" Linda glanced at him with a new ( shyness. "Yes,” she said, simply. ‘lf yon like I will go with you to help get that Christmas tree.” Next morning Linda and the chii [ dren were up early. II The crackling of the fire as it roared up the stovepipe created a spirit ol cheerfulness that greeted Marvin Goodwin when he presented himself at an early hour. 'j “Oh!” shouted Bobby, “here’s our own Santa Claus!” His eyes Were glued to the armful of packages Goodi win deposited on the table. "Bobby!" cried Linda. “Haven’t you ever been Claus before?” queried Peggy. “Never! This is my very first experience. I hope I will acquit myself with proper dignity.” • And Linda’s eyes, over the heads ol the children, looked down deep lets Goodwin’s big soul, and unconsciously she let the man read what her heart was saying. “Next Christmas,” he was saying in his mind, “Linda will have permanent roses in her cheeks, and her eyes will be mine, and that will be all the happiness one Santa Claus could have.” -. Lindenette smiled.
