DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1919

aiiiiiiiiiniinniiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiij liTHE ‘TANGLED WEB’j| = By LOTTIE W. SIMMONS. j = 7lilllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllliiiiniii? Aunt. Betty was a good neighbor, a good cook and a good hand -to lookafter the 17-year old niece intrusted tc her cure—a pretty little miss with a too large appetite for lee cream sodas and the admiring glances of tall young soldiers. When bako-a-ple day rolled nrounf ft fell to Elizabeth to wrap up the extra half-dozen delicious ones Aunt Betty baked and generously set aside for the soldiers. Right under the crust of the most tempting pie of ail she surreptitiously tucked a small strip ot paper with the words: “If you like this pie call at 22 Bowdoin street Saturday evening for another.” Aunt Betty always baked on Saturday and spent the , evening at the Red Cross rooms, leaving Elizabeth alone to keep house. It was a most delicious pie, sc thought Lieut. John H , as he tucked Elizabeth's note inside his pocket. It was Saturday evening before he thought of It again, at just about the same time that Elizabeth was fluffing her hair and wondering if her scheme for a little fun would bring any results When the bell rang Elizabeth flew to the door, a sweet little pink-faced vis ion in blue. Lieutenant H was rather taken aback, but Elizabeth was equal to the occasion. “Oh, good evening," she trilled. “So you are the one that got my note, and you want another pie? Well, come right in—T have one for you—so glad you liked it.” John H was by this time thoroughly enjoying the most unusual situntion. In a pretty room with a pretty girl, tying up an extremely tempting-look-ing pie, all for him —well, the fates were kind, thought he. “I must compliment you on your skill as a pie-maker. Miss ,” hesitating to learn her name. Elizabeth looked blank for a second; then “F ,” she added glibly. “Elizabeth F ; and now who is going to accept this pie?” Elizabeth thrilled a little when she learned his name and his rank, and quite suddenly decided that he was very, very goodlooking. They chatted pleasantly for a few moments, after which Lieutenant II very properly took his leave, “You may have another pie next Saturday evening—if you eare to call for It,” Elizabeth said coyly at the door, which invitation was most heartily accepted by the tall lieutenant. The next morning Aunt Betty discovered that she was a pie short. “Sakes alive! you didn’t eat a whole pie last night, did you, Elizabeth?” she asked. “Mercy, no! Aunt Betty. Someone called at the door last night and I gave one away. Aunt Betty had Just placed the pieboard on the table when the telephone rang insistently. Elizabeth flew to answer it. “Oh, It’s for you,” she called. “Lizzie B —■ is sick and they want you to come right over.” “Mercy,” exclaimed Aunt Betty, “and my baking just begun! Well, I must go, that’s plain. You might make that sponge cake. Keep the Are, and don’t let the beans burn.” Elizabeth gazed In dismay at Aunt Betty's figure hurrying down tho walk. That meant no pie for Lieutenant H-—— that night. Oh, if only she could bake one! Whatever had possessed her to let him believe she could —why hadn’t she explained? What would he think of her? Disconsolately she mixed the sponge cake, but was too wise to attempt the pie. Suppertime came, and uo Aunt Betty, She telephoned Instead saying that she would be home early In the evening. Elizabeth was in despair. Os course auntie would come while Lieutenant H was there! What should she do? It was not the radiant Elizabeth of the week before who answered Lieutenant H ’s ring at the bell, but a very sober little girl in a plnfn white dress. Hardly whs he seated before Aunt Betty bustled in. Elizabeth Introduced them the best she could, and Aunt Betty’s frown vanished before tho frank smile and cordial handshake of the engaging young soldier. ‘lf your niece will make such delicious pies," he began when the formalities were over. “Bless my soul,” interrupted Aunt Betty, “did you bake pies today, Elizabeth? You never made pies before in your life —” Looks on the two faces before her stopped her. “Oh, Mr. H Oh, Aunt Betty,” stammered Elizabeth; then realizing that she must either laugh or cry »h» began to laugh which was the best thing she could do. She explained everything to her listeners as gracefully as she could, ending with “I don’t think I am a natural-born deceiver —really; still I don’t know why I fooled'you both so. Please forgive me.” John H laughed goodnaturedly, seeming neither shocked nor offended, much to Elizabeth’s relief. Aunt Betty, too, was kind aS of course she would be. “You surely did weave a ‘tangled web,' as the poet says. Elizabeth,” she said with a laugh. “There isn’t any pie for Mr. H tonight, but you might bring on your sponge cake—l suppose you made one? And if he will come over to dinner next Sunday there will be pie to grace our table no doubt.” Lieut. John H was a frequent and welcome guest at the F home after that. “I wonder which he likes the best,” mused Elizabeth one night. "Aunt Betty’s pies, or me”; but something in his eyes as they met hers across the supper table convinced her that he would still come if Aunt Betty never placed another pie before him; also that it was high time that she was learning how to bake pies herself.

MiiiminiiininniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiu: jjTHE SCHOOLMA’AM g' = J By ETHEL M. FARMER. JH riiiiHiiiiiiiniiiiimriTmTrinnTHTinTiTniiT Miss Brooks stood on the threshold of the little village school vigorously ringing the rusty old bell. Many schoolma'ams had stood on that same threshold ringing that same rusty bell but somehow this one seemed different from tlie rest. And somehow the clanging of tho bell seemed clearer than ever. The ringing of the bell ceased, the long line of children passed into the building and the schoolhouse door was closed. It was very evident that the long days in the little school were not ones of drudgery. The teacher, who was little more than a girl herself, was dearly loved by all the children. As she began the day’s work no one 1 would have surmised that in her heart there was trouble. “It really did seem strange about Ed. It could not be true. Dick was mistaken. He—” A suppressed giggle Interrupted her wandering thoughts. With great dignity she asked a very modest little girl, who proudly wore two tight braids down her back, the cause of the disturbance. “Excuse me, please,” the girl spoke timidly, “but we had this lesson two days ago,” “Excuse me, too,” was all she said, as she reassigned the lesson. The clock carefully ticked away the minutes and the hands gradually crept along their daily journey. Then a ruler fell on the floor with a sounding thud! A little red-headed fellow in the front seat was working very industriously, with his desk covered witli papers and opened books, but the telltale ruler lay in the aisle beside him. "Jimmy!” “Er, yes’m, Miss Brooks; did you mean me?” And lie struggled desperately to return her look with innocency. “Pick it up!” she said slowly, forcing back a smile. With great surprise he leaned over and picked up the offending article and placed it thoughtfully in his desk. All went well for a while after the rulor was safely deposited out of sight until Jimmy suddenly thought of the lovely, big cud of gum he had stuck under his desk. “How good it would taste!” he thought, but he knew how stern “she” was on chewing in school —he had tried It before. He studied the clock with a sigh, for there were 15 minutes more ! At last he could stand it no longer, and the gum was suddenly and slyly transferred from the desk to his mouth. “How good it was I” And he gave it a few good chews. “Jimmy!” came in low tones from the other side of the room. “Er, yes’m,” he replied, jumping to his feet, "I'll take —” “Put It in the basket and crawl In under my desk. Stay there until the bell rings.” At last the closing bell rang and the children filed out of the building, but Miss Brooks did not notice that Jimmy did not appear. With a sigh she sat down at her desk and drew out part of a newspaper clipping which told of the engagement of Lieut. Edward Smith to a beautiful “society belle.” All of the article was not there, but Dick had assured her that it was true and that Ed had not treated her fair. Just then Dick himself entered the room. “W'here shall we go this evening?” he asked cheerfully. "Are you sure this is true about Ed?” she asked him again. “How can you doubt it? Forget about him and we will have a good time together.” She shook her head. “I guess I will not go tonight. Somehow I do not believe that is true about him.” Suddenly Jimmy opened his eyes. Who said Ed? Why, Ed was his special friend and was coming home from the army this very day! He scrambled out from under the desk, rubbing his eyes. "Why, I’ve been asleep and I promised to meet Ed right after school.” “Ed?” she asked in surprise, after overcoming the shock of the unexpected third party. The boy's face fell. “It was to be a surprise to you," he stammered. Just then Dick picked up his whip, which he had laid on a chair, and disappeared through the door, for he had suddenly spied a tall soldier hastening up the road with one arm carried stiffly In a sling. He had just bnrelv left when the soldier entered. “Ruth!” She looked with surprise and joy at the newcomer. A few minutes later she passed her worn clipping to Ed slowly. His face clouded as he read, but it immediately cleared when he realized its significance, and the cause of the strange disappearance of his old rival whom lie had just caught a glimpse ot down the road. “Tills is another Ed Smith, who lives in town,” he assured her. “I know him. Don't worry about me.” No more explanations were necessary and Miss Brooks’ “problem" was settled very satisfactorily. At a signal from Ed, Jimmy scampered from the building, but he saw what happened later when he gleefully climbed up on the roof and peeked in at the cracked window.
