+ Living Alone in a + Shack • • By H. IRVING KING o ' B+4.++++ ++++++++++++++++++ | (Copyrlfht.) ( JDARALONE HICKEY lived in a little shuck on a lot of hla own, adjoining the estate of Colonel Baldwin. He kept a few hens, a cow and a couple of pigs; had a garden and occasionally did odd jobs for his more lirosperous neighbors. Once in every mouth Furulone donned an antiquated | suit of respectable appearance and vanished for the day. Un these occasions he took the train for the city, 4(» nines awny, and, upon arrival, rang • a bell of a stately mansion in a sash-1 ionable street. Being admitted he was ' met by an old spinster of the “laven- • der and old lace” variety, who said: ‘‘James! James!! When are you going to give up your absurd ideas umi come here to live like a gentleman?” “Never,” was the reply, “I am content as I am. Where's Clara?” "Waiting for you,” sighed Elvira; and then came rushing Into the room a beautiful young lady of twenty-three, who threw her arms around Faralone's withered neck and, kissing him on both cheeks, cried out: “Oh, father!” This was the invariable program. The fact of the matter was that Janies Caswell, twenty-three years before, upon the death of his wife at 'he birth of their only child, had taken his affliction so much to heart that he ! turned his daughter over to the care of his sister, Elvira, and himseli* sought that hermitage where for years he existed, the world forgetting, by the world forgot. But the solitude of ' his hermitage was haunted by two , beautiful, visions—the memory of the ' past Isippiness of his life /with his I adored wife and his plans for the I happiness of his daughter. Why he had taken the name of I Hickey he couid not have told, except that he had once had a valet of that name. Faralone was the nickname bestowed upon him by his neighbors because of his hermit state of life. Now, It happened that one day when Faralone paid his monthly visit to the city he was ahead of his usual time and Elvira said: “Clara Is out. We did not expect you until nn hour later. Now, James, I must talk to you. Clara must be married. She has a lot cf admirers, but, so far, only two real proposals. One is from a poor young artist named Robert Carlton; the other from a rich man’s son. one Arthur Baldwin. Baldwin she ought to ac- , cept, but, unfortunately, I really believe she Is in love with Carlton. That , is, she thinks she Is. He has infatuated her with his romantic ideas. But , ■ he poor—and always will remain i poor.’ Now, we don’t want Clara to ' marry such a man. do we?” At the name of Arthur Baldwin, Faralone had given a start. Well, did he know, by sight at least, that dashing young man who rode almost daily by his hermitage on his thoroughbred hunter. Heir to his father, Arthur possessed prospects of wealth and had an excellent reputation. “Does Clara dislike Baldwin?” asked Faralone. “No,” replied Elvira, “she does not dislike him. but —” ‘Well, well, we will see,” said Faralone. “I will talk to her. Yes. decidedly, she must marry Baldwin. Romantic fancies must not be perI mitted to spoil the life of a young ; girl.” When Clara appeared and hnd gone ■ through her usual demonstrations of affection for her father, Faralon ■ opened the question at once. He told Clara the whole history of his life; what he had suffered; what he had sacrificed. He laid his commands upon her—and she consented. She only begged for time. Yes, she should have time.' But if he could see her the wife of Arthur Baldwin, then he could i sing his “nunc dimittus” and die i happy. Faralone returned to his hermitage. | It was in June, and as he sat the next morning before the door of Ills shack two riders came down the lane. It was old Colonel Baldwin and hi.i son Arthur. The colonel and his son dismounted at Faralone’s and asked for a drink of milk. “Your idea of marrying that penniless Sarah Francis is absurd,” said the colonel. “We need money to take up that mortgage.” “Let us say no more about it.” replied the young man. “I understand your financial difficulties. I have told you J will marry Miss Caswell.” All this, of course, was overheard by Faralone. The next morning the hermit appeared unexpectedly at the stately mansion in the city. “Elvira,” said he, “send Clara here at once.” “Clara,” said Faralone, when his daughter appeared, “you will at once accept the band of that young artist of yours. Arthur Baldwin is going to marry somebody else. And I am going to take up the mortgage on the colonel's estate.” “Why, what are you talking about?” cried Elvira. “Never mind,” returned Faralone. “I know—ls you don’t. As soon as you are married, Clara, I am going abroad for two years and if, when I come back, I find that artist of yours hasn't treated you right, I’ll wring his neck.” Among the wedding presents at the marriage of Arthur Baldwin and Sarah Francis was a silver casket which contained the mortgage on the colonel’s estate —canceled !—and a card bearing the words, “Compliments of Faralone Hickey.” Needless to say. Faralone never had to wring the neck of the young artist

Twenty now professors and instructors have been added to the faculty. o HEAVY FIRING OF ARTILLERY 1 ROCK SHANGHAI (Continued from Page One) cratic picture of the confusion in the battle area, which is just the border of the Ps Chei Li provience, as follows: “Towns and villages in the vicinity have been completely deserted by their inhabitants who fled, carrying household goods with them as though avoiding a pestilence or an earthquake. "Stations along the Pekin-Mukden 'railway, along which the fighting centers, are crowded with refugees, whose plight is piftiful. “Shan Hai Kwan, where the rail-' road pierces the great wall of China, 1 has become the center of the Chi Li forces. Three thousand trained fightling men already have arrived from Hhe capital. Their solid demeanor |contrasts with the terror of the refugees. “Wu Pei Fu is rushing his troops northward. All available troops north of Tien Tsin are expected to arrive at Shan Hai Kwan within a few days. The Chi Li forces then will number about 30,000 at this point. “A deperate and decisive battle is expected to take place soon at this important railway point and -it is here that the fate of Wu Pei Fu or Chang Tso Lin probably will be settled. "Another center of battle will be Jehol where two thousand Wu Pei Fu troops are concentrated.” I o DARROW WILL AID IN FIGHT TO FREE GRANT (Continued from Page One) at the home of Albert H.
