MARRYING BETTY

By IZOLA FORRESTER

(Copyright, ion. by Associated Literary Press.) “I suppose I shall have to take her here for three weeks,” Marjorie declared plaintively. She put down the letter frpm Betty with a heavy sigh. “It is surely all that mother or Betty can expect. She’s been away td college, you know, Wally* and I’ve missed seeing her for two years. But 1 know from her letters that she’s awfully strong and athletic, and her hair always vras, rather red. Really, Wally, I do think you might pay attention when it’s so important.” Wallace laughed, and shook his head. "When it comes to marrying off Bet, or managing Bet, I wash my brotherly hands of the job, also my conscience. If you will have Bet for a sister, kiddie, you’ll have to stand for it.” "But, Wally, I knew she’ll —she’ll smother me. She’ll simply absorb all my v itality in a week. Who can I get for her?” “You mean as a sort of physical exerciser for Bet. Somebody to trot her around dally, ride, golf, walk With her, take up Bet’s surplus energy so she won’t exhaust yours?” “Oh, Wally, darling, that’s it exactly," breathed Marjorie thankfully. Wallace bent dow-n to kiss the pretty upturned face. They had been married only five months, so the honeymoon was still visible in the western sky. “There’s only one man that 1 know of who might fall in love with a girl of Bet’s type, athletic and breezy, you understand—Rex Bretherton. He’s just returned from Panama. He hates society and is a child of nature; honestly, Marjorie. We’re old classmates, and I haven’t seen old Rex In seven years. He plunged into government work around the canal and concessions in the republics, and Cut the old New York crowd dead. Worth half a million and more, too. I think he would like Bet.”

Marjorie ruminated, her gray eyes twinkling f with mischief. “Try him, dear," she* said fervently. “Bet will be here Wednesday.” “By way of New York, and up by boat?” Marjorie nodded, ’trying to follow his thoughts. “I am too busy to meet her Wednesday. I’ll ’phone Rex to help

Stared Indifferently Beyond Him.

me out like a good fellow. Hotfi that?" "Wally, 1 never dreamed that you were a diplomatist,” said Marjorie, gay’y. “Maybe they'll fall in love and elope on the way up." “I shouldn’t be surprised at anything Bet did. Poor old Rex. Don’t you dare give me away. He would never forgive me.” Marjorie laughed, and hurried away to write Betty. I Il was nearly ten when Betty ar« rived at the Grand Central station. She walked swiftly down the platform, looking for her brother-in-law’s roqnd boyish lace to welc6me her. A touch on her arm startled her, just as she was about to start along the concomse. She turned and faced Rexj Bretherton. A change came over hetty instantly, in that brief moment she seemed to grow taller. Anu all unconsciously Rex beamed at her in high approval. Betty’s wide gray eyes, Bet’s heavy chestnut curls. Bet’s girlish air ot splendid vitality and buoyancy, combined with the unmistakable touch of the thoroughbred that clung to her, all swept her overboard on the moment. “You’re Miss Rossmore, aren’t you?” he asked. “1 am sent to meet you in Wally’s place, and see that you get the boat for Neponsett all right. He s rushed to death, add awfully sorry. You won’t mind, though, will you?” She ignored the eagerness in his tone. -“Haven’t you met me before?” she asked pointedly. “I only wish 1 could say yes," ex claimed Rex, bluntly, his eyes betraying all the Interest he felt. Her straight brows drew together perplexedly. “Oh, but- 1 remember you, Mr Bretherton. I never forget faces. remember you perfectly, distinctly, ai though”—slowly, cruelly—“we werci never Introduced.” Rex cheerfully overlooked the. slight, and piloted her out to his wait ing car deftly, But it was a most un eventful run to the pier. From that first moment Bet made ft plainly evl

(lent that her previous Impression of Mr Bretherton absolutely precluded further acquaintance. She was altogether on the defense, almost amusedly so. Rex saw her to her stateroom, and waited for a last sign of relenting. ‘‘Er—Wally’s asked me up for the week-end to his place.” Betty stared Indifferently beyond him at the passing people Ip the cabin. “I’ll come If you won't mind. 1 know you’ll forgive me for saying so, but I’ve been away from human society so long I’m afraid I’ve turned barbarian.” i “Oh, I know that,” flashed back; Betty unsparingly. Rex eyed her anxiously. “What have you got against me?” he demanded bluntly, the color In his face deepening. “I, swear I never saw you before today. Don’t you suppose I would remember you if I had?" “I did not say that you had met me. I said I remembered you.” “But, Miss Betty—” "Good-by,” said Betty distinctly, and vanished into her stateroom. He heard the click of the lock, bit his lip, and went ashore. Then he ’phoned down to Wallace, and they went out to dinner together. Three hours later Betty faced Marjorie out at the pretty home at Neponsett, on the Long Island shore. "But, listen, Ret,” the latter jvas saying. “I know positively that you never saw Rex before in your life. He’s the dearest boy. What have you against him?”

"Just this,” answered Betty tensely. “He is my best girl friend’s divorced husband. And he's a perfect brute. Oh, I knew him In an Instant, Marjorie. His pictures are all over her house, for she loves him yet. And he used to strike her, too; yes, he did. He says that every woman needed the whip at some time or other In her life, and it was her husband’s place to see that she got it. The brute! That’s what he wrote to her, Margie. 1 saw the letter. Of course, he never really hurt her .badly, but I know he slapped her several times. And Isabella’s heart is simply broken. It has ruined her life, and I would gladly thrash him myself.” Marjorie bit Ker lip. “Is that Belle Bretherton who went ’to Castlewood hall with you to school. Bet? I know her. Cat! She did manage somehow to marry poor Al Bretherton. He Is- Rex’s big brother, a dear, shiftless sgrt of an artist person. Wally’s so fond of him. And he does strikingly resemble Rex, only that Rex is younger and fresher looking.” Betty backed up to the dressing table, her eyes wide and scared. Suddenly the ’phone bell rang merrily. Marjorie answered It, smiling wickedly. “It’s Wally, dear,” she said presently. “Mr. Bretherton Is with him. Would it spoil your visit, dear, If we had Rex for a week, too? He’s so forlorn, and he won’t come unless ' you assure him It will not be unpleasant for you.” Betty reached for the receiver Impetuously. “Go away, Wally. This Is Bet. Yes. Give me Mr. Bretherton, please. Oh, hello. Won’t you please forgive me? I —l don't remember you at all. What? Why, no. I shall be delighted to meet you again. Truly. I’m afraid I don’t understand you—” She turned and covered the mouth of the receiver. "Marjorie, he says he will come for a week, ~but he will make love to me all the time and carry me off to Panama In a month’s time, and that he’s completely overboard, and Wally is on his side. Whatever shall I do?” “Throw him a life preserver," laughed Marjorie. Betty’s color flamed to her ear tips. She Ignored the suggestion and almost whispered back intd the 'phone: "You may come if you wish. I—l1 — 1 will be here three weeks.”

FISH BECAME A LAND LUBBER

Trained to Life on Shore, This Herring Fell Into the Water and Was DrownedHenrik Dahl of Aalesund was a reader and follower of Darwin. Wishing to apply his theory of the limit of adaptability of a species to its environment Henrik procured a herring from a fjord and carried it home in a tub of sea water. He renewed the water dally, for some tithe and gradually reduced the quantity, with so little inconvenience to the herring that he concluded that the fish might, in time, learn to breathe air' undiluted with water, like the cat and man. It turned out as he expected, and the water was finally emptied out of the tub, never to be replaced Henrik next removed the fish from its tub and placed it on the ground, where It flopped about very awkwardly at first, but soon learned to move freely and rapidly. In a little while the herring was able to follow its master without difficulty, and then It became his constant companion about the Streets of the city. On a certain unfortunate day Henrik had occasion to cross a dilapidated bridge which spanned an arm of the harbor. The herring, coming gracefully along, heedless of danger, now and again springing at flies, for which it had acquired a great fond ness, missed its footing, slipped through a crack Into the water and was drowned.—Boston Transcript.

WILSON CERTAIN OF NOMINATION

Montana Newspaper Hails Him as the Standard Bearer of the Democratic Party. PROGRESSIVE AND ABLE MAN True Patriot and Morally and Intel* lectually Fit for the High Poel> tlon to Which He Is Reason* ably Sure of Election. Helena (Mont) Independent—The people will name the democratic party’s candidate for the presidency. In the next democratic convention there will be no boss whose voice will be heard above the rallying cry of real popular sovereignty; mere will be no machine which will Interfere with the registering of the people’s wIU. " i From Maine to California, from Minnesota to Texas, the delegatee who will assemble to name the party’s Standard-bearer in the next campaign, will come with but one purpose In view—to restore real democratic government to power in the nation’s capltol. In view of this situation, a situation which is most encouraging to the party, it Is possible now to forecast the result of the democratic convention, and that forecast points unerringly to the nomination of Woodrow Wilson, former president of Princeton university, and governor of New Jersey, for the highest office within th* right of The democratic candidate must be a progressive. Such a man Is Woodrow Wilson, whose record in New Jersey has. stamped him as one of the most progressiva men in public life. The democratic candidate for the presidency must be unafraid and free from all Influence of political bosses. Such a man is Wood row Wilson, who. In his own state, unhorsed a political dictator whose power no one before had shaken. People Have Faith In Him. The democratic candidate for the presidency must be essentially democratic. Such a man Is Woodrow Wilson, whose political ascendency haa been accomplished only by reason of the faith the people have in him, and who will carry Into the high office no secret bargains with those who manipulate politics for private gain. The democratic candidate must be morally and intellectually fit for the place. Such a man is Woodrow Wilson, whose training enables him to give to the great problems of the day an integrity above question and a mental capacity and a knowledge of public affairs which has probably not been excelled in an executive officer since the days of Jefferson.

In Woodrow Wilson, there is ample evidence of America’s ability to develop in each crisis In the nation’s affairs a man who is equal to the emergencies of his time. Washington appeared on the scene, when the diesatisfied colonies needed a strong min and a military genius to lead them to national Independence. Jefferson cams when the new democracy needed a man to take the reins of the government from the hands of an embryo nobility and restore it to the people. Jackson came when the money power first asserted itself in the control of the American government. Lincoln came when the union wks about to break upon the rocks of domestic strife.

The Man for the Occasion, And now, when greater problem a than those which confronted Waahington and Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln demand courage and ability of. almost superhuman character; when from the length and breadth of the land there goes up, as In 1860, the prayer, "God give us a man,” when plutocracy is enthroned In high places and when the life blood of the country Is being sucked by the vampire of big business; when greed and avarice have been substituted for patriotism and justice; when sporadic and halfhearted attempts to right existing wrongs only aggravate them; when the nation demands again the genius of a Washington, the faith In the people of a Jefferson, the courage of a Jackson and the sublime patriotism of a Lincoln —at such a time as this It is like watching the hand of a beseflcent destiny to see.. Woodrow Wilson loom large on the scene of national politics. Not only the Democratic party, but the nation, too, is blessed that such a man is available for the presidency..

Let George Do It.

Governor Woodrow Wilson bf New Jersey, while campaigning strenuously In the Interests of the Democratic candidates, came to a small hostelry in Susex County, in the northern section of the State. The waiter handed the presidential possibility the menu card, but the Governor, tired from the day’s campaigning, pushed It away and said: “Stow George, I don’t want to bother with that. Take it away and go out and get me a good dinner; Get the best you have. That’s all.” “ The waiter brought in the dinner which the Governor ate. As he was leaving the dining room the waiter said: “Mistah Wilson, if any o’ you’ friends from down at Princeton what can’t read neither comes up this way you jest send ’em to George an’ I’ll take care o’ ’em q.ll right.” .
