THE UNROMANTIC MR. DALE 9 By HAYDEN T. PRICE a (. 1320. by McClure Newipaptr Syndicate.) Marjorie Hogers had looked forward ever since February to Dale's visit a: Eastertlme. Dale was her brother's roommate at college. Brother Harry had "raved" about the great Dale In letters and on his visits home. He was one of the "big" men of the class, Harry claimed. And Marjorie's married sister, Alice, had met Dale on the occasion of her visit as chaperon at the Junior Hop In February. Alice, like brother Harry, returned to praise the charm and clever, sparkling personality of Dale. Marjorie, Just turning eighteen, had heard so much about Dale that her girlish Imagination had seized upon him as a subject for day-dreams. And when, in March, Harry had sent a copy of his Class Annual, the first thing Marjorie did was to look up Dale's picture among the seniors. A humorous descriptive sketch accompanied each senior's picture, and the sketch describing Dale pictured him as a young man too serious in his work to recognize the existence of the fair sex. It was not that Dale was unimaginative or a woman-hater. It was almost worse than that, thought Marjorie, for a woman-hater at least recognizes the existence or women and romance, but the serious Mr. Dale was so busy that he was indifferent, chillingly Indifferent, to girls, moonlight on lakes, porch swings fortwo on summer nights, and all other trappings and accessories of romance. Marjorie's heart sank a little as she read this disquieting description of Dale. What chances would she have wlrh such a man, even though he was going to spend a week at her home as her brother's guest a week In the spring of the year? That afternoon Brother Harry and Dale were to arrive for the Easter vacation.. Marjorie lived in a state of suppressed excitement all day and felt that 5 o'clock would never come. At 4 the telephone rang and Marjorie answered. - Her eighteen-year-old heart nearly stopped when a voice, announced as the property of Jerry Dale, conveyed the news that the boys had missed a train connection and wouldn't be home untl 7. "I wonder If he heardmy heart Seating," said Marjorie to herself as she hung up. This delay in the arrival of the young men hardly made her more patient. As a relief from her restlessness Marjorie went to the station to meet their train. When the train pulled In her heart was beating as only a girl's heart can heat under the urge of a star worship. What would he look like? AVould he think her attractive? She was vaguely subconscious of the fact that other young men thought her attractive, but of what use was that if the great Dale didn't think so? "There's Madge I" cried her brother, as the train came to a stop. In a momojU she was being bear-hugged by Harry. "Why, what's the matter with your voice, Harry?" "Nothing much just a cold, but I ain't speak above a whisper. That's why Jerry had to do the telephoning when we missed our train." Thon came the big moment, "Madge, this is Mr. Dale Jerry Dale." Madge on the way home re-llved that moment when her hand rested In his. She liked to recall that there was nothing perfunctory in his handclasp. He had seemed to hold her hand rather tightly. But probably, she thought, she was mistaken. Probably the wish was father to the thought with her. She drove the car back from the station and between her busy thoughts and her eagerness to catch Dale's voice her driving would have caused worry to the founders of the Safety First movement. They drew up before the house and Marjorie's little heaven was nearly complete when Jerry Dale helped her from the ear. She began to wonder If Mr. Dale hail changed suddenly since his classmates had described him as being "too serious for romance." But her happiness was short-lived. On account of their late arrival, and because of his inability to be heard over the telephone. Harry her own brother asked her to call up Ethel Marbridge and tell that young lady that he and Mr. Dale would be over to call on her that evening. Now it so happened that of all the young ladies in the little town Kthel Marbridge found least favor In Marjorie's eyes. But how could a brother remember a detail like that? And how could her brother know that Dale meant so much In her life and thoughts? So she bit her Up and went to the telephone. She was sure she hated her brother in that moment. Marjorie called up Miss Marbridge and as casually as possible -delivered the message. In her heart she felt certain that Ahe had caught a little malicious laugh of triumph In Ethel Marbridge's voice, and felt certain that Kthel was enjoying her discomfiture. The day was spoiled for Marjorie .von the Easter week was a dismal failure. She began to blame herself. After all It was rather presumptuous to have hoped that she might mean anything to Mr. Dale. She remembered with chagrin her Ciiiiious exaltation of spirits when she

thought Dale had held her hand at the station with something of significance In his clasp. Tears came Into her eyes at the thought. That evening Dale and her brother called on Ethel MaTbrldge and It was 10 o'clock the next morning when Marjorie saw them again. "Madge," said Brother Harry in a husky whisper, "you'll have to act as our social secretary. My throat won't permit me to do any telephoning, so Til have to ask you again to call up Ethel Marbridge and tell her we'll be over about 2 o'clock this afternoon." Dale was sitting in the room, smoking and reading the morning paper. For a moment Marjorie tried to contain herself. She was vaguely conscious of wanting to avoid showing what a little temper she had when aroused. But restraint went flying at this second instance of brotherly blindness. 'Til not do anything of the sort, Harry. I'm sorry, but well, I don't like Ethel Marbridge and I'll not telephone to her." She forgot for an angered instant Dale's presence in the room and went on: "I won't give that girl a chance to laugh at me. I'm sure she knows how I've been looking forward to Mr. Dale's " Her sentence went unfinished. With a quick glance at Dale and a little cry of confusion she rushed from the room in tt?ars. "Well, I'll be hanged," remarked Brother Harry, stunned. "I never saw her act like that before. I always thought she was a blushing violet. Alice," he said to his older sister, who had just entered, "what's the matter with Madge? I just asked her to phone to Ethel Marbridge, and she flatly refused. Flew Into a rage and said something, to the accompaniment of flashing eyes, about having looked forward to Jerry's visit. Con It be that . By George, I'll bet that's It V "Of course that's it," said the shrewd and observant Alice. "Only a blind and stupid brother would have failed to notice it. Why, she's been mooning over Mr. Dale's picture ever since the annual 'came." "Excuse me, please," said Jerry, rising, "I have to go up to my room for something." But Dale did iot reach his room. On the way to his room he had to pass a little alcove on the second floor, and from that alcove he heard sounds of Crying. He knew It was Marjorie. He hesitated a moment and then went In. "Don't cry, please, Marjorie," said Jerry. He felt a great desire to comfort her. However, Jerry had had very little experience with girl psychology, so his resolution went to bits when at his first words of attempted comfort Marjorie turned on him, eyes blazing, and all humiliated at the remembrance of her half-uttered confession of what Dale meant to her. "Please leave me. I'm crying about something else," said Marjorie In a denial that was the best confession. "I don't care what you're crying about," said Jerry. "Don't cry at all. I I don't like to see you cry." "I guess I can cry if I want to. Please let me pass. I want to telephone to Miss Marbridge." To the uninitiated Jerry this exhibition of perverse feminine psychology was a puzzler. Hadn't her protests to Brother Harry meant anything? Why had she refused to telephone in the first nlace? Girls werejfunny and variable, thought Jerry Dale Marjorie brushed past him and started for the telephone at the other end of the hall. She had given the number when Jerry, still remonstrating, reached her side. His pleadings were of no avail. Marjorie was bent on telephoning, cost what It would to her heart. She was sure she hated Dale as much as she hated her brother and the world in general that fine April morning. What right had Dale to overhear her Impulsive revelation of his significance in her thoughts! "Hello! Is this Ethel Marbridge ?" asked Marjorie in her sweetest voice. "This is Marjorie Brown." She was on the point of delivering her brother's message when a strong hand was placed over her lips and another took the receiver away from her ear. She was held' in Jerry's arm away from the telephone. "Hello," said Jerry Into the transmitter. "Tliis Is Mr. Dale. We asked Marjorie to call your number for us. Harry can't whisper over the 'phone so he wants me to tell you that we can't come over this afternoon. Sorry." There were a few perfunctory remarks and Jerry hung up. "Now, Marjorie, do you understand why I'm not going over to Miss Marbridge's this afternoon? Because I'd rather spend the afternoon with you. Madge, look!" He took from his pocket a little photograph of Madge. "I've carried this in my pocket for months. Harry missed It from his dresser, but he never guessed that his roommate had appropriated the picture of his pretty sister. We can tell him now. And we can tell him that I I like you very much, Madge!" Marjorie was having a hard time making her lips stop their trembling happy, tearful trembling. Was it really true? It must be, for she was looking Into Jerry's glistening eyes. "Let's go into the alcove," said Marjorie, Jealous of these happy moments. And In the alcove they came to a very happy understanding. When finally they came, out. In response to Harry's repeated calls for Jerry, Madge, after a mad. glad embrace, said: MAn.d you can tell that thoughtless, blind, brutal brother o' mine that I I like you very much, Mr. Jerry Dale."

After It was established she paid the school a visit and ventured to question one of the kindergarten classes. "Now, children,"" she said, "tell me what sort of clothes the puppy wears." No reply. "Come, now," she repeated, determined to extract the right answer by naming everything that a dog didn't wear, "does he wear feathers?" A pained expression crossed the face of a little boy In the front row. "Please, ma'am," he said, pityingly, "ain't yoii never seen a dog?" A KICK.

Scully in the Atlantic Monthly, why more baboons are not trained as shepherds. The creatures Invariably develop an absorbing affection for any young animals, human or other, that are placed In their charge, and thero Is a well-authenticated Instance of a baboon taking charge of a motherless Kafir Infant, and guarding It night and day for more than two years. The simian foster pr.rcnt performed evtry necessary function except feeding the child. Several baboons have been trained as shepherds. In. a case that Mr. Scully himself observed the baboon had charge of several hundred sheep. He became passionately attached to tho members of the flock, and remained with them all day long at pasture and brought them back to the corral In the evening. His only fault as shepherd was the outcome of extreme solicitude; if he heard the voices of wild baboons fn the distance at any time of the day, he would at once collect the sheep, and with every appearance of the liveliest terror hurry them home, - : Slipping Up on Her.
