FELICIA

By Lulu Loretta Baker

Felicia was in the kitchen, reading and looking after some mush alternately. Corn mush and a French classic are somewhat divergent, but Felicia was a riddle, anyway. And she did not heave a sigh as she left the scenes of the book, and sat down to her solitary supper. “I’m as hungry as a bear," she said, half aloud. “So am I. Don’t be frightened," said a voice at the open window. And, being a riddle, she didn’t scream, though no door about the house was closed, and It was dusk. “I’m alone.” Her voice was steady, though her blood was pounding her veins. “There isn’t even a dog here; so if you wish to come in you will have no trouble.” She was even sarcastic. She filled a tumbler with milk from a pitcher at her right, while he came around to the door. “You’re brave,” he said. She did not look up. “I’m very hospitable as well. Don’t hesitate a moment.” , He sat opposite her, eydlng with real hunger the steaming mush pushed over te him. He bent his head, as if ashamed, and ate eagerly. She looked at him steadily for the first time.

An awful fear, greater, but different from any fear of molestation, clutched at her. Unconsciously she moved forward, her gaze so piercing that Involuntarily the man’s intellecual eyes fastened upon her as if hypnotized. They stared at each other silently for several seconds, the self-possessed slender girl and the wide-eyed man. “Do you think such method as this of obtaining data is entirely laudable? Some people are easily frightened.” Her eyes still on his, and coldly. » He Jumped from his chair, overthrowing his glass, searching her face. “Who are you?" “Felicia Thrawley." “You are not!" rudely. “Felicia’s hair was brown; yours Is almost white, and It is only six years. You can’t be." “Indeed!” Was her only rejoinder. The man’s fingers trembled. He tried to say something, but could not, and shame overwhelmed him at thought of the great work he had neglected, becoming In the last two years next to a vagrant In reality, instead of posing as one to study the conditions of his country. And Felicia! Felicia,the clever, the girl whom he used to ; imagine loved him at times; then as he sought her out, eluded him, seemed . to hate him. "How did you come here?” he managed to say finally. “I live here. I’m living the simple life,” she laughed a little, “hunting eggs, wading In the creek, cooking when I like, and incidentally filling a small post as critic.” She named a well-known publication. He Interrupted her with a cry of gladness for her strong, ambitious womanhood. And seized by impulse he did not try to fathom, he confessed his neglect of the university’s expectations of him, him whose chair there was as yet filled only temporarily while he, the master at economics and sociology, was tramping the world for actual knowledge of its conditions. And he had come to love the life so that be had deceffved the trustees, bis friendti and newspaperdom, reveling in the gypsy's love of woods and hills and flower-tangled paths, though they thought him still diligent In the work ho sot ont to do.

"Wasn’t it, isn’t it glorious?” Felicia was radiant, the ever-charming Felicia. “What?" he said, dully, as a child who expects to be scolded. “Why, to be half a pagan, forgetting universities, dusty books and problems—” “You don’t hate me for stopping—” “To live awhile?” she finished scornfully. “No, I've done as near the same as I could, being a woman. Chloe and Sambo are here with me, delayed In the fields to-night. Father Is dead, you know,” she added with her face paling. “And I couldn’t bear to stay in the town any longer.” “You are alone—” “Except Reindeer; he Is in the stable.” She smiled, though her eyes were downcast, her mouth sad. “May I stay, then? Felicia, love, you know I would never have stayed away so long If your caprice had not been so puzzling. I was afraid of you, Felicia!” He had come around to her chair and was bending his luxuriant-ly-covered head against the silvered satin of her hair which fell like a halo around her young face. She trembled; she who was sarcastic, self-possessed, radiant, and said in quick succession: “This is a grand old place; all the hills and trees and tangled woods such gypsies as you and I shall need. And the university, which awaits you, Is not far away.” She pushed back his careless hair and hid her face against his throat. After a time they rose and went down the road, In the moonlight, to meet their darkles.

Fodol for dyspepsia has helped thousands of people who have had stomach trouble. This Is what -aa? man says of It: “E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago, 111., Gentlemen — In 1897 I had a disease of the stomach and bowles. I could not digest anything I ate and in the spring of 1902 I bought a bottle of Kodol and the benefit I received from that bottle all the gold In Georgia could not buy. I still use a little occasionally as I find It a fine blood purifier and a good tonic. May you live long and prosper. Yours very truly, C. N. Cornell, Roding, Ga., Aug. 27, 1906.” It Is hard to credit the truth the way some people tell IL
