? «* Love and Alice May I ! By JESSIE DOUGLAS $------------------- ... - ..n (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Alice saw him coming down the platform toward her. She would have i known him anywhere, the way he car- । ried his dark head, the humorous glint । in his brown eyes, the sudden smile | that showed his very wldte teeth. She wondered whether she could । avoid him. ‘Why, Alice May! I haven’t seen you for a blue moon !” he cried, drop* | ^ing his bag and taking her little ' gloved hand in his. “A blue moon four years old,” she j answered. Then she could have bitten out her tongue for admitting It. “W hat are you doing here?” Billy Kogers asked with that engaging way of his. “I live here now.’’ “Oh, yes. You're married, of course?" “Yes,” she answered. Crimson swept over her cheeks. In that moment she had covered ’ over all the hurt of four years of remembrance with a “yes.” Somehow she could not have Billy pity her. have i him think that she still remembered. “And how is your wife?” Alice May asked. । • “Oh, very well,” Billy answered abruptly. He turned to her with his old eager way. “I want to hear all about you. I’ve got to wait here for twn hours for the next train. You couldn’t —you wouldn't —that is. Would you have tea with me 3” “My—my husband Is very brondi minded, but what about your wife?" - Alice asked quickly. “Oh, my wife’s heard all about you. She’d be glad.” he answered. They walked up the main street toi gether, Alice hot and cold in turns nt . the monstrosity of the lie she had told. I And yet at the moment it had seemed the only way to save her pride, the । only way to be on equal terms with I Billy again. For she wanted to hoar about him. what he did, what he thought, what 'he felt. Surely it would be no dlsloy--1 alty tn the woman Billy loved —his wife—to spend just two hours with him on their old terms of comradashlp ■ and understanding. Alice looked up at him shyly. How good he was to look nt ! She liked-the seriousness of those brown eyes, the I clean-cut mouth, the brown cheeks. I even the way bis hair grew. He smiled down at her suddenly. । “Where are you taking me, Alice Muy?" “Here,” she said. “Here" was a ten shop with crispy i fresh dotted swiss curtains nt the wln- ! dow. and once they had pushed open • the door Billy cried, "How jolly!" It had a wide, white fireplace with j shining andirons, oval rag rugs, a I spinning wheel nnd round tables with ' n pot o. primroses or wild violets ceni tering each. They chose a fable by the window, and Alice watched Billy shrug out of I his coat with that old familiar gesture i and fling himself down In the settle ; beside her. “I believe.’’ he said with flint glint ■ of humor in his eyes, “that you brought me here because you knew how becoming It was to you !" It was becoming to Alice. The neu-tral-colored walls, the pleasant oldtime furniture, seemed to be her background. She was not exactly pretty, but something more than pretty. "Alice May,” Billy said thoughtfully, when their tea and crumpets and marmalade had been brought and Alice poured with that dainTv precision of hers. "I want to know all about that house of yours nnd those chubbycheeked children!” She blushed again. “Yes, two lumps; how did you remember? 1 know you have sunny rooms and that flowered stuff beside i the windows —and a piano overflowing ; with music and flowers everywhere—now. haven’t you? And two rosy youngsters in what-do-you-call-’ems!” “I’ll tell you all about that.” she said quicker, “but first I want to know all about you! How's your work and — | and your wife?" “Oli, my work?" his eyes lighted up. ! “I’m going down to Mexico shortly, i Think of it, Alice May—the adventure ' —putting a new bridge across the ; wilderness. A company’s sending me I down there, but it’s at my own risk. । Tin keen about it—” he stopped. “There. I’m boring you to death.” “And your wife?’’ Alice persisted. He stirred Ids tea absently and forgot to drink it. Alice knew all at once that he wasn’t happy, that this woman who had married him was not the woman for him. She hated her in that moment. She thought suddenly of her frlend-

l snip and Billy’s. They had walked • and skated, danced and teased each । other. They had exchanged books and | opinions; Alice had made chafing-dish i suppers and Billy had brought her rib- [ bon-looped boxes of candies. Yet i strangely enough they had never । verged on love making. Alice knew she could never forget i as long as she lived—the night Billy ! had told her he was being sent to Alaska. “Think of the adventure of it, Alice May !” But she had only thought of the loneliness of it. She had smiled to him bravely enough, told him how glad she was—until she had seen bis train pull out of the station. And his letters that had began so lengthy had finally ‘ stopped altogether. And —then she had ’ heard he was married. “What are you thinking of, Alice May?” Billy asked, breaking into her thoughts. “I am thinking," said Alice softly, “that if you're going to get that train you'd better begin to go fbr it!” “And you haven’t told me about your husband and those two kids?” he said a little wistfully. "WoLhl you really like to know?” she asked. “I’d like to know anything about you." he answered. His voice sent her heart beat hurrying. She stood up and gathered up her gloves. The waitress, coming to look for her tip. observed with gratification that tlie tip was large—and the ; crumpets untouched. There wasn't any use of pretending ' any longer. Alice realized how weak ’ she had been to come with him. She loved him still, she always would, nnd > now she would have to begin all over I again—so put him out of her thoughts. “Hello, Miss Hill,” a little girl called as they came out of the tearoom, “did I pass m.v zamlnatlon in geography?” । “I'll tell you Monday," Alice Hill I answered. A furious crimson swept over her white cheeks. Billy Rogers stopped still. "Whnt does she mean? Why did she call you Miss Hill? Are you still j teaching?” “Yes, I am teaching. And I'm not marrieii. And I never will be —” her voice caught in a Httio rob—“nnd now will you let me go. Billy Rogers?" He caught her hand and tucked It fntn bls arm nnd his voice was something she could never forget. “Let you go now that I've found you again? Do you think I'm crazy, Alice May Hill? I'm going to take you off with me now—to Mexico. We'll be married this afternoon by the little preacher in the town where we used to live—" Alice tried so draw her nnn nway. “But—your wife?" she whispered. “M.v wife ami your husband belong tn the same boat. They were both made ip on the spur of the moment — I nt least my wife was.” , "But are you sure," Alice persisted, ■ “that you want me?” “Ami why, if 1 didn't, did I stop off at Hilly Center on my way to Mexico?" But, nfter all, it wasn’t his words that silenced her, but the kiss he gave her behind the dreary waiting room, when she forgot everything but that she loved him, too. Prodigals. William 11.

Journal prints the following: “A Swede in Minnesota took out a membership in the Farm bureau. About three months afterwards the Department of Agriculture at Washington received a letter from him: “I ban sign up for a farm bureau. Not received it as yet.
