It gave her pain to see one of her tfirla
come Imck the wife of a divorced man.
MI'M. l.urdctte lilted her Hue. white
crowned head:
"You're like me. MIh* I'erclvnl. 1
nuppo*o KHziilioth had too much char-
neter to pi anainst all the principle*
Mlie was raised hy. Hut this Is what
comes of living in a big city."
In the lo" celled, carpctless club-
room, where the youth of the town
gathered, Mrs. Kluhlc's name Hashed
to and fro like a billiard hall.
.Ih'mcs Ingramcs. a man of the world,
having .lust returned front his yearly
cotton tour through the Georgia towns,
observed:
'That aunt of I.lss'a did 11 good trick
by her. trottiug her over the world and
stiov lug her ou to the New York mar-
ket." When he had chalked his cue
carefully, tie added: "1 didn't suppose
our little,"everyday l.i?1. had It iu her to
gc4 to be a swell, for all she used to he
such a sharp little piece. 1 see her
name in the New York papers."
\ <bort. siiiiar.^ youth who was seat*
«•<> n.\ lliv window leaned forward.
"Dili you know, .lliumy, tlint her
'husband Is a divorced man?"
"Listen to Kufus!" Jeered the other
"Why. jcs. Kufus: Clarence Kltchie's
* jrreut gun; his life's common prop
«'i*ty. Don't yon read, man'.'" Pres-
ently Jimmy, skirmishing the halls
over the billiard table, added:
"I'ooh! That's nothing, a woman
marrying a divorced man. What's lhe
matter with that, eh? Hut this town's
dead slow."
The youth hy the window shifted his
feet, where thc\ were propped upon
the sill.
'it's to lie expected of you. Jimmy,
that yon would pick up everybody's
notions as you go traveling about, hut
1 expected better of Klizahcth."
"Yi s," said Jimmy, pleased oy this
allusion to himself, "she's a sensible
woman, a very sensible woman. I ad
mire people who get on in the world.
Her husband's a famous man. She
married him after lie got a good, legal
• iivorve, and now she's a great Dig
swell. And yet I understand," added
Jimmy patronizingly, "the good people
■round here don't hardly want to
MjM-ak to her."
Kufus turtieo round and dropped his
fii< iu their heavy heeled shoes to tli
floor.
"She's not the woman 1 thought she
was. If she has the whole world at
her heels, she's severed herself with
ane." |
Jimmy griuned across the table at
The si|u:ire figure In Its suit of checks.
The next day, when llufus chanced
tD observe Klizahcth Itltchle cotult:^
toward him on the opposite sidewalk,
lie looked at the fence palings. Hear
■ng tier feet patting on the hard clay
nnd the swish of her skiits, he carried
hi* cam? consciously It was a stout
orange wood cane, with a small alll-
cator ou the handle, which his uncle
hud brought him from Florida. She
rotild see It from where she walked
*ud remembered it. She had a love for
<vid little things and hnd always ad
mired tin' alligator. Suddenly the pat-
ting and the swishing ceased. She
• ■ailed Ills tlrst name familiarly, step
ping off the sidewalk and holding out
toer hand He went across slowly and
look It. She looked him up and down
9ml stulled at his face.
"Old friends are rare to meet," said
the airily dressed woman.
Kufus shoved a tendency to move
on. tint she held his hand until she
■brought him to a standstill: then she
ntood away from him, tilting her par-
asol ^"niitt. Its lace rnfllen rippled be-
hind her pink and white face: her dark
blue eyes shone through tier tine \> iI;
the ribbons on b r dress and the silk
Mutinies of her s|, -t were lifted and
rustled by the hn-cce; her French shoos
and silk stockings showed themselves
and wore gone with the movement of
lhe t! ounce Thi whole costume seem-
ed to emu with every breath the faint
neeiit of cedar or sandalwood
" ""II." he said, looking her all over
* t shm laugh "so this Is yotiT
You aiwaya were ambitious for auch
things."
She stood tilling «ud smiling.
"Now you're got lheui, I suppose
you're sal lulled "
She w ithdrew her glance, which was
becoming u little musing, from ins face
to her skills, and it lighted up
"Yes," she said fervently: "planning
dresses, wearing them, making an tin-
picsslou iu ilu'in." She broke off with
a laugh. Slic twirled her parasol.
"When you look 111 me like that," olie
gilded, "what ar« you thinking?"
•i am thinking that I used to know
you "
1 am beginning to think that I never
I:new you or any of you until now
Her eye* Oasiitsl and then roved away.
"Look. Kufus. I can see lhe lops of
Mrs. Hall's sparkleherry trees. Dou't
you remember how we used to climb
them when we went 10 piny with Se-
rena Hail? Sometimes." she said,
"when I mil sitting at my w.ndow look
lug out at I lie horses and people I can
see In my mind's eye the Halls' wood
yard and those spurklcbcrrj trees. The
leaves were so shining, and the berries
were such big ones."
"Yon had a lot of fancy notions then.
I used 10 call you Lady KlUabeih,"
said llufus. more genially.
"Why." slo' asked 111 once, "did you
let me sihv here three weeks without
COUllllK to see me?"
Kufus smiled as if the question pleas-
ed him. and his square ttguie settled.
"Have many of your old friends been
i'c you?"
"Wh>. Miss Perelvnl cittne -and—and
one or two othera." she said, glancing
away.
•Miss Perelvnl told my mother that
she thought Ii was her duly The
opinions of the world and the opinions
of Little Kiitain don't agree about
yon." Kufus leaned easily agnlust his
stick "You took the worldly road
when you left here, and the world ad-
mires its own. but the people you were
born ami raised with have to disown
you."
She looked from Kusfus' tlrm cheek
pi I face up at the sky, around at the
trees and up and down the empty,
weed grown street w ith the glance of a
restless bird Then she nodded her
bend at Kufus.
"It Is a very easy thing to be single
minded here in Little Hi Haiti. Who
would suppose, to see the cows grazing
around, that—oh, a lot of things. Take
ni.i word. Kufus. the world Is compli-
cated. You ma\ lie right, or 1 may be
rlg'it, or we may both be wrong. At
any rate," she said earnestly, "credit
me with trying to do right, and meet
me on that ground."
Kufus did not move, thougl she part-
ly In Id out her hand.
"That's a loose way." ho "aid. "A
thing's light or it's wrong Vile re isn't
any use talking between."
"1 took pleasure In the thought of
coming home, but nobody wants to
ace uu\" said Mrs. Ritchie suddenly
"Please, Ki.f..>, let me keep oik- friend.
1 do care."
llufus leaned easily against Lis cane
again.
"It would have been better for you.
Elizabeth." he said consideringly, "if
you had staid at home."
"Well. I doni think maybe srv Just
shake hands 1 want to shake hands
like old friends "
"That's just like you.
after a pause, "trying to
pie Into what you want
Mrs. Ritchie looked at his settled
ure and important face until her
changed from wistful to musing
011 to comical.
' You've p>t to be an old man."
"There's no moving you.

"No Invention of modern times so
titled the proverbial long felt want as
did tiie folding bed." said the head of
the model rooms in the paleut otHee In
Washington.
Tlie particular model to which he re-
ferred was n crude form of a collapsi-
ble bedstead Hut that rude bed cut in
sections and hinged so that it mi^ht
fold into compact form contained the
germ of an idea, and to that is owed
the useful rah net folding bed .if today.
The inventor of the folding bed wa*
one .lames A. Johnston, a western man.
to whom patent No. l",'_'M was grunted
ou May 1-, lsr>T. No provision was
made is the bed for storing of the mat-
tress, pillow s and bedclothes, as is
common iu thr folding bed of today;
also, unlike the modern contrivance,
which when folded resembles a bureau,
chiffonier or other similar piece of fur-
ulture, tin- folding lied patented by
Johnston made no pretense of looking
like anything other than Just what It
was
A company manufactured the John-
ston pateut. and It had ijulle a vogue In
its day. IJttle by little ImprovHinents
were made on the bed and w ithin the
past scon of years the piece of furnl
ture known today was evolved, and
there art- several hundreds of varieties
