After dinner. In Arthur Johnson's
"smoke-house" the two cronies eat:
Major Tom Bob Hart bachelor. ex-Bol-
idler and relic of romance; his com-
panion Arthur Johnson little more
than half the age of the major.
Toward the end of a specially good
cigar the major had sat for some min-
utes "lost to the world" apnaeut!y
"Major I'll bet n hor?& that you are
thinking this minute of some prehis-
toric love affair. Ah! you sly old pl-
.rate!"
"Arthur boy you liko me don't
jyour queried the major In a voice
i full of isthjs and touched with solid-
;tude. "Who does not major that knows
you?"
"Well I'm glad of that. You aro
Just the kind of .a friend I like to have j
You are fond of me without having
-any very good reason for it. J
"In this way you remind me of a
sweetheart I had once got her yet
aa to th-t. But her husband and I are
friends.
f "Often she and I call each other
:'Honey' which is a common expres-
sion of friendly affection In the South I
where we both came from. j
! "Now It may seem funny to you but '
that little woman doesn't know that I
am homely." I
"Is she blind? the younger man
promptly and bluntly asked.
"Of course she's blind. Blind as a
bat and yet her eyes are as good as
anybody's. She Is simply a living ex-
emplification of the trite old saying
that love Is blind.
1 "I'll tell you Just how It was and
I'll test your credulity right at the
start. Make you smile too.
i "I was a handsome boy.
i "Gee! but you do laugh don't you?
And yet I had tried to prepare you for
it. Well I was handsome. That sweet-
heart of mine and I grew up to love
each other Jufct naturally and in fact
we didn't know It until too late
j "When the war camo I went. Be-
fore the storm of patriotism was over
a great big man who was not nearly
so practically patriotic or idiotic as
I was came along there and told my
sweetheart things that I had not
thought to tell her. Moreover he was
accumulating gold while I was not
gathering anything more substantial
than glory but I was fairly windrow-
ing that It has melted like the snow
forts of boyhood.
i "Those who had the direction of her
ways directed her toward him and he
gathered her in. He has her yet.
"After the storm went down strange
as it may seem tljere was no calm for
me perhaps there was too much
calm.
"At first I frequently saw my old
sweetheart then came long spells
when I didn't see her at all. At last
it dawned upon my opaque heart find
brain that I was in lovo with that lit-
itle woman and always had been.
ISometlmes I thought I would try to
steal he. But I thought bettor of it.
land she Heaven bless her! wouldn't
'have thought of it at all.
I "1 did the next worst thing how-
'evar. I told her that I loved nor al-
Iways had and always would. To my
.'utter astonishment dismay and hap-
jplness thereby perplexing me more
than ever she confessed that she had
loved me In the old days and but
she loves her husband.
"The other day I was telling her that
she was the only woman I had ever
loved and that she was always a
pearl. She said:
" 'You're a dear old fellow but you
must not talk that way."
'"Oh! That's all right' I said. 'I
am old and homely enough to bo a
privileged charactor."
"She loaned over her elbows on
the marble between tis hands to her
face and looked searchingly and in-
quiringly into my eyes. Then as if
deeply bewildered and amaied she
said:
'"N-o-o! Aro you homely Honey?'
" 'Yes. indeed picturesquely homely.
Don't you see that I am oW and wrin-
kled and bald and stooping and larce
and querulous and fidgety and '

cheering village girls in rassing. The
gleam of that blade has always kept
!you and your eyes before me.'

loyal Irish-American citizen of Chick-

The garages have shown following a
careful canvass by the autoists so the

mayor will probably consent for any
old kind of a tail-end protector to be
i used until the garages receive a supply
of the proper hue. One auto owner
