The letter says, I Deeps and Shallows Here‘s how it happened. One day last month I was pickâ€" ing corn on the south twenty. The adjoining farm on the west changed hands last spring, and it just happened I‘d never seen the new owner, although I‘d heard a lot about him. A bachelor, I‘d gathered, and more or less suscepâ€" tible to the ladies. At last it has happenedâ€"the thing I‘ve waited for so long. This, my friend, is it! I‘m in love â€"in love with the most. fascinatâ€" ing, the most delightfulâ€"the most everythingâ€"in short the MOST MAN in the whole wide world! He‘s tall, dark and handsome, and for all their mischievous twinkle, his eyes hold the deep, intense blue ofâ€"a still lake on a summer It was a beautiful day to be glad in, and, thinking myself aâ€" lone, I started to sing. A cathedral sparrow perched on the top of a! chokeâ€"cherry bush in the nearâ€"by hedge, adding grace notes here and there, as though it, too, were in love with life. I was enjoying myself thoroughly. Can This Be True? Farmerette Now Carries A Torch (At hand is a letter from E. B., just as oftep k,o'n as Fu-of-. day. Presently from the adjoining field came a clear tenor voice singing "Rosie O‘Grady." I stopâ€" ped short, annoyed at this intruâ€" sion upon my mood. The friendly sparrow flew away. I worked on silently. The moment was spoiled. The tall corn screened the view, but in the still air every sound was audible. The salute to Rosie ended and the tenor took up the strains of â€" Highland _ Laddieâ€"only . it sounded like "Lassie." He was evidently serenading his many girl friends. How silly. Soon I became aware that évery time an ear of corn hit the floor of my cart there was a deliberâ€" ate "ping‘" from the cart in the next field. I threw two ears of corn, experimentally. From the adâ€" joining field, like a Jack Benny echo, came two distinct "pings." I threw three ears in rapid sucâ€" cession. "Ping, ping, ping." One ear. One "ping." There was no doubt about itâ€"this veâ€"ry funny man was flirting with me in the most corny fashion. The farmer from Chi cast his vote; Of his ballot‘s blank spaces took “') 3 n & This made the voteâ€"counters beâ€" And here‘s what they said : "That guy should drop deadâ€" Some folks are just too, too naive!* By this time I‘d reached the diâ€" viding fence. Approaching from the west came the strains of "Anâ€" nie Laurie," then "Sweet Adeâ€" line," although it sounded to me more like "Sweet Adelaide." I waited until the sounds indicated he had nearly reached the fence, then I stepped out, determined to trim this cornâ€"fed Casanova down to his proper size. I was met by a jolly, yodel of "Marâ€"meâ€"oâ€"laâ€"a dee!" And stepping into the open he vaulted to my side of the hedge and saluted me impudently : "Hiâ€"yah, romantic Bug Lady!" « Well! Outraged by this crude behavior I replied icily: "Good morning!" His grin brought sunâ€"bronzed wrinkles to his tanned cheeks, "E. B. does stand for Elder Bug, I presume?" Man from Chi.) His attention he gave, And then, postage to save, A letter to Sants he wrote! lieve He was laughing at them in his I opened my mouth to reply when _ suddenly _ comprehension dawned upon me. "Marmalade . . . Elder Bug . . . Highland Lassie. . . Sweet Adelaide (Wright) . . â€" Annie (A. Bee) Laurie . . . Rosie O‘Grady?"â€"Why, RB.0., of course! Shades of Deeps and Shallows! "Yep!" he admitted, grinning still more broadly. ‘"‘That‘s rightâ€" I‘m that YOUNG FARMER FROM CHIP "Good Gracious!" I exclaimed, shaken out of my poise. ‘"Youâ€" ,o m‘,. #» Bake And Apron Sale On Saturday, December 4, The ‘Tabernacle Guild of the Immacuâ€" late Conception Church will hold its annual Bake and Apron Sale in the Parish Clubrooms.
