AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALAAA LOVE AND TiE LOCKSMITHS. By MARTHA COBB SANFORD. AAAAARAAAAAAAAA \AAAAAAAAAAAAAS Copyrighted, 1907, by M. M. Cunningham. YY TrYYYTYYYYYY Agatha, lifting her skirts daintily, tripped around the corper from the fashionable avenue where she lived to the dingy little side street, with its miniature shops and pretentious signs. Yes, it still hung there between a cigar shop and a secondhand store--a mammoth yellow key. She had seen It many a time. That must mean a locksmith, and a locksmith was for her at that cructal moment most essen- tial, for Agatha had locked herself out. But the locksmith's door refused to budge. Then a piece of paper stuck in the inside of the door frame caught Agatha's attention. "Out. Will return at 6 p. m.," she read, with dismay. She looked at her little chatelaine 'watch. It wes 5:35. In half an hour truthfully speaking, Scotch) Jeave that very morning and courageous enough, Agatha knew, to plan to get the din- per herself so as not to disappoint her father, but to be locked out of the house at the eleventh hour and to find the locksmith out Into the bargain-- this was a crisis for tears. A young man stepped out of the neighboring cigar shop just in time to see Agatha's handkerchief make a lit- tle dab at each of her moist blue eyes. "Can I be of service to you?' he asked gallantly. "I'm afraid not, thank you," Agatha replied, checking her momentary dis- play of emotion. But the young man was so politely solicitous that Agatha, in her distress, explained her dilemma, ending her ex- planation with, "And the locksmith, you see, has the inconsideration to be out." "Well, we can overcome that am- | culty essily enough," was the young man's cheerful response. "You see, I know the man who keeps the cigar store here very well, and I can get throtgh his shop into the locksmith's. Just wait a minute." Agatha waited and soon the young man reappeared, dangilug a bunch of skeleton keys mn his band. "These will open most anything, I reckon," he ssid, smiling at Agatha. *Now, if you'll kindly let me accom pany you to where you live, I'll have the door opén in a jiffy."

Parcells. AAAAAALAAAAAALAAAAAAAALALAALLS Yes, Arthur Blakely was to blame for the quarrel. The rising young law- yer frankly admitted this to his law books and his office desk, and he would have frankly admitted it to Mol ly Gray but for pride's sake. His transgressions consisted of seeing an- other young lady off on the train. The "seeing off" meant buying her ticket and getting ber trunk checked, and that might have been forgiven had not something else followed. She had to change cars at a junction five miles out, and she was tn such fear that she ! would take a wrong train and bring up in Texas instead of Connecticut that the young lawyer was prevafled upon to accompany her thus far. Of course Molly happened by the merest accident to find it out, and the fact | that Blakely had sald nothing made | a mountain out of a molehill. It was that little trifle that brought about a quarrel and disturbed the center of equilibrium of the whole United States. Miss Molly was fortunate enough to two agnts. She to offer on all occasions, but more es- | pecially In case of lovers' quarrels. When this quarrel had lasted n week, and when the young man, after seven sleepless nights, had determined to sink his pride and send flowers and follow them in person, Miss Molly was tossing her head before the glass and saying things to herself, particularly that she would show Mr. Arthur Blakely what was what and teach him a lesson to last him all the rest of his born days, She'd teach him to buy tickets and check trunks and ride out to junctions with a girl who had once referred to her hair as plain red instead of Titian. Ten minutes later she had decided to visit her Aunt Sarah. A message was sent ahead, and Aunt Barah was at the depot to meet her. The nlece received a warm welcome, and, follow- ing a plan perfected on the train, she forced herself to be unusually gay and appeared in the best of spirits. They had scarcely reached the house, how- ever, when Aunt Sarah patted her on the shoulder in a motherly way and said: "Now, then, you poor child, let's hear ' all about it. I want to assure you at the start that you bave my entire &ym- | pathy." "Why, aunty, what do you mean?" | "Don't try to fool me, young lady!

They were looking far ahead In hopes | of catching sight of the tin peddier. Those letters must be recovered at all hazards. Fallure apparently meant ye case of suicide and one of life- long remorse. Meanwhile, things had been happen- ng elsewhere. Arthur Blakely bad finally decided to send that bouquet and to follow it in person several hours later, only to find that Molly bad de- parted for the country. It wasn't a ase where he could go into court and argue it out, but a case of hustle. About the time that Aunt Sarah was picking up paper rags to make her Beal with the peddier the young law- yer was leaving the city on the ex- press and prepartng his argument for the jury of one, There was, of course, no ome at the depot to meet htm, and he stepped out in a lively way for the half mile walk. As he did so a tin peddler came driving slong and one of the wheels of his wagon struck a stone and slewed the vehicle around and upset it In the ditch. The bags of paper rags on top were thrown to the ground, and one of them burst- Ing open shot a bundle of letters to the feet of the lover. He recognized his stationery and his handwriting at a glance. Sherlock Holmes could not have Invented a more dramatic situa tion. "Villain, where did yeu get these?" Arthur finally demanded of the ped- dler. "Villain yourself! alls you 7 "You have robbed a house! You have stolen these letters from a giril" "Come off. You are crazy." "I arrest you! You are my prisoner! Here is evidence to convict you!" There {8 a difference between the fegal business and the constabulary business, and yonng Blakely soou dis- covered this. He had only taken the ' man of tinware by the collar when he | was seized himself in return, and as Molly drove up the ground. Sa § ' 1 There were ejaculations, exclams- tions, explanations and introductions Mr. Blakely bunted for his hat and missing buttons and "begged pardon. Molly regarded him with what she in- tended to be a cold stare, but which had a "T'li-forgive-you™ look mingled with it The peddler swore frankly and picturesquely and sald somebody had to pay for hia skinned nose. Aunt Sarah, bless her heart, was equal to the emergency. She felt the sting of conscience for having laid her sacri leglous hands on those love letters She suggested that a five dollar bill was the right sort of plaster for a skinned nose, and Mr. Blakely handed it over. Under other circumstances, being in the law, he would not have given it up until judgment had been rendered by a court and a writ of ex- scution issued. When peace reigned Aunt Sarah climbed down from the buggy and said: "I must go and sce Mrs. Willlams In that cottage over there. Mr. Blakely, will you have the kindness to drive Miss Gray back to the house?" | It was only a mile back to the farm- house, but owing to the lame horse and various other matters it was three hours before the buggy drove up to the | gate. Many a lovers' quarrel has been | tattle in far less time. . . . . Noise weeks later when Amt Sarah was asked about the rumored engage- | ment she assumed a knowing and fm- portant look and replied: i "Yes, 1 expeét it's eo, but where would they have been but for me and the tin peddler and Providence? I shall never let one of these men pass my gate again without at least calling to him and asking tbe price of wash dishes and nutmeg graters." ROYAL HOME OVAL HOME LIFE.
