"Here you are head over heels in love with one of the richest girls that ever grew, reasonably sure she doesn't dislike you, got a good job, yet you let a slicker like Wallie •fibers walk off with the plum." ' "He hasn't walked off with, her yet," returned Olive Culver.' "No fault of yours he hasn't, snd If you'd seen him last night sfter you left the party, I guess you'd say there was need for speed 1" "It takes a pile of nerve for a duffer like me to ask for anything so wonderful as Annette, Ben. Why-- the thought of what I was daring to do would choke me on the first word!" | "It's a good thing we a rent all ! shrinking violets like you, or mar- ; riages would be made in heaven! I'd write it out and then practice saying | it till I got over being "old-man-afraid- 1 of-hls-votce!" After Marshall left Culver sat think- j ing over their conversation. He had j loved Annette Keating ever since their first meeting. But when it came to proposing to her be never had been able to summon sufficient courage. Ben's suggestion that he write out his proposal and practice saying It had generated the first twinge of courage he had felt In many a day. He was aroused, from his reverie by the sound of familiar voices, and going to the window was hailed by two associates. "We're planning a dance for Friday night, Olive. Want to come?" With his new-found courage 'still tingling In his consciousness he answered In the affirmative, at once .formulating IS his mind so. Invitation to Annette. "Oh, Olive! I--I'm so aorry!" answered the girl, witlti a' catch In har voice, when Olive telephoned his Invitation a little later. "I've just promised Wallle Rbers and I can't break a promise!" "I suppose not, but fibers must have been sitting on your front step whan the boys planned the party, to have asked you so soon!" Annette did not go to the* danc# wtth Wallle Ebers. On Friday morn' ing her six-year-old brother, Buddie, broke out with measles, and was so cross no one but his sister seemed sble to quiet him. For more tlta»,a week Annette was his conaSadt at- J tendant. Finally he bfgan to long for the outside. ( "Sis!" he exclaimed, "how I wishwe had a phonograph like Culver's!' Wouldn't It be fun to have some Jnix stuff while I'm gettln' well?" "Why, Buddie 1 If you'd like It, TO phone Mrs. Culver and ask her for It." It was but a short time after that the groceryman delivered the Culver phonograph at Heating's door. "Begin at the top shelf, sis, and play 'etn all the way down!" demanded the delighted child. When every shelf but one had been emptied, Buddie was fast asleep, but there being but one record left on the bottom slielf, Annette decided to play it. There was no title on the record. As she listened a voice began to speak --a masculine voice, which seemed familiar--it was addressing her. "Annette," said the voicei "I've wait- ; ed for more than a year to tell you how much I care for you, but it has seemed fcueh a' big thing to ask you to marry me, I've never dared do it: till now. Will you?" The bewildered girl shut off the power, wrapped the. record in a fold of her skirt, made sure Buddie was' still asleep, and flew to her room,, where understanding finally penetrated. A little later a customer who seemed to be laboring under somp> suppressed excitement called at the* talking machine shop on Main street,; asked for Ben Marshall, and when ' that salesman was at liberty retired ;wlth him to one of the booths where records are tried. That same afternoon Cllve Culver was sent to a neighboring town on business for his firm. Returning the following evening at supper time, hi* very, first act after entering the front door wa« to lock himself In a little, den off'the library. In another moment he was out again, flying to the kitchen, where he grabl>ed his astonished Mother by the shoulders. .. "Mothor!" he gasped. "Whertff the phonograph?" . ' "In the front hall behind the door. Yesterday--" Just here a' neighbor called Mrs. Culver to the rear fence, and during her absence Olive wheeled the talking machine Into the den. When-the door was safely locked once more he opened the cabinet with a hand that almost trembled and felt on the bottom shelf. I*'- ' Explaining Freckle* Freckles are always most distinct la summer, but though the influence of the sun's rays affect their distinctness, It Is doubtful whether It can cause them. They are due to increased local deposits of plgmeat graftlta In the epidermis. OncJb Neat in Trees Whistlers, hooded mergansers and wood dncks build their nests In trees selecting a hollow limb, or a deep bole in the trunk. Often the trees are con slderahle distance from the water. On several occasions wild geaaa were known to nest In trees. Old Surgical Operation* Surgical operations were performed by the ancients.
