Ha ILVAR JEWELLER and OPTICIAN EYES TESTED FREE As L Ca a of Tit For Tat How Dan Cupid Straightened Out the Tangle. By CLARA H. HOLMES. The train from the west palled r :the station, puffing breathlessly fro Its long race, and Ben Hildreth dr ped off the rear car and looked abo expectantly. "Hilda!" he ejaculated joyfnll stoollIng to 'kiss the slender .young lad who approached bim with extende hand. Her hanghty withdrawal and v Indignant look surprised him, and critical glance made him painfully aware of bis forty-three years and dusty and very ordinary dress. But when Ben clasped hands wi Elilda's mother he forgot the bit tang of disappointment. She was u changed. Her face wore the same co tented look, and the welcome he ceived might have been a leaf to from the book of past happenings. Even the hot biscuit at supper ti bad the well remembered relish of fo mer days. And the thoughtful ma of saying, "Now go and take yo smoke, Ben. I know you are wantin It badly," seemed like the picking u of the raveled threads from the to gled skein of time. Somewhat of Rilda's aloofness wo off after the drat few days-whenev she could forget the humiliation of b Ing kissed In public. "The very. idea! Any one woul ;know be was from the west!" she co eluded wrathfully when telling it t her mother. Mrs. Stevens laughed heartily. "Ar 'people so different in the west? I ha supposed that they were merely ens getic persons who needed elbow room.' "Oh, you can laugh, but just look a his clothes!" "Yes; clothing does make adifferen In the flavor of a kiss." "Whether it does or not; Lam not go. fag out there to live with a man of enough to be my father," was the an gry reply, "Tell him so,not me. e You knew where he lived and his age, didn't yon when you gave him your promise?" As the days went by Hiida's dislik seemed to increase. She would fr quently go out and let her mother' en- tertain Ben,for a whole afternoo without theeourtesy of an apology,. Ben did not appear to be annoyed the least. • Instead he chatted merrily with Mrs. Stevens and easily fell into the old time babit;ofcal!iug her-Lot,tie. Occasionally he would regard Hilda so teasingly that she would gro. restive under his gaze and fly out of �he room, storming to her mother: ''I Mate him! I hate him!" 1J'* The wedding day drew near.

"Do you know where Hilda Is'?" .he questioned of her mother: "Why, yes," she replied-` "She said that she was going over to' her cousin Nettle's." "Oh, she did, did she?" answered. Ben so quizzically that Mrs. Stevens said nervously, "What is wrong?" "There's nothing wrong," he replied rwith a light laugh and settled himself 'for a smoke. His laugh was too light to be reassuring. Mrs. Stevens drum. med on the table restlessly. It' "s' all right, Lottie," he assured her, laying his hand over her fingers to still their restless movement. After a moment be remarked: "How home. ,like you make every place, Lottie!

You are always laughing at me, and I think it's awful mean of you." Ben smoked placidly and made no reply, which angered Hilda all the more. She looked toward her mother as if craving support. but as she ap- peared absorbed in her occupation the enraged girl flounced out of the room, slamming the door vigorously. it lacked only a week to the date set for the wedding. Hilda stood in the embrasure of the window drumming restlessly on the window pane. An automobile halted by the curb, but well in the shadow of the trees. She turned, as if tired of her amuse- ment, and sauntered up to her room. It was but a very few minutes until a soft frou-frou through the hall and the cautious opening and closing of the front door betrayed her departure. Ben' came from an adjoining room laughing gleefully. "Hurry up, Lottie! If they get there before us it will spoil all the fun." "You are sure that it is an elope. merit, Ben?" "Certainly. I heard them planning it. Come on, come on," he urged, tak- ing her arm. They hurried out by the . rear entrance, and before the others were under way they were !lying down a side street to the parsonage. When.the elopers arrived they were' conducted at once to the study by the parson himself. As they placed them- selves in readiness for the marriage ceremony the parson remarked: "You must excuse me, but the law requires two witnesses. I suppose you do not object," And without waiting for a reply he opened a side door and ad- mitted Hilda's mother and Ben. "Oh! breathed Hilda, frightened. But Ben said nothing. The minister went on with the ceremony, and Hilda, having caught sight of Ben's derisive smile, did not Iift her eyes again till the final words were spoken. The ceremony concluded, her mother congratulated her calmly. Ben's eyes twinkled mockingly as he held out his hand to Hilda. "Receive my hearty congratulations, Mrs. Dupont. I came here to marry. I thought you were to be my bride, but you were a Little cheat I overheard you planning with the man who wore a better coat than I, and, listening to your very amusing comments on my personal peculiarities. I acknowledged to myself that the union would not be very satisfactory on either side. But the rttuation was not as unpleasant as it mlgbt have been. I had been mis- taken as web as you, and the more 1 saw of your mother the better satisfied I was with the way things were coin. ing. I really wanted you to be honest enough to speak out, but when 'you wouldn't, why, we made first inning and were married less than five min• utes before your arrival here," Hilda' s look of astonishment changed to one of demure mockery. •'I trust, papa, dear, that you enjoyed my sone wary of your very mature charms," she said "It didn't hurt my feelings a little. bit, daughter. I knew my, age to a day, and all- about the 'skating rink,' and as to my coat, 1f Mr. Charlie bad worn it .you wouldn't have known it from broadcloth." ' • Hilda,laughed softly and gave 'bot newly ade husband an adoring look.'' "So, you see, it wasn't the colla; 'twits the man in the coat,'philoso• nbized Ben. "It Vas just a little game of tit for tat, in which we are all winners," re marked Mrs. Hildreth, happily, • I . • Qidn't Get a Chance to Nurse.
