"ALIMON" By FLORA HANDY, eeoveeerecnrrenneniarnennenmermmieirinteont ¥ Addle Drew was the most popular lee at Ports Harbor, and especially was she liked by Bennie Brandon, manager of the dry goods store of Hogakine & Bmith; Addie . was & jolly girl, and wherever sho appeared at the "Corner" she was always surrounded by a bevy of young folks, and usually, if there were ay of the masculine rex among the crowd. Benule would stand glaring out af one of the big plategloss windows at them. He had been walking home with Ad tor a year now, and she was coniidered (la that country town) his girl. Then appeared on the scone a city bred young gentleman. He had been on the stage and in a elreua; he could dance on his hend. hands, or feet, and at a party, during dancing, he could call out "Altmon left or right" in such a way that be won the admiration of everybody, though no one knew what allmon meant. Addie being the best dancer and prettiest girl, naturally the new city chap devoted ‘his. atten: | tlon most exclusively to her, and she was, if anything, a tease, and delight ed in seeing Bennte‘s glaring eyes on the new bean. Of course, she was caly teasing him, so Matte Dean amzured 8 CH Eve ing into ber parlor as she eat. with Lem Barry, Bennie‘s beat friend. Bhe was ready for the concert up at the ball that a stray minatrel company was to give. "Oh, Bennie," abe laughed, "don‘t let Addie see she is teaxing you so!" "T‘ll let that beast whe . is / firting | around . with . mse so pretty soon, though," Bennie an! { awered, ruffling his blond tresses in football style over his bead; and with | his pouting lipe and flushed cheeks he looked not uniike a big peeved baby. "H‘s a coward, and everyone around here knows it," Bennie went on. "Look, this winter bow he ran when Bob Leavitt got In the lake and called for ; help! He ran home fast as his bow- ; legn could carry him and left one fel | low to get Bob out alone." "And who wan the fellow that got Bob out?" Mattie maked, with a smiling wink at Lem. Bennie kicked the footstool away from the chair where he sat. "He‘a a coward, that‘s all!" he deck red. | "A rascally coward," "Why don‘t you | prove It to Addie? Thats all you would bave to do," Lew maid in bis his slow, deep drawl. . "If I could!" Bennie exclaimed, his eyer fashing. "Oh!" criéd Matis, "I have it, Banmie. Where 1s that bearckin dressed up in New Yeat‘s as a Call thumplan? Cen‘t you put that on and scare him? He wam‘t here New Year‘s and never saw you in ft, and | Addie did. It wouldo‘t frighten her and It Is moonlight tonight." "When they come from the concert, you could walt untll they got to the lonely corner at the foot of the lane, and then grow! lke you did New Yeer‘s, — My, what growls you did give, though! And that will prove to Addle what a coward he is, for he would run, ‘The stow is deep and be coulda‘t wo very fust; you could chase him." ‘They all laughed. "By Jove, I will," Beanie wald; "you see I can‘t leave | the store, and take her around to all these entertainments, and she don‘t like it, but that can‘t be helped. I have to tend to business, Bay, there be fun tonight, though. Mattle-you‘ve a head on you like a brick! Lem, you‘ve got one fine girl there, and if It wasn‘t for Addle-" "You go now," growled Lem, "or FHl be dressing up as a bear too.". Bennle went on leughtng. | Durtog a ull in the concert Matthe whispered to Lem: "I told Addie Bennie was going to dress an a bear end scare Ralph Durkin, and she laughed," *You told her; why?" Lem saked slowly, "Well," Mattie sighed. ‘you nee she has been altogether too velendly with that new fellow, and t} will show who she cares most for. If she tells Ralph about {t, why he cfres most for him; if she don‘t tell him, whe she caree most for Benole" "U- mph." commented Lem, "that sean p is not to be compared with Ben: Jamit ; she will be a fool. but then I think you did right." Ralph was near Ing th« lane with Addle, and bending low he maid: "You are the fatrent girl I ever mat," etc. Addie laughed and answered gayly: . "Really, Mr. Durkin, you are a great fntterer,." ‘Then nll of a sudden a terrible noire | arrested . their . attention. . Ralph stopped still in the rond. .
