SYNOPSIS
I— APRIL*.—General factotum In the
house of her sister Ina, wife of Herbert
Deacon, in the small town of Warbleton
Lulu'Bett leads a dull, cramped existence,
With which she is constantly at enmity,
though apparently satisfied with her lot.
She has natural thoughts and aspirations
which neither her sister nor her brother-
in-law seemingly can comprehend. To Mr.
Deacon comes Bobby Larkin, recently
graduated high-school youth, secretly
enamored of Deacon’s elder daughter,
Diana, an applicant for a “job” around
the Deacon house. He is engaged, his
Occupation to be to keep the lawn in trim.
The family is excited over the news of an
approaching visit from Deacon’s brother
Ninian, whom he had not seen for many
years. Deacon jokes with Lulu, with
subtle meaning, concerning the coming
meeeting.
II— MAY.—Chiefly because of the ripple
in her placid, colorless existence which
the arrival of Ninian will bring, Lulu is
interested and speculative, meanwhile
watching with something like envy the
boy-and-girl love-making of Bobby and
Diana. Unexpectedly, Ninian arrives, in
the absence of Herbert, at his business,
and of Ina, resting. Thus he becomes
acquainted with Lulu first and in a meas-
ure understands her position in the house.
To Lulu, Ninian is a much-traveled man
of the world and even the slight interest
whioh he takes in her is appreciated, be-
muse it is something new in her life.
HI—JUNE.—At an outing which the
family takes, Ninian and Lulu become in
a measure confidential. He expresses his
disapproval of her treatment as a sort
of dependent in the Deacon home. Lulu
has vaguely had the same thoughts, but
her loyalty to her sister and her own
diffidence make Ninian’s comments em-
barrassing. He declares his intention of
giving the family a “good time” in the
City before he leaves. Diana and Bobby,
in the course of “soft nothings,” discuss
the possibility of eloping and “surprising
the whole school.” Lulu, despite herself,
has awakened to pleasant possibilities
concerning Ninian’s intentions toward
herself, the more so because hitherto she
has been a practical nonentity in the
household, having little to do with its
simple social functions. The fact that
Ninian had walked home with her causes
all sorts of speculations to disturb her
sJufiabers that night.
CHAPTER III—Continued
They were having to wait for Di in
any case—they always had to wait for
Di—and at last, hardly believing in
her own motions, Lulu was running to
"Look Here,” Said Ninian, “Aren't
You Going?” “Me?” Said Lulu.
“Oh, No."
make ready. Mrs. Betts hurried to
help her, but she took down the wrong
things and they were both irritated.
Lulu reappeared in the linen duster
and a wide hat. There had been no
time tto “tighten up” her hair; she
was flushed at the adventure; she had
never looked so well.
They started. Lulu, falling in with
Monona, heard for the first time in
her life, the step of the pursuing male,
choosing to walk beside her and the
little girl. Oh, would Ina like that?
And what did Lulu care what Ina
liked? Monona, making a silly, semi-
articulate observation, was enchanted
to have Lulu burst into laughter and
squeeze her hand.
Di contributed her bright presence,
and Bobby Larkin appeared from no-
where, running, with a gigantic bag
of fruit.
“Bullylujah!” he shouted, and Lulu
could have shouted with him.
She sought for some utterance. She
wanted to talk with Ninian.
“I do hope we’ve brought sand-
wiches enough,” was all that she could
get to say.
~~-mey chose a spot, that is to say,
Dwight Herbert chose a spot, across
the river and up the shore where
there was at that season a strip of
warm beach. Dwflght Herbert declared
himself the builder of incomparable
fires, and made a bad smudge. Nin-
ian, who was a camper neither by birth
nor by adoption, kept offering bright-
ly to help, could think of nothing to
do, and presently, bethinking himself
of skipping stones, went and tried to 1
skip them on the flowing river. Ina
cut her hand opening the condensed
'milk and was obliged to sit under a
tree and nurse the wound. Monona
spilled all the salt and sought diligent-
ly to recover it. So Lulu did all the
work. As for Di and Bobby, they had
taken the pail and gone for water, dis-
couraging her to the point of tears.
But the two were gone for so long
that, on their return, Dwight was hun-
gry and cross and majestic.
“Those who disregard the comfort of
other people,” he enunciated, “cannot
expect consideration for themselves in
fhe future.”
He did not say on what ethical tenet
this dictum was based, but he deliv-
ered it with extreme authority. Ina
caught her lower lip with her teeth,
dipped her head and looked at Di. And
Monona laughed like a little demon.
As soon as Lulu had all in readiness,
and cold corned beef and salad had be-
gun their orderly progression, Dwight
became the immemorial dweller in
green fastnesses. He began:
“This is ideal. I tell you, people
don’t half know life if they don’t get
out and eat in the open. It’s better
than any tonic at a dollar the bottle.
Nature’s tonic—eh? Free as the air.
Look at that sky. See that water.
Could anything be more pleasant?”
He smiled at his wife. This man’s
face was glowing with simple pleasure.
He loved the out-of-doors with a love
which could not explain itself. But he
now lost a definite climax when his
wife’s comment was heard to be:
“Monona! Now it’s all over both
ruffles. And mamma does try so
hard. ...”
After supper some boys arrived with
a boat which they beached, and
Dwight, with enthusiasm, gave the
boys ten cents for a half hour’s use of
that boat and invited to the waters his
wife, his brother and his younger
daughter. Ina was timid—not be-
cause she was afraid, but because she
was congenitally timid—with her this
was not a belief or an emotion, it was
a disease.
“Dwight, darling, are you sure
there’s no danger?”
“Why, none. None in the world.
Whoever heard of drowning in a
river?”
“But you’re not so very used—” ,
Oh, wasn’t he? Who was it that
had lived in a boat throughout youth,
if not he?
Ninian refused out-of-hand, lighted
a cigar, and sat on a log in a perma-
nent fashion. Ina’s plump figure was
fitted in the stern, the child Monona
affixed, and the boat put off, bow well
out of water. On this pleasure ride
the face of the wife was as the face
of the damned. It was true that she
revered her husband’s opinions above
those of all other men. In politics,
in science, in religion, in dentistry, she
looked up to his dicta as to revelation.
And was he not a magistrate? But let
him take oars in hand, or shake lines
or a whip above the back of any horse,
and this woman would trust any other
woman’s husband by preference. It
was a phenomenon.
Lulu was making the wvork last, so
that she should be out of everybody’s
way. When the boat put off without
Ninian, she felt a kind of terror and
wished that he had gone. He had
sat down near her, and she pretended
not to see. At last Lulu understood
that Ninian was deliberately choosing
to remain with her. The languor of
his bulk after the evening meal made
no explanation for Lulu. She asked
for no explanation. He had stayed.
And they were alone. For Di, on a
pretext of examining the flocks and
herds, was leading Bobby away to the
pastures, a little at a time.
The sun, now fallen, had left an
even, waxen sky. Leaves and ferns
appeared drenched with the light just
withdrawn. The hush, the warmth,
the color, were charged with some in-
fluence. The air of the time communi-
cated itself to Lulu as intense and
quiet happiness. She had not yet felt
quiet with Ninian. For the first time
her blind excitement in his presence
ceased, and she felt curiously accus-
tomed to him. To him the air of the
time imparted itself in a deepening of
I his facile sympathy.
“Do you know something?” he be-
| gan. “I think you have it pretty hard
! around here.”
“I?” Lulu was genuinely aston-
I islied.
! “Yes, sir. Do you have to work
| like this all the time? I guess you
! won’t mind my asking.”
| “Well, 1 ought to work. I have a
| home with them. Mother, too.”
“Yes, but glory! You ought to have
! some kind of a life of your own. You
i want it, too. You told me you did—
! that first day.”
She was silent. Again he was in-
vesting her with a longing which she
I had never really had. until he had
planted that longing. She had wanted
she knew not what. Now she accept-
ed the dim, the romantic interest of
this role.
“I guess you don’t see how it
seems,” he said, “to me, coming along
—a stranger so. I don’t like it.”
He frowned, regarded the river,
flicked away ashes, his diamond obedi-
ently shining. Lulu's look, her head
drooping, had the liquid air of the
look of a young girl. For the first
time in her life she was feeling her
helplessness. It intoxicated her.
“They’re very good to me,” she said.
He turned. ‘.‘Do you know .why you
think that7? Because You’ve never 'Pad
anybody really good to you. That’s
why.”
“But they treat me good.”
“They make a slave of you. Regu-
lar slave.” He puffed, frowning.
“D—d shame, I call it,” he said.
Her loyalty stirred Lulu. “We have
our whole living—”
“And you earn it. I been watching
you since I been here. Don’t you ever
go anywheres?”
She said: “This is the first place
in—in years.”
“Lord! Don’t you want to? Of
course you do!”
“Not so much places like this—”
“I see. What you want is to get
away—like you’d ought to.” He re-
garded her. “You’ve been a blamed
fine-looking woman,” he said.
She did not flush, but the faint, un-
suspected Lulu spoke for her:
“You must have been a good-look-
ing man once yourself.”
His laugh went ringing across the
water. “You’re pretty good,” he said.
He regarded her approvingly. “I don’t
see how you do it,” he mused, “blamed
if I do.”
“How I do what?”
“Why come back, quick like that,
with what you say.”
Lulu’s heart was beating painfully.
The effort to hold her own in talk like
this was terrifying. She had never
talked in this fashion to anyone. It was
as if some matter of life or death
hung on her ability to speak an alien
tongue. And yet, when she was most
at loss, that other Lulu, whom she
had never known anything about,
seemed suddenly to speak for her. As
now:
“It’s my grand education,” she said.
She sat humped on the log, her
beautiful hair shining in the light of
the warm sky. She had thrown off
her hat and the linen duster, and was
in her blue gingham gown against the
sky and leaves. But she sat stiffly,
her feet carefully covered, her hands
111 at ease, her eyes rather piteous
in their hope somehow to hold her
vague own. Yet from her came these
sufficient, insouciant replies.
“Education,” he said laughing heart-
ily. “That’s mine, too.” He spoke a
creed. “I ain’t never had it and I
ain’t never missed it.”
“Most folks are happy without an
education,” said Lulu.
“You’re not very happy, though.”
“Oh, no,” she said.
“Well, sir,” said Ninian, ‘Til tell
you what we’ll do. While I’m here
and
COTTON COMES
IN SLOWLY
Cotton ginning has slackened some-
what locally during the past two
weeks, the total number of bales
turned out to date by the two; local
gins being 3,368. It is expected that
ginning will continue slack until the
second crop begins to move. Esti-
mates of the probable yield of the
second crop indicate that the total
Mercedes yield will be brought' up
to better than 4,000 bales.

GARNER TO BE UNOPPOSED
BY REPUBLICANS
At the district Republican conven-
tion in Brownsville last Saturday it
was decided not to place any candi-
date in the field for congressban
from, the 15th Congressional District,
it being generally conceded that the
present incumbent, John N. Garner,
is too firmly entrenched in that posi-
tion to be ousted.
John A. Scott of Corpus Christi was
placed in nomination for the office of
criminal district judge in opposition
to Judge Cunningham of Harlingen.
W. E. Thomas of San Benito will
oppos^l A. L. Lewis of Harlingen for
legislator for Cameron County.

ROTARY TO GIVE MINSTREL
SHOW FOR ATHLETIC ASS’N
MERCEDES OIL CO.
STARTS DRILLING
I’m going to take you and Ina
Dwight up to the city.”
“To the city?”
“To a show. Dinner and a show.
I’ll give you one good time.”
“Oh!” Lulu leaned forward. “Ina
and Dwight go sometimes. I never
been.”
“Well, just you come with me. I’ll
look up what’s good. You tell me just
what you like to eat, and we’ll get
it—”
“1 haven’t had anything to eat in
years that I haven’t cooked myself.”
He planned for that time to come,
and Lulu listened as one intensely ex-
periencing every word that he uttered.
Yet it was not in that future merry-
making that she found her joy, but in
the consciousness that he—some one—
anyone—was planning like this for
her.
Meanwhile Di and Bobby had round-' /
At the regular Tuesday luncheon
of the Mercedes Rotary Club it was
voted to give a Rotary Minstrel show
for the benefit of the Mercedes High
School Athletic Association some
time after the opening of school. The
cast for the minstrel will be all Ro-
tary, and from alj indications a
mirth making evening is in store. All
of the proceeds of the show will be
given (to the Athletic Association to
help pay for uniforms and equipment.

REGULAR MEETING OF LEGION
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
The regular meeting of the Mer-

Labor Day celebration and other vital
topics will be discussed.
ed the corner by an old hop-house and
kept on down the levee. Now that
the presence of the others was with-
drawn, the two looked about them dif-
ferently and began themselves to give
off an influence instead of being
pressed upon by overpowering person-
alities. Frogs were chorusing in the
near sVamp, and Bobby wanted one.
He was off after it. But Di eventu-
ally drew him back, reluctant, frog-
less. He entered upon an exhaustive
account of the use of frogs for bait,
and as he talked he constantly flung
stones. Di grew restless. There was.
she had found, a certain amount of
this to be gone through before Bobby
would focus on the personal. At
length she was obliged to say, “Like
me today?” And then he entered
upon persona] talk with the same
zest with which be had discussed bait.
“Bobby,” said Di, “sometimes I
think we might be married, and not
wait for any old money.”
They had now come that far. It
was partly an authentic attraction,
grown from out the old repulsion, and
partly it was that they both—and es-
pecially Di—so much wanted the ex-
periences of attraction that they as-
sumed its ways. And then each cared
enough to assume the pretty role re-
quired by the other, and by the occa-
sion, and by the air of the time.
“Would you?” asked Bobby—but in
the subjunctive.
“She said: “Yes, I will.”
“It would mean running away,
wouldn’t it?” said Bobby, still sub-
junctive.
“I suppose so. Mamma and papa
are so unreasonable.”
“Di.” said Bobby, “I don’t believe
you could ever be happy with me.”
“The idea! I can,-too. You’re go-
ing to be a great man—you know you
are.”
Bobby was silent. Of course he
knew7 it—but he passed it over.
“Wouldn’t it be fun to elope and
surprise the whole school?” said Di,
sparkling.
Bobby grinned appreciatively. He
was good to look at, with his big
frame, his head of rough, dark hair,
the sky" warm upon his clear skin and
full mouth. Di suddenly announced
that she would be willing to elope
now.
“I’ve planned eloping lots of times,”
she said ambiguously.
It flashed across the mind of Bobby
that in these plans of hers he may
not always have been the principal,
and he cou'id not be su.cC ... . But

Soft cries sounded in the center of

oars shipped; and there sat Dwight

crying across the water and kept it
up. It was almost as good as an
echo. Ina, stepping safe to the sands,
cried ungratefully that this was the
last time that she would ever, ever

the moment to require of him humor,
