By JANE 'OSBORN Copyright. ) SALLY Famous Last Words CARR, felt Uke a naughty girl' having her own way when she told John Horner that he might see her borne that cold, clear As usual, there night in February. were several of the young men who had expressed the hcpe that they might walk the two blocks with her that lay between : her house and the clubhouse where those Informal neighborhood da nce9. were held twice a week all winter. There were Tom and Kendrick and Rodney. .She knew that offer of any one of If she aeeepted-ththose three the other two, while In a measure disappointed. Would have ap proved. They were birds of a feather, each in the estimation of the other a regular fellow." Cut, John Horner was a queer tish, to put. lt mildly. lie read too much, studied too hard and loafed too little. Though the same age ps the ethers, he had gone off to college two years before they were even through high school, lie had even contrived to save enough money working in vacations to pay for six months abroad after he left college. Now he was working In a raagaztne office somewhere In the city and It was said that he had sold poetry and , was writing a novel. When Sally first danced with John that . evening at the club she was a little embarrassed because she felt that she was taller than he. She felt relieved when she saw In a mirror at the end of the room that they were Still practically the same height. Just a Sally wished that. John--wertrifle taller.' TotivTiendrlck and Rod-,newere all sis feet or more. . But when she sat talicing with John after that first dance slic forgot his stature.. He was telling her an amusing Incident of his short stay In Algiers the summer before. Lnter they spoke of poetry and Sally asked him If she might some time see something he had written. "Ill recite It to you If youll let me," said John. He asked If he might walk, home with her and she said he Alight Tin glad," said John, because 1 want to recite that poem to yon. As a matter of fact, I wrote It to you. Its a funny sort of thing. I sold it, though, jflrst thing. But I cant say It In here. I have to be outdoors." Sally and John were among the first out of the clubhouse that sharp February evening. Deep ruts In the snow and a smooth glaze of Ice over much of the road made motoring uncertain and almost all of the dancers chose 1 to walk home. , Sally was aware that Kendrick walking with Rodneys sister and Torn walking with Kendricks cousin with Rodney in tow were walking five abreast not far behind her. Apparently they found something very amusing to talk about. Sally blushed a little at the conviction that that something was the .vision ahead of them, of herself and John walking np the icy hill. She asked John to recite hJs poem But not . too lond," she Hvarned. "some one may be listening. John began.' It jwks really a rather nice bit of verse. Sally was too confused to hear much of the first four lines and Jhe last four she never heard, at feast until several months Inter. But. she did catch enough of thorn to know that they expressed ar-- , dent devotion and. Salt; remembered that John had said liq had written the lines to her. ..The hand of the poei holding her arm so firmly sent a strange thrill Into Sallys young heart and then, unexpectedly, the hold became tighter, painfully tight, and Sally felt suddenly that the slippery ground had .been pulled out from nnder her. It seemed as If tlrecoM sky above turned a sudden half circle and then she landed, hut on something unexpectedly soft. When she came to a full realization of Just what had happened It was to hear a chorus of rough guffaws and riiucous ha hna. Tom and Kendrick were Rodney, standing over her and so were Rod neys sister and Kendrick's ' cousin. And Sally realized as they looked down upon her that she was sitting squarely and firmly on John Horners - , . stomach. . Tin sure I dont see anything to laugh at," said Sally, but apparently John did. At least ns soon as he had scrambled to his feet he managed to Join the others In their laughter. Ken-- , drick suggested that one of the brave trio had better help John home to keep him from slipping while another She had better walk on with Sally. ' might sit on yon again. said Rodney Sally looked at John. Standing there beside the others he looked very short almost Insignificant. - Then she re membered the four lines he had begun to recite. Tears came Into her eyes I think W3 can manage very well alone." Sally told the others. So they went on up the MM fogeth'er, walking very gingerly, arm in arm. I wopt try to go on with the verses." John told her. "Walking, on tee and spouting poetry , apparently don't go well together." "Tint I think what I heard was very beautiful." Stilly said. John stood still and held her to him looking straight Into her eyes, that seemed like jewels In the faint star tight, "you know I love you." he said Rut after what happened, of course yon can only despise me.- - Yon were very, very kind not to send me of! before tliS others."
