A SUMMER FANCY
(Continued from page 4)
can assure you." She made an at-
tempt to rise, but he , quickly jumped
off the settee and sat down beside
her. "If • you don't," he added
hastily, "you will drive me to drink.
And then some day you will be
walking on a street deeply ponder-
ing about some social reform. I will
stagger out from a saloon—drunk.
Then I will recognize you and say,
%roman, survey your work. I was
once a promising young attorney,
but you blasted my hopes and ruin-
ed my life.' Won't you eat yourself
up with regrets."
"You think you are clever, don't
you?" she questioned, attempting to
look angry but failing to conceal
her laughter. "Anyhow, you are not
a man of your word. You promised
not to mention anything about mar
—unpleasant."
"That's so, too," he said thought-
fully. "Pardon me. Well, then,
seriously, Gyp—Rebecca, can't you
see the possibilities in this town ?
Why, dearest, there are always op-
Portunities for social service, as you
term it, right around us, which we
fail to notice. We dream idly of
achieving wonders and neglect our
own little homely duties. Here at
home, my dear, you could do a great
deal. Your mother is tired with her
many household cares. A cheerful
word and pleasant smile from you
would gladden her. Being polite to
Lydy, frequently, would do much
towards cheering up that hard-
worked girl. You might take an
evening or two a week to teach
Lydy and a few others how to read
and write. This, in my humble
estimation, could be called social
service."
"You are too absurd. Can't you
be serious for once?" said Rebecca
reproachfully.
"I am serious. Please don't inter-
rupt me," he replied. "You might
even induce some of the people here
to contribute something for a fund
with which to open a combination
coffee and reading room with Mrs.
Rowe in charge. This would serve
two purpose. It would keep the
woman busy and divert her
thoughts from her own woes, and,
at the same time, induce the boys to
spend their evenings quietly read-
ing, instead of frequenting the sa-
loon. Let me help you; dear," he
said persuasively. "I'm sure we
could do something to improve con-
ditions. I've been thinking of it
often." He paused to watch the ef-
fect of his words.
Rebecca looked up at him sur-
prised. It never entered her mind
that Oscar with his light, bantering
talk could think so seriously. But it
all sounded so commonplace, not at
all ideal, like the plans someone else
had spoken about. She recalled his

parting words, "There is something
I would like to say to you, but 1 will
write," and he had smiled so confiL
dently. Surely he would write and

"What is the answer, 'dear ?"
urged Oscar.
"Oh, I can't, 1 can't," she replied
sharply. "Why do you persist in an-
noying me?"
"Is there anyone else? Tell me,
Rebecca," he insisted.
Her face burned and she turned
her head away from his eager gaze.
"I think it is going to rain," she
said irrelevantly.
"I can take a hint sometimes," he
said, listlessly rising. "Who is he?"
he said abruptly.
"And you said you could take a
hint," she slyly remarked and sped
up the stairs. Ile picked up his hat.
"Good-bye," he said coldly. Ile
walked down the stairs slowly, then
he turned around and asked softly :
"Tell me who
She quickly opened the screen
door and went into the house. A
minute later she came out. "Can't
we be just friends?" she said de-
murely, but he was gone.
"Where is Oscar ?" asked her
mother, who came out on the porch
a few minutes later.
"He thought it would rain," ex-
plained Rebecca sullenly.
"You two don't appear to be such
friends as you used to be. You
don't seem yourself since you came
home, honey. \\That's the matter—
tell mother!" said Mrs. Fishman
anxiously.
