KAHN TIRE SHOP

1916 Blaine, Near Twelfth

Old Rabbi Nacham with his long
white beard and pyoth was saying
something now in Yiddish to Ra-
chel, who looked like an animated
Magazine cover girl in that brown
dress.
"It is simply this," said the old
man, "kneel down, untie his shoe
—which signifies the unbinding of
a tie, the halitza, you know—and
repeat the words I tell thee and
then spit—ye in his face."
The actress in Rachel smiled a
smile which did not reach the am-
ber eyes. Her heart was sore.
"You love him—you love him—
you love him—" it had murmured
to her all day and she had hushed
the murmuring as one hushes a
whimpering child with promises of
exultation, of satisfaction, of re-
venge upon him who had so hu-
miliated her. But, had he, said
her heart. Hadn't he the right to
reject an old world custom in his
newly acquired country? Hadn't
he the right to change his customs
as well as his name for what he
felt to be better customs and a

mor eeuphonlous name? Hadn't
he?--hadn't he? Yes, her heart
was sore.

Slowly she knelt down, and
swiftly she arose. Rachel, the act-
ress, had fled ignominiously, and
Rachel, the woman, Rachel, the
girl In love, flung her arms about
Irving and sobbed, sobbed her sore
heart out, sobbed until it felt easy
again with Irving's strong arms
caressing her, Irving's deep low
tones murmuring endearing things
to her, Irving's gentle hands wip-
ing away the tears, and Irving's
lips meeting her own.
"Darling, darling Rachel," he
said tenderly. And now it was
Irving, the business man, talking
as he held her close with one arm,
while with the other he drew out
the long, official-looking document.
"Beloved," he said, "why waste
a perfectly good ceremony?"
And Rachel's amber eyes smiled
with her lips and with her heart.

Instead of love being the occa-
sion of all the misery of this world,
as is sung by fantastic bards, I
believe that the misery of this
world is occasioned by there not
being love enough.—Beaconsfield.

The fox has no desire for cher-
ries because he has not learned to
climb the tree.

"Marry you!" she spoke out in a
well rehearsed speech. In fact,
she had whispered it so often to
herself in the past month that it
was as if she were playing a part.
"Marry you!" here she laughed
hysterically (which was not in the
part). "I should say I will not
marry you." And then, as she saw
the kind brown eyes grow suddenly
wide and sad she forgot her part
and bowed her head.
"Do you know who I am?" she
said softly.

And here, too, Rachel did not
feel the satisfaction she had
thought she would feel upon blurt-
ing out her full married name.
"My brother's widow!" gasped
Irving. And then, "Oh, my God,
why didn't you tell me?"
And as though these words had
suddenly fired her up, Rachel be-

dish, of all that had happened be-
lj
tween the death of her father and

her meeting with Irving at the
dance. Upon conclusion of her
narrative, Irving was conscience-
stricken.

Now that her moment had
come, Rachel did not feel as exul-
tant•as she had expected. In fact,
she had to draw her head away
quickly so as not to look at the
clean-cut features and kind brown
eyes she had so worshipped in that
picture of his. The memory of the
picture brought her to herself.
Pulling her hands away, she turned
fiercely to him, her eyes light yel-
low and snapping.

Irving was speechless. He shook
his head, signifying that he did
not.
