43 .. SKETCH A Tale of Folks About School EARNHART got into his NASH and drove to the SMALL home of SWEET ISABELLE. As he neared the cottage he saw her standing in the doorway, dressed in a SCHEERER SILVER GOWIN. She welcomed him with great JOY. As they seated themselves on the COUCHfmanj, a LOWDEN knocking was heard at che door. WILEY VOSSLER burst into the room! Your mortgage money is due! he shrieked. Either you marry me or I will put you out of this WHITE cottage! Suddenly EARNHART leaped to his feet! I challenge you to a duel tomorrow morning at sunrise! he shouted. The WINNER will get Isabelle in marriage! I accept the challenge, Vossler said. I shall win, he added in a BRAGG-ing voice. The nxet DAY, BRIGHT and early, they were in a FAIRFIELD, over- looking the GREEN shore of the LAKE, under a VICKERY nut tree. ISABELLE was GRAY with fright. EARNHART was GRIM because of his GAMBLE with death. Just then the villain arrived in his new PACK- ARD. UHL be sure to losef' he said to the brave hero. I will keep the KEY to the cottage, and your CARR, Isabelle told WILEY VOSSLER! If you lose, I keep them both, and if you win you get to marry me and get to keep them, too. While EARNHART looked to see if his sword was SHARP, the villain took his CAIN and went down to the Creek to get a drink. When he heard a SHROLL HORN blow he knew it was time to go back to the field and fight the duel. He looked very CROSS as he climbed the high HILL near a deserted CAMP. In a few minutes all was ready and the duel began! Please make PEACE with each other, Isabelle begged, and we can go and play GOFF. The FEIGHNERS did not hear her, so intent were they on fighting each other. In WOHNLICK the FRAKES is over! The WINNER, EARNHART. Oh, I LOVE you so, Isabelle breathed. The villain lay on the ground, dead. Your work is DUNN,,' she added. Let's go into the cottage and start the FURNESS, it's getting cold. They went in by the SOUTHGATE. Suddenly they heard a loud whistling sound!!! It was a WORRELL-wind! It BLUE the roof off the cottage. Let us flee, Earnhart cried. We shall go to FRANTZV' Before they started they put VOSSLER in a COFFIN and buried him. Their CARR ate up the MILES. The storm was over. Carry me onto the boat, Isabelle said, because it's RAINEY out. They joulrneyed to FRANTZ, and we shall leave the SWI- I-LARTS sitting in a TEEGARDEN talking a great DEAL to some FRENCH people. -MARY LOU SWEET
