Scott General Passenger Agent Portland, Oregon Bv HUDSON C EASTON 1 bud been fur aome time devoted to i Kltmnor. 1 bad received such enroti UKL'iueiit aa to lead me to believe thnt ; If 1 roK)Ked to ber 1 would be accept ; cd. Mut my mind wan not definitely i made up. A man Is not likely to come to a conclusion In tbe mutter of ma rlase unless some great advantage 1b i to lie gained or be Is madly lu love. Tbe first may not always decide him but the latter will. In my case there was no especial advantage to be gain cd, and I bad drifted so gently Into love that 1 was unaware that 1 had got there. I called one evening and found Elea nor snlfllng at some cut flowers. Who had any buxlness to be sending her flowcre? The corners of my moutb went down, my nostrils dilated, a color cume Into my cheek and n spark into my eye. I was about to say some Co. thing (llxnto'penble when 1 rcmemherc that there was no contract bet wee Klonnnr and me whatever. She might receive flowers from Old Nick ff she liked. So I recovered myself RUlUclently to make it appear that 1 was Indifferent When she saw that 1 would not nsk from whom the gift came she told me that Hathaway had sent them. Until away was a newcomer In the place, was good looking, dressed well, and all the girls snt up and took notice of him. I damned him wltb faint praise, made my cnll very short and went to my room uneasy. It occurred to me that sometimes these affairs between the sexes come iilmut very suddenly When a fellow Sends a girl flowers It may he a sign that he Is getting ready to propose. 8 tin day afternoon I had been a ecus tomed to spend with Eleanor. I deter mined that tho next Sunday afternoon I would endeavor to find out how far the affair between her and Huthmvuv had gone. Usually when I called the mtild ushered me Into the drawing room. This Sunday 1 was shown Into the library. There was n writing desk there, and a letter addressed and stamped lay on It I glanced ut the superscription and saw that it was for Llathaway and the writing was Idea nor's. Evidently the affair had gone much faster and much further than might have been expected. I wondered If the letter were not an acceptance of a pro posul. It Is said that a raw recruit will become panic stricken at the first sound of a gun. A lover is naturally a coward, and I was no exception to the rule. 1 trembled. I paced back and forth In a great dread, now and again looking at the letter, which Inv on the desk mocking me. 1 could scarcely refrnln from taking It up and throwing It In the (ire that blazed uiur rily on (lie hearth. Presently Eleanor came In. She seemed a bit annoyed at seeing her letter on the desk and said: "It was so cold this morning that in stead of writing In my room 1 wrote here, where it Is warm." Leaving ber letter where It lay, she took a Heat before the lire and began to chat about the weather. 1 sat down on a sofa a trltlu further than she from the blaze, for my cheeks were wann enough already. 1 tried to say some thing, but that confounded letter In Ilnthawny stared me In the face and tongue lied me. If 1 said anything it was disconnected and Irrelevant Klt-u uor did not share in my embarrusH uient She was evidently enjoying the genial wurmth, not appearing to care whether I talked, talked disconnected ly or did uot talk at all. I was badly rattled. I wanted to get In a proposal before that letter was posted. Had 1 retained my equanimity I would have felt assured that If Elea nor had received n proposal from Hath away and bad replied to it favorably anything I could say would not be like ly to alter her decision, if she had replied lu the negative there was uoth Ing to do in the premises. But 1 was lu no coudltloD of mind to make a pro posal. Proposals, except where they are a mere matter of form or at a ven lure, come from the heart The lady Is sympathetic, coos, and tbe man feels something welling up lu bis bosom that comes out tu a declaration. Hut I was disgruntled and Eleanor didn't coo. 1 couldn't propose. After sihmhI lug half nn hour lu this fnshlou I arof to go. "Would you mind posting a tetter for me?" naked Eleanor in an Indifferent tone. This was too much. "Yes." 1 said, "I would mind posting a letter which I have reason to believe Is a reply to an offer. This man llsth a way's attentions to you have been per fectly plain. I, who have been long ilo voted to you, have been suddenly thrust aside" Hut enough The Ice was hroken, Eleanor soothed me. I went on throw ing off n lot of senseless talk love talk, such ns lovers have spoken fmm time Immemorial and which, were It coherent, would uut be love. Eleanor enve wny before It, and Instead or leaving her disgruntled 1 remained till II o'clock that night finally departing engngod. Some time after our marring? ! found the letter to tlsthnway plfronhoUM I took It to my wife and asked ber If 1 might rend It She gave me s smil ing permission. I opened it sud tk out a sheet of blank paper, I looked at ber surprised.
