D
WRIGLEYS
Doctor Aiusdeiu dropped into the
misty chasm of slumber tn less than
fifteen minutes after getting to bed.
But that fifteen minutes had been
spent In strenuous command, on the
pnrt of the objective mind, that the
subjective mind should go, at precieely
nine o'clock, to the home of Miss
Foote, present Itself In the exact and
correct Image of the lover, and make
uti ardent appeal to the affections of
the lady.
hi about twq hours Amsden awoke,
bathed In perspiration, and feeling
thoroughly exhausted. He wus not
couxetoux of having dreamed ul all,
nnd yet It seemed to him as If he had
Just shaken off a most horrible nlfht-
mure. He rose feum Ids bed ami con

Lt wus Just ten
o'clock. "Thank heuven." be cried,
"I did not wake before the time!" He
went buck to bed, and fell Instantly
Into the deep slumber of complete ex­
haustion. from which he did not wake
until late the next morning.
For two days he did not see Miss
Foote. Then lie summoned up cour­
age to call upon her. She came down
stulrs looking pule and anxious, and
tho moment that Amsden'» eyes fell
upon her his heart began to throb with
suffocating violence. Undoubtedly Ida
exi<rlment had succeeded us fur us
the proposal
wus concerned—but
should Ids attitude be that of the ac­
cepted or rejected lover?
Hnrdly noticing Ids stammering ex­
pressions of solicitude for her altered
looks, Miriam led the way Into the
drawing room, and, motioning him to
a chair, seated herself In u dim corner
at the other side of the room. Then,
with her blue eyes lowered and her fin­
gers twisting nervously, she said:
"Doctor Amsden, I owe you an
apology. When you called two nlgtits
ago and asked me to be your wife J
wus too much agitated to answer you.
To tell the truth." she continued, red
denlng a little, "the eloquence of your
words, their poetry nnd melody, so
surprised and overcame me thut 1
could not answer as you deserved.
When 1 left you and walked to the
other aide of the room it was only that
I might guln possession of myself, and
when I looked up and found you
gone—”
"Gons!" exclaimed Amsden, groan­
ing audibly.
"Yes. gone like a spirit (here Miss
Foote paused, while Amsden clutched
at bls chair, feeling as though his
whole body were turning to sand and
dribbling down upon the floor) with­
out a word of good-by, I feared that
I had mortally offended you and that
you would never come back to—”
"Then you were not angry because

You wanted ms to come back? But

"I—I think you ought to know,” said
the girl, blushing.
And the next moment Doctor Ams­
den was kneeling at her feet.
“I did It In a dream—no, I don't
mean that—I mean this is a dream.
I ought to explain."
"No, don't try. I understand." said
Miriam softly.
The girl's head sank forward on his
shoulder. She was crying a little, but
she suffered her lover's arms to slip
around her waist, and Into Ids trem­
bling hand she pressed her own.
Lt was done, the Impossible, the in­
conceivable ! And even Amsdt-n felt
In his heaving heart that be had never
done anything so ensy and so utterly
delightful In his whole life.
।
It «as true that Miriam did not un-
dcritand. but Amsden felt that at sucli
u Juncture any explanations would be
not merely out of place, but even in­
delicate.
To his credit be it said, however,
that on one occasion before his mar­
riage be attempted to confess to
Mlrlsm all the circumstances of hts
proposal; but while he was still strug­
gling with his Introduction she stopped
him with a pre-emptory gesture.
"I don't understand a word about
subjective and objective minds.” she
said. In a wounded voice. “All 'I know
Is thut you made me the most beauti­
ful proposal I had ever heard—I mean
imagined—but of course If you want
to take It back by saying that you
were not responsible at the time—”
Whereupon Amsden was obliged to
consume two delightful hours in as­
suring Ids sweetheart that he wits a
blundering fool, and that his meta­
physical nonsense, translated, meant
that It wns his best self that had
made that eloquent proposal, and thut
he wax only afraid his every day self
was not one-tenth good enough for her.
