MORNING JSNTEUPmafc, TUENlUY, MAV Us 1911. ACourtshibff A ....... X . That Came la Like ' Lamb and Went Oat Like a Don By EMMA THURSTON Copjrrtcht ky American Pnn elation, lau. - la mjr girlhood there were very few field open to women, and we were ' aot ambitious to occupy ' those w wer at liberty to enter. A wo ma a would at that tlm rather rely on a mao for ber Hving than on ber own exertion I am on of those who be lieve that women are Oiled for the homo and ar oot fitted for making tbelr own Urine. When Wilbur Ernst cam courtlug me persuaded myself that I loved blm. ponaiMy becauwe It was to my Interest to love blm. Ue was a strong cba racier. At any rat. ha bad a strong will, and I suppose tba former cannot axist without the latter. It seemed to me that be was Just the kind of bosbeod for a weak wo man Uk myself I would be couteut to let blm breast the battle of tbe world for us both, and that was Just I BSTBATtD TUB WOBI "BO." what ha llbxl I millU k ..-. . w .vwfu ILK VJ Ulf J be talked that be bad very UtUe re spect for women's opinions In busl nesa matters, and be would not be likely to consult me about bis affairs But I realised that I could not belp . blm In this respect, and 1 bad no de ire to do so. My department would be tbe borne, where I would bare all tbe responsibility. It would seem from what ( bare said that Wilbur and I would be eap Malrv flttea rnr Hrh nthr Rm . t make assurance doublr sure there la always between couples the engage ment period. Tet. I am free to say. sometime, like tbe month of March reversed. It cornea In like a lamb and goes eat like a lion. I refer to cases where couples quarrel and break with each other before marriage. Wilbur aald that, of course, after a ' betrothal with blm 1 must drop any of any old flames. 1 bad bat one Ed ward Tocker and be didn't count, be cause I considered bim too mncb like myself. At any rate, he was very lacy I thought my dance might bare left It to me to drop my old flames without requiring me to do no. However, in Wllber I bad what I-tbougbt I should have a man to manage me and 1 in tended to teU Edward tbe next time be came to see sue that be-needn't call again. But somehow 1 couldn't It was I who should bar liked to mate with Edward If be hadn't been so easy go ing. He hadn't been making lore to me at least not for some time and It would seem out of place for DM to d la ta las a man who was not a suitor. Be sides, we bad long been friends. So when be called again I utterly failed to say anything about his keeping away from m. 1 made a clean breast of tbe matter to Wilbur and saw the corners of bis mouth come down and bis chin stick out like tbe map of Spain. It was evident that here was a case for bis strong will to bolster up my weak one. lie made a remark with Just a little bit of an edge on it. but I was sur prised that instead of being strength ened I was nettled. He admitted that tbe matter required of me waa embar rassing, but essential. Doubtless I would screw my courage op to tbe sticking point In time. 1 didn't say anything In reply, but doubted that 1 could screw up my courage. There was Just a little March breeze about this, but tbua far there had- been so much April softness that I didn't think the season could go bsckward and our courtship go out with a blast. About this time June came on. tbe month of roses and marriages, though Wilbur and I were not to be married till the following autumn. He bad I greed t upend a couple of weeks bin racst'on with me during the summer either In tbe mountains or at tbe sea shore or any place I, might select This. pleased me rery much, and I told blm I would tbtnk over tbe places at which I should like to spend this hap py period and let blm know before It should be Osae to go. But unfortunate ly among my other weaknesses la la decision, and for my life I could at make up my mind w be ber I preferred tbe mounts I ua or tbe seuor I knew a plat- lo tbe former that was. ter fectly lovely, but tbe hotel waa bid Then I knew a place at tbe seashore where the bote! at which I should wish to stop was excelleut. but a wutnttii went there every summer whom I Ue tested, and I couldn't bear tbe Idea of being ahut up with ber under the ssuw roof. . k . c The 1st of July came round, and I bad derided nothlug Wilbur esked me oue day what I had done, and I aald I had been unable to settle on anything. I asked blm to decide the I matter "I know nothing about summer bo tets." be replied. "I've never bad oc casion to use one of tbeut. Yoif mutt settle on the piece." Ue bad arranged for bis outing for two awoke from-the tith of July Just before tbe time to go be waa rery bus getting ready to be absent from buni ness, and I didu't see blm for a week Then he came around on the evtulng of the Hih of July and asked where we were going. I told blm I didn't know There waa a floe March wind be tween us I told blm that I bad en gaged myself to a strong character that I might have some one to relr on In such matter, and be asked me whit matters I Intended to take under my own care. This made me rery augry I told him that I could make up my mind quick enough If I wished to. and I settled on tbe p!ace In a twinkling He asked me to name It, and I told blm I would drop blm a tine. The next morulog at o I took a train for the mountains. A few daya after I reached my destination I wrote biui where 1 waa and that I should be bappy to see him. He wrote that be bad de cided to gire up his vacation since be waa rery busy and really should not take tbe time Tbia came pretty near tuaklug a per manent break between us. I was miffed at baring been called upou to take tbe Initiative. Rut our betrothal survived It and wben I returned to the city all was made up between us It looked as If we should bare April weather after tbia.- but one evening an other wind came up a good deal fresh er than anything we ha) yt expert enced and ended In a tornado. A cer tain performance at tbe theater was to be given that I wished very much to see. bought two sests and tele phoned Wilbur that I wished blm to go with me to tbe play. He replied that be bad a business engagement for the evening and couldn't go I asked him what I should do. and be replled througb the telephone, mind - you. so that tbe whole world could bear that he was too busy to ad viae me and that If I intended to rely on blm through Ofe for little things like that be would carry a load . That provoked me. Before I bad time to get over my buff I bad tele phoned to Ed Tucker and asked blm to be my attendant He aald be should be delighted. I bad no sooner reretr ed his answer than I was called np by Wilbur to say that be bad succeeded m patting off bis business engagement and would be with me for tbe theater. How could I be expected to know what to say to blm at once and over a telephone? I didn't say anything but -Well" or "All right" or some thing tike that, and be. being in a bar ry, abut me off. i I couldn't make up my mind what to do In the matter, being rather weak about aucb things, and bslf an boor before It wss time to go to tbe play Ed drove up In a carriage and. carrying a bouquet of beautiful flowers, ran up the steps. I met bim at the door and took him Into tbe drawing room. I waa about to explain the position to blm when along came Wilbur. Wben be saw Ed his face looked like a tbon dercload. He said nothing to Ed. but be said a good deal to me. As soon aa be paused I tried to explain to him that I waa engaged to go to tbe the ater with both of then. At that mo ment be canght sight of tbe flowers rylng on tbe table. He looked from them to Ed. a frtrhr fnl tight shining to bis eyes; then from Ed to me He waa the maddest man I ver saw. and yet I waa not at fault at alL I hadn't even bad a chance to accept or decline tbe gift loo-sbooJd bare beard bis talk. He told me that be bad feared I waa a rery weak woman and be bad foand me not even tbe consistency of mush stood It aa ton; aa I could, getting madder every minute. Suddenly I pointed to tbe door and. with flaming eyes and cheeks, aald: i. "Cor He subsided and started In to say something pleasant but I repeated the word "Qor and aald It again and again till my voice, waa like a trumpet sounding a charge. ' became so In furiated that be feared I would throw something at biro and went out, say ing be should call again wben I bad cooled. By Jovef cried Ed. Tv long been looking for a woman to brace op my easy going nature. I've found ber at last Will you marry meT" "Yes, I wilL" I And 1 did. And so it waa that my engagement with Wilbur Ernst came In Ilk a lamb and went out like a lion. My husband, wbo baa turned out to be a man who will fight for bis own way In everything, aays I am the most ob stinate woman be ever knew. Bat one thing, to my surprise, be admits be declares that no woman can make np ber mind quicker when ah wishes to than I. and be only regrets that I won't give blm time to com to his own decision a before I spring mine upon blm. . . .

Tbia baa originated from wbat Is popularly believed to be Its babtt f pretending to be dead. In this so called feigning tbe breathing la slow and feeble, and the movement I almost roorealed by tbe thick fur. But here I think tbat popular opinion la wrong, pace 1 too limited for details, but lo stead of feigning death the animal seems to swoon with terror.
