My Two
Love Affairs
By JOHN VERNHAM
That last evening in the library. It
was, to say the least, feverish. I was
to start for China the next day, to be
gone how long no one knew. A man
about to go to a foreign country to
live permanently would not think of
buying a house in the country from
which he departs, but I thought noth
ing of engaging myself to a girl be
tween whom and me would be half the
globe and water at that neither of
us having the wherewithal! to reach
each other.
It was early spring, and wood blazed
on the hearth. We drew a sofa up be
fore the fire and sat locked in a con-
tinuous embrace. I told her that the
moment my salary reached a sufficient
figure I would come home and take
her back with me. I thought it might
be a year. Even that interval seemed
interminable to both of us. -
Happy youth happy in not know
ing what lies before it! Had some
unkind fairy shown me a picture of
the future I would have been miser
able. As it was, I lived in a delirium
of joy, marred only by those twelve
long months that were to intervene be
fore I could return to claim my bride.
I was destined to pass from one con
dition to another so gently that I
would not realize the transition.
But for the moment 1 was happy and
miserable happy that I loved and was
beloved; miserable that I must be part
ed from her to whom I had given my
whole being. But there was a kind of
delight even in my misery. Young per
sons sometimes find pleasure in mis
ery; old persons never do, or if they
do it is because by exhibiting their mis
ery they may make those about them
miserable.
The small hours were growing lar
ger when, after a long kiss, I tore my
self away and after two or three hours'
sleep was driven to the ship on which
I was to sail.
I went on board with a heart like
lead. My heart was not only heavy,
but there was a smell of bilge water.
The weather was bad too. Neverthe
less I remained in the clouds, not rose
ate clouds, but lowering clouds. The
face of my fiancee was still floating
among them, and I was floating with
her. My surroundings had not yet
destroyed this mingled happiness and
misery. For awhile longer 1 lived in
the clouds.
My first coming down to earth oc
curred on the third day out For two
days the sea was smooth, and I wrote
love letters most of the time, to be
mailed when we should reach the first
port. Then the waves began to dance
about us and I fell from lovesickness
to seasickness. And oh, what a fall
was there! My dreams were dissipat
ed. I didn't care to live long enough
to return to claim my bride. I wished
the ship would sink and swallow me
up in oblivion.
When I recovered 1 didn't resume
my love letters. I concluded that I had
enough written to make a sizeable
packet I sat on deck in a steamer
chair, where 1 could keep my eyes on
the ocean surface, for in this way I
avoided seeing things turned topsy
turvy. I could think of the girl I left
behind me if I wanted to. but 1 prefer
red to concentrate my mind on mathe
matical problems for the purpose of
avoiding that confounded seasickness.
Meanwhile we were sailing on. In
time the voyage was over and I was
in Shanghai, a clerk in an American
mercantile house. I - wasn't worth
much to the concern. Indeed, I would
require to learn enough of the busi
ness to be of any value in it I kept
myself up during this year In an oc
casional dream of some future happy
day when 1 would return to claim my
bride. But she and I had different
worlds about us, nothing in short to
keep us together, and we fell apart
I have forgotten who wrote the last
letter, but I think I did.
A bachelor may keep, or at least
appear, quite young at forty. My hair
at that age was not at all gray, and
I kept it cut short I was also always
well shaved. 1 returned to America
with a competence not for the girl 1
had expected to make my wife, for she j
had been married eighteen years. I
reached America In summer time and
went to the mountains where I would
find a pure, dry air, which I hoped
would take some of the Chinese lethar
gy out of me.
I met a girl about the same age as
the one I had left twenty years ago.
I was flattered that she set her cap
for me. I wasn't very old, and I was
well able to support a wife. The love
making between us, at least on my
part had not the freshness, the zest
of my first affair, but it was very
pleasant
My fiancee was chaperoned by a
sharp featured woman with a sharp
voice, who was having her strength
sapped by the care of six children,
or rather four, for the two oldest
thought they knew how to think for
themselves. Soon after we were engag
ed I was introduced to this lady, who,
in offering me congratulations, said:
"I congratulate you, especially on
making an engagement that is practi
cable this time." '
"This time!"
"Yes. Your first was ridiculous,
considering that yon were going to
live on the other side of the world."
"What do you know about that af
fair?' "I should know all about It since I
am the voman you were engaged to
when vou sailed for China."

CONTRACT HOPS HOLD
STRONG AT21 CENTS
The contract nop market holds to
20J 21c, and the demand is strong
Such orders are not alone from Amer
ican sources, but from foreign sour
ces as well. When it is taken into
consideration that buyers are accept
ing short sale contracts, it clearly
proves that they are unable to secure
regular contracts with growers, and
likewise proves their anxiety to cover.
Just how much of these paper sales
have been made to date it is not pos
sible to determine, but it porbably has
been large.

- Haddock Marks.
Why do haddocks carry those pe
culiar black "finger Tnarks" near the
bead? Some tell us that they are a
memento of the pressure of St Peter's
fingers when he went fishing for the
tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast
of England they say the devil once de
termined to build a bridge at Filey.
His Satanic majesty did not start the
bridge for the convenience of the peo
ple, but for the destruction of ships
and sailors and the annoyance of fish
ermen ill general. In the progress of
his work Old Nick dropped his ham
mer into the sea. Snatching at it has
tily, he caught "a haddock, and all bad
docks carry the Imprint of his black
fingers to this day.
Doing Rome.
"How long did it take you to do
Rome?" "About twice as long as it
took Rome to do us." Life.
