As a youth I wan diffident, ovwrn-iixi
live, Imaginative, romantic. My moth
er wii vory much troubled for fi-ar I
would mnrry moiiiu kI rl with nothing to
ni'ommi'iul Iiit hut a pretty fnf. 1
used to think that he wished me to
marry Murgan-t Imiiw, who know how
lo new it ml cook nnl do a lot of practi
cal tlilmta In whli H I took no Interest.
1 nil Iiit admired (Jwendolln Gerniuiu.
Jwemlolln wan a tender flower, Jnut
nu ll a girl a a limn like to take mi
dor hla protection. Hit cheek was not
round and rosy, hut there waa a little
iihIh rod In l; center like a roNchud
tainted on a chjua cup. with lips of the
mime hue.
The time came when I made up my
mind that unlesn I could win Gwondo
I in my life would he a failure. I wax
hut twenty, and thut'a very young f.r
a man to feel ttiat hi hapInea la
bound up for life In one person. How
ever, I proved my constancy ly years
of devotioo to the Image I had act up
In my heart. Fearing tliat I could not
expreag inyaelf with autllcletil delicacy
to itnpreaa one w young, no modest, ao
ten lor, I wrote my proosal la a letter.
I was aeveral days composing It, and
when finished I left It for another day
on my desk In order to read It once
more before posting It.
I was auUdeniy called away, and
when I returned the letter wus gone.
I nsked my mother what had hecuiuo
of it, and h!io aid that it had been
(HMted with a hutch of letter that hud
u vu M-ht to the mull while 1 waa
away from home. With ttila 1 wag
content and confident that (jwendulln
lii.il received it u ml waited anxiously
for u reply.
V. h ii I met my love a train 1 waa
tniK h embarrassed. My liniigluatlou
i:.:ide ber ncciii to me cold, eveu of-
l'c:idi d. mid aa ahe made no reference
ti my loiter it oii um-d to me that for
iome reas .ii l Imagined a doieu she
w.ri di fpieused with my proposal.
I did not cu 11 ugaln, and within a year
her family left the place where I lived
hi. J h.; went with lUein. My heart
wc::t with her. I lived on a bachelor.
My lumber fretuenl!y Invited Mar-
caret l euue to our house, and 1 could
ve tlutt hlie waa Uitcutionally placing
iicr iu uiy way. Margaret accepted
wlmiever nftciii'.on 1 pave her, which
r.is im: iiiiuh. but wheu I waa on
ii'.i'io.'ul of Iicr she did not seem to
notice It. As the year passed I made
a l rieii'l or her. but It urn not occur to
me to make love to her.
When I wan thirty tny mother died.
Before Iter death she made me confession.
"My dearent boy," she said, "before
I die I wish your forgiveness. Ten
year apo I saw that you were about to
iliirf. se a companion for life who would
not i: akc you happy. I kept the letter
you wrote to Gwendolln Germain, hop
his to Rain time to direct your atten
tion to Margaret Dcoiie. Ten years
have paused, and every year I nave In
tended to send your letter to Gwen
dolln. I hnve never done so till today.
By tomorrow morning she will know
for the first time of your proposal, but
by that time I shall have left you free
to ellipse for yourself."
And so my mother, to whom I waa so
devoted, had caused me ten years of
misery. I forpn o her and did not utter
a word of complaint. Indeed, the pain
I suffered nt her fuss neutralized any
feeling of regret for my long suffering.
The day after I laid her in the grave
I took up a number of letters that had
accumulated -mostly of condolence
and among thorn was one from Gwen
d.iliu. It brought the first of different
sensations from what I had experienced
slme the beginning of uiy mother1! Ill
ness. But with it came the remem
brance f whnt my mother must have
endured from her distaste for my
choice. Margaret had been with her
constantly In her last days and had
comforted her as If she hud been her
own daughter.
I felt an Inclination to complete the
sacrifice my mother had brought about
by acceding to her wishes and giving
Marguret the option of being my wife.
But I was bound In honor to Gwendo
lln as well as by love. Iu her letter she
asked me to come and see her if I felt
so Inclined.
A few days later I went to see her.
She still lived with her family, who
were wealthy more so than when I
had parted from her in a stately man
sion. It was evening when I called,
aud I was ushered Into a private ir
lor. In a few minutes a bony, sallow,
scrawuy woman came Into the room,
dressed In the height of fashion, be
decked with Jewels, her hands covered
with rings. I barely recognized Gwen
dolln aud would not have done so had
sho uot preserved the rosebud In her
cheek by a touch of paint.
, "So your poor mother has gone," she
"said. "What a silly thing to keep your
letter from me! Just as If I were
counting on you. You were lovely as a
hoy, I admit; but, you kuow; jwipa has
always brought me up to understand
that I must marry money, and of
course that would not Include you. But
we can be friends, you know. Just
now I'm without a cavalier that is,
one that I fancy aud you must come
often, and you shall be my attemlunt.
People will talk, you know; but you
mustn't mind that"
There was a good deal more that I
did not hear. In due time I escaped,
and had no sooner got home thau I set
myself to work to win the heart of
Margaret I Vane. I found that it had
been mine for years.
God bless my mother and her sin.
WHEN men are drawn together in the army, you
find out a lot about their likes and dislikes. It's
always been a great place for the spread of W-B
CUT popularity. They show each other why you
shouldn't take more than a Unit chew of W-B CUT.
Every shred is chwk full of sap; a big chew is too rich.
They take to W-B CUT, strong; nothing is too good
for our soldiers.
