FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1905. 6 THE MORNING ASTORIA N,"ASTOKI A , OREGON. Three Roses and Another By JOANNA SINGLE Dr. Jobu Puubaui knew what be dk not want lie could also instautly reo ogrilze what be did want when be saw it These traits bad been of use to hiu' In' working bis way tbrougb col lope tb rough medical school after that auO Into a flourishing practice now twc years old. ' In lore at In business it was tb' same, only the girls be bad thus fat met were undoubtedly the ones be diO not want Dr. John's black gray eye were always on the silent quest of at unknown girl the .thought of whom bt linked with the thought of rose. Sb did not appear. lie was thirty-two and beginning to think he bad missed bei and way deckling to devote bis spare time entirely to rose culture when the so longer expected happened. In September he went, with a col league, Frederick Mayne, M. P to a medical convention in St Louis. Seat ed at the fonual banquet be looked up, just across the table, at ber! And then be seemed to have always known that she was small and blond, with the sweet delicacy of a pink tea rose, . that ber head was poised like a flower and that breeding and courage showed in every feature and gesture. Instantly the thought of ber as hi? mounted to bis head like wine, and hit look met hers with an Intensity that made her eyes droop. He turned cool ry to Mayne beside Llin and said in a low tone: "Look carefully at this ring on my finger, and don't glare up. I want tc ask a question. Who la she?" Strangely enough, Mayne knew whe "be" was. "Dean Carroll's daughter. Rose," bt replied. Then as they both looked up carelessly he continued, "I may as well tell you that I shall try to get her." Choking back a senseless anger, trying to realise that Mayne bad as good a right to want her as he, Dunham an swered quietly: j - "And I may as well tell you that you j have me to work against I shall do my best" At the reception following John Pun ham accosted bis old professor. Dean Carroll, shook hands and asked: "Doctor, please introduce me to your daughter." " . "Certainly, my boy with pleasure. But" and the old man laughed "I warn you!" "It's everlastingly too late, doctor. All I ask of you is not to tell ber 1 wanted to meet h?r and not to praise me to ber." The serious eyes of the 'young man checked the old man's figlle. "Upon my aoul! I believe you're in earnest.1" "I warn you that I am." Dean Car roll looked Dr. John Dunham over carefully from head to foot Then be eld out his hands. "I wish you luck," be said slowly "You're as open now as you were dur ing the four years I knew you at col lege and in your success since. Your tactics are worthy of a general and victory. Come along. But perhaps you'd like me first to suggest to ber that you're a dangerous character?" John laughed contentedly. Better that than encomiums." . Rose Carroll met ber father's old pu pil none the less graciously because be was tall and strong and because the heavy, dark hair framing his handsome face was touched with gray. In fact be was so Interesting that she met him with an armor of protective resistance beneath her graciouBness. She was used to easy victories over ber admir ers, but not anxious, though she was en the alert, for her own Waterloo. There was time enough for that John began well. While deferential, he was not adoring; while entirely ap preciative, he -was not Insistent in bis enjoyment of her society, which be accepted with a sort of seemingly tran sient spirit of camaraderie that piqued her a little. Several times during the evening be drifted carelessly back near her and watched with amusement Mayne's breakneck endeavor to make use of his time to Impress bis rather jmnderoits personality upon th girl. Dunham asked permission to call next day. ; He did call and was carel-ssly euter talnlng. He let bimwlf go. showing bis real self, shaking of his youthful adventures in the weet of bis roses at home and leavlug a s rt of an Impres sion that be was a man Into wliow life 'women had entered little and that they "were to hiifl a sort of pleasant relaxa 'tlon from workaday cares. Hose found herself putting forth un ' usual effort- to please this man, who was not. as others, apparently iu the Heast subjugated by her charms. He ,did not stay long, but as he arose to ; iro be unwraiDd a long, slender par feel he had been holding, crushed the 'tissue paper in his fingers and put one perfect white rose into ber band, 'lie laughed down into her eyes. ' "i wanted to give you a red oue, "only" The significance of bis tone and bis hesitation made ber rise to bis throw. . "Only you didn't dare!" she finished for him. "Oh. I dared." be replied coolly, "but I thought I wouldn't-yetl The best for the last you know!" And be left her trying to decide whether be meant anything or nothing. Aa he went out he met Mayne entering wJ;b a arge floret's box, and during his call he had learned that she was leaving the next day for home. When bt reached his office bt looked up th northbound trains. Next morning at T:55 he walked uj to the station. Just around the cornet A) the platform be saw liose Carrol smiling at Mayue, who carried hei suit case and a great bunch of pint carnations. Before they saw hlui bt stepped back iuto the waiting room bought a ticket to the uext town itortl and kept out of sight until the trail came iu. He swung on the rear plat form, while Mayne. triumphant iu bb moment of favor.put the lady Into a seat and bestowed ber luggage about her As the traiu pulled out Dunham look ed from his wludow iu the smoker and beheld the idiotically adorlug face ol Mayue, who was waving his farewell Wheu be had smoked a long black cigar John Dunham sauntered ink the next car. About the middle ol the aisle he stopped suddenly at a quick exclamation: "Why, Mr. Dunham r ne looked down and saw, with ap parent surprise. Hose Carroll, blush lug and smiling. He removed his hat but- made no effort to take the seat which she had cleared for him beside her. ' "Miss Carroll! So this Is your train how pleasant! Lovely day, isn't it? "Won't you sit dowur she asked. little timidly. And he did and went on talking so carelessly and yet so meaningly, so brightly and still to seriously, that It seemed to her but a moment or two before be looked from the window and stood up. Draw lug a slender parcel from bit pocket, be unwrapped a tingle, long stemmed pink rose. "I must get off here in order to get back to an important case with your father. 1 only got on to tell you goodby.- Didn't want to Interfere with Mayne at the station. I can't compete with this floral generosity," and he laid the rose in her lap, "but this it to remind you that some day I shall bring you that red rose." He wat gone, without touching her hand In farewell. . She tat gasping pleased, astonished, half angry, but completely Interested. She looked at the pink rose. Then she tossed the caruatlout from the window and wondered bow In the world John Dunham had man iged to obtain her promise to answer Us letters. Thereafter Dunham wrote her not regularly, but when the fancy seemed to seize him whimsical, vigorous, joy ful, masculine letters, wholesomely free from all loremaklng. She an swered, and sometimes when he was! very busy be called ber up on the long distance phone In lieu of a let ter. Meantime Mayne had sent bush els of flowers, bad written ponderous ly sentimental epistles and heaved many ponderous sighs. Twice be bad gone to see his divinity, and on his last call her lack' of interest In bis elaborate mention of . Dunham raised suspicion in his slow but relentlessly logical mind. On bit return be saun tered into Dunham's office. "Morning, old man." "Morning. Mayne. Enjoy your vis it 7" How the deuce did Dunham know he'd been away Mayne hazarded a guess. "Yes, called on Miss Carroll. Write o her, don't youT" Taken off guard, Dunham admitted the soft impeach ment and was Instantly sorry. Mayne laughed with unctuous amusement "Thought you were too astute for that Bet tbe't got you going hat the! Stringing you for all sbe'a worth! Practiced hand! Great girl no end jopular. Knows how to do It, Miss Carroll." Dunham's anger rose, but be answered carelessly: "Look to yourself, Mayne. Guess I tan take care of Johnny." But after Mayne went the tide of his anger 'urged toward Rose Carroll. When te could stand It no longer be went tb the phone, closing the door of the loner office, and .called up St Louis tod Mist Carroll. After an hour's de lay be got ber and went straight to the point" , " "That you. Mist Carroll? Enow who Oils it? Yet! Lovely spring day! I want to ask you something. Forgive my bluntness, but I must know. Miss Carroll, In your letters and all bave foa meant everything or bave you ecn playing with me?" A long pause, While he listened Intently. ".No, I did not think so-I simply ask ed. I have not the time nor the tem per to play. You will forgive me for Asking you? No, I can't tell you what made me think of such a thing. Yes, tome day I will. Certainly I believe on! What? May I? May I come his week? Of course I want to! But ( can't reach you till Saturday even hig and will have to start back Sunday morning. It's a long way, and connec tions are bad. All right goodby till Saturday!" At 4 In the afternoon of June 1 John Dunham stepped from hit train at St Louis and went to a hotel to get rid of his travel stains and appease his hunger. About 7 be emerged faultlessly -at tired, visited a florist and took-a cab to Dean Carroll's stately eld borne. Rose came to him In the dim candle light of the library, a vision in shim mering gray. He bad Intended meet ing ber In his usual easy way, but the clamor of his heart and the wine of a certain proud yielding in the glance of her blue eyes swept blm into speech lessness. He stood long looking at her, her band still In his. Then he drop(ed the small baud back at ber aide and strode out into the hall. Iu a moment he came back and clasp ed her warm little fingers about the stem of a glowing red rose. ' "The red rose," he said simply "the time for it it now, isn't it?" be ques tioned quiet!, stepping pack with his trms straight at hit side to lodk at her 'Isn't It time, dear?" he Insisted, "Ye. sue murmured. "I"- And as she did not flulsh, with a sudden long ing he held out both his hand to her. "Will you. come. Rose?" With the pride of a str.all queen, Roue Carroll laid ber two bind In his. faaaM la a, MlnUlratit.
