THE BUBBLE
When Tho Mnn found tho apart
mont In which ho had been told that
Tho Girl lived ho Htood hesitating to
ring tho bell, his heart gripped by tho
Iron hand of foar, his mind leaping at
ovary posslblo nnd impossiblo explan
ation of tho prosenco of this young
woman who was so alono In tho
world nnd totally dependent upon her
own earnings for a homo In what ho
know to bo ono of tho most cxponslvo
apartment houses In tho city.
Finally ho mustered his courago and
his ring was answered by a pollto
maid who ushered him In, and took
his card with tho promlso of present
ing it to her mistress. As Tho Alan sat
waiting his oycB wandered over the
many rooms with their oxqulslto ap
pointments, nnd when Tho Girl camo
to him smilingly composed, somehow
It seemed to him that all of his world
was lifting torn from undor his foot,
and so Intonso was his suffering that
ho stood holding hor outstrotched
band and gazing Into her avortcd faco
without a word until sho shook her
self free.
"What docs It mean?" ho falterod.
"Tour letter, breaking our ongago
mont nnd this."
Ho swept tho apartment with com-'
prohenslvo gesture, and Tho Girl's
eyos followed its direction, while with
completo frankness sho told him.
"Llfo has boon vory beautiful slnco
you went away," sho told him. "At
first my thought followed you continu
ously, and my oympnthles woro with
70a In your etrugglo to make your
"What Does It
way In your now position, and I was
interested In my own work, and satis
fied with what I could earn until
well, until I was taken ill."
"111!" oxclalmod Tho Man interrupt
ing, "why didn't you tell mo?"
"During my illness," Tho Girl went
on, ignoring the interruption, "somo
ono was llko a doar guardian angel to
me, and when I was better ho mado
mo see that I was nover meant to
etrugglo through yoars of poverty with
a man of no means; mado mo see that
llfo without luxuries was a hideous
sort of thing for a woman; mado mo
understand tho greatness of his lovo
for me, nnd llttlo by llttfo my heart
wont out to him for all his kindness
to mo."
The Man was on his feet before
Tho Girl had finished, stumbling blind
ly toward tho door. When ho had
reached it ho turned and asked her in
ja tono divested of all hopo Just when
hor marrlago had taken placo.
, "Marrlago!' oxclalmod Tho Girl,
."why thoro has been no marrlago.
There are reasons why wo must
.wait -
i Sho finished hor sentenco to an
empty room.
' When Tho Man had spent sovoral
jwceks nlono with his thoughts ho
know that tho great and tender lovo
ho boro Tho Girl still lived. Ho
thought of hor youth, her beauty, hor
carofu) training In a rnflnod homo un
til th6 death of he,r parents; ho know
that $0 siren volco of wealth and
luxuryjjyfaa very swcetin.ktho,'ears pt
a woman- nnd lior'bolioved so 'firmly
that Tho Girl had boon swept off her
foot, and had uo realization that sho
was giving up overy slnglo thing In
lifo worth having, that onco moro ho
went to hor and told hor that this llfo
sho had chosen nt tho prtco of her
soul was at best but a buhblo that
would surely break, and offered her
tho protection of his name, and tho
best that ho could accomplish through
carnost work; promising that tho past
six months of hor Ufa should hn as
a closed book between them, where
upon Tho Girl laughed at his earnest
ness; assured him that somu day tho
obstacles to her marrlngo with her
lovor would bo removed, nnd declared
that, In any event, sho was qulto con
tont. Tho Lover was long attentive to
Tho Girl, nnd lnvlshed so many lux
uries upon her that sho bcrnmu sati
ated with plcasuro and so steeped In
indolcnco that sho forgot to trouhlo
over tho continued excuses for their
dolayod marrlago; forgot the flitting
of tlmo until ono day sho learned from
tho dally press as any casual reader
might havo done that tho mnn In
whoso keeping sho had placed her llfo
and Its honor had married a brilliant
woman whom society respected and
had gono abroad for his honeymoon.
At first Tho Girl thought thero must
bo some horrible mistake somo con
fusion of names perhapB but such a
hopo was shortlived.
Dismissing her maid from tho apart

lence and luxury had added so much
flesh that all semblance of tho once
slim and graceful figure was gone.
Suddontly sho romembered Tho Man,
and his stricken face as ho had loft
hor In that long ago yesteryear. Tho
lino and beautiful thing ho had dona
in offering her his namo in the faco of
the lifo sho had chosen struck hor for
tho first tlmo with Us full significance,
and all thoro was of holiness loft In
her heart rose In prayer to God that
it might not bo too late.
Tho letter sho wroto Tho Man wob
blottod with tears. When sho mailed
It a senso of poaco stolo Into her ach
ing heart until tho days went by, ono
aftor another, and thero camo no an
swer. Tho days longthonod into
weeks; tho weeks Into months, and
the months into years, and as Tho
Girl still waited rcspectablo women
drew asldo their skirts and men gave
her a cynical smllo as sho camo down
stop by step to her small room in a
third-class boarding houso where she
sits alone In hor ostracism, watching
with hungry eyes tho happiness of
protected wives, hearing tho Iaughtor
of llttlo children, and thinking of her
own herltago given in exchange for a
gay llttlo bubblp that was euro quick'
ly to break.

Somewhat Sarcastic.
An Idaho' guido whoso services woro
retained by somo wealthy young East
ornors desirous of hunting in tho
Northwest evidently took them to bo
tho greenest of tenderfect, slnco he
undertook to chaff them with a reci
tal something as follows:
"It was my first grizzly, so I was
mighty proud to kill him In a hand to
hand struggle. Wo started to fight
about sunrise. When ho Anally gave
up the ghost tho sun was going down."
At this point the guide paused to
noto tho effect of his story. Not a
word was sa!d by the Easterners, so
tho guide added vory slowly, "for tho
second tlmo."
"I gather, then," said ono young gen
tleman, a dapper llttlo Oostonlan,
"that It required a period of two days
to enable you to dispose of that griz
zly." "Two duys and a night," said tho
guide, with a grin. "That grizzly died
mighty hard."
"Chopped to death?" asked tho Flos
tonlnn. "Yes, sir," said tho gutdo.
"Pardon me," continued tho Hub
Ito, "but what did you try to get him
to swallow?"
Where the Damage Was.
"You say tho automobile struck
you?" asked tho Judge.
"Yas, Judgo, It shuro did strlko mo,
all right," replied tho colored man In
court.
"Whoro did It strlko you?"
"In tho hald, Judgo."
