AN AFRICAN SHORT STORY
A story wonderfully dramatir and
vivid and surpassing anything written
by American Negro short story writ
ers. Clipped from the Sierra Leon
AA'eekly News.
The tropical moon shone down upon
the cool, wide, open veranda, and upon
tre bowed head resting on the wicker
madeira table.
The night breeze filled the air with
a fragrant odor of orange blossoms,
whilst it fanned her crinkly hair and
played about her hot temples. He was
out. But then—he was always out;
and habit becomes second nature!
Tonight, however, the loneliness
seemed almost unbearable. As a rat
gnaws a rope till it snaps asunder, so
the tension on hei heart strings,
seemed to have reached its utmost
limit, and—anything might happen.
The air was full of the buzz of tropi
cal insects, and every now and again,
a sharp squeal and a scuttle, told her
only too plainly, that she had compan
ionship—of a sort. But how her heart
yearned for some human solace, some
understanding soul; someone to whom
she could let herself go—to whom ."he
could give out the whole pent up force
of years of unrequited love!
Something fluttered to her feet.
The wind had blown down her hus
■ hand’s photograph, and had flung it
, across her path. Should she leave it
j lying there? No! That was not the
| place, for the man she had chosen—
| then!
Sre was about to pick it up, when
I she realized for the first time, that
; she was not alone.
Tennis shoes are noiseless and the
| tropical veranda generally devoid of
locked doors. She took in at a glance,
the tall white-clad figure and the
fine, black face, with its look of stern
resolution, and for a moment the heart
seemed to stop beating altogether.
Compassion would have been far eas
ier to face, than the rigid determina
tion depicted on every feature. “What
right have you here—after dinner?”
she demanded tremulously.
“Ten years ago you gave me the
right to come and gat will. Why not
j now ?”
Her thoughts flew back to their
j brief courtship, when she remembered
what a gentleman he had been to her
throughout. Why—oh why had she
“dismissed him.”
“Olla! answer my question!” he went
on stemiy “Why can’t I come to <*e
j you sometimes when—when you are
alone?”
For answer she stooped to pick up
the- photo, hut quick as lightning he
intercepted her and would have torn
it to shreds had she not prevented him
j by laying her throbbing hand on his
| throbbing arm.
“How dare you? How dare you?”
she gasped.
“Because I dare anything—for your
sake!
“I saw him just now, anei—he had
companionship! But you—you are al
ways alone.”
“Olla!” he went cn passionately,
"you are starving—literally starving!
Your lovely tender, womanly instincts,
are being shrivelled up, like crumpled
rose petals before a merciless north
wind! I have come tonight to supply
your need! Don’t send me away—
hungry. Why waste any more thought
on him ? Does he—does he—does he
ever think about you?"
“Two wrongs do not make a right!”
I she murmured, faintly; but as she
poke, she was suddenly obsessed with
an aw ful sense of fear.
She, who had fought many and
many a hattle single handed; she who
had faced unflinchingly dangers,
which would have made most women
quail, was now overwhelmed with fear
—perhaps the worst fear of all—the
fear of wrong doing.
How she longed for the support of
the strong manly arms. .-tretched nut
so invitingly towards her; how she
yearned to pillow her weary head
against his broad shoulder; to lose her
feminine weakness, in his splendid
muscular strength!
He, watching her every movement,
w ith eyes like two fiery lanterns shin
ing out of cavernous depths, noticed
the visible signs of yielding. The
drooping head, the tremulous mouth,
the supple form, the irresolute atti
tude; and with one quick forward
movement, he would have caught her
to him, when—a shrill like cry rent
t. e air.
“Mamma! Mamma! I’m frightened!
1 want some comfort, please!”
The woman wavered—swayed by
two conflicting forces—the desire to
submerge her divinity in her human
ity, and—the desire to still be— di
vine!
Slowly she regained her composure.
“Go!” she said simply. "My baby
needs me!”
The man stood rooted to the spot.
“So do I.” he thundered—a thousand
times more than she does!”
“No you are wrong! There are oth
er women in the world—so many!
Not for me. “He was desperately
angry, and her calmness maddened
him.
"Oh, yes there are! Are you not
a man, and are you not a black man?
For you—there are other women in
the world, hut any little girl has—
only one mother. Good bye!
The moon shone down w ith renewed
splendor upon the bowed head, and
tearless eyes of the lonely woman on
the veranda. CREOLKNE.
