l A Spell
! Broken
It Enthralled a Man
to His Discomfort
| By MARJORIE CLOUGH
When 1 was a boy of seven wy
mother took me away from our home
with her to live elsewhere. 1 did not
know what it meant at the time, but
us I grew older 1 learned that my
parents hud had a misunderstanding
»nd hud separated. When I was six
teen my mother drew me down beside
her and, with her arms about me and
her cheek against mine, said to me:
"Frank, dear, I am going to make »
great sacrifice for you. Your father,
who is very rich, has made me a prop
osition that If 1 will give you up to
him he will make you his heir. But
our family misfortune—our separation
—has made him very bitter against
women. 1 shall not enter into the
cause of our living apart, since I don’t
wish to prejudice you against him.
1 would rather have you think that
the fault was all mine.
“However Jj^is may be, your father’s
repugnance for tny sex has taken a
singular form, I sometimes think that
in this respect his brain has been af
fected. If you go to him and he
makes a will in your favor your in
heritance will depend upon your liv
ing a single life.”
"My dear mother," I r .jiled, cling
ing to lie!'. -I prefer to remain with
you and let father leave his money to
some one else. As for marrying, I
only ask to be with yon ns long as
you li've. After that I care not wheth
er 1 marry or remain single."
But my mother, who knew better
than I the value of money, persuaded
me to go. though I consented only on
condition that I be permitted to visit
her whenever I chose.
My father said to me never a word
about our family trouble or the condi
tions under which I came to him, but
he sent me to a lawyer, who showed
me a copy of tile will he had Just
made. In this 1 was made his sole
heir on condition of my not being mar
ried at tbe time of his death, but in
the event of my being afterward mar
ried I was required to turn over the
property to a charitable institution
which he had already endowed and
which bore his name.
My father did not mention m/ moth
er except when it became necessary to
refer to her in the ordinary course, of
conversation and then not in the lqast
disrespectfully. Indeed, he said to me
one day. “Your mother is one of the
best of her sex.”
So long ns I lived with my mother 1
associated with girls as other boys did.
but while with my father 1 was not
thrown in with them. and. knowing
his pi'Hwdlee against them, 1 naturally
chose my associates from my own sex.
But while during my stay with my
mother I * aired very little about girls
I bad no: been long deprived of their
society In .ore I begun to look upon
the forbidden fruit as sweet.
\Vo lived In a city, and my room,
which was in the rear of the bouse,
looked out upon the rear of the dwell
ings facing on another street. Fate,
who is always interfering in our af
fairs. must needs place at a window of
the house directly back of ours a very
nrett.v girl, hist budding. When I first
went to live with m.v father she sat
there with her doll. But that was only
for a brief period, and it was not lohg
before one day when she caught sight
of me looking at her she appeared
thoroughly conscious of my admira
tion.
It did not occur to me that my look
ing at a girl through a baek window
was fraught with danger. The fact
that 1 expected never to marry was no
reason why I should not look at a girl,
and this girl was especially fair to see.
Besides. I sometimes saw her with
others on a rear porch or in the little
yard below, and all her motions were
singularly graceful. As she chased her
friends about or was chased by them,
playing tag or some other game, she
seemed to me a veritable fairy, and I
spent much time looking at her
through the stats of the shutters of m.v
window
But one day there came a break in
the situation. While my charmer was
playing with another little girl in the
back yard. I was concealed behind the
blinds, looking at them. The friend
made a motion or gave a look or
something toward my window that
called forth a reproof from her play
mate Alas, the fatal knowledge that
m.v little lady had something to con
tide and that something pertained to
me had been Imparted to me: That
which my father doubtless considered
an infection had entered my system.
Then followed a boyish way of
semping an acquaintance, really of
making love, though 1 had no idea
that I was doing anything of the kind.
1 procured a bow aud one day. when
1 saw my charmer in the back yard,
sent an arrow thrust through a scrap
of paper, on which 1 had expressed
a desire to make her acquaintance
Stie saw ttie arrow fall, glanced up at
m.v window and. seeing whence the
missive had come, without touching it.
went into the house. This was in the
evening. Just before dark. Early in
the morning I looked for my missive,
and there was no sign of it. 1 felt as
sured that she had taken it when it
Was too dark for me to sjte her.
What use to tell wbat every boy and
•
>ver.r girl ha* bpen through? 1 way
laid her on the street when she was
going to school, but I was then too old
to address her, too young to properly
trrange for an introduction. The coy
ness of woman was in her. and she
gave me no opportunity. 1 have for
gotten now how the barrier between
us was broken down—whether she
dropped her schoolbooks (purposely),
whether i was with a boy friend who
knew her and joined in the conversa
tion when be spoke to her or whether
she gave me a smile in passing and 1
made bold to offer her a posy. At
any rate, the first thing 1 knew 1 was
floating down a very pleasant stream
and in time got into the rapids.
flow for three years I made love to
Agatha without my father’s suspect
ing It I don’t know. Perhaps he did
suspect it. It may be he knew it. If
he did, he didn’t trouble himself about
It. He had named the conditions un
der which I might inherit his wealth,
but he made no effort to impress me
with the importance of my fulfilling
them. Doubtless he argued: “I have
settled the matter so far as I am con
cerned. If the boy chooses to throw
away a fortune and at the same time
take a serpent to his bosom, he is wel
come to do so.”
Agatha was well born and well bred,
but she was at the wrong end of a
period of prosperity in her family.
When she became old enough to choose
a career for herself she decided upon
being a trained nurse. She knew the
conditions of my father’s will and
wouiu not ior rue woria stand De
tween me and a fortune, tier action
in the matter alone saved me from
giving it up, for 1 begged her to mar
ry me. Yet, looking backward. 1 don’t
see how 1 would have supported her.
for, being brought up as I was to In
herit great wealth, 1 was not practical.
A strange coincidence happened. 1
frequently visited my mother and stay
ed as long ns I pleased. When 1 went
my father never asked me how long I
intended to remain away, and when 1
returned never complained that I had
been gone too long, though I am quite
sure he missed me. While 1 was away
he never communicated with me. The
house might have fallen on his head
and I would never have known it un
less by report.
On one of my visits to my mother
I stayed two weeks. I wrote to my
father every few days, though I did
not expect him to write to me. When
1 returned I was informed that he had
been taken ill a few days after my
departure and had been under the care
of several doctors ever since. I ran
upstairs and was met on the landing
by a woman in a nurse’s uniform.
“Agatha!" I exclaimed. “What are
you doing here?”
“Nursing your father. A nurse was
called suddenly; I responded and did
not know where 1 was coming till 1 ar
rived.”
“What a dispensation!"
I went in to see my father and found
him still quite ill, though his doctors
had pronounced him Improving. He
seemed much relieved at my return,
but said that he had bad every care,
having been fortunate in his nurse.
He had asked for a man, but his doc
tors had dissuaded him. “My nurse is
a treasure,” he said. "That’s one thing
women can do well; they can take
care of sick persons.”
“And persons sick at heart, too.” I
added. But he did not seem to heed
the remark, for he closed his eyes. and.
knowing how weak he was, I left him.
He was ill for several months,
mouths as full of bliss mingled with
bitterness for me as of suffering to
him. Agatha remained at her post all
this while, and when he became con
valescent and she wished to be re
lieved, that she might get a rest, he
begged her to rest where she was.
turning over his care temporarily to
me. It Is needless to sav she ceil
sen ted.
One morning she came out of the
sickroom with a joyous look on her
face.
“What Is It?” 1 asked eagerly.
“What do you suppose I have suc
ceeded in doing?”
“What?”
“I am the bearer to you of your fa
ther’s request that you go to your
mother and ask her to return to her
home.”
I was thunderstruck.
“But”— I gasped.
“But the conditions? There are no
conditions except that the past, or
rather, its cause. Is not to be men
tioned."
“And you have accomplished this?”
“Not I alone. Invalids are noncom
batants. Your father has been im
pressed with what 1 have done for him.
though 1 have been paid for doing it
This morning he asked me what lie
could do for me besides paying me,
and I replied that if he would take
steps for a reconciliation with his wife
1 would feel amply repaid. 1 have
done my part. It is now for you to
do yours. Persuade your mother to
come back.”
I clasped Agatha in my arms, then
ran downstairs three steps at a time,
hastened into the street, called a pass
ing cab and bid him drive as fast ns
his horse could go to my mother's
home. It was some time before 1 per
suaded her to return with me. but
when I pictured how near father had
been to death she decided to go to
him and, having once decided, could
not go quickly enough to satisfy her
Impatience.
The spell which hung over my fa
ther had been broken by the kindly
feminine attentions of a good woman,
and it never returned to him.
“Frank.” he said to me on the day of
our reunion, "if you don’t marry Aga
tha I'll disinherit you.”
“That’s pleasant,” I replied. “Foi
years I’ve been living under the expec
tation that you would disinherit me If
