f POET AND THE IN6ENUE
V
►♦31 g
$ By C. WENGLER. |
She had come Into the hotel grill
room with her'chaperon. He was din
mg wun a young
friend. Eyes were
drawn to eyes,
and during the
long dinner nei
ther saw but one
face In that
crowded room.
She saw the
head of a god,
hair tinged with
gray, delicate po
etic hands, a sen
sitive mouth and
eyes that looked
a world of sorrow
and understand
ing. He was a
man, old, soul
seared, satisfied.
But the girl was
too young in life
to read signposts.
lie saw a young
girl with innocent
blue eyes, a full,
rosy mouth that
suggested kisses,
cheeks red with a
reuness that has recently come from
the country. She was fresh, full qf
light and laughter, curiosity and ex
pectation. The man read her with the
understanding of the expert in human
nature.
When she passed from the grill
room her eyes went to his and she
smiled as a chllo smiles at some new
and as yet unencountered pleasure.
And he looked after her as a connois
seur in human weaknesses who has
chanced upon a new toy.
Such was their meeting.
The young girl spoke to her chape
ron about the man with the godlike
head The chaperon told her that she
must never mention his name, that she
must not know that sort of a man.
The next morning the girl came Into
the chaperon's rooms noiselessly. The
chaperon was at the telephone.
"Oh, splendid. Jack! I’ve wanted to
meet Owen Marsh ever since 1 read
that exquisite pcem of his, The Lov
ers of Lara.’ Bring him to tea at four
and I’ll asl: some congenial people.
Until four cood-by!"
The girl slipped out of the rooms as
quietly as she had come in. She
couldn’t bear to meet the eyes of her
chaperon just then. Owen Marsh was
the man with the godlike head!
A little later she returned to her
chaperon, to await announcement of
the afternoon tea. None came. In
stead, that gracious lady turned to
her:
“Child, Madam Manette telephoned
that she would like you to take your
lesson at four today, instead of two.
Estelle will call for you at five and
take you for a chocolate.”
The girl made no reply. Her mind
was in a whirl. But about 5:30 that
afternoon, as Owen Marsh was whis
pering insinuatingly lute the chape
ron's delicate pink ear. a slip of a girl
entered the rooms. She walked direct
ly to her chaperon, but without look
ing at her. Her eyes were on the man
with the godlike head.
The chaperon forgot herself. “1
thought you were driving in the park,”
she said sternly.
“Estelle told me you were having a
tea.” still looking straight at the face
that had so thrilled her, “and I didn’t
want to miss—him.”
The girl dropped Into the chair at
the elbow of the man with the won
derful face. And there waa nothing for
the chaperon to do but—Introduce
them.
Some one called her away then, and
the man and the girl were left alone.
In all that roomful of people neither
saw any other. It seemed to each that
they had waited long for this moment
They made the most of it.
"They couldn't keep us apart,” the
girl said.
“I have known you always,” said
the man.
“I love you,” said the girL
“I’ve always loved you," said the
man.
And then some one Intruded, some
one that could not be escaped.
"I’ll meet you under the roses in the
corridor," whispered the man.
Before the guests had all taken
their leave the girl slipped away.
When the man left the chaperon’s
room he found the girl—waiting—un
der the roses. He lifted hv into the
taxi and they drove far out into the
country to a litle inn, where a room
always “waited” for the man.
He named her the Blush of Dawn
•md called himself the Valley of the
Shadow, lie was a poet; she was an
ingenue. One night of Inspiration was
Ms. A night that shattered every il
lusion was hers. Then he told her that
in the Valley of the Shadow men live
—alone. He went back to his lair
with one more sensation livening hla
sluggish blood. It was on such mo
ments that he lived.
She went into the street, for ths
chaperon waa a foolish woman; she
closed the door against her. It wan
ror this that the girl had grown up
over night.
The man boasted of his conquest.
He was a—poet Some men turned
heir backs upon him. Others took up
.he scent laid bare. Women read the
poem the girl had Inspired, and naked
he poet to dinner. The chaperon
lent him a silly note, swearing undy
ng devotion. The girl’s aunt invited
;im to give lectures on BJornaen and
.'been in her home of mornings.
But the girl—ah. the girl—why asfcT

R. L. ARTHUR
After I bad been admitted to the
bar, my father considering It best
that 1 should nave the opportunity of
gaining experience in a large city be
fore entering bis own office, I went
west, where I became associated with
a law firm, the head of which was an
old college friend of father's.
Mr. Marsden impressed me at first
as my beau Ideal of a man; while
Mrs. Marsden was one of those ma
tronly ladies, with a certain old-world
courtliness of manner, sweet and en
dearing. There was a son, named
Fred, about two years older than I,
who appeared to be a Jolly good fel
low.
“Lilian," said Mrs. Marsden, as a
young lady entered the room, “this is
Mr. D%nald Fairchild. My daughter,
Donald."
Miss Marsden and I shook hands.
“This Is Lilian's twentieth birth
day,” Mrs. Marsden observed, evident
ly for the purpose of relieving my em
barrassment “She Is our only daugh
ter, Mr. Fairchild.'
“I am sure. Miss Marsden,’’ I said,
finding my tongue at last, “I wish you
many very happy returns of your
birthday."
It would be impossible to convey
any adequate Idea of the unalloyed
delight of my first few days in the
city. At the end of a week I had ac
complished three things: I had se
cured nice room for my private quar
ters; been assigned a place In the
offices of the firm, to which I was ad
mitted aB a junior partner, and fallen
head over ears In love.
Mr. and Mrs. Marsden must have
known how things were going, but
the knowledge appeared to cause
them no uneasiness.
I had been here about six
months, when I was entrusted with
a commission that took me to Massa
chusetts—which, by the way, was the
place where Mr. Marsden first be
came acquainted with his wife. It
waa there that they were married.
My business waa to look up the
title to certain real estate in Boston,
and to obtain authenticated records
proving the validity of a client’s claim
thereto.
Before starting on my journey. I
declared my paaslon to Lilian, and
became her accepted suitor, with the
approval of her parents.
At the end of three days I had fin
ished my search in Boston and armed
myself with certified copies of the
entries discovered.
But—alas, for my success! 1 had
found something else—something foi
which I was not looking—something
that took all the interest out of my
mission and made life seem a hide
ous mockery and burden.
Standing out. as if written in let
ters of fire borrowed from the nether
regions, 1 found this entry in the rec
ord of births in Boston.
“December 14, I860- Lilian Agnes,
daughter of John and Katherine Mars
den.”
And this was January, 1896!
My affianced, who had been intro
duced to me on her twentieth birth
day, six months ago, wbb a charming
damsel of thirty-six!
When I reached the office on my
return to the west, I found Fred busy
poring over a pile of musty docu
ments.
“Glad to see you back, Don,” he
said, “I’m just looking over some in
teresting family papers. Father ia
at work on our genealogical history.
I suppose you know we came over in
the Mayflower?’’
“I wasn't aware of it,” I replied;
"but you wouldn’t surprise me if you
told me you came over in the ark.
How did your sister stand the voy
age?”
“What the deuce is the matter with
you, Fairchild?" Marsden asked- col
oring. v
"Well—don’t you see—this paper
proves she is thirty-six?”
Marsden whistled, and then he
laughed.
“Look here, Don,” he said; "I think
I ought to break your neck, Instead of
laughing at you—but it’s too absurd.
My parent’s first child was a girl, who
was christened Lilian Agnes. I was
born nine years later; and five years
after that came another girl. Lilian
was a favorite name with my father;
and the first child having died in in
fancy, they decided to revive the
name. Accordingly, the second daugh
ter was crlstened Lilian.
And I gave my head two or three
good bangs against the wall. After
which, I felt better.
