overhead The shadows cooled his greenlit way The earth wa3 sweet with growing things The vintage promised full and fair And one with eyes like larkspur bud3 And garnered sunlight in her hair Stood watching by the ilex trees A glow a welcome in her eyes He sank too tired at her feet And smiled through wistful little sighs Dear love he said I cannot live I shall not sec the morrows sun But I am fortunate to die While yet my loving is not done And weep no foolish tears for me But when tho vines with gold are hung Think Life was very good to him For he had lived and loved and sung AInslees Magazine A Coincidence and a Recon sideration BY J P COUGHLIN Copyright 1901 by Daily Story Pub Co Paul Westover had every reason to congratulate himself upon the success of his new book The public received it with gratifying approval and the critics bestowed upon it well tempered commendation Being a first born however the critics felt bound to pa tronize both it and its writer in their customary paternal fashion and while lauding its other excellent qualities they pointed out and dwelt upon the un realistic Improbabilities of the main incidents in which Mr West overs heroine was centered That this should be so was only natural Mr Westover was ridicu lously young to know anything of the impenetrable feminine and yet he had dared to make Gertrude Warner the story of a womans life a story of many strange phases and of curious though incorrect said the reviewers insights into the wdrkings of a young girls mind Westover was almost on the point of accepting the critics dictum He had fancied that his portrayal of Ger trude Warner was well and clearly im agined but after all what could he a bachelor and Impressionable know of women The reviewers must be right Gertrude Warner was falsely drawn But there was at least one person who did not think with the reviewers The newly fledged author received in his mall from his publishers a long letter that was truly startling to his self possession Its full length may not be given here but its gist is con tained in a couple of paragraphs You are evidently very intimately acquainted with the story of the dark est passages in my life but surely it was unnecessary that the details should be made public so faithfully and so callously I would like to think that your story was purely a coinci dence and evolved entirely from your own imagination but the details up to the denouement in every particular are so carefully true to fact that I have no other course than to believe that some unworthy recipient of my confidence has in an idle moment be trayed my unhappy history Doubtless you will admit that I have at least the right of asking an explanation the more especially see ing that you have even given to your novel a title so like the name borne by her who asks it GERMYN WARREN Westover finished the reading of this letter with a rue expression He whistled softly to himself and looked blankly at the wall in an endeavor to collect his thoughts - and adequately consider the situation presented to him In a moment the humorous as pect of the affair dawned upon him and he laughed quizzically One of the delights of novel-writing he murmured aloud is to run across some hysterical woman who finds your book a mirror of her past A startling letter If I am expected to reply to all such my hands will be full Yet what a splendid answer to the critics His better and more sympathetic nature however for as yet he was not experienced enough to be callous as serted itself and he penned a duly consolatory letter to Miss Germyn Warren A week later Paul Westover had an encounter that caused him consider able embarrassment Mr Westover our youngest nov elist Miss Warren The serenity and self containedness of the frail pretty girl before him was in striking contrast to the blushing stammering awkwardness of the young author The clear blue eyes however put him at his ease quickly and he found himself lost in amazement at how different the girl before him was from the morbid woman with a past he had pictured her Your letter I suppose I may speak of it was very kind her voice broke - musically in upon his semi absorption but there are some things in your book I would like to talk to you about May I Westover found himself in a quiet corner of the drawing room anticipat ing a quarter of an hours stern cross examination at the hands of Miss War ren Somehow the ordeal did not seem to be so terrible as it would have seemed two days previously Sitting in his armchair that night Paul Westover meditatively addressed the smoke clouds from his cigar She is wonderfully pretty she has exquisitely sweet eyes and what a charming talker even though we did talk only of the serious things of life She is indeed an ideal heroine in real life Westover pulled himself up abruptly and laughed a quick nervous laugh Come this wont do contemplating such a thing already is making haste too quickly but thats absurd Why before I know it Ill be thinking of marriage And marriage would be the ruin of a young writer It would But then Westover repeated to him self all the familiar arguments against m r 1 1 Yes everything Mr Westover has written matrimony until finally he went to bed convinced if not exactly pleased His encounter with Miss Germyn Warren and the train of thought it prompted may have had something to do with Mr Westovers departure for the west but the literary journals an nounced his trip as taken for the pur pose of acquiring local color for a new novel During the two years that followed Paul Westovers literary output served to increase considerably his growing reputation He returned to New York and prepared to settle down comfort ably to meet the demands made upon him by his publishers The novel to prepare which he left New York was a pronounced success and though his old friends the critics did not appear to notice it Paul himself was conscious of a certain resemblance -in type between his new heroine and his old that is to say Miss Germyn War ren He tried to reason that this new heroine was simply but a develop ment of the Gertrude Warner of his first book and thus he tried to dis pel his lingering fears that he had drawn upon Miss Warren his ac quaintance of a single evening Again in his career Mr Paul West over had an encounter which caused him to become as discomposed and nervous as he had been at his first meeting with the coincidental heroine of his first book It was at a literary reception Permit me Miss Warren to intro duce to you Mr Paul Westover you have no doubt read his clever books Yes everything Mr Westover has written said Germyn Warren as she extended her hand to Taul who stood bowing and blushing like a schoolboy Then with a smile of gentle mischief playing around her lips as they were left alone she continued And I can not think that Mr Westover has for gotten me since some of my friends would have it I am portrayed rather faithfully in your most recent novel and even in several of your magazine stories Westover was plainly surprised at this frank challenge and for the sec ond time in his life he found himself keenly observing the heroine of his fiction He noticed the same clear blue eyes and wondered at how close ly he had remembered them all this time He found himself on terms of old acquaintanceship with this mag netic little girl for she was only a girl For a moment until the pre sumption of the thing struck him he felt a tinge of regret being taken away from New York for so long How that evenings reception passed he never knew He had a very definite notion that he had spent by far the greater part of the evening in the society of Miss Warren That night in the seculsion of his chambers over his cigar he came not unwillingly to the conclusion that aft er all What is to be is to be and it seems to me that the fates have ordained that I should create a heroine for my self Either I am in love or am drift ing relentlessly towards that happy state of mind Of course marriage is the to-be-expected outcome of love and for a young man struggling for fame and fortune a sympathetic wife is a great helper a constant incent ive and thus he proceeded to adapt his views to the altered state of his circumstances Wlio Is This Tennyson When Tennyson was nearing 60 years of age and his fame might fair
