THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ; SATUKPAY. JULY 2 , ISOlZ-HVELYE PAGES. 11 ilCHKAi'S CUPJIC5. in .Vtr I'orfc Timtt. pe would bnvosnid it was raven'i own fault thai sbo tli in men. Perhnps some ' i'uve lx > fn right , uad per- w > u'd .not. However , that _ tb this story. The fact is what concerns us. and the fact is that Florence Craven did not believe in men. Sbo did not believe much in women , eitbcr , but that also has noth ing to do witb this glory. When Flor ence was ] 8 years old she hnd ideals. Every woman has ideal * when she is younp , just us children have mumps. The cirls usually pot over their idouls just as successfully as children do over the mumps , nnd then they settle down to a substantial basis of fuel and find that , after all , the world its it Is is a verv need place quito us good us the world of imagination. That is what happens to a girl who has the ordinary run of ideals. Thefts usually consist of a man who is a com bination of Hichard Cueur do Lion , Adonis and the lintel Gabriel. That is the kind of ideal that the uvenigo younp pirl bet's up for horsolf. It does not nccui to her at Cr t that inordor to be fit for the society of such a tnan she herj-clf oupht to bo a combination of Joan tf Arc. Venus and Amelia Sedley. By and by s.he finds out tbat women arc not built on that sciic , and then she concludes that man miy bo a little lower than the anpels and s > till do. I'lo'cnee Craven , however , did not bo- pin life with bucb a tremendous demand on human nature. Her idea of a man w.is not that he t-hpuld be like Virgil's Uamo Rumor , with his feet on the earth and his sublime head amonp the Pturs. All fcbo as-Iced was that a tnan ihouid be tall , handsome , strong , kind of temper , frank , patient , humble , earnest , ( sincere , aiTcctionute , in dustrious , clever with his hands , intel lectual and passiontitelv in love xvith her. It was not much for a younp pirl to ask , and so Florence demanded it with all her soul and with nil her Btrenpth. And the firM. thing she knew the man arrived. He had the whole of the above cata logue of qualities except one. He was not in love with Florence. That , how- t'ier , did not discoumpo her. She set out to make him lo\eher. Itwasnta Bummer resoit tliat the met him. and nt first he teparded her priphtly allure ments with a iort of palronizinp sropd nature , uhich stirred Florence's bpirits to tlieir depths. She vowed with a deep determination that she would bring him to hc-rifcet. Se\cral times he beeined to be on the point of snyinp t-omothinp veryjearneft to her , nnd then the amused look would come uuck into his eyes and ho would say soinetninp else. This happened so often that Florence became fiercely hungry /or that earnest utter- once which always refused to come. One nipbt she oven went up to her room nnd wept bitter tears of vexation , of course , because he would not sny it. The next day she fished moro vigorously. Thov walked , danced , rode together. The'ctwaips of the hotel tr-arried them tcguhirly every day. and still ho did not Bin It. And Florence wished more than C\ver Trrhimbui' sny it. ' " 'Finally the end"of the season came. The September brceres whispered nround tht > corners of the hot-el nnd the September stars looked down on piles of trunks ready to be taken away the next morning. That night ho spoke. Ho baid he bad been trying to tell her something all summer , but his courage hnd failed him every time. He felt that he hnd not been quite tight in keeping it to himself so lonp , but ho had made his summer so pleasant that ho had really been unable before that minute to toll her that ho was poinp to be married tbat winter. His sweetheart was in Europe nnd would be homo in Bbout two weeks. And that w.is the earnest remark of the- man who was tall , handsome , slronp , kind of temper , ot cetera. Florence tooK it bravely as far as out ward tippcarances went. She luuched in hts face und told him that she had krownit all along. Then &bo wished hut joy nnd ran upstairs. In the invio late secrecy of her own ro'irn she fell fiat on he" face at.d staid there for two hours. At the end of that time she arose , looked at herself in the mirror- uad smiled a mir-eraole smilo. At that niompnt her idoule went out of the win , dow and were olown out to sea by the west wind. The next day Florence Craven was. n manhaterand n Dirt of the most desperate character. For two years she cut a swath. Her change of heart was most sincere. She simply despised men. She took pleasure in transfixing them with the arrows of love and seeing them writhe. She hnd ao moro pity than n seal hunter , nnd she was ns do- vo'd of sentiment ns Butler's "Anal ogy. " She never made the slichtest pretense. She treated all men with sar castic contempt , and they seemed to like it. She counted her victims by the score. ShobroKc up encagements by the do/.cn. She made regiments of "girls jealous. She played Venus Victrix to perfection , and had all the mothers in society wild with a docire to cast her Into the bottomless pit All except one. Mrs. Chubby Soaen had a daughter who didn't go oil. She hung fire dreadfully. The only man who had ever shown a. disposition to gather her to himself had been switched oil by the insatiablb Florence Craven , who wrung his heart dry and then sent him packing. Then Mrs. C'lmsby Sodon rose up und sttid : "Tnat Craven girl has got lobe m r- ricd , " The only question was who was to marry her ? Mrs. Chasby Soden studied thut problem longund'curcfully , nnd finally she cumu to the conclusion that she knew the mini. Then she cuit down to study out a plan by which she could bo led to duvoto herself to Flor ence and to conquer her. She fpent a whole morninp in deep thought. At luncheon she ap ] > aurcd with a severe headache und a written letter. "II that doc * , not bring him , ' ' she paid toJustsolf , "I must Mmply giro It up. ' ' Jt did bring him. Ho was Jurvis Mil ray.

Jiirvlc Murray had begun life ut > n naval cndt'l. lie has boon ahiptvnmkod once urdhad two desperate lights with nlrittof. He got that cut over the brlilgo of 1m m > e in one of thorn . Thun he rosignr-d from the tmvy to accept Iho command of a ves * L A collision , flronnd fivodajsona raft finished tiU career thoro. though he tint honorably Boquittfd of all blsme. Ho decided that dry laud would bull him thereaf ter. He Ktourcd u portion with - < ui electric compmiy. und wat. now in i way to become it unllioimiro. Put ho was not an attractive man. Ho knew It. too , ur jis u rule Moored clear of the fair bex. . I3.it Mrg , C ha bt Sodin * ue In betting him uftur Florence , nnd ho opened up a campaign that for variety and movement has seldom been equaled in the history of love. It beirnn with some masterly inac tivity. The first thing Jarvis Murray did was nothing , and bo did it welL He was'ntroduced to Florence , looked nt her critically and then walked uwny. That mnoe Florence angry nnd filled her with n doi'D detorminatioa to make him notice her and to her sorrow , of course. "excellent. " said Mrs. Chasby Sodeu ; "I should say that the first skirmish is decidedly in your favor. " " 1 don't like it , " said Jnrvis Murray , reflectively. "Sho is ns beautiful and bewitching ns you painted her , and more so. I'd rather Ho right down at her feet and surrender. " "And ba laughed nt for your pains ? No , my denr boy , do just as 1 tell you nnd the most captivating of girls is yours. Watoh her for a day or two and you1' ' ! agree with me that my plan is the only one that will succeed. " Jnrvis watched her. He saw her de liberately draw young Forrest Burnoy into a proposal and then treat him with n measureless contempt that sent the young fellow away heartbroken. If Jarvis had not boon let into the secret of Florence's lack of faith in men ho would have called her hsartless. As it was ho understood that her heart WAS exceedingly active and was feeding on ' its own tltc's. He decided that Mrs. So- den's plan of campaign was a wise one. "Set a thief to catch a thief , " ho mused. "It isn't fair. Mrs. Chasby Sodcn is an old campaigner. She's up to every move on the board. Pity that daughter of hers , my cstimaMo cousin , isn't a man. The mater would have had her married Ions ago. But the Craven pirl has got the whole field to herself , and now that we'ro alone , Jarvis , wo may as well admit that she deserves it , SheV the first girl 1'vu ever been that I'd like to own. And I'm going to do t. " The next day Jarvis Murray treated Florence Craven with deliberate indif ference all day. Ho took the trouble to keep within sound of her voice and sight of her eyes so as to let her see that he was indifferent. She tried several times 10 draw him into conversation , but he answered in monosyllables nnd then turned to sportk to another girl. That night one of the full-dress hops tool ; place- Right in Iho middle of it Jarvis Murray shouldered his way through the crowd of moths around Florence and said : "The next is our waltz , I believe ? " You can't put the assurance of his manner on paper. "I think not , " she said. "You are mistaken , " ho replied , lift ing her dance card. The dance was not taken. He calmly wrote his namo. and " showed it to her" "You see , it is my dance. " At that moment the music begin , and before Florence could recover her breath ho ban her floating over the floor. "Mr. Murray , " she sain angrily , "your impudence " ' "Mv what ? " ho asked , looking in- tentiy into her eyes. He knew how to look very hard. Ho had once looked a mutiny out of counte nance. "Your impudence , " she bepan again , but he interrupted her. "A man would dare anything for you. " he said. Her face flushed and her eyes sparkled. Jarvis Murray waltzed like a featherweight angel. He did not sny another word to her till the end of the dance. Thun he said : "Have you another dance left ? " She had. She had been saving it for a purpose ; not this purpose , but she thought now she would lot the other one go. Do you know what Jarvis did ? He put his name down for that dance and went upstairs to bed. She did not see him till next day. She was weak enough to take him to task for not ap pearing to claim his dance. Ho told her he was sorry she had missed him , and " assured hor"it should never occur again. That made her so angry she would not speak to him again. Then Jarvis Mur ray turned his attention to making him self agreeable to the ladies. He know how to do it , too. Ho had two dozen ideas in as may seconds , aud every ono of his ideas vras fruitful in pleasure to the women. Ail sought Florence , of course. She wouldn't speak to him , so she was left out of his plans She sat mound the hoJel all the afternoon with throe or four tall , handsome men who made love to her to the best of their ability , while the other girls went sail ing with Murray and had a glorious time. Somehow or other her favorite sport palled on her that afternoon , and , 01 course , she blamed it all on Murray. Ho met her face to face in the corridor as she was going to her room to dress for dinner. She was going to pass him in dignified silence , but ho stopped and held out his hand. "Won't you forgive me ? " h ? said , looking hard at ner. When he looked like thut , you would have thought thut bis soul was leaking out of his eyes. "Sinco yon are so humble , " she said , "I will ; but I think you were very rude. " "So do I , " ho said , touching his lips to the tips of her fingers with n manner almoit reverential. Ho passed on , leaving her flustered and elated. The man hud acted us if ho thought her a female deity. After thut he went on all the evening making things pleasant for all the other girls und leaving her out. It was enough to exa perat3 a saint Florence was not u wiitn. and when she retired to her room for the night she was about as thor oughly vexed u woman BS over lived. She actuttllv broke down nnd had a good old-fashioned cry. "I'll fix him , " she said. "I'll not allow him to treat mo in that stylo. The first attempt ho makes at impudence to morrow ends our acquaintance. " But on the morrow ho was not impu dent. That was because he hod care fully observed her face tvtion sno loft the drawing room tno previous night. No. ho was anything but impudent. He devoted himself to her for the whole day. Ho never left her side. Bathing and sailing and driving ho was with her in thum all , und no woman could have asked for a moro respectful , yet tender attention. ' 'Vunquis'hod nt lust ! " exclaimed Florence triumphantly when she hud gained the seclusion of her apartment that night. But ho refused to stay vanquished. The next day ho devoted himself in pre cisely the same manner to Mrs. Chasby Soden's hung-liro daughter. The finest expert from u medieval court of love couldn't huvo discovered a shade ot dif- furouce in the devotion of ibis day and that of the previous ono. That inado r'lorunoo wild ; but what could she do ? That is not the sort of tniag that a girl can notice. So she had to swallow her rage and content her elf with tiirling more de p rntoiy than ever with a tow- haired gentleman who WUB | Xs.essod of n T-iwirt and n hyphened name. Sbo overdid it , howevor. She had one or tuo outbursts of Uunpors which fright ened the young man , und ho ran away. About ihul time she overboard Mrs. Chubby Sodeu saying to ono of the old S'oms on the veranda : "Oh , 'Ob , Jurvis always had a penchant - chant for his cousin. I shouldn't be surprised if the unexpected happened in Hint quarter. " "So , " thought Florence , "that old bundle of gossip thinks he's going to marry her ; > elite. Well , ruther thau that I'd marry him tnveelf , and 1 hata him. " You-soe.Jarvis' campaign was potting on finely. A man has pot to nriko * a pretty serious impression on a pirl when ho gets her to halo him. I've always been ol the opinion that between n younp man and n pirl a goodhotpalpi tating hatred can pive pity three to ono. Jarvis had a sneaking notion that she hated him. and ho liked it. Ho wished she would say she hated him. She did , too. the very next diy. It cnme about in a very simple way. They were all down on'the beach. Jarvis insisted that the sand was damp and that Florence must not sit on it. You see , it was ono of his days lor being attentive to her So ho found a short piece of log- and a short board. Ho sat thee \ ; up on end and laid the board on it. There was room enough for two , so he sat down be side her. Five minutes later he spranp up , apparently oblivious of Florence's existenceto speak to a simpering blonde noncnity. When ho sprang up. Flor ence , of course , went over flat on the sand in about as ridiculous a way as you can perceive. She was so angry she could hardly speak. She would not allow Jarvis to assist her to rise. Ho apologized very properly , but not very enthusiastically. "Don't mention it , " she said ; and than added in an aside : "I hate you ! " Murray really appeared to turn pale. "Do you mean that ? * ' he said in n low tone , looking at her with a soul-leaking look. "Yes , I do , " she answered resolutely. Tbat man's eyes ttotuully filled with toars. He gave her one heartbroken glance ; then walked slowly away and sat down beside .mother girL While he was looking into her eyes Florence felt that she could forgive him anything. When she snt down beside the other girl ho wished she could run a knife through both of them. What was u girl to do with such a muni Flor ence did not-know what to make of him. Ho troubled her mightily. He kept her in a perpetual state of change , from storm to sunshine and back again , like a hot August day with a south west wind. "How do you like itV" said Mrs. Cha-by Soden to Jarvis Murray. "I like H and I don't like it. I feel like a casebardened brute when T treat her so baJlv. But it's going to work. ' " "And you'll stick to it : " ' "Yes , " he saia , grimly ; "I love her. ' ' "Mts. Chasby Soden went oil into a corner , and patted herself on the back. When she saw her daughter she astonished that damp-powder young ladv with a spontaneous kiss. That night Florence Craven made a discovery. She discovered that Eho was anxious. She called it "interested. " But she was anxious to know what Mur ray meant Up to the present time she had been unable to telL The man WAS a puzzle to her nnd she wished to solve him. The question was , how was it to bo dona Sometimes she thought he loved her. When he looked ut her with the soul-leaking look she could have sworn it. But she remembered that she had no faith in men. So why should she believe in him ? But still she'd like to know. She decided that the only plan was to do something desperate. The next day the went in bathing just as everyone else was going out. Murray stood oh the end of the pier and watched her dive ou" . Sno was an expert swim mer. She swam straight out from the shore , and when she was forty or fifty yards from tbo end of the pier she turned over on her back and floited like a nymph. Murray sturtod to walk away. Then she thew up her arms , uttered a scream and weut down. Of course Mur ray bit. Ho wasn't going to stand by and see her drown. Ho * must have cleared twenty feet in his flying dive off the pier. He was ( it her side in a few seconds. "I'm all right now. " she said pant ing. "It was just a momentary cramp. " ' 'You're not ull right and you're com ing ashore with rne. Float. " She floated , and with one arm under her ho swam toward the pier with her "What made you jump in after me'J" she said. "Do you think I'd see anything hap pen to you while the breath of life was in my nostrils ? " A great thrill of jo.v swept through Florence. It was the first time a great thrill of joy hud been caused in her by a man binco the era of the tall , hand some , strong , et cetera. She did netlike like it , on second thought.It fright ened her. Sbo escaj > od from him as soon as possible when she reached the shore. That night Mrs. Chnsby Soden played her right bower. She watched till she saw Florence sitting on the ver anda just outside a window. Then she' went up to one of the old Noms , who was sitting just inside the same window , and said : "Do you know , I really believe that Jarvis has proposed to Nellie ? I saw them in a corner and ho was holding. ' ' her hand and talking passionately t her. I stole away , and they didn't se me. " Florence did not know how she g < out ol her chair , but she was some di tance away from thut window when si. recovered her self control. Then slit stood still and clasped her hands Grei * heaven ! Why did she feel that wnj What diflorence did it make to 1 whether Jarvis Murray proposed Nellie Soden or not ? At tnat momet the raisecant : catne to hor. "I'vo been looking for you , " ho sa. "I don't believe you , " oho answer- , Ho calmly took possession of her fn and walked uway with it She irleljfio free herself. "Don't be ridiculous. " he said , j ' t "I won't stand it , " she exclac tId. . "You are in.sullorably impudent , j Jou treat me as if I were your property1' ; ' "After pulling you out of the w VXI feel a sort of personal interest in . "You didn't jiull me out of the wattlr , " she answered , losing her mental k'lil- ' ance. 'There was nothing the mtijler with mo at all. " Ho stopped short nnd looked her in the eyes. "Honor bright ? " "Honor fiddlesticks ! " [ "And you did that just to see whoior would try to save you ? "Yej. I no. what nonsense. I did it just just for fun. " \ Ho lot go of her arm and took bjth her hitncs. "Florence , will you be mv wife ? " "How dare you. sir ! How many girls do you propose to in ono evening' ) " ' "Some one has been slandering mo. I have never proposed to any other wo man , nnd I never shall. " Oh , wasn't she glad to hear that. And the believed it without n moraont't hes itation. "You havon't answered mv question , " ho said : "Will you bo my wife ? " "What for ? " "Booauso I love vou. " "No ! " That.was her little triumph. Ho had made lior fool miserable so often , and now ho hnd her chunoe to bo oven with him. So slit ) bald ' 'no , " uud thou wuitoil. And what do you think ho did ? Dropped her handbund walked away without an other word. The next day ho met her and treated her as if no wordot love had over passed between them. It was simply incompre hensible. Auy other man would huvo pone away , or hung oil in the dUUinca Hnd looked miserable , or proposed again , but tbitf ono did nouo of tbeso thing * , and ho never loft tier stda Ho did not Ugh. Ho did not look miserable. Ho looked rather contented thuu otherwise. And ho was simp j Knightly in his at tentions. Ho not only fathomed her thoughts nnd exited her commands before she uttered them , but ho fre quently know just what she wished when she was not quite sure of it her self. The result was inevitable. There never was a pirl who couid be comfort able in the presence of n newly-rejected suitor , and the p < vu.iar conduct of this ono was enough 10 * et a girl mad. Flor ence was so uptt't t J' il that she tried to drive him away -3ut ho would not be driven. He stun1 And bsforo night she actually felt 'foamed of herself.
