The slam of the big front door shook the house. Aunt Hetty, sitting at her sunny | window, started at the nofse, and, | glancing out, saw Jack ird run down the steps and hurry 1y --anger and decision in every movement. A few nioments later a step on the stalrs announced the arrival of her nlece, Mabel, a swect, lovable girl, but somewhat spolled by the constant at- tention of the whole household to every whim of its youngest member. As the door opened, a flushed, tear- stained face appeared, and Mabel was soon enfolded in Aunt Hetty's com- forting arms, while the soft, white hands caressingly smoothed the tum- bled hair. As far back as Mabel could remem- ber, Aunt Hetty had always been her refuge—her haven In all of childhood's storms, and, even now, a young wom- an, with a sparkling engagement ring, the sweet, old lady was still her con- fidant. Day after day she might be found In the same rocker, in the same win- dow, occupied with a dainty bit of sew- ing, which, when finished, invariably found its way into Mabel's wardrobe; and nobody knew of the dreams and memories woven into the sheer gar- ments, as some glrlish confidence would re- call a similar occurrence in her own a tear would fall for the lad who had After the burst of grief had sub- sided, Mabel raised her head, and | gravely announced: “Jack and I are throngh, Auntie” At the question in the gentle look she added: “Well, ft is just this way, dear; if he cannot trust me now, he never will, and I will not stand being order- ed like a child!” A sob Interrupted, then she went on: “You know those beautiful roses papa brought home for me yesterday are in the library. When Jack noticed them, to tease him, I asked him if he did not think they were a ‘nice pres- ent” He asked whom they were from, of course, and I said, ‘a gentleman.’ Then, instead of joking, as I was do- ing, he got angry, and ordered me to tell him who sent them. At that, nat- urally, T would not, when he was so cross, and he sald such mean things— was willing to believe that I had heen playing with him all the time. When I was wearing his ring, too, auntie! I tried to give it back, but he threw it on the floor and rushed out, without giving me a chance to explain. Now he can stay, «f he doesn't care any more than that!!” A fresh burst of | (Copyright, 1912, by Assoclated Literary Happy days passed lu review, | history; and, though years had passed, | started, her own fault, and how easily {HE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKE! came and went. leaving a tearful, yet happy maid, with an engagement ring, that recalled the loving promise of a| speedy return, and partings. “The ring was set with a single, per- i fect pearl. It had been his mother's, | and, as she turned it on her finger, she | reflected its purity, and resolved to be worthy of it. i I Mabel's eyes grew wide at the men- | | tion of the ring, and she started to in- | !terrum, but, with a glance at Aum. Hetty’s absorbed expression, she re- { sisted, and listened with a sympathetic | | wonder, | Unconscious of Ler hearer's surprise, {the old lady dreamily continued her | narrative. | “The weeks that passed were busy | ones—dressmakers and the whole ret- inue of servants preparing for the event to come, and the time was | | checked off daily on the little desk | calendar, as the letters were written. | The replies were carefully hoarded, and put away in a dainty book, with | keepsakes of other days. “At last, the day of her lover's ar- rival dawned, and she moved about as if in a dream, until she was clasped in | a pair of strong, young arms and real- Ized that it mcant the end of part- ings. “Happy days followed in swift suec- cession, until the wedding day was but a week distant. While sitting in the summer house, planning their bright future, she spoke of the beauty of her ring. He had noticed a lttle plain ring that she had always worn, and idly in- quired about it. To tease him, she ignored the inquiry, thus rousing his curiosity, and, before they realized it, heated words had followed. Then, girl fashion, she felt abused, never thinking of the silly way it had all then—no more | it might have heen remedied. He told her that if she left fn anger, it would be the end. Of course, she did not think he really meant it, and liked to see how far her power went, so, with her head in the air, she went to the house, never dreaming but what he would follow her. He did not. “In the morning, after a sleepless night, «he descended the stairs in a | repentant mood, to find a note on the hall table, simply informing her of his | departure, in response to an urgent message from home. ‘Will write from there,’ was the only grain of comfort she could see. Frantic at the turn of follow him in mind, with a remorseful letter. “As she hastlly penned her sorrow and love, the house was aroused by the news of a serious railroad accl- dent, in which was the very train that her lover had departed on. Later came the news of his death, caused by a falling beam, as he was heroically | f helping the wounded to places of safe- ' ty before the fire reached them. “That was the end—end of all the fond hopes and plans—she never saw him again, and you can perhaps imagine what that girl's lifelong re- | tears and the curly head went deep Into the comforting lap. Aunt Hetty thoughtfully contem- plated the sorrowful figure. “Do you think that you were just right yourself, dear? Remember that the forbearance and forgiveness of .| true love cannot always be on one side. True hearts should be above causing another pain. for a simple Joke " “lI know it wasn't right,” was the faint response, “but I meant to tell him in a moment, and never thought of him doing that way. He ought to have had more faith in me than that.” Mabel wiped her eyes deflantly. Aunt Hetty sighed, and a mist came before her, as she replied gently: “Ldttle girl, people can live years in a minute—countries and lives be de- stroyed, but an angry word lives for- ever. \Would you like to hear a story --a true one, about a girl, just as lov- ing, fmpulsive, and thoughtless as you?" Mabel assented eagerly, her own woes forgotten for the time, at the prospect of one of her aunt's stories. “Years ago,” began the sweet volce, “a girl lived in a beautiful southern town. She had everything to make her happy—father, mother, brother, and a home, of which she loved every nook and corner. She was very popular in she recelved. But, in her open-hearted manner, she liked them all *he same, and after repeated refusals (contrary to the usual rule) they were all like big brothers to her—ever watchtul for her pleasure and comfort, without riv- alry and jealousy. “Matters went on this way for sev- | eral seasons. Gossips wondered— talked, and finally doomed her to a solitary spinsterhood, as one after an- other joined the ranks of the ‘big brothers.’ “But one day came a change. The girl's brother brought home a friend— a former college room-mate. His home was far away. and on a trip for the business interests of his father he had combined duty with the pleasure of a visit to his friend “We read oi ‘love at first sight,’ and 1 think that is what it must have been, We are come once | for, from the first, the girl was a dif- more, thank God, to its most charm- The violets and the may- flowers are as its inscriptions or vig- It always makes a pleasant old summer house was thelr retreat, Impression on us when we open again at these pages of the book ot lite— ferent person. The interest was mu- and they rode, danced. and sang together In quieter moods, the quaint, where many happy hours were spent, i reading together or exchanzing com- morse must have been.” Aunt Hetty's voice was tender, and | her eyes suspiclously moist, as she noted her nlece’s countenance. “Now, you see,” she went on, “why | I have opened my heart, dear—to save | you from a like sorrow, for the xlrl} was I, as you have already guessed. { Time softens all sorrows, and, eventu- ally will make all things right” “I'm going and 'phone Jack right now, aunties. I'm g'ad you told me, | and | wish somebody had told you. | shall always remember it, for what would 1 do If anything happened to Jack?' With an impulsive hug and kiss, Mabel hurried out. An hour later two radiant faces be- tokened reconciliation, but, as Mabel burfed her face in another bunck of roses, & shade of sorrow went over her at the thought of the girl of long ago, and her shattered dream. Glanc Ing at Jack's happy smile, she thanked God within herself for the timely warning of Aunt Hetty. WHY ADVERTISE A I)IV()R(:E'!L Writer Objects to New Custom of In- dicating It by Change of Ring. What is there about divorce that asks Leslie’s. Some western women are trylng to introduce the custom of wearing a wedding ring on the little finger of the right hand when one be comes divorced. A truly modest woman who has ob- tained a release from the matrimonial relation will want to keep herself in the background, and the greater the Justification for such release the less desire there is to advertise the fact.
