Gilbert Farrandule had reached the age of thirty-two without ever having had a serious affair of the heart. He regarded with rather a patronizing and pitying manner those of his friends | Who considered a wife and home the best that lite could give them, “1 would rather be free to go and come as 1 choose, than to be bound with the matrimonial chain,” he told his friend Fronk Whiting, having over taken that e iwooon the strect £ diys bt »date anneunced for hi: vto pretty Kitty S enm will be happy cuts like the fettors manacled himself” the complacency o as marri lo- I hop Frauk, but rothing with which on He smiled with surcd wisdom “Oh, rubbisk!” retorted his unappre ive friend. W3 ou find the right one and all the chains in ereation i wouldn't keep you from marrying her if she would have you” He turned (and left Gilbert, who watched his re- | !runm;: form with bhenevolent pity “Poor chap, he has it bad,” he sald | to himself, continuing on his hom»! ward way Mrs. Horton, the housekeeper, had ! taken the best of care of the big Far | randale mansion for many vears. Gil- ' bert had cone Into possession of this fine old place upon the passing of his | uncle, and Mrs. Horton was part of the Inheritance Gilbert Farrandale was left an or- phan, and his bachelor uncle had | adopted him as his own child Un-| doubtedly living all these vears with | a confirmed c libate had much to do | with the nephew's profound knowl edge on the subject of love and mar | rnage. his Gilbert had received an invitation to Whitine's Apnoint nd Lour found him waiting in the 1m home for the coming of two foolish yoounasters, as he regard ed them Ritty Slocum in filmy vanced down the long room with Frank Whiting at her side. She was pretty enough to tonch cven a harder heart than Gilbert's. Gilbert's eves fell next on the cousin who, with Kit- 1¥’s brother, Ernc<t. followed the bridal pair, and the delights of bach. elor freedom began suddenly to fade for him. The clergyman jolned the young | people In marriage, and Gilbert was | , among the first to offer eonmlull | tions. Then he turned to speak with | | Ernest Slocum and obtained an intro- | .dncfion to the cousin, the mere sight | ]or whom had given him a new outlook ' on life. f Doris lLorimer was the picture of | |yvnlh and happiness. Her big brown | eyes were enough in themselves to ,hlve made her beautiful. She had | come from her home in a distant part | of the state to act as her cousin’s lady wln waiting, and she was to remain |‘|(h the Slocum family indefinitely. ! Hers was the office of smoothing over |the parting of Mr and Mre Slocum from their only daunghter After the Slocum household had set- tled back into its regular routine Gil- Ibert Farrandule found his way there | frequently. but his friends were no longer favored with anti-matrimonial lectures. Doris always met Gilbert with pen fect friendliness, but there was noth- ing in her manner to indicate that the arrow which had pierced hls beart ¢ N SV wedding white ad- Lot Dors® hor s lenlk\d his name, and her love spoke | It was a very crazy to put it so stupidly,” and walit- ed In an agony of apprehension for her answer i Doris' smile broadened, and she re | plivd calmly, “Why, Mr. Farrandale, I | could not think of being so cruel as to let you manacle yourself with the | fetters which cut so deeply.” . Gilbert's heart seemed to sink into | the earth on hearing these fateful | words. | “] was a fool to say that,” he de ;| clared. “I thought 1 was so wise, ! when In fact | had no idea what love | meant. But now I have learned. 1! love you, Dorls Do not punish me for ignorance—I know the truth now” | He held out his hands to her mv frask appeal. Doris’ .00k grew kinder, but, ulu.\ there was not love for him in the brown eyes. “Love cannot be forced,” she said, “and sometimes I think it s | not my nature to love any one person, | hut to care for.each of those who are dear to me, and they are many.” | Had Gilbert been in the right mood, ! De might have smiled at this Minerva- | ke utterance from one who was so | plainly made for love. But he was far too much In earnest to see anything | humorous in her remark. “I shall win you away from all the others,” he said positively, and here their conversation ended, the family | coming out to join them. Later as Gilbert walked homeward. | his thought went over the scene with Doris, and he had to acknowledge that his suit had received no encourage ment. “But | shall not give up—she shall love me,” he sald to nimsel with a firm setting of the lips. The week end brought the bride and groom and a surprise Kitty's relatives | had been planning.
