THE EVENING TELEGRAM, Lak LLAND, FLA., JULY 2, 1913. FAGE SaVER IN SYLVAN SETTING { It Was Only a Stage Scene, With' Birds and Trees for an Aucience. By MARIAN JORDAN. Jerry Wayland, gladdened by un- expected leave of absence, managed | to catch the 10:30 train for Stiliwa-| ter. He did not unfold the newspa-| per he had bought nor did he enter the smoking car during the hour’s journey. He sat perfectly quiet in & corner of the seat, pulled his hat down over his eyes and dreamed of the glad surprise in Elinor Blaine's face when she saw him coming. He was the only passenger to alight at the little red-painted station and he watched the dusty train crawl away among the scrub oaks before he turn- ed into the narrow, wood-bordered path that was a short cut to the Blaine's place. Birds sang in the tall trees and there were murmurings and scurry- ings of insect life among the dry Suddenly the tall trees thinned to canopies of a hundred apple trees. It Here Jerry would hide and imitate the call of the wood thrush—many a time during the past two eummers had he lured Elinor from the house with his magic fluting —and she had confessed that some- times she had been deceived by the actual brown bird himself. The brown trunks of the apple trees made long golden-green aisles of the orchard. As Jerry stepped softly along the springy turf he glimpsed a! touch of the pale color from the house and he saw that Elinor herself was coming to the orchard. What luck! The low branches of a tree tempted him, and he swung up until he was quite hidden in the green foliage. From his perch he could see Elinor's golden hair glinting in the sun. Pres- ently she was in plain view, stepping | glowly down one of the green alsles toward him, What a picture she made—her deli- | cate blonde beauty enhanced by llw‘ pale blue muslin gown she wore, with | its round neck and short sleeves edged with a foam of dainty lace. From pivk ribbors she swung a white leghorn hat laden with pink roses and her little white-shod feet looked like | This was Jerry's thought. | white mice. He wondered if she was thinking of him—at least she should have been, he argued—for her lovely head was | slightly lifted and her blue eyes were dreamily fixed on the vista beyond. Before Jerry could flute the first thrush-like call Elinor had paused and with glad eyes and tremulous smile fixed straight ahead, she waited. Jerry craned his ngck, and as hast}- ly drew back, his mind in a tumult, his heart hammering in jealous de- spair. A man was coming—such a man, too! He was handsomer than homely Jerry Wayland; a man dressed in white serge, with a white Panama hat tilted back on his dark curly hair and his white teeth gleaming beneath a tiny black mustache. nearer Jerry noticed with another pang that the stranger wore a laven- | der silk scarf and lavender socks. The two—the girl walting and the man slowly advancing with love-light in his eves-——made a picture in the sunlit orchard. At last they met and the man gath: | ered the girl's hands in both his own and lifted them to his lips. “French!” muttered Jerry dazedly. Elinor hung her head shyly. “I thought you would never come, Paul” she said 1n her low, voice “Dear heart,” he kissed her hands once more before he reluctantly dropped them. “You were waiting— for me?" “Yes,” she gighed. “And you meant what your letter said—that you—care for me-—there is | no one else?” he asked softly. “There is no one else,” she turned. “There never has been—another that you loved?" he persisted. “Never,” she said, turning her blue eyes trustfully to him. There was a fallen log nearby and Elinor sat down upon {t, instantly forming another picture of beautiful fnnocence. Paul rested one foot on the log end bent gracefully over her. “Dearest,” your father were not so obdurate, 1 would be the happiest man in the world.” Elinor sadly shook her head. is cruel” she faltered. “Of course, I am penniless, but I am young, and I have two strong hands to conquer worlds for you!" | cried Paul with sudden passion, “and | yet—yet your father holds to his | promise that you shall marry—lhat—f “He that—what shall I call him?” he asked brokenly. “A mercenary ape,” framed Elinor's sweet lips. “That you shall marry a mercenary ape,” went on Paul angrily. “What can he offer you save a broken life As he drew | sweet | re | he said, holding the little | hand she lifted confidingly to his, *if | | been devised. night—meet me here at the end of the lane—and fly with me—to be my own dear wife forever?” “I will,” answered Elinor solemnly. Jerry Wayland, white and shaking, leaned against his frail support in the tree. It is given to few men to wit-; ness the love scenes between a faith- less sweetheart and a more success- ful rival. What agony endured during that brief interview! So Elinor Blaine did not love him after all! Their wooing had become a mockery in her eyes—she consld— ered him a “mercenary ape.” Of course he had not much beyond his very good salary, but Levi Blaine's daughter was far from being an heir- ess. If they thought that he had been tempted by the fine old farm and orchards, why—Jerry swallowed hard. Suddenly the song of a thrush thrilled from a distant tree. Jerry looked down with miserable eyes. The man and girl had been speak- ing in low, tender tones, but the song of the thrush stilled them. There was a tense silence until the last beautiful note had (ied away. Elinor had some- how stiffened to attention and Jerry saw her stealing a startled glance to- ward the end of the orchard whence | he had entered. “She is airaid of me—thinks | may : angry father scene will have to wal until he can get an ox team to tow him into town.” Elinor stood beneath Jerry’s tree while she spoke and to the young man’s amazement the sur- rounding trees gave forth an audience of half a dozen young men and wom- |'en, who proceeded to rehearse what appeared to be a comedy for the bene- fit of the Village Improvement so- clety. At last, when the final act came to an end, Elinor stood there alone, the others dispersing. Even the hand- same Paul, who off the stage answered to the humble name of Peter Smith, had gone away with evident absorb- i tlon in another girl, and still Elinor lingered: Suddenly she said, sweetly: “Do come out of that tree, Jerry, dear! It must be frightfully uncom- fortable up there. Oh, you bear!"” she cried ,as Jerry gathered her up in his strong arms. “You knew 1 was up there?” he asked, dizzy with renewed happiness. “Of course. Sam Waters telephoned from the station that he was sending your luggage down by the stage—and | ever gince I've been In the orchard | here your tan shoes have been dang- ling in full sight.” ‘ “Darling!” cried ‘Jarry | (Copyright, the relieved 1912, by the McClure News- pi ||u r hyndh ate.)
