TAK EVENING TELEORAM. e e e e et % N e SR FORGAVE EACH OTHER By DONALD ALLEN. The current of love between Miss Fanny Drew and Mr. Randolph Aik- ens was running along so smoothly a8 to be alnost vexatious. Any old maid or cld bachelor will tell you that & tiff now and then between two peo- ple in love adds spice to it. There are pcople who wonder if Adam and Eve quarreled. Of course they did. They were rushed at cach other even without an introduciion, and there was no squeezing hands or wiulks beneath the silvery moon. Adam was grouching around the gar den by his lone ome when he caught sight of Eve pseking out from behiud & lilac bush and be called out: “Here, you woman, come along here and quit your tooling!" It wasn't a fair shuke nor a square deil, and the more one thinks of it the more he wonders that love is the sentiment that we find it. “They have been loving and have been engaged over a yeur,” said the mother of the young m in this af- fair, that tock place luter on than Auam’s by several years, “and they hiven't hed a fulling out yvet” “Then theyll unever wurry—never!" was the roply “I'm afraid not. “Cecause, when a woman really loves & man the wauts to get n a dig at him cnece in awhile!” “Zhe does.” “She wants to let him know about twice a monih that he isn't the only man on this green earth—not by a long shot!" “That's it." “Ard he wants a chance to get jeal- ous over nothing, and to stump around and tear down trees and write letters and cull her a peridious wreteh.” “He surely does." “And ofter che has sent him back his letters and the engage-ring, and beth hove loit a heap of slecp and called them: elves idiots, they come sneiking arcund and make up and love each other twice as well us they did bofore’ STHAtS Just it our place, " Mrs. Afkens, wrreld If 1 was the mother of | y I'd ad vise her the same. They'll never get married if this thing goes on as placid as melasses running down hill.” No advice was given, however. It was not needed. There is a divinity whose job it is to look out that love mawches do not become too draggy ndelph to pick a q and insipid, and she hit the trail of Randolph Aikens within 40 days after his mother had expressed her worries. é“‘hlle Miss Fanny Drew was fair to look upon, and was considered a catch, the young man had no trouble in shouldering other aspirants aside and bhaving the field to himself. Things were jogging along at an easy gait when the young lady's cous- tn came on from the west and brought a Rocky Mountain breeze with him. He was young and happy and hand- some, and he had a ranch on which the cattle were as thick as flies about a sugar bowl It was announced by sgome kind hearted person that he had come on to marry Miss Fanny and beur her hence to the land of alkall. If the rumor was denied no one heard of the denial. Young Aikens met the “wild and woolly” and they were introduced and shook hands. The W sterner wus breczy. He was a hustler. He tali- ed straight from the shoulder He us- serted he was after a bride to share the scenery with him and eat her por- tion of grase fcd beef that roamed on a hundred hills, and he add«d that he 1318 Limseli Just two weeks to fall in love, appear before the minister ard pack s trunk and scoot for the west with Lis bride cn his arm Young Ai had half i rest in a gt he ¢u'd not reconci! i.h jaca bocis wnd ich hats.

He must be two or three of them. Instead of going back to the girl and “fessing up” and having it all over with in half an hour, he must go round with the air of a wmartyr and keep the whole | United States upset for weeks. He knows that the girl can't and wom't vigit his gent's furnishing store to ask about a dellar shirt for her father and make it an excuse for lcoking at him in a heart-broken way and hinting that she has consumption and not long to tarry. No, she can't and won't come, and that's another grouch to add to his stock. She ought to send a litlle note—: he cughit to do this and that, and he kceps right on the don- key job till Destiny gets mud and slam-bangs him. The cousin from the west married a girl in a village Lve miles away and went heme to his steers and his al- K Keli, and of course yoang Aikens got ];llh' news. ‘Lhat was another grouch. i Why didn't Mizs Fauny deny the gos- | 8ip more vi u:ly?
