Aviators have long { moment, ! pe PLAYING THE GAME By EUGENE BONNIE. 00000000000000000000000000 At the little station an exceptionally large number of Plainville's citizens were assembled in honor of the de- parting bride and groom nervously waiting the arrival of the east bound limited. Special directions had been telegraphed to the porter to suitably decorate two chairs in the parlor car, and upon the arrival of the train at Plainville to give the newly married couple marked attention. “All aboard!” rang out the vibrant voice of the conductor, hardly waiting for the train to come to a stop. With a mad rush for the platforms of the cars the passengers jostled and stumbled in heedless disregard, and in the midst of a shower of rice and a volley of verbal well-wishes the last passengers took their share of the i1l- directed missiles good naturedly, and disappeared inside of the coaches. Inadvertently the bride and groom followed close in the wake of a young man and woman who were entering the parlor car. The grinning face of ,the porter as the door opened met with a speedy retreat, and the bride wheeled about and entered the second coach, leaving the perplexed husband with no choice but to follow. The face of the porter broadened with a radiant smile as he ostenta- tiously ushered the entering couple into the decorated chairs bearing un- mistakable evidence of premeditated design. The young woman's preoccupation in struggling with a rebellious veil prevented her from noting the decora- tions, while the man, eager for nov- elty, was ready to play the game, “An unusually mirthful Jot of pas- sengers tonight,” commented the woman, surveying the aggregation in- dividually and collectively. Her eyes caught the ends of a rib- bon dangling from a poorly made bow pinned to the back of her companion's chair, “Mr. Reed!" alarmedly, her face flushed scarlet, “what can we do? They are—that is—they think we are the bride and groom.” “But we are not, are we?' replied the man, indifferently. “But Mr.—" “Call me Don,” he interrupted, as he leaned forward touched by her ap- peal, “we can do but one thing.” “What?" “Play the game. Look like a blushing bride, act well your part, I will mine.” His enthusiasm increased. “But, Mr.—" “Married people call each other by their given names, 1 believe,” he in- terrupted dryly. “On two hours’ acquaintance?” “I have known you several years,” he ventured, looking into her eyes. “Don,” she spoke the name natur- ally, “tell me something about your- self.” “Some other time when we are not playing,” he answered. “But,” she objected, “there may be no other time.” “There will be,” with confidence; “now that I have found you, I am not geing to surrender you so easily.” “I am living in Evanston,” she vol- unteered, “So am 1,” he answered, “Evanston,” vas the muffled sound heard from the other end of the coach, and several passengers moved toward the door, passing the bride and groom- . apparent with a curious smile. “Then tomorrow,” she smiled, as she offered her hand which he held for a | The young man waited at a respect- | ful distance in a safe retreat to see | his companion's friends carry her | away. | No one claimed her, and as the last | ssenger, after gazing into her face, passed on, Donald hurried to her side with a deep sense of satisfaction. “Your friends didn't come, Minerva,” | he said, “So I see,” ehe repiied, almost coldly. “You forget the game is over. | I am no longer Minerva.” “May I call a cab?”’ he questioned, | disreg:~ding her rebuke, “That will not be necessary; my | home is only two squares away, [ prefer to walk.

The night was per- | fect. “Minerva, will you listen to me?” | caressingly, ‘I seem to have no cholce,” she re- | plied almost timidly, “Minerva,” and he took both her | hands in his. “I love you. I have| loved you ever since you and my sis- | ter were at Radcliff. I wanted to meet you then, but my sister would not let me.” [ “Do you know why your sister would | not let us meet four years ago?” she ‘ questioned. “Well, I will tell you. I 8aw you often on the campus at Har- vard. I saw you at Radcliff when you visited your sister—I—was in love with you then—Iinfatuation, your sis- ter called it—she would not let us meet. She said you would never care for me, She was older and wiser, so I reluctantly obeyed.” He held her in his arms now, her face close to his, looking deep into her eyes as they sparkled with the kindling fire of love, “When do we have our honeymoon he whispered. When we are both ready,” she an- swered The happy man is one who s less unhappy than his neighbor. e ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— e BRpRP PP dAAAAARA.
