Now he ‘Was returning, comparatively rich, to gettle down in the village of his birth. And when a man does this, if he be a bachelor, it is safe to assume that the thought of some old boyhood sweetheart has crossed his brain. There were two of them—sisters. June and Lucille Purvis were twins, and John had been madly in love with each alternately. Like most men, he had two natures. One was the nature of the average man. He liked jollity, frivolity and a “good time.” With pretty, flaxen-haired Lucille, he had enjoyed himself to his heart's content. But for a strain of caution in his blood, inherited from a maternal grandfather, who was a Scotchman, he would have proposed to her at any of innumerable odd moments. But John had another side, though he hid it successfully from the world. This was a dreamy, sentimental side, such as the stately June alone could gatisfy. And perhaps this was his sin- cerest and truest side. But June was married. And 8o, with lingering thoughts of June, he proposed to ask Lucille to be his wife. Lucille was as jolly as ever, unattached, and apparently as young as ten years earlicr, Perhaps she was twenty-nine. John was thirty-four. And, with increasing years, the June slde had developed at the expense of the other. “Pshaw!” he muttered. “A man is a sentimental fool when he passes thirty, anyway. Lucille would make me the jolliest wife imaginable.” Angd Lucille had all but told him she would. But when he got back home, after that visit during which he had fully decided to put the question next time —then John took out of a secret The Writing Broke Off Abruptly. drawer a certain little diary which he had carried with him for ten years. June had put that into his hands, that | day he went away—tall, statuesque ' June, whom he had always thought so cold. And in it were certain poignant passages which he re-read this night, to test himself, before asking that mo- mentous question of Lucille. John turned the pages. “He {s going away tomorrow,” he! read. “And I love him. And I don't know what to do. I must tell him. He thinks me utterly different from what I am. 1 wonder what he would think if he knew how many tears I have shed—" The writing broke off abruptly, and that was the last paragraph in the book. John turned back. “I don't know what to do. I don't know why a woman is forbidden to reveal her heart when all her happi- | ness depends upon his knowing. I love John Hayward. There! I shall scratch out the name some day, and then nobody will know who he is. I am playlng a part here. I play it whenever I meet him. He must not | know, cost what it may—and yet he' must!” There was the dry stain of a tear. John smiled, but not in mirth. Poor, silly, sentimental schoolgirl outpour ings! And yet how true they rang. | He turned toward the end again. “I shall put this book in his hands some day—not {u his hands, but some- where where he can come upon it. I wonder if he will guess! No! 1 shall destroy it!” John set the little book down and rested his ¢hin upon his hands ing at the fire, deep in though The foolish triteness of the words, the frank and unashamed senti of it went straight to brought back mind-pictures o | days of long-lost youth, when he entality It “pp) had been desperately in love with June- | June, the mother of two childre 1, and | inclining to stoutness.

At thirty-four the TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JULY 7, 1914, PAGE TWO —————— recollection has become only a ten- der one. Yes, Lucille would make the jolliest wife in the world! [ And yet, somehow, it was June that | he visited that day, before he started upon his other momentous journey. And June looked very serious. And ! presently she led right up to the | topic. “John,” she said, “as an old friend, 1 am going to say something frank to you. Why have you come back?” “ To gettle down here,” he answered i vaguely. There was an embarrassing pause. Then June raised her head and looked | at him directly. “Are you going to ask Lucille to marry you?” she asked. ¢ “You know, John,” she continued, “I don't think you are treating my sister exactly right. Of course, if you never cared for her—all that is the fortune of war—I mean the chances of a woman's life. But you have come back and called on her. You know she always cared for you, John, and none other. And she has had so many chances.” “Yes,” answered John slowly, “I | am going to ask her today.” Suddenly June began crying. “God bless you, John,” she sobbed. “You have made me so happy. You know I have a right to take you to task— after giving you the diary! O, John, what it cost us both in pride—for we were always intimates! And it was only because you were going away! Poor Lucille!” ‘ John looked at her in bewilderment. “That was the real outpouring of & woman's heart, John,” continued June, “and I don't think we women change much. Lucijle always felt things deeply. And when she was with you she felt that she had to mask her feelings under the guise of jollity—" “June!” cried John, catching her by the arm, “do you mean that that was ' Lucille's diary?” “What?” she cried. “John! Did yod think it was I1?” And suddenly tears gave place to mirth, and she laughed helplessly. “O, John, forgive me!* ! she sobbed hysterically. But John Hayward was not thinking of forgiveness. All his thoughts were turned upon a very different subject. How blind he had been—how incred- ibly blind! Lucille the writer of those impassioned sentences! Lucille—the frivolous little woman whose nature had rushed to meet his own on both sides! He seized his hat. June clung to his arm. “John! What are you going to do?” she cried. “Let me go,” bellowed John. “I'm going to rush round to Lucille before any other chap has a chance to get there first!” (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) DOCTORS NO LUXURY THERE Costs Only 60 Cents to Have Physl- clan of Prague, Austria, Make a Call. The doctor’s bill is not such a thing to dread in Austria as in some parts of the world, as & report from United States Consul Frank Deedmeyer, sta- ticned at Prague, shows. The City of Prague with a popula- tion in city and suburbs of about 600, 000, has only about 800 physicians, or one for every 7,500 persons. A doctor charges for a daytime call in a middle- class family only 60 cents, or 10 cents more than if the patient calls on him in his office. For a night call the doc- tor recelves $1.20 to $2, according to the distance. Only professors attached to the clinics of the two local univer- sities charge more, recelving $2 to $4 . for a house call and $2 for an office visit. As in this country, the physi- clans, except those of the homeopath- o school, do not supply medical rem- edies. “At most of the hospitals under the control of the Roman Catholic associ- ation,” continues Mr. Deedmeyer, “treatment and care are entirely free. Nurses at hospitals are paid 80 cents a day for the first year, with an an- nual increase of 20 cents per month; at sanitariums, from $6 to $8 per week; at private houses, from 80 cents to $1 per day, board being always included for all nurses. “About 100 dentists practise in this city. The average charges are: Draw- ing one tooth, 40 cents; cement fllling, 60 cents to $1; amalgam filling, 80 cents to $2; gold filling, $2 to $4; bridgework, $10 to $20. “The annual incomes of these pro- fessional men are estimated as fol- lows: Head professor in charge of clinics, salary paid by the govern- ment, $1,440 to $1,600, and $5,000 to $11,000 from private practise; other professors at clinics, salary paid by the government, $1,000, and from pri- vate practise, $4,000 to $10,000; gen- eral medical practitioner, not attached | to any clinic, $3,000 to $3,500; the av- erage income of a dentist is $5,000.” -—_—_fl = — 303030 oo BB B BB “CONSULT US” For figures on wiring your house.
