THE CONFESSIO A UTTLE SKIRMISH WITHA (Copyright, 1914, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association.) 1 wonder if Dick did really treat Eleanor badly when he married me, Every time I am introduced to some new woman she looks at me #0 queerly that I have actually begun to feel uncomfortable, and I almost want to say: “Yes, I am the woman for whom Dick Waver- ly threw over Eleanor Fairlow.” Yesterday at the card party I overheard one woman say to an- other in the dressing room: “Real- ly, I don't think Dick Waverly made even a fair exchange for this red-headed woman he married. Eleanor is much better looking, to my way of thinking.” “But they say this | Yery smart.” “Well, I never heard of any man falling in love or staying in love with a woman just because she was smart, did you?” “Hush!” said some one fn a shocked voice as they caught sight of me. 1 tried to act as though I had not heard. A little later Eleanor Fatfriow came over and stood beside me. She ts a taller woman than I, and I think she is very beautiful. I would Ifke to be friends with her, but some way she is always hold- ling me off at arms’ length. I leatch her sometimes looking at me las though she thought J had forci- | bly taken from her something that was hers. Miss Fatrlow was looking well, and she had at her belt a great bunch of brown and white flecked orchids. They were wonderful flowers, and in wonderful fashion just suited the dark beauty of the passionate face above therm. Some one remarked about them, and for an instant I saw a sinister jook come into the eyes of the girl sitting opposite me. “Yes,” she drawled, “you see to- day 1s my birthday. I don't — rs. woman fs pose you know, my dear Waverly, that my birthday and your husband's are on the same For years and years he has particular kind of year, you will re member, you were on your wed ding trip, and, of course, he missed, but this year he seems to sent me a double supply to e up for it.” The eyes of the other women were upon me. I felt myself grow cold. Dick send ing her flowers to keep up an old custom—I did not believe it was true. At least she should not gloat over me, so I said: “T am sure, Miss Fairlow, I did not know just how many Dick was fn the habit of sending you. He ked me to leave the order yes terday, as when he was speaking of the little custom I told him it really was too pretty a one to die out.” From her face I knew that Dick had not sent the flowers—that she had purchased them herself and intended to tell me the little story I was glad that I had iMed—glad she knew I had Mfed, for it made her understand that whatever might happen I was quite ready to fight for my own. Poor old thoughtless Dick! How he would laugh if he heard this little skirmish, and I am not sure that I'll not tell him the next time Bleanor Fairlow, he and I happen to be together. “Are you and Dick Waverty the| lsame age, Eleanor?” biuntly asked }one of the women. “Be careful how you answer, Miss Fairiow,” I sald, sweetly, “for some years hence you may be in the same boat as a woman whom I heard described the other day, It seems that she and the man in question had been pals and chums in their youth, as you and Dick have. “The man left the city and did not return for many years, One evening at a party he espled his | old boyhood sweetheart. “‘Great Scott! Sallie, how well date. sent mo this orchids. Last NS OF A WIFE MATRIMONIAL FREEBOOTER “You are my age, and I'm 63!" “Oh, no; that ts not possible. I don't know how old you are, but I'm only 40." “*But, dbut-— he eputtered, ‘when we were boys and girls together we were the very same age.’ ‘Well, you men live so fast, yon know!'” I think I have given Miss Fatriow something to think about.

They have arranged it all like a | rat-trap. Over there, beyond the mined fleld even, two companies are lying in extended order. And mkiway between them, with- out & vestige of cover, stands our battery on the opon field, It is planted there as if it were doomed to be delivered into the enemy's hands. And now we are lying tn our long trenches, and are peering out into the field, with our eyes gined to the sharply outlined silhouettes of the guna. The sun haa set some time ago. From the far distance the thin rattle of musketry reaches us clearty. Wonder {f {t’l) last much longer? Our orders are to remain under arms. We have put on our overcoats.
