See PES OER CR RR RAR Ra Love and Plommer 4 Strong Combination that Upset Arthur Fairing’s Plans for the Future. HE HAD NO INTENTION OF MARRYING. But a Sweet Young Thing Set Her Cap for Him and “Mommer’’ Did the Rest. BY H. S. CANFIELD. (Copyright, 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) |e FAIRING was marked ° ‘for misfortune by sentimental blue eyes and a small, yellow Mustache, He was muscular, romantic @nd good. Like other good young men of sentimental turn, he had longed to do some deed of of high emprise, to res- cus a maiden from the clutch of a Aragon, to cleave some charging caveller to the saddle-bow, but daily to! in an architect's office and evening life in a ‘doarding-house gave him little ehance. He worked hard, and when twenty-five years old made $2,000 a year. Ho ex- Dected to increase this to $3,000 by the time he was thirty, and then he would Marry a sensible, beautiful girl, with ark eyes and hair, pink checks and a brewed there in fivo minutes and blew with great violence, talsing a mimic sea that would have been iaughed at by a twenty-ton schooner, tut was dan- gerous to smailor craft. Sometimes the wind came from all four quarters at once, and in August there were frequent thunderstorms, preceded always by a blow that lashed the water into white- ness and banged the boats against the wooden piers ferociously. ‘That sultry day Arthur had rowed to the uper end of the lake, and as he nedred the hotel he was tired. Glancing over his ehoulder, he noted that a boat containing two women was paduied awkwardly a burdred yards in his front, but gave ft Uttle attention. Then a big cloud sprang over the hilis In the south- TO THE RESCUE! BE SAW THE BOAT WITH THE WOMAN, DRIFTING SIDPWAYS, HELP- LES§LY. ! @runette skin, who would love him for Qimself and call encouragement from ‘below as he mounted, rung by rung, the architectural ladder of money and fame. There was a stratum of horse pense under Arthur's romanticism, and “though he played the guitar badly and sang love songs slightly out of tune he had prudence. His summer hoiiday of two weeks came to him, as It comes to tenant thousands of other city youngsters, and a friend told him that the piace of places for a vestful"vacation was Summeryale Hotel, whore a man could sleep ten hours at Bight and wear a sweater at table; a he went to Summervale. This hotel was a barnifke structure, with'a meagre bill of fare and fat rates, but It stood on the shore of a boautiful Inland lake, there mere ‘boats In plenty, and he settled down to enjoy himself, ‘The air was good, the water was good, the rowing was good, Young men were scarce and several of the girls looked at him lan- guishingly, ‘He amused himself noting thelr defects and decided «within him- welf just why each one would be un- aultaie for that Queen Anne cottage, painted brown, with w red roof, which he Intended to bulld whon he was thirty. One of them in particular seemeit furthest from hig idea. She was a Sweet Young Thing of twenty-three, with pale eyes, pale hair and indistin- guishable eyebrows, ‘Her figure was pretty, though somewhat angular, and her teeth were perfection, She had a’ thin voice and a clinging way, and her conversation was garnished with this sort of thing: "It's a lovely evening, 1 think; now, don’t you think it's a loyely evening?” “The lake ‘6 beautiful to- night; now, don't you nk the lake is deautiful to-night?" music from the band !s very good, I think; now, gon't you think the music from the band Js very good?’ She aleo had a great deal to any about made frequent appeala to and seemed, uneasy lest should be overlooked in the distribution of social attentions. There was no danger of that. ““Mom* mer” was a large woman with round steel- gtay eyes, black eyebrows and a heavy chin. There wes @ shadow of anxiety “Mommer’# portentous face, because she had steered the Young Thing through five seasons and mo marriage Dad resulted; matters had reached a pass where almost any sort of youthtul or middle-aged male would have been acceptable, but she did not despair, “Mommer’ sat at the right-hand end of the plano when the Young Thing played her three waitzes, and glared etonily at those who persisted in talking. “‘Mommer's" severe eyes and inflexi- ble front struck terror to the soul of Arthur. He said to himself sometimes that he might not de able to realize his {deal and the woman of his choice might fall far delow the lofty visions he: had dreamed of her, but he would take care that she did not end every sen- tence with @ question, and he was de- termined that she stould have no “mom- mer.” ‘The Summervale lake was a body five les long, by three miles wide, ringed) und with precipitous bills, verdure- clad, and Its urlcertalnty was the ¢ D thing about tt Small storms) i west and shot .towanl the zenith. A fifty-milos-an-hour wind leaped out of it and rushed down howling. He was a strong oarsman, but {t caught his craft and whirled it half around as though It had been an autumn leaf. He bent to his blades to straighten the prow for home, and then he heard, plercing through the blast, a succession of shrill screams, Giancl once more over his shoulder, 1s he saw the boat with the women drift- ing site helplessly before the storm, and quarter full of water. He yelled to them cheerfully to. hold on, and was beside them in a couple of strokes. ‘The Young Thing, plcturesque- ly on her knees, her hands clasped and her eyes upturned, ecreamed at regular intervals like an automatic steam whis- tle. lommer,” seated on the bottom, her ample back braced against a thwart, occasionally emitted @ baritone bellow: “Save us! Save my child!" Ho made fast a rope to the bow of their boat, “There's no dangor!" he called, impa- tlently. "The wind’s going down now. YP FP Vreelana Tere humble beginnings of the great majority of men famous for their splendid achievements, either in the sélentific or the business world, cannot fail to be a source of great en- couragement to the poor but ambitious boys of to-day. Many a struggling boy borne down by adverse conditions has been ‘nerved to a successful fight for better sur- roundings by reading of the success of others who, like himaclf, knew dire poverty in carly youth, but who, by the strength of individual effort, rose to positions of wealth and distinction. Only in modern times has a well- @irected ambition been able to over- come the handicap of poverty and hum- ble birth. To-day all over the world the poor boy of exceptional talent and stable purpose to succeed 1s sure to better his condition. In America he 18 certain to be numbered among the grent ones of whatever profession he has chosen, Foremost among the great men of to- day who, by force of character, con- quered the unfavorable conditions to which they were born, stands Andrew Carnegie. Tie great steel magnate be- gan life as a messenger boy. Later he became an assistant engineer, but left that profession to adopt the more con- genial one of telegraphy. From tele- graphing he drifted into car-bullding and from that into ore speculation. ‘The circumstances of Thomas A. Ed- {son's start in life are well known. The great inventor began Ife as a newsboy, =WORLD'S — HOME — MAGAZINE ea. Geis aw b selling papers on railroad trains out In phe West. Later he became ao telegraph operator. While a telegrapher in a Boston office the great unexplored pos- sibilities of electric energy began to dawn on him and from that time he deyoted his leisure moments to the study of electricity. Green Brady, Governor of a. Is another man to achleye dis- tinction who began life by selling pa- pers. v. Brady was born in the attic of a ramshackle house at the East River end of Roosevelt streét. At an early age his father compelled him to sell newspapers, and beat him when he did not bring home money enough. After his mother’s death he ran away from home, and one night was picked up, starving, by a policeman in Chathain Square and turned over to the Chil- dren's Aid Society and semt West, By dint ot chopping wood, sweeping and other mental occupation he got himeelf a primary education and later went through Yale, Later he was ordained for the minis- try, his chosen profession, and went to Alaska as a missionary. There he es- tablished the Sitka Trading Company and became the most powerful man in the Territory. Letters, Questions and _Anstyers. The Cold Derby.
