Spring Song

By A. M. DAVIES OGDEN

A breath of spring was already in the air. March had come, the winter was over, and tonight was the last opera night of the season. “Die Walkure” was being given with a phenomenal cast, and the bouse was crowded. Even the host's filled early. Mrs. Wilmore, gorgeous, fussy, important in white satin, with rows of emeralds, fluttered to her seat, carefully assigning the places for her three guests. She had brought Mabel with her for a definite purpose which she did not mean should miscarry, and as the girl leanest back In the chair her aunt eyed her shandy. But Mabel had sense. She knew what was expected of her, and after their talk this afternoon she was not lik«*ly to do anything foolish, Luckily that affair with young Cortright was ended. And Mrs. Wil-

more turned to Chat at her ease with the elderly beau at her shoulder. Music held no charms for her. The girl, too, stared In but listless fashion at the stage where Sigmund lay exhausted by the dying fire. What significance did it hold for her? Once she had loved music, but now— The girl shivered slightly, feeling that all dWQttOO lay dead In her heart, Bence-

forth luxury, comfort, was to be her desire. Glancing up at the gallery gods, where they leaned in ecstasy, her lip curled in memory of the times when she, too, had sat there, contrasting those times unfavorably with her present position. And that cold little room that she called home! The man beside her could give all that heart could wish; the countless resources of immense wealth lay at his command. And tonight she had been brought here that be might ask her to share all this. Tamely she sat, awaiting his pleasure. For a moment the girl’s pride revolted. A hot flush burned her face. It had not been like this when Randolph had begged her to wait for him. “I love you, I love you!” he had said, his clear blue young eyes looking straight into hers. “And when I have won a home I shall come for you.” But that was a year and more ago now. And matters bad been growing steadily worse with her. First had come the long Illness, using up her little board, then her difficult struggle to resume work. How different everything would have been If her father had only lived! Iler mother was a mere, vague, beautiful memory. There was only Aunt Ella left.» And Aunt Ella, though she meant to be kind, was not generous. Then Granville Whittaker had appeared on the scene and to her aunt’s unbounded triumph had been captured by the girl’s high bred beauty. Thereafter morning, noon and night Aunt Ella had Impressed upon her the duty of accepting this opportunity. “Think of all you can do with such a fortune," she urged' “all the people you could help,” skillfully striking the effective chords, “aIK the good you could do.” And Mabel, tired, exhausted, felt her resistance breaking. A month ago she had written Randolph a few lines telling him that they were too poor to marry; that an engagement between them was not fair* to either (Aunt Ella’s suggestion, this). And there had been no answer. Somehow she had not expected him to let her go quite so easily. It was not like him. Aunt Ella must be right in saying that men forget lightly. She had waited, hoping for she knew not what. But now she felt that the crisis could be put otf no longer, and unemotionally she awaited the crucial moment. But in spite of herself the glorious, wondrous harmonies sweeping through the orchestra began to assert their ancient sway. On the stage Sleglinde, all in white, came creeping down the stair, and Siegmund sprang to his feet The girl felt the starved sympathies within her awakening. And then, with a sudden soft preluding of exquisite sweetness, Siegmund broke Into the full rush and swing of the spring song, “Winter Storms Now Wane to the Winsome Moons.” The notes poured out In a very flood of exultant joyousnras. Mabel’s throat contracted; her eyes glowed. “Thou art the spring!” rang Sleglinde’s rapturous

Ever Notice It? Some have no respect for truth, And frequently abuse it; While others have all due respect— But very seldom use it.

Then He Got Busy.

Him—Miss Nellie, your ruby lips remind me of ripe cherries. Her—And—er—are you fond of cherries, Fred?

One Girl’s Wisdom.

“Marry me,” pleaded the lovelorn youth, “and I’ll treat you like an angel.” “I guess you’ll have to count me out,” answered the maid with the refrigerator heart. “As I understand it, angels have nothing to eat and but little to wear.”

He Had Been There.

Singleton—Are you superstitious? Wedderly—About some things, yes. Singleton—For example? Wedderly—Well, when I see a woman wearing a new bonnet it’s a sure sign that her husband has been divorced from a goodly portion of his hard earned wealth.

A Genuine Freak.

She Was a Peach.

Small Edwin had been seemingly lost in thought for several minutes, when he finally said: “Mamma, all peaches don’t grow on trees, do they ?” “Of course they do, dear,” replied his mother. “What reason have you for thinking otherwise?” “Well,” answered little Edwin. “I didn’t suppose papa’s typewriter grew on a tree. I heard him tell Mr. Guy this morning that she was the only peach in the orchard, and—” Just then the door opened and the mother arose to welcome her peach-loving husband, who was kept busy for the next half hour trying to explain that he was alluding to the machine, not the operator.

Now doth the small boy go to bed And gaze at the bare walls. . Till by and by he falls asleep And dreams of marble hauls.

answer. And the girl, utterly oblivious of all else, bent forward, her lips parted, her breath quickening, absorbed, enthralled by the mighty weaving web of melodies. Whittaker spoke, but she did not hear. Her aunt frowned. But the girl, conscious only of a sudden passion for outdoors, for the eternal verities, for life, was beyond the reach of criticism. The curtain, fell, and with a little sigh Mabel came slowly back to earth. A. quick, cynical curve marred her mouth. Spring! What was spring after all? A cheat, an illusion of the senses, a beautiful dream that melted Inevitably Into the frosts and chill of winter! There was no spring far her! And then she saw him. "He stood In the aisle, his eyes fixed on hers. Then he moved toward the nearest door. As she waited the girl became dully aware that she was trembling. The elderly beau rose to leave the box, and as he passed out Randolph entered. I.’nheedfut of the chill civility of Mrs. Wilmore’s bow, Cortright turned to the girl. “I went to your apartment, but they told me that you had gone to the opera,” he said. “May I have a word with you?” Mrs. Wilwibre’s frown was portentous. ' “I am sure you can have nothing to say to my niece that any one may not bear,” she said, with stately politeness. Cortright bowed. -2A? r yonp lease. There

Softening the Blow.

His wife (preparing to go out)— Do I look all right, John? Her husband—Sure. You look like a chromo. His Wife—Wretch! How dare you! ■. Her Husband—Now, don’t get flustrated, my dear. I merely intended to convey inference that you looked like a picture that hadn’t been painted. See?

His Theory.

She —How do you suppose his Satanic majesty succeeded in tempting Mother Eve? He—More than likely he told her that apples were good for the complexion.

True Politeness .

His Wife—Why don’t you talk more when we are together? Her Husband—l don’t like to interrupt you, my dear.

Now They Don’t Speak.

Phyllis—What do you think, Sybil! That idiotic young Sissington actually had the nerve to propose to me last night. Sybil—You don’t say! Well, I always thought he was a little ratty in his garret, but I bad no idea he wSs as bad as that.

His Bad Break.

She —I had an uncle who was killed by electricity. He How awfully shocking! Trolley car or electric chair?

Got the Worst of It.

“Now, Johnny,” said the Sun-day-school teacher to a small pupil. -“We have read the story of Joseph. Can yeu tell me what great wrong his brothers did?” “Yes, ma’am; they sold him too cheap,” answered the youthful student of frenzied finance.

Old Acquaintences.

They met—two pairs of lips— Behind a friendly door; In unison they both exclaimed: “Oh, we have met before!”

Her View of It.

Sapleigh—Oh, I say, Miss Hammerton, why is it that you are always out when 1 call? Miss Hammerton—Because I’m foolish, I suppose. Sapleigh—l—er—beg pardon! Miss Hammerton—Well, you know the old saying: “A fool for luck.”

nothing that 1 am ashamed" of,” ‘lie returned steadily. “Mabel, when your letter came I was out on the range; it was delayed some weeks before I received it. After I had read it, for one whole night I thought, thought hard; then I took the first train east. And I am going to take you back with me. I cannot risk losing you again.” There was a masterful ring in his words that made the girl's heart leap. There were men yet left in the world, then! “I have only this one night,” went on Cortright. “Tomorrow we must return, for this is a busy time. The life is hard, yet It Is fine too. I—l do not think it would be too hard,” wistfully. “And I love you! I love you! Surely you know that,” his voice dropping to entreaty. “So come!” The cry was as Insistent as the call of primitive man to his mate, and Involuntarily the girl rose to her feet. “Thou art the spring,” she breathed, echoing Sleglinde’s cry, “the spring I awaited!” All at once, In a sudden flash of perception, she understood that she had grasped the wrong end of the truth. It was the spring that was real. Winter was but the sturdy guardian that watched over the tender thing while it yet slept in the earth’s warm breast. Forgetful of Whittaker’s scowl, her aunt’s anger, she moved forward to where Cortright stood and, lifting her eyes in a long loyal gaze, laid her hind in his. “I am ready,” she said simply. “Shall we go?” _
