The Rivals

They Were an Old Bachelor and a Young Sailor

By F. A. MITCHEL

When John Gorman died he left his daughter Helen an orphan with no income. Richard Hunter, a bachelor friend of Gorman’s, had lent him $3.©OO, taking a mortgage oh his farm for security. Hunter did not ask for the security; Gorman insisted on giving it Helen Gorman was but seventeen years old when her father died and knew nothing about his affairs, but Gorman had talked with his friend about her. “Dick,” he said, “Helen at my death “Will have nothing, but the farm, aud you hold a mortgage on that for pretty near all it is worth. There’s only one thing that would give me any comfort at leaving her, and that's out of the question." : 3 What is It?” asked Hunter. “If I could see you and Helen married before I die I wouldn't feel worried about her.” A faint flush came over nunter's face and a light of pleasure in his eye, but it was transient “That can’t be,” he replied sadly, "on account of the difference in our ages. Helen is but sixteen, and I'm thirtyeflght” “That's not an impassable barrier. But there is another reason why I can't see my little girl provided for as I would like. She's given her heart to a young sailor.” Hunter looked grave at this and asked if the lover would not be ab'e

to take care of Helen. Whereupon Gorman told him that the youngster was wild, without ambition and would not be likely even to take care of any one, not even himself. Gorman died without again referring to the matter. Helen had the good sense to send for Hunter and ask him to take charge of her affairs. There being no funds, he provided for her ini mediate 'wants out of his own pocket concealing the fact from her. Aftei her father's funeral she consul tec Hunter as to what she should do. lit told her that there was no income for her, but said nothing about the inert gage he held. That was at a lime when the fields for self support for women were not open to them as they are now: Helen looked very much troubled. “It seems to me." said Hunter, “that you had better be married. Isn't there some one you would like to marry V" “Yes," was the reply, “there is. But he couldn't support a wife Just yet Besides, he is at sea all the while, and I should be left alone.” “It is a pity that I am so much older than you. 1 would be only too glad to provide for you as my wife." Helen made no reply to this, nud Hunter left her. At the end of every month he gave her SSO. She asked him if the property had produced the amount and he told her that it might produce the l total during the year, but the income was not regular. This was saved from being a falsehood only by the word “might” Since Brackett, the sailor, did n<>t re turn—and there was nothing to be expected from him When lie did—Helen made up her mind to marry Richard t Hunter. He was kind to her—she did not know how’ kind—and she took comfort in having him for a protector. She also felt companionable with him. But she had built up an Ituaginarv Idol out of the sailor boy, and it would not crumble Her decision to give herself to Hunter was therefore made reluctantly and after a copious Uow of tears. Hunter flushed with pleasure when she told him that she would marry him. She had made a resolution to banish young Brackett from her mind and acted a loverlike part toward

Hunter so well (hat he was deceived into thinking that she was quite content. if not possibly happy, in her de cision. But he did not hurry her. preferring that she should have plenty of time to be off with the old love before taking on a new one.

As time wore on Helen seemed to grow more and more satisfied witn der decision, add at times nouter (nought he could perceive a glimmer ot true love iu her treatment of him. ludeed. so encouraged was he that he asked her to name the day. She did so quite willingly. Hunter, though not sheering off so far from the truth as to leave it en tirely, convinced her that she was living on her own income and when the wedding day was fixed contrived to make her believe that a windfall had come to her property, which would pay for a trousseau. This was especially pleasing to her, for nature has not -yet produced a woman who would be indifferent to this accessory to her marriage. Helen made her purchases and went tb work with a will in the construction of a wardrobe.

Suddenly there came a thunderclap from a clear sky. Bob Brackett returned from his voyage with a fine sum of prize money, his share of the salvage of a disabled ship that his vessel had towed into port. He burst in upon Helen, not knowing of the change .that had come over her. with tile news, finishing with the words, “Now, sweetheart, let us be married at once.” When Hunter heard of his rival's return lie went to Helen and said,to her: “I wish you to consider yourself released and to feel perfectly free to marry the man who has returned to you.” "I have given you mv promise," was the reply, "and 1 will keep it."

But Hunter saw that her heart was not in her words, tie asked her to tell him truthfully whether he or the sailor possessed iff She tried to evade the question, but Hunter would not be put off. At last he forced her to tell the truth. Her heart bad been given to Brackett, and she was unable.

if she would, to take it back again. Hunter at once withdrew to favor of his rival. With an effort he succeeded in concealing from Helen what a crushing blow had fallen upon him in his loss. One matter puzzled him. Now that another was to be ber bus Uuid tiie fact that Hunter had been supplying her with the wherewithal! to live, that he had deceived her in the matter of the windfall for the trousseau, that he held a mortgage on her farm for all it was worth, must come out. ITow should he break the fact to her? Hunter was a very sensitive man He was much broken by his disappointment. and. though he had been resolute in giving up his bride expectant, lie was vacillating in the matter of how to let her know that instead of possessing property she was a pauper. Worry made him ill, aud be was confined to his bed. , . Helen, who, importuued by tbe sailor, bad accepted her release amiagreed to marry Brackett before sailed again, went on with the prepara lions for a wedding iu which there was to be a change of grooms. She seemed to regret the disappointment she had occasioned Hunter, and Brackett in order that her break with his rival should be complete proposed that a transfer of the care of her prop erty should be made to him. Helen reluctantly consented. Brackett went to see Hunter, whom he found in bed, and asked for an accounting of Helen’s estate. Hunter was too ill to invent any more subterfuges and was obliged to make a clean breast of the matter. Brackett return ed to Helen with the information that she had nothing and that all she bad received had been given her by Hun ter. “I believe,” added Brackett, "that the fellow has contrived to get your property into his own possession." Helen looked at him like one dazed. Then suddenly, without a word, she went out and strode rapidly In the direction of Hunter's house. Brackett, who did not know what action she would take, watched her till she had passed out of sight, then went into the house to await developments. Hunter was lying alone iu his misery when suddenly the girl he loved hurried into his room, sank on her ! knees by his bed, put her arms around him and moaned: "Forgive me.” Renewed vigor ran through the sick man's weakened body. He sat up. took the girl in his arms, and there were caresses such as,bad never passed between them before. “Send some one,” she said presently, "to tell him to go away.” An hour later Richard Hunter, walking with a tread that had received a powerful stimulus, appeared at Helen Gorman’s home. Brackett, who was awaiting Helen’s return, saw him corntog. Having left Hunter a short time before ill in bed. he wondered. A dread took possession of him. Hunter came up to him and said: “I am commissioned by Miss Gorman to tell you that she has come to a final decision between you and me and in my favor.” 1 Brackett was thunderstruck. He made no reply for some time, then said: “If Miss Gorman will say that to me or write it I will accept it as the truth.” Hunter drew a bit of paper from his pocket and handed it to the sailor. He read it. tore it into bits, turned od his heel and left the house. On the evening that Hunter married Helen the returned sailor spent the prize money he had brought home iu an orgy and the next day went on another voyage. ~

WHEN SOME ONE CARES.

When you meet some disappointment, an’ yer feelin’ kind-o-blue; When yer plans have all got sidetracked er some friend has proved untrue; When yer toiling, praying, struggling at the bottom uv the stairs—it is like a panacea—jest to know that some one cares. Seine one who can appreciate one's efforts when he tries; Some one who seems to understand —an’ so can sympathize; Some one who, when he’s far away, still wonders how he fares— • Some one who never can forget—some one who really cares. It will send a thrill of rapture through the framework uv the heart; It will stir the inner bein’ till the tear drops want to start; For this life is worth the livin', when some one ver sorrow shares— Lite is truly worth the livin’, when you know that some one cares. Oh, this world is not all sunshinemany days dark cloudy disclose; There's a cross for ev’ry jo.-, ell, .in a thorn fer ev’ry rose; But the cross is-not so grievous, ner the thorn the rosebud wears— An' the clouds have silver linin’s—-wli-n some one really cares. —-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Population of French Capital and Suburbs Much Lower. Paris, Sept. B.—The population of Paris and suburbs before the war was 3.,400,00. According to semi-official figures it is 2,010,000 today, owing to the mobilization of the army and the departure of the fugitives. The minister of public works is aiding the people to leave and is providing free transportation in many cases.

NURSES SAIL FOR EUROPE

Ship With 120 of Them and 34 Doctors Leaves New York. New York, Sept. B—The steamer Red Cross, bearing 120 Red Cross nurses and 34 doctors for service to the European hospitals sailed today.

Don’t Be Bothered With Coughing. Stop it with Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound. It spreads a soothing healing coating as it glides down the throat, and tickling, hoarseness, and nervous hacking, are quickly healed. Children love it—tastes good and no opiates. A man in Texas walked 15 miles to a drug store to get a bottle. Best you can buy for croup and bronchial coughs. Try it.—A. F. Long.

The Greatness of Indiana.

Indiana is, in area, the 37th state in the union; in population it is the 9th. Indiana has a population the most genuinely American of any state in the union. While it is true that Indiana produces the ••makings” of almost every article of commerce, agriculture is her mainstay. It is the home of the Hoosier, the human, all-American conglomerate. The most unique, original, substantial and meritorious of all God's creatures. The building limestone of Indiana quarries produces a yearly income that exceeds the net product of all the gold and silver mines in the United States, put together, probably of the world. No other state produces a greater Variety of manufactured articles for domestic and export trade than does Indiana. Vet, we Hoosiers are an agricultural people—we are helping to feed the world. What Indiana lacks in the hot-sir industry, as compared with some other states, she makes up by presenting to the world the leading poets, novelists, historians and humorists of the present decade.

Value of Indiana domestic animals $ 1 82,564,611; cattle, $41,254,718; horses anil mules, 110,951,006; swine, $24,055,722; sheep, $5,934,143; poultry, $7,762,015; eggs, sis,287,205. Figures, relieved by comparison with other figures, always tell best the story they would proclaim.
