EVEN AT LAST.

A young man and a young woman leaned on the front gate. They were lovers. It was moonlight. He was loath to leave, as the parting was the last. He was about to go away. “I’ll never forget you,” he said, “and if death should claim me my last thought would be of you.” “I’ll be true to you,” she sobbed, “I’ll never love anybody else as long as I live.” They parted. Six years later he returned. His sweetheart of former years was married. They met at a party. She had changed greatly. Between dances recognition took place. “Let me see,” she mused, “was it you or your brother who was my old sweetheart?” “Neither,” he replied. “Probably it was my father.”
