An Ambitious Journalist Wins a
Salvation Army Lass.

Hearuess Fllrt In H1Sh Ltfe-GIadys

OF Jabez Tuttle-Hls Confidence
I'm WOman's Love IL shaken.
Jabez Tuttle was an ambitious young
reporter, employed on the NeU York Daily
Hustler, journal whose circulation was
simply fabulous, according to its own edi-
torial utterances on that subject.
Mr.. futile is no longer connected with
metropolitan journalism, OF which he was
bright and shining light, and the cause OF his
eclipse is to be discovered in the following
romantic story:
Although he had passed the quarter Of a
century mark, Jabez Tuttle had never been
in love until he was detailed by the city
editor OF the Hustler to write up the pro-
ceedings Of Salvation Army convention.
There he met Captain Patsy Dinkins and
his fate. Captain Dinkins could not we'll be
called handsome, but she had dark, soulful
eyes, a graceful figure, and bright, pleasant
smile. 1t was case Of love at first sight,
and for them to become engaged was the
work Of moment. They intended to wed
as soon as Jabez got ga raise" His salary
was eleven dollars week, and out of it he
had to support his aged father, a most ex-
emplary widower to whom he was devotedly
attached, and with whom he lived in hall
room on the top floor of Harlem apartment
house. f-
For while Patsy and Jabez were very
happy. Then they quarreled for the usual
reason that separates lovers. Captain Patsy
became jealous. In the discharge of his
al d,,fi tha co.
tended brilliant social gathering at the
palatial Vandyke residence on Fifth avenue.
There he met Gladys Vandyke, the beautiful
daughter of a millionaire banker. She was
very much taken with the gifted young
reporter, who wrote up an enthusiastic de-
scription of the heiress, which appeared,
with her portrait, in the next issue of the
paper.
Gladys Vandyke was a natural born firt,
and she completely turned the head of the
journalist. She invited him to call again.
When Captain Dinkins heard of this she
reproached her lover. He retorted bitterly.
and they parted.
After that he saw great deal of Gladys
Vandyke. In fact, she made Jabez believe
that she loved him. He proposed and was
accepted, but she enjoined secrecy, as her
parents were inclined to look with disdain
on the struggling young reporter. She
persuaded him that private marriage
would be necessary, until she could get her
father to look more kindly on the match.
OF course, the Salvation Army lassie faded
out of the memory of Jabez Tuttle, but she
had not forgotten him. One evening he was
passing through Union Square, when
gentle hand was laid on his arm. 1t was
Patsy Dinkins, but the mere shadow of her
former self. There were dark rings around
her eyes, and wan, weird expression on her
face.
"Why, is it you, Patsy?' asked the aston
ished reporter.
cit is me" she responded, calmly, but I'M
grammatically; 'thowever, we are no longer
Patsy and Jabez to each other" and she
averted her head, SO he could not perceive
her emotions.
'sExcuse me, Captain Dinkins."
"Major Dinkins, if you please. I have
been promoted" she replied, with quiet
dignity.
81 congratulate you, major.
"Mr. futile, dislike to annoy you, but
have sacred duty to perform. You are de-
ceiving your worthy old father. You have
not informed him of your engagement to Miss
Gladys Vandyke. If you do not tell him I
shall do So"
'Well, it strikes me, major, that my affairs
should no longer concern you. Miss Van
dyke loves me for myself Alone" observed
Mr.. Tuttle, with haateur precaution to New
York reporters.
'Jabez-excuse me, Mr.. Tuttle-I am only
thinking of your happiness. If Miss Van
dyke really meant to marry you, I would
not have come to warn you; but she is
merely trifing with your warm affections,
and will cast you aside as the plaything of
an hour"
sit is false. Gladys Vandyke is as true as
steel,' retorted Tuttle, with fierce glare in
his tone of voice.
'Listen to me, Jabez Tuttle," she Unanswered,
in a low, deep tone, that thrilled his whole
being. ''She is about to elope with an actor,
Claude DeVere, whose real name is Brani-
gan"
81 see you are as jealous as ever" replied
Tuttle, with snort of derision.
mo, Jabez, I love you only as sister.
know whereof I speak. Miss Sadie Bond
clipper, the bosom friend of Miss Vandyke,
has become converted, and joined our army.
