MY DREAM GIRL.
By Adaine II. TatmaH.

Dream Girl. your hair was
hanging down your back in
two long braids, tied with blue
ribbons, and you wore ging-
ham apron and a little white
suubonnet. That was twenty
or more years ago. You were
10 and / was IA We were
schooImates for a long time and
know now that I've loved you
since the first day 1 saw you
Even then I tried in various
ways TO show my regard for
you, hut at 10 you we're an in
dependent little lady and would
have none of my ga!lantries.
You would neither ride on my
sled nor let me carry home your
books. You ate all the raisins
and apples and candy 1 gave
you. though-girls at that age
have good appetites, and yours
was splendid.
But several years. later you
were willing enough for me and
all the other young men to
make slaves of ourselves for
you! And we fought one an
other for that privilege! You
were a sweet, imperious little
queen, who gave US little
enough reward even, when we
had all but laid down our lives
for you. And yet we loved you
all the more for your reserve!
1t is the way with us men.
How well do l remember the
first time I had the supreme
bliss of taking you home from
church! Have you forgotten il,
Dream Girl, that glorious moon
light night in 'Junef l can see
you yet as you looked that
night in your white dress with
the red roses at your belt. How
sweet and pure and far above
everything else human you
seemed that night.
So You are still in my heart,
my Dream Girl. and so will you
ever be. l remember how prim-
ly we talked, how gravely and
critically We discussed the ser
mon. The old white-haired
minister would hardly have felt
BATTERED had he heard us-our
ideas were so much more pro.
found than his.
We went to church often af.
ter that, did we not? I've not
been much of a church-goer
since came to this big city, but
how many times has a word, a
snatch of song, the scent of a
flower, brought back the old
days when we sat side by side
in that little white church-you
with your sweet, serious gaze
fixed on the minister's face,
drinking in every word, wor-
Shipping God from the depths
of your pure soul, worshlping
Him through you.
And later, when temptations
had surrounded me, when
weakly yielded to them and
then realized my own baseness
and that l dare not ask pardon
for my deliberate wrong.doing
there would come to me the
sweet thought that somewhere
perhaps, my Dream Girl was
sending up a petition for me,
wills ering: God bless and
keep Dick
Aud, oh, my pure. hearted one
how much lower, how muct
more unworthy might l have

me? 1t was dusk, and we stood
there in the fragrant darkness
and talked Of many things. You
wished me success. l thanked
you aud begged that you would
give me something to remem-
Der you by" You had a little
bunch of daisies at your throat
the golden hearted Marguer-
ites-and you pinned them on
my coat. 1 took your hands in
mine and begged for something
sweeter, but you shyly refused
me All! Dream Girl! that
was the turning point in our
lives. 1 was young then; 1 did
not appreciate the maldenly
modesty that prompted you to
withhold that caress and it an
gered me TO think that you
trusted me so little. l turned
and left you without even a
'good.by" Yes, yes. 1 heard
your faint cry of Dick, Dick,
don't CO." but / was too proud,
too independent, to go back.
How bitterly have 1 regretted it
since. l have that little bunch
of Marguerites yet, and though
they have withered almost to
dust they are more precious to
me than diamonds.
How blind we men are! We
hold in our hand the jewel OF
great price and know not its
value until it is ours no longer!
l have struggled for a foot
hold 10 this great city; have
shaved from early dawn until
late at night and l have had a
measure of success. Fame has
ev en- bestowed upon me a few
of her precious laurel leaves
in fact, I have won about all
that had started out to win
a place among men in the
worlds work, yet. I would give
it all, all, and a thousand times
m ore to hold in my heart again
he peace and the happiness l
knew in the days when I had
YOU. In a moment o. pique I
cast you, my jewel, from me
thinking to find others as prec-
10 Us, but, h!how well do Ire
a lie now that there is for me,
that is for every man, but the
