At Last He Sees Josephine Again Is Overoyed
By

and enthusiasm TO have been divided
among 10 fasteners like me
To go back to Josephine calleo
Ter up. and she gave the most oellsnt-
ed little laugh when ! SAID
well little girl, what is lI-
fOh" she said Max. ] have been so
unhappy and so Wretched- / never was
so nisera BILE in my life. DO you know
Won haven't been up here for a week.
I didn't remind her that II was not
all my fault. was too tired, ana
then her voice sounded good to me- A
fellow does love TO be missed, and JO-
scDhfue has way Of throwing a ca
ressiug tone in her voice that makes a
fellow forget all his anger and resent
ment He Is just so glad to hear-it
nothing else counts
Il viii tell you when / see YOU, 1
said.
She wanted 10 know If that wouldn't
be tomorrow night and that reminded
me that / still had that enthusiastic
man from the west on my hands. Why,
II 1 had told that fellow I was going
TO see my best girl and coulCn see
! kim ne would have SAID Il so win
yOul Do you know, 1 never told a
woman yet about this invention OF
mine that she wasn't intensely inter-
ested. 1t is so simple in its meChan-
ism that all Of them understand it
and the minimum etc, etc.
There was no getting away from
that mani ] told Josephine 1 couldn't
come tomorrow night
tually sounded as If she saw me be-
ing dragged off by another woman.
It's all about mechanism, and too
long TO tell I said Il don't want you
TO bother your pretty head about such
things"
She didn't seem satisfied Then can
I come down and have lunch with your
she asked, and I told her nothing
would please me more.
March IL remembered this morn
ing, that the man with the scheme
rad made an appointment for me to
meet some manufacturers at lunch, and
/ had TO send the best girl a note try
ing to explain why I couldn't meet
I was kept on the move by that man
with a scheme all day. At II o'clock
tonight we signed up the final papers
and called taxi and took him to
his train and stayed there till il pulled
out / was afraid if I didnt he would
think Of some new scheme and decide
to stay over.
It was late again when got in and
tOrDes said Miss Wright had called I'D
every half hour. as usual
thought I saw Forbes smile I am
afraid JOsephine's solicitude is making
me appear ridiculous Forbes has been
with me since the days when I was
poor and hadn't any friends and any
excessive friendship on the part of ?
teal
March 1S-It seemed good today to
know that was going TO see Josephine
this evening I looked forward TO II
all day, as a man in jail must look for
ward TO his hour Of release. I was
home at six, and. dressed and on my
way at seven.
Josephine came TO the door. and
there was no one in the hall when she
let me in.
1 wonder, Diary, just how much a
man should tell TO a confidant like YOU
can't contine my statements 10 bare
facts, although there are times when
there Is heaven even in the bare state
menI rnaL Josephine met me, and there
was no one in the hall when she LET
me in.
She didn't say a word about her hair
geIIng mussed- either. In fact. she
seemed pretty glad TO see me
she TOOK me into the little den where
we spent such a happy time the even
lhg tod her i was ranking with the

Pfre with you If she was glad to see
me, OF Just glad because I was glad ]
ma tnaI am becoming more analyti-
cal IN my thought about Josephine.
aisllke the trait, and must cure myself
If man is given cake. he should
not try 10 tell by the taste jus. how
many eggs there are in it, ard how
nuch sugar That is a WOman's habit
and won't be guilty.
j told her about the man from the
vest, but ] didn't enjoy telling IT. The

Countless energy. and I wanted to for

head and hold her tight, and never say
