Today's Short Story
Maudlin
Letter

N ARGARET PARKE was q very
superior girl. II you ask in
what way she was superior l
can't tell you.
Emerson Falkner as soon as he knew
her wanted her for his wife. Why he
wanted her he could not explain ever
to himself.
Talkner was a methodical man and
never went about anything Of impor'
lance without thinking out how it had
better be done. THAT girl a never
be won by nonsense" he said. "She
must first Of all respect the man she
marries and love him for his moral
ard intellectual worth" Acting upon
this, he began his courtship by intro
ducing, when with her, topics in which
she was most interested. He found
that her taste for books ran In much
the same lines al his own. and this
made them companionable.
Though Falkner was a good talker,
he was a better writer. As an ANA.
teur he had done some very good lit
erary work. His forte was the essay
On one occasion when absent he wrote
Miss Parke a series Of letters which
when he returned she told him were
we'll worthy Of publication. He sug,
gested that she keep them.
When Falkner had thus done what
he could to commend himself to the
lady he desired he went to see her
one evening braced for a proposal. He
told her that his friendship with her
had been so delightful that he feared
to risk it by mentioning the word
love: that If that word would spoil the
other, friendship, he desired that she
would consider it unspoken. She seem
ed moved by this delicate way of put
ting it, and he was encouraged. but
she asked for time, and when he re
ceived bis answer it was that she wish
ed the friendship to be continued. He
naturally inferred that this meant she
desired the love left out. He was
greatly disappointed.

Ready For Him.
A conductor stumbled twice over the
foot Of a small boy. Looking back at
the mother, the conductor said:
"Some people seem to have very
awkward children"
"Yes,' said the mother. II was just
thinking your mother had one."

He resolved that it should be exact.
~ as she desired-a case Of friendship.
His attentions were continued.
When Miss Parke was about to go
to the country for the summer Falkner
called to say goodby. On the corner
just before reaching her house a boy
put q bunch Of violets under his nose.
Their perfume was delicious. and it &C.
Cured to Falkner to take them with
him as a parting gift. Miss Parke's
eyes lighted as she received them, and
she thanked him with a kindly smile.
They conversed for half an hour, dur.
ing which she wore the flowers.
In his heart Falkner did not give up
hope of ultimate success in winning
the girl he wanted, but during this
summer he fell Ill and during his ILL
ness showed a weakness which he sup
posed would ruin all. He wrote Miss
Parke how miserable he was and end
ed the letter with these words: II lie
here thinking of you as l saw you last,
with the vi0lets in your corsage. l
have vent out for some that l may In
hale their perfume the better to bring
you back to me. I wish. dear hoart,
that you really here to place a
cool hand IN nay throbbing temples"
The next meraiag he felt much bet
ter and asked If his letter had been
mailed, intending IL it had not to de-
stroy it. 1t had gone on its way, and
he groaned. The next day he vas
worse and was tempted to write again.
"maudlin." as he expressed it, but re-
sisted. On the morning of the third
day who should be uslered into his
room by his landlady but Miss Parke.
A few days nursing brought the in
valid to cOnvalescence. during which
interval there came about a betrothal.
The lady had changed her mind, but,
womanlike. could not or would not
give a reason.
One day later on Falkner asked his
wife where the letters he had once
written her were-those she had COM
mended so highly. A friend-an editor
had expressed a desire to see them.
Mrs. Falkner could not remember
them for some time and when she
did admitted that she had burned
them. Then another day Nesting in
her treasure box Falkner found the
letter he had written her when he was
Ill. He blushed as he read it. then
tore up the ''maudlin scrawl." ,
He never knew that 1t had won him
a wife.
