MARION AND HARRY
: BY JOHN HAND.

Kitty met Marion Haynes at the
door.
"Why, Marion, dear, this seems too
dear to be true" she said. And now
! that I've got you here l am not going
to let you go home for whole month
at least"
The girls had been inseparable at
college, but they had graduated at the
same time, five years before, and since
then they had not seen each other, for
they lived in towns nearly hundred
miles apart. Gradually the exchange
Of letters had dwindled, and in spite
Of their continued affection they had
become reconciled to the separation.
Then Kitty had seemed to discover
new interest in her friend. She had
written to her to come and spend a
week or two with her, and had insisted
until Marion came.
That evening, when the girls were
alone, Kitty said:
Marion, have secret to tell YOU"
Marions eyes instantly fell to the
level of Kitty's lap. But the engage
ment finger had no ring on it.
1--WE haven't spoken a word Of love
as yet" Kitty continued, but l am
very fond of Harry. and l know he
cares for me. Now, Marion, you re.
member when we were at college we
promised never to have any secrets
from each other. Has there been any
romance in your own life?"
Marion remained dumb. Some things
are too tragic to be told.
"You see, about Harry and me-" Kit
ty prattled on-she had always been
a chatterbox-"it is this way: l met
him through our mutual friends the
Fernleys, six months ago, and we liked
each other from the first minute. And
he was SO interesting; he had had an
unhappy love affair couple of years
ago. Mr.. Lamont was wildly in love
with some girl or other, and she Tilted
him."
Marion sat as still as though she
had been turned to stone. Harry La
mont! She ought to have known that
fate had not brought her there for no
purpose.
1t was very sad" Kitty continued
artlessly. This girl and Harry were
wildly in love with each other, and
they would have been married long
ago but for the Misunderstanding

lawyer, and he had been defending

NO EARS FOR Anything ELSE
Unlucky Bettor Had All His Attention
Centered on Remarks That HE
Wife Was Making.

They were talking about the race
track. and when the man with the
Van Dyke beard mentioned the fact
that he had seen his first horse race
only the day before. the old race goer
with the gray beard leaned over and
queried:
Didn't you think 1t great sport! Z"
"Y'e-s." he slowly admitted, but his
looks belied his words.
Mighty exciting, isn't IT." contin-
ued the first speaker enthusiastically.
Eyes, 1t certainly u.s." was the quiet
answer.
so that was your first race, eh?"
THE very first, sir, and my last, too,
I'm thinking"
But you cant possibly mean that?
You certainly must have enjoyed such
rare sport?"
AT first-yes."
When the horses got away at the
post didn't 1t make your hair stand
up?"
Seems to me it did"
And as they came up on the home
stretch, neck and neck, could you con.

Il managed to-"
That's funny" unused the old race
goer with cold look at the other.
Say. now, honestly, when the people
rose up and shouted as in one voice

We'll, the fact isl replied he with
the Van Dyke beard, as II he thought
some explanation should be given,
the fact is wasn't listening to the
shouts of the crowd or paying much
attention to the horses after the first

voice, "it is no use playing with each

me what you are going to do"
What l am going to do?" Marion
found herself automatically repeating.
why, Harry"-the word broke spon-
taneously from her lips-"I am not 60
ing to do anything. For Kitty's sake
no mention of the past must be made.
We have met for the first time; we
are Indifferent strangers. That is all"
| He took step nearer to her.
THAT is your last word, suppose?"
he answered bitterly. But want to
tell you first what I think of you.
There was time when I felt crushed
by your unkindness, but then real
lied that If you had loved me you
would at least have let me explain.
You would have read my letters, or
given me one interview. 1t was a
wretched subterfuge to break off an
engagement of which you had grown
weary"
"Mr. Lamont" said Marion quietly,
this is not the time or place for re-
ordinations. The past is past and
you are Kittys. Believe me, the pain
l have to bear for my foolish pride"
They stood face to face under the
glow Of the lamp and there was no
sound heard except that of their
breathing and Of the slow clock-ticks.
Il have repented thousand times,

INJURED the man, and in moment he
had taken her into his arms and she
was lying upon his breast and weeping
out the sorrows of half ten years.
Marion, don't know what you
mean about Kitty" he said, "but it was
to meet you that she asked me here.
She learned about our broken engage
ment from the Fernleys, and"
A musical laugh broke in upon their
ears. They started guiltily apart, to
see Kitty, respondent in her evening
gown, gazing mischievously from one
to the other.
"kitty!" exclaimed Marion accusing
ly, but there were happy tears upon
her cheeks.
