The Daily Story
A Decision From the ead-By F a Mitchell

ever. He felt that whether they were
together or separated in this world or
in the next they were one forever.
Three years later-Donald was seven
teen-the Erskine family removed to a
distant region. Their parting occurred
at the trysting place where they had
so often met, ana neither doubted that
they would meet again when they had
passed from youth to manhood ana
womanhood. But they were never to
meet again In mortality. Three years
later Amy died.
Four years after their parting Don
aid. who had come 10 mans estate.
one spring morning, sorrowfuI, with
reluctant step passed from the road %
the wood where he had been so happy
with his lost love. There had been no
change. Birds were twittering. the
brook gave forth its music, the shadows
of the leaves fecked the turf.
AS Donald approached the branch
seat he suddenly stopped aIsd gazed
as though he saw some ugly apparition
A man sat on the branch wearing
countenance Of grief. Then Donald
with quicker step approached the man
and said to him:
why are you here?"
y G~a mourning a lost love-
a lost love! Who may that lost
love beg"
MY Amy-Amy Stanford
"Your Amy7"
my Amyi Mine IN life; miBe IN
DEATH"
There was pause, during which the
two men regarded each other with q
strange emotion. Finally Donald spoke.
Did Amy Stanford love your
"She did"
+You lie"
q LEI You have strange conf
dence."
Confidence, but not strange conf
dence. II you speak the truth she was
not what she was. and that is impos-
sible. But st is sacrilege for me 20
dispute with you on such a subject"
Advancing to the trunk OF the tree
where there was a cavity IN the wood.
Donald thrust In his hand nearly to
the shoulder and drew forth a small
metal box, took a key from his pocket.
unlocked the box and took from it a
paper. Without looking at It ne hand
ed it TO the man who claimed 20 be
his rival for one who had passed to
another existence. The latter read Il
eagerly. Then suddenly It fell from
his hands, and, rising. be stalked away.
Donald, before parting with Amy,
had given her the box and had exacted
n promise that from time to time she
would write him on a slip OF paper
contained in it a message and place
Il IN the cavity. Some day he would
come and get IL.
What had been written on the paper
WAS known only to two living men
and-the dead

When Donald Erskine was fourteen
years OF age his father bought place
on one or the principal roads leading
from the city. The house stood in a
large lot, and in the adjoining lot on
one side stood another house OF about
the same size. There was no other
house within half a mile
Donald had long wished for a gun.
but his father would not consent to his
having one so long IS be lived in the
city. but when they moved to the
country the boy was given a small
rife. The day after reaching the new
residence Donald went 10 a wood back
Of the house with his gun. IL was in
the spring OF the year, when shooting
was not In order. but he wanted TO see
how 10 would feel to be In a wood with
q gun.
Donald found something better than
a bird In the woed-a girl about his
own age gathering wild flowers. Chill
dren don't usually require an introduc-
ton. and a boy with a gun and a girl
gathering wild flowers in a wood were
not likely TO forego an acquaintance
from such a default.
Donald learned that the girl was
Amy stanford and that she lived in
the next house TO his own home. Since
he did not feel at liberty to shoot the
birds he leaned his gun against a tree
and hunted with the girl for flowers.
When they bad gathered quite a num-
Der they looked about for seat on
which they might arrange them into a
bouquet
Come with me-" said Amy, and she
led Donald to a tree from which a
branch a few feet from the ground
stood out horizontally far enough TO
make room for the two Of them, then
turned in a perpendicular direction.
There the girl seated herself, spread
ing the flowers In her lap, and Donald
sat down beside her.
Then followed the most delicious
hour in Donald's life Above were the
birds. twittering. flying TO and from
the nests they were building, an occa-
sionnl song. accompanied by the never
ending music OF a brook that bent
about the tree underneath which the
children were sitting, while at their
feet trembled shadows OF the half
grown leaves. Donald passed other
hours in the same position with the
same girl beside him. But there is that
in the first OF anything which never
comes again. On that branch he took
the FIRST kiss OF love" Nevertheless
there was not again quite the same
sweetness In the songs OF the birds,
the music Of the running w8ser, the
decked shadows Of the young leaves
Tree vrban ba tool the FIRST kiss OF
love may not be revealed 1t was to
him too sacred TO be spoken But we
may be sure 4. was not long delayed
The love that sprang up and blossom
ed there when Il blOOmed bloOmed for
