Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1916-05-19
I would not have to explain to the
girl that she had made mistake and

on the porch or elsewhere about the
house or grounds she would cut me
with one contemptuous glance.
And now l must make a confession,
a confession Of cowardice. There is
something of the coward about one
who has wronged another and felt
that should crlnge before this girl l
had permitted to think was hes lover.
True, did not kiss her. She kissed
me, and so quickly that could not
prevent her doing so. But acknowl-
edged to myself that would not have
prevented her II had had no end of
time
I did not dare go downstairs to sup
per, but ordered meal served in my
room. Contemplate creature that l
was. did not dare go out of 1t, in.
tending to get away by an early train
the next morning.
About o o'clock there came knock
at my door, and In walked the man l
had personated. He resembled me,
but 1t seemed to mo there was consld-
cradle difference In our appearance.
There was thundercloud on his brow.
"pm in for It," said to myself; "but,
thank heaven, it's not the girl have
to facev
For q few minutes listened to a
tongue lashing such as have never
heard before or since. At first bowed
before the storm, but presently my
anger began to rise Not one word
did l speak during that tempestuous
interview, the hurricane blowing all
one way, till, like a thunderbolt, fell
upon my visitor and sent him sprawl
ing on the floor.
He rose with blood in his eye and
was coming for me when he suddenly
restrained himself. "This Is no place
and no way to settle so important
matter. You will hear from me pres
emily"
With that he went out, slamming the
door, and heard him stamping down
tho corridor. 1t was IL o'clock whom
q young man who gave his name as
McCabe came to my room with chal-
lenge. was expected to meet Mr.
Thomas Underwood the next morning
at sunrise at such place as I might
designate. Not seeing how could re-
fuse, consented to do 30. provided
Mr.. McCabe would act as my second
as well as that of my opponent. !
also wrote note to DO given the
young lady at such time as McCabe
thought proper, apologizing for not
having made her instantly aware Of
her mistake. Having settled these
matters with my visitor, he departed.
sent word to the office that should
DO called at an early hour In the morn
ing, then turned In. and, my mind hay
ing been relieved by my apology to tho
lady and punching her lover, fell into
a comfortable slumber
The next morning as went out on to
the porch who should be waiting for
mo but the young lady whose blunder
had made all the trouble. She advanc-
cd toward me.
"Where are you going" she asked.
ITO leave by train" replied, brave
ly lying.
mo. you're not You are going out
to fight Mr.. Underwood"
