A Mans
Mistake
"
Bp
GEORGE nuNsoN


(Copyright. 1Sl6. by w. q. Chapman.)
When Charles Dawson left home
with his fathers fervent wish that he
might eve return few had expected
to 9 him again. So when Tom Daw-
son died and left him his entire prop
erty, the flourishing farm and dairy,
and the lots on Midvale avenue, ag-
gregating a sum Of $4,000, everybody
knew that the ne'er.do-well would
turn up again soon.
He did. Very few people remem-
bered that Esther Rogers and Charles
had been engaged, but the few who
remembered s%peculated. Esther was
now a middlish-aged woman, which Is
not the same as middle-aged. She was
perhaps th~irty-seven. Charles must
be forty-three If he was a day. Would
the engagement be re~newed-that en-
gagement that Esther had broken at
her mothers insistence?
They met and resumed their friend
ship. People wondered, but little was
to be learned. They seemed just good
friends. Meanwhile Charles proved
that his journey West had sobered
him. He ran the farm systematically
and made good money out Of 1t.
Then Laura Dean came into his ex-
istence. Laura had been a little thing
in short dresses when Charles went
away. Now she was a young lady of
twenty-five, the prettiest in the vii
lage, and the gayest. Esther, watch
ing, saw that after Charles had met
Laura all the welcome in his eyes for
her seemed to fade away.
Like all good women, Esther craved
a husband and a home. She had

vlse and say. Thank you, sir. for the
honor you propose to do me, but l am
not taking any,"
Laura !" exclaimed Miss Rogers In
horror. Then, with rising Indignation,
Il think 1t is dreadful of you to pro.
pose to break a good mans heart in
that way, and l don't want to know
any about It."
Il believe you're after him yourself,
Esther" sailed Laura, mockingly. But
Esther walked past Charles in the
darkness, SO near that she almost
brushed him, and he heard her con-
vulsive sObbing as she went by.
Charles waited a few moments, but
In those moments he experienced one
Of those revulsions Of feeling that turn
love into bitter hatred. And then,
having regained his %self-control, he
went forward into the garden. "Miss
Dean" he called.
"Why, is That you, Mr.. Dawson?"
called Laura's voice out of the dark
ness. Il was hoping you would call
tonight. Do come and sit down be-
side me, won't you, and tell me about
the West"
Charles Dawson sat down on the
seat. He could just see Laura's white
dress. =
He cleared his throat. 1.-THE fact is,
I came to speak quite seriously to
you, Miss Dean" he said. 1T is a
subject l have thought over for a long
time. Now there Is the one question
In my mind, and I must ask it."
"What is itT asked Laura, softly.
Il am in love-" said Charles, taking
her hand in his. "And Haven't the
courage to ask her"
faint heart never won fair lady"
said Laura, letting her hand rest in
his. "Who is she? But let me see if l
can guess. I should say-well, Esther
Rogers"
you've hit it first time," answered
Charles.
Laura's hand leaped out of his.
"Wh-what" she stammered.
1T is Esther Rogers, and 1 have
loved her all my life" said Charles.
do you think I am worthy Of her?
Do you think there is any chance for
meY
"Oh, yes" said Laura, Historically.
Il suppose so. You are Of an age, you
,ssee," she added venomously.
"Then I shall ask her." said Charles,
rising. "Of course, a man with my in.
come has to be careful whom he asks.
So many women have mercenary in
clinations in this age. There are lots
of the young girls about here who
would jump at me-but I'm not taking
any"
"How dare you, Mr.. Dawson" be-
gan Laura, rising, too. do you dare
to insinuate that l."
"Oh, no, indeed; you misunderstood
me-" answered Charles. I-but per-
haps I made an unfortunate state
ment. Good-evening."
And, raising his hat, he left Laura
collapse upon the bench and made
his way leisurely to Esther's house.
His heart was singing, for he knew
now that youth turns to youth and
middle-age to middle-age; and he
knew, too, that his love for Esther,
deep in his heart, had been the guild
ing star Of his life.
Esther, standing in the living room,
looked at him piteously when he came
In. She could hardly restrain the
tears that came into her eyes. She
had resolved to go away, never to see
him again. 49,. What was he saying?
She looked incredulously at him;
she felt his arms about her and her
own heart beating; and then the long,
long waiting was merged into the
happy now,
The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1916-10-07

dreamed of Charles ever since his re.
turn. 1t would be a%ffectation to say
that she had not often forgotten him
during the years Of his absence. But
with his return the memory Of the old
love came back to her and, though she
dared not show it, she fancied Charles
was not Indifferent to her.
She fancied so that night when he
opened his heart to her. He told her
what a wreck he had made of his life.
II was a fool, Esther" he said unhap-
PLY. II squandered my youth. What
Is left to me now"
As he said this he looked up, and
suddenly Esther knew that her eyes
had answered him. She blushed furi-
ously. Now that she knew he cared
for her she was afraid. And then
we'll, then an interruption came
For q girlish voice rang out from
the street: Miss Rogers! Oh, Miss
Rogers, where are you"
1t was Laura, unconventional as al
ways. Of course she was invited in
and presented to Charles, and as soon,
as the man had set eyes On her he
began to dream again. He dreamed
Of a youth that was yet recoverable.
He looked at Laura as If she embodied
all that Esther had been.
After that the man and the girl
often met, and Esther shrank more
and more into her shell. 1t was plain
that Charles cared for her no longer.
AS for Charles himself, his mind vas
in a whirl, and he hardly knew what
he wanted; he was drawn like a mag
net by Laura's bright eyes and OBJ
vious interest in him.
Then, one evening, when he had EN-
tered the garden to call on Laura, he
was surprised to hear her in the little
summer house. It was pitch dark, and
before he could make himself known
the words he heard held him spell
bound. Laura was talking to Esther.
"Of course, l don't love Charles
Dawson" she was saying Indignantly.
Cant I have q little amusement with
the only eligible man left in town"
do you consider It amusement to
ruin a mans happiness and break his
hearth" asked Esther.
"Oh, mems hearts are not so easily
broken" Laura answered. HE thinks
he is irresistible, that middle-aged
man Of over forty, and I am going to
teach him a little lesson which he
sorely needs.
II have been leading him on and to-
nifht I expect he will call, and a little
encouragement will soon bring him to
the proposing point. And then !! shall

evidently going to do his best to teach
his Quakers the forward passing
game. Reports become from Phila-

backs in the art of throwing the ball.
1t is something the Penn men knew
but little about last year and some
thing Folwell taught with effect at
Washington and Jefferson. This aer-
ial play worked we'll for Folwell5s pu-
Pills last year, but it takes much prac-
tice and as yet no team has made it a
complete success as a basis of attack.
1t has forced a neglect of defensive
measures. Up against a strong oppo-
nent with a well designed running at
tack, the forward passing eleven is
generally beaten back.
