Love at Seventeen.

Do you remember your first love af-
fair, your first serious one, Of course?
You were seventeen when it occurred,
and the object of your affections was
exactly your own age, q classmate, in
fact.
And you loved with love that kept
you awake all night and caused you to
dream all day. 1t was an impersonal,
above-the-earth kind of love. 1t set
you apart from your family. 1t en-
feebled you mentally and physically.
You did your tasks so inadequately
that your mother despaired and your
father concluded that he was the par
ent Of a sniveling defective. You were
impervious to insult. You loved TO
hear your name coupled with that of
your beloved, and yet-the beloved was
so much too good for you that you
never thought of letting your love pass
your lips. Never did the loved one
dream Of your love!
And when you were eighteen you
gazed in wonder at this former object
of your admiration. How could you
ever have imagined you loved anyone
as unattractlve, as stupid and altogeth-
er ENJOYABLE as that! SO do the years
change us !-Dellneator.

Haven't You Suspected That Am IN
Love With Your"

He met Viola there and was at once
smitten. He was old, penurious, crafty
and Viola disliked him intensely. 1t
was only after several visits that Viola
realized that his smirkings and atten-
lions were the advance couriers of
proposal of marriage.
''Your father is dead, perhaps" he
told her one day. II must have my
money or you"
'Me?" exclaimed Viola in amaze
ment.
Haven't you suspected that am in
love with you?" grinned the old skin
flint.
''You-you speak Of what is impos-
sibleW faltered Viola, and after that
whenever he called, she had her aunt
who was the family housekeeper, meet
him.
One day, however, Bayne insisted
that he see Viola personally. He was
ugly to the point Of ferocity when she
received him coldly.

property unless my interest is paid" he
announced.
II am sorry" fiuttered Viola meekly,
shut unless my father returns"
'IIe will never return" growled
Bayne brutality. "He Is dead long since
and you may as well make up your
mind to 1t. See here, you had better
be sensible, unless you want to be a
beggar. I'll give you thirty days to de-
eide to become my wife,"
"That will never bew affirmed Viola
Indignantly.

And the thirty days were nearly past,
and, but for the faithful love of Julian,
she would have been crushed utterly.
OF all this Julian, was thinking as he

to do.

In the
War Zone

"If father were only here! If l only
knew that he were alive and well 7
sighed Viola Bliss.
1--WE can only hope, dear. If he is,
fear it will be a sad homecoming. He
was caught in the direct war zone in
Belgium, as we know. He wrote that
he had made large investment. If so
1t must have been a loss, for the sec
ton he was in has been totally devas-
tated."
Her loyal fiance, Julian Morse, strove
to comfort her and partially succeeded.
His manner was grave and thoughtful,
however, as he left the Bliss home. He
did not impart to Viola all that he
thought. To his mind, Doctor Bliss had
not only lost his fortune, but his life,
In the mad whirl of war.
Once only since the letter arrived an
nounclng a great investment and an in
tention to return home, had they heard
had been received bearing many for
eign transit tags. No letter arrived to
explain why it was sent. When Viola
came to open it she found six framed
oil paintings. They were mere daubs
and she wondered why her father, a
connoisseur in matters of art, had sent
them. They were stored in the garnet
and letter expected explaining their
shipment, but none such appeared.
Then there had arisen another COM
plication. Doctor Bliss was virtuoso
in certain lines. He went abroad regu-
larly, being a man of comfortable
means, and took considerable money
with him, usually returning with an
tiquities which he resold to museums
and individuals at a good profit. This
last trip he had mortgaged his home
for large amount, informing Viola
that he had promising speculation in
view which required large cash out
lay. The mortgage had been made out
in favor of one Andrew Bayne, a
money loaner. When the first interest
came due, Bayne visited the Bliss home.
