THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

some man she does not know
well. But surely there can be no
possible Improperly in two girls
riding with 4 man whom they
have known for years"
Old-Fashioned Ideas
"well-perhaps I am old-fash-
ioned. but l think it looks rather
queer. my dear" Mrs. Higgins tried
TO explain.
Who's going to see u.s." Mildred
demanded. However with a
light laugh, there's no use in
fuSSing about il now. For Mrs,
Bruce is going. Honora," turning
10 her sister, why did you ask TO
sit on the back seat with Mrs.
Bruce? Do you really mean that
you prefer sitting there? Won't II
be rather slow music for you
Wouldn't YOU rather be in front
with Arthur?
Il like Mrs. Bruce very much, .
Honora evaded. 4 Just suggested
my sitting with her-for l think 1t
will be pleasanter for Arthur to
have a girl in front with him.
But you might have been that
girl" Mildred reminded her.
Honora did not reply. In her
heart she was wondering If Arthur
would by any chance have suggest
ed her occupying the place by him.
Then. as she reColleCted the look in
his eyes when he saw Mildred COM
ing up the path this afternoon, she
sighed inaudibly.
OF course he would want Mildred
by him,
Yet il had not been consideration
for her sister that had made Honora
Brent propose that she herself be
next 10 Mrs. Bruce. II had been a
desire 10 spare Arthur the painful
knowledge that Mildred had been
disappointed or Chagrined ut the
knowledge that his mother was TO
accompany them upon their jaunt.
For the older sister did not feel
At all sure that Mildred-pretty
and wilful-Cared any more for
Arthur Bruce than for any one of
the various young men whom she
knew. The two girls and Arthur
had always been good friends. Since
his return 10 Fairlands from col
lege Honora had seen signs that
the mans interest in hSr attrac-
tive little sister might develop into
something warmer than mere
friendship.
Her suspicious along this line
increased as she watched the
pair on the front seat during the
moonlight drive across the river
and up the valley.
Mrs. Bruce was an agreeable
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-11-18

woman and a persistent talker, so
Honora had abundant time for re-
hection while seeming to pay
strict attention to her companion's 5
conversation. The girl leaned back
comfortably and drank in the
beauty OF the night.
II was such 4 night as comes
sometimes early in October. The
air was as clear as crystal. on the
right the river stretched like a
stream of molten silver; on the
opposite shore the lights of the city
shone yellow, and. on the left.
We're comfortable farmhouses. In
many Of the gardens were spread
huge white sheets 10 protect the
late flowers from a delayed and
probable frost.
At tirst Arthur and Mildred con-
versed merrily. From scraps OF
their conversation Honora knew
that their speech was only OF light
and trifiing matters.
She was glad this was so. She
did not acknowledge to herself how
keen was her interest in Arthur
Bruce. But she did recognize the
fact that she found him more
charming than heretofore.
That was but natural, she mused
OF late years she had seen him so
seldom that she had not realized
how he had developed, how much
he had broadened ana deepened.
Did Mildred appreciate these i'm
provements in him?
An Unwelcome Thought
This question which thrust itself
upon her consciousness seemed al
most disloyal TO her sister. and she
changed the current of her refiec-
tions abruptly, and began to listen
once more 10 what Mrs. Bruce was
saying.
But the matron's remarks did not
alter the trend of the girls
thoughts, for she was speaking of
Arthur.
The boy is so glad to get back
to Fairbanks" the mother was say
ing, and it means everything TO his
father and me TO have him here.
When parents have an only child,
they feel that all their eggs are in
one basket, as it were. Its been
hard for US 10 have him away so
much, but We hope, now that he is
back. he will stay right near us.
Even il he marries. l won't lose
him-always supposing he marries
the right kind of girl. And of
course he will"
"Of course he will" Honora
echoed family.
She was suddenly embarrassed
and at a loss as to what to say.
She could not understand her own
mental processes at this iuncture.

Dinner in the Brent household
was a simple AFFAIR, Yet the table
was always daintily set, and the
glass, silver and china that had
been a part of Mrs. Brent's wedding
furnishings shone and glistened
brightly.
Mrs. Higgins did not sit at the
head or foot of the table. She in
sisted that these seats be occupied
by the TWO sisters. But she pre-
sided from her place At the side Of
the board with a quiet dignity that
proved her birth and breeding.

Mrs. Higgins looked up anNiously.

proved. Il would not want you TO
