ut doesn't work." he announced,
dolefully. I've done as you advised,
but she might as well be dead as far
as any effort she's made to see me-"
1t began to look like failure for Rich
ard Jerome, love mediator.
Wei have to try a new plan," he
said after a pause, during which he
resorted to the ancient corncob. "Call
her up and tell her you've got to see
her just once more. Then go to 1t.
Tell her you're desperately in love,
and that she must marry you. Be a
cave man within reasonable limits.'
Three days later Mr.. Mania APP
peared for the third time, and this
time he was wretchedness personifed.
IT'S all over" he cried bitterly,
kicking over Richards waste basket.
"She says she doesn't love me and
will not marry me. She says I'm a
nice enough sort of a chap, but she
doubts that l lave real character. For
one thing, I'm too young, according to
her ideas. She wants an older man.
Richard was putting on the corncob.
He could n evade the fact that he
had come lace to face with his first
failure as Cupid.
in fact Mr.. Mania resumed, "she
told me there was one man in this
town that she admired and has loved
for four years. He's rather old for a
girl like me- she said, but I'd jump
at the chance to marry him. Some day,
perhaps, ell come my way, but If he
doesn't I'll never marry at ALL"
Richard emptied the aches from the
match and was preparing to apply the
flame to the tobacco when his client
went on:
"The funny part of it is, Julia has
never been In this mans society but
once four years ago, when she was his
partner on a Sunday school hayride."
Richard dropped the match sudden
ly. 1t had burned his finger. He sat
putting, but getting no smoke, and
asked:
"What did you say is her name?"
Julia Roth was the response.
The corncob fell and s~prinkled I'M
lighted tobacco over the floor, while
in his mouth Richard retained the
broken stem. He rose and took his hat
from q peg on the wall.
"Tm sorry" he said, as Mr.. Mania
prepared to leave. I'm dead sorry for
you; but I've got to admit that for
once I have failed as a heart doctor"
They stepped toward the door, list
~lessness in Mr.. Mania's gait, while in
Richards there was an unaccustomed
vigor. he opened the door and paused.
II don't mind letting you in on a
little secret" he said, and his eyes
were bright. i've loved that girl ever
since the hayride, but-well, I have
been a pretty good adviser in the love
affairs of others, but when it came TO
mine"
He placed an arm on the others
shoulder.
Tn dead sorry for you, really but
you can't blame me for wanting a little
heart throb of my own"
