THE DAILY NOVELETTE
An Awakening
ny WILL T. AMES
THERE arc women who, having hung
up the Image of n man In their
hearts, never again take It down. A
whole literature has been built upon till
theory, a thousand songs have extolled
its truth. What the world knows less
well, or pretends net te knew, Is that
fidelity te a love secretly enshrined Is
net the .attribute of n single sex. Jehn
Wade, In twelve years' time, had never
been without the consciousness of .Ten
sion Brandt and if ever there was an
average man Jehn Wade was he.
Jehn was edging en toward forty, no
had played out the years of his youth
and early manhood as one at whlst lays
down the cards of a hand which, as the
saying Is, plays Itself. He had worked
and been moderately rewarded. He had
leafed, wholesomely, and was sound In
henlth. He had made friends and some
had gene nnd some had ntnyed. He had
always mingled and mingled new
with his fellow creatures; and he had
his roseate moods nnd hla grnv one,
his full, interesting days nnd his less
satisfying ones, like everybody. More
over, he had fcl his pulses quicken in the
presonre of mere than one lovely girl
or brilliant woman. And he had never
seen Jessica Brandt in nil these dozen
years. But she nbede with him. and
nil the action in his film of life was
upcrlmpesed upi-n the dim radiance of
her presence. Fer Jehn te have per
mitted himself te love would have been,
he knew, it spiritual sin ngnlnst the
woman in the ense, whoeer she might
be. He bad notions about things, hnd
Jehn. The nvenigc man is henet.
Yet Jessica Brandt was nnethcr man's
wife. And had been for mere thnn eleven
of the twelve years. Rich, tee, nnd
living in n world nB dlffsrerit from his
own as well might be. Hoinetlme Jehn
laughed at himself. And then, once or
twice, he had looked across the table n
little wendcrlngly nt Ann. And after
he had looked nt Ann for n moment he
would find himself hurrying te finish his
meal and would excuse himself te Aunt
Elsie and her stepdaughter nnd go awny
quickly. Afterward he would wonder
why he did that.
"Ann Perdue is qulte he loveliest
creature nnywhere." declared pretty
Mrs. Bnscem generously. "It Isn't only
that she's n raving beauty, which therc's
no denying. It's herself. She's se se
big, se splendidly charltable and bread,
nnd se clever and has such n sense of
humor. She's thirty-two. but she leeks
twenty-five. I believe nil the men en
eurth hnve goue blind!"
"Oh, ne: far from it." Mrs. Phelps
possessed the quietly observing type of
eyes. "It's n ca.se of self-determination
with Ann, I'm lire. Writing
women arc often that way, you knew."
"Well, 6he's human nnd a dear, and
it Isn't naturnl!" protested Mrs. Bas
com. Seven years age. at the end of a post pest post
Rrnduate course, Ann Perdue had yield
ed te her stepmother's IrislMonre that she
come home te live. That was the first
time she and Jehn had renlly met, for
he had only entered his aunt's house
hold nt his mother's death. They were
ox-ecllont friends from the start, nnd re re
mnined se. Perhaps a year later It was
that Ann said te Mra. Perdue: "Mether.
I enn't make Jehn fit in with any bach
elor type. He isn't selfish, he isn't
stingy, he isn't self-deprecatory, he
isn't wedded te any fad, he isn't ab
nnrmnlly dllTdcnt nnd bachelors arc
usually ene or the ether. It's interest
ing." "Going te make copy of him?"
Harris & Ewlnsr
COLONEL CHARLES KELLER
Of the Cerps of Engineers, TJ. S.
A., who lias been appointed Engi
neer Commissioner of the District
of Columbia by President Harding.
He was horn In New Yerk and
graduated from West Point In 1800
laughed Mrs. Perdue. "I wouldn't
reallj. It wouldn't sell. It's just that
he was Much 11 susceptible boy thnt he
expended himself in his salad days and
hnsn't any affections left te go en. 1
never snw any one se tcrriilcnlly in love
as he was with Jessica Brandt. 1 fancy
that finished him."
"Jessica Brandt? Of Hnredalc-en-
Hudsen?"
"Yes. ghe spent one summer here
with relatives when Jehn was twenty
nix. They had a tremendous affair but
It ended completely when sha went
nwny."
"She' was In college with me," said
Ann reflectively, adding nftcr n little,
"She wan verv beautiful I think the
most beautiful girl I ever saw."
Fer a while after that Ann studied
Jehn with the clever analytical faculty
that was beginning te get her work no
ticed. When she made up her mind
about him she ceased te study him or
te think about him unduly. She had
her work, and the power of self. disci
pline. But they were famous friends.
Jehn's work hnd te de with auto
mobiles nnd took him te the big meter
show in New Yerk. That was where
Jessica Brandt lived in a great house
just off Fifth avenue, in the 0.
Jehn had been in New Yerk scores of
times nnd hnd always been looking
nbeut, but he had never xwi her. lie
had never hoped te mere than sec her.
because it had been n final farewell
when the girl, in passienate tenrs, told
him there was no wny out of the mar
riage that her ambitious, desperately
financiering mother hnd nrranged with
the son of a millionaire. But just te
see her with these wonderfully elo
quent violet eyes like nene ethers any
where! Even today, as he explained
the peculiar virtues of the Aircutter
Six, he was looking about.
And then he was looking squarely Inte
the violet eye. Fer themereet fraction
of a second. Because th violet eyes,
looking ns squarely Inte his, Indicated
In thnt brief space recognition, haughty
resentment of his temerity, cold, In
tolerant snobbery; then passed him by.
"Come," she said te the man nt her
side.
She was gene. And all the fantastic,
beautiful structure of Jehn'a Idealism
came crashing te the ground In a whirl
wind of revelation. "Just one of thou
sands!" he breathed. "Vain and arro
gant nnd hard as flint. It's all there
In her eyes!"
And se It was that Jehn Wade came
home his own man for the first time
In twelve years. And because n golden
felly had turned te ice In his heart,
and because today was no longer blurred
by the shadowy outlines of a long age,
lm welcomed as never before the warm,
sound friendship of Ann Perdue, and
saw ns never before the sterling loveli
ness of her.
It was n matter of weeks. Then he
said te her: "Ann, you nre clever and
wise. Tell me, Is the heart of a man
worth having, te a woman, after Its
best years have been wasted en n
phantom?"
She looked up at him, frankly,
brnvely. "Is the phantom laid?" she
asked In turn.
"Then let me answer your question.
Jehn. Yes. And net in splte of the
phantom but because of It. Don't you
sunnese I knew. Jehn? And don't you
suppose the dear, blind faithfulness of
jour love was the very thing that has
made you seem nil these yenrs just
the finest, truest being In till the world
ns you nre? Yeu sec, Jehn. I knew
her: nnd I knew hew wondrously you
must have colored her and the pity
of it ! But I wouldn't hnve destroyed
jour dream for all the world. And
then, dear, when you came back from
the city, it was se plain that j-eu hnd
seen her, nnd your dream was dead. I
was sorry, sorry, Jehn. New I'm glnd
eh, se glnd!" Her eyes were shin
ing. "Because I knew the heart that
can leve like that, Jehn, can make
Iionven en earth."
"Thank pod, then," said Jehn for fer for
entlv, "for the night that has made
the dawn se beautiful 1"

The Tlire Billiard Balls and the Seul
Kiss
Once upon n time, dear children,
there were three billiard balls named
Ileddy and Whltey and Spotty. They
lived and played en a big green table
and were very happy together for n long
time. (Johnny, get off the piano.)
Nothing worried Reddy and A hltev
and Spotty. Being solid ivory, there
were few things they could understand
and still fewer they could remember.
They went through life dashing around
the table, bouncing off the rushien
nnd frolicking spertively nil day nnd
most of the night, until Alfred, the
nttendnnt, put them te bed In a little
box thnt just held the three of them
snugly.
They might have lived like this in
great contentment, if It hadn't been
that one day Spotty, who was n bru
nette girl billiard ball, caught Whltey,
the blonde girl billiard ball. Kissing
Itcddy In ene of the corners. Of course,
they hail often kissed before. She.
tee, hed kissed Rcddy nnd Whltey us
well. but they were little Meeting,
friendly kisses In passing. But this
was different Whltey nnd Reddy were
seul-kkslng, that's what they were,
and peer little Spotty's ivory head
ached. (Dorethy, you can't Btuff the
baby up the chimney. It Isn't done.)
What te de, what te de! Peer
Spotty was helpless, for she couldn't
move until hhe get her cue. (I knew
thnt'it a terrible pun, dear children,
but If you don't like it jeu can go
te bed. Meanwhile, Reddy and Whltey
wire kising with grent eseularity and
trnnscnlc-fenci', net te speak of cnlo cnle
rlfic content But just as Spotty fe.t
she would up nnd bust unless something
happened, along cnni a cueist and he
banged Spotty one. She went ocreBS
the table like n shot nnd wnlleped
Whltev right en the note. Or rather,
rlRht en what would have been her
neKp If she had had n nose.
Was Whltey surprised? Rawther!
But she seen get her revenge, Mr an
other cueist gnve her n snove and
banged her right Inte Spotty.
"Tnke thnt," says she, and benne
ing, oft she wnt, nil nreund the tnble,
nnd came buck nnd walloped Spotty
ngain.
and put tlin three bilHard balls Inte
their little box. And giless who wa
snuggled up ngnlnst Alfred? Ouess jour
head off. But meanwhile you'd better
gwan te bed. I've seen nbeut enough
of you kids for one day.
