THE SCRANTON T1UBUNE-SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1901.
:f-
& S He, She and I
SIIIJ WAS Ills Intellectual su
unrlor ntul she knew It.
She ImiiRlnml somn of their
lloliemlan friends calling
him a conimon-DlacQ boro
nnil a conceited fool. All
she could say wus that hta
Htuhbiiin Inattention to the
young u omen In the houso had bosun
by piquing hrr curiosity nnd ended by
making her helplessly, Idiotically In
love with him.
"If he only unbent It would nil pass
.nvay," she assured herself. "I certain
ly couldn't ko on loving such nn unin
teresting man. It's nil so abnormal, so
morbid."
Well, ho did not unbend, and what
t-liii called her morbid feeling grew ntul
Brew, so tlmt with all her cleverness
and practical common sense she often
caught hersidf doing things for which
she called herself "even u bigger fool
than he."
Having seen him read a certain nov
el one day, she hastened to buy tho
book nnd to read It through, so as to
be able to dlscuis It with him. She
found It slllv, pointless as she had
expected yet she enjoyed the reading
of It greatly, Kvery sentence was sat
urated with a fascinating, Irresistible
flavor, tho hone of talking nbout tho
story with him.
"Hut he's a fool nnd the novel Is as
foolish as ho Is, and unless you are
burning to make a fool of yourself too,
you had better keep quiet," said a
voice.
"I know It, I know It, but I'm so
weak, so helpless. If he only said
something about the story, about tho
man In the moon, about anything. Oh,
what shall I do What shall I do?
What shall 1 do?"
"I sec you are reading 'llroken Uvea.'
I knew the book by the cover. What
do you think of It?"
"Pretty good story."
"It Is. I like the way Heir Gotncrht
breaks tho news to his slater-ln-law,
don't you? It's awfully funny," the
poor girl says sheepishly.
"Oh, yes, lfa a nice story." he ans
wers Icily.
That was nil, and she spent the eve
ning In nn agony of solf-torture nnd
lovo sickness.
II
All this 1 could see, In a General
way, for myself, and later on when wo
were having our queer frank convei ra
tions, everything she told me confirmed
my theory.
It was from sheer curiosity that I
began to watch her the same sort of
curiosity as that which was the oiigln
of her self-humlllatlon. I saw that
she was getting entangled, nnd I found
It good sport to watch her. I have al
ways been fond of observing human
nature, nnd hers seemed one of tho
most Interesting cases I hnd ever come
ncross. 1 could see her rolling down an
inclined plane, holding on for dear
life and helplessly rolling on nil the
time. Where would sho lnnd? How
would she come out at nil?
Hut my breathless excitement the
excitement of a spectator leaning for
ward In his seat In tho amphitheatre
gradually gave way to the horror of a
passerby stopped by the slulek of a
drowning man. Yes, horror. At first
It wns only pity. It broke my heart to
see this excellent, tactful, Intellectual
girl In this ugly hcrape. But when I
took a closer view of the situation I
was literally horrified.
"It's cruel to let her go on rolling
downward until sho Is dashed against
the bottom of tho precipice," I said to
myself, and I set myself tho task of
saving her.
I studied the game carefully, and af
ter u good deal of casting about for
u plan of campaign I said to myself
thut the remedy was deduclblo from
my diagnosis of the case, and that tho
only way to help her was to place nn
other Inattentive man a good, Intel
ligent fellow between herself nnd that
fool. From what I hnd learned of her,
I felt suro that for some time sho
would be In lovo with both of them,
nnd that little by little tho "rasy
faced ass," as I used to call the cause
of her misery, would pass out of her
dreams. Of course it. would bo some
thing llko tearing out a piece from
your right slcovo to mend rt hole In
your left, but even then No. 2 was
supposed to be a decent. Intelligent
fellow, and, even supposing thnt her
attentions remained unreturned, he
would not let her make a fool of her
self the way that Impossible specimen
of my sex did. It would bo the lesser
JUSTICE
is jKrtrayed as a woman,
yet her sex might complain
that they get scant benefit
of her power. There is
little justice, it would teem,
in the suffering that nuny
women undergo month after
mouth.
Justice acts upon the
legal maxim that ignor
ance of the law cannot be
pleaded in niitfjjation of
punishment. It is ignorance
which causes so much
womanly sulTering. Ignor
ance of the requirements of
womanly health ; ignorance
on the part of those who
attempt to cure and fail,
and ignorance of the fact
that Dr. Tierce's Favorite
Prescription cures womanly
diseases. It establishes
regularity, dries weakening
drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration and cures
female weakness.

might move out. In course of time siio
would got over It nil, and thus bo
cured of both love affairs.
It wns nil pure theory, nnd as I wns
wot king It out I seemed to be engaged
on a mathematical problem whoso ele
ments might have been algebraic for
mulas, for nil the personal Interest I
was taking In the matter. Hut I was
suro It would work well In practice,
nnd I was ns feverish to put tho
sehemo in execution as nn Inventor 13
to sec his model In motion.
III.
I took stock of all the young men at
the place, nnd to my Indescribable dis
appointment I failed to find a "No. i."
There were several lino looking fel
lows, but thoFo I found good looking
enough to suit were not reserved nnd
cold enough, while those who hnd this
merit, aii(l were clever nnd well-bred
besides, nil happened to be rather
homely and anything but Interesting
from a woman's point of view, ns I
Imagined it. To play any of these
against our fool, to turn her attention
toward him by the thousand nnd 0110
tricks which I had devised seemed Im
probable. Tho greatest trouble of all
wns that that fool of ours was a hand
some man, and to compete with him
ono would hnve to be at least good
looking nnd well built.
I thought I was In despair. "I
thought," because all tho time I was
mentally passing our men In review,
rejecting one after tho other; I knew
thut my mind had been mndo up from
the start, nnd that so far from ac
tually despairing of over finding tho
ono who would prove fit to servo un
No. i!, I had found on eligible candi
date long ngo, perhaps long before
tho entire Bchemo had tnken definite
fchapu In my brain.
I need not tell you who that candi
date wns. Tho laws which govern hu
man nntiiro are universal, nnd you
certnlnly knew that I wns going to
elect myself to tho Interesting post
tho very moment my plan boenmo
clear to you. Not that I am unusual
ly Immodest, for I am not. I never
considered myself handsome, nor un
usually bright nor out of tho ordinary
In nny other respect. But all this Is
only true of those enses where I
speak or think of myself In the ab
stract, without drawing nny concrete
comparisons between nnybody else
and myself On the occasion In ques
tion, however, I somehow felt that
none of the other men of our p'aoe
would suit tho plan except Its author
himself. I was not a handsome man
In theory, but I certnlnly seemed bet
ter looking than tho others, and good
looking enough to have her fall in lovo
with me. provided that I ignored her
enough to make her feel hurt. Far 1
It fiom me ever to think myself tho
fool's rival In point of personal ap
peal ancc, but then I am mi bugbear,
either, nnd added to my good looks
I have something which In "nffalrs of
the heart" weighs far more than mere
physical beauty. Thero Is certainly
more intelligence In my oyesj moie
life In my every feature.
I was too full of lift, for the pur
poses of my scheme, I thought, but
this could bo easily remedied.
IV.
I systematically nnd studiously Ig
nored her, nnswering her occasional
questions In preoccupied monosylla
bles; and the less I tnlkod to her the
more vivacious nnd garrulous I bo
enmo with tho other women.
The effect of nil this was at first or
a character which I hnd not expected.
She thought I folt offended by some
thing which In her wretched absent
mindedness she might have done to
me, and after vainly trying to discover
tho cause of my apparent resentment
she nsked me ono day why I was "so
olllsh."
"Otnsh?" I asked with a most elab
orate mien of cuiloslty, Indifference
and Impatience.
"Yes, olllsh," she returned, coloring,
but with a meiry little laugh. "You
tife to hnvo a good deal more to say to
me, so I thought I might have fallen
from grace."
"You could not do that for the sim
ple reason thnt you're grace Itself,"
wns my answer, nnd I made It with
that perfunctory, slightly boied smllo
which says: "I nny It more to show 1
law hnndy I am nt compliment mnU
ing than to Hatter vou."
Alt seemed to go well. I was play
ing my part llko a consummate artist,
and she certainly kept tiark of me.
Shi did not exactly look nettled by the
pieferences I showed for the society
of tho other women, but she was
plainly Interested In me, and I was 1
waiting to seo that Interest turn Into ,
a more decided feeling. 1
Week after week passad, and still '
slic was humiliating herself before
that monument of boredom nnd stu
pidity, while her Interest In mo was
assuming a peculiar character. At
llrst I was at a loss to understand
whnt It really mtaut. but by nnd by
I began to feel ho miserable that one
fjoomy morning I said to myself:
"You nro as idiotically In love with
her ns sho Is with him."
I dropped my arms In despair. It
was appallingly true. My remedy had
turned out to Iu poison poison for my
self without serving as an antidote
for her. I gnashed my teeth, I paced
my room, I ran my lingers In and out
of my hair. Hvery time I thought of
her love for him I felt sick with Jeal
ousy. It wns Jealousy puro and simple
ncAV. Nor did I try to deceive myself
that It was sympathy for her, a desire
to save a fellow creature from a fool
ish position. And now that it la nil
over and a thing of tho half-forgotten
past, I may as well own that this sort
of Interest had never bsen tho guiding
motlvo In all I wns trying to do for
her. It seems to me that when I told
myself to try and come to tho rescue
of n, good girl rolling down hill, I was
acting ns a wretched hypocrite. I
kr.ow I wanted hor for myself, but
dared not own It In my own bruin.

To be sure, tho funniest purt uf tho
gome wns tho ono sho played In It.

Oi ' it nn aw'1, .iniio! it burned
in, 1 .n't. It poUjued what llttlo rest
1 mlcht huvo eked out.
At Inst It was I who lost ull self-control
"Tell mo something," I said to her,
significantly. ,
"Don't my eyes tell all you want mo
to tell you by word of mouth?" sho
asked, merrily.
"No, no!" I exclaimed, so vehement
ly that eho burst out laughing.
"Well, I think wo can afford to bo
perfectly frank, can't we?" she said.
"I have been watching your llttlo
game as closely ns you havo mine. It
doesn't work, does It? It has proved a
double-edged weapon, but serves you
right. Next time you'll mind your
business, won't you?"
Sho said It bo good-naturedly, nnd
at the samo time with such a peculiar
touch of sadness sadness which
seemed to relate to my case as much
ns to her own that after a minute of
friendly silence I exclaimed:
"And a marvclously clever woman
such as you nro Is In lovo with
such"
"Sh!" she Interrupted mo. "Wo
mustn't bo too frank. Your scheme
has done something, however, although
not exactly tho thing It wns expected
to do. Watching you has absoibed n
good deal of the tlmo which used to
go elsewhere. It was awful Interesting
nnd It certainly Intercepted tho growth
of the malady which you undertook to
cure."
"Ilns It?"
"It has, and It may euro It com
pletely, but then there Is that other
trouble In Its placo and who's coins
to euro that?"
"You, you!" I prayed. She shook hor
head mournfully.
"I wish I could. Hut when I get out
of my own misfortune, us I certainly
will sooner or later, I shall need rest, a
lot of rest."
"And after you have lostcd. at the
end of severnl months? I shall follow
you. I can wait. I'm willing to wait
as long as I live. I'll wait, anyhow."
I know thnt my talk was silly, boyish,
commonplace, but my love had made a
fool of mo.
"All right, wait If you wish to take
chances, but let me alone for the pres
ent. Don't watch me. Move out and
don't call for three, no, four six
months. Six months."
"It's cruel. I can't live without
you."
"Hut you said you were strong
enough to wait. As to myself, I am
strong enough to struggle out of my
llttlo mire by myself. I'll get out of
it. I can promise you that much. As
to your case, I assume no obligations.
I renlly don't know what the situation
may be. Are you willing to leave It
go at that? Yes, another thing. I
llko you. I always have. I may as well
tell you that. For tho rest, I wish to
bo left to my own little problem."

When I called six months later sho
met mo with a radiant smile.
"Will you marry me?" I asked.
"Yes," she said, as a matter of
course. New York Commercial Advertiser.
