WHEN SPRING CAME The Old Story Jumping at Con clusions. By JEANNE O. LOIZEAUX. It came tardily, with a sudden burst, after long, rigid cold, a win ter of discontent, the dreariest in William Failing's young life. From the past October when he had ceased to be, bo far as Betty was concerned, he had simply set his teeth and endured things, grinding out routine work , in the office aa though fiends pursued. For the rest, he ate and slept when ho could. He knew work was his only salvation, though he had now nothing to make money for. Betty was not. going to marry him. Washburn had won. Not that she ever promised to marry Failing. In fact, he had not asked her. But he had been so happily confident the whole beautiful summer and autumn that she cared just as he did. They had been inseparable to Such an extent Uiat Jerry Washburn had apparently given up his long pursuit of the girl and had gone "back East" Washburn had money and ability, too. ' Now Failing cursed himself for not having made sure of the girl in words. He had not spoken because he was working so desperately to be made junior partner in his business, so that he might have sometlung defi nite to offer her. Remembering this, his rupged blond face grew set and hard. She had not been willing to wait for him I 'She had dropped him without warning, cruelly, without a word be fore or after. The shock had come in October. One evening he had taken Betty out on the lake, and they spent hours of delight in the flooding moonlight The next morning the senior partner had called him into the "throno room," and after much pompous prelude made him junior partner with a fourth interest in the busi ness and an increase of salary that made his heart leap Betty-wards. Excited, exultant, he had tried to thnnk the senior partner, but the wise old chap had waved him away. "You'll be no good for some time get, out of here and take a vaca tion ! Off with you !" Failing had snatched his hat Then he ran out to the street and walked toward Betty's home. He had to feel the ground under his feet he could not have endured a street car! When lie reached the big old place and had rung the bell the little maid admitted him. Miss Betty was out for a walk. Would he see anyone else ? ' She would be back in an hour or so. - " 1 He would walk about; perhaps he would niwt her. His head and his heart were high. And never through a long life woukl he forget the heart-sickness of the rent. Down .the street he had swung nil radiant with jny, and turn ing a corner had almoift run over little Evie Cross, Betty's house guest, for whom he had never eared jimch. . Her big eves were almost fever ishly bright, but her cheeks were pale and she was manifestly excited. To pass time he turned and walked with her a little. "You're a laggard in love!" she flung at him. "Lochinvar hns come out of the East and captured your fair lady. He came last night. and invited himself to breakfast this morning. He dragged her off before he really decently could. I went off by myself, but I saw them cooing in the woods just now. What "made you let hira take her from under your very eyes?" Then she chattered on about any thing, everything. Failing left her as soon as he could. He never liked her wordiness. ,' So Washburn was back ! Well, he was sorry for the fellow! Failing gave Evic'i chaff no credence. Al most unconsciously he made his way hro""li he wood to the crooked patr frr uw rfailing had gone straight home aud packed his things. Then he made a call at the office and bank, bought a ticket, and by night was on his way to Colorado for a month's vacation in the wilds, taking his mis ery with him. At least he wouldn't have to hear her engagement dis cussed and, have people pity him. - 'Finally ho had come grimly back to work as though fiend-pursued. He j absinthe drinking prohibited where heard no word of her, and could not it has been more prevalent, the war to save his life have asked a ques- J wni. have effected a moral reform tion about her. He inwardly raged hardly secondary to the suppression because no one mentioned her in his 0f opium traffic in China. It is corn presence. Did they think him such monly agreed that absinthe is the a weakling that he couldn't, bear it . WOrst alcoliolic beverage in its toxic Twice since his return he had met her on the street. She barely recog nized him, and he lifted his hat with distant courtesy. At least she was not yet married. . , Of course the announcement of engagement and the wedding date had been in the papers while he was away. He had hoped that seeing her would somehow lessen her vital dearness to him, but it only made things worse! He had worked and worried him self and half the office forct; thin until the old man bade him remem ber that employes were men, not ma chines. Then he became consider ate of them not of himself. . It was a day in February that he had again seen Betty. This time it was in a book shop. Her eyes were bent over an open volume, and be fore she saw him he had. time to notice that her small, ungloved hands had grown fragile. There was no look of bridal hap-, piness about her. This time he was going over to speak to her, but, look ing up, she gave him such a grave little bow and immediately joined V friend who was near her. After that he knew something was wrong, and braced himself a little. This fictitious strength tided him over some bad weeks. Then spring came, at a leap, a sudden warmth, a melting, an unseasonable time whT'n old men croaked of danger to fruit trees, and morning' papers inter viewed doctors as to the effect of such warm spells on the public health. One morning Failing deliberately left the office aud set off for a walk. He walked miles. First ho avoided Betty's house, and then came back and made himself pass it. The sun was hot, and little leaves, like a green mist, were beginning to wreathe the trees. Birds twittered and carried straws, and children were bareheaded at play. So it was that he came upon her, as once before. But this time she was alone, her arm up against a great tree trunk, . her face hidden in the arm. .. He came a little nearer. She was manifestly crying. Betty crying! He could not help letting everything but his old love for her melt away like the winter's snow. He was behjnd her in an instant, taking her by the shoulders, turning her around to face him. Shp resist ed at first, but did not try to con ceal the tears in her eyes. " J "If he makes you unhappy I'll 1 shake the life out of him 1" he said, "At best Washburn could nevr- love you as 1 always nav "What do you mean, William Failing!" Her eyes were widewtt.h J utter astonishment. ''.' 1 "Aren't you engaged to 'm f ' I saw him kissing your hand-f-you don't allow things of that sort for nothing " ' Her look stopped him. Light had come to her. And the man saw her love for him. She had to push him away with both hands. "You saw that? I he made me refuse, him again. I had just told him there was somebody else. . I didn't let him take my hands he just did it That was the instant you chose to see ! If you had wait ed ! And then nover to come near me again, or send me a word I" She put her arms up over her face with the gesture of a child. :"Oh," he said, sheltering her in his arms. "If you knew what I have been through-!" . - She gave a queer little laugh. "As if I didn't know," she an swered happily. Anything in words, however crude and . commonplace, after the winter's icy silence, waa a joy to them. . It was probably silly, but the whole world about them had gone silly if it is silly to be utterly hap- py for no particular reason Bave that spring ha come. j DOOMED jt Which ' There' Has rmplalnt .!

"Uncanny skill, I might almost say. Skill which reminds me of the young lady at Coney. "A young lady met a young gentle man at Coney, and they took a bath, and a long walk on the beach, and then they Bat down side by side on the whitej clean sand. 'The spot was a lonely one, and the young man began to talk of love. He drew, nearer and nearer to the young lady! -Finally he reached out his arm- to encircle her waist.
