THE I N C 0 L N I A N HAROLD’S LOVE AFFAIR. Mamie Lewis, T4. Theresa and Evelyn had been considered the beauties of their class. Theresa was a blond with blue eyes and golden hair, while Evelyn had raven locks and black eyes. It had been four years since they had graduated from school. In that time circumstances for the two girls had changed. Theresa had be- come the leading society girl, but Evelyn, having been left an orphan, worked in a store. It was the eve of the return of Harold White, who had alternated his affections be- tween the girls in school days. Everyone in the little village was wondering whether Theresa or Evelyn would be fortunate enough to win him. The evening of his arrival a welcome home dinner was given for Harold by Mrs. Coles. Theresa looked her very best as she smiled her greetings to the guests. All through it was a delightful affair and Harold was highly entertained. But remem- bering the spirit of comradship which had existed between Theresa and Evelyn, he won- dered where Evelyn was and why she was not with Theresa that evening. After the dinner Harold went home thoughtfully. Still wondering, he asked his mother when they were seated upon the front porch watching the clouds in the sum- mer sky. “Mother, dear, I didn’t see .Evelyn Walton at the dinner. How was that?” “Why Harold White,” she exclaimed. “Surely you don’t expect the best of society to invite paupers, to meet what they expected to be their foremost man?” “If you call Evelyn a pauper because she works for her living, I must say I did expect her. “Haloid, I hope you are not going to renew that old friendship. There is Theresa, who is the leading young girl of society.” “To be sure, I will renew my love, not to say friendship, with Evelyn. I always loved her, and love her yet; as for Theresa, I liked her as a friend only.” “And this is the way you are to bring shame upon the head of your mother, by lov- ing a common working girl, simply because you think your former love is binding.” “I am sorry, indeed, mother, if I bring shame, but I must find Evelyn.” And with these words he left his mother. Mrs. White, having been left alone, brooded upon the shame which would surely be brought to her by her son’s contemplated action. Then she thought of a plan, know- ing that Evelyn was not in town then, to bring Harold and Theresa together and en- kindle the former friendship, which she be- lieved to be love. Her plan was to have an outing party to Glendale, a place about fif- teen miles: from Ruthford. When Harold left his mother he went di- rectly to Miss Brown and inquired for Eve- lyn. She told him that she had been called away on account of the death of a distant uncle. So, not finding her, be returned home, to be fronted the first thing with the plans of the outing party. And what depressed him more, Theresa was entrusted to him. Not that he disliked Theresa, but he doubted him- self and feared that he might be bewitched by this wondrous beauty. He was deter- mined to be strong, and he never doubted the promise Evelyn had made to him in then- school days. He realized that, though Theresa had thousands in wealth and was surrounded by luxury, and his mother favored her for his wife, he knew that Evelyn most needed him and he needed her. Three days had passed and it was Thurs- day evening when Evelyn returned. Only that morning had the outing party started on its trip to Glendale. When Evelyn reached 1
