VI Sam Jack Musick, Mgr. | (Angela's ^ Indecision < By ETHEL HOLMES (Cop> rl*ht, 1817. Wwhll Newapapar Ualoa.) Evan Cart right was an unsuccessful wooer of Angela Drew. Bnt Angela j Instead of turning Evan down In such a way as to take away all hope, dealt f with him gently. She was very sorry for him; hoped he would find one who would be more worthy of him than herself, and above all, that they might still be friends. Evan drew a deep sigh within his manly chest?he was a big fellow? and accepted the situation. He had not thought of entering the great world war, but now that he had been refused by the girl he loved, he decided to do so. He was about finishing his college course, and as the greater part of his class were volnnteerlng. he enlisted and the government commenced the work of making a soldier of him. Angela wrote him, commending his patriotism, and predicted that he would be one of his country's honored servants. How Evan was to become one of his | country's honored servants, permitting I his comrades to move onward, while ' he lagged behind, only kept up to his ! work by incessant urging, did not appear. He wrote in reply that he hoped | he would have the grit to be among the first to go "over the top," and ! among the last to give up any gain I that might have been made by himself | and his comrades. b| Angela wrote in reply to this that she didn't mean that she advocated his being a laggard, but in trying to ex- i plain what she did mean let out the main part of what she felt, which was < that she was very much afraid that l Evan would get hurt. A lover is not i | prone to see a weakening on the part 1 of the girl who has refused him, but 1 all this seemed to Evan to denote an < Interest in him on the part of his fair 1 correspondent. He was emboldened I to offer himself again, doing so by let- i ! ter, for he was now in the service of the government, which was preparing I troops as rapidly as possible to send [ abroad, and would not stop while the , j men they were training endeavored to j i capture ladies' hearts. ( Angela wrote back that an engagei ment between a girl and a man who was going to a war that might last j many years seemed to her very un- ( i wise, especially this war, which was ! strewing Europe with dead. Howi ever, she would think about It. Angela thought about it for several | months without arriving at a decision. Finally Evan wrote her that the force to which he belonged had been ordered 1 to the Atlantic coast, which meant j that it would probably be prepared to 1 | send abroad. t When a woman Is called upon to de- * ; clde such questions upon which she { has grave doubts, she is apt to give ' some queer reasons for what she does. I Angela demurred, for the reason that ' she had always expected when she married to have a very large and im- fl : posing wedding. Her mother was 111, h | and this would now be impossible. If tl | Evan did not sail for France till after ( ; her mother got well, she would make a final decision. A month passed, and Evan's regiment did not leave the United States. Angela's mother got well. There seemi ed to be no reason why Angela should not marry Evan if he could get leave for the purpose. She i decided that she would do so, and wrote hiin to that effect. He applied ! for o furlough and was refused. i This put a stopper on a large and | imposing wedding. Indeed, there could ; be no wedding at all, unless the bride ; should go to the groom. Angela took ; the matter under consideration? Evan admonished her that he was liable to sail at an hour's notice, and that she had better make up her mind at once. She did make up her mind, and wrote him that she would go to him "the day 1 after tomorrow." On the evening of the day of her ' decision Angela received a telegram that her fiance would sail the next ; morning. The Journey before her could not be' mude in less than 35 hours. Evan was called up by telephone and an Interview between him and Angela followed. Evan saw no ; way for them to be married until he i returned from the war. Angela, who i had been balking for many months, I was now in great distress that she could not be wedded. A family council was called, at ; which her father suggested a marriage j by telephone. A lawyer was called I i in, who pronounced such a marriage j 1 legal. Evan was called ud again: the I > ; plan was proposed to him, and he ) consented. > I A clergyman was called In to the > I I>rew residence; Angela stood by the ! receiver which she held so that both I could hear the respouses. Evan called a comrade to act as best man, and ; the clergyman read a service. A ring was put on Angola's finger by her brother, for the groom, and the final I "man and wife" was pronounced. The next morning Evan sailed for i France and Angela was left behind to inourn her indecision, and to regret that It had kept her from bidding her I husband good-by. Indeed, hud she made a definite decision either way, it would doubtless have been better for her. Had she declined him absolutely at first, neither would have been thinking of the other very long. Had she accepted him when he proposed, they might have been much together before he embarked for France. t i i M.LIBD FOOD SHIPMENTS REACH LARGE TOTAU general idea of tbe quantity mi bod sent to European allies by the halted States from July 1, 1014, to laaoary 1. 1018, Is (riven by figures lust announced by the U.
