JERRY'S MISTAKE 1 ? 1 v ??? ???' ? ?*? By VICTOR REPCllfFK <0?Wfl?U ??!#., W..i.ru ftrry Uutou eau>* back to the uiod ??t little hamlet of Ko*svlll? *ti?r a week'a mnv Id the city quite the llou ?f the hour among his juvenile ac fitalntancee, until the flrat glmuour of his embellished uarratlvt? of wonders aeeu and participated In had somewhat worn away.; Hla relatives, the Mor tona, had M him a good time In deed, The$ had a flue home, ample means, and Myrtle, a daughter, who, pleasant and sympathetic had put her ?elf out to aee that Jprry was engaged in a constant 'round of metropolitan' alfht seeing, Kittle did the artlea^, well. meaning lad realise that he had unconsciously rewarded all the kindness and Indul gence of hi* pretty couslu with a cure less act that brought the darkest cloud of her life to her. She was partlm larly happy one memorable morning, for she had received a written Invita tion from Gerald Steele to afford him the pleasure and hduor of her com pany to sn entertainment the following wee Jr. Myrtle's beautiful eye* had beamed as she scanned the little note. He was her Ideal of a gentleman, young, handsome, Intelligent, and the dell cacy of his attentions charmed her quite. Forthwith Myrtle Indited a reply and sturted down the stairs for her room Intent upon throwing on a light wrap and mailing it. Fate al tered her Intentions, however, as she noticed Jerry In the front hall, pack ing Into their bo* a pair of roller akntes with which she had presented him that morning, "Would you mind posting my letter for me, Jerry?" she nuked. "Oh, sure! Cousin Myrtle," replied < Jerry with alacrity. "I'd ft<? Just any thing for you. Where Is the post of fice?" , * "Oh, you don't have to go there,'- ex plained Myrtle. "You know there Is a( letter box at the corner?" "Is there?" queried Jerry. Jerry set forth at once and Itfyrtle tripped up to her room again, hum ming a happy air, hi love with all the world, and tenderly wondering If the sender of the Invitation would be I a?? pleased as - she Was to reply to it. I Jerry left for his native village at noon. Myrtle wandered about restless ly counting the hours, because she felt sure that Gerald Steele would call Friday evening, his usual occasion fof coining around to spend the evening. "Let me see," Myrtle whispered to I herself, "he will receive the note ' to j morrow morning. Then there's only that .day, and the next I shall see him. And he has selected an opera I once told him was my favorite. So he must think over and remember what I | say, and I' suppose thinks of me,- too, once In a while." Myrtle flitted away, flushing raptur ' ously as a fugitive from the telltale ! thought, and laughed outright at the j trivial -deception she was playing on herself. Gerald Steele did not put in an ap pearance Friday evening and thence until the following Tuesday was a pe riod of glooin and unhappiness for Myrtle. The evening of the engage* ment arrived, and while Myrtle did not allude to it before her parents, she hqd everything In her room ready fox quick dressing when Gerald should ar rive. At seven o'clock she was In a fever of suspense. At eight her last hope faded away< By nine she was In bed, her face turned to the wall and crying as If her heart would break. > Then a dreary two weeks, during which time not a word was received from "the recreant lover!" Myrtle felt all the sorrowfulness of neglect and desertion. She could only con sider that Gerald had1 no further de sire for her company. Once In a .while the pride and disdain -of her na ture came to the surface, and briefly she would resent the direct affront she had suffered, but her sensitive, ten der heart would melt Into n sense of forlornness as she realized how miich Gerald Steele bad been to her. For a single hour, amid a sudden ex citement and turmoil, Myrtle forgot her sorrows. An adjoining house ' caught Are and the Morton house was I very nearly included In the blaze. As j It was, sinoke and water somewhat damaged the latter residence, and j Myrtle was directing the servants in removing the traces of the occasion, when she stepped out upon the porch to fasten up a favorites-flowering vine that the firemen had. torn- down. She had never looked more charm ing than at that moment, her golden hair peeping out from the mob Cap, her dress daintily pinned up, her fuce [ flushed with the animation of the mo i ment. j "Miss Morton," spoke an altogether ' unexpected voice, and there stood CJer | aid Steele, smiling, a certain eager ex : pectancy in hi* fare. The bewildered ; Myrtle could not understand. "Just reeelved It," he eontlnued, and , he extended the envelope. "It was found In the Are alarm box, and they guessed that some Inexperienced hand I had placed It there instead of In the ' mail box. Kven,nt h ' s late date It i mu?t expbiin our mutual silence." i "Jerry!" uttered Myrtle, nnd wa I vered so that (Jerald felt It necessary : to supj?ort her for the moment. Quite as famlliit.-ly Myrtle naid "Gerald" ".he third cali after that of her ^ef^hted lover, for the explana tion brought relief and reunion and lore fuJJy developed.
