i WOOING OF THE MAJOR!
Z By C. E. BARKER. Z
He was one of the kind of people
who come naturally by a nickname.
The major was one of the moat
methodical of men. Promptly at nine
o'clock he came down fresh and pink
from breakfast, read his mall in the
comfortable seclusion of the writing
room, dictated the answers to his letters
to the hotel stenographer, lit a
fresh cigar at the cigar stand, and
then dull business cares were brushed
, . . ? ^ . L.l
asiae ana ne repaired wun epngnuy
steps to the bar.
One day in the midst of the letters,
Miss Mitchell looked up for an instant
at a lady who was passing through
the lobby.
"What an exquisite bunch of violets,"
she said.
"Very pretty," replied the major,
following her glance, and then they
went on with their work.
The next morning a neighboring
floriet's boy placed a fine bunch of
English beauties In the little bud vase
on Miss Mitchell's desk, and morning
after morning this was repeated.
After the morning dictation during
one of the little chats which the major
had come to allow himself, Misa
Mitchell, one day expressed a very adverse
opinion about the men who
drank and were "fast"
This speech had a marked effect
11 nnn fHo
Uyvu VUQ UiUJUi I
The very next day, after his baslness
routine, the major left a forwarding
address with the clerk on duty and
registered out. , J
A month?two months passed, and
still the major had not returned to his
old corner in the Windeor bar. The
only mark of his long residence at the
hotel was the little bunch of fresh violets
which daily adorned Miss Mitchell's
desk.
One day, as unheralded as had been
his departure, the major returned to
the Windsor. His complexion was
whiter and hie eyes were clearer, otherwise
he was the same old major,
careless, lively and jovial.
He dictated his letters to Misa
Mitchell as usual the next morning,
but it was observed and marked with
much special notice that he did not
follow his old habit of turning toward
the bar immediately thereafter. Instead
nf this, he stenned into a big
automobile that stood at the door, and
was away In a trice.
At feast once he asked Miss Mitchell
to ride with him, hut she met the proposal
with a cheerful "no, thank 700,"
that left no room for doubt about her
decision.
A morning came on which he attended
to bis correspondence with
more than usual care. In addition to
the regular grind of business he wrote .4
some long delayed missives to old college
friends?dashing, brilliant, unconventional
letters they were, full of the
boyish spirit which the major etill
held, notwithstanding his acknowledged
thirty-eight years. When he had
quite finished, he drew from hie
pocket an important looking paper.
"Miss Mitchell, I have a very particular
matter I wish to speak about
?No, you needn't take my words
down on paper?I'm not dictating. The
fact is?I am?thinking of?well, giving
you the chance of dictating some
to me, if you think proper."
?- * - - ? ?? ?f- i?k.
" \V ny?wnai ao you useau, mr. iiur
bourne," she asked, her large, heavy
lashed eyes looking the utmost wonder.
"It's a very simple matter. Miss
Mitchell?at least I used to think It
was when I observed the symptoms In
other folks. But?don't look at. me
like that?you might pretend you are
taking notes; some one will see and
wonder what we are talking about?"
"Oh, if it's anything?improper, you
mustn't say It, Mr. Ebsbourne." 8he
was plainly agitated.
"Not the very least Improper, little
one, but the most natural thing that
ever occurred to me in all my wild,
harum-scarum life. Now, listen calmly;
If what I say Is not pleasing you, I will
stop, and we will not talk about It any
more. I love you. 1 can't help loving
you, any more than I could help breathing
or living if I didn't breathe."
"Why?Mr. Ebsbourne," she replied,
"I don't think I care for you In any
way like that."
"I didn't expect you to, little one.
But you can give ihe a little hope,
can't you? You don't dislike me, do
you?"
"I think you are very kind."
"That's enough?that's enough?
Don't need to say another word. Ill
go now and let you get used to the
idea of having a lover."
"Thank you," was all Miss Mitchell
could think of to say.
TViQ cnrniol ma nnno nf the mnlnr's
planning. He only knew that he was
speeding down the river road one
afternoon, when a young horse driven
by a market gardener took fright and
plunged about, backing the heavy
wagon directly across his way at the
moment when he supposed the driver
was going to be able to manage his
team without further difficulty.
There was a crash and the major
felt a sharp twinge of pain. When he
again opened his eyes, they were
carrying him in at the ladies' entrance
of the Windsor.
At last there came a day when the
doctor told the major he might see his
friends. The major said something in
the strictest confidence to his nurse,
and after a very long time Miss
Mitchell came up accompanied by a
sweet-faced, motherly little woman in
black, whom the major knew by instinct
must be Miss Mitchell's mother.
"Mr. Eksbourne," said Miss Mitchell,
timidly, "I didn't know I cared in that
way, but 1 do."
