MARRYING A SPORTY LOVER
"Leave thee, dearest? Love thee?
Tes! by yonder star, I swear,
, Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair." ;
Few young women of proper pride or
spirit would admit fondness for a lover
who is inclined to be all that is sporty.
A young girl might beguile herself
into the unwise belief that such a man
admires her when he does his best to
render himself , agreeable, - finding : she
is susceptible to his blaze teanner and
complimenting pretenses because she
knows little of his tendencies.
If there Is one class of men more
than another who should . be labeled
"Look Out For Him," it is ' the man
who is gay,' debonair, who attracts the
attention of fair girls and soft-hearted
young women whom he-soon discards
for the next newer fancy.. ( I
Usually, he Is the young man of live
ly spirits, -.wide awake to what is pass
ing on around him. His offhanded
way has the effect of making him ap
pear what he la not, i Many a really
different lover affects this proclivity,
though, he has ft not, because he thinks
girls admire that sort of man. He-
would appear "smart" in her estimation.-
Y ':-'-;.'- Y,Y '- . - !.,.
Men often tell their sweethearts tales
which are pure, fiction to carry out this
idea, ' For ; Instance,, he may , tell his
sweetheart that he was out with a
party of friends and opened up a dozen
bottles of champagne before the crowd
separated. Whereas, had he got right
down to truth he should have said
that he and another fellow opened up
two bottles of root beer, each paying
for. his own. Or he might lead her to
believe that he "won $50O on a .horse
race , while, in matter of fact, -he was
paid $5 not to enter as -unfit; horse in
the race. He gives out to her that he
is very much of a wrestler in his way.
How was she to" know, that the near
est he ever got to these men of muscle
was selling them a pair of ' boxing
gloves over the counter of a sporting -i
goods store? , Remarkable were i'the
pictures , he drew for her to wonder
over how he j had beaten champions
playing chess; , and .can row, fence
swim ride horseback and execute fan
cy dances in, club or parlor amuse
ments. - . -: . r - . .- ,
These anecdotes are the methods by
which he constantly keeps ifp her in
terest in btm. , The sporty -lover, never
stands back to allow any other would
be suitor to shine in a more attractive
light than that which he blazes. - As
to his clothes, it keeps the tailor whom
he patronizes frequently up and , do
ing to rig up the sporty fashion plate
in dashing inew outfits, and to create,
original effects that, will make . pass
ersby stare at him until he is out of
sight. ;- . l"' " : ';-.''
A young man of this sort, never, loses
track of : anything which will add - to
his benefit. He visits and appears at
cafes and places of invitation where
he knows that , he will be well fed.
When it's time for handshaking, as he
is about to depart, he glibly promises
to bring with him next time his pop-,
ular, money-spending friends to help
along. , Girls realize, after they marry
this man who was their ideal, that
they ought to have weighed well" the
sensibly inclinedlover, ' and the sporty
one. Many a decked-out dude has
seen his folly after marrying a wise
girl and changed his habits for the
better. He who possesses a good heart
and deeply loves his ' helpmeet can
make her happy past all doubting.

J. lay tawake for hours that 'night?
but when I finalty went to sleep and
1 heaven knows I needed it it was with
the soporific resolution to put my house
rigidly in order the very next day. The
Titus family (omitting the , countess
and Rosemary) was to be favored with
an ultimatum from which there could
be no appeal. , 5 John Bellamy Smart
had decided with Morpheus smooth-
-ing. out the - wrinkles of perplexity '
that he would be master in his own
house. . ' '.' ., i
My high resolve flattened itself but
i a "little after . the sound sleep I had,
and I make no doubt I Hhould have
. wavered sadly in my purpose had not
a crisis, arisen to shape my ' courage
for me in a rather emphatic way.
Shortly after breakfast Mrs. .Titus
, came downstairs very smartly gowned
for the street She announced ihat she
was going into- the town for an hour or
two and asked ae tb have one of the
' Bchmicks ferry her across the rives'.
There was j a ,. famous, antique shop
there-memory. of other days and she
; wanted ti browse awhile in search of
brasses and bronzes. ;: ;
I looked at her aghast.! J recognized
the crisis, but for a moment was nn-
able'to marshal, my powers of resist
ance. -Noting .my .consternation, she
calmly assured me that there wouldn't
be the least danger of detection, as she
was going to be heavily veiled and
very cautious. Y .
"My dear Mrs. Titus," I murmured
in my dismay, "it isn't to be consid
ered. I am sure you won't persist in
this when 1 tell you that Tarnowsys
agents are sure to see you and"
. 1 She laughed. , "Tarnowsy's agents!
Why should they be here?"
"They seem to be everywhere."
"1 can assure you there Is none with
in fifty ' miles of Schloss Rothhoef en.
Our men are in the city.' Four of them
preceded me. ' Thismorning I had Mr,
.Bangs telephone to the"hotel where the
chief operative is staying in the guise
of an American tourist, and he does it
very cleverly for an Englishman too
and he assures me that there is abso
lutely no danger. Even Mr. Bangs Is
satisfied."
r.', "I am forced to say that I am by no
means satisfied that it is a safe or
wise thing to do, Mrs. Titus," I said,
with more firmness than I thought I
She raised her delicate eyebrows in
a most exasperating, well bred, admoni
tory way. : . ,- )
"I am Quite sure, Mr. Smart, that
DUlingham Is a perfectly trustworthy

"But why take the slightest risky
' "It is necessary for me to see Dil
lingham, that Is the long and short of
It," she said coldly. "One can't dis
cuss things Over a telephone, yoU know
Mr. Bangs understands. And, by the
Uray, Mr. Smart, I have taken the lib
erty of calling up the central office of
the telephone company to ask if they
can run an extension wire to my dress
ing room. I hope you do not mind." .
, "Not in the least I should have
thought of it myself."
"You have so much to think of, poor
man! And now will you be, good
enough to have Hawkes order the man
to row me across the" , ' .
"I am very sorry, Mrs. Titus," said I
firmly, "but I fear I must declare my
self. I cannot permit you to go into
the town today.".
, She was thunderstruck. "Are you in
earnest?" she cried after searching my
-face rather intently for a moment.
v "Unhappily, yes. Will you let me ex
plain", - ,
. "The idea!" she exclaimed as she
drew herself to her full height and
withered me with a look of surpassing
scorn. "Am I to regard myself as a
prisoner, Mr. Smart?"
"Oh, I beg of yon, Mrs. Titus" I
began miserably. .
"Please answer my question."
Her tone cut me like the lash of a
whip. My choler rose. j
"I do not choose to regard myself as
a jailer. My only objeet in opposing
this"
"I have neverknwn anything so ab
surd." Two bright red spots appeared
in her cheeks. "Your attitude is most
extraordinary. However, I shall go to
the city this morning, Mr. Smart Pray
"give me the credit of having sense
enough to Ah, Coliagraftl"
LThe two sons ajprached from the
breakfast room, where they naa oeen
enjoying a 10 o'clock chop. Colingraf t.
noting, his mother's attire, accelerate!
his speed and was soon beside us.
"Going out, mother?" 1 he inqmre-3,

icily. : -, ,"T -'..,..

"Risk? Do you suppose, Mr. Smart,
I would jeopardise my daughter's"
: "What's up?" repeated Colingraft ia
Bistently. , i -
Mr. Smart calmly .informs me that I
am not to go into the city."
"I don't see that Mr. Smart has any
thing to say about it," said her soa
coldly. "If he" He paused, glaring.
I looked him squarely in the eye. If
he had possessed the acumen of a pol
lywog : he would have seen that my
Dutch was op. ,
"One moment, to.'. Titus," I said,
Betting my jaw. "I have this to say
about it. You are guests in my house.
We are Jointly interested in the eS!ort

consider it to be the height of impru
