MITCHEL Phoebe and I having become engag ed. 1 considered it the proper thing foi us to call on my aunt to receive hei congratulations. My aunt never made calls herself and was double the age of either of us. Besides, it was un derstood that I was down In her will for the principal part of her fortune. Phoobe said that she would rathei take a whipping than go to be inspect ed. but there was no way out of it, m! she consented. We had not long been settled be*or. my aunt said to us: "There is a vn tege of mine, Mabel Mnryweat un whom I have brought to visit me fo' the season, and I wish to see her en gaged before her return to her coun try home, wher£ she seldom sees man and consequently has no matri monial opportunities. Tom Singleton has been attentive to her, and I believe that for some time they have been on the border of an engagement. I wish ?3? **TOU FORGET THAT WE ABE JUST EN GAGED." to bring the affair to a crisis as soon as possible, for spring is not far off. When the season closes I go for my annual trip southward and must send Mabel home. 'Now, I wish you two to help me in a little scheme I have in my mind to bring Tom and Mabel together. It is for me to get the four of you here, and you, John, I wish to be attentive to Mabel, while you. Miss (I mean Phoebe), devote yourself to Tom. Each of the two incipient lovers will be frightened for fear of the loss of the other, and the match will be assured. Of course they are not to know that you two are engaged." Both Phoebe and I received this proposition with a frown. "But, Mrs. Perkins," Phoebe began, "you forget that we are just engaged, and"— "Good gracious. Aunt Caroline, do you suppose you can make a dummy lover out of a man who has recently become a real one?" 'Now, don't be silly," resumed my aunt. "It is because you are engaged that I have selected you for my pur pose. You both know that what at tention you give elsewhere is simply to please me. You understand that th whole affair, so far as you are con cerned. is the same as personating a character on the stage. The con sequence is that there will be no jeal ousy on your part you are simply to excite it in the others." 'Certainly not!" said Phoebe. "What I was going to say was that, just hav ing become engaged, why"— Seeing that it was necessary for me to help Phoebe out, I broke in. "What Phoebe means, Aunt Caroline, is that, having just become engaged, we might forget our parts and mix the thing all up." Phoebe said nothing more. My aunt looked annoyed. 1 must keep the peace. "Oh. we'll do what we can in the premises, aunt," I said. "Won't we. Phoebe?" I gave Phoebe a look as much as to say, "Leave it to me." So she said of course anything that my aunt wished would be cheerfully ac ceded to by her. Everybody being satisfied, my aunt told us that she would expect us to dinner on the following Wednesday, when we would meet Miss Maryweath er and Mr. Singleton, and the curtain was to rise on the play. On that first meeting my aunt as signed ine to take Miss Maryweather in to dinner, and Singleton was chosen to escort Phoebe. I was between two fires. If I did not appear to be attracted by Miss Maryweather I would displease my aunt. If 1 did 1 would displease Phoebe. On one of these women hung a fortune which 1 had been brought up to consider my own in time. On the other bung my life's happiness. I concluded to please my cunt. If I displeased my fiancee pop Ribiv the matter could be made up. In order to feel free to act naturally I censed to look at either my aunt or Phoebe, but gazed straight into the eyes of Miss Maryweather. I was quite in my element. The girl was pretty and attractive, and I confess that, as play actors have it, I began to feel the part. I talked a blue streak with my tongue upon ordinary topics, meanwhile saying tender things with my eyes. One trait in my character is when I set out to do a thing to do it for all it is worth. I began by at tempting to make Singleton believe he was in danger of losing his girl and ended with the best job of lovemaking in the presence of otters that 1 have ever accomplished. What was goipg on at the table I didn't know. My aunt's voice I seldom heard: Phoebe's voice I did not hoar at all. Singleton was evidently keep ing up the conversation. What I did not know then I learned afterward to my horror. Phoebe's eyes were upon me all the while, her ex pression growing every minute more lowering. My aunt observed both Phoebe and me. Singleton made fre quent efforts to hold Phoebe's atten tion and. failing, finally gave it up to make random remarks to the hostess. I held Miss Maryweather's attention so closely that she was only partially aware of the strained conditions exist ing between the other three. As the dinner proceeded Phoebe's brows con tracted more and more the corners of her mouth were squared her cheeks were red, and her eyes flashed fire. The worst of it was that I, ignorant of the situation, was piling on fuel every moment. It must have been a great relief to Mr. Singleton and possibly my aunt when the dinner was finished and we arose from the table. I cast a glance at Phoebe, but at the moment she had turned and I did not see her face. 1 saw my aunt's and noticed that it was impassive. When we reached the drawing room Phoebe and Singleton took a far corner. Phoebe sitting with her back to me. Since I had become interested in the work my aunt had assigned me I continued to pursue it for all it was worth. My aunt sug gested that I take Miss Maryweather to see the plants in the conservatory, and I did so. We remained there some time, and when we returned I saw my aunt chatting with Singleton. Phoebe was nowhere to be seen. I asked my aunt what had become of her. "She has gone home," was the. reply. •"Gone home?" "Yes. She said she had a headache and telephoned for a carriage. She told me to say to you that since you were so pleasantly occupied she would not disturb you." I knew that a bomb had burst which I had not heard. Miss Mary weather said something to Singleton, and, taking his arm, they walked away together, leaving me with my aunt, who told me what had occurred, fin ishing with the following announce ment: "And now, John, I have something to say to you. You know that I have provided for you in my will. In fact, I have left you the principal part of what I possess. I shall tomorrow add a codicil that if you marry this girl to whom you are engaged your share is to go to Peter Hickson." "Good gracious!" "I mean what I say." I was prevented from any further response by the return of Singleton and Miss Maryweather. Singleton said: "We fear that we have been the In nocent cause of a misunderstanding. Possibly it may tend to mend matters If we make an announcement which we had intended to defer till just'be fore Miss Maryweather's return home. More than a week ago I proposed to her. She has just given me a favor able reply, a response which she says she Intended to give from the first. She hopes our engagement will dis sipate any hard feeling that has arisen this, evening." "I do hope. Mrs. Perkins," said Miss Maryweather "that if anything has oc curred during the evening to displease you you will pass it over and forget it for my sake. You have been so kind to me and I have been made so happy that I can't bear to have it all spoiled at the last moment." My aunt's object having been accom plished, though her plan of its accom plishment was both unnecessary and a failure, she was much mollified. It re mained to be seen how far her change of feeling would affect Phoebe. Fur thermore it remained to be seen wheth er I would be able to effect a reconcil iation between Phoebe and myself. Before going to sleep that night 1 thought out my plan of procedure. I was still between two fires, my aunt and my fiancee. If I could not soften my aunt toward Phoebe I had better not soften Phoebe toward myself. I resolved to appear angry toward the latter till I could placate the former to ward her. Miss Maryweather proved a blessing. She knew well all that had occurred and at once learned from my aunt her scheme. She besieged the good lady and at last won her over to a promise not to disinherit me if I married Phoebe. So far so good. I followed up the advantage by telling my aunt that on no account, after what had happened, would I consent to mar ry Phoebe. This put the dear woman in a position of having by her absurd scheme torn apart a pair of lovers. She sent for Phoebe and told her my position. Instead of having to bend the knee to my fiancee she sent me an apology. And so the matter was made up be tween us. My aunt became very fond of Phoebe and when we were married gave me out of my inheritance a bouse to live in. THE COURIER-DEMO CHAT THUR8DAY, MARCH 14, 1912 PLAY FOR TITLE OF TENNIS WORLD Steps to Institute New Compe tition For Championship. TO HOLO CONFERENCE IN PARIS England, America, Austria, Germany and Belgium to Send Delegates tj France Next July—Competition In Countries Close Is Desired. Even before the result of the matches for the Davis cup. held at Christ church, New Zealand, was known steps to institute an entirely new com petition for the lawn tennis champion ship of the world had been taken. A formal invitation has been sent to the various lawn tennis governing bodies by the president of the French society, which rules lawn tennis, asking them to send representatives to a conference which is to be held in Paris in July. The purpose of this conference is to decide whether it is desirable to in stitute a lawn tennis championship of the world, and, if the answer is in the affirmative, to formulate rules to govern the competition and to select a time and place for holding the first meeting. It is almost a certainty that Great Britain, Germany, Austria and Belgium will send delegates to the conference, while France will, of course, have its representatives there. For a number of years there has been talk of a world's championship lawn tennis meeting. It is felt that the Davis cup competition, while in a measure serving the purpose, has never done so fully owing to its being a contest between nations Instead of one between individuals. This feeling has gained in strength with each year the Davis cup has been held in Aus tralia. It is pointed out that since 1907 there has been no real competi tion among the "champion nations," to employ the phraseology of the Davis cop regulations, inasmuch as America is the only country that has sent a team to the antipodes, owing to the great distance and the amount of time required to make the trip. It is re called that so long as the cup was held in England all the other nations sent teams to battle for it The same condition of affairs would prevail if America were the holding country. It is said that the European nations were only waiting for the cup to be brought back to America to chal lenge for it almost in a body. Had the New Zealand contest resulted different ly the greatest lawn tennis competition in the world's history would have bean held here this year. Great Britain, France and Germany were ready to send teams, and Australia would al most certainly have challenged, with Brookes to captain her team, in the endeavor to regain what she has come to look upon as her own. There never has been a world's lawn tennis championship instituted, and many people are disposed to conclude that it is not feasible to hold one. The principal tennis playing nations are lo cated so near each other, with the ex ception of Australia, that no insupera ble difficulties exist, however. If Euro pean players were ready to cross the ocean in pursuit of the Davis cup they would be even more ready to do so if the prize were a real world's cham pionship. As for American players, there are probably half a dozen who would view with favor the plan of making a bid for titular honors. Many Americans have contested for English championship honors at Wimbledon in the past, and several of the topnotch ers of today have been quietly turning over the project of having a try next year for the English title. HENRY MAY NOT COMPF.TE. Studies Interfere With Great Sprinter Entering Olympic Tryouts. Gwynne Henry, the national cham pion sprinter, says in a letter to the Olympic committee headquarters in New York that he will be unable to compete in the Olympic tryouts next spring. The champion is attending college in Blackwell, Okla., and will not be able to start east until June 5. Henry is much perturbed over the outlook. lie is anxious to make the trip to Stockholm and says that he is in good condition. He is confident of his ability to beat Ralph Craig, the in tercollegiate champion of the Univer sity of Michigan, in both dashes. Olympic Tryouts. The tryouts of Amateur Athletic union athletes which will result in the final selection of the American Olym pic games team to go to Stockholm this summer will be held late in May or early in June in the east at the Har vard university stadium, Cambridge, in the west at the University of Chi cago's Marshall field and on the Pa cific coast in Golden Gate park, San Francisco. Why Young Pitchers Make Mistakes. King Cole, Cub twirler, says one mis take which most young fellows make is that they put a bushel of "stuff" on the ball when they get in a tight place. Opposing batters naturally look for this and slug it a mile or more. Swimming Compulsgry at Purdue. Students of Purdue university will not be allowed to graduate now unless they learn to swim. Aquatic courses will be compulsory. In Old Stagecoach Days. There used to be rate wars in the old stagecoach days in England. At one time early last century one stage coach company not only cut the price from Lewes to London to a very low rate, but gave also other inducements. As the coach started from Lewes at a somewhat uncomfortably early hour in the morning, by way of tiding over the difficulty the proprietors allowed the more slothful of their passengers to go overnight to Brighton, where they were accommodated with good beds free of expense and could proceed comfortably to Ixnidon by the com pany's morning coach.—London Tele graph.
