The Love That Kept One and
Drove the Other Away.
By OSCAR GRUENDER.
[Copyright. 1909. by Associated Uterary
.Press.j
Two brothers in love with one and
the same girl, jbree hearts tired with
the divine passion, three souls strug
gling with the agony of love and hope
and fearthis was the horrible di
lemma that fettered John and Dick
Cummings and the beautiful, bewitch
ing Edith Stearn.
For months it had been brewing
this immense struggle of hearts And
yet on the surface there was not a rip
ple. The brothers vied desperately, but
good naturedly. Their companionship
was not strained it suffered no spas
modic fits of jealousy or anger. The
most exemplary good fellowship pre
vailed, but somewhere in that good
fellowship there lurked the silent, ir
represslble ccflffnicc
And John and Dick knew it. They
felt it. Nevertheless the subject was
never broached. Each in bis own way
sought to win the laurels of love, like
wise dreading the crucial moment, for
one, only one. could win.
The climax came suddenly and un
expectedly. John had come upon them
Edith and Dickunexpectedly ID his
own elysium. a little spot in the wilder
ness of Iron Grove. He bad gone there
to dream of her When be beheld the
two the reverie left bis brain as a
rocket leaves the earth, and he sizzled
and trembled with excitement
At once be was a frenzied eaves
dropper He must hear. Surely he
had a right.
Cautiously be made his way through
the hedges he drew himself forward
on his bands and knees.
He beheld them seated far apart on
the old log Edith was plying the soft
ground with a stick. She jabbed
thoughtlessly and at random. Her
soft hazel eyes were riveted on the
ground, and her attitude was pensive.
Dick, with bis elbows on bis knees
and his chin on his hands, was a dupll-
EDITH WAS PLYING THE SOFT GBOUND
WITH A STICK
cate in pen^neuess Verily it looked
like a quarrel, aud into John's heart
there stole a bit of diabolical joy.
Dick was the nrst to break the
ominous silence.
"You say that you love me, Edith."
he said hoarsely, "and that you do not
canuot itne John Very well. But
you must tell him so too You are
now bound by your very love to ex
plain Now that we know and under
stand we must confess Deception
must cease."
"Yes. yes. 1 know." replied Edith,
digging a little more savagely. Then
impulsively she dropped the stick, sat
down beside Dick and put her arms
around bis neck. "He is your broth-
er." she said feelingly, "and, oh, bow
1 do bate to paiD him. But 1 will tell
him. only 1 want to break it gently.
I know he half expects What is that
noiseV"
"Nothing, nothing," broke in Dick
impatiently.
But that noise was something. It
was John wriggling through the
hedges He had heard enoughtoo
muchalready. Would be never get
out of that shrubbery?
Once clear of the spot be threw him
self on the grass. For a time he could
not think. Before bis eyes there
jigged and ambled a dizzy world.
But bit by bit the mental chaos eked
itself out and there remained only the
sickening realization.
This, then, was the truth. She did
not care for him after all. It was Dick
she loved, and Dick alone could make
her happy. But, then, he could do
little, too. In making her happy.
might go away and save her the pain
of telling, of breaking it to him. That
would bring a little joy anyway. Of
course she would never know, but
what did it matter? Would he not
carry In his heart the conviction that
be had done something for herthat,
after all. be bad not loved in vain?
Tea, there would be that conscious
ness. He told himself so again and
again and that he would go away.
But where?
To the Philippines. There was some
fighting there, and Uncle Sam was call
ing for volunteers. He would answer
the summons he would serve his coun
try and serve his love.
He bade adieu to Iron Grove. Hi
gaze wandered to the little spot, his
elysium, once. An ache stole into his
heart, and a lump rose in bis throat,
but be fought it bravely and turned
away.
Witbm two hours be was back in the
city and in the recruiting office. The
examination he pasd vvltb e&ste. But
his luck did not stop at that He was
told that duty began on the morrow
A few weeks in the eastern barracks
and then the Philippines!
That night be dreamed of fighting In
the tropics. And then came visfons of
the dear fatherland and of Edith. De
lirious, kneeling, bis arms outstretched,
be beckoned her to come across the
waters He called her by name he
called and called, and in bis voice there
was the wail of a broken heart
In the morning there were a few
more things to pack. With alacrity be
proceeded to jam these into the trunk.
While be was thus engaged Dick en
tered the room.
"I suppose you have already heard."
said John, tugging hard at the strap
"I've enlisted."
"Enlisted!" exclaimed Dick, bis eyes
starting from tbeir sockets.
"Yes. You see. Dick, one of us ought
to go. Besides. I'm getting tired of
banging around home. I want to go
out and see a little of the world."
**But. II thought you cared?" ven
tured Dick.
"Cared what?" snapped John, almost
angrily.
Dick said nothing, but reddened all
ver
"I never carednever!" John gave
the brazen lie with such vehemence
that something like an incubus toppled
off Dick's breast.
"But you can do me a favor, Dick.
You can bid her goodby for me. You
see. I'll hardly have time, for the
dray 'II be here presently. Ah. there
comes my man now," and he yanked
his trunk toward the door.
"And now. Dick. I must say good
by" He put his bands on Dick's
shoulders and looked into his eyes as
If be were gazing into the very soul
of b'm "I'm going far away." he con
tinued huskily, "and I know I'll feel
a bit lonely But by and by I'll get
used to it And if you'll only think of
me a littleyon and EdithIt will
make it easiermuch easier And I'll
be happy You promise? Good! God
bless von both. Therenow don't

Where Eloquence Is Wasted.
It might have been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer of
our Augustan age: that Burke, with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquence that Mackintosh, with his
almost encyclopedic learning, and that
Jekyil. who bad set a hundred dinner
tables in a roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success in
the house of commons
But. as Macaulay has pointed out
exactly the reverse was the case. Their
speeches produced no effect They
wearied and bewildered their audience
And their risiug to speak was too often
the signal for a general exodus. In
fact as was said of Burke, they acted
as a dinner bell Even Macaulay him
self, though on two occasions his
speeches changed the fate of a division,
was in no sense of the word an orator
or even a great debater His voice
was too shrill and monotonous, and he
poured out a torrent of words with
such headlong fluency as to confuse
his hearers as well as to baffle the
quickest of parliamentary reporters.
Bulwer Lytton. again, could recite an
admirable essay, but his delivery was
bad. and the seesaw gestures which
accompanied his speech were as "gro
tesque as those of an old fashioned
postboy
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly culti
vated minds than John Stuart Mill
and John Morley. but as far as
tbeir parliamentary utterances go their
names are "writ in water "Black

Revenged.
He was asking the old man for bis
daughter in marriage. He was talking
tremblingly, hesitatingly, as you read
in story books Now came the old
man's turn to speak, and as be began
his face was white with passion and
his voice shook with excitement.
"You want to marry my daughter?'
he said. "Ah! Twenty years ago your
father crippled me in a business deal,
and 1 swore to be revenged, and now
my time has come
He paused for breath, and the aspi
rant for the maiden's hand was about
to beat a hasty retreat in the face of
supposed defeat when the father broke
forth again:
"Yes. sir I swore to be revenged,
and I'll now strike the father through
the son. Want my daughter, eh?
Well, take her. and may she prove as
expensive to you as she has to me."
The old man dropped into bis chair
worn out with the excitement of his
plot, and the young man fainted.
An Object Lessen.
A certain miserly old gentleman
pulled up his horse and trap at the
door of a shop the other day and
beckoned to a seedy looking individual
who was singing in the streets.' "Here,
bold my horse a minute," be said.
The singer stopped in the middle of
a verse and took up a position at the
animal's head. When the old gentle
man came out of the shop he bestowed
a halfpenny upon the man and then
lost no time in scrambling into the
trap. The recipient, having gazed at
the coin for a moment Jumped on the
step. "Take it back, sir." he remarked
tragically. "It means ruin to you."
"What do you say, sir?" thundered
the old gentleman.
"Ah," was the solemn reply, "once I

a New York hotel man, "had a host

Why Skat Is.
Years ago in Germany the people
who played cards divided the pic
tures into three sections, the kings
queens and bauern (farmers) or what
we now term the Jacks Back as far
as 1835 a lawyer of Altenburg, who
was also a student of "taroc," a card
game of those times, conceived an
other game, which is now called skat
In the new game he placed the bau
era or bowers above the royalty and
it so pleased the farming element at
that time that skat was adopted as
the national game. It was only
chort time after the lawyer invented
the new game that the rebellion of
1849 took place and it is quite rea
sonable to suppose that the idea
making the bauern rule over the rep
resentatives of royalty appealed to
the growing sentiment of the times

The Foreign Legion is composed of
a very heterogeneous lot, who have
found Europe too hot for them, and
