WHEN. A MAN MARRIES
This One Fancied Himself in Love
With His Fiancee's Avowed
Rival. . '
By GEORGE MUfceofJ.
Til walk home wltliyou Dick'-' Jald
Frank Fayles to hit' friend Richard
Talbot and started ' away with hira
from Mlse Landia' door. At tbe cor-
ner of tho block he stopped and wruLg
ba friend's hand violently.
"I congratulate you old man" he
said warmly. "I think your fiancee la
one of the finest girls I've ever met
end Just suited to you' too."
"It's odd Dick" be continued "but answered
I never gave you credit for being abla
to pick a winner like that. I don't be
lieve any of your frlenda did either.
I suppose your being an artist makes
tis think you must be erratic and mis-
erably married and all that. Hut you've '
done splendidly my boy and I bet !
your married life will be ona long
dream of paradise."
Talbot did not reply and his friend
mortified by his coldness accom
panied mm jn stience. laiDot was
thinTiing bitterl of his folly his ab-
solute folly. It was too late to with
draw with honor now.- The wedding
was only one month away. And dur-
ing the past two weeks he had come to
realize that ha had made the mlntake
of his life.
lie had thought Elule Landis all that
could be desired in any woman until
until he had mot Edith Spinner. A
friend had introduced them and then
Talbot knew that deeply as he had
been in love during his thirty-odd
years of life he had never surrender-
ed so completely to the divine passion
before. Honor forbadu him to speak;
but the pressure of their hands when
they met must have betrayed them to
each other. TUcy had met three times
only and he was head over heels In
love with Edith.
He thought over his futuro that
He
hopeless that that only added to the
feeling between us. And I was frantic
I felt that e ought not to be married
until you knewand I didn't dare to
tell' you until today."
"Why today?" Inquired Richard
kindly.
"Because he Is married now" sob-
bed Elsie. "He got married yesterday.
And he had been engaged to her for a
whole year Just think of that! He
had Just been flirting with me and I
fooling me. And then a sudden revul-
sion came over me and I knew that It
was you I had loved all the time.
Richard can you ever forgive me or
shall I give you back your ring?"
She rose to her feet and stood be-
fore him a picture of tragic misery
and despair.
"Who was the man?" inquired Rich-
ard conscious of an odd sense of help-
less Jealousy.
'Nobody you know Richard" she
'So it wouldn't do you any
iff pM
tt
good to tell you his name. Hut I'll
tell you whom he married. I believe
you met her once. It was a Miss Spin-
ner." "Edith Spinner" he shouted and
out of the tumult of emotions in bis
heart he was conscious of a mad rage
that dominated all others.
"Yes Richard. She is said to be a
dreadful flirt and to have had affairs
with halt a dozen men at the same
time. 1 don't believe there will be
much bappinees for them. Why what
is the matter?"
"Come here Elsie" said Richard
and led her to the lounge. "Elsie
dearest I have been as big a fool as
I mean we have both behaved like
ninnies. Do you know I have been
fancying myself in love with Edith?"
"You Richard? Since we were en
gaged! Why how dared you?"
"HOw dared you?" he retorted.
"I didn't!" she cried. "It was purely
Imagination. I Just feared that we
mightn't be quite suited to each other
and " 1 -
"That's what I did."
"You never kissed her Dick?"
"Never!" he said looking her In the
eyes and then suddenly he drew her
upon his knee and kissed her.
"You see dearest" he said "it
amounts to this: I guess when two
people are going to get married they
expect all sorts of things c each
Other and then when they don't quite
measure up to the mark each thinks
the marriage is going to be unhappy.
Well I guess that isn't the proper
basis for marriage. There must be a
sort of mutual trust and confidence
and what I'll call faith. Elsie dar-
ling shall we start over again in that
spirit?"
"Yes Richard" she answered rais-
ing her lips to his. "Hut you're quite
sure that you never kissed her Dick?"

"Do You Know You Have Been Acting
In a Very Odd Manner Lately 7"
could not tell Elsie the cause of his
coldness. Hut he could and must in
honor tell her of his miserable doubtd
for their future happiness. How
could he ever have thought himself
In love with Elsie when Edith Spin-
ner was the very complementary por-
tion of his soul?
Ho rose up after a sloepless night
resolved to give Elsie the chance to
reconsider. One thought buoyed him
up; loving as she was he had felt that
of late ver since he had known
Edith In fact her affection had been
less demonstrative. What if Ehe also
bad come to believe that happiness
would not bleas their union? The day
dragged with feet of lead. It was not
until eight o'clock that evening that
he found himself In Elsie's presence.
Their greeting was commonplace
enough: The handshako the kiss and
even that seemed perfunctory. Talbot
sat down.
"Richard" said his fiancee looking
at him curiously "do you know you
have been acting in a very odd man-
ner lately?"
"I? How is that?" he stammered.
"You haven't seemed to love me
much as you used to" she stammered.
"I have been thinking O Richard
don't you care for me?"
A moment later and she was on her
knees at his side her arms around
him weeping.
"Elsie!" exclaimed Richard mis-
erably "I I love you "
"You won't love me when I have
told you something" she sobbed.'
"Tel! me and see" said he. He
could think of nothing better to say.
"I have been untrue to you" she
sobbed. "I don't mean that Ive
kissed anybody else. No" but O
Richard you are so simple and noble
you would never understand. Well I
I had been wondering whether our
marriage was going to be happy. It
had begun to seem so ordinary our
love. And theu I met a man Just two
weeks ago. Ha fascinated me and
and I loved him more than you dear-
est." Richard sat up very straight. This
'was a turning of the tables with a ven-
geance. "We never told each other" she
went on. weeping bitterly. "Hut he
QUAINT OLD GERMAN CITIES
Empire of Peoples That Are as Di-
verse as Are Territories
They Occupy.
Germany is a big country. More-
over -It Is the most interesting coun
try in Europe save Italy. Towns can
be found there that are as Henry
James would call them "mediaeval sil-
houettes;" and there also are the
most ultra modern cities in the world
cities that are more representative of
the best of the twentieth century's
thought on municipal life and munici-
pal problems than is any American
municipality says the Travel Maga-
zine. It Is an empire of peoples as
diverse as are the territories they oc-
cupy; the brusque and domineering
Prussians living in the vast plain of
northern Germany; tbe ancient Sal-
ons still clinging to former supersti-
toins and still living In the beautiful
environment of their exquisite old-
time towns and in the atmosphere of
Iepend acd romance that lingers yet
around the regions of the Han; the
gay Wurtemburgers with their bril-
liant capital of Stuttgart; and best of
all beautiful enchanted Ravaria land
of medieval cities of mountains of
castles of lakes of the kindly fine-
faced men and women who llTe there.
Let me outline a charming trip from
Cologne to Hegensburg.
From Cologne to Mayence which
constitutes the tourist's Rhine Is 117
miles and the trip can be made in a
day on steamers that are comfortable.
The narrow stream Beldom more than
a quarter of a mile In width and more
frequently much less is crowded with
boats of every description; on the
banks are large cities of modern look
and villages that still preserve in wall
and tower the appearance of a dis-
tant past; terraced vineyards lead
from the water's edge up steep hill-
sides to ruine'l castles on the sum-
mits; and over all is an atmosphere of
legend and of wild and thrilling his-
toric fact that makes of the rhine
untry one of the great objective
puluts in every European tour. Guer-
ver's "Legends of the Rhine" should
be read by the traveler who would get
the spirit of what he sees; and some
knowledge of the history of the varied
peoples now united in impcr.'al Ger-
many and of their varying stages of
civilization is also essential to a full
enjoymdent of the land.
