I KERNEL AND THE HUSK | w A By HERMAN AYER. $ In all her lonesome life Margaret never had had a lover. Even In the social doings of the youngsters of the village she had sat aside/ and never had blushed and giggled with Tom or Jimmie or Will, nor shared their bags iof peanuts or all-day suckers. When they played postoffice nobody ever called her out into the dark hall to be kissed, and none of the boys ever dropped a pillow in front of her. It was not that Margaret was not pretty, Ifor she was, with a sort of serious, delicate beauty. Nor was it that she did not want to be admired and court ed, for she did more ardently than any of the girls. It was because of a sort of inherent dignity, an involuntary reserve which She really did not feel in her heart, hut which she could not help express ing in her physical contact with oth ers. And so she went through her girlhood—lonesome and wistful for the pleasures the other girls had, but somehow set apart by nature. All this before Philip Breasted came to town in search of a few weeks’ rest from the war in the great world of which he was a part. He was a thor ough man of the world, a connoisseur, a literateur, an artist. The first time he heard Margaret Burson touch the piano—she always played at every entertainment or so cial gathering—he sought an Intro duction and became a most devoted knight. The townsfolk looked on wide-eyed. To be sure, they were aware that Margaret could “play on the piano like a thoroughbred,” but they did not appreciate, as did this experienced stranger, that she had the divine spark of genius. “Who is she?” he asked, eagerly. “Who? Oh, Margaret, she’s the granddaughter of Bill Burson,” was the reply. "Mother was Martha Bur eon. Mother ran away from home with some musician fellow —forget his name. Old man Burson raised the lit tle ghl and always called her Mar garet Burson.” It was the mark of genius Philip Breasted detected in Margaret’s divine touch on the piano which attracted him to her. No sooner had he made her acquaintance, however, than he was struck with the remarkable nature of the girl—her beauty, her shrinking sensibilities, her deep, ardent nature. From being merely interested, he became enraptured and began to woo her assiduously, and with all the se ductive grace of the experienced man of the world. Immediately a new world opened to the girl. All the pent-up emotion and Imagination repressed so long flamed forth and flowered. She responded to the admiration and love offered her with all the intensity of her passionate nature. Breasted really loved the girl, too, but he had no idea of marrying a sim ple country maiden and setting up a dove-cote in the city, which he knew well ■would presently bore him. No, no, he had other and wiser plans. He .would develop the great musical tal ent in the girl and would push her for ward until she came into her own— until she became famous and experi enced. Then he would marry her and they would set up an establishment which would be sought by the clever and the great. When he took Margaret in his arms and outlined his plans she broke into a storm of passionate sobs. “I don’t want to be rich or famous— or—or —anything,” she said. "I only want to be happy and to love you.” It touched him to the heart, but he had had much experience with men and women and his dear brain ever ruled his actions. So he went on with gentle insistence until he gained his point “I will do it because you want me to, Philip,” she sobbed. "I am afraid, oh, so much afraid that it is not the ■way to happiness, but I love you, I love you and I will do whatever you •ay.” The years rped on and the simple country girl slowly mounted the thorny path of art. —***s*- Finally came the great day when she made her debut as a star pianist —and startled the musical world with her performance. When Breasted came to her with shining eyes to congratu late her she gave him a cold hand and a little tired smile. “I am glad you are pleased,” she •aid. - -- Triumph after triumph was hers after this until her name was in every mouth and all honors and riches were heaped upon her. Then Philip Breasted came to claim his own. “Now, Margaret,” he said, “we can have the happiness we have •waited so it will be the sweeter for the waiting and because we know it will last. When shall it be?” “Dear Philip,” she replied, calmly. “It cannot be. I do not know how it is, but my nature has not run for two gods. Heaven knows how dearly I wanted it to be Love, but you drove me to espouse Art And Art is king. Love has gone, forever.” Philip Breasted looked into the clear eyes before him and reading the truth dropped his head upon his breast He knew then that he had sacrificed the kernel for the husk.
