SANDRA THE JEALOUS
a new serial story by
JANE PHELPS.
Author of “The Promoter’s Wife,” and Other Stories.
(Copyright by George Mathew Adams.)
SANDRA MEETS EVERETT
GRAHAM.
CHAPTER 1.
IHAD always thought it a terrible
thing for a girl not to be the first
in a man’s affections. To be a sec
ond wife seemed like having a warm
| ed over dinner, only it was affection
instead of dinner that was warmed
over and served in a tempting form,
—so tempting often that the camou
flage wasn’t even noticed.
I was only eighteen when Everett
Graham asked me to marry him.
Eighteen—with all that it, in a small
town girl, implies of ignorance, of
innocence, and of lack of adaptabil
ity.
Everett was just forty-one. He
had been a widower two years.
That age and youth—even age as
typified by forty-one—were intoler.
ant of each other I had no slightest
idea. It was one of the many things
I was to learn by experience; that
crabbed teacher, who everlastingly
insists that they will not mix no mat
ter how we try to amalgamate them.
Everett seemed crazy about me the
very first time we met. At least I
thought so. It was at a lawn tennis
He was in our town on busi-
and had been invited to the
party because he was friendly with
Lulu Carroll’s father. It was Lulu’s
party.
I recall perfectly how 7 I was dress
ed that afternoon. A simple tennis
costume of white skirt and shirt
waist, white sport shoes, and a soft
white felt hat. Everything girlish
ly simple and inexpensive. Surely
nothing to attract a man so exqui
site in his taste so critical of fem
nine attire as was Everett Graham,
a New York broker. Yet his eyes
scarcely left my face after Mi's. Car
roll introduced us.
He had a branch office in Lake
ville—the town where I lived—and
he remained nearly a week. In that
time he constantly seemed to seek
me; and as constantly found me will
ing to spend my time with him. He
was nearly as old as father, and
such a thing as marriage did not
enter my mind. I was simply flat
tered that he singled me out for his
attentions because he was handsome,
had exquisite manners, and so much
money.
W sent me flowers and books
When he found that I was an omni
vorous reader, he ordered me sever
al of the latest books from a larger
town near by. Then he never ap
peared where I was without a box
of bonbons, telling me laughingly:
“All young girls like candy.” Or
declaring, “You are so sweet I have
no fear of making you sweeter; that
is impossible.”
Is it any wonder that I was at
tracted to him? I never had been
accustomed to such attentions. The
blundering village boys were bash
ful, and even when they tried to be
nice were sure to be clumsy. While
Everett was so graceful in all that
he did.
I felt lonely when he left, but he
continued to send me books, and
candy occasionally. Often accompan
ied by a short note. Just a few
words that anyone might read, but
enough to keep up my interest m
him.
Everett was a widower. So any
or woman who married him
naturally get a warmed over
affection which I then thought must
be terrible unsatisfying.
In a few weeks Everett came to
Lakeville again. He only remained
a few days, but again he sought me.
And again I was flattered that he
should single me, a young girl, out
for his attentions.
Long afterward I learned that fa
ther had been rather pleased that
Everett seemed to like me, and that
in a mild way he had encouraged
him. Not that he ever said anything
much to him; but he let him see
that he was welcome when he came
to the house. I knew nothing of it,
but father had some sort of heart
trouble. He also had made some un
fortunate investments, so that he
would not have very much to leave
if it were divided between mother,

the two boys and me. He was anx
ious about me because I was a girl.
I suppose he figured the boys could
shift for themselves netter than I
could.
My mother was a quiet little home
body who rather disliked the idea of
a widower 4 calling, and giving me
things. But I laughed away her
fears when she talked of Everett,
and declared nothing would make
me be a man’s second wife.
I wonder why we so often do the
things we declare we will not.

Friends.
