The Mystery
of an Old, Old
Love Affair
By HAROLD CARTER
(©. 1924. Western Newspaper Union.)
MISS AMANDA listened stonily to
her niece Mary’s confession of
her engagement to the man she had
met on her vacation at Bellmuir. Sym
pathetically, too, for the two old maid
en ladles, Miss Amanda and Miss
Dorothy, were devoted to pretty Mary
the child of their only brother, whom
they had adopted when he lay dying.
But when Mary mentioned the name
of Ralph Lester an ominous look came
over Miss Amanda’s face.
“And he says his father knew you
when you were a girl. Aunt Amanda,”
pursued Mary, with all the innocent
confidence of twenty years.
Ralph Lester, in the city, received
a despairing little note from his fian
cee the following day which he could
neither understand nor fathom.
The two old ladies realized Mary’s
sorrow and did their best to cheer
her.
From timid Miss Dorothy the girl
learned the cause of Miss Amanda’s
hostility. Miss Amanda had once been
engaged to Ralph’s father, Robert,
who had been dead some years.
And then, one afternoon, a fair,
curly-haired young fellow rang the
bell at the old house door and Miss
Amanda, coming to open it, found
herself looking into the face of her
youthful sweetheart, Robert.
“You are Mr. Lester,” the old wom
an asked, pressing one hand against
her throbbing heart.
“Yes, and you must be Miss Aman
da,” answered the young man. “My
father often used to speak of you.”
“My niece is in the garden. You
are at liberty to go to see her. You
are at liberty to take her away, to
marry her. But let me tell you that,
from the moment she becomes your
wife, she shall never cross our thres
hold again or —” she hesitated. “I do
not want to wrong you in my thoughts,
Mr. Lester, but she shall never inherit
a penny of my money.”
The young man rose. “May I ask
why, Miss Amanda?” he Inquired.
The memories of old days flushed
the old maid's withered cheek. "Be
cause,” she answered slowly, “your fa
ther was engaged to me. He left me
a few weeks before the wedding day."
She started. Mary stood at the door.
She had overheard all. She stood look
ing at Ralph, and lie saw on ner face
that her love had never died. He
started toward her.
“Mary, are you going to let the shad
ow- of the past generation prevent our
happiness?” he asked.
The girl went softly to her aunt and
placed her hands upon her shoulders.
“Aunt, are you going to ruin our lives
because your own was ruined?” she
asked.
The old woman's face was like a
mask. “As his father did to me, so
shall I do to him,” she answered.
"You can marry him —but my anger
will never be assuaged.”
Mary turned away. “You see, Ralph,
it is impossible,” she answered
quietly.
“Is there nothing can induce you to
relent, Miss Amanda?” inquired Ralph
Lester quietly. The old woman saw
how bravely he bore the shock, and
the thought of his suffering added fuel
to her ancient hatred.
“Yes,” she answered, “if Robert
Lester sends me a message from the
dead, explaining his actions, his cruel
behavior to me, then I can forgive.”
Through the door came little Doro
thy, leaning upon a stick. She was
holding a package in her hands. She
crossed the floor to where her sister
stood and kneeled down at her side.
“Amanda —” she began.
“It is useless to plead for him, Dor
othy,” answered the old woman. “You
know —who should know so well as
you, when Robert Lester came to woo
you before he courted me?”
"And you took him from me. Was
that no wrong, Amanda?” pleaded her
sister.
Miss Amanda frowned impatiently.
“That is between you and me, Doro
thy,” she answered. “If I have
wronged you In that, you have never
borne me hate for it. You do not
know the meaning of a ruined life;
nor a hot pillow wet with tears for
a frustrated love.”
Miss Dorothy rose to her feet, and
her face was ashen pale. She held out
the package toward her sister. Slow
ly, with trembling fingers, she un
fastened tiie ribbon which bound it.
and the scent of faded perfume dif
fused itself through the room.
“These letters explain all,” she said.
Miss Amanda uttered a gasp of
fear. There were half a dozen un
opened letters, in faded ink, and the
handwriting of them, addressed to her,
was that o'f Robert Lester.
“This is why,” said Miss Dorothy,
"I was jealous of you, Amanda. I
hated you with a hatred which was to
yours as wane is to water. When
Robert s letters came for you I hid
them away. And your own letters,
which you gave me to mail. I de
stroyed unopened. Now acquit Robert
and turn your anger upon me, Aman
da."
The mask had falien from Miss
Amanda's face. Her eyes were wet
with tears.
“Let the past bury its dead, sister,”
she murmured. “I am glad you told
me—told me at the last.”
And the two old women wept In
each other's arms. And Ralph Lester
drew Mary's arm through his, and
pressed his lips to hers.
Took Pains to Soothe
"Man's” Rutiled Feeling
As anyone knows who has read that
brilliant but rather disconcerting novel,
“The Way of All Flesh,” Samuel But
ler was not a slavish admirer of the
Institution of the family. His own
life at home had uot been happy, and
we remember that in bis “Note-Books”
he referred to some Biblical character
—Melchlzedek, was it not? —us a "real
ly happy man—without father, without
mother and without descent.” But
Butler, no more than the rest of us,
could get along without affection. He
bad a few close friends and was most
faithful perhaps t’6 the least deserving.
There was a curious relationship be
tween Butler and his man servant, Al
fred. What it was like can best be
Illustrated by a letter that Alfred
wrote him In 1801.
“Dear Sir; 1 hope you arrived quite
safe ou Tuesday and found your sister
well ... I have a little complaint
to make. You never* looked out of the
carriage to see me standing ou the
platform, as I always do. There was
I standing in the rain, and you never
looked at me.
“Yours truly,
“ALFRED.”
On receiving the letter Butler sent
an apology by telegram, and Alfred
replied:
“Received telegram this morning;
thank you. I showed it to Mr. Jones,
and he laughed. 1 forgive you.
“ALFRED.”
Horseshoe Lore Has
• Place in All Lands
If a girl walks along the road and
finds a horseshoe will) the open end
facing her it means good luck. The
first found horseshoe she hangs at
home over the window, but the open
end must face into the room. Tbe
others she places In her hope chest
until such time as site finds her “beau.
She draws him to herself by then
throwing out one horseshoe after an
other, so that he will not observe it
until the last one, over the window, is
reached. When she throws tills one
out she says, “Iloreshoe dear, please
ring out and attract my young man!
If I do not marry in a year, I’ll be
come a servant girl; if Ido not marr\
In two years I'll be able to marry only
the shepherd; and who waits for three
years remains an old maid.”
Anyone finding a horseshoe should
pick It up. turn it about three times
and then throw it over the head. If
the shoe falls with the open end facing
the person lie shall have good luck.
If it turns the other way, it portends
hard luck.—Czechoslovak Review.

Argentina has recently become a
heavy purchaser of United States
eggs in the shell, exports to that
country having increased from 31,-
800 dozen in 1922 to 740,100 dozen
in 1923 and to 1,881,710 dozen the
first nine months of 1924. The
poultry industry in Argentina is not
yet specialized, and although efforts
are being made in that direction, it
is hardly probable that Argentina
will produce for some time enough
eggs to supply its own I'equirements.
