| THE TWO
SUITORS
Br EDITH V. ROSS
"
1
"Circumstances alter cases." Tbla on
Us face la an Indefinite adage. At any
rate. It la Indefinitely expressed, but It
xmtalns a trutb.
Miss Arabella Slmmonds was a very
romantic young lady, one of tboso girls
who dream of a prince who la to come
ind carry her off In spite of family and
friends and other suitors. 8ho spent a
great doal of tlrno picturing blm In her
Mind1* eye-tall, abapely and withal lai
mdculato In bis dress.
When tho prince came ho came dou
ble-that Is, there were two suitors,
both of whom, though they did not
fill Mlsa Slmmonds' dreams, were lino
to look upon. One was Peter Dowdy,
with nothing unromantlc about bftn but
bis name; the other Edwin Ledwlth.
whose name was well enough, but bis
manly beauty suffered a slight Imper
faction from a bald, apot the size of a
Jllvcr dollar near the part In bis hair.
Both of these young men being at
Miss Slmmonds' disposal, both being
especially desirable to her, she hesi
tated a long while betweeu them, then
one day made up her mind ahe would
accept Mr. Ledwlth. The reason for
this was that she would prefer a bus
baud with a bald spot to being called
Mrs. Dowdy.
It so happened that the evening of
the day on which she caino to this con
clusion both these gentlemen called
upon her. Both bad proposed and both
were anxiously expecting an answer.
Mr. Dowdy called first. He bad not
been wlfh the lady long before abe told
him that abe had been considering his
offer, that she admired and respected
blm, but she did not love him well
enough to marry him. Tbo look of
melancholy with which this dismissal
was received quite touched Miss Slm
monds' heart. He uttered no word of
reproach, said nothing about baring
been led on to his discomfiture; he sim
ply withdrew as one who bad received
Ills quietus and should have expect
?d It.
It was quite dark outside wbeD be
left the bouse, and there was no street
lamp near Coal hud been put In dur
ing the afternoon, and the colored man
who did the Job had neglected to re
place the lid after having finished the
Job. ?
The result was that Mr Dowdy step
ped right down Into a coal bin. Ho
fell and was some time rolling about
011 the conl before be could get on bis
feet again. Then, to bis horror, he dis
covered that the hole through which
be bad dropped was too far above him
to be reached There was a door to
the coal bin. but It was locked
Mr. Dowdy's object was to get out
without attracting attention. The
egress he preferred was by tbe hole
above, and be set to work heaping up
the coal that he might form a pyramid
on whlcb to stand, cntch at the sldo of
tbe hole and draw himself up and oat
He bad nothing to work with except
his bands, but he scooped hard and
succeeded In forming quite s sliable
pile. He knew that when be stepped
on It it would give way, so be did his
cllmblug rapidly in order to make a
reucb before being let down. The re
sult was a fall and a roll, and the
light siirlng suit he wore, the tnn spats,
his shirt front collar, cuffs, face and
hands were all as black as the ace of
spades.
Discouraged, he examined the door
of the bin and found It securely lock
ed A choice of two things remained?
either he must remain there Indefinite
ly or he must kick for some one to
come and let blm out. He shrank from
appearing before the girl wbo had first
refused him begrimed wltb coal dust.
But what mattered It? He had been
turned down and could not be turned
down but once, so he resolved to face
the music. He kicked.
Now, It happened that Mr. Ledwlth
called Just before Mr. Dowdy began
to summon asststan.-e. He bad bo
come tired of suspenne snd determined
to bring tbe young lady to the point
Fortunately he bad missed tbe open
coal hole by a few I'eet and was ad
mlfted to Miss Slmmonds' presence. His
appearance? ho was In evening dress
with a boutonnlere? vas conducive to
success. Miss Slmmonds thought ahe
had never seen blm look hnndsomer
There was not a speck of dirt on him
anywhere. A white kid glove rubbed
all over blm would not have been In
tbe least soiled. He opened bis caso
at once by telling Miss Slmmonds that
If kept In suspense any longer he
would go mad. Ho Implored her to
end tils sufferings.
Miss Slmmonds was about to confess
that she loved him wben sbe cast her
eyes aside at tbo doorway leading Into
tbe room and saw and recognized
through tbe coal dust the figure of tho
man she had but a short tlmo before
refused. If his expression bad then
been melancholy It now expressed the
wall of a broken heart
What a singular being Is woman!
Here was one wbo for years had been
dreaming of tbe manly beauty, the
shining habiliments of the msn she
would love. That manly beauty, those
One habiliments were before bor, and
there, too. was tho man wbo bad been
rolling In tbe coal bola With a wo
man. sympathy Is always "trump"
card.
"I regret Mr. Ledwlth." she said, "to
glvo you an unfavorable answer to
your very flattering proposal, but I am
engaged to Mr. Dowdy."
Mr. Ledwlth withdrew like a wound
is! Apollo, and Mr. Dowdy's smllo
I hrougb bis mask of coal dust was
| appalling.
