EDWIN BROWNE. Manager.
Lottery ?J Marriage
(Original.]
My father and mother died within a
few mouths of each other, and I, a
girl of twenty, went to live with nn
aunt. 1 had not been educated to fill
any position, and, my father having
left me nothing, the outlook was dis
tressing. I made up my mind to go to
work at something -In which no prep
aration was needed, but my aunt was
unwilling that I should be at such n
disadvantage and persuaded me, at
least temporarily, to wait for some bet
ter opportunity.
One day she came to me with a let
tor. w hleh she read to me. It was from
Ethan Andrews, a civil engineer, who
had gone to Brazil to take a position
on a railroad that was then being
built and had determined to make the
country his home. He was evidently
a practical (I called It brutal) sort of
a fellow, without a spark of romance
In him. f.>r lie a.;kid my aunt to select
a wife for him aud send her to him
Just as he would commission her to
buy a horse. She proposed that I
should be the article purchased.
The case, ou Ethan Andrews' part, I
have since learned was not so bad as
It appeared. My aunt had written him
about me with a view to making a
match and had sent hliu my picture,
but she said nothing to me about this,
leaving me to decide, as It were. In
cold blood. The letter she had shown
nie was his reply. They had their own
reasons for this course.
At first I rebelled, but at last. In a
fit of desperation, consented, taking
the leap as a hunted doe will jump
from a cliff. I asked no questions as
to the traits of the man Into whose
arms I was about to cast myself, nor
to see his likeness. I was taken to the
steamer as a lamb led to the slaughter.
The steamer touched at Havana, and
this was my first appearance ou deck.
I'niler other circumstances I would
have been Interested in this scene so
recently connected with the Spanish
American war, but now I was too
heartsick to be interested in anything.
When later we steamed out of the
harbor, a gentleman began to tramp
back and forth apparently for exercise
near where I was sitting. Presently
he noticed my forlorn appearaucc aud
gave me an Involuntary look of sym
pathy. Then he went below, I Infer
red, to get rid of so lugubrious a sight
as myself, but he soon reappeared with
a bundle of magazines and deferential
ly offered them to me. This was the
beginning of an acquaintance that lu
a few days ripened Into frleudship.
'J hough he delicately refrained from
a^kiug me the cause of my gloom, I
longed to tell some one and confided It
to him.
"Poor child," bo said, a worlil of sym
pathy lu his voice, his manner, unit
especially in his kindly brown eyes.
"Po you wonder," I asked, "that 1
am the quintessence of misery?"
"I do not. At the same time I can
understand the motives of the man
who has sent for you. Doubtless he
missed the companionship of his own
countrymen, especially of his country
women, and. remembering that 'love
Is blind' and 'marriage Is a lottery,'
concluded to rely upon your aunt's se
lection. especially since he could not
g > and select for himself. No, I am
u)t prepared to admit that the man
you are to wed has the unredned in
stincts you Infer."
"And what do you think of my action
in the matter?"
He made no reply for some time.
He was pondering.
"You have evidently found It easier,"
I said, "to excuse him than me."
"My hesitation Is rather that yon
require a woman Instead of a man to
Judge for you. The adage 'put yourself
In his place' is in tills case Impracti
cable. No man can put himself In a
woman's place."
"You can at least Judge whether I
have acted wisely or not"
'Tuder duress you have made a de
cision Involving a risk, but who shall
s.-'.y whether your circumstances Justi
fied the risk or whether It Is a greater
one than If you had selected your life
partner after a study of him during a
courtship In which you were blin ted
by love and In which each participant
studies to conceal every defect?"
If the man who had sent for me had
put his proposition In such comfort
ing words I'm sure I should have
fallen Into his arms. Fosslbly I gained
comfort from the modest manner In
which my companion analyzed my
case, and more especially his soothing,
kindly tone. At any rate I was re
lieved and did not relapse Into my
former state till we entered Rio har
bor. But at parting with my friend,
although he strove to cheer me, as
soon as he was gone I collapsed.
The same evening at a hotel in Rio
a card came up to me, and, brushing
away tears, I nerved myself to meet
the monster who was to be my part
ner for life. When, instead, the com
panion of ray voyage came Into the
room my heart beat with a wild hope
that Providence had sent him with a
reprieve. He stood looking at me with
an amused look for a moment, then
asked:
"Well, have you seen your brutal
partner? I can't presume to call him
your lover."
"No, his card has Just come up, and
I supposed you were he. I presume
be will be up In a moment."
"My poor child," he said, "I am
Ethan Andrews."
"You?"
"Yes, I went to Havana to meet
you. I feared so businesslike a court
ship might repel you and preferred
that you should have an opportunity
to Judge of me before completing your
bargain. If you prefer to return, your
ticket Is ready for you."
It Is needless to say that I chosa
to remain.
