i A LEAP IN
THE DARK
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
"MUs Eldrldge." said Mr. Tourtelotte,
'I have called on a matter of great Im
portance to me; whether It Is of an;
Importance whatever to you remains
to be seen. You remember we met but
a month ago on a yachting party; that
I chatted with you casually on that
occasion; that you graciously permitted
me to call upon you; that I have seen
you since that flrst meeting perhaps a
dozen times. During these meeting* It
has been but natural that I should take
pains to conceal my faults; that I
should wish to appear to you In as
favorable a light as possible. You can
have gained only u superficial knowl
edge of uiy character. I mny be strong
or weak, generous or mean, well poised
or passionate, but you do not know
which of these traits I posses.
"Nevertheless 1 have come to ask you
to be my wife Why I have done bo,
premising my Invitation by calling your
attention to your meager knowledge of
me, 1 will explain in a few words. I
do not believe that, however long n
man is acquainted with a woman or
vice versa, the one can learn the other's
good or bad qualities. To discover this
they must have been married some
time.
"Furthermore, I have observed that
friendship rarely brings love. The sei
ee mate through a mysterious dm wing
together under the Influence of what
we call love, and nil the world knows
that love is blind. 1 therefore ask you
to take the leap with me In the dark."
After this extremely well poised
proposition Mr. Tourtelotte took out
his handkerchief, drew It across his
mouth? with no purpose that was ap
parent-put it again In his pocket and
awaited Miss Eldrldge'n reply with his
eyes fixed on the ceiling. Miss Eldrldge
preferred looking on the floor; from
which some women scorning men
would lufer that the male aspires while
the female grovels.
"I assure you. Mr. Tourtelotte," re
plied the lady, "that I appreciate? am
deeply touched? by the compliment you
pay me. I a in not surprised that one.
of your age should look upon marriage
as a leap In the dark. I have always
myself considered It so, and perhaps
that Is the reason why I am approach
ing middle age without having married
Like you, I am somewhat analytical.
While I see In man a great deal that
is noble, I also perceive a great deal
that a woman cannot admire. Till the
twentieth century It has been hts
province to be a master to his wife.
It is only recently that brides are re
fusing to use the word 'obey' In the
marriage service. Then, too, a woman
has no assurance when she marries
that she will be gently treated. Our
forefathers who lived in the middle
ages considered women as their In
feriors. In some barbarous lands to
day girl children are made away with.
Among the Turks it Is still a disputed
point among the men whether we hare
?oulg"?
"Pardon me," Mr. Tourtelotte inter
rupted. the lady becoming more and
more wrought up with these growing
injustices. "Our men in America are
not descended from these semlclvlllrcd
races; we are even more considerate of
our women than our Caucasslan breth
ren in Europe. Neither the Germans
nor the English hare the reputation for
consideration of women that we have
in America."
"Pray excuse me, the wrongs our
sei have suffered for centuriea led me
somewhat further from the matter
that pertains to you and me alone than
I had Intended. I will return to It 1
propose a trial engagement for alx
months. I will agree to show myaelf
to you Just as I am at home; you to
pledge yourself to do the same in your
own case."
"Did I not say that we can never
really know each other without having
lived together as man and wife?"
"In that case," said Miss Eldrldge
decidedly, "1 see no hope for marriage
In our case. 1 cannot consent to wed
lock with a mnn who for aught I know
may turn out to he a villain, who may
maltreat me. and for whom love may
turn to"?
"I regret your decision, though 1
cannot commend It's common sense. I
would rather have given you an oppor
tunlty to know me better, but I hare
not the time. Tomorrow I go to China
to engage In business. I hoped to take
you with me. My disappointment la
very great."
An impressive silence followed.
"Must you go so soon?" she asked.
"I could not possibly remain orer
for a single day."
Another Impressive silence
"It Is a terrible risk."
"Terrible."
"But"
"But"?
"I know you are a gentleman, and 1
think you must be a good man."
"You are not certain."
"I think"?
"You think r
Til risk It"
The next morning at 7 o'clock there
was a wedding, and the bridal pair
Mlled at 10.
When the two were on the ocean an
other dialogue occurred The husband
said;
"How. with all your misgivings as
to men generally and one you thought
of marrying In particular, could you so
suddenly take the leap In the dark?"
"Firstly, It Is the only condition un
der which I could marry at all; and
secondly, 1 think taking a risk, after
all. Is rather nice."
A lady writing In tk* 1/ondon
Dally New* tnd leader takes the
part of tho Turk. In ftffect, she
declares that ha la no worae than
his neighbors, Mohammedan or
Christian, and thnt he la a treat
deal Setter than it oat Moreover
and, possibly, thU la the reason
why a woman takes up the pen in
hla defense? she bellevea that he
has never had a nhdnce. The view
o* the Turk as a downtrodden *nan,
whose progreaa among the nattona
of Europe IB Irapwlefl not by harem
skirts, but by political currents and
like Influences, is new to many.
The Roeton Glebe discusses the
Turk and the wMl likely to en
sue upon hla going East. The Glob<>
I remarks that there are about six
million of the Turk, young and old.
; male and female, In Europe, and
states, BostouUnly, ''What Is
meant, of course, by the phase,
i "driving the Turk out of Europe,"
Is only that the government of the
, Turkish provinces In Europe will
Tall Into other handa. The Turks
themselves will remain. "
If, however, after the present
troubles are composed and the
Turk should ele<* to fro East, he
would find ampli; room to gtow up
with the country In Asiatic Tur
key. The Globe says the Turks
! would find theru about 1T,000,?00
j o their co-rellglonlsts living lo a
territory nearly three times aa big
aa Texas and extending down to
(he Persian Gull! 'on one side *nd
along the whole length of the Red
Sea on the other.
"In spots the country Is nothing
to brag of. In other 'Spots It Blos
soms as the roie. The Garden 6t
Eden is supposed to have been
somewhere within Its boundaries, al
though Its exact location cannot be
fixed. There lire fertile valleys
and plains, aa well as mountains
and deserts. Seaports would not be
lacking.
"True, the population ia mixed ?
barbarous, seml-clvlllted and civi
lised. But that need not embarraka
the European Turks. They would
have mostly Mohammedans to deal
with, and they ought to find that
much easier than handling their for
mer non-Mussulman European sub
jects. 1 V
"So," concludes the Boston
Qlobe, "the yotng Turks ought to,
be optimists and reflect thkt al
though they may have been 'down
on their luck' In the present war,
they may recoup themselves for
their losses by going bark East and
growing up with the country " ? Ex

IT is a hard thing to'convince ?om? people, who hare acquired the

green field# far away appeal to them. ao they aend thetr money out of
town for aomething that ia no better than can be fourd mi the local
merchant's shelves. The money ia thua gone where they, i? -r any one
of the community, will ever aee it again, and where it can ? ? nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thot wanda of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offender* who are blind to the intereata ofthe commu
