T. ANTHONY TWINING.

All For Nothing.
^ o
[Original.)
John Thompson was tweuty-oue am*
old for bis age. Tlie only thing you' i
ful about him was bis love for Anita
Merrl weather, who was but seventeen
and young for that tender age. Aldtft *
parents had reluctantly eousented to
uu engagement. fearing thttt th*'
d-iughtcr might cbauge her mind bt
{ore reaching a marriageable age or
later on find herself tied to a mau
whom she would not choose at matu
rity But Aulta regarded herself al
ready as at a marriageable age and
?taw no possibility of ever changing lier
"'??Johnny," she said one day. "I wish
you had more spirit."
?What do you mean, sweetheart,
asked John, surprised.
*?1 tbiuk you submit very turnelj
all these requirements and eoudlttoni
laid down for us l>y P?Pa nlMl
"l don't know of but oue? the wait
ing till vou are ulneteeu."
-Isn't that enough? But I suppose !t
doesn't seem very long to you."
??1 don't permit myself to think of
lt i trv to keep my mind ou my dally
work This will the better enable me
to take care of you when I get you."
"What a humdrum sort of fellow yon
are' 1 like a mau who resents hav- j
Ing others stand In the way of his de i
sires. especially In love."
There was a good deal more of this.
Anita, though not much beyond child
hood. had a woman's natural aptitude
for carrying her point, and 8he suc
ceeded In doing so with John. That
polut was to gain his consent to mar
riage with or without her parents' per
mission.
? Very well." he said after discover
ing that a willful woman must have
her own way. "What do you propose?"
"1 -suppose we'll have to run awaj .
-I don't think we'll have to run very
""Indeed we shall. If papa should
get wind of our going, he would follow
us furiously."
??I doubt lt. He has no objection to
me. He only wishes us to wait till you
are sure of vour own mind."
The upshot of it all was that a few
days later John stopped at the door of
the Merrlweathers' with his automo
bile. Anita got lu. and they rolled
away. They had taken many an after
nooti ride together, and there was net
ther occasion to ask permission u?r to
put ou any considerable power. Aulia s
mood, however, was not In keeping
with their <iulescent conditions. She
either clutched John's arm as though
for protection or drew away from
him as though he was dragging her
Into lt. John, when he had got be
vond the town limits, put on a fair
speed. For the first time since the
elopement, If lt could be called such,
had been mentioned Anita's thoughts
appeared to be turned from her own
desires to whate^f t,f Paln Btl< might
be inflicting upon her parents.
"I wonder how mother will take It.
she snld.
'?Don't know." was John's lacoulc
reply. , .?.
"I've always been papa's especial
pet. It's hard to do anything to hurt
him." ?
"I suppose he'll have to stand It."
"You're very unfeeling."
"Unfeeling, sweetheart! It Isn't that.
We must fare boldly the conditions we
take upon ourselves."
Thero was a pause, after which she
begun again:
"Mother's health hasn't been of the
best for the past few months. I hope
It wou't break her down."
Johu made uo comment on this.
They were Jogging along steadily. She
was so absorbed with her thoughts
that she paid no attention to the route
they were taking.
"I dou't know," she went on, "what
I'm golug to do without papa's kiss
every night and morning."
"I'll give you two," said John, "in
stead of one."
?n'ml"
They were approaching r bouse.
John guided the automobile in to the
??klewalk and stopped.
"What's this?" exclaimed the would
be bride In terror.
"Clergyman."
"That horrid Mr. Parker? I don't
want to be married by him. Go on,
quick."
John pushed on. Anita leaned back
on the leather cushlou and as a pro
tection against wind and dost drew a
veil over her face. The machine chug
ged, the sun shone down softly, the
birds were singing In the trees beside
the road. John heard a sob. Then
Anita took out her pocket handker
chief, managed to get It under her veil
and covered her eyes with It. If John
had been driving a horse instead of an
automobile he would hare put an arm
about her to comfort her. but his ma
chine needed both bands Anita main
tained her position. 8he kept her hand
kerchief over her eyes and occasion
ally gave an audible sob. John main
tained silence. Being old for his age,
he knew that anything he could say
would be of no avail and would In
crease the trouble. He was a man of
deeds rather than words. But he could
not help thinking that It was not a
cheerful wedding party.
Time and the automobile rolled on.
Presently the latter came to a stop.
"We're there," said John.
Anltn did not move.
"Will you get out?" he asked.
Anita shuddered, took her handker
chief from her eyes and looked about
her. She was at her own front door.
Wthout a word she stepped down on
to the sidewalk and. not deigning to
notice her lover, went Into the bouse.
The elopement was over, and no evil
consequences.
