Knocking Out a Rival
(Original]
Frank Edgecombe and I were chums
In college ami follow athletes. We
foucht on the same football team and
bad our photographs taken standing
together lu the costume we bad worn
on the gridiron. I holding the pigsklu
In the hollow of my anu. Edgecombe
married a rich woman and built a
splendid country place. He invited ine
to. visit liitn there in the warm season,
i in the party, among others, was
ihss Emma Keith, whom 1 desired to
win. anil Wintleld l.arraway. who
looked upon Miss Keith with the same
languishing eyes.
Larraway and I each knew of the
other's intentions anil hated each other
accordingly. There are women who
wouid like nothing better thau to put
two nien at swords- poiuts ou their ac
count. but Miss Keith was not oue of
that kind I and my rival IkuIi knew
that any word spoken against the other
by either <>f us would render the speak
er contemptible in her sight. We out
wardly treated each other with studied
politeness.
There was .t cottage ou Edgecombe's
premises that lie hail fitted up for
lounging. It was a luxurious summer
house lY.ru: cd with costly rugs, d!
vans and other such appropriate furul
tur-' One UMrliing 1 strolled down
there and. g":ug into a room adorned
with Edgecombe's college trophies aud
supplied with magazines, settled my
self in an easy chair to read. On the
wall hu-jg, the photograph of Edge
combe and myself i:i football costume.
Hearing a footstep and a rustle of
sk:r:s. not wishing to be interrupted in
my reading I moved into an anterooui
('?tst as a ladv entered the oue 1 had
,'t. The door Ntweeu the two rooms
was open, aud I saw Miss Keith go to
the photograph, look at It long aud
steadily, give a pleasurable sigh aud
turn to the table on which rested the
periodicals.
Encouraged by what 1 had seen I
wtut in and joiued lier. We chatted,
and I ventured to lead the way to giv- j
Ing her au iukliug as to my feelings j
when 1 heard a mail's quick footstep. !
There was no impropriety in our l>eiug
there together! but I saw an anxious
glance pass oxer Miss Keith's face and !
on the impulse step pet I into au ante- |
room, intending to pass out by a side j
do*>r. Bur I found there was no side
door. Before I ????tild decide what to I
do l.arraway entered aud told Miss
Keith that he was going to the city for
the day aud would be happy to execute
any commission she might have. Inur
ing his brief stay they chatted about
the trophies, aud l.arraway expressed
the most unbounded admiration for
tr.v phy - ? .1 proportions, also giving
my mental anil moral endowments un
stinted praise.
1 knew perfectly well that he had
see:; l*>tli me and Miss Keith enter the
summer house and that he had praised
ine for a purpose. Whou I rejoined
Miss Keith she was somewhat flus
tered. and I could see that she had
b**en very much prepossessed with Lar
raway's praise of his rival.
you are Ixith tine fellows." she said,
-and Mr. l.arraway especially has had
an opportunity to show his nobility of
character."
"1 aui happy to be classed with him
lc such high praise." 1 replied and
Changed the stibjii t.
Larraway had scored one on me. and
If 1 could not turn the tide I feared I
should lose the prize. A few days lat
er i was knocking the halls about on
the tennis court when he came out on to
ti;e piazza. Miss Keith was sitting in
dishabille at a window, the shutters of
which were closed, for th> day was
verv hot. thinking that slit* was invisi
ble from the court. I invited I.arra
wav. who had not seen her. to play
tennis, and. putting him in a position
where he could not refuse without
teeming to be disoblig.ug. he relui ?
tau:ly consented.
Now I had taken prizes at match
games of tennis aud was then a chain
( ptou The tirst ball I served 1 landed
on the tip "f l-arraway's uose.
There is something painful in be'tug
thus b;T at any time, but to !?? struck
by a man oue hates Is too much for
acT man's equanimity. All the venom
that had been loug accumulating lu
Larrnway's br?ast burst its bonds and
was poured on tuy devoted head. This
Is not a proper place to give his lan
guase. which is not tit. especially for
a lady, to hear 1 sa.v something white
moving behind the window blinds aud
knew that Miss Keith had departed to
escape the unseemly vituperations that
were loaded upon me. 1 calmly apolo
gized to Larraway. even offering
him my handkerchief to stop the red
flood that poured from his uose. He
turned on his heel and went to the
house, while 1 remained on the colirt.
and since I did not care to be seeu
dancing myself I gave veut to my feel
ings by dancing the ball ou my racket.
When next 1 met Miss Keith I ven
tured a remark praising my rival for
his rare patience, his kindly disposi
tion. and was passing on to his other
adorable traits when she put her hands
to her ears. I asked in affected sur
prise If 1 had offended her. but 1 knew
she was tryius t0 s^ut out reinem
brance of Larraway's language.
1 won Emma Keith and the day after
the weddiug 1 told her that 1 had land
ed that ball on Larraway's nose for
the express purpose of putting him out
of the field. She maintained silence
for some time and I was curious to
know what her comment would be. It
was this:
"You ought to have been ashamed of
yourself. If I had kuown it sooner I
wouldn't have married you."
"So I feared." I replied, "and thafs
the reasou 1 didn't tell you till the knot
was firmly tied."
