LOVE AFFAIR
By JOHN ADAMSON
Copyright by American Frew A sue
elation, 1911.
The Onlted States nriuv ami tiarv.
which used to be very aristocratic in
stitutions, art-, like everything el- e, !><?
coming democratic. The ok) army ht<
fore the civil war was like ow family
?that Is, the officers and their wive*
and children constituted one select so
clal circle. Recently there have been
several episodes to Indicate th:it the
old spirit fs dying, hot dying hard. The
fallowing story illustrates this:
I was graduated at West Point at
twenty, and I don't know a m?re dan
gerous age than that for a young offi
cer. His pay euubles him to tnnrry
lie has seen nothing of the world and
nothing of the opposite sex etc. |>t for
a coupls of months ea<-h summer for
two years during the encampment sea
son while he ttns a cadet ItHmscd
from a confining life, hr Is rvudr to
fall tn love with the first girl h?- meets
I was graduate*! kn the engineer*,
and the first Job F was given in the
government was making an estimate
on certain intended repairs on ;i f?rt
on the Atlantic coast In a southern
state. The fort had not been kepi up
havlag been left tu charge of an ord
nance sergeant, but In view of a feel
lng on the part of the people of the
United States that our coast defenses
needed strengthening the government
decided to look Into the matter.
Fort L. was situated on a point of
land extending Into the ocean and as |
lonely as a lighthouse. For a few
months In the spring the neighbor
hood was a resort for northern per
aons, chiefly Invalids, there being sev
eral hotels on the beach. I was sent to
the fort In October. When 1 first saw
the old pile with Its empty casements
and empty <juarters I shuddered at be
ing obliged to pass some time there.
The sergeant made me as comfort
able as be could In a casement, his i
wife taking pains that it should be
clean, and my bed waa provided with
snow white llneti.
And now comes the point of my
story: The couple bad a daughter sev
enteen years old. What could 1 do?
What did 1 do but make love to her
I knew perfectly well that there Is a
barrier In the army between the fam ;
llles of commissioned and tioncommls
sloned officers. I knew furthermore
that Mary- Converse was getting no
education and had never mingled with
the class of people to whom I wao
used. If 1 married her It would place
her out of her element and ahe would
be a lifelong drag on me.
But here was I In the springtime of
life, shut up with a girl In a fortress
and no other associate. I doubt If any
precaution would have availed. Stic
was situated just as 1 was, 6hut up
with a young soldier, and could no
more resist a natural drift toward me
than I toward her.
Before leaving I asiieu Mary con
verse to be my wife. I knew I was
wronging her and myself in doing so.
but I bad conceived high notions of
honor at West Point Rnd considered
myself pledged to her. At her ag . nod
being one of tbose feminine girts who
when they love love hard. I believed
that if I deserted her It would wreck
her life So I went away engaged,
well knowing that if 1 did not desert
her both our lives would be wrecked.
My first visit to my fiancee was in
the following spring. The hotels on
the beach were now open, and I took
up my quarters in one of them. Some
seven months only had elapsed, and
Mary was not much, changed. I felt
the same toward her as before The
reasons I attributed this to are that it
was a case of young and innocent love. ;
and Mary was a superior girl. She
was bright, she had what we call
character, and she was pretty.
At the hotel I met a Mrs. Boylngton. |
the wife of an army ottlcer, who con
celved a marked friendship for me
She was twenty years my senior, and j
I craved some one on whom to be
stow my confidence So I told her of
my affair.
"It must be broken off," said the
lady, "both on your account and the
; girl's."
I "She will not be able to endure It
without serious consequences." 1 re
plied.
Our talk ended In the lady's going
to see my betrothed. On her return
she banded me a note from Mary bad
ly written, misspelled and blotted
with tears. In which abe said that
Mrs. Boylngton had convinced her
that she would harm me and herself
by marrying me and she released me.
I was so far attached to her that I
spent some time making up my mind
to accept the release.
After that I met many young ladles,
but none of them pleased me. 1 was
preoccupied with my first love. In
deed. I did not propose to replace her
Since the difference in our stations
prevented our marriage I would mar
ry no one. At Intervals I met Mrs
Boylngton, to whom I told my feel
tags.
"Don't talk that way at your age,"
she replied. "You'll surely find some
one you can love," .
Six years later Mrs. Boylngton and
I met at the same station. She asked
me to dine with ber, and whom should
I meet at her quarters but Mary Con
verse. but not, so far as education
and manners were concerned, the sim
ple Mary Converse of years before
Mrs. Boyington had edncated her and
1 given her many social advantages.
She bad been as true to me as 1 had
been to ber, and before w* parted our
engagement was renewed
