Fairbanks Yields Nearly

An Engagement Kiss
[Original.]
I was iu u frame of mind to get all
the fun that could bo possibly extract
ed from two weeks' vacation. I ex
tracted so much la the first twenty
four hours that? but 1 anticipate.
I alighted at the hotel, gave my
hand baggage to a porter aud was
climbing the piazza steps when I saw
a girl whom I was sure 1 had never
met tiefore coming to meet me with a
radiant smile.
"Good gracious!" she exclaimed. "I
thought you were not coming till to
morrow."
"But you see 1 have come today," I
replied, humoring her mistake, for I
knew she was iu error as to my Iden
tity.
"Well, I declare! You quite take my
breath awav," she went on. looking
at uie admiringly from tip to toe.
"How yon have Improved! I'd scarce
ly have recognized you."
"You are the same lovely girl; you
couldn't Improve."
I was treading on dangerous ground,
but relied as soon as the error was
discovered on my ingenuity In making
up a plausible story to let me out.
"Well." I said looking at her wist
fully, "are you of the same mind?"
"Those people over there are looking
at us. Leave me till after supper:
then we'll walk on the beach."
I was glad to comply, determining
that as soon as I rejoined her I would
let the fact come out that I was not
the lover she expected. When we met
again my resolution weakened. I
could not resist the temptation to en
joy a brief period with so charming a
girl. Wc went dowu on to the beach
in the gloaming and strolled on the
line of foam. The moon rising out of
the ocean glinted the crests of inter
vening waves. The stars were coming
out. There was no sound but the plash
of waves. I knew that If I talked of
anything except love I would expose
my hand, and It seemed as natural for
me to talk love to her as If we had
long been lovers. I told her how dur
ing the four years of absence my heart
had yearned for her and begged her
to tell me If I was to be made happy.
Sailing on the broad sea of love I
struck never a rock, and when It was
time for us to go In she had no sus
picion that she had made an exchange
of lovers.
"And now," I said before parting,
"(five your reply lu n kiss.
She kissed me, and that kiss was the
loveliest, longest, most rapturous 1
ever took from woman's lips.
The next morning I rose late aud was
the only person In the breakfast room.
Sitting by a window, I heard voices
on the piazza.
"Who was the fellow," asked a
mail's voice, "and what did he look
like?"
"Like you. very much improved from
what you were when I saw you last."
"Il'm: You don't seem to consider
me Improved."
"Not In disposition. You blame me
for a very natural mistake."
"A very unnatural mistake. If yon
make such mistakes after we are mar
ried, there'll Ite the deuce to pay."
"We're not married yet."
I peeped through a slat in the blind
and saw a mail sitting with the girl
I had made love to the night beforo.
He looked very like me. though I did
not feel flattered by the likeness.
What should I do? slink out unob
served and take the first train or
brazen It out? I marched boldly out
and Joined them.
I certainly expected both to receive
me scornfully. Without waiting for
either to speak I begged a thousand
pardons of the girl for not rectifying
her mistake at once, giving as my only
reason that she was so charming I
could not bring myself to do so. While
I was speaking, which I did humbly,
the face of the girl slowly broadeuel
Into a smile; that of the man grew
momentarily surlier. Having done all
I could to atone for my sin, I turnel
and left them.
I resolved to leave the place that
afternoon, but meeting the girl with
out her lover, she extended her hand
to me and asked me to take a seat be
side her. I did so and told her of my
intention to depart, which had been
formed on the ground that my pres
ence there would not be agreeable to
her and her lover. She declared that
she would not be the canse of ray de
parture and begged me to stay. I de
termined to remain for awhile, but if
my presence proved objectionable I
would go at once.
That evening, observing the young
lady sitting alone on the piazza, I
Joined her. To my surprise, at my
mention of her lover she said that he
had gone.
Then she gave me her confidence In
a matter of which I already knew the
principal part. At eighteen she had
admired a man whom she had known
but a short time when he removed to
another place. They had correspond
ed, and after four years' absence he
had returned, hoping to get a favora
ble answer to his suit. She had been
disappointed in him and had rejected
him.
I chatted with her till the moon rose,
then boldly asked her If she would
wn k oa tlie beach. She accepted the
Invit .Uoa, ?ud, walking over the same
sands as the night before, I made the
same love. She proposed that I should
go away and return for an answer In
four years, but I told her I bad been
in suspense for twenty-four hours and
that was long enough. She considered
that ridiculously short, but yielded.
When later I rallied my wife on ac
cepting me on such short acquaint
ance she said:
"H"m! Do you suppose I was going
to let you go after that engagement
kiss?' MARK ANDERSON.
