J | The Perversity B
|| Of Young Love |
I [Original.]
Horace Bradbury fcnd Julia Inslee
j were of 11 very simple type of young lov
ers. One would naturally suppose that
they would i wine together like two
vine shoots. Their hearts did, but they
did not. This was not because there
were obstnu tious lu the way of their
union, for there were not. 'it was a
I simple natural porversity.
In the flr^t pla.-e, Horace took a long
time to discover Hint he wanted Julia
ISO long Indeed that every one else, in
I eluding the object of his affection,
I knew it long before he did himself.
Horace at last round out the secret
of his heart, and when he did he burn
ed to tell it at ouce to the girl he loved.
J He chose the ilrst opportunity that pre
sented itself, ami that was not a pro
pitious one. They were together on a
nutting party with a large number of
young people of their owu age. Horace
asked Julia to saunter away from the
others with him. .lulla kuew at a
glance his object in going and with a
natural feminine perversity, together
with a desire tj punish him" for taking
so much time before making his dec
laration, threw straws in his way.
"What do yon want to go away from
fill tlie luu for V' asked.
X want to show you something "
What?"
I A bridge below over the creek It's
a nice place n sit and talk."
do you want to talk about?" j
I \e something - Important to tell
you."
"Suppose I don't want to heaMt."
| Horace was thrown flat aback. It I
hadn t occurred to him that she would
not wish to hear what he had to sav '
j "Well, then." he said. -| suppose
there s no use in telling you." and.
walking away. |,e joined some on?
else.
Jh:r:' ,y"\ together again
| till shoitl.\ bet ore the time of de
parture. Then Julia was very gracious.
Horaces brow was cloudy Julia re
marked that there would l.e time for a
walk before going home. Horace said I
there would l.e only time for a verv
short walk, and he didn't care for a
short walk.
I thought you had something to tell
me:" said Julia.
"I had." said Horace. I
^ 'j\\ hat lias become of it?" asked '
"Von didn't want t.. hear it. and I'm
koopiujj ,'t for souio oho elso."
Julia looketl sober, she said notb '
ing for awhile, but when she did it j
formed a very important link In these
very ordinary proceedings.
Jim Hawkins wanted me to walk I
to the bridge with him awhile ago "
she said.
Jim Hawkins was Horace's onlv
al? that is. he would have been had
Horace had a rival. At any rate, his
uame at this critical juncture struck as
much terror into Horace as the name
of the Black Douglas In days of old I
into little children. But perversity is
not solely a feminine trait.
Why didu t you go':" he remarked. 1
It wouldn t have been verv uice of
tne to go with him when I hail refused
to go with you."
"Maybe he had something to tell
you."
"If he had I didn't want to liear it."
Circumstance as well as perversity
has something to do with such cases,
anil in this case circumstance inter
fered just as the matter was in a
fair way to be straightened out. Mary
Dale, the only girl Julia was afraid of
so far as Horace was concerned, came
up and reminded Horace that he had
promised to show her the waterfall up
the creek a bit. Horace said that he
would not only keep his promise, but
be very glad to do- so.
When Horace and Mary returned the
picnic was breaking up and the young
people were putting the empty lunch
baskets into the wagons. Horace looked
ubout for Julia and failed to see her.
He liunled for her and found her sit
tlug behind a big tree crying. Worn
au's tears are to a man what oil is to
hardened putty. Horace softened.
"What's the matter?" he asked, in a
loverlike toue.
'Tin disappointed," she sobbed, dab
bing her handkerchief into her eyes.
"What about?"
"I've always wanted to see that
bridge and now we're aoing home and
I haven't."
This was a surprise to Horace. He
stood thinking.
"Would you like to go to the bridge
now';" he asked presently.
"How'll we get home?"
"We'll have to walk. I expect."
"I don't kuow that I can walk so
far."
"I thiuk you can. It's only seven
miles."
Some one cried "All aboard!"
"Can you do it?"
Jnlla made no reply. The tree was
between her aud the wagons and she
was waiting for them !?> tie gone.
The wagons once on tlieir way, Hor
| ace aud .Tulia waited till the shouting
of the boys and girls died away in the
, distance, then Julia arose and the two
j walked down the creek toward the
bridge.
The story had already been told.
, What use to trudge a mile to tell it
again in words? And were any words
spoken? If they were they were
doubtless but three, and could have
been said at -any time.
The pair sat by the bridge five min
utes, then got up and proceeded to pay
for the privilege of having done so by
a three hours' tramp to town. Wns It
paying for the privilege or was It an
| additional happiness? One must either
! be very young or have a good memory
j to answer the question.
