WHEN ELIZABETH
. SCORED
Or a Case of Too A\any
Lovers.
By AGNES G BROGAN
In hII Ills trying experiences us an
editor Richard West had iit-\or faced
so peculiar u situation. l'lie two
young men had burst in iij-mi ms pri
vacy. accusing and gesticulating iu an
Incoherent manner. After much ques
tioning their cause or complaiut was
found to be the recent publication of
the following astonishing communica
tion:
Mr. Hobfrt Wells and Mr. John Glegs
11 Woodborough announce their engage
aient to Miss Elizabeth Thornton of this
city.
Twice the perplexed editor read the
paragraph, then rubbed his eyes.
"This Is out of my province," he re
marked at last, "but I'll see the socie
ty editor about It."
"No use," snapped Kobert Wells.
"We went to her first, and she says
the clipping was inadvertently copied
from the Woodborough Suburban. Any
Joke goes In that home town paper,
but how a thing like that could 'get
by' in a responsible daily"—
"Such- blamed carelessness might
bring a pretty suit against your pa
per," hotly interrupted John Glegg;
"made things hot enough for us iu
Woodborough, but it was rather too
much to have it repeated whet) we
came to the city."
Iu a spirit of relief the managing ed
itor turned to answer his telephone.
"Editor Dally News?" questioned an
aggrieved feminine voice. "Well, this
!s Mrs. William Thornton. 1 called
up to ask explanation of that vulgar
notice regarding my daughter which
appeared In last night's paper. Yes;
unfortuuate mistake no doubt, but I
will call to see yon personally this aft
ernoon—at 4 o'clock."
Viciously Richard west uangeu me
receiver into its hook. "So there Is a
Miss Thornton!" be exclaimed.
"There is indeed." Mr Gloss remark
ed feelingly
"And yon have both, perhaps, been
paying ber attention "
"Well, rather," this from Mr. Wells.
"I can only express, then, my regret
for the occurrence and suggest a pub
lic contradiction."
"Contradiction." groaned the blond
one of the two. "Good heavens. It's
been rubbed in enough now!"
"ir anything or lite kind happens
again"— vaguely threatened his com
panion. and the door closed with an
eloquent slam.
Suddenly the editor's annoyed expres
sion changed to one of irrepressible
amusement The smile still lingered
as he returned to his work Hut as the
hour of 4 drew near and his clerk an
nounced a visitor In- clamed appre
hensively toward ihe door and arose
stittly It was onh a girl who eon
fronted him. however, not llie dreaded
.Ylrs Thornton, whose important name
figured so largel} in social cireles—
Jusi ii slip of a girl with appeatina blue
eyes aud a sensitive iiioiiili
"Are you the editor?" she asked
naively and, uninvited, settled herself
in the editor's chair "1 came about
that engagement notiee Had to get
here before mother, who will probably
make a fuss. I am Klizabeth Thorn
ton."
Bowing, the editor waited. "It was
1 who wrote the announcement," she
calmly stated.
"You:" Lie swung about in unbe
lief The girl nodded.
"It was one of my Jokes," she said
ruefully. "They always turn out the
wrong way." She leaued forward con
fidentially. "I)o you know what It
means to have reckless impulses, Mr.
West—doing or saying a thing you are
bound to be desperately sorry for next
day? Well, that's me. Let me explain
about that foolish announcement."
Miss Thornton's suddenly embarrassed
gaze sought the toe of her foot.
"You see, 1 have known those two
boys, Bobbie and Jack, for some time,
and we've gone around a lot together,
more or less. One afternoon unex
pectedly and "right out of a clear sky'—
Bobble asked me when—we were—go
ing to be—married. Why, I'd never
even thought of such n thing. When
I tried to tell him so he insisted quite
stubborp.ly that t&0. marriage question
bail always been understood" between
us; said when be talked about It 1 bad
never contradicted him." Miss Thorn
ton raised aggrieved eyes to the edi
tor. "Now. wasn't that unreasonable,'
she demanded, "to be expected to mar
ry a man Just because one bad not
gone round denying being engaged to
him? And that very evening"—she
paused Impressively — "Jack Ulegg
comes walking over to ask me when
I'm going to marry hltn; declared 1
knew all along that the bouse be was
building was for me.
"1 had encouraged Jack In the
building," Miss Thornton admitted,
"because he's naturally idlfe, and I like
to see him busy But It seems Jack
had told me the roof would never go
on his house uDtil he had the promise
of a wife to occupy it, and, of course,
any one would have advised him to
put on the roof. So." she sighed, "it
ended by both boys accusing me of
falsely leading them on while being
engaged to the other, and when 1 em
phatically denied this to each they
settled back comfortably, believing me
to be still their 'own betrothed.'" Miss
Elizabeth Thornton laughed.
"It was all so perfectly ridiculous,"
she continued, "that 1 decided to give
them enough of the subject and wrote
that silly notice, hurrying It off to
their home town paper to greet them
when they arrived. Woodborough en
joys publishing amusing personalities,
and I expected the affair to eud In a
laugh." She regarded the editor ac
cusingly. "But, oh, when the awful
thing came out In your paper!" Miss
Thornton threw out her hands. "Now
I'm afraid—for you," she 6ald.
Richard West followed the girl to
tho door and then surprised himself
by continuing to follow into the ele
vator and on down to the street, where
he stood an unnecessary length of
time assuring her of his regret and of
his ability to soothe the ruffled feel
ings of her mother. Again. In his of
fice he stooped to pick cp a bunch of
faded violets which had fallen from
the girl's belt and to place them care
fully In bis desk. Then he leaned
back In his chair, falling Into a pleas
ant reverie. Each fragrant breath
from the violets seemed to bring back
In an Indefinable way the piquant
charm of the girl's presence—that one
laughing gream from her bluebell eyes.
And so for days tho winsome face
haunted his memory.
Richard West rormed a namt or gaz
ing eagerly down at the passersby or
of falling Into brown studies before
his desk. Then, one day, th^, girl's
well remembered name caught his eye,
seeming to stand out In glowing let
ters upon the social column of his own
paper. When he had read the pas
sage a second time he summoned the
social editor.
"Let me know," be requested, "if
this announcement has been duly au
thorized." The social editor peered
through her glasses.
"The engagement of Miss Elizabeth
Thornton to Mr. Robert Wells." she
quoted. "Oh. yes, that is correct!
The notice was copied by request from
a Beechwood paper. Miss Thornton
has been a guest at the Balmoral, re
turning this week, as the notice says,
to be married In the city. I will send
you the original copy."
Swiftly the editor's practiced eye
scanned the bold signature, "Authoriz
ed for publication by Robert Wells."
Undecidedly his hand went out toward
the telephone. Then, as If iu answer
to his thought, the office door was
opened to admit u small figure.
"May 1 come In?'' asked a diffident
voice. Richard West's heretofore well
behaved heart beat a rapid tattoo as
the vision In blue advanced to his side.
"I did uot think you would do It
again," she reproached him. In si
lent exoneration he handed to her the
original signed slip of the disturbing
announcement watching In vast relief
as rebellious color flooded the girl's
indignant face.
"It Is Just as 1 thought," she cried.
"Robert Wells wrote the wretched
thing for revenge.
"And the fact stated Is not true?"
Miss Thornton scorned the eager
question. "1 was having such a
lovely time," she said—"dancing, driv
ing, tennis! Now he has spoiled It
all. If I had leprosy I could not be
more avoided. 'Returning to be mar
ried In the city,'" she mocked. "IU
never be married as long as I live.
This time you are not to blame, and I
came down to scold you."
"One might be driven to second of
fense," he told her, "for the pleasure
of seeing you once more."
"You may sec me again sooner than
you expect," she laughed, and her
prophecy came true.
It was a flushed and beautiful young
woman of flashing eve wfco burst In
upon mm one gloriously" memorauie
morning.
"I hope I'm In time," she began
breathlessly and waving aloft a paper.
Grandmother road It last night in the
Farm Gazette."
With that slowing face so near his
own, it was rather difficult at first to
grasp the significance of this latest
message, but presently Richard West
realized that ".Miss Elizabeth Thorn
ton was again reported engaged, Mr.
John Glegg this time figuring as the
fortunate bridegroom elect"
"Isn't it contemptible?" Miss Thorn
ton glanced dlstractingly through a
floating strand of hair. "You see, they
have agreed together to get—even. Oh.
I wish"— The resonant voice broke
tremulously as the girl turned to the
window.
Richard West followed, shaken, be
tween a desire for deep sympathy and
a desire for helpless laughter, wonder
ing at the piigbty emotion which stirg
ed within him at the sight of two
very genuine tears creeping down the
girl's averted cheek. Tightly his bond
closed over hers.
"It has all been so childishly fool
ish," she murmured.
"Perhaps it has," the man answered
gently, "but I'm afraid that I cannot
be sorry, Elizabeth"—he paused, and
the name was allowed to pass.
"I can't be sorry because the 'fool
Ishness' brought you to me, and I can't
be quite sorry for your tears. Tears
prove the existence of a heart, and it
you hare one—If—I—have—I want it—
to keep forever, Elizabeth."
Silence in the office while the tele
phone bell rang unheard; then Richard
West rushed over to his desk to pen a
hasty line.
"There." lie cried triumphantly: "that
goes into the paper tonight, and I think,
dear, you've scored the boys there."
Glancing over her lover's shoulder
the girl read aloud: "The engagement
is announced of Miss Elizabeth Thorn
ton to Mr. Richard West Weddins 'o
take place nest month."
Tenderly her eyes sought those of
the editor "Authorized for publica
tion by Eliwrbeth Thornton." she said
