Disenchanted
A Pair of Lovers Meet
After an Interval of
Twenty Years
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
There were four of ua youngsters In
\Vlieutfield about the same age and In
I timnte friends. Flelen Porter and I
were bosom friends, and JUn MacAles
fer and Edward Dudley were lnsepa
! ruble. These two young men used'to
come to see Helen and me always to
get her till a time curne when we paired
nft'. Jim and I making one couple. Ned
and Helen the other.
I don't know a better way to make
matches than for two girls, chums,
and two fellows, chums, to form a
quartet for spending their leisure
hours. Almost always one of the
couple* will get to loveiuaking. and
the other will catch the infection. Jim
and I caught It from Ned and Helen.
I think it was their example that set
Jim and inc to thinking about mar
riage. At any rate. Jim began to grow
and I. thinking that I was not
iikcly to do better, encouraged him.
In due time he proposed, and 1 accept
ed him. At this time Ned and Helen
■! id been engaged several months and
had tixed their wedding day. But be
fore it came round neleu was taken
nil it was put off. Helen recovered,
and another day was tixed. but this
time Ned fell sick. and there was au
:<ther iMistponeme.it.
When Ned improved his doctor order
ed him to the mountains, where he
would breathe a dry air. He went out
I !•• the Uockies. to be gone a few
• •i!th«i. at the etui of which time and
mi his return the weddiug day was to
i<- tixed fur the third time. We all
tteiu t.i tli.' station to see him off. He
did not wish to go any more than
Helen wished to have him go. Jim
. .ui-ioVtl liiin till the train started, and
Helen went home in the carriage with
inc. weeping on my shoulder as though
[ her heart would break.
i «\otl wruu* imii ue *><13 uy
marvelouslv out iu the mountains. and
| wluu two mouths had elapsed ho
wrote Helen to brush up her trousseau,
f fur lie would be kick iu a few weeks
for the wedding. Poor Helen came
to me with a lugubrious fnce about her
trousseau, for the fashions had chang
I'd a couple of times siuce it was first
made. Articles that were cut short
I tlicii had since t>eeu cut long; those
! that had U-eti made scant were now
made full. She had bought several ex
pensive hats, very small, and the fash
ion had bloomed out to enormous pro
portions.
I helped her prepare a new trous
seau: but, alas, it. too. passed out of
fashion in closets and bureau drawers.
Ned. instead of coming home, wrote
j that lie had bought a gold mine and
| was going to make a fortune. He bad
some property and put a portion of it
Into his gold mine aud felt It necessary
that lie should stay where he was till
the property had been placed on a
paying basis.
When this next period had passed
N'etl turned his property into cash and
put it all into his gold mine. He wrote
It- Ion that this was necessary, because
if he didn't he would lose what he had
already invested.
I Helen's trousseau had now been made
over so many times that it would not
bear any more altering, and It was
i fortunate she didn't try to bring It
j down to date, for Ned was delayed in
! getting his mine into shape to leave.
All was going on swimmingly when a
•oi:siderable flow of water was struck.
A large pump must be ordered, and
[ when it arrived it was found not to be
large enough. Then there was a labor
strike among the miners. And so It
went on. tlrst this trouble, then that,
fill finally all Ned's fortune had gone
down into the big hole in the ground.
Ned wrote Helen telling her what
had happened—that he had no income
and would remain where he was till
he had recovered what he had lost
Ho offered to release her from her en
gagement. but so far as he was con
cerned he would never marry any on#
else. When he got his affairs in prop
er shaj>e to take a wife, if Helen were
free, he would claim her. Meanwhile
he would not blau.e her If she married
•mother.
Ned did about it. Her heart had been
«iven to him and she could not if she
would give Jt t0 another. If at the end
of live, ten, even twenty yearB he
I'lniined her he would find her ready
to give herself to him.
Meanwhile Jim and I were married
and getting on nicely. We regretted
that our companion couple's affair bad
not turned out so well. I did my best
to cheer Helen, and Jim wrote to en
courage Ned. But the case looked
hopeless to us. Ned was a long while
aftpr the collapse of his mine getting
any kind of start and when he got
one it wasu't enough to marry on. Sev
eral years passed, and be felt that he
and Helen had waited so long that he
didn't care to marry without getting
his affairs into excellent shape.
A dozen years passed, during which
Ned Dudley went up and down hHl a
number of times, never remaining on
a crest long enough to warrant—accord
ing to his own ideas—his taking a
wife. He kept Helen's picture with
him and never failed for a single day
to look at it for it was on his dfesalng
case, where be could not help seeing it
And Helen did the same by him. "Vrfion
tbey parted she m-os a beautiful girl
Bud Ned was one of Hie handsomest
young men 1 ever uiet 1 was frequent
ly in Helen's room and never failed to
se<i her lover's picture in a morocco
frame standing on her dresser.
Twenty years passed while Helen
was waiting for Ned to get hll'afTnirs
In shape to marry her. Then one day
be made up his mi ml that his Income
was sutllclent for the purpose. She
had said that if he came even after
twenty years' absence he would find
her ready to marry him. lie would
come east and take her back with him.
When Jim showed me a letter from
Ned announcing his coming we looked
at each other doubtfully. The letter
contained a reference to the beautiful
face that had patiently looked out
upon hliu from his bureau for so many
years. It was my belief that Ned was
thinking of marrying this young girl in
stead of the faded, middle aged woman
that she had become. Had he been
with her all this while the change
would have not been noticeable—at
least not shocking.
Men are not as apt to grow old look
ing as women, and quite likely Ned
had kept a youthful appearance. We
did not fear Helen's being disappointed
In him. only his being disappointed in
her, for she looke ften years older than
she was. and ♦i-r face had taken on a
disappointed expression. Ilor complex
ion was white; her hair was thin and
streaked with gray. She was certainly
not the woman a man of his age would
choose for a wife, lie would naturally
prefer one from ten to twenty years
younger.
I\eu UHI uoi nnic >«T null iic nas
coming. lie wished to surprise her.
So In bis letter to .lini he asked him
not to mention the matter to her.
"Don't yon think. Jim." 1 said, "that
we had boiler give him a sight of her
without her knowing it? If lie wishes
to go no further' it will be better for
both of thein that he should lie free to
go back west without making himself
known."
"Right yon are. my dear," Jim re
plied. "And I'm not sure but that we
should give Helen a peep at Ned un
der the same conditions. I saw a man
from the west the other day who
knows Ned very well. He told me that
Ned was not a fresh looking man at
all. He was nearly bald, and what
hair was left was white as snow.
This gives a comparatively young man
a very old appearance."
"That's fortunate. He won't l>e so
likely to be disappointed with Helen's
looks."
"He won't, eh? He will be blind to
his imperfections, and she will be
blind to hers."
I sighed, for 1 feared that .11 in spoke
the truth.
When Ned arrived he went straight
to Jim, happy after having waited so
many years at the prospect of being
united with the love of his youth. Jim
came home from the meeting and told
mo thut Ned lo«>kttl even older than lie
had been described. He had talked en
thusiastically about Helen's beautiful
features, the curves of her figure and
all that Jim had asked him to dinner,
stating that I would be glad to tell him
all about Helen, so that be might bj
the better prepared to meet her afte.
their long separation.
It occurred to me to invite Helen to
the house while Ned was there. 1 tele
phoned her that Jim was to have a
friend with him during the evening
and I would like her to come over and
sit with me.
When Ned saw me it was plain that
he was a bit shocked at the change
in me. I saw by his expression that
he was thinking whether he would see
the same change in Helen. He had
apparently been disposed to chat with
me in the way of youngsters, such as
we were when we parted—indeed, be
tried, but the effort was a failure.
Where, oh. where was that head of
thick raven hair I had admired so
much? Where the white teeth, the
slender figure? And life in a rough
country had roughened Ned. He was
bronzed and seemed to have forgotten
the king's English.
After dluucr Ned and Jim smoked, I
retiring to another part of the room.
Helen came in, and we could both
see and hear the men chatting.
"Who is that old boor over there
with Jim?" asked Helen.
"Do you consider him a boor?'* 1
asked.
"ties doiq uisagreeaoie looking ;iuu
speaking."
This was my experience with Ilelen.
Jim's experience with Ned was told
me later. Ned paid no attention to the
lady chatting with me until Jim spoke
of her as a friend of mine and a lovely
woman. Then Ned gave her a glance,
remarking:
"The old lady looks ready to turn up
her toes, doesn't she?"
Ileien went home, leaving Ned still
with us. Jim then told him he had
been looking on his ladylove. Ned
looked astounded, disappointed, then
frightened.
"Does she know I'm here?" he asked.
"No: we have kept your secret."
"Don't say anything till I tell you
to."
"Mum's the word."
The next day Ned told Jim that he
had received a telegram that some
thing had gone wrong with his busi
ness and he must leave for the west
at once, it would not be wise for him
to reuew the affair with his old love
when so pressed for time. II? would
make auotber trip for the purpose.
But another trip was never made.
Ned had been disenchanted. As for
Helen, she was spared the pain of
knowing that the man she had pro
nounced an old boor was the man she
had so long worshiped. She still nour
ished her memory of him as he was in
their youth.
