AN ABORTIVE
ATTEMPT
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
"I don't know what t,o do with
Jaciueline," said Mrs. Markham to her
friend Mrs. Keane. "She Is at a mar
riageable age and should be married.
We are living up to our Income, and
if anything should happen to her fa
ther she would have to go to work.
That would end her chances for mar
rying in the set to which she belongs.
It would take her from the young men
whom she has been accustomed to
meet socially, and work soon spoils a
girl's looks. She has turned down
three men during the past year. AH
the mothers of sons are afraid of her.
As soon as she has fooled one another
idiot steps into his place."
"My Bert is much the same in refer
ence to girls," replied Mrs. Keane. "It
doesn't matter so much about a man's
delaying marriage, but I should like to
see Bert married. He needs a settler,
and marriage alone will make a man
stop prancing and bring him down to
a steady gait Suppose we shut the
two up where they can't get away from
each other and not let any one else
come near either of them till we get
them married."
"The very thing."
"We go to our country place next
month. Come and make us a visit,
bringing Jack with you."
"Thanks very much. I shall be de
lighted."
On the 1st of June Mrs. Keane re
moved to her country place, taking her
son with her. She was obliged to bribe
him to come. As to his staying, she
depended en Jaqueline Markham to
keep him. She told him that she was
to have Mrs. and Miss Markham for
guests and wished him to help her en
tertain them, but at the slightest sign
of his making love to the daughter she
would make an excuse to terminate
the visit Mrs. Markham gave similar
instructions to Jaqueline. Any effort
or her part to make a conquest of Bert
Keane would be a signal for their re
turning to their home.
Since neither of the young persons
wished to pass the time shut up in the
country at a season when the city was
still attractive it would seem that they
would at once do wffat they were for
bidden to do. So they did, and their
wily mothers knew they would, but
the latter could if they liked be for
bearing or blind or anything to avoid
separating the two youngsters.
It was scarcely necessary to oppose
any lovemaking between Mr. Keane
and Miss Markham to bring about a
flirtation. The mothers saw at once
that if tfiey could keep off other young
men and women till the affair was
played out there was hope for the suc
cess of their plan. No other guest was
Invited, neither man nor woman.. The
Keaue place was not near other simi
lar places, and the summer hegira
from the city did not take place till the
1st of July.
Had the mothers held to their threat
the visit would have ended within an
hour from its commencement The
youngsters began a battle royal at the
first moment of their meeting. Jaque
line was the aggressor. Bert, not
withstanding his mother's view of him,
with women invariably stood on the
defensive, but when attacked was an
excellent combatant The two were
permitted to walk "■and drive out to
gether and often availed themselves
of the permission. They always came
back together, so that their mothers
felt satisfied that they had found do
other outlet for playing their pranks
and while at home were inseparable.
Nevertheless ten days had scarcely
elapsed before Mrs. Keane on entering
a room where the two were supposed
to be "spooning" was surprised to see
Jaqueline at one end of it engrossed
in a novel, while Bert was at the other
reading a newspaper. This was not
encouraging. A few days later Jack
disappeared. She had left a note for
her mother stating that she had gone
home and her going was a matter of
necessity. During the day it was re
ported that a young farmer in the
neighborhood had attempted suicide.
Still later a woman came to ~the
Keanes with blood in her eye asking
for the girl who had broken her son's
heart
Bert fled the same evening, and the
next morning's mail brought a note
from a country girl reproaching him
for not having met her "at the trysting
yiuv. «*.
The nest few days brought news of
other incursions on the part both of
Bert and Jaqueline. Then the two
mothers made Inquiries as to how
those whom they had endeavored to
keep out of harm's way by keeping
them together and apart from others
had found their opportunities, with the
following result:
They had gone out together and re
turned together, but there was no evi
dence that they had remained together
during their absence.
"Jack Is Incorrigible,'' said her moth
er gloomily. "It Is Impossible to do
anything with her."
"I'm afraid Bert Is no better," said
her friend.
Strange to say, the young man, who
was at this time but twenty years old.
afterward studied for the ministry and
married a matter of fact woman and
without a spark of romance In her na
ture. One might as well have attempt
ed to flirt with a telegraph pole. As
for Jack, she married a man of busi
ness twenty years older than herself
and occupied herself for the rest of
her life bringing up a largw family of
children.

MUSCLES OF STEEL
They May Go Hand In Hand With
Poor Physical Health.
Great muscular strength is no criteri
on of health. The most powerful ath
lete may be conquered by malaria or
typhoid fever when a frail little wom
an throws off the attacks of the germs
that cause these diseases and never
feels them.
A great prizefighter walks out Id the
evening and is stung by a mosquito.
A. day or two later he is shivering with
cold and burning with fever by turns.
The mosquito has injected the germs
of malaria Into his blood, and his blood
has not the strength to exterminate
them. He receives a small wound.
The surgeon has to sew it up. and the
big, husky chap faints from the pain,
while a slender, fragile woman endures
pains a hundred times as severe with
scarcely a murmur.
For mnscular strength and physical
health have nothing to do with each
other. The physical exercise 'that
causes the former is, however, con
dncive to the latter, for it makes a man
breathe deeply, sets heart pumping
more vigorously, aids his stomach and
intestines to digest better, distracts the
mind from care and promotes sound
sleep. But great muscular strength
often exists with poor power of resist
ance to disease.
The most obvious proof of this is in
the resisting power of women. Wom
an's vitality is greater than man's.
She resists starvation better; she is not
so susceptible to cold or heat; she can
stand a greater loss of blood; when
poisoned she Is more likely to recover,
and how often do we see physical gi
ants the most miserable of victims to
seasickness while delicate women are
eating their tive meals a day in stormy
weather on shipboard! — New York
