■S HER THREE^
SUITORS
By GERALDINE KEMP
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
In her garden sat Phrygia one eve
ning amongst the roses and the yellow
elder bushes. Her summer home she
called “Sweet Briar Farm,” and when
in it, this little lady became the sim
plest of country maidens.
An open letter fluttered upon her
knee; in fact, three open letters; each
containing a proposal of marriage, or
to speak more correctly, a renewed
, Proposal of marriage, for the letters
were from the aforesaid three in par
ticular, who had pressed and who were
still pressing their suit with urgency.
Phrygia, as it happened, liked (hem all,
but sure of none was at a loss to
choose between them. Mr. Waldon
was the cleverest; Dan Courtney the
wealthiest; Harry Bond, the best look
ing, but of the true nature of the
three, Fhrvgia had her doubts. Wise
in her generation, she was only too
keenly alive to the fact that neither
wealth nor wit, nor mere outward
comeliness, necessarily brought wifely
content to soul or spirits.
“I don't suppose 1 shall get what I
want, but I am going to try,” she said,
placing the letters in their respective
envelopes, “for it is certain that if I
should make up my mind to marry, it
will he either Mr. Waldon, or Dan
Courtney, or Harry Bond.”
1 he letter Phrygia wrote in answer
to Mr. Waldon's, forwarded to her,
ran is follows:
“My dear Mr. Waldon: You wonder
where 1 am. Well, 1 will tell you, I
am rusticating at Sweet Briar Farm
with my staid duenna, Lavinla Grey.
You used to admire tier lovely white
hair and the way she looked at you
through her lorgnettes. Will you joirt
us? Come if you can on Wednesday
next. Very sincerely, Phrygia.”
And to th> letter forwarded from
Dan Courtney:
"Dear Dan: Do you care for green
fields and cows? Nothing else but me
I
am
No Other, Indeed, Than Phrygia,
and I^avinia? It so, come and spend a
few days with us at Sweet Briar Farm.
Come on Wednesday. Yours ever,
Phrygia."
And to that from Harry Bond:
"Dear Hal: If you can tear yourself
away Horn your business, or whatever
else occupies your valuable attention
for just one day come and see me. i
shall expect you on Wednesday. Phry
gia- ’
The letters were posted.
"Will they come?' Phrygia inquired
of Lavinia.
To which Lavinia made sage reply:
"If they don't meet tirst at Dove
dale perhaps they will.”
"\\ j if they do?”
"Then I think they won’t.”
Wednesday arrived, and there being
a special train by which the three
could travel westward, they met per
force at the little country side station,
where each had alighted in‘quest of
Sweet Briar Farm.
In quest, of Phrygia!
•Well!” exclaimed Harry Bond, not
over-politely, to Dan Courtney. "What
in the name of fortune brings you
here?”
"I was about to ask you a similar
question,” returned Dan, as plainly
show'.ng his annoyance:
Meanwhile up came Mr. Waldon, the
sight of whom caused the other two
still further discomfiture.
“Let me have the pleasure,” he said
with an affability best described as
princely, "of renewing .my acquaint
ance with you. We have met before, I
think, at Phrygia Dean’s.”
"We are destined in all probability
to meet yet again at Miss Dean’s,’ ob
served Courtney, stiffly, "for she has
asked me to spend a few days with her
at her summer retreat.”
"Where it appears she has invited
me of all men to bear you company,”
cried Bond, with a snort, vexed laugh
Waldon volunteered no information
whatsoever concerning his move
! men's.
"This is one of Phrygia’s whims, and
| I m hanged if she shalf make a fool of
me, fumed Harry. “I shall take the
next train back to town.”
Which he did.
“Miss Dean is forever playing some
trick upon her unfortunate admirers,”
Dan Courtney remarked feelingly to
j Mr. Waldon.
The latter smiled.
“I love Phrygia,” said he, “but would
win her only if she loved me in return.
I intend that she shall ask me to Sweet
Briar harm a second time.”
"Then I gw aione to Sweet Briar?”
“So be it.”
"And you?”
“Forget that I exist."
"Do you go back to town with Har
ry?”
“No matter. You have your chance;
take it. It is all that concerns you.”
And they parted.
Dovedale was a small and primitive
village, boasting of no vehicle except
a wheelbarrow and a donkey cart. Con
sequently Dan Courtney, on taking
leave cl his rival, set forth on foot in
the direction of Sweet Briar Farm.
Courtney encountered few folk on his
pieasant roa.l to the farm. A couple
of farmers—a rosy-cheeked child and
an old woman were chiefly those who
crossed his path. The old men hade
him good evening; the little girl smiled
at him, and the old woman as she
passed let fall with a clatter the
bundle of sticks she had been gather
ing in the wood. She was very bent,
very r“ay, and very wrinkled; her face
encircled in a big rusty black poke
bonne;. She was muttering and moan
ing strange things to herself as Dae
Courtney passeu her by.
But as her mutterings grew more ve
hement, he halted, threw her a coin
and so passed on again.
Had he glanced round at the old
withered poke-bonneted woman, he
would have seen that a tear had glis
| tened in her eye.
"I am very tired, ’ she mumbled,
"and the bundle is so heavy.”
‘Permit me to carry it for you,” said
a voice, some minutes later in her ear.
Waldon, tfor it was he, stooped and,
notwithstanding her protestations,
raised the bundle to his shoulder.
"Where do you live?" asked Waldon,
keeping pace with her feeble steps.
“Near the wood,” came the high
pitched, sing-song reply. "Near the
wood.”
"You are too old to work.”
"Bread must be baked and fires must
be made.”
"Do you live alone?”
"Granddaughter Mary lives with me
now.
“Granddaughter Mary ought to as
sist you to gather the fuel for your
fire.
“Maiy’s young and goes a-sweet
heariin.”
“When you were young did you go a
sweet heartin'?”
She nodded assent and hobbled more
briskly forward.
"Show me where your home is,” he
! said. “I should like to inform your
granddaughter Mary that it would be
more profitable to her if she cared less
for her sweetheart and more for her
grandmother."
” T won Id be little use,” quoth the
grandmother. "She’s young and it’s but
nat’ral.”
Natural to be thoughtiess?” queried
the prince "Have you ever been out
of Dovedale?”
She shook her head.
“Then Dovedale is your world.” He ;
drew a long, long breath, as though
the idea was stifling.
"Four walls and bread to eat, a hus
band, and children to rear,” cried she.
"What more do a woman want?”
‘ Ami you have been happy?”
"Never so happy as now!” exclaimed
a clear, ringing voice, and before Wal
don could recover from his astonish
ment 1 he old dame, with a truly mar
\ clous agility, had vanished—whither j
coiUd not say.

Just teii ’em that you saw it in The Journal
“Phrygia!” called Waldon, flinging
the sticks into a hedge and following
the narrow side path Phrygia must
have taken. At the end of the path
was a small wicker gate, and passing
through it Waldon came unexpected- j
ly upon a low, thatched, rose-covered
cottage.
After waiting several minutes the
door opened and some one came swift
ly towards him. No other, indeed, than
Phrygia—no longer wrinkled, old and
bent; tut in her most captivating of
summer attire; the simplest of hats
upon ter bronze-gold hair, and the
daintiest of blue ribbons around her
slender waist.
“Miss Dean.” exclaimed Waldon,
bowing low, “when will yon cease to
be everything that is bewildering and
enchanting?”
Mr. Waldon,® answered Phrygia,
with it responding obeisance, “when
will you learn to be anything but chiv
alrous and manly? What have you
done with my kindling wood?"
“I threw it away to follow you.”
"To follow me?”
“To the end of the world,” he added,
earn rally.
She coquetted a moment with her
ribbons and laces.
"Mr. Courtney must have arrived at
the faint by now,” she said. "I hope
Lavima will entertain him nicely.
Shall wt not go to Sweet Briar, too?”
Waldon hesitated.
“On one condition,” he said.
“Which is—?”
“That Dan Courtney returns to town
this evening with Harry Bond.”
"Is that wnat Harry intends to do?”
demanded she.
“Is he not a wise man?”
‘Very,” she acquiesced. “Why do
you not return also?”
“I tack his wisdom truly, but 1 can
not.”
"But if it is my wish?”
“If it is your wish,” he said, “I
obey;” and he turned quickly on his
heel.
"Indeed, it is not my wish!” she
cried. “Stay. Mr Waldon, and come
with me to Sweet Briar Farm. Mr.
Bond may be wise; Mr. Courtney de
termined, hut you—you are chivalrous.
I am content with what I have seen.
Will you stay?”
Silently he bent to kiss her out
stretched hands, and they passed from
the little cottage into the sunlight to
gether.
Keep
Your Nerve
It is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with Dr. Miles’ Nervine,
it assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
"I take pleasure in recommending
Dr Miles’ Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostration, insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above dm. ises
1 tried this medicine and found Immo
d; tte relief. It soothes and strength
ens the nerves, chases away tha
gloomj and depressing thoughts and
gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. It is a superb nerve re
storer.’’
