OUR SHORT STORY. r A PROPOSAL, A great temptation had come to Joseph Davis, and he had succumbed to it. He was young and in love-no uncommon combination; but he had not declared his passion, nor had he spoken of it to his friends. So far as he knew, the secret was all his own. When, therefore, he got a letter from the girl he loved accepting his proposal of marriage and asking him to' call at her house that very afternoon, he was vastly surprised. Most men would be under the circumstances, for he had written no letter and made no proposal. He was in the middle of breakfast when the servant brought it in and laid it down beside him. He did not recognise the hand- writing, and opened it carelessly, crumpling up the envelope and throwing it behind him into the fireplace. But he no more than glanced at the firet few lines when he got up from the table, and the remainder of his morning meal went un- tasted. The letter ran as follows:- "Dear Mr. Davis,-Your letter has made me very happy. Marriage is a very serious thing; but if you are quite sure that you love me. as you say you do, and wish me to be your wife, I shall be very glad if you will call for your answer this afternoon. I shall be in about four o'clock. Always yours sincerely, ANNA DAVENPORT." His first feeling was one of utter and com- plete incredulity. Could the letter be for him? He hastily looked about for the enve- lope. It was resting in a perilous place, just out of reach of a flame that seemed to be making desperate efforts to devour it. It was rapidly growing browner and browner, and curling under the heat. He snatched it away hurriedly, and found the address still legible—"Joseph Davis, Esq., 15, Albermarle-place." So it was for him after all. He tried to think it out. He had not written; of that he was perfectly sure. He could account for all his actions during the last three days, and knew that they did not include the writing of a letter containisg a proposal of marriage. After thinking the matter over and over, he determined that he would do as the letter bade him, and call at the house during the afternoon. The drawing room was empty. The door closed behind him, and he sat down and waited. The seconds seemed minutes. He lost all his nerve, and wondered helplessly what he would say. At length the door opened and Anna appeared. She looked charming as she entered the room and closed the door softly behind her, half turning her head to hide the blushes that rose to her cheeks. Then she came shyly forward, and Joseph advanced to meet her. He forgot his hesitation. There was alight in his sweetheart's eyes which told him more eloquently than any words could tell him that she loved him, and he forgot everything else but that. It was not until some time afterwards, when Anna had made him sit at a discreet distance from her while the maid brought in afternoon tea, that Joseph remembered with a start the wretched letter. Then for the first time he remembered that he was bound to be found out, even if the writer made no sign. She would sooner or later notice the difference in handwriting, and 'discovery was inevitable. But fortune favoured him. He was saved the task of men- tioning the letter by Anna herself. l "What made you write to me, Joe," she said, "instead of asking me? Were you afraid I should say no, and didn't like to chance hearing a refusal?" "Well, that was one reason," said Joe, look- ing up with a smile, and clutching at any way out of his difficulty. "And what was the other reason?" "I thought I could express myself more clearly in a letter, and I also thought I might not get a chance 01 seeing you alone." L "Well, you certainly made yourself quite clear," said Anna, laughingly, "but I had no > idea. that you were such a fearful exag- gerator." What was she referring to? So he put in. bravely: "There was not a single line of exaggera- tion in all I wrote you." "All you wrote me. you goose!" said Anna. "Why there were only three lines in the whole letter. You must have been very busy if you only had time for three lines. But why did you say that you had loved me for years, when you have only known me for eighteen months?" "Only eighteen months!" he said. "Well, it seems far longer than that. Besides, you know. I knew you by sight a long time before we met each other." "Well. but then, just fancy writing a letter containing a. proposal of marriage ou a type- writer!" said Anna. "What a terrible unro- mantic young man you are! I never heard of such a thing before! Perhaps you even dictated the letter to a. clerk. Confess! Did you dictate it to a clerk?" "How can you think of such a. thing. Anna?" he said. "Do yon think that a man would dictate a. letter of love as he would a business letter? I don't know what made me use a typewriter, except that I have got so much in the way of using one that I have almost for- gotten how to use my pen. But it must have seemed odd to you, now I come to think of it -very odd. Still, it doesn't matter, does it, whether it was typewritten or not?" "Not & bit," said Anna, shyly; "but I shall always keep it. as a curiosity, and later shall tell people about it as a great joke on you." "Yes, it will be a joke," said Joe, feebly. "But was there anything else in the letter which surprised you?" "Well, I didn't know you were so well off," said Anna. "Still, I should have loved you just the same if you hadn't been, so we will not talk of that, dear." Joe was only too glad to turn the subject. It was getting decidedly awkward, and he felt that he was in a hole from which there was no escape. The man who had written that letter had evidently stated his income, and Anna thought it large. What was it likely to have been? What would she consider a large income for him? He could only true to luck to get a. sight of the letter, else he must make a clean breast of the whole truth. So his was a qualified joy when he got back to his rooms that night. He had arranged to call and see Anna's father the following day, and ask for his consent to the match, and he would, of course, have to go into details con- cerning his financial position. Anna, in all probability, had shown the letter to her father, or had told him of its contents, and he waa bound to be found out. Perhaps, he thought, it would be better, a.fter all, to take Mr. Davenport into com- plete confidence, and tell him how matters really stood. The father was not a formidable sort of man. He had a sense of humour, and Joe thought that if he could only convince him that be was really in love with Anna. he would excuse him for acting as he had done. While he was thinking the matter over, with no great satisfaction to himself, he was inter- rupted by a knock at the door, and the servant told him that there was a gentleman who had called and wished to see him. "What is it?" asked Joe, in none too good a temper. "Mr. Wright, sir." "What the deuce can Wright want with me. I wonder?" thought Joe to himself as he got up and stood with his back to the fire. Wright entered. "Hello, Davis, are you busy? I want a good talk with you about myself. That is, of course, if you'll not be bored by listening to me." "Not a bit," said Joe. "Is it something con- fidential?" "I warn you that you will think me a pre- cious fool, and I give your permission to call me one." "Now, my dear fellow," said Joe, "you don't mean to say you have come over here just to tell me you are a precious fool. What have you been doing? Is it money matters again? Or is it a woman? Those are the usual two vexations, aren't they?" "Yes, it's a woman," said Wright, seriously. "Have you asked her?" "Yes." "And she says no?" « "I'm afraid she will." "Then you haven't got her final answer? Let her take her own time. Don't fluster her, and it will come out all right in the end. What did she say?" "She didn't say anything. I wrote to her. and haven't got a reply. Surely she ought to have answered it one way or the other, for it's two days since I wrote it." "Oh, you're sure to get an answer before long, old man. And, after all, it's not such a. bad sign, you're not getting an answer, for if she meant to refuse you, she would have answered y n by return poet. Keep up your spirits, and hope for the best." "Yes; but look here, I am afraid that she will be puzzled by the way in which I wrote that letter. You know how awful my pen- manship is, and how everybody laughs at it and says it looks Ake fly-tracks?" "Yes," was the answer. "I do. But what did you do? Did you disguise it?" "Well, to tell you the truth, I never thought about it until I had written the letter, and then I suddenly remembered that the very last conversation I had with the girl was about chararcter-reading from handwriting. she believes in that rot, you know." "And you don't," said Joe. "But doea chAt believe in it seriously?" "Well, she seemed to, although generally she is a sensible sort of a girl. But when I looked at my letter the thought occurred that if she began reading my character from my handwriting she would take me for an utter fool." Joe laughed. "My dear fellow, what a mountain you make out of a molehill! If she cares for you she won't let your handwriting stand in the way 1 of her accepting you." S "That's what I thought afterwards. But you know what idiotic things one does now and then when one gets an idea into one's head. I tore up the letter I had written and wrote it on a typewriter." "Did you typewrite it all?" Joe asked. "All but my address," said Wrigh It. I verily believe I forgot, and my name, which I wrote as well as I could after taking paine to make it legible." "But does she know your handwriting off your address?" asked Joe. "I don't know. I don't think so. I never wrote to her before, so I don't suppose she would." I Joe found the way clearfng. "I wasn't far when I told you I had fceen 0 fool was I?" asked Wright. "Well you certainly bungled it ft bit, answered Joe. "I wasn't far when I told you I had fceen t| fool was I?" asked Wright. "Well you certainly bungled it ft bit, "No, only two or three lines. I just told henJ what my income was, and asked her tht usual question." I "Well, you've got enough to marry on, ItB you begin quietly," said Joe. "I don't know so much about that. Thres hundred pounds a year doesn't go so very far nowadays, doe& it?" "It's enough, if the girl is a. sensible girl." said Joe, with all the sang-froid of an old Benedick, though he was delighted that m. friend had let out the exact figure. Wright sat still and smoked interminable cigarettes. "What would you advise me to do?" iMt asked, at length. ^§g asked, at length. ^§g "That depends upon the sort of girl she |M| Do I know her?" asked Joe. "Well, I don't think you could guess, aoS | nobody know of it; but, as I have told yois J all the rest, I may as well confess that the J girl is Anna Davenport," I ''What!" Joe cried. "Anna Davenport?" I "Yes," said Wright, looking up. "WhfJ | not? Does that astonish you?" J "I should think it does," replied Da "and I'm frightfully sorry that you ehonM have told me a word about this." 3 "Good heavens! Why?" jjfl "Why, for the simple reason that A Davenport is engaged to me." y flU "To you?" gasped Wright, taken comple aback. t'j "Yes, to me." said Joe. "I'm horribly sorry. but it can't be helped. I hadn't the slightest idea. that you were in love with her. I'll never speak of it to a soul." "Still what had I better do? I'm afraid 1 can't congratulate you very heartily as yeto old man, but you'll understand?" "Perfectly," said Joe, sympathetically. "Bat will you leave it all to me? I can tell Ann* plainly that you told me of the whole affaifw and she, I'm sure, will never mention it ta, any one else. Of course, it will be awkward for her to write to you now, knowing tha.t wor, are such good friends." "Tell her not to write at all." said Wright, "but say that I wish you both the greatest possible happiness." I When Joe was alone again he breathed considerably easier. The only thing that troubled him was that signature, until he remembered that both Wright and he bore th* name Joseph. As Joe had anticipated. Wright soon got* over his disappointment. For a few months afterwards he told Davis that he had made a mistake after all in believing himself to be in love with Anna, and that he was genuinely in love this time with the sweetest girl in all the world." Joe often wondered that Anna. never referred again to that fateful letter, and began to think that something had happened to it. But he was not anxious to bring up the eubject again. Still, when they had been some time married, Joe told her all about it. and asked: her whether, after all, he had done so very wrong. He was pretty certain of her answer and her forgiveness, especially as he pleaded that it was only his love for her which led him to do as he had done. "Well, it was very wrong," said Inn*, "very wrong, very wrong indeed, but I very glad th..t you did it; and as I am vetfl happy, and Sir. Wright is very happy, I— don't see that matters could have been im- proved upon." "But what have you done with the letter, dearest?" asked Joe. "I mislaid it," answered Anna, "on the very day that I received it, and could not find it again, though I hunted high and low. But it has all come out right, and it doesn't matter now." "I wonder if I should tell Wright?" mid Joe, after a moment's thought. "Certainly not," wju Anna's prompt repl £ «^
