STORY Her Sweetheart Returns By JUSTIN WENTWOOD Adelaide Rennle sat fingering the letter in her hands, while her jmind went back Into the past. Six I months before Bhe had married Jasper Thwlng, the bank presi dent, a man 20 years her senior. It had not been a love match. There had been no pretense of that on either side.

But Adelaide was thirty, and the days of youthful romance had gone forever. Now she bad received a letter from Harry, in Montana, saying that he was returning. He had not known of her marriage. That was what she was thinking of. Her mind had traveled back over the old days when Harry and she had been sweethearts, engaged lovers.

They were to have married as soon as Harry got a position and saved money. But he could never either hold a position or save, and at last he had gone West, and the engagement bad been broken. Since his departure she bad come to realize how much she cared for him. He was the only man who had ever won her heart. In a way she was fond of her husband, but Harry represented that romance that every woman needs.

There was no romance about Jasper Thwlng. lie was solid, substantial, common sense all through. And Harry was coming back, ne was coming to tell her that be loved her. And she would have to break the news to him. This terrible weakness that as sailed her seemed something that It was Impossible to struggle against What would she do when they met? What would he have the power to make her do? A ring at the door Interrupted her meditations.

She heard the maid opening It. The girl came upstairs to the room in which she was sitting. "It's Mr. Henry Ransom," she said. Adelaide felt her heart begin to beat forcibly feebly.

She stared at the girl in terror. "Show show him tip here," she whispered. She leaned against the mantel. waiting for him to come. She saw Harry again, with his red, curly hair, his frank, exuberant, boyish ways that had won her heart, Five years ago! What an eternity! Then he "was coming into the DAILY SHORT room, and Instantly she was caw rled back those five years.

"How rln von dn ITnrrv?" she heard heH self saying. How calm she was! How firm the hand that she ex tended was I 'Srv Tftii'rfi. married! I heard it ten minutes ago when I Inquire ior you i "Yes, I'm married." He burst out: "I've been looto risr fnrwnrrt tn th dfiv when 1 could return and claim yon. Some times I nearly went mad In th loneliness out there. Now I com back and find you are another's." it is unfortunate.

you care for him?" "Renllv FTarrv She wanted to laugh. It was so absurd, and she wnntPfl tn crv. it nrna sft nnthetift. It was Harry, just the same, In practical. Impossible.

He took her by the hands, mnrrlne-e ts nn mnrrlnee. li Isn't as If you cared for him. 1 have the claim that my years of love have given me. I want yott to come away with me." "Where?" she heard herself wnis per. i "Back West" She felt that her only defense! was in Irony.

"I suppose you cam give me something In return fo what you are asking me to give up my husband, my home, my, reputation, everything?" "Yes, my love, love that will never end. I will worship you as no woman has ever been worshiped." "And what position are yoa-taking me to?" He released her. In that Instant she knew that the epell was broken. "Why, I rve only got the two fares out to Montana, but I can get a dandy Job out there on a ranch, and you you wouldn't mind cooking for a while till Then she realized how much the years had severed them. She had grown up while he remained unchanged.

He would always remain unchanged. And she found herself laughing hysterically. "Harry, dear boy. run away," she said, "unless you want to stay to lunch and meet my husband. He'll be home presently.

I'm a big girl now, not a baby any more." But she sighed a little as sha saw him crossing the street dejectedly. Was all romance like thatt It was a good thing to be cured. But it was a nice disease. In Its way, too. (, 19J3.
