Well. Peter Is not j--
,—----- | Washington. Dec. 30 (Associated ■
pectediy found himself in like ease. Press)—President and Mrs. Coolidge,
arrived home early today from Tren- ’
ton. X. J., where the president spok?
elded relief to him when, the next risrht at the Battle of 1 renton
week. Ids firin sent him away on a celebration,
business trip.
Something happened. Peter fell
in love. She was the daughter of
the man he had been sent nut to
do business with—a pretty little
thing with hair verging on red; not
highly Intellectual: of the dinging
sort—a clingstone peach. Her name
was Flora Ivins. When Peter di-
agnosed his case and found out
what was the matter with him he
was as dazed as he had been when
he found himself engaged to Net-
tle—and a great deal more dis-
tressed. Honor bound him to Net-
lie—love called him to Flora.
Ry Nettie’s request the engage-
ment between her and Peter had
been kept secret. Rut that made
no difference. Peter was as fast
| bound In honor as if their engnge-
i inent had been announced. Peter
J and Nettle had promised, when Pe-
I ter went away, to write to each
' other every day. Rut somehow the
correspondence had languished. A
month wont hy and Peter’s mission
was ended. He prepared to turn
Ids face eastward toward Nettie,
home and duty. The very morn-
ing he was to start he received a
letter from Nettle. She wrote that
she felt their engagement had lieen
a mistake; they were not suited for
each other. She gave him back his
troth. She herself had re-
solved never to marry but to de-
She
felt herself better fitted for that
than for matrimony.
Peter asked h’s firm by telegraph
for a vacation amf get it. He spent
It In the Mid-West. When he finally
started East again lie was again
an engaged man. This time it was
Flora. Arriving at his home town
the first man he met as be stepped
off the train was Jabez Calender,
the town's news budget. “Well,
i Jabez, what’s the new#?*’ asked Pe-
ter.
“Oh, m»t much.’ replied Jabez.
V| “ ’ceprin’ that Nettie Sliarpless was
married yesterday to old Jim Ben-
net.” Yes. Nettie had married Jim
Bennet—and :: mighty good wife
she made. Never was a more de-
voted couple. Malvina was sup-
ported in comfort in a separate es-
_LY_2-------- complaining bitterly
of her daughter’s ingratitude.
When Bennet died Nettie grieved
deeph devoted her life to works of
charity ami never married again.
