GEORGE T PARDY (Copyright by W It would be a difficult matter to say just what started the argument between Alice Ray and her fiance Roland Everett They simply differed on a point of view and as both were neither cared to admit being in fault “You are absurd Roland” said the “Just because I don’t girl petulantly agree with you I’m to be accused of If anyone selfishness and obstinacy is obstinate it certainly is yourself” “Very likely” responded her lover dryly “Perhaps we’d better not talk of the matter any more” The two young people were seated on the veranda of a country house charmingly embowered in creeping vines and commanding a wide view of the Hudson river and the mighty hills through which it winds The summer air was full of the fragrance of hay and the drowsy murmur of insects lulled the ear while ever and anon a thrush by the brook rippled into mellow song Everything spoke of peace except the two in whose hearts by right the perfecting glory of love should have given the culminating touch for they were engaged Yet it so happened that a dispute trifling in itself had become magnified and embittered after the sad human way until both the man and girl were In a state where any moment plight bring forth Borne act or word which the rest of their Aftlives would be spent regretting er Roland’s last remark there was silence for several minutes He leaned back in his chair and looked grimly down at the river While Alice having turned from him with a swift movement stared nervously across the hills and blinked the tears from her eyes When she spoke it was with a measured coldness which hid the hurried beating of her heart “If we have only been engaged a week and have already found a topic on which we must be silent for fear of quarreling I think there surely must be something wrong” “If you can say such a thing as that Alice there Burely is" replied her lover hoarsely “Then — then — there’s nothing to do but — She stopped abruptly and glanced at Roland But he still stared New Haven Conn— The experiments which have been carried on for a year by Dr William O Anderson director of the Yale gymnasium prove that there is a new field for the use of oxygen in relieving heart and lung distress in physical exertion according to the report Dr Anderson has just made public The report is divided into two parts One relates to the extensive experiments performed on Yale athletes More than 600 were examined and the effects of oxygen on their hearts was studied This report is now in the hands of Prof Russell H Chittenden director of the Sheffield scientific school and will not be published in details for several weeks Its conclusions are not so decisive as those from the experiments made on athletes in mountain climbing The series is detailed in the story of the ascent of the three Mexican volcanic mountains — Orizaba 17879 feet in height: Popocatapetl 17784 feet and Ixtacchuitl 17476 feet Eleven persons took part in the trip which' was made in the last Christmas vacation Joel Ellis Fisher Jr of New York city a Yale student Use was financed the undertaking made of oxygen during the ascent and so it signally relieved the distress that the climb was made with much greater ease than would have otherwise been possible Two sets of experiments were made in the use of oxygen during athletic contests The contests were held first at the “Huts of Pallegallinas” about 12000 feet above the surface of the sea and then at the “Caves of Cholula” 13400 feet above the sea In the first contest it was not deemed advisable to try anything more strenuous than the dash although the athletes upon whom the tests were made wore the heavy uniform of a of the tests Dr a result traveler As Anderson reports: have no hesitation in saying that the

What was the matter with us? You know I lore you Roland — yes and I khow you love me And yet — if we hpd hated each other we couldn’t have been more cruel Can’t a love like ours cast nut misunderstanding and vanity and selfishness? I would ’die gladly if my death could save him from pain And yet I could not yield a worthless point to him— to him who is worth more than the whole world to me We did not mean what we said — and yet Kre have given each other a deadly wound — have insulted our love — have trampled a holy thing in the dust" The hours slipped by and at last Alice aroused herself She sat up feeling absently at the fourth finger of her left hand She started as she realized what she was looking for “Even my finger misses him" she whispered with a pitiful smile Behind the house a narrow winding path made its way between the apple trees and past a yellow field of rye through a green wood and over a brook by a rustic bridge Beyond that point it wandered on with many a lovely turn giving now and again an enchanting glimpse of the great river until a mile or more farther it joined the highway It had been the custom of the lovers to meet at the little bridge every evening and then to saunter along the path and home by a short cut across the golf links Alice knew that the hour when she trysting generally started for the place was at hand knew hesitated and finally arose “He won’t be there she murmured “and I think my heart will break but I will go— I cannot stay away’” The shadows were long under the apple trees as she walked out and the robins fluted joyously The evening seemed too lovely to belong to earth Meant for heaven it had somehow lost its way and dropped by a A fortunate chance on our world Alice moved slowly along the fragrant path seeing in the sky the wonderful ever changing shades of rose and green and purple hearing music from a hundred happy birds breathing the balmy air an indescribable peace entered her troubled heart What though anger and misunderstanding lay behind? She knew it was all right now Roland would be wailing for her wait ing with a look of perfect comprehension and she would not even need to speak But speak she would and at she never had before — to tell him how deep how great her love was and that never more should a shadow darken it Never never! The birds sang always more sweetly and the wind among the branches made tender harmonies that chimed with the love in her heart And now she passed the yellow grain and now entered the woods and there indeed midway on the bridge where the sun sent a mellow gleam through the overarching branches stood her lover awaiting her A wave of happiness surged over her taking her breath for an instant She stopped and then ran forward with hands outstretched calling In a voice low but of piercing tenderness: I knew that I Bhould “My dearest find you — I knew you would be here If you had not I think I should hav died” in a moment they were in eack other’s arms and at his kiss the last faint doubt or lingering veil of bitterness if any there was passed utterly out of Alice’s heart and it seemed to her that in that instant foi the first time she knew happiness-supre- me divine “Have you waited long Roland?’ she asked “Not long dear" “And you forgive me?” “The fault was as much mine at yours Alice” he whispered “And after all there is nothing real except our love” With their arms about each othei they sauntered on down the path Th dying radiance of the sun made s glory about them the trees whispered and swayed over their heads and II seemed to Alice as though she scarce ly touched the ground What indeed was real beside their love? These lovely things about her—these singing birds and fragrant flowers and mur muring leaves — they were only a sorl of picture a reflection of the happi ness in her heart As long as thk beautiful happiness lasted— and she felt as though' it could never end— sc too would this delightful bios long soming world surround them It musl always be glorious summer where two were I they ' |
