HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1920-8-5, Page 2The Temporary Gentleman By CORA LINDA, There vas a flush of annoyance ea Sadi Merchant's pretty face. Sadi was twenty; at eighteen she hod married Colonel Marchant, V,C. • Will Marchant was now back in his oldjob,-a clerk in a railway booking - office. The glamor of khaki was gone; stern•'1•ealily, the pinching and scrap- ing of everyday life, had taken the place of dream fancies, Yet Sadi had told herself, as she went about her work in the tiny, shab- by flat, that she had married Will the roan, not the distinguished colonel on whose breast had been pinned the coveted decoration that lifts a elan above his fellows. But Sadi at twenty was no phile osopher; she had never realized that the grit that had made a private into a leader of men would be the stumbl- ing -block between her and happiness. Sadi had "People with a cap.tal P. Wdli had a galaxy of undesirable re- lations. Sadi's uncle was a power on the Stock Exchange; he eould have "done things" for Will, But Uncle Peter was a snob, and he never forgot to make it cleat' that Will was not one of "Us." Will bad chosen to go back to the booking -office rather than beccrne a scarcely -tolerated hanger-on to Sadi's "People," Sndi tapped her small foot impa- tiently. She had hoped so nisch of this little dinner to -night at the Savoy with her; parents, who had ignored their exis- tenee lately. She 1 ad contrived, with much thought and t_ouble, a charming i evening frock out of two old ones.1 Now it looked as if it would be all! wasted. The hands of the clock point- ed to a quarter to eisht; at eight they were due in the lounge of the Savoy —and Will wasn't home; he would never have time to drama and get there. Dad hated unpunctuality. A keyturned in the lock of the front • door, and at the sound Sadi's big blue eyes flashed angrily. She would just let Will understand, that she wouldn't tolerate having all her arrangements upset in this cavalier fashion. The clock struck eight as Will Mar- chant entered the roost. There were lines of fatigue on les handsome, clever face; more than physical weari- ' nese in his grey eye_. Sadi sprang to hos feet, but when 'she Icoked at him the angry weeds died in her throat, a sudden parlor sweeping' away the flush that a mo- ment ago had dyed her skin. Time man dropped heavily into a chair, and his wife lame swiftly to his side. What is it, Will?" the breathed. He reached up and tock her hand in his big strong ones, "The end, little girl," he said, slowly. She fell to her knees, trembling. "What do you mean?" she demand- edl and there was a shrill note in her' vc: ce. 1 It means, dear, that Ism going to lift a burden from those little shoul- ders of yours, that. I have written `Failure' across the page, and now I'm n turning. over and beginning a fresh leaf." He found it hard to tell her— this girl whom he loved as only strong d men have the power to love.

I am going at once to my parents. No doubt you will be glad to be relieved of my presence." Merchant didn't speak; something stuck in his throat. She crossed the floor and held out her hand, "Good-bye, and good luck ,en the new country," she said, coolly. Still the man remained silent; he felt stupid, dazed. She laughed; it rang through the room—the knell of all that was good and beautiful, the knell of dead hopes. The man shivered as the door closed behind her. x * * * s The great liner churned through the waters. Wrapped in a mantle of grey hist was the coast cf old England. Marchant had not seen his wife after that fateful interview in the flat; her mother had told him that it was. best so—that partings were un- settling affairs. And so he started on that journey across the sea. He never knew that on the quayside stood a girl who a few' minutes before had made a frantic, unavailing 'effort to force her way on to the ship. But she was too late, and so she stared with tortured eyes at time grey seething waters that lay between. Thus the tragedy of pride was com- plete. t The Worth of the Wilderness. It was tiro fifth reunion of the col- a class, and two of the men were calling cn their old professor of philos- ophy. The conversation drifted to the different men .in the class and their success since graduation. "And diel you notice in the papers this morning, professor, about Kelton's appointment to the presidency of the Brown & Brown Co? Pretty flue hon- or for so young a man, don't you think?" "Yes," replied the professor, "but I'm afraid a little too easy an honor for him:" "Don't you think he can hold down the job?" said the other in anxious haste. "I have no doubt about that. "I'm afraid that he w111 hold it down, and be content to oto so. I don't like to see things come so easily to so young a man. I'd rather have seen him weather for ten years or more. He's capable of bigger things than this, You remember how the Bible puts it about the Jews: `God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, though that was near.' He made them take forty years for a trip that was no more than four hundred miles in a bee line. Ho wanted to toughen them by hardships before Ho brought them in- to the land of luxury. Once in the wilderness He let them feed on (nails, and many of them gorged themselves to death, ' They weren't ready for a Quail diet.

He had not prospered, but it was early to say whether Fate intended to make or break him for the second time. Ho held a letter in his hand, and a grim smile played ab the corners of his mouth. The letter contained the news that an uncle, whose existence he tad forgotten, had died and left him a fortune, e After all, he needn't toll in the backwoods to "make good"; he was a tan of wealth now. Sadi's people would probably receive him with open rms, because a marl whom Wi11 could imly remember serving behind the punter of general store ]tad appointed -him hie „heir. On top of these thoughts came an- other':• Why should he return to 1,h:g- land? Who wanted him over there? Why not remain where he was? Try and kill the pain in his heart by work! "No, I won't go back!" he said, fiercely. "Let someone who wants it have Uncle Bert's money. -Money's a curse; I won't claim it" That night Will. Marchant dreamed 1 f Sadi; she stood by his bedside, her rms were stretched out to him, her reat eyes were filled with pleading e. So real was it that he started up in ed.
