The Gavelyte, April 1911
1()1 l'HE GAV b.:L YT.b.., the horse stepped on a rolling stone and fell, throwing me from the saddle, spraining my ankle and rendering me unconscious. Mr. Hardwick happened to come along in a short time and carried me to my home. I soon regained con– sciousnes , and he showed my mother how to bandage my ankle. He came every day to see how my ankle was improving. We soon became warm friends. He came many times through the winter, but I never told him that I was anything but a little mountain girl, for I was determined that any one who loved me should love my people. He finally secured my parent's consent to our marriage and we were married to-day." "Have you told your husband your story'' asked Mrs. Hildreth. "Not yet, I am going to surprise him when he returns from my errand. I see him coming. Do not give me away,., she replied smiling. Mr. Hardwick passed by the lady on the piazza and went upstairs. After sometime he came down. Mrs. Hildreth having disappeared, he addressed the lady. "Pardon me, but did my wife go out on the street " ''I have been sitting here sometime and have noticed no one pass out on the street," she replied. "She is not in our rooms, and as she is not accustomed to the city, I do not like for her to go out on the street unattended," he explained. "She is from the ' country?" inquired the lady. "Yes from Verm:mt," he replied. "I, too am from Vermont. I graduated from Vassar a year ago," said the lady. "I was married recently, but my h.Bband will n )t ncogniz2 me now." As she said this she lo3ked up with a very sober face, but there was a twinkle in the blue eyes. Mr. Hardwick's heart jumped. Where had he seen those eyes before.? he thought. "You see my wedding ring is almost new," she continued. He. looked down at the ring he had placed on his wife's finger a few hours b2fore. "Is it possible you are the little mountain girl and my wife?" he gr8sped. "Also a Vassar graduate and your wife" she added. The Hit Of The Season ! !
