Appleton & Co.) yn had found it hard To live as Snobdom's poor re- lation, She schemed to marry Edward Gard, A personage of humble station. A mountain guide's reputed son, Yet worth a million, unencumbered— A giant, crippled simpleton In Adirondack wilds he slumbered. Because he couldn't leave his chair His character was simply fleckless. What made this wreck a millionaire? His father left a priceless necklace. The knot was tied, and off they went, This couple, matched but hardly mated. On distant island shores they spent A year, while Gard was educated. And after that they played a while In London's most exclusive places, Where Gard became the rage and style— He had the handsomest of faces! A siren hung around and talked; And when the cripple, all too zealous To save the minx from danger, walled, Poor Evelyn grew madly jealous. She thought he did not care for her, He thought that she preferred Another ; So you may guess how glad they were To learn that each adored the other. And Gard, the woodsman, proves to be The illegitimate descendant Of some piratic Portugee, Which makes his lineage resplendent. Arthur Guiterman.
