One pleasant afternoon he received a note saying: "Dear Major, When my father made me marry I swore to remember you. I am now free again and will call to see you. -Marie" An old love dream was revived and once more the Major saw his first sweetheart of eighteen. He sends a telegram and at once sets out to visit the home of his former loved one. He has grown stout and there is little hair remaining on his head, but he dons his uniform and sallies forth to renew his old friendship. He calls at the club and confides in Adjutant Biff and then sets forth on his journey. At Marie's home the mistress had caused herself to be dressed after the fashion of the forties, and her daughter Margerita was amused beyond limit. When the Major arrived at the house he espied Margerita on one of the upper balconies and, forgetting the lapse of time, mused "Marie is as beautiful as ever." It took some time to convince the old fellow of his mistake, but Margerita's fiance soon convinces him. Then Marie appears on the scene and he becomes completely disillusioned. He was taken aback at her faded beauty, and after he had left the house without saying farewell, Marie in turn finds him asleep in the railway waiting room, and decides that he is not the hero she pictured him in her girlhood days.
