j THE OLD : j BOOKKEEPER\ When I tell you, my only friend, i0 whom I CO rarely write and vhora I more rarely see, that my lonely life bas not been without love for woman, you will perhaps laugh or doubt. "Whatl" you will say. "That .-aunt old specter in his, attic, with fiis books, his ;obacco anti his three flowerpots? He would ?nos know that there is mch a word as love did he not encounter it now and then in bis reading." True, I have divided my days be tween thc bo?ks in a rich man's cou riling room and those in my at tic. True, again,-1 have never been more than merely passable to look a: even in my best days. Yet I have loved a '.roman. During the five years when my elder brother lay in tho hospital across thc river, where he died, it B was my custom to visit him every Sunday. I enjoyed the afternoon ? walk to thc suburbs, where the air has more of nature in it, especially H t?m portion of the walk which lay Bj upon the bridge! More life than was usual upon the bridge moved ? there on Sunday^. Then the cars H were crowded with people seeking St t)K. parks. Many crossed on foot, B stopping to look idly down at tho dark and sluggish water. One afternoon as I stood thus H leaning over the parapet the sound of a woman's gentle laugh caused I me to turn and ocularly inquire its source. The woman and a man were approaching. At the side of the woman walked soberly a hand some dog, a collie. There was that H iu their appearance and manner B which plainly told me that liere I were husband and" wife of the mid dle class, intelligent, but poor, out I for a stroll. That they were quite devoted to each other was easily dis ? coverable. The man looked about thirty years of age, was tall, slender and I witli neither strong nor handsome, but amiable, face. He was doubt less a clerk fit to be something bet The woman was pei haps twenty 8 four. She was not quite beautiful, B yet she was more than pretty. She B was of good size and figure, and the B short plush coat that she wore and the manner in which she kept her B hands thrust in the pockets thereof B gave to her a dauntless air which B the quiet and affectionate expres E? sion of her face softened. She was a brunette, her eye?? be ra ing large and distinctly dark brown, her face having that peculiar com plexion which is most quickly af fected by any chang? in health. The color of her cheeks, the dark I rim under her eyes and other inde ? finable signs indicated some radical H ailment. In. the quick- glance, that I had of that pair while the woman was smiling a feeling of pity came H over me. I have never detected the exact cause of that emotion. Per haps in the woman's face I read the trace of past bodily and mental suf gg fering, perhaps a subtle murk thai dj death had already Bet there. Neither the woman nor her hus band noticed me as they passed The dog regarded me cautiously B with the corner of his eye. I prob B ably would never* have thought ol the three again had I not seen then: S upon the bridge under exactly" thc same circumstances on the next B Sunday. So these young and then happ] people walked here every Sunday, J thought. This perhaps was an evenl B looked forward to throughout th< H week. The husband doubtless wai kept a prisoner and slave at his desi from Monday morning until Satur day night, with respite only for eat lng and sleeping. Such cases ar< B common even with people who cai think and who have some taste fo: luxury and who are not devoid ?: love for the beautiful. The sight of happiness which ex n i8ts despite the cruelty of fate am man and which is tempoiftrily un conscious of its own liability to in ? terruption and extinction invaria g Wy fills me with sa/ ?esB. And th m ?adness which arose at the contem plation of these two beings begot ii jne a^ strong? sympathy for and in BB -crest in them. mn On Sundays thereafter I would g H early to the bridge and wait unti j they passed, for it proved ?hat thi was their habitual Sunday wa^. ? Sometimes they would pause an B to tll.08e S*2** down *b black river. ? would now and agai ? resumo my journey toward the hoi ? "Prtal while they thus stood, , and fl ?JJ^d.look back from a diatano ? -The bridge would then appear t ? nie an abrupt ascent, rising to th I denso- city, and their two figure ? yould stand out clearly against th ? background. Bj It became a matter of care to rc to observe each Sunday whether tih Bj of either had varied/anrin H the previous week . The husban ag ?fays pale and alight, showed litt ? Jjjaage, and that inf reuuently. Bi ? ye .fluctuations of tho woman as i M <ucatcd by complexion, gait, expre Bl ?on and otherwise were numeroi and pronounced. jDfteu she look ? brighter a?id :aofe robust than < ? ?e preceding Sunday. Her fa? H Jo old be then rounded out, and U H ^ crescenta beneath her ey ? would be les3 marked. Then I Sow ? myself elated. cheeks had receded slightly, trie healthy luster of the eyes had given way to an ominous glow; tho warn ing of death had returned. Then my heurt would sink, and, sighing, I would murmur inaudibly: 'This is one of the baa Sundays." Thero came a time when every Sunday was a bad one. What made mo love this woman? Simply the unmistakable complete ness and constancy of her devotion to her husband, the absorption of the woman in tho wife. Had the Btrange ways of chance ever made known to her my feeling and had she swerved from that devotion even to render me back love for love, then my own adoration for her would surely have departed. Yes, I loved her if to fill ono's life with thoughts of a woman, if in fancy to see her face by day and night, if to have the will to die for her or to bear pain for her-ii these and many more things mean lo .'e. . My richest joy was to see her con tent with ber husband, and tho darkest woe of my life was to antic ipate the termination of their hap piness. . . . - So the Sundays passed. One aft ernoon I waited until almost dusk, yet the couple did not appear. For s?veu Sundays in succession I did not meet them upon their wonted walk. On the eighth Sunday I saw the dog first, then the man. The-latter was looking over the railing. The woman was not with him. Appre hensively I sought with my eyes his face. Much grief and loneliness were depicted there. Was ne or I the greater mourn er, I wonder ? ,1 suppose itwo years'passed after that day ere I again beheld the wid ower^ whose name I do not and probably never shall know, upon the bridge. The dog was not with him this time. It was a fine, sunny afternoon in May. Grief was no longer in his face. By his 6ide was a very pretty, animated, rosy little woman whom I had never seen be fore. They walked close to each other, and she looked with the ut most tenderness into his face. She evidently was not yet entirely ac customed to the wedding ring which I observed upon her finger. I think that tears came to my eyes at this sight. Those great brown eyes, the plush sack, the love ly face that had borne the impress of sorrow and so speedily had felt death-these might never have ex isted so soon had they been forgot ten by the one being in the world for ivhom that face had worn the as pect of a perfect love. Yet one upon whom those eyes never rested has remembered, and surely the memory of her is mine to wed, since he whose right it was to cherish it had allowed himself to be divorced from it in so brief a time. The memory of her is with me al ways, fills my soul, beautifies my life, makes green and radiant this existence which all who know mo think cold, bleak, empty, repellent. . You will not laugh, then, my friend, when I tell you that love is not to me a thing unknown. . * . . . ? . . So runs a part of the last letter to my father that ?he old bookkeep er ever wrote. Largest and Smallest Book. The British museum owns the largest book in the world and the smallest. The largest is an atlas or the fifteenth 'century. It is seven feet high. Between its generous leaves u tall man's head is hidden. Its stout binding and ponderous clasps make it seem as substantial is the walls of a room. The small sst is a tiny "Bijou Almanac"-less than an inch square, bound in dain ty red morocco and easily to be con sealed in tho finger of a lady's glove. These two extremes of tho printer's ire might well stand at the begin ning and the end of the amazing thirty-seven miles of shelves filled with books which make up a part rf the printed treasures of the great English library.
