J .fflgE^'S Bu Courier By O. HENRY Copyright, 1906, by McCIure, Phillips Q Co. T was neither the season nor the hour when the park had frequenters, and it is likely that the young ludy who was seated on one of the benches at the side of the walk had merely obeyed a suddpn impulse to sit for awhile and enjoy a foretaste of coming spring. A tall young man came striding through the park along the path near which she sat. Behind him tagged a boy carrying a suit case. At sight of the young lady the man's face chang ed to red and back to pale again. He watched her countenance as he drew nearer with hope and anxiety mingled on his own. He passed within n few yards of her, but he saw no evldeuce that she was aware of his presence or existence. Some Sfty yards farther on he sud denly stopped and sat on a bench al one side. The boy dropped the sub >ase and stared at him with wonder ing, shrewd eyes. The young man took out his handkerchief and wiped his brow. It was a good handkerchief, a good brow, and the young (nan was good to look nt. He said to the boy: "I want you to take a message to that youug lady on that bench. Tel! her I am on my way to the station to leave for San Francisco, where I shall join that Alaska moose hunting expe dition. Tell her that since she has commanded me neither to speak nor to write to her I take this means of making one last appeal to her sense of Justice for the sake of what has been. Tell her that to condemn and discard one who has not deserved such treat ment without giving him her reasons or a chance to explain Is contrary' to her nature as I believe it to be. Tell her that I have thus to a certain de gree disobeyed her Injunctions In the hope that she may yet be Inclined to see justice done. Go and tell her that" The young man dropped a half dol lar into the boy's hand. The boy looked at him for a moment with bright, canny eyes out of a dirty, in telligent face and then set off at a run. He approached the lady on the bench a little doubtfully, but unembar rassed. He touched the brim of the old plaid bicycle cap perched on the back of his head. "Lady," he said, "dat gent on de oder bench sent yer a song and dance by me. If yer don't know de guy and he's tryln' to do de Johnny act say de word and I'll call a cop In free mlu utes. If yer does know him and he's on de square, w'y. I'll spiel yer de brfhch of hot air he sent yer." The young lady betrayed a faint in terest. "A song and dance!" she said In a deliberate, sweet voice that seemed to clothe her words In a diaphanous gar ment of impalpable Irony. "A new "Go und tcl! her tlmt." idea?in the troubadour line, I suppose. I?used to know the gentleman who sent you. so I think It will hardly be necessary to call the police. You may execute your song and dance, but do not slug too loudly." "Aw." said the boy. with a shrug down the length of him, "yer know what I mean, lady. 'Tain't a turn; it's wind. He told me to tell yer he's got his collars and cuffs In dat grip for a scoot dean out to Frisco. Den he's goln' to shoot snow birds in the Klon dike. He says yer told him not to send round no more pink notes nor come hangln' over de garden gate, and he takes dls moans of puttln' yer wise.

It stopped the hemorrhages and pain In my lungs and they are now as sound as a bullet." Lowman Drug Co.; A. C. Dukes. to kick at de decision. He says yer swiped him and never said why." The slightly awakened interest in the young lady's eyes did not abate. Perhaps it was caused by either the originality or the audacity of the snow bird hunter in thus circumventing he: express commands against the ordi nary modes of communication. She fixed her eye on a statue standing dis consolate in the disheveled park and spoke into the transmitter: "Tell the gentleman that I need not repeat to him a description of my ideals. He knows what they have been and what they still are. So far ns they touch on this case, absolute loyalty and truth are the ones paramount. Tell him that I have studied ray own heart as well as one can, and I know its weakness as well as 1 do its needs. That is why I decline to hear his pleas, whatever they may be. I did not con demn him through hearsay or doubtful evidence, aud that Is why I made no The tableau was pretty. charge. But since he persists in hear ing what he already well knows you may convey the matter. "Tell him that I entered the conserv atory that evening from the rear to cut a rose for my mother. Tell him I saw him and Miss Ashburton beneath the pink oleander. The tableau was pretty, but the pose and juxtaposition were too eloquent and evident to re quire explanation. I left tbe conserva tory and. at the same time, the rose and my ideal." "I'm shy on one word, lady. Jux? Jux? Put me wise on dat, will yer?" "Juxtaposition, or you may call it propinquity, or, if you like, being rath er too uear for one maintaining the po sition of nn ideal." The gravel spun from beneath the boy's feet. He stood by tbe other bench. The man's eyes interrogated him hungrily. The boy's were shining with the Impersonal zeal of the trans lator. "De lady says dnt she's on to de fact dat gals Is dead easy when a fel ler comes spielin' ghost stories and tryln' to make up and dat's why she won't listen to no soft soap. She says she caught yer dead to rights hucgin' a bunch o' calico in de hothouse. She sidestepped in to. pull some posies, and yer was squeezln' de oder gal to boat de band. She says it looked cute, all right, all right, but it made her sick. She says yer better git busy and make a sneak for de train." The young man gave a low whistle, and his eyes flashed with a sudden thought. His hand flew to the inside pocket of his coat and drew out a handful of letters. Selecting one. he handed it to the boy. following it with a silver dollar from his vest pocket. "Give that letter to the lady." he said, "and ask her to rend it. Tell her that it should explain the situation. Tell her that if she bad mingled n lit tle trust with ber conception of the Ideal much heartache might have been avoided. Tell her that the loy alty she prizes so much has never wavered. Tell her I nm waiting for an answer." The messenger stood before tbe lady. "De gent says he's had de skibunk put on him widonf no cause. He says he's no bum guy. and, lady, yer read dat letter and I'll bet yer he's a white sport, all right." The young lady unfolded the letter somewhat doubtfull}' aud read it: Dear Dr. Arnold?I want to thank you for your most kinel and opportune aid to my daughter last Friday evening when sho was overcome by an attack of her old heart trouble in the conservatory at Mrs. Waldron'8 reception. Had you not been near to catch her as she fell and to render proper attention we might have lost her. 1 should be glad If you Would call and undertako the treatment of her case. Gratefully yours. ROLJEUT ASHUL'RTON. The young lady refolded the letter and handed It to the boy. "De gent wants an answer," said the messenger. "Wot's do word?" The lady's eyes suddenly flashed on him?bright, smiling and wet. "Tell that guy on the other bench." she said, with a happy, tremulous laugh, "that his girl wants him.' A Card.

Mrs. Sharp was a woman with a tongue that did not belie her name. This did not improve her husband. He was going fishing one day. a.id, looking over his outfit, he exclaimed bitterly: "My fishing trousers haven't a single button on them!" "How fortunate!" said his wife. "Now, If you're drowned it will be so easy to Identify your body, won't it. dear?" "No," the husband roared, "for all the other chaps in the crowd are mar ried too!" Forgiveness. My heart was heavy, for Its trust had been Abused, Its kln^.iess answered with foul wrong. So, turning gloomily from my fellov. men. One aummer Sabbath day I strolled among The green mounds of the village burial place. Where, pondering how all human love and bate Find one sad level and hjw, soon or late. Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened face And cold hands folded over a still heart, Pass tho green threshold of our common grave, Whither all footsteps tend, whence none depart, Awed for myself and pitying my race.

A street car conductor one Saturday afternoon had such a good run of busi ness that he had difficulty In keeping himself supplied with small change. Many persons who patronized his car handed him dollars and bills of large denominations in .payment of their fares. The conductor managed to get along fairly well until a woman carrying a tiny infant bearded his ear. When bo approached the woman for hrr fare she handed him a five dollar bill. "Is that the smallest you have, mad am?" queried the conductor, fearing another stringency In change. The woman looked at the conductor and then nt the baby and made this surprising reply: "Yes. I have been married only twelve months." Round Trip Meals. "I never think of the dreadful ocean without being reminded of the re mark that a smnll child of mine made to me on the way out last summer," said a cheerful young matron who had Just returned from abroad. "I was suf fering from one of the most awful Bpells of seasickness. My little daugh ter for three days had seen me lying In my berth, wbjle the stewardess from time to time tempted my reluc tant appetite, I making dutiful efforts to swallow and retain something?any thing to sustain life till I could get off that agitated monster called a 'floating palace.' " 'Mamma,' queried this dnughter of mine after she hnd Just witnessed a particularly harrowing scene, 'do you think you'll ever go back home If you once get on shore again?' " 'Oh, yes!' I groaned in reply. 'I don't believe I would, though, if I didn't have these round trip tickets. Having them, I've simply got to re turn.' "'Round trip tickets!' the child re peated musingly; then, after a mo ment: 'Mamma, I believe that's whul must be the matter with your meals. They all seem to have round trip tick ets too.'" Too Much For tho Frenchman. A story is told of a Frenchman wh'> was very anxious to see an American business man at his home. The first morning when he called nt the house the maid replied to his query: "The master Is not down yet," mean ing downstairs. The following morning he called again and was met with: "The master is not up yet," mean ing that he had not yet arisen from his bed. The Frenchman, looking nt her with doubtful eye, paused for a few sec onds. "Eet is ver' deef'cult, but ecf ze mademoiselle will tell me when 7.e master will be neither up nor down, but In ze middle, zen I vlll call at zat time."?Joe Mitchell Chappie In Na tional Magazine.
