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

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

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:

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

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'

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

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.'

Tho Smallest She Had.
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."

" 'Oh, yes!' I groaned in reply. 'I

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.
