the Tale
By
MITCHEL
:
:
. i
Harry Spangler, a light hearted young
man of twenty, opened the front door
and went out for a walk. He waa Im
maculately clad —a silk hat, a light
spring overcoat, gloved and carried a
cane. There la always a weak spot
somewhere about us, and the weak
spot in Mr. Spangler'S attire Was Ofie
frayed shoestring. He had not gone
far before it waa dangling under his
heels. He stopped near a atone stoop
and, putting his foot upon l lower
step, was abont to tie it when he
discovered that it was broken. Not
only was it broken, bnt broken in the
middle, and in order to right It he must
take it out, readjust one half of it and
throw the other half away.
To do this necessitated sitting down
on the stone step and taking off his
shoe. Looking about him to see that
no one was near to see him In such an
undignified position be dusted off the
step with his snow white handkerchief,
seated himself and went to work. Hav
ing withdrawn the string in endeavor
ing to get it back in place be discover
ed that the metal tip had been flattened
and would not go into the holes. The
cut end would not io In without the
skill of a needie threader. He suc
ceeded, howevet. In doing the Job
when be discovered that the string
could not be tied, one end being made
aborter than tha other.
Mr. Hpangler was sitting there look
ing st the shoe when along came s
young lady s couple of yesra his Junior,
dressed aa immaculately as be and
withal very pretty She endeavored
to repreaa a smile nt the situation
which she took In at once, then In the
kindness of her heart began to feel
over her corsage her shoulders, for
something with which to replace the
broken string Finding a narrow rib
lion she detached It and handed It to
the handlcaiqied roan, but the look of
despair In his fa-w at being able to In
trodine It Into bis sb>>e so affected her
that, taking off her glovaa, she Intro
dored the ribbon with her owm deft
lingers Harry put <>n the shoe, tied
the ends of the ribbon, then rial tic

imdl'eri tteforw the glaaa and the girl
who bad encored him paMed ->n Ml
that was left of her was a blue rlhltou
a quarter of an Inch wide and about
si i teen tnrbea long
When Spangler returned to hla home
he took the ribbon out of hla shoe,
smoothed out the kinks and contem
plated tt aa a rained memento ot dm

"n*ted and wboee Augers bad placed ft

again
Mr Hpangh-rs mind was riot so full
"f irij|N>rt M,t »ubj«*. ta hut thit there

S[>angler never went out on to the
street without wearing the rlbls*n tied
In a butterfly knot in bis buttonhole
Several months passed without his
meeMtig tlie donor again, when one
day. turning a corner, he came sudden
ly upon her She paused him without
any sign of recognition whatever,
though he caught her gaze momentari
ly fastened on the riblxm in his but
tonhole. Notwithstanding that it would
not have been etiquette for her to no
tice a stranger, even though she had
succored him In distress, he felt hurt
that she had not shown some evidence
of having met him before. Bat she
passed on in among the throng, and he
did not know that he should ever meet
her again.
But. hopeful, he continued to wear
the ribbon. Every day for a year he
turned the corner where he had met
her, fancying that she might have oc
casion at times to pass that way; yet
saw her there no more. But one gala
day while standing on a curb where n
crowd had gathered to see a procession
pass he turned, and there in a window
with others was the girl w’ho was
haunting him. He stood looking up at
her for some time, but w’hether she
saw him or whether she was ignorant
of his presence he could not tell. At
any rate, she ignored him. Loath as
he was to leave her without learning
something by which he might trace
her. he felt obliged to move on lest she
consider his stare an impertinence.
Spangler felt that the girl had an ad
vantage over him and wag holding on
to it. A man who wishes the acquaint
ance of a lady must And the means for
an introduction. There ia among re
fined women that gateway which most
be passed before the two can have
anything U common. If the lady la
inch was tha praaant caaa. Spang
ler, could ha have laamad who the lady
waa or w^ra aha lived, would have
moved heaven afed fiirth to find a mu
tual friend to Introface him.' Bnt ha
■jfcoalt sot attach hlfiaiV loag eaoogh
to her to gat say Information about.
£er. Once while chatting with a friend
on tha street she passed him, and he
asked the friend if he knew her. Had
the reply been definitely in the nega
tive Sptfngler would have accepted the
Inevitable. It la not the inevitable that
troubles us; we recover from tt very
soon. It Is the might have been—the
slip ’twixt the cup and the lip. Spang
ler’s companion gave him excruciating
agony by saying that he had met the
lady, but for hla Ufa he could not tell
when or where, what waa her name or
where she lived.
‘Think,•' said Spangler.
Hla friend thought, but with no re
sult
“You’re stupid as an owl,’’ snapped
Spangler. “If I bad met a girl any
where I would surely be able to recall
something by which she might be iden
tified.”
It seemed as if fate were determined
to tantalise Spangler. He saw the girl
he wished to know on a trolley car.
He tried to board the car. but It was
going at a breakneck speed. One day
he waa sitting In a railway car, Just
leaving a station, when an incoming
train passed him. At a window he
saw her Just long enough for her to
lower her eyea from his to the ribbon
in bl» buttonhole. Then again she was
gone. On another occasion, while on a
ferryboat, he saw her standing on the
deck of another boat going the other
way. Yet never In any of these meet
lugs did she show the slightest recog
nttiou of ever having seen him before.
Spangler had a bosom friend, to
whom he told hi* story, mentioning
the fset that, though the girl on pass
ing him never failed to cast a momen
tary glance on the tilriion in his but
tonhole, the also failed to show the
slightest recognition of him, not even
permitting herself an amused amlls.
“I'll tell you wbat you do." said his
companion ‘The next time you paaa
her pull llie riblion from your Putton
bole and wave It about your bead
ecstatically Try her on that, and If
It doeeti t break the Ice the next lime
kiss It and weep over It.'
K(angler waa muck comforted by thla
Idea. hut. lo'erllke. he deeitatred of
ever meeting the girl again. And be
didn't-that tm. be didu l paaa her ou
the strrot or In a railroad car or an
autotuobtie But fate waa waiting to
give him a far better opportunity than
any of tbeae (>ne evening, bring In

her face wa» aa i.upaaal'e as a marble

"111 break through that if I have to
disgrace myaelf to do it," said Spau
gler And. going luto the gentlemen a
dressing room, he took the string from
one of hla low patent leather shoes
and tied the rlbl»>n In It In a butterfly
knot of great Umny. On re-entering
the ball he found the revelers forming
for a square dunce Finding hla part
uer. he led her to the set in which the
girl whose attention he wished to at
tract had taken position and establish
ed himself as her vis a-vls. She ignor
ed him as completely as ever. While
standing still bis trousers covered bis
blue ribbon shoestring.
The music struck up. and the head
couples moved forward and back.
Spangler on advancing raised his be*
ribboned foot and evrtrog It in grace'
ful curves. Tbe young lady opposite
stood her ground, but tbe rigidity of
ber face showed signs of giving way.
Aa Spangler receded he left the dec
orated shoe as far forward as possible.
On turning corners he bald it high,
hopping around on the other foot
Tbe goal was won! The lady who
had furnished the ribbon and laced
his shoe burst Into laughter.
There were more explosions during
the dance, and when it was finished
and Spangler led his partner to a seat
near that of the girl whose reserve he
had conquered the latter gave him a
smile that said plainly, “Come and
speak to me.” He approaehed*'Saylng,
“I beg of you to suggest some one te
introdnee me.” To which she replied
“A man needs no introduction to a
girl who has tied hla ahoe,” and
straightway made room for him be
side her.
Spangler in telliftg the story, which
he does on every possible occasion, al
ways ends with the words, “It Jkn’t
much of a yarn, but It illustrates what
obstinate creatures girls are.” Where
upon his wife adds: “Girls are queer,
1 suppose, and I daresay I waa at that
time aa singular ns the rest of them.
I admit I greatly enjoyed throwing
Harry off. tet when te did the shoe
