THE LADY
OFTHE CARDS
FLORA A. MONTY
(0, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
A look of quickening interest bright
ened the middle-aged face of Andrew
Graves as a long gray envelope slipped
from the pile of litters through which
he was glancing.
He tore It open eagerly and drew
out a card on which was a water-color
sketch of a woman's head. The faint
est odor of apple blossoms clung to
the interesting trifle.
Graves studied It intently. It was the
fifth he had received that week. Be
ginning Monday morning, one had ar
rived each day In the first pile of mail
brought to his desk. When the first
one came he had been but slightly con
cerned. The second made him curious.
and the third had aroused a deep de
sire to learn their source. The face
appealed to him, rousing vaguely some
dormant and disconnected memories
of his youth.
Opening a drawer in his desk, he
took out the ones he had received
earlier in the week. Spreading the
cards in a row, he made them the ob
jects of his most attentive considera
tion. The same face was sketched on
all, but each represented a different
expression and pose. No word of any
kind accompanied them.
lie settled back in his chair and sat
in quiet thought for some moments.
The Derfume rising to him recalled the
You Have Come."
.early days of his boyhood, the hap
plest of which were spent In the old
orchard at springtime, when the trees
were laden with the fragrant pink and
white blossoms. And always the lady
of the cards seemed to be with him,
romping with the group of children
who were his companions.
His usually disciplined mind revolt
ed from its training many times
throughout the day, and the hour of
closing found him p~oring over the mays
terious pictures once again.
lie finally glanced toward the win
dow and the evidence of comning twi
light swept away his direamls and re
minded him of things to be done be
fore he could keep a dinner engage
ment that night, lie reluctantly atrose,
rephied~ the cards in 1-he envejopes
and laid themi carefully away in the
dralwp)r, thien hurriedly left the of1ice.
Throughout the evening he had a
sense of disappointmnent. It was as if
he had been very near a pleasant (11s
covery and had been suddenly drawm
b~ack.
Before he left his hostess said:l "I
h~ad hioped to have you meet an artist
this evening, Mr. Graves. She~ is an
unusually clever woman. At the last
moment she wvas detained."
Andrew~ Graves frowned.
"Perhaps I am fortunate, A.frs. Bow
era. Ileatly, sInce my ruyv liem" is in
process of building, I've beer' steredl
at all times of the day and .;ght by
artlsjs who want to (do the decoratIons
for that Ameriean room of mine. I've
taken to refusing to see any of them.
I'll look up my own," and~ he turned
abruptly away.
As hIs car was speed(ing hiomeward
there flashed into his mindl an ideca,
preposterous, perhaps, but insistent. It
connected the card~s in the gray en
velopes with the artist who had failed
to app~ear. H~e leaned forward, halt
yielding to an impulse to go back and
demand her name from Mrs. Blowers.
Then lhe decided to go on home, secret
ly ashamed of himself for allowing his
head to ho turned by a pretty picture.
But the idea remained and kept first
place in his thoughts, with the result
-that Saturday morning found hinm at
his dlesk a full hour earlier than he
had been for years. Impatiently he
ran over his letters. No gray en
velope wvas there I lie was chagrined.
To have gone so far out of his usual
routine as to get down at that hour
and then be fooled I Ue looked his
mall over again, but with the. same
result.
The morning was full of trouble for
all the force of emiployees. Nothing
suited,. and Tommy, the offico boy,
dropped his jaunty bearing whenever
he carried a eardh to his employer.
The tenth caller had been turned
away despite the urgency of lils er

sanctum,. Graves looked up angelily.

uuddenly stOpped as his eyes noted the
gray envelope the boy carried. "Where
did you get that?" he demanded.
"Lady outside, sir, sent it in."
"A lady1 S md her in at once."
Ile opened the envelope the boy
handed him. The same face was on
the card it en:losed, but somehow the
expression wa j almost triumphant.
As he stud(i d it the caller entered,
and lie started to his feet. le stared,
but justifiably, for there was the lady
of the cards, and the scent of apple
blossoms was filling the room. She
was tall and slender, and wore a gown
of sivery gray. There was a touch of
pink about it that matched the bloom
of her cheeks.
"You have come," he said simply. "I
felt that you must."
"Then the adverisement was suc
cessful?" A rhomentary gleam of
mirth sparkled in the brown eyes.
"The advertisement? Oh, the gray
envelopes-the cards? What do they
mean? But he seated, please. I am
rude." le was plainly bewildered.
"I am an artist, Air. Graves. I liave
attempted to see you before, but you
were never at leisure, so I adopted
the card method of getting you ac
qualnted with my work. I hoped I
might secure an interview that way."
"You are wonderfully clever," he
said slowly, in undisguised admiration.
"You have gained your purpose. I
shall be glad to give you a commis
sion."
The lady in gray said nothing, but
her smile took him back to the days
of his boyhood.
"I want some landscapes, not in oil,
but in your charming water colors. I
want thema to embody certain things."
And in a softened voice he described
his old home, the apple orchard and
the spring by the roadside. "I do not
expect them to be absolutely true to
life as it was then. But it was my
childhood home. Let your work be a
type. Do with them as you like.
Somehow I feel sure you can make
exactly what I want."
"Thank you, Mr. Graves. I shall not
disappoint you." And she was gone
before he realized that he did not
know her name or place of residence.
The next month was interminably
long. There was no word from his
artist, nor could he learn one thtng
about her. Mrs. Rowers, though be
sieged with Inquiries, refused an an
swer.
At last, one day, another gray en
velope caine in the mail, and the hands
that opened it trembled in their eager
ness. Another card was in it, this time
of a little girl of fourteen, with big
brown eyes and waving hair. With a
throb lie recognized her as the little
playmate of his early days who had
always been with him in the orchard.
just heneath the picture was writ
ten, "Call at it Grey terrace."
Exactly thirty minutes lIter Andrew
Graves was ringing the bell at 11 Grey
terrace. No one was in the room
where he was shown to wait, but, hung
against one wvall were half a dozen
daintily executed sketches of his old
farm home, clear and true as the hand
of mortal could make.
Hungrily he gated at them, and
then turned to find the artist at his
side. Without a word he took her in
his arms and kissed her. She made
no effort to release herself.
"Marts, I know you now I My little
girl sweetheart I My sweetheart for
.ever I Will you comte to me when the
apple blossoms are here again?"
And she said that she would.
Weathercock Long in Use.
Weathercocks seem to date from
early times. According to Duncange,
the cock was originally devised as an
emblem of clerical viglance. The
large tail of the cock was adapted to
turn with the wind.
Many churches have for a vane the
emblem of the saints to wvhom them
are dledientedl. St. Peter's. Cornhill,
Londlon, is surmounted with a key.
St. Peter having the keys of heaven
and~ hell.
St. Laurence has for a vane a grid
iron, and St. Laurence at Norwich has
the gridiront with the holy martyr ex
tended upon the bars. A gilt ship in
full sail is the vaune upon St. Miilred's
church in the P'oultry.
St. Michatel's, Queenshithe, has a
ship, the hull of which will hold a
bushel of grain, referring to the for
mer traille in corn at the hithe.
Many Holidays In December.
December, taking the world over, is
a month of bank and'( pubtllic holidays.
No less than 20 of the 31 day13s of the
month are recognized somewhere as
occasions for church fetes or cessa
tion of husiness in celebration of lo.
cal or national events.
Christmas, of course, is more wide
ly observed as a holidaly than any oth
er, but even it is not recogniz~ed every
where. Non-Christlan peoples pay no
attention to it, and in countries where
the Greek Catholic church prevails,
the old1 style Jlulian calendnir is used,
so that, while Christmas is nserved
as a church fesival, it comes about
two weeks iater tihan in countries that
use the Gregorian calendar.
The Ombu Tree.
The ombu tree on the South Ameri
can pampas, says W. Hi. Hudson In
F'ar Away amid Long Ago, is a very
singular tree, indeed, andl being the
only representative of tree vegetation
natural to the soil, on these level
plains, and having also manty curious
superstltions connected wvitht it, it la~ a
romance in itself. It belongs to the
rare P'hytolacca famly, and has an Im
mnense girth-forty or fifty feet in some
cases; at the same time the wood is so
soft and tponigy that It can be0 cut into
wvith a knife, and is utterly unfit for
firewc.od, for when cut it refuses to
dry, but simply rota away like a ripe
wktermalon.
