The Arkansaw traveler., 1885-02-28

"No. Yes. will write you."
 George saw tear glisten on her fars over the roses.
 "I have offended you ?" he said.
 You have made me happier than have been for years, and more wretched than ever dreamed could be-" Sob.
 "Do you hate me ?" "I cannot-if could would"
 "ls there no way can serve you ? Can do nothing for you2 Let me give you something's tri6e if you will have no more-anything, so you will Yemem- Der this walk"
 They stood at the mvment before the window of Mime. Foulard, the well known milliner. With mans happy sense of the fitness of things George directed her attention to the georgeous array within. "ls there not something that may give you" said he.
 The Yelled ceased to sob, and ex- amined the bewildering array of eastern hats, glorious, dazzling, sublimel
 "You will think me very strange-ycu may buy that hat for me if you choose, :" said the Yelled, with the delicious laugh of the Vienna Bakery. "At all events Pm not menotonous-from inconsolable misery to an Easter hat and laughter in twenty seconosW
 George felt an indiscribable relief. They entered the shop, and made the purchase.
 "Vare sail ze good to be sent?' asked the milliner's assistant. will call," said the Yelled.
 "Ze name eef you please" "Easter Hat"
 As soon as George and the Yelled were on the pavement she said, "Give me an address-and do not try to reach me with personal. When l wish to see you will write you. It will be soon." George presented card, and she con- tinued, "I have not an instant to lose. Let us go to the L. station, down town side"
 They crossed Sixth avenue, ascended the steps and reached the platform just as the train stopped.
 Good bye," said the Veil>d.
 "Will you not take the train?"
 "No. You take it. Goodbye"
 George stepped aboard the train the gateman slammed the gate. Looking back George saw the Yelled standing on the platform, gazing after him. "She made sure should not follow her." said he to himself
 George left the train at Rector street, and sent message to his home, saying that business detained him, and he should be up late.
 He lighted cigar and walked medi- tatively down Fulton street, and finally stepped on the sidewalk in front of Sweets, and stood there, idly listening to the talk of group of sea captains. He did not teel ID the least like eating, but he crossed over to Dorlon's and had a few oysters on the shell. Then he walked up town, and killed the evening in min strel theater. 1t was II3o when he reached home. Eva was sleeping. George did not wake her, but it was lon before slumber closed his eyelids.
 The next day, and the next, passed without incident The market still went Mir Browns way.
 The first mail on the third day brought note which read:
 "Sameness;
 Same, to-day,
 Sameness.n
 Precisely at g. m. George and the Yelled met at the door of the Vienna bakery. They found the table next the window in the first upper room vacant. They took seats side by side, facing the street. There were ten roses in the paper this time. The Yelled buried her face in the glowing petals and inhaled their voluptuous perfume. "Thank you for these" said she. "Thank you for having confidence enough in me to give me your real name and address"
 (" would trust you with my life," said George.
 am glad to meet you in such humor, for wish you to make me many prom ises today. But first order rolls and coffee. have walked, and am hungry. Why do you not compliment my new hat?"
 "lt must be charming or you would not wear it," said George.
 You never saw it previously"
 think not"
 70 men! It is fortunate that we women notice each others things-life wouldn't be worth the trouble of dress ing if we didn't. It is the hat you bought for me-"
 " fancied there was something famil- far"
 "Mr. Brown" said the Yelled with in- tense gravity, "let there be truth between us, always. Now what did you fancy had something familiar about it ?"
 "Your Veil," said George. "It is far more familiar than wish it was-can not pe;suade you to raise it for one little minutep
 The waiter came and went, leaving the wicker basket of rolls, the coffee, the milk, sugar. butter, and plates. When he was gone. the Yelled said, First, about the roses. They cost you ten dol lars"
 "No, only eight"
 "Very well. They are beautiful. Il adore them for themselves, and love them for the giver's sake. But you must buy me nothing henceforth that l do not ask for. Promise"
 "I promise"
 "Upon your sacred honor"
 "Upon my sacred honor."
