HE CARRIED A GREEN BAG.
A SKETCH FROM LIFE.
Written for THE MonNrNe CALL

1t was one Of those perfect days that so
often come to California in the latter part
OF March. l had taken little friend out to
the park to enjoy the then novel delights Of
the recently opened playground, and was
resting, seated on a bench in the shade.
while my young charge with troop of other
little folks held high carnival on the merry
go-round.
My thoughts as / sat there were a long
way OF from the children and their play
and absent-mindedly musing l began to
trace letters and figures with the tip OF my
parasol IN the sandy earth at my feet. One
after another had made quite string of
numbers, and was about to erase them with
a stroke of the parasol-tip when some one
touched my arm, and voice said, eagerly
Madam, | beg that you will not disturb
them for one moment. II is Of the
utmost Importance, l assure you" Almost
invoInntarily | desisted and glanced up at
the speaker in considerable surprise, while
he stood eagerly calculating. stopping now
TO look at the numbers in the SAND, then
proceeding with the liveliest appearance of
interest to make various memoranda in a
little book he held in his hand. AS he
stood before me l had plenty of time to take
good look at him. He seemed TO be some
what above go years old, short, rather
thlek-set figure, clad in very lo0se-ftting
suit Of faded blue material. He had a
weather beaten face, a pair of half-shrewd,
half-sanguine looking blue eyes and a
bushy gray beard, which he pulled savagely
now aud then as lie stood botheriDg over
his figures. Dangling by its drawslrings
from one wrist was large bag, made Of
green serge, such as old-faSbiODed lawyers
used to consider indispensable for carrying
their books and papers. After a minute or
two. becoming still further absorbed in his
calculations, he thrust the bag impatiently

learned That none OF his tickets had been

approximation prize. He was cruelty dis

the Tact. His face was drawn and white,
his blue eyes looked dim and faded, and

the shock of his disappointment lad daZed
him, or whether. monentarily desperate, he
was 1nSanely careless, we never shall
know. Before hs could be stopped
he had walked directly in front of cable
car. The bell sounded furiously and the
gripman shouted in his horror. The old
man saw his danger, eSSayed to turn back
and was struck down by passing truck.
The horses Swerved TO one side, but the
massive wheels of the heavy vehicle passed
directly over his body. The truck was
empty or he would have been fatally
crushed at once. AS 1t was he was uncOn-
