must have been one of the cheerfullest
creatures in New York. He was excel
lently we'll dressed, was about 50 years of
age, and had evidently passed a good deal
of the summer in the free wind ana hot
sun. He waved hand blithely to soma
male friends standing at the curb, aud
then, with a smile that lighted up his face
like heliogra phic signal. put the same
hand in his pocket and drew out letter.
1t was large and square, and as he
opened it the odor of orris root filled the
car as though some one bad taken out the
stopper of big jar of sachet powder. The
note was evidently not a long one, for he
had read it and torn it into a hundred
pieces while the conductor was ringing his
fare. Then the photographic signal was
cut off, and even the fleeting summers
ruddiness seemed to fade. Every line on
his face that had gone up came down, his
collar grew loose, and his nerveless cuff
slipped down over his hanging hands.
Aud every one in the streetcar knew
that she couldn't or wouldn't.-New York
