This is the story Sam Morrow of
the World told me one morning at a
quarter of four, as we were walking
uptown after having put the paper
to bed. II any other man had told
IL / should have simply said that it
was lie, but as have never known
Sam TO lie about anything 1 give it
for what IL is worth. Bryne, the city
editor, says that 80 far as he knows
il happened just as Sam tells II, and
they say Pemberton does, too, al
though he's working on the New York
Sun now, so can't swear to that.
''When Kitty Andrews said she'd
marry me, ! suppose II made me
about the happiest man in the news
paper business" was the way Sam be-
gan his story. "You fellows who
have always lived with your folks
don't know what II means ~ have
been without anything you might
call a home and to have lived round at
boarding houses and cafes since you
were boy,a as have done. 1t sounds
mighty fine to say you're your own
master and accountable TO no one, but
you get deadly tired of it by the time
you're 80, and you wish TO Heaven
that there was someone for you TO be
accountable to; someone who cared
whether or not you came home at
night and took some interest in you
and what you did. Well, you can
imagine how I felt, then, when / found
out that /, who have no single thing
about me to attract woman, had won
the heart Of the dearest little girl in
tie world.
ut was two nights after she told
me that I was sitting in the Office,
waiting with the philosophical content
of man on call for something to turn
up. / had the last call, from to 3,
and ordinarily / should nave looked
forward with anything but pleasure to
such long pull, for it was dull
evening, and there was not thing in
sight which would be likely to take
me ont, but that night the time passed
quickly and pleasantly, for I could sit
there and think OF Kitty and wish that
/ were with her. She had been stay
ing with her sister at North Beach
and was to come up that evening.
There was no one to come with her,
but II was only a short distance from
the boat to a car which would take her
home, so / did not worry about her.

0GS00dfyy, ~ that tfme ~ was very
quiet in the big office. OF all the re-
porters there was only one other in
beside myself, and the four rows OF
desks shone closed aud empty in the
bright glare of the electric light. The
only sounds which broke the stiffness
were the mulled conversation in the
CITY editors room and the rattle OF
Pemberton's typewriter as he worked
on story.
THAT was ut 10 o'clock, but the
hour had not more than sounded
when there crept over me most in
describable feeling of terror and
dread. There was no reason for 1t, no
possible explanation Of it, but it came
IN me suddenly, and it grew and
grew until it seemed as though l
should spring out of my chair and
scream aloud. Now, you know me.
You know I've no more nerves than
a craven image, yet there l was with
every nerve in my body quivering
with forebodings and fright without
any apparent cause. l could not sit
still, but got up from my chair and
began pacing up and down the office,
faster and faster. Then the dread
took more definite form, and 1 could
feel that il was some danger to Kitty
that was moving me so; that some
where, and not very far away, she
needed me and needed me fearfully.
/ could almost hear her voice calling
me for aid, and the longing to go to
her, il 1 had only known how or
where, shook me like reed. What
made il worse was that knew she
must be somewhere in the city at that
time, but even knowing this could
not tell where TO go to her and could
not bring myself to leave my post on
mere impulse, 80 matter how strong
il was.
~ paced up and down, up and
down, getting more nervous. and ex

I could feel that / should answer thi'

TEE OLD WAYsTDB INN.


The uouae Made tauOus by LonBtelOW
Sold TO a Boston Man.
If there is no hitch in the papers, the old
waystdo inn at Sudbury, Mass, made fa-
mousby Longfeliow will pass into the own
ership of a Boston gentleman of anti
quarian tastes, who will preserve the build
ing and I'LL it with articles of historic in
tercst. The name of the buyer will not be
given out until the papers have passed.
This estate passed into the hands of ex-
Mayor S. H.. Howe of Marlboro and
ex-Alderman Homer Rogers of Boston in
1898. These two gentlemen have expended
considerable money in renovating the
house and improving it, such as shingling
the roof and retopping the chimneys, which
had been broken in several places. This
work in no way, however, interferes with
its exterior or its historic worth, for Mr..
Rogers told a reporter at his house in Al
lston that he would not have that happen
for thousands, and the work was done for
preservation. When the deed came into
the hands of MIR. Rogers three years ago,
it was the first time it had passed out of
the hands of the Howe family since the
house was originally built, two centuries
since. The building was built shortly aft
err King Philips war, and up to 1898 IT
was known as Howe's tavern. David
Howe built it about the commencement of
the eighteenth century, and in 1909 re-
Ceived from Samuel Howe, bis father, a
tract of 1870 acres of land.
John Howe, the grandfather of David,
had the lot on which the tavern stands as
signed him in the apportionment Of 1861.
In 1746 Colonel Ezekiel Howe, who won
fame in the Revolution, hung out the Red
Horse sign, and when in 1896 the colonel
died Adam, his son, took the tavern, and
for 40 years conducted it as a public house.
Lyman Howe, a brother, took possession
when Adam passed away and continued to
Keep an inn until about 1866. Then its
days of usefulness in this direction ceased.
1t has, however, been open TO the public
for several seasons past. Time and the
storms have dealt lightly with the historic
structure, for the white oak beams are ii
a fine state of preseryatio New York
