Luck was with me. On the afternoon
OF the fifth day she walked ia and
| made straight for me and said:
"Bub. I'm looking for a man named
Rockaway. I'm his Wife
Have you got business with him? I
asked.
Il have-strict business. Is there
such man in this buildingT'
There is Mr.. Rockaway here, but
be's got side whiskers."
"Oh he has. Well I'll pull 'em of in
three seconds! Take me right up"
took her up. l am nOt/a bad eleva-
tor boy at heart, but a boy in my posi-
ton has got to maintain his dignity
among the tenants. 1 held the elevator
until 1 saw her enter room 6S and
heard the first shock of collision, and
then l had business elsewhere. What
happened after that was told by the
typewriter in Mr.. Rockaway's office.
When the redheaded woman bounced
into the room. she first attacked those
beautiful side whiskers. and they were
wrecked in a breath. Then she started
in TO wreck things, and her language
was English and her tones loud She
had the whole floor alarmed in two
minutes. and the people who rushed in
found the typewriter girl hiding I'M
der the desk and Mr.. Rockaway on the
floor and mixed up with broken furni-
ture 1t was lively while it lasted, and
the redheaded woman had breath
enough left TO explain that the man on
his back was her lawful husband, but
had rrIn away from her in Buffalo
year before. He had nothing TO say in
reply, and when the agent came up and
told him that he had better look Tor
other quarters he prepared 10 move.
/ didn't see him until the remains or
his office furniture had been sent away
Then he rang for me to take him down.
He had not resumed his side whiskers.
There were scratches all over his face
and neck. lump on his jaw, and the
wildness yet fingered in his eyes. l ex-
pected he would threaten or reproach
me, but lie didn't feel at all that way.
On the contrary. there was sadness In
his voice and gentleness in his hand as
he reached out for Il farewell shake
and said:
''Sammis. l cannot blame you. l be-
gan right, but / did not carry ont the
programme. ! started in To be father
TO you and to help lift that gigantic
mortgage, but lAter on | decided that
bluff would be the game To work. You
saw my bluff and went one better. 1t
was you who brought her up
Yes. SIR
And you gave my side whiskers
away"
Yes, sir
well, 1t was my own fault. Office
gone. whiskers gone. typewriter gone

saved my honor. However. here's my

Will be a great moral lesson to me-
That afternoon Mr.. Rasher, the agent,
called me into his Office and said:
''Sammis. has your wounded dignity
been healed:'
Yes, sir
Then don't take any more redhead-
ed women up in the elevator. Such lit
tie affairs as that in room IS cause COS
sip and hurt our business"
Just at present our building is as

long remain so. Something may bob

Archibald Forbes Experience With
a COlored Cabman

There is a delightfully."- human story
which Archibald Forbes, the famous
war correspondent, told, rather at his
own expense, of his qualification at
the apparent desire of the man and
brother for higher intellectual cul-
ture. On arriving at the station at
West Chester, Pa, where he was TO
lecture. a cOlOred cabman. 1t is said,
offered his services to convey him to
his hotel When he got there, Mr..
Forbes asked the extent of remunera-
ton expected for the journey. The
darby replied:
"Well, sab. if you'd jes' give me a
ticket to de lectur, sab, l should be
right glad
This unusual request from cabman
struck him not only as singular and
laudable, but as quite complimentary
to him. so he said:
Certainly. And haven't you got a
missis?'
"Oh. yes. sab; Use got Il missis"'
"Well. you shall have one for her.
And he requested his agent to hand
to the knowledge seeker the requisite
passes for the entertainment. On
reaching the lecture room he cast a
glance over the audience to see his col
ored friend, but he had not arrived,
nor did he put in an appearance. Next
morning, on getting into the same
mans vehicle to go 10 the station, Mr..
Forbes said:
81 didn't see you at the lecture last
night"
NO. sab; 1 We not dar."
But. You know, l gave you tickets
for yourself and wife,
Yes. sab; l know that, sab. but you
see, sab. / jes' sold dem tickets for 81.
