They shook hands again and then
Thornley,, reaching In his pocket, drew
out three cigars.
Smoke those, old man, and when
you're smoking them remember me, -
he said.
Rolber took the cigars. The steam
er sailed away and few weeks later
letter from Thornley, told Of his safe
arrival. Everything was strange, he
said, but he hoped he would like the
country.
Letters came at intervals and then
came the news Of Thornley's death.
He had caught a fever and died sud-
denly.
The news was q great shock to
Rolber.' It was as IL he had lost q
brother.
OF the three cigars Thornley, had
given TO him that day when he sailed
away two had been smoked. Rolber
preferred pipe to cigar, and after
he heard of Thornley's death he had
no desire to smoke the third. He put
the cigar on his mantelpiece at home
under glass case. and every time he
looked at it his thoughts turned to
his dead friend.
Two years passed and still the cigar
remained in its old place. Then, one
night, Rolber discovered that all his
smoking tobacco was gone. He
searched high and low. but could not
discover anything to smoke. He went
at last to the mantelpiece and looked
at Thornley's cigar. No, he would not
think. of smoking that. It would be a
sacrilege. He turned away and took
up book. But there was no pleasure
in reading. He was nervous and he
needed smoke. He searched again
for some tobacco, although he knew
there was none. Again he turned to
read, but the craving Of the steady
smoker was too strong. He went and
looked at the cigar. It had dried out,
but still was in good condition. SEN
timent and appetite struggled for
minute or two and sentiment won.
Rolber walked away and tried to
satisfy his craving by putting his
empty pipe in his mouth and drawing
on it as If It were filled. That did not
do. He simply had to smoke, and at
last he turned back to the mantel-
piece, lifted the glass case and took
out Thornley.'s cigar. Just moment
he wavered. Then he struck a match,
held the flame close to the cigar and
with sigh of satisfaction he drew in
a lung full of smoke. It seemed to
him that he never before had enjoyed
a smoke so much. Three, four, five
times he puffed contentment into his
physical self and then
