"Well," continued the ex-"night OWL
man, "he came here one night, about
a month ago and told me the most
wonderful story ever heard. I've just
bought O place on Eighth Avenue,
where | am going to run a regular
restaurant-near Twenty-third street.
Come and see me-"
Again the Wonderful Story.
I started to walk homeward, finger
ing the solitary nickel in my pocket
land contemplating the certainty of rid
ing down town in the morning. When
I reached Union Square, examined
my address book for the home of
Sturtevant, but it was not recorded.
Then l remembered the cafe in Univer-
sity place, and, although the hour was
late, it occurred to me that he might be
there.
He was. In a far corner Of the room,
surrounded by a group of acquaint-
ances, saw him. He discovered me at
the same instant and motioned to me
to join them. There was no chance for
the story, however. Half a dozen men
were around the table and l was the
farthest removed from Sturtevant.
Its too bad, Mr.. Currier," remarked
one of the party; "you should have
come a little sooner Sturtevaflt has
been telling us a story, it is quite
wonderful, really. | say, Sturtevant,
won't you tell that again, for the bene-
fit Of Mr.. Currier?"
-"Why, yes. believe that Currier has,
somehow failed to hear the magic story,
although I think he was the first one
to whom mentioned 1t at all. Sit down
here and you shall have it."
We were Interrupted at that instant,
by uniformed messenger who handed
Sturtevant a telegram. 1t was from his
chief, demanding his instant attend
ance at the Office.
"Too bad" said Sturtevant, rising
and extending his hand. TELL you What
I'll do, old chap. I'm not likely to be
gone any more than an hour or two.
You take my key and wait for me in
my room. In the escritoire near the
window you will find an old scrap
book, bound in rawhide. Read that and
wait for me until I return"

With that he went out, and lost
no time in taking advantage Of the per-
mission he had given me.
