At Twenty third street Kennard
turned dismally from Broadway into
Fifth avenue. Saturday afternoon and
nothing to do! Thanks to that con-
founded cotton broker, who couldn't be
seen till Monday, he was obliged to re-
main in town over Sunday. Well, he
might as we'll walk up to his hotel-a
constitutional of thirty odd blocks
would do him good.
It was the first week in May, and
in local swelldom wooden boardings
were already beginning to go up and
hideous green shades were appearing
down the entire length Of drawing
room windows. Outside the florists
shops tissue papered pots of blossoms
still remained, savoring Of Easter and
April, but the doors stood open reveal
ing rich vista Of bloom against back
grounds Of palms. Once Kennard no.
ticed some fashionably frocked women
standing within, choosing the last of
the seasons violets.
"Bah!' he said, deliberately turning
his head away and looking at the spires
Of st. Patrick's cathedral instead.
"Why do women all love those foolish
lowers?'
Now, once there was a girl, a neigh
Dor Of his, down on an old Mississippi
plantation, whose eyes in certain lights
matched the velvety heart Of violets,
and often enough down by the bawling
little brook where the colony of violets
grew he had told her so. But always
it had been her way to shake her head
with a tantalizing little smile and say:
| ''That's because you write books and
are inclined to be poetic!'
Pretty much the same answer she
had given, too, that night when the
hooking birds were singing in the
moonlight and he had laid his love
Hello, your cried some one in the
brightest of voices, suddenly coming
abreast Of Kennard. "Well, if this
isn't luck! Instead Of catching the 1
o'clock train today, as usual, ran up
town on an errand for my wife,

having spent an hour or SO at Archer's

the two men took train from jersey
