TT was a raw, chilly afternoon when
Winston, B. A., turned his back on
the cottage and walked to the little coun-
try station.
A train had just come in from Lon
don. There were not many passengers.
A few farmers who had been cattle buy
ing some boys from the grammar
school few stations TIP the line;
woman with a child crying in her arms.
Winston stood and watched them idly
as they passed him and went out into
the cold. A girl was standing some little
way off, talking to the one official the
wayside station boasted. Presently she
left him and came on toward the gates.
As she passed Winston under the gas
lamp she brushed against him.
81 beg your pardon" she said. She
turned her head, and Winston saw the
CLEAN of golden hair beneath her black
hat. He half started forward, then re-
membered himself and stopped. There
was more than one woman in the world
with golden hair, he told himself stern
ly. Yes, but there was not more than
one woman in the world with the blue
eyes that the girl suddenly raised to his
face; not more than one woman with
the smile that curved her lips as the yell
low gaslight revealed the man to her.
Her hands went out to him impulsive-
ly. 81 have come to pay my call first,
YOU see," she said, in a voice wherein
laughter struggled with tears. But
but-where are you going 2"
81 have given up the cottage said
Winston, hoarsely. He made no effort
to take her hands. 81 am going away.
Going away?' echoed the girl. Go
ing away from the Garden of Eden?"
"The Garden of Eden is lonely now,
said the man, trying to smile. He pulled
himself together with an effort. They
told me the news last night" he said.
81 hope you will be happy-very happy.
The girls head dropped, and shamed
flush crept into her cheeks. "Oh!' she
said. "but it is not true-not true-that
is why | am here. II thought you
would have written or come to see me.
| have been away such long time now,
but you have not come-you have never
written. So-so-I wrote that
| don't know why, unless-unless
wanted to see if it would hurt you.
But as soon as the letter was posted
She broke off, and made little desper-
ate clutch at the mans arm. "Oh how
dense you are" she said, trying to laugh.
Cant you understand? l want
ed to come back-to tell you" She
lifted ar-drowned eyes to the mans
face.
"You are only a child" said Winston,
B, A., heavily. "And | am nearly forty.
You cannot care for me
you are only a child"
"It's not my fault that | was born
eighteen years after you," said Miss
Eden, with delightful logic. "And now
have come back ADAM
have come back" She broke off con-
fi1sedly

hands from behind his back. "Good-by,'
he said. His fingers hardly touched the
little kind ones held to him. Take care
of yourself in London"
Miss Eden pouted. 81 think you
might say you are sorry that am going,
she said. Il am sure the real Adam
would have done, if Eve had been going
away
Winston forced himself to smile. Il
regret your going away very much he
said, stif1y. He loosed her hand. Good
by,s he said.
She turned to go down the ladder.
"Good-by," she echoed.
He waited till there was nothing but
the bare top of the wall, then he, too,
turned to CO. A voice, half laughing,
half tremulous, called his name. He
stopped and looked back. Her pretty face
once more smiled at him.
Catch - she said.
Mechanically Winston, B. A, extended
his hands, and something small and hard
fell into them-it was a rosy apple.
That's for a Keepsake said Miss
Eden.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-15

For a moment he held it in his hand as
if it were something very, very dear and
precious to him, then he dropped it into
the heart of the dying fire.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-15

OCTOBER came and went, but Win
" ston. B. A., was still occupying the
small sitting room that overlooked the
apple tree and the orchard wall. Every
morning when he woke he told himself
that there would be a letter from the girl,
and every morning when he found there
was not he told himself that he had
never really expected there would be.
1t never occurred to him to write to
her. For one thing, though he knew her
address, he would not have known what
to say and the days dragged on.
Then. one bitter November afternoon,
'Lisbeth came over to tea with her sister.
From his sitting room Winston heard
them talking, and he longed. achingly, to
ask if there were any news OF the girl,
but he knew he could not.
When the sister of 'Lisbeth came in
with his supper he looked up from his
paper with elaborate carelessness.
Did | hear your sister,
hope she is very well ?"
And then the sister of 'Lisbeth told
him that the girl was engaged to be mar
ried.
"'Lisbeth had such nice letter" she
said Importantly. "And she said we
was to tell you. He's very
rich gentleman, and Miss Eve will keep
her carriage, and all, and be presented at
court. 'Lisbeth says" And so she
ratified on. and Winston sat in silence.
listening.
Later on in the evening, when the
sister of 'Lisbeth came to ask if there
was anything more he wanted, she found
him still sitting as she had left him,
staring into the dying fire.
He shook his head, in answer to her
question, but when she reached the door
he called her back. 81 am leaving here
tomorrow morning" he said 81 have
been called away on important business.
I shall pay for the cottage as
arranged, till the end of the month"
When the door had once more shut be-
tween them Winston got up from his chair
slowly, as if he were very, very tired,
and crossing to his desk, unlocked it
and took from it a small, withered apple.

If there ever was vote which could
absolutely be controlled by one man.
that vote is the Teddy Bear vote. and
the man Theodore Roosevelt. In
spite of the repeated dsnials from
Washington the manufacturers and
venders of Teddy Bears continued to
believe up to the last moment that. the
president would find the nomination
thrust upon him. In such an event az
course there would have been a tre-
mendous demand for furry limitations
which have come to be accepted as
the Roosevelt emblem. The result of
the nomination of Taft was to knock
the bottom out of the Teddy Bear
market, until there is just about as
much demand for them as there was
for railroad stocks during the panic
last fall. Manufacturers who had been
busy turning out goods in anticipation
of Roosevelts nomination found them
selves overloaded and became bulls lnl
the Teddy Bear market. Dealers who
had been equally certain of a third
term Immediately began to attempt
to cancel contracts. Already several
suits have resulted, the largest being
brought by a manufactures to compel
a dealer to accept and pay for more
than $4,000 worth of Teddy Bears
which he had ordered. Mr.. Roose-
velfs approaching retirement to pri-
vate life thratens ruin to the Teddy
Bear industry, and it is certain that
could he have been induced to run
the solid Teddy Bear vote would have
been in line for him. Apparently the
only hope for the once prosperous
bear makers is to invent ain equally
nonular Taft emblem
