GT}T was neither the season nor
the hour when the park had
frequenters. and it is likely
-.y that the young lady who was
seated on one Of the benches at the
side of the walk had merely obeyed q
sudden impulse to sit for awhile and
enjoy a foretaste of coming spring.
A tall young uan came striding
through the park along the path near
which she sat. Behind him tagged Il
boy carrying suit case. at sight of
the young lady the mans face chang
ed to red and back to pale again. He
watched her countenance as he drew
nearer with hope and anxiety mingled
on his own He passed within a few
Yards Of her, but he saw no evidence
that she was aware of his presence On
existence.
Some fftv yards farther on he sud
denly stopped and sat on a bench at
one side. The boy dropped the suit
case and stared at him with wonder
ing, shrewd eyes. The young man
took cut his handkerchief and wiped
his brow. 1t was good handkerchief
good brow. and the young man was
good to look at. He said to the boy:
81 want you to take message to
that young lady on that bench. Tel!
her am on my way to the station to
leave for San Francisco, where shall
join that Alaska moose hunting expe-
dition. Tell her that since she has
commanded me neither to speak nor to
write to her | take this means of
making one last appeal to her sense Of
Justice for the sake Of what has been.
Tell her that to condemn and discard
one who has not deserved such trent
ment without giving him her reasons
or O chance to explain is contrary TO
her nature as believe it to be. Tell
her that l have thus to certain de-
gree disobeyed her injunctiens In the
hope that she may yet be inclined to
see justice done. Go and tell her
that"
The young man dropped a half dol
lar into the boys hand. The boy
looked at him for moment with
bright canny eyes out Of dirty. in
telligent face and then set off at q
run. He approached the lady on the
bench little doubtfully. but unembar-
rassed. He touched the brim of the
old plaid bicycle cap perched on the
back Of his head.
Lady" he said, "dat gent on de
oder bench sent yer song and dance

he's tryin' to do de Johnny act say de
word and I'll call cop in tree min-
utes. If yer does know him and he's
on de square, wy, III spiel yer de
bunch Of hot air he sent yer"
The young lady betrayed a faint in

"a song and dance" she said in a
deliberate, swee. voice that seemed to
clothe her words in diaphanous gar
ment of impalpable irony. "A new

ing what he already well knows you
may convey the matter.
"Tell him that entered the conserv-

The gravel spun from beneath the
boys feet. He stood by the other
bench. The mans eyes interrogatcd
him hungrily The boys were shining
with the impersonal zeal of the trans
lator.
"De lady says dat she's on to de

thought. His hand few to the inside

handed 1t to the boy following 1t with
a silver dollar from his vest pocket.
"Give that letter to the lady," he
said, land ask her to read it. Tell her

The young lady unfolded the letter
somewhat doubtfully and read It:

The Smallest She Had.

A street car conductor one Saturday
afternoon had such good run Of bust

himself supplied with small change.
Many persons who patroniZed his car
handed him dollars and bills of large
denominations in payment of their
fares.
The conductor managed to get along
fairly we'll until woman carrying a
tiny infant bearded his car. When he
approached the woman for her fare
she handed him five dollar bill.
"Is that the smallest you have, mad
am?" queried the conductor, fearing
another stringency in change.
The woman looked at the conductor
and then at the baby and made this
surprising reply:

Forgiveness.

My heart was heavy, for its trust had
been
Abused, it's kim less answered with foul
wrong.
So, turning gloomily from my fellow
men,
One summer Sabbath day / strolle1
among
The green mounds Of the village burial
place.
Where. pondering how all human love
and hate
Find one sad level and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with
meekened face
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold Of our common
grave.
Whittier all footsteps tend, whence none
depart,
Awed for myself and plying my race.
Our common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and tremblinGly
I forgaVe.
Whittier.
