Grayman.
II propose that you meet me with

DE LADY OF
THE
ROSE LEAF
BY TEMPLE BAILEY


Carson, leaning over the railing on
the drive, high above the pier,
watched the great battleships There
were six of them in a row, all of
somber gray with the flaming red Of
the sunset behind them. Up their
sides the jackies swarmed in a pro-
cession, like q stream of white ants.
Tomorrow they would set sail and be
off for strange lands. Carson viewed
them enviously; he yearned for adj
venture, any break in the monotony
of his dull life. He longed to sail
tropic seas, to touch ON foreign
shores, to live for a time a life COM
pletely divorced from his desk in the
big wholesale house where he was
bookkeeper.
And, even as he longed for TO
nance, it came TO him. The cold
wind, sweeping down from the north,
brought with it something besides
the dried leaves and dust from the
roadway, for, futtering like butter
fly above his head, and finally find
ing a resting place on the rough
sleeve of his coat, came a rose leaf,
pink and curling at the edges.
Carson glanced around him. Up
and down the gray stretches of the
drive automobiles and carriages came
and went. The sidewalks were crowd
ed with people who had come to view
the battleships. In front of him was
the river; back Of him rows of sky
scraping apartment houses lowered
cliffIke. Of course, the rose leaf
might have come from any passing
motor, but Carson's eyes sought the
solution from the closed windows Of
the apartment house just behind.
Far up there was a little balcony, !
and on the balcony stood a girl. @t55seIe

was almost a child, and her fair hair
was tied with a black ribbon. In her
hands she held a rose, and her fin
gers plucked at the petals.
Carson knew that looking at it
from a sober, practical point of view
he was simply a plain bookkeeper
watching the battleships, and that
the rose leaf had foated to him by
mere chance, yet a sort of second
sense made him feel that fate had
brought the pink petal for some
deeper purpose. Never in his cut
and-dried life had he dared to do
anything unconventional, but in this
windy twilight, with the big ships
looming up against that background
of crimson, he, felt an uplift of spir-
its, an urgent need to do something
that should make tomorrow'different
from thepMondays.
He putthe rose leaf, carefully I in
his pocketbook, then went into the
yestibule Of the big,apartment house.
The elevator boyllounged, brass but
toned and self-coufdent, in the door
way. A. tip and a few questions
brought out the fact that the name
ofthe young lady on the balcony was
wynne-Mjss Doris Wynne.
Carson went away witff his pulses
beating, Doris Wyune and a rose
leaf !, Surely that was a combination
thatShould make for romance.

but he made no sign HE adora-
ton should stoop TO no common
Irritation but such was his faith in
fate that he believed the meeting
would come some day, and that it
would come in some way that made
II right. Yet he didn't dream that
happiness was so near until one rainy
evening when he reached the wall
that overlooked the Hudson, and saw
leaning on it, not far away, a girl
in black. A heavy veil was thrown
back from her face and showed it
white and thin. All the joy, all the
gladness had gone out Of it, and yet
il was his lady Of the rose leaf.
He dared not approach her, yet his
heart went out to her in sympathy.
Only some great loss would have
clothed her in such mourning.
He wished he we're a woman so he
might approach, bat knowing that
his wish was futile he sought some
other way. He watched her until
she went back into the big house,
and then he found a florist and
squandered half a weeks salary on
great bunch of pink roses which
matched the petal which had
huttered to him on that fateful Sun
day night. He sent them up to her
with note which told her that he
had learned of her sorrow. This time
he gave his address, because if there
was anything he could do he begged
her to let him know it.
An answer came which began:
"Dear Maurice Carson:
81 do need friend very much. Ny |
fathers death has left me alone and
helpless in a big city. Many weeks |
ago / showed him your letter, and |
he said, IF you ever meet him I be
lieve YOU can trust him. May I trust |
YOU, Maurice Carson? If l can; viii |
you come to me tomorrow morn
ing?"
Maurice went, and found that her
friends were in the south. He tele-
graphed for a faded cousin, who |
came on and helped him move Doris
INTO a plain little flat, which was
within her reduced means. He helped |
he girl get the pupils which her
musical ability made possible; in
act, he aided her in every way be-
ore he said a word about his love.
But at last the day came when it
vas possible to speak of his desire,
nd of the romance he had builded
rom the rose leaf which had fut-
cred to him on a windy night.
Il knew you we're mine from that
noment," he said, transformed by |
ove from a somewhat Insignificant
ookkeeper to a brave wooer.
