15e LADY OF
THE
ROSE LEAF

3y TEMPLE BAILEY

Carson, leaning over the railing on
the drive, high above the pier,
watched the great battleships. There
were six Of them in row, all Of
somber gray with the flaming red of
the sunset behind them. Up their
sides the jackies swarmed in pro-
cession, like a stream of white ants
Tomorrow they would set sail and be
off for strange lands Carson viewed
them enviOusly; he yearned for ad-
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 life COM
pletely divorced from his desk in the
big wholesale house where he was
bookkeeper.
And, even as he longed for ro-
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, Auttering like butter
fly above his head, and finally find
ing a resting place on the rough
sleeve of his coat, came 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 mad come to view
the battleships. In front Of him was
the river; back of him rows Of sky
Scraping apartment houses lowered
Fclifflike. 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 girl. She

H. E. Rowan, the editor of the
''Leader"of Bloomingdale, Mich,
who has been out in this part of
the country for the past two weeks
visiting with his brother G. g.
Rowan of Obern made this office a
pleasant call Wednesday for the
purpose of arranging an exchange
of papers. Mr.. Rowan is very
much interested in this part of tie
country and wants to keep in
touch with its doings. He said he
came out to be in the land of sun
shine and broad prairie and land
ed in a cold spell that made the
thermometer sink to what was an
unknown depth in his country.

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 ii
from a sober, practical point Of view
he was simply a plain bookkeeper
watching the battleships, and that
the rose leaf had hoated to him by a
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 other Mondays.
He put the rose leaf carefully in
his pocketbook, then went into the
vestibule of the big apartment house.
The elevator boy lounged, brass but
toned and self-confdent, in the door
way. A tip and a few questions
brought out the fact that the name
of the young lady on the balcony was
Wynne-Miss Doris Wynne.
Carson went away with his pulses
beating. Doris Wynne and a rose
leaf Surely that was a combination
that should make for romance.
That night he wrote this note:
"Dear Lady Of the Rose Leaf:
"This petal hoated down on me as
/ stood watching the battleships to-
night, beneath your balcony. looked
up and saw your face. l have no
right to ask you to admit me to your
friendship, but some day l hope to
meet you, and | am sending this 50
that when that happy time arrives
you may know my NAME"
He signed it Maurice Carson"
and sent it off.
After that, life seemed very differ
ent. Like some ardent Romeo, ha

but he made no sign. His 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 il
would come in some way that made
it 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
it 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 were a woman so he
might approach, but 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
a great bunch of pink roses which
matched the petal which had
Ruttered 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 a 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 | be-
lieve you can trust him. May | trust
YOU, Maurice Carson? If | can; will
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 plain little fiat, which was
within her reduced means. He helped
the girl get the pupils which her
musical ability made possible; in
fact, he aided her in every way be-
fore he said word about his love.
But at last the day came when it
was possible to speak of his desire,
and of the romance he had builded
from the rose leaf which had fut-
tered to him on a windy night.
81 knew you were mine from that
moment" he said, transformed by
love from a somewhat insigr ficant
bookkeeper to a brave wooer.
perhaps | knew it, too" Doris
admitted. "Do you know what l
said when / sent the rose leaves Aut-
tering out upon the wind"
He shook his head.
81 said, Petals, bring me q
friend" she told him. Then she
urned to him with a charming ges-
ture. 'But they brought me more
than that, they brought me you
my lover and my husband"
