SYMPATHY STORY.

His real name." the amateur poet
said, was Theophllus Tinkit, but
everybody called him Bud, so you can
see he was popular person.
THE chief thing about Bud was his
infectious grin. He had it to the nth
degree. He could have gone into a
convention of humorists. just circulat-
and presently everybody would have
been SO happy and cheerful you
couldn't have told them from gath
ering of undertakers. In other words,
his smile was catching.
Il suppose he went right along up
and became leading light some
where" the drug clerk broke in. "A
fellow like that ought to get along in
the world
Il was just going to tell you about
that" the poet continued. Bud had a
job in grocery store. The store be-
longed to old Silas Hibbler, anu he
had face that looked like a stone
image OF grief. He was always down.
hearted, and the better his luck the
surer he was that greater misfortune
was to come upon him just to main
tain the average.
There was an old lady in our town
who was SO rich she couldn't keep
track of her interest, according to our
standards of wealth. She bought
things at Hibbler's store. She wasn't
fond of Hibbler. She said that every
time she went into the place 1t re-
minded her of q funeral, and that
made her think of her departed hus-
band-she was widow, you know
and thinking of him made her sad. So
she had Bud come and take her order,
and Bud delivered her groceries at her
door.
"She liked Bud the first time she
saw him. And the more she saw of
him the better she liked him. She got
SO she would talk about hiLI whenever
she got the chance. She used to sing
regular paeans about him. And then.
all of sudden, her sole relative died.
and it became common talk that she
was going to leave all her money to
Bud.
There's no doubt of the fact that
she adored Bud. And there's no doubt
of the fact that Bud deserved it. But
after the old lady had departed and
the will was opened and all the gos-
sips got the news 1t was noised abroad
that Bud hadn't fallen heir to cent
of her cash. When her lawyer was
persuaded to talk, the facts came out.
She left all Of her money to old Hibb-
Ter. She said that anybody who could
be as grouchy and downcas. as Hibb-
Ter was, needed sympathy and help,
IL ever man did. And she said Buds
character inspired her to help the
cheerless. And she added. Buds smile
was such fortune he wouldn't need
any other anyway. So. the last knew
of him. he was still delivering gro
cerles."

Kim Lee"
He rose, and in turn came over and
faced me. His hand, thrust into the
breast of his robes, came forth and
brought an ugly little automatic pistol
into view. He handed it to me.
Lucille, my child" he announced,
"the hour is at hand for you to act.
Take this and carry it with you. Hide
it where you may keep it under any
ordinary search. Use it only in case
it is final resort / give it to you
only to give you sense of safety
that you may feel prepared.
What you are to do / may not tell
you fully; you must act on trust of
me. But this much shall say in order
to assure your success. You will leave
here and go into the street. When you
get there act as one distressed. Let

Walk slowly along the street in any
direction your fancy takes you. At

which you almost despair Of finding.
Lucille, are you brave enough, are
you strong enough, to do this thing
and not falter?"
l rose and stood before him, and
looked up to his face. "Yes," l de-
clared, and put out my hand. Give
me the gun"
In that moment / had made up my
mind to follow his directions and meet
whatever might come with faith in
his ultimate success. But l did not
accept on impulse. had seen enough,
heard enough, to realize that was be-
ing deliberately sent out on danger

not know.
Right now there seemed to be little
"where." But l saw that the men
who sent me had taken what seemed
like great precautions to insure my
safety and success, and did not hesi-
tate in my mood Of the moment to
trust life itself in the hands Of Dual

the weapon in my palm. "You are
brave, Lucille" he said gently. Con

l was wearing a dress with low
throat. turned away from Dual and
Kim Lee, opened the neck still farther
and thrust the little automatic down
inside my waist. My experience with
the police had shown me that it was a
place where a cursory search would
miss it. I had known money and
jewels to be so concealed by female
thieves.
In moment / turned back and
picked up my hat. Il am ready" l
announced.
Venus and Mercury draw to con-
junction" said Semi to Kim Lee. He
took me by the hand and led me to
the door which gave into the little re-
ception closet. You go to the des-
tiny of woman" he whispered, and set
the door ajar.
l passed out. In the closet itself
found the grim-faced hatchet man
still waiting, sitting silent, his arms
folded on his breast. He neither look
ed up nor glanced in my direction. l
opened the outer door and let myself
through.
Down stairs / looked at my watch
