they lifted him out of the ambulance.
The autopsy showed extensive com.

1t seemed that Gussie had lately be-
come very deeply interested in crema-
ton. She hadn't said much about it,
but, really, cremation had appealed to
her as the most sensible thing; so
many prominent and cultured people
had taken it up, too. Oscar agreed
Her idea was that there should be
a nice simple, quiet service at the bur-
ial parlor over in East 69th street, and
after that a private cremation out at
the lovely dignifled crematory on Long
Isla nd. Then, when they got time
from settling up estate and arranging
about the lawsuit against the street
car company, she and Oscar would
get on the train with the ashes and
take them out to Tecumseh Center to
be inferred in the burying ground
there. One of the beauties of crema-
ton was that there needn't be any
great hurry about it.
There wasn't. So may things kept
occurring to keep them from making
the trip. When she felt stronger, af
ter recovering from the first terrible
shock OF 1t and all. and was equal to
the trip, Oscar couldn't get off from
his business. And then first one thing
and then another happened and they
kept putting II off.
The ashes were delivered in a chaste
bronze urn. 1t was a very small urn;
Gussie was shocked by the smallness
of 1t when the undertaken brought it,

But old Mr. Oldham never got a

Rather stiff1y. his legs being cramped,

the car had halted for him at his cor
ner, but instead of turning eastward
toward the Sultana Court. as he
should have done, he turned westward,
| and just as he came from behind the
| car another car passing uptown struck
him and flung him aside and fiat on
his back, and his hat flew off and his
bare head came down with a knock
against the outer rail of the south
bound track.
One of the eye-witnesses said that
he saw the whole thing, and it was
the old fellows fault, because he didn't

The attorney for the plaintiff char

tim to the hospital. He seemed to
have an understanding with the po-
liceman and with the inferno who pre-
ceded him, bumped up in the back of
the ambulance. Statistically speak
ing, the New York efficiency grades
very high. There are 1880 undis-
barred lawyers in New York and IL 700
policemen, and while the figures touch
ing on the average yearly number of
street accidents show a constant in
crease, the gratifying fact yet remains
that for each there is, sooner or later,
a policeman to make report on it and
lawyer specializing in actionable
damage claims against offending cor
porations or individuals.
In this case the lawyer was in evil

| ing policeman was, and some minutes
before the ambulance arrived. He
bobbed up as the crowd was forming
and helped carry the injured party
out of the roadway to the sidewalk,

might have made more ashes than a
human being did.
The urn might be small but 1t was
not unornamental. Still, naturally no
matter how deeply you mourned for
a departed loved one and no matter
how constantly you treasured that
loved ones memory. you couldn't nave
a thing like that around in sight
where people would see II and be
asking questions about it. Now
could you?
Most of our apartment house
dwellers like to move to other apart
ment houses about once in so often;
but not SO the Oscar Tates; they were
different. AS Gussie often said. 1t
suited them just to get settled in a
coZy nook somewhere and stay settled
and not be gadding about over the
country. Perhaps that helps to ex-
plain further why there were so many
postponements Of what necessarily
would be a very sad and distressing
journey back to Missouri.
When their lease expired at the
Sultana Court they renewed 1t for
three years more. Gussie kept the
urn tucked away in a safe place
where no one would disturb it-on the
upper shelf in the closet of the spare
bedroom. 1t was the little rear room,
opening on the inner court-the room
that quivered more than the front bed
room did when the IL" trains passed
or the subway trains ran through
underground. or whatever happened
that caused those little tremors to run
up the back wall of the building.
What with this and that. the shelf
where she. put the urn, pushing 1t well
into corner behind the jamb of the
closet door, was pretty well crowded;
you know how odds and ends accu-
mulate in an apartment. There was
standing room for 1t.
