like bit of fun as we'll as the next
fellow l don't even mind if the fun is
at my expense. But | do resent your
deliberate attempt to make a fool of
me in public.
After all, l entered into this cor
respondence without the slightest
suspicion that every word you wrote
me was a lie. Maybe you wondered
Saturday night why was so slow in
recognizing you and your trickery. AS
long as you're gloating today. you may
as well have the whole story.
The truth is this: When l entered
the Hotel Merrimac, almost the first
person l saw was a glorious girl in
gray tweeds, seated between the pot
ted palms. She wore one of those
ridiculous hats that slant over the
right eye, and her other eye was
watching the door. She was one Of the
loveliest creatures I'd ever seen, and
at the sight of her, don't mind telling
you. my hopes shot far up into the
stratosphere.
She was fondling a very pretty
purse. AS l sat down opposite her,
expectantly, l displayed the dog head
of my cane. She was watching me so
closely that felt quite certain of my
self - and of her. In fact. was on the
point of crossing to her without giving
her the trouble of going through the
hocus-pocus of dropping the purse.
But just as started to get up, she,
too, rose. Then lots of things happened
all at once.
First, a man entering the lobby
went straight to the girl. He took off
his hat. shook hands with her, and /
realized with collapse of hope that
I'd been wrong. She hadn't been
waiting for me at all. She'd been
waiting for this other fellow.
I'd scarcely adjusted myself to this
first disappointment when l heard
something thud on the carpet at my
feet. l blinked down to see "a
wallet. A mans wallet!
Then looked up and saw you grin
ming at me - you. q man! If you were
a decent looking sort of chap. l
shouldn't have minded so much. l
might even have laughed and had
drink with you. But there you stood
- fat. baldish, grinning, enjoying my
discontinue. You said, Hello. Mr.. Y.
Have l kept you waiting long?"
In that moment / knew exactly
what authors mean when they write
of seeing red" Why didn't take a
sock at your red nose, l still don't
understand. Certainly felt like doing
it. felt like telling you few things,
too. But as l started to speak, there
were so many people watching us - or
at any rate. so it seemed to me - that
decided it wasn't worth while making
a public scene. Besides, the girl in
gray was watching. too. That's why l
turned and walked out of the hotel
without saying word to you. don't
mind telling you l was boiling. and
still am.
But l can't resist the impulse to
write this final note and to tell you
I'll find great and thorough pleasure
in bouncing a fist off your face if you'll
meet me again - anywhere you say
at any time.

wrote you was not lie. | hardly

James Norton.
June "a, 1895.
Dear James Norton:
AS long as you asked for facts,
you're going to get them. Here they
are. Saturday afternoon, Just as l was
planning to 60 out to meet you. my
brother Unexpectedly arrived from
La Porte, Indiana. He's much older
than l. He's married, has several
children and a red nose, and visits
New York regularly once a year. He
insisted on my having dinner with him
that evening. When persistently re-
fused - not wishing to break my
engagement with you - he became
suspicious. laughingly accused me OF
being in love, asked me who you we're.
Well, couldn't tell him. Not even
your name. All could do in kind of
surrender, was show him your let
tiers. They weren't in any way HARM
full. and l didn't think you'd object.
When he read them. he laughed as
only my brother can laugh. Then he
insisted on coming along to the Hotel
Merrimac to witness the fun. did
everything in my power - please be-
lieve mel to dissuade him. But if
you knew my brother. you'd realize
how impossible such thing was.
Anyhow, he came along.
Yes. was the girl in the gray tweeds
you saw between the potted palms
the girl with the ridiculously slanted
hat. l hope that makes you feel easier.
The instant you entered, l spied the
cane with the dog head. The sight of
you, don't mind confessing, was a
distinct surprise and a pleasure. You
really looked very nice. As you sat
down. l was on the point of going to-
ward you, when Randolph Carter -
my publisher. of all people! - came
into the Merrimac and saw me.

shook hands. My brother. who was
watching from corner of the lobby.

ing such as you and l had planned -
in the presence of Randolph Carter.
He knows MIR. Carter is sery correct
sort of person; he'd never have under
stood such nonsense.
Ihoped desperately you'd wait while
got rid of Carter. My hope was that
Carter would say good-by quickly.

For one thing, it's cheerful. and

the truth. have suspicion that your
original description of yourself wasn't
altogether true. You probably wrote
what you did in order to pry an eager
reply out of the lonesome boarding
