ciaiion. 1
June, as everybody knows, Is a de
lightful month. A young man was
walking on a suburban road on a June
morning. The heavens were blue,
without a single fleecy dash. The air
was dfy and warm, an atmosphere
that accords with the hum of insects
and the occasional piping of a bird. -
lie stopped and leaned upon a neat
fence. Within were spacious and
highly cultivated grounds. Directly "
before him was a flower garden partly
hidden by little clumps of low trees.
He was a flower lover. He coveted
especially some beautiful Jacqueminot
roses he saw within. Surely the own
er of the place would not grudge him
ne or two. The house stood back
within a grove, jno one was about.
He felt again the glow of boyhood in
stolen fruit. To his right was a gate
not the main gate a little one for side
entrance. He went and stood by the-
gate and looked and fell before temp
tation. With a quickly beating heart
he opened it, stepped briskly in, picked
a rose and was about to retire when
he saw a bed of American Beauties
osing themselves in a leafy recess. It
occurred to him to gain the recess be
fore doing any more stealing. Hur
rying into it, he ran up against a girl
sitting on a rustic bench with a lapful
of roses. She uttered an exclamation
of .sudden fright.
"Pardon me," he said. "I-I"
The girl said nothing. She was try
ing to regain her equanimity. Instead
of looking as if she had surprised a
thief she looked as if she had been
surprised doing something she "was
ashamed of.
"I am very fond of flowers," he
added.
"I love flowers too."
"So I judge by the roses in your lap."
"It was wrong to pluck them, but I
couldn't help it."
Why wrong to pluck that to which
I'm sure you are welcome?"
She looked at him inquiringly. She
was herself a trespasser. It occurred
to her that he was the owner.
"Then I may keep them?"
He saw the situation. He, a thief,
had stumbled on a thief who thought
him the possessor of the place. Put
ting his hand on his heart, he bowed
low and said:
"All of them and more." r
He broke off a dozen and threw them
In her lap. "
"Oh, how kind of you!"
She was very pretty and, dressed as
she was in sheer white, formed a love
ly contrast with the green background
and the roses in her lap. '
If 1 ; were an artist," he said, "I i
would wish for nobetter subject." ,!
Won't you show me your place?"
she asked. "
"Certainly, but may" ! not sit for a
few minutes ip this entrancing bower?"
She moved aside" and made room for
him on the bench.
"I am fortunate," she said, "in find
ing one so lenient with me, a tres
passer." - ...
"Rather I welcome another choice
flower in my garden."
A few quick steps crunching the
gravel and a gentleman of middle age
entered the recess, ne stood looking
at the pair in surprise. The girl
glanced at her companion, expecting
him to excuse her presence to one
whom she thought was another of the
occupants of the place. He did not
speak. He' was hunting for a story to
cover the situation.
"This gentleman," she said to the
newcomer, "has been so kind a's to
give me some roses."
"You are quite welcome to them,"
said he who was the real owner. ?
"I I knew you vould have done as
much yourself," said the man tres
passer, coloring.
The owner took In the situation at
least enough of it to-give him "a cue.
He' fancied the trespasser had brought
the girl there and yielded to a tempta
tion to give her the roses. ,
"Would you 'like to see my place?"
he said.
The girl gave her companion tres
passer a surprised look, "why.j 1
thought you lived here!" ;
The owner crane to the rescue of a
fellow man. "He is always welcome
here," he said. .
"Oh, a friend?" said the girl. -"An
esteemed friend," the owner put
in. "Come, we will walk through the
place." - - . .
The girl gathered up her roses, and
they were led through the place, the
owner calling their attention to this
and that rose, tree, or plant. When
they had seen it all, he. asked them in
for a glass of wine and a biscuit. This
offer was declined, and they were con
ducted to the gate. '
"Haven't seen 'much of you lately,
old man," said the host at parting.
"Are you going to' desert us entirely?"
"Will you be at home this evening?".
"Yes; happy to see you." , . , '
"I'll call."
When they were alone the girl said,
"How nice it was that I was caught
by two such nice men." - "
"Oh, we men can always depend
upon one another. Any guest of mine
in thafplace is a guest of my friend."
"Delightful! I bid you good morning.
Thank you very much for the roses."
"Don't mention it." C
In the evening the trespasser" called
on the owner.
"Y"W are not only a gentleman," he
said, "you are a man and a brother.!' '
' "There is nonor among thieves," re
plied the host, "and in such matters
we men are all thieves. Will you take
jours dry or sweet?"
"Dry, thank you." - . '
Then the guest told the story. 1 "
