QUAD iVpy right, IJU. by Associated 'Lit erary 1'rcss ll.-ivlim Ixvu Informed that the stioe stnm; tiuiti lit tin' eonier of Itiondwiiy and White street had had a ditlU-ult.v witli tlio f:uint woman lit tin1 corner of Itmudway and Leonard ami tliat they were im Ioniser on speaking terms, I went over there tlio other day In hopes to luiii about a reconciliation. 1 thought to soo the woman first. hut half a square away 1 mot my old frionil Uilis. tho umbrella mender, ami when ho was informed of my errand ho saiil: j "It's a irro.it idea ami one worthy of tho twentieth eeiitnry. Imt It Is too j late. The peanut woman says that tho shoestring man made up a face at her only an hour au'o as ho passed, and ! anything like hiiiU'lnK the 'chasm Is i now utiorly impossible." I then chained the plan and saw j the shoe-trim: man tirst. You. who i know him only by sight, may take j him for a humble and doolie citizen, j luivini; neither spirit, pride nor am bition, lint smh Is far from being the case. "Yes. sir: it Is true." ho replied when I told him I hail heard of tho rupture "I-'or seven Ions years I have been the warm friend of tho peanut woman, but now all Is over between us. 1 shall always respect her as a ladv. but we can never be friends avalii. Tho relations between us are not strained, but entirely severed." "Hut what caused the rupture?" "Well. I eau't just say. though it's perhaps owing to Ribs, the umbrella man. more than anything else. There Is a man. sir. you would do well to look out for. I don't say that he can't mend a broken umbrella as good as the next, or that he would overcharge you. hut socially he's full of under handed ways." "VYhv. I thought Hilts such a nice man that I treated him to a milkshake j down in Chambers street yesterday." j "Look out for him. sir. I am sure he j made all the trouble between me and the peiMiut woman." "Now. honest Injun, were you and the peanut woman a little sweet on ea'-h other before Kibs came into the field to make trouble?" I "Yon may rnll It that. sir. I called her Annie and she called me Charlie. : and I expect she was a bit lonesome If 1 didn't show up three or four times a dav. Ir was me who wheeled her cart across Hroadwav twice a day for her; 1 watched the papers to see If peanuts went up or down; I turned the roaster for her when my own trade was slack. : and for the Inst five years her shoe- j Ktriti" have not cost her a penny. I ' understand that she came out with i button shoes yesterday to show that j she iiiuld (ret along without me." I now long ago did Kibs come Into I the affair':" About three months, sir. It wasn't n week after he put In three ribs In an ' umbrella for her without charging a cent Unit I began to observe a chance ; In her. She no Ioiil'it called me Char- i lie; she looked at me coldly. Indeed, j sir. it struck me at once that she pre ferred an umbrella man." ' "And has no one else appeared In the ! ease?" j "Well, there was Chiss-to-mt-In. who hum.' about for awhile, but he's a harmless old chap. I don't think he'd speak ill of any one. though he might have put in a word for Ribs, hoping I to be invited to the wedding." "And have you asked for an ex planation?" "Not me. sir. I stand on my dignity. If the peanut woman prefers Kibs to me I'm not the man to fall down on my knees and ask for particulars. I'd see her drowned tirst. If she didn't plan to bring about this very state of affairs why don't she send word to me to come down and have a talk and when I'm there why don't she say: Charlie. I was just flirting a bit with old Ribs to make you jealous and see If you cared for me. Come back and turn the peanut roaster, and be as you was in the past. I wouldn't give one shoestring man for a dozen um brella menders.' " "Well, it is a sad ease, and I want to see it straightened out. I'm going down to have a talk with her and find out the true state of affairs." "1 wish you would, sir. To say nothing of our private feelings, it really Interrupts business on Uroadway and is against public interest. Go down and have a talk. sir. and don't be afraid to come and tell me the worst." I went down to see the peanut wo man and began by asking: "Have you a heart?" "Yes. and the shoestring man has n wink." she replied with a toss of her bead. Must what do yon mean?" "Oh. you've come about the quarrel and I want to tell you that I didn't start It. Five minutes after Charlie had told me the other day that I had the nicest figure of any woman walk ing Broadway I caught him winking at a janitri'ss " "And are yon punishing lilm for It?" Thai's It. sir. ! yon think he's Buffering?" "Terribly. Me looks like man thinking of suicide." l b'.' I'm! I mustn't be too cruel. If vmi are going up that way you nn rht hint tlmt If he and I ate onr lull' h"on together" - I hinted, and am happy to say that In. turtledoves are roosting on tho same branch again, and that business j people of Salem proofs of the oombina m Uroadway has resumed Its normal j turn plat of Saliva and vicinity ami so swing j well pleased were the local men that I lnnny of them doubled and, in some in- Wr;iipi In Olden Time. j stances, trebled their orders.
