LOVE ON THE

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.
