Joih Wink, In Iialtimor American. , A Cluster of Violetsve By ELLA S. WITHKRZLL. LAURENCE MAYHEW was the quietest of all the traveling mat. connected with the firm of Kaight, Powers it Co. the mint prosaic, un aentimental, matter-of-fact fellow one wnulil find In a month's search. Bo when Horace Worth, another drummer for the same house -one raw, chilly day In March, chanced to step Into FranUKarter's. the florist's. Just In time to hear Mr. Mayhew say: "Now, Mr. Karter, do not fail to got the violets off by to-day's express. 8ame address as usual, you have It, I suppose. And here, put this card in the box; my train leaves in 15 min utes, or I would stny until you got them packed," end when Worth acci dentally saw that the card bore the Inscription: "To my dnrling, with heart's best love Laurence," to put it mildly, he was Bstonished. "Hello, old fellow," said he, "send ing violets to your best girl, shT" "Yes, I thought they would surely be appreciated such a dismal day as this." "Well, you are the last man I would ever suspect of being guilty of falling In love; a eonflrmed old bachelor like you, with plenty of gray hairs. Hut they say when a man of 40 or over does get hit with Cupid's arrow he la hit hard." "At any rate," laughed Mayhew, "in this instance I confess It la true, I am 'hit hard,' as you say, and my 'beet girl' is the dearest girl on earth," and ha hastened away to the depot, where his sample ease had preceded him. Worth had only entered the employ of Knight, Towers A Co, sii months bsfore, but during the time he had met Mayhew several times and had , liked him from the first, mentally dubbing him a good fellow, with a keen sense of humor, ready to take or give a Joke In his quiet way, but seldom entering Into the story-telling of his brother knights of the grip, when as was occasionally the case some of them met at the end of their several trips; and he had never been heard to boast of the pretty girls he had met, or flirted with, as some of the others were wont to do. Ho the above iurlilcut impressed Itself upon the memory of Horace Worth, who, ulthough a volublu, easy-going man, was kind hearted ulmost to a fault, and possessed of a strict sense of honor. Two months later Mr. Worth hap- ivuvu ii no H-imiiipr ountiay at a small town some 90 miles out from I the city. Saturday evening the la dles of one of the churches were serving ice cream anil strawberries In a hall near the hotel where Worth was stopping, and to while away an Idle hour as much as to help in a good cause, he strolled In about nine o'clock, and took a seat at one of the tables. A bright little woman come forward to serve him, and ha instinctively noted her plain, but attractive face, lit up by large gray eyes, and erowned with a wealth of hair, once dark brown, but now thickly threaded with silver. The rush of the earlier part of the evening being over, he was the only one at that table, while disposing of the daintily served re freshments the little woman brought In response to his request; so, seeing tliut he was a strunger In town, anil seemed to know no one, she remained by the table pleasantly chatting In a manner that showed her to be a lady lu every sense of the word. Hoon some one called, "Oh, Mrs. Mayhew, please eome here a minute," mid saying "Fianae me," she has tened away. Five minutes later she returned, Mr. Worth not yet having paid for his refreshments. As he handed her the amount he said: "I'srdon me, but 1 heard your name called, and it is a familiar one to mo, as another trav eling man with the firm I represent bears it, Mr. Laurence Mayhew. la he A relutiic of vouch?" tJuii'M.v Mtiiliug, she said: "Oh, do you know Laurence? Why, he is my husbuml. I am glud, sir to meet a friend of his; mny I usk your name?" "Horace Worth, at jour service," replied he, bowing, "but you surprise me. I did not know thai Mr MmvIicw had married; may I Inquire h"u long since the happy event to d. pl.o e'.1" "Did not know that I.hiii'mi.c was married? That is strum"1 ' li'u-licd she; "yet perhaps not sir' itlier. In every town and village may be had, the Mica Axle Grease that makes your horses glad.

It was with difficulty that Horace restrained hi astonishment, and as the scene it the Hormt'e two months before flashed across his mind, his in dignation knew no bounds. Hut by an effort he quietly nmile a few more commonplace remarks, bnde her good night and returned to the hotel. "The scoundrel!" thought he, "to he untrue to such a fine-little woman as that, and the mother of his chil dren, too, just because he has been at tracted by the pretty face of some young girl, while his wife's hair is gray, like his own! 1 feel like shoot ing Mm!" lie sought his room and bed, but it was nearly dawn before sleep visited his eyelids, so wrought up he over his discovery of Uie evening. lie felt he ought to warn her, the poor little, unsuspecting, wronged , wife, and yet he dreaded to be the execu tioner of the love and trust with which her face was radiant while speaking of her husband. At length he dropped Into a troubled sleep, to dream that Mrs. Mayhew, pole-faced and wan, etood by his side piteously saying: "Oh, why didn't you tell me? If you had it might have been in time for me to have led him bock nut of the snaree that wicked girl laid for him. And now he Is gone, gone, and my heart Is broken!" Late in the morning he awoke, more Impressed than ever that it was his duty to warn the v.-onged wife, disagreeable though It might be. So he secured writing material, and after destroying sheet ufter sheet of paper, he finally composed a note in which he told her, In as gentle a innn ner as possible, of the episode at the florist's, and cloned by begging her not to think ill of him for being the bearer of such news, as he very greatly regretted the necessity he felt he was under to warn her, nnd exprcsxaing the hope that with her knowledge of the affair, nn iiiiliicuce might be brought to bear that would eovnteract any evil toils into which her husband had probably uncoil seiously fallen, and that Imppiness might once again he hers, 'litis note be dispatched by the bell boy, about the time he Judged she might have returned from ehurch. A half hour later a white inclosure was handed in at hla door. He tore It open and read: "Mr. Horse Worth Dsar Hlr: To v tust I wss anusMl at th contents of your not falls far short o( sipressInK my feel lairs.

The writing showed signs of agitn tfon, and It was with quickly beating heart that Mr. Worth presented him aelf at Mrs. Mayhew's door, at the appointed hour. He was admitted by the maid and shown Into the pnrlor, where he waa at onee Joined by M rs. Mayhew. The pallid face and swollen eyes, for whieh he was prepared, were absent. Instead she greeted him with smiling countenance. "Mr. Worth," said she. "I sent for you, not as you probably supposed to question you farther concerning my 'dear husband, but to free your mind from the unjust charges which I give you the credit of hoiimtly be lieving. At first I was angry over your Intimation, hut I believe you to be a gentloman, and that you took the course that you did from a sense of duty. Fifteen years ago the 2nth of last March we were married. On thnt never-to-be-forgotten day, I wore a bunch of violets, and the table where the simple luncheon was spread was decorated with the mime, flinra that day, the Sirth of March has never failed to bring from my dear, thoughtful husband, a fragrant cluster of violets; and two months ago, as usual, when he Is absent at that time, there came by express a box of the sweet flowers, containing litis card," and she held out the well rememberod ld of briatol hoard, on which was written, "To mv darling, with a heart's heat love Laurence." "The next mall," continued she, "brought his usual daily letter, In which he told the Joke of your sup posing he was a bachelor, how you asked if ha was sending flowers to his best girl, and of hla reply. That Is Just like Laursnre, to have a little quiet fun at your expense, by never correcting your erroneous supposi tion. 1 hope you will forgive him for it, Just aa I have forgiven you for your alandrrous thoughts of my hnaliand," and she smilingly ex tended her hand. Just how Mr. Worth managed to take her hand and how over it, stam mer out his sincere apologies, and get out Into the street, he never could clearly remember. tut It is a fart that when he finally found ref uge in hie room at the hotel, he feel ingly remarked to himself: "1 wish I hsd throe feet, so I could stand on two of them, and kick myself with the other!"

We were in !oti of I place in England where we actually couldn't understand a word the people Mid, although they were tuppoed to be npi-aking Kngliih, and my poor dear of a tenty hu band came aer getting into fistfrufl with mme of the restaurant folks and I withers and tradespeople to Yorkshire hfcau-e they bridled up and seemed to be huffy when he, not being able to understand the patois that they believe is Knghsh, aked them why tht-y didn't speak the language of their king. j "But in the really-and-truly foreign coun tries our d i fiii mil ies were beyond belief. Neither of us knows a word of any other language but Knghsh. Now, I, being a wom an, and therefore a reasoning being, an willing to concede that there are sveral language spoken on tht globe besides Kng hsh, and o admit the right of the people who arc born and raised to thee languages to speak them in tfieir own lands, but my husband, being a man, and a man of ei clusively English speech, became more and more ferocious over tht languages of the people aa we progressed on the tour. It didn't madta any difference where we were, whether in tht Tyrol or by tht Italian lakes, he sttmed to take it as a personal affront when the people addressed nun in their own tongues, and he became even more angry when he inadvertently asksd one of them a question and received only a shake of the . head in reply The infernal imbeciles!' he waa ex claiming to me all over Europe, 'how in the dickens do they eipect a white man to talk such idiotic rubbish as that?' " 'But,' I would expostulate, 'they are talking the only language they know " 'Well, that's tht reason 1 call 'ma im beetles!' he would hotly retort. " 'But I would start to say, when he would interrupt me with such an outbreak as this: " There art no ifs, andi and but about it; they talk like a lot of monkeys the idea of a man who talks English that's fairly decent at any rate not heing able to get a word of sense out of a single one of about 2,000,000 alltsjed human beings that he's addressed ntceesary questions to all over a continent that's supposed to be civilized!' "And there spoke the average American man abroad, for all the world. I'll never forget tht morning wt first arrived in Am sterdam. We started out early to explore, and my h us I rid became more gloomy and morose every etep we took over the utter inability jf any of the people we met to understand us. I suppose the Dutch people are the least accomplished linguists in Eu rope at least they strurk us as being so. We didn't strike a single individual in Am sterdam that could speak English. Along in tht afternoon we became hungry and de cided to hunt up some restaurant for lunch eon instead oPre turning to the hotel. So my hurttand began asking everybody we met where there was a good restaurant. They all stared vacantly at him and shook their heads with awful solemnity without a word and passed on, many of them turning about to look after tu aa if they considered us escaped insane folks " 'I'm guifig to get one of these Dutch baboons to give mt some kind of an intelli gible reply to a civd question if I have to stay right here on the streets of Amster dam for 4.000 years!' he said to me, hoarsely, and with such utter unreaonahleneM that I couldn't for the life of me have helped throwing my head back right there and laughing at him whieh didn't tend to in crease his cheer fumes a particle, as you may imagine. "Finally he went up to a gendarme one of those funny-looking little squatty male persons with the exaggeratedly ferocious expression of countenanre-and he fairly bawled in the astonished gendarme's teeth: " 'Say, my adipose friend of the broad way squad, can you and will you tell me where I can find a place in this burg where two pilgrims oan get a bite and a sup of Mine tlimg fit to eat and to drink?' "He aked thia question, as I say, in an axtjedingly loud tone of voic I observed that most traveling Americun men shouted their questions at foreigners, as if mere volume of lung power would suuVe to bridge the conversational gulf that yawns between two persons of different nationali ties who attempt to make themselves plain to each other in their respective tongues, "The gendarme gated at my husband with amaiemeiit. He undoubtedly thought that my husband was threatening him, and he suddenly hopped back a couple of paces and gave a iwuhar whistle, which was im mediately answered by a enuple of other gendarmet who came running around the corner from a schnapps shop where they had been regnlitig themselves. My poor unreasonable husband wasn't a bit taken hack by their apieaninee, although I began to have visions of him being hi led off to a noisome dungeon, full of rats and hats and things, and of my being compiled to go on my kneea to tht American minister at The Hague to have hi in released, and of my fntndw in Washington rending of his I wing arrerted as a des.iernte character, and all thnt sort of thing. 1 tried to pluck at his sleeve and to get hitn to come away, but he put that inquiry as to the location of a restaurant to each of the other two gen darmes in a tone louder than he had em ployed before, and shook his fist at them when they pulled at their bristly little mus tachios and endeavored to look awe-inspiring. It was a nuraele that they didn't seue upon him and arrest him, but they didn't. He is, as you know, six feet three inches tall, and brvad in proportion, where as none of tht three gendarmes was much alove live feet in height, and that is per haps the reason they de -ided to make no attempt to molest hitn.
