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

for he Is so reticent regarding hla
Invn affairs Why. we have been mar
ried IS years, though were it not for
my son and daughter, both of whom
will soon be as tall as I am, I could
hardly realise It had been so long by
half," and again she laughed mer
rily. 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

"AGATHA MAYHEW."
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

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

I, and he fetrtned to get eruMtr and nture
out of tauence with tne lKur( uuiimrut-ted
fulkt who couldn't ietk KiikIimi evrry imlel
that we traversed. 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. However, they
linked arms and stepped back about six
paces and shook their fists at him and said
very guttural things in the IHitch lauguage

Minvereation, so to aeak. eaci wit.'i his j
keen mind tiled upon the other, tncli beot
upon proja--un witnout word sik ii simple
aicnwvaes as iiugnt reach the other's fallow
fronat-iouiness. Then they discovered, or
thought so, that the-e soundless waves of
thoUK'nt alwaya seemed to travel best when
exchanged while they faced each oU't-r with
back to north or south. That suggested the
idea of new exierimenta, and very aooa
I'arker in hit little dormer tower facing the
lorlh and llrevoort in the routh w indow ot
his rookery were radiating snort messages
thnt had no meaning beyond the undeni
ible proof of all their previous aunnisee.
Hut when the coeds got wind of these
weird doings they hegAli to worry tbt
friends. I.ievoort waa priwf against the
young women, but Parker, who waa a ten
der-lieart.ru, nnpre.ftioiiahie fellow, fell ni
love with Kate Caldnell, and made her a
wrt of side jtartner in their psycnicul re
searches. The odd part of in is waa thathei
uitroduclion into lite affairs of the two stu
Jents fVyie no breach in their relations,
and when poor I'arker fell ait-k with pneu
luorua Kate got s room in hm boarding
(louse so that s.ie could nurse h.m. Indeed,
ihe had hun moved irom his draughty eyrie
in the tovter, placed him in her own cozy
:ed and herself look possession of tiie sen
try box.
lirevoort would relieve Kate every night
and sit up who hia failing friend, and be
tween them they watched hunso assiduously.
.ol so much sleep and fretted so mucn that
tt last ti.ey were obliged to pive up ail
their university work and stand togetner, s
forlorn hope, against tne advancing, mer
ciless intmiler. I'arker was quite con
Mious for a lew days before he died and to
lirevoort, bending over him, be reiterated
lus simple wisiius. He wanted to be ere
nated; he had no near relatives, so Katt
mignt have some and lirevoort the rest of
us duet. S;ie was to have his books and
.he furnishings of his little room, and lire
roort was to keep the utensils and equip
menu of the studio.
"You're pretty good modeler now,"
whisgiered I'arker, smihluj ghastly. "Try
your hand on a bust of ma, take a death
mask, will you?"
He died that night with lirevoort and
Kate holding his hands. His claaunales
carried his eolhn to Hie furnace, and ui the
jays thereafter wlien they had reverently
divided his aines bhey tried to make a lair
livision of ioor I'arker s nugnty snare of
love and loyalty for tne.n Ihiiii. Hut tt wa
nearly a week after Ins going tliat they set
apart for eacn day a nine w.ien uie) mignt
resume their experiments. The dealli
ma.k was done. It nlood ghostly in lire
voort', closet, and biiie.nu u in a tiny wool
en box tne liiiiidlui nn4 i,t n.cnd.
Kate had taken possession ot tne little son
try box, and upon its narrow mantel shell
in a little silver jewel box lay the relics of
her lost lover.
The morning of the first day after their
renewed elforis to exchange messages thy
met on tne campus.
"Did you gat any messstjs?"' she sskvd,
frowning petulantly.
"No," ne aiiawered, looking furtively over
his upturned collar; "what was it?"
"I asked you to come over," her hp was
trembling; "queer, we never failed beo.re."
"Ves. uisqueer." Thea.afteran uwkward
pause, "1 snv. Kate, did you notice auy
thing wnile Jim were sending that n.c.v.-e;
"No-o. Tnat is, not just li.eii. 1 ii.id ti.at
little box of his as'ie. in my hand Minn 1
said 'come over.' 1 don't know where I laid
it afterward, but 1 can't find it."
They were mI. nt tor a moment, but be
fore tney pai ltd he laid a nervous hand on
her siee.e and said:
"We'll try it ig.im to-night at eight. This
time I'll send liie m.to.ige."
"All right," she wiu.pervd, without look
ing at hun, ana il.irl.i:. into the hall.
Hut wnen tiny n;.i .igam next mornuig
ami he asked her, Lewiuungly:
"Did you get my message, Kate?" she
looked up fruhteiied to hear him call her
"Ka.e," and then qui. Uy answered: "No,
Mr. lirevoort."
"Did anything odd happen while you
were sending your message?" she asked, let
ting her eyes stra) apprenrlisively over her
pallid face.
"Yea. Miss Caldwell," ond he laughed
pitifully with a note of tired inocke! in
his voice. "Yes, a very .mno) n.g thing
