A FAIRY OMNIBUS.
I I think everybody gets n touch of ro-
I
some time in his life. The
lre, n glade of olden days is probably
Lnlaced bv a busy street, your armor

Lat and silk hat, your distressed damsel
L a practical, level headed, energetic
little typewriter, perhaps. The actors
Le changed, the scene is changed, but.
Lflieve me, the element of romance is
lust the same us it was in the days of

Lelieve that a bald headed, middle aged,
Lout old solicitor like me—getting ev-
Lv day more engrossed in business, ami
Lcre and lucre apt to be a trifle crusty
Enny temper, owing to a tiresomo liver
Lwac ever sufficiently "inteiepting” to
play the part of a modern knight errant.
K Let me tell you all about it, and how
¡tended. It’s commonplace enough, I
toow, »nd I dare say most of you have
p-ne through something similar, but if
it does nothing else it may perhaps serve
to stir up pleasant memories.
I had nearly completed my articles,
and was reading hard for my “final,”
when one morning the firm told me to
go to a client who was ill and take in­
structions fcr her will.
Sho was an old maiden lady living in
Paddington, and our people had trans-
acted all her business for her for some­
thing like 40 years.
It was a wet day—one of those days
that we get from timo to time in Lon­
don, when you feel as if you would like
to go to bed and not get up again until
things have changed.
Holborn was like a little river, und
the traffic slopped and splashed along in
a way that made you feel dump even to
watch.
1 stood on the curbstone waiting for
a chance to cross without being smoth­
ered with mud, when I noticed u girl
standing near me. She, too, was trying
to cross.
It was very funny to see her. She was
evidently from the country, and didn't
stall understand the Loudon traffic.
Three times the started, and three times
she turned back in despair.
I watched her with interest. There
was an amusing expression of good tem­
pered misery on her face. She was pret­
ty-very pretty—and daintily dressed,
and—well, I seized my opportunity like
an articled clerk who is worth his salt
is bound to da
“Excuse me,” I said, raising my
hat, "but I think you want to cross the
toad."
She looked rather startled.
“I think I shall get on all right,”
she answered, “if you would kindly
tell mo when to start ”
"Suppose we try together? Give me
your arm. ”
She did not give me her arm. 1 took
it, and we started on our pilgrimage.
In and out the cabs and omnibuses I
guided her safely until wo got to about
the middle of the road, which, as you
know, is very wide opposite Fnrnival’s
inu Suddenly she limped and gave a
fanny little hop
“I'm very sorry, ” she said, laughing,
"but—I’m afraid my shoe has come
df It stuck in the mud. ”
I looked around. Sure enough, a few
yards behind us was a shoe lying in
the mud, looking very lonely and get­
ting horribly wet
"Can you stand here for a moment, ”
■•id, “while 1 fetch it?”
I left her there, standing on one foot,
ritb the tip of a little stockinged toe
touching the ground to steady her.
A cab driver who happened to pass

THE WOflDE^ OF SCIENCE
I climbed down the ladder with which
buses in those days were furnished.
There she sat in the corner, half
roiling, half blushing. There was no-
body else inside.
“Won’t you get wet if you go out­
ride? she Raid.
“I via afraid yon might think I was
a nuisance, ’ ’ I answered.
, "f,£,ne“ed as ranch,” she said frank­
ly. 'But it would be a very poor return
for yocr kindness if I drove you into
consumption.”
1 think that upon the whole that was
the most delightful bus drive in my ex­
perience. The conversation flowed in a
torrent, and I believe we exchanged as
uiauy confidences uud opinions in half
an hour as some people do in a life­
time. It was wonderful. It was like
touching by accident the hidden spring
of some secret door which opened into
a new atmosphere, anew fairyland. We
were more like old friends than chance
acquaintances, and it seemed as if
neither could tell tho other too much.
Points of agreement and disagreement
were noted eagerly. We had read the
same books, visited the same places, und
wherever we turned there was new
ground of sympathy.
She had only been in London a week
and had not visited any place of amuse­
ment. I wondered if I could find a
chance here of pushing my advantage
aud approached the subject with deli­
cacy and caution.
But at this poiut it seemed that the
mutual confidence stopped, for she de­
clined to understand my tactics and re­
marked that her time was too fully oc­
cupied to go about much.
Only too soon we reached the place
where I had decided to alight. We
shook hands warmly and thanked each
other rather vaguely aud nervously,
aud then I found myself once more ou
a nasty, wet London pavement
I had had a glimpse of fairyland, but
it was only a glimpse I was back
again in the practical, uncomfortable
world, with a living to be earned and a
will to make.
The gates of fairyland were closed,
for. like a donkey, I had omitted to
find out the fairy’s name aud where sho
lived.
It seemed impossible to bring one’s
mind back to the legal subtleties of
willmakiug, but it had to be done, and
I trudged heavily ou my way to our
client’s house, finding, to my infinite
disgust, that I had got out of the omni­
bus much sooner than I need have done.
Imagine my surprise when, ou reach­
ing the house and being shown into the
dining room, I found there the heroine
of the lost shoe.
That settled it.
I ft It that heaven had decided I was
to marry that young lady, and I formed
the pious intention then and there of
giving heaven every possible assistance
and made such a delightful hash of her
aunt’s will that it required some six or
seven visits to put matters straight
Curiously enough, though, from tho
moment we met in the house her friend­
liness ceased. Every time I came she
was more cold and distant, and I was
almost in despair. The conversation
which had flowed so merrily in an un­
comfortable omnibus seemed impossible
over the dining room fire, and she re­
fused to go beyond the most common­
place civilities.
She calmly ignored that drive, which
I had found so delightful, and treated
me with ordinary politeness due to the
representative of her aunt’s solicitors.
The position grew desperate, because
[couldn’t continue to make blunders
over the old lady 's will forever. Already
the firm had reprimanded mo for stu­
pidity, though, to be sure, the old lady
herself bore with me with wonderful
patience and good temper.
The crisis came.
It was wy last visit about the will,
which was now ready-—absolutely cor­
rect_ and the dear old creature had ap­
proved of every word of it
It only required to be executed. She
said she would like her niece and me to
be the witnesses, and as she was ranch
better and able to get up we assembled
solemnly in the library. But she was a
fuuny old character and scouted the
idea of solemnity, ringing the bell for
the servant to bring up some champagne,
so that we might drink “success to her
will ”
I’m thankful to say that, though 1
was by this time helplessly in love with
the niece, I had sufficient pres, nee of
mind to say, “Success to the w.ill. and
may it never have to be P™™1' w*‘lc“
pleased her immensely, and
1
left I was invited to dinner the follow-
*DFnun that moment things went pretty
smoothly, though it was only iast even­
ing that in talking over our
days in the far away past my wife ex
pl fined the meaning of her extraordi­
