The Misdirected Letter,
By TIMOTHY C. DICK.
[Copyright, 1909. by American Preaa Asso
ciation.]
Abuer Simmons entered his ffachelor
apartment after returning from busi
ness, sighed, sat down In au easy chair
and felt very lonely. Presently he
looked up at the muntek and there
stood a letter. It was addressed In a
woman's hand to Mrs. Aimer Simmons.
To .Mr. Simmons this address was a
mockery. It suggested a home, a
pleasant looking woman tripping down
stairs at hearing her husband's latch
key In the door, followed by a troop of
girls aud boys; a connubial kiss and
several pairs of little arms around
papa's neck.
All this Mr. Simmons saw in the ob
long letter addressed to her who was
not. Of course there was a Mrs. Sim
mons for some man of the same nuu*e
as himself; but, alas, there was no
such person for him! What should 'je
do with It? He took It down from the
mantel aud examined It closely. A
hand was stamped on It with Its fore
finger |K>lntlng to "Try this" and "Try
that." There were so many of these
suggestions "to try" that Mr. Sim
mons lielleved the letter had been the
rounds aud no Mrs. Simmons found.
How could she be found since she did
not exist? He determined to make a
dead letter office of himself, open It
and return It to the writer.
Mr. Simmons took out a letter and a
card photograph. The photograph was
that of a woman from thirty to thirty
five years old, and as he looked It
seemed to be the face of her whose re
ception of him had tilled his fancy.
The letter was signed. "Your loving
sister." The address was given, and Mr.
Simmons put It In another envelope,
with a brief note stating his motives
in opening it and asking for Informa
tion of Mrs. Abuer Simmons and how
she happened to exist without his be
ing any better for her existence. Ho
wished to keep the photograph, but
did not feel authorized to do so. He
addressed It to the street and number
given in tbe letter.
In about a week a reply came. The j
writer said the name on the letter was j
not Simmon*, but Timmeus. (After all. j
there was no Mrs. Simmons.) Tbe l>ho- j
tograph was a likeness of Miss Marga
ret Butterworth. Tbe writer. Miss !
Cornelia Boyd, was transmitting It to
Mrs. Tlmmens. The letter concluded
with thanks for the favor Mr. Sim
mons had done the writer.
Just what Mr. Simmons had said in
his note about the photograph does not
appeur, but Miss l$oyd must have no
ticed something of admiration and
been ready, as most women are, to
help out a romance, for she was not
called upon to mention the picture, as
she did. Mr. Simmons wrote again,
asking If Miss Butterworth were re
lated to James Butterworth. an emi
nent divine and an uncle of the writer.
A reply came that Miss Boyd could
not answer the question and gave Miss
Butter worth's address.
Mr. Simmons cooked up quite an In
genious letter to Miss Butterworth. |
After mentioning that he had seen her j
picture and how he came to sec It he ]
said that the features were remarka
bly like those of tbe Rev. James But
terworth, his esteemed uncle, and he
was sure that he (Simmons) could
claim her for a relative, probably a
first cousin. He received a polite reply
that the lady bad no such relative and
had never heard of any such person.
This was not surprising to Mr. Sim
mons, whose knowledge of the rever
end geutlemau was precisely that of
Miss Butterworth. The clergyman -was '
an Invention.
The genealogical plan having failed, :
Mr. Simmons wrote again to Miss I
Boyd, frankly stating that he would |
be interested to meet the original of I
the photograph and asking If in tho
kindness of her heart she would sug
gest a method for tho purpose. All
the world loves a lover, and Miss Boyd
gave hi in a list of-half a dozen friends
of Miss Butterworth, any of whom
might introduce him provided they j
knew him to be a gentleman.
Meanwhile Miss Boyd had put her j
friend on to the fact that she had an
unknowu admirer, and It was Miss |
Butterworth who suggested the names j
of the possible Introducers. One, and
only one, of the names was known to
Mr. Simmons, and he was a member
of Simmons' club. Tbe attentions Mr.
Simmons suddenly began to shower
upon this man were only understood
when 11 request came for the Introduc
tion.
It was an advantage to Mr. Sim
mons' cause that for several months
Miss Butterworth was cognizant of the
fact that she had an unknown admir
er. Her fancy during this time was
feeding on Mr. Simmons' personnel.
Miss Boyd, whose misdirected letter
had led to this possible romance, made
Inquiries about Mr. Simmons, found
friends who knew him and pronounced
him a good man. This Miss Boyd ex
aggerated Into "a noble, good man."
Miss Butterworth, too, was on the
shady side of thirty and not unwilling
to meet her fate. Before the Introduc
tion she had been given Mr. Simmons'
antecedents, his buslusss and social
standing by her friend, who asked
permission to do the introducing. All
that remained was to see Mr. Sim
mons.
When she did see lilm the impression
was so favorable that the way from
this point was made easy for him. He
proposed to her the evening he met
her, she gave an answer tantamount
to an acceptance, and they were mar
ried in due time.
And now the fancy excited by the
supposed name of Mrs. Simmons (who,
after all, has little or nothing to do
with this story) is betng rapidly ful
filled.
THE KISS. \
*
By L0UI8E B. CUMMINGS.
[Copyright, 1909.'' by American Press Aaio
?r elation.]
They met oil the transcontinental
train going went. He started from
New York, and she got on at Omnba.
She was a dashing girl. lie was a
bit of a swell In fancy waistcoat
and light gaiters over his shoes. She
sat near blm In the parlor car, and
when the conductor took her ticket
and let It down like the steps of a
coach of 175X? he saw that she wa9
booked for Sun Francisco. He was
going to San Francisco himself.
He wished he nad some one to In
troduce hfort, but he hadn't. In a little
while, though, something funny oc
curred, and she smiled, happening to
catch his eye at the same time. He
hadn't been used to having eustern la
dles smile at him on a train. He
couldn't make this one out.
They were crossing the alkali plains,
and there was nothing attractive to
look at. Even the river Platte, devoid
of a fringe of bushes on Its bauks,
was bereft of beauty. He couldn't
stand It any longer. He took liis news
paper and novels, dumped them on the
seat beside her, lifted his hat, threw
open his coat the better to show the
pattern of his waistcoat and said:
"I shall be pleased if you can Dud
anything among those to help you
while away the time In this desolate
region."
"Oh, I don't wish to read!" she said.
"I've had enough of books lately. I'd
much rather talk."
She took up the papers and put them
on the opposite seat. He sat down
beside her.
He was quite ustonlsbed at the ease
with which the acquaintance had been
made. Since he had never thus made
a lady's acquaintance before it was
natural tliui .ie should be a little sur
prised.
There was au added zest lu finding
her out? plenty of difficulty in it. And
it was an adventure much to his lik
ing, although he rather suspected that
Hhe might turn out to be an adven
turess or a ladylike pickpocket. She
was fairly well educated, made no slips
in grammar, used no slang, but he had
not been conversing with her an hour
before she treated him as if they had
been introduced, and at the end of
twenty-four hours' acquaintance like
an old friend.
And he was astonished at himself
for the confidence he committed to
her. He told her lie had a chum liv
ing In San Francisco who was about
to be married. lie was going out
there to be his friend's best man. She
asked him a great many questions
concerning the couple who were to par
ticipate as principals? whether there
was a romance in it, how old the
grooci was, the bride. Was he hand
some? Was she pretty? Were they
rich or poor? She prattled and rattled
on till she had exhausted all he knew
about the groom and had made up all
he didn't know about the bride, which
was considerable. By this time she
knew that his own name was Scarbor
ough, his friend's name Wolford and
the bride's Merrlam. She was disap
pointed that he couldn't tell her the
bride's first name, though she wa*
sure it was Rosalie. When he asked
why she said It was because that was
the name she should have. He told
her that Charlie Wolford? after this
she always spoke of him as Charlie
was not a romantic chap, so he In
ferred that there wasn't much romance
in the case. She said she didn't be
lieve It? that she had never known a
Charlie that wasn't a good fellow and
JUBt full of love and lovableness.
What had Charlie told him about
Rosalie's looks? He couldn't remem
ber Charlie having written him about
that, but he was sure Charlie thought
her pretty.
When they reached the mountains
and the scenery became grand the girl
had become so interested In the man
that she did nothing but prattle to him,
leaving the canyons to waste their gor
geous beauty on some one else. She
treated him with as much unreserve
and unconventionally as If she had
been brought up with him. He could
only understand It on the assumption
that there was something Just a little
bit queer about her. However, some
thing, he knew not what, kept him
from acting on the assumption till
they were nearlng San Frunelsco.
Then when they were alone on the car
platform she put her red lips so near
to his that there was nothing left for
him but to take a kiss. Instead of
blushing or drawing back, she burst
into a merry laugh. Then he was
more mystified than ever.
He asked to see her to a cab when
they should reach the station, but she
told him that she expected friends
to meet her? very straltlaced friends
who would not like to see lier in com
pany with a man, so he must go away
by himself. He asked if he might call
on her, and she said he might. She
would see that he got her address.
When he saw his friend Wolford he
recounted his adventure. Wolford told
him he could not tell anything about
the western girls, they were so dif
ferent from eastern girls ? so unconven
tional. At that Scarborough stopped
?hort of telling about the kiss.
When Wolford took his best man to
meet his fiancee who should she be
but the girl on the train!
"Charlie," she said, her eyes dancing
with mischlel', "how came you to have
such a friend? Do you know he
scraped an acquaintance with mo on
the Journey and? he actually kissed
me!"
"Well, IH be Jlngedl" said Charlie.
"And I'll never trust any girl again,"
a&ld the best man.
