He Didn't Want to Seize the Op
portunity, but She Did.
By HARRIET LUMMIS SMITH.
[Copyright. l&>9. by Associated Literary
Press.]
"We've time enough yet to tako a
look at the city from the top of the Se
curities building. It's worth seeing,
you know."
Prudence should have vetoed the sug
gestion. For the longer half of tho
blissful afternoon Viola had been aware
that Raymond's eyes were saying more
than they should uud that their mute
eloquence was singularly sweet and
satisfying. Considering the fact that
she was as good as engaged to auother
man, discretion counseled (light. A
voice within, an authoritative voice,
cried out that at the best the day
would soou be over and urged her to
make the most of It. >
Viola compromised. "Mr. Raymond
suggests our getting a view of the city
from the top of one of the skyscrap
ers," she said, turning to her out of
town guests, "if you arc not too
tired"? And her heart leaped at tho
promptness of their protests.
She walked beside Raymond silently,
glad that he, too, seemed to have noth
ing to say. She was frightened to tlud
herself clinging so fiercely to tho Joy
of that afternoon together. IIo had
come upon them quite by accident, but
Viola knew that but for her he would
have lifted his tint and gone his way.
The gladness that leaped to her eyes
at the sight of him. the tremor In her
voice as she spoke Ills name, had
been his undoing? and hers. They had
I lunched aud taken a drive along the
boulevards. Viola's country cousins
had had the time of their lives. And
now the western sky was red, and the
time for saying goodby was near.
They stood looking down upon tho
city. Raymond, as In duty bound,
pointed out the objects of interest
The country cousins hang upon his
words and declared that they would
not have missed the sight for any
thing. As for Viola, she had no eyes
for the crawling streets between tho
steep cliffs of brick and stone nor for
the crawling creatures far below. Bra
zenly she feasted her eyes upon him.
lie turned suddenly and looked Into
her eyes, and his own caught fire. A
moment later they were standing to
gether in an angle of the roof, shel
tered from the view of their compan
ions. The uoise of the city below them
seemed far away.
Raymond broke the si>e!l by a down
ward gesture. "I wish It were all
j mine."
"You mean the whole towu? What
greediness!" she laughed.
"So that I could give It all to you."
"Thank you, but I'm not ambitious
to be a plutocrat. Of course ono must
have the things ono Is used to. Pov
erty Is the worst of all."
"Is It?" Ills eyes challenged hers.
"Oh. don't! You make it so hard for
me!"
"You make It hard for yourself when
you tight against your heart."
"Oh. you don't understand, Phil. It
Isn't as if I had only myself to think
I Ot"
"Do you ever give a thought to me?'
She put her hands over her ears In
sudden tremor. If she listened longer
she was lost. "I must go," she said
hurriedly. "I've stayed longer than I
should, but It was so pleasant." She
turned In a panic and tied across the
roof, and he followed slowly. When ho
overtook her her eyes were dilated.
"They're gone!" she gasped.
"Who?"
"Why. Leonard and Bessie. What
could have Induced them to go without
us?"
| "I don't know, I'm sure. But they
will be waiting for us l>elow without
J doubt."
He trkxl the door, rattled tho knob
sharply and met questioning her gaze
with a blank stare. "We're locked up
here." l:e exclaimed. Then as Viola
laughed hysterically he added In haste:
"Don't be frightened. It will be very
easy to attract some cne's attention."
Half au hour tr.!er, flushed and drip
ping with perspiration as a result of
his fruitless exertion, he acknowledg
ed bis mistake. "Your couslus must
have thought we had gone down be
fore them. Hut after they get home
l and we fail to make our appearance It
will of course occur to somebody that
we're still up here. And the only
thing to do is to resign ourselves to
wait with what patience we can mus
ter."
She looked at him reproachfully, but
he did not meet her eyes. Ho sat
some distance from her, staring moodi
ly at the roof. Furtively Viola put
back her veil and smoothed her hair.
Apparently her appearance was to him
a matter of complete Indifference. He
never turned Ills eyes.
Her sen ? < f resentment found voice
at last. ?? re you going to sit here In
absolute silence? Haven't you any
thing to say?"
"I have plenty to say, but I can't
say It without taking advantage of the
situation."
A long silence; then Raymond felt
the slipping of a small hand down his
*?(ceve. "I rather think, Phil," said a
rremulous voice, "that I want you to
take advantage of the situation."
Help was long lu coming. As the
darkness fell Viola drew closer, and
her hand stole Into his of Its own ac
cord.
It was a night without a star, and
for that reason It was the more star
tling when suddenly a blinding Illumi
nation lit up the space where they sat
Viola shrieked and hid her face on her
lover's shoulder.
"Only a searchlight, dearest. Itatlier
startling; on this pitch black night,
wasn't It?"
Viola blUBhcd In hla arms. "Phil,
do you supposo anybody? ?aw?"
The young uian smiled. "Perhaps,"
he acknowledged. "In. fact, little girl,
I rather hope somebody did."
Fifteen or twenty minutes later the
sound of approaching footsteps told
them that release was at hand. Ray
mond shouted. There was a sound of
a key turulug is the lock. A grinning
policemau and the watchman of the
building confronted them. Explana
tions were exchanged. The elevator
had stopped running at 6 o'clock, and
tho two young people descended tho
endless flights of stairs as blithely as
if they were walking on air.
Viola's home was In an uproar. The
story brought by the country cousins
had aroused grave suspicions, which
Viola's mother explained as sho clung
to her daughter.
"It couldn't have happened at a more
unfortunate time. To begin with, Mr.
Pickering was annoyed. He makes
such a hobby of punctuality, you
know. And then when Leonard and
Bessie came In"?
She raised her head from Viola'B
shoulder and looked sharply at tho
young man who had escorted her
daughter home. Raymond bore her
scrutiny in silence. It was Viola who
prompted her impatiently.
"Go on, mamma. When Leonard and
Bessie came in"?
"It was, of course, entirely absurd,"
declared Viola's mother persistently,
addressing herself to Raymond, "but
one must make allowances for a lov
er's natural Jealousy. When Leonard
and Bessie said that you had been
with them all afternoon and that you
and Viola had suddenly disappeared
the poor man Jumped to the conclusion
that you had? eloped."
There was an Impressive silence,
which Viola improved by removing
her hat.
"Of course we must explain at once,"
Viola's mother continued. "Would it
be better for you to phone him, Viola,
or will you send him a note? Perhaps
you had better phone him and say you
are sending the note. You see, It Is Im
portant that the matter should be
cleared up without delay."
"I don't know that It's worth while
to make explanations, mamma," she
said. "It is true I didn't have any ln
tcutlon of eloping; but, Just the same,
I'm going to marry Phil."
What W?ari?d Him.
A friend once asked nn aged man
what caused htm to complain so often
at evcntldo of pain and weariness.
"Alus," replied he, "I have every day
so much to do. I have two falcons to
tame, two hares to keep from running
away, two hawks to manage, a ser
pent to confine, a lion to chain and a
sick mau to tend and wait upon."
"Well, well," commented hlii friend,
"you are busy Indeed! But I didn't
know that you had anything to do with
a menagerie. How, then, do yon make
that out?"
"Why," continued tho old man, "11a
ten. Two falcons are my eyes, which
I must guard diligently; the two hares
nro my foet, which I must keep from
walking In the ways of sin; the two
hawks aro my hands, which I must
train to work, that I may provide for
myself and those dependent on mo as
well as for a needy friend occasionally;
the serpent Is my tongue, which I must
keep ever bridled lest it speak un
seemly; tho Uon Is my heart, with
which I have a continual fight lest
evil things come out of It, and th? pick
man Is my whole body, which la al
ways needing my watchfulness and
care. All this daily wears out my
strength."
Had th? Effect.
"Yes," she said In answer to some
thing ho had said, "the old songs are
very beautiful."
"Beautiful!" he exclaimed enthusi
astically. "Beautiful hardly describes
them. They are? they are? well, com
pared with them the songs of today
are trash, the veriest trash."
"I agree with you, yet the old songs
sometimes contain sentiments that one
cannot wholly approve."
"I think you are mistaken."
"I will give you an Illustration. There
Is John Howard Payne's 'Home, Sweet
Home,* for Instance. You surely do not
agree with all the Bentlmenta it con
tains?"
"Why not?" he asked warmly. "Why
not?"
"Because," she said, glancing at the
clock, which was marking the hour of
11? "because there Is a line In that
song which says "There's no place like
home.' You do not believe that, do
you?"
Then he coughed a hollow cough and
arose and went silently out Into the
night
8K0 U 80 Sandtlv*.
"I wish some persons weren't so all
fired sensitive and ready to see an In
sult when none Is Intended," remarked
the man with the troubled look, look
ing for sympathy. "Now, last night I
got myself Into an awkward fix Just
trying to be agreeable and to please
everybody. I went to see a young
lady I think a great deal of? yes, I do
think a great deal of her, bat I wish
she would be more sensible. Girl
friend of hers was there, and it was
her first visit since she'd sent a crazy
looking, good for nothing decorated
cup and saucer with scalloped edges
as a birthday gift
'"When I was out shopping,' tho
girl friend explained, 'and saw that
cup and saucer I just thought of you,
Marguerite.'
" 'How? Hand painted, isn't it?"
"Now, the recipient's complexion Is
natural, as any one can see, and there
was no reason for her to be so chilly
toward me the rest of the evening.

A BISMARCK STORY.
Playing the Rolo of Coutin Was Juit
to Hla Liking.
In bis university days Bismarck was
as Jolly and boisterous as tbo least
promising youth of bis generation. Ac
cording to the author of "The M. P.
For Russia," tie enjoyed duuclng and
alnglng better than study aud was as
lull of fun as his chosen companion.
Count Keyseriing, was deficient in it,
and on this difference In temperament
hangs a tale.
Ouo day the shy and reserved Key
Betilng came to Bismarck In great agi
tation.
"What la the matter?" demanded Bis
marck.
"My mother writes that an nunt and
two cousins are coming for a week to
Berlin, and, as they arc very young
and Inexperienced, I must go about
everywhere with them, offering tbeni
all sorts of amusements. It Is most
annoying," groaned Keyseriing, "as I
have to prepare myself for examina
tions and havo no time for pretty coun
try cousins."
Blsinarck saw his chance and imme
diately Inquired:
"Have you ever seen these young
girls? Have they ever seen you?"
"Never In my life."
"Capital I Nothing could be better.
Let me be Count Keyseriing for the
time being, aud you become simple
Bismarck. Tou stay at home, and I
shall become a first class cicerone dur
ing all the time of their visit."
Keyseriing eagerly accepted the prop
osition. When the young ladles ar
rived, Bismarck met them as Keyser
iing and placed himself at their dis
position during their stay In Berlin.
Keyseriing buried himself In his books
and thought no more about it until tho
girls had gone home to the Baltic
provinces.
A week or two later he was discon
certed by receiving a letter from home
In which his mother expressed her
great delight In hearing from tho
young ladles and their mother how Im
mensely they had enjoyed themselves
and how very agreeable and kind their
cousin bad been.
"I am overjoyed," continued the fond
parent, "to hear from their description
that you have grown quite stout and
robust during your stay at Berlin."
