Walking 011 mi uvea Be In Washing
ton I mot a lady whoso appearance at
traeted mo. She suddenly Mopped,
looked down and blushed to the roots
of her hnlr. Ilor skirt had bniHM
unloosened nt the waist.
"Can I do anything for yon?" 1
asked.
She looked wildly about her fur a
plan and finally caught one "Have
you a pin or a bit of string in your
pocket?" Rhe asked

meant, "Proceed on your way."
If I had not happened to have that
piece of cheap rthbon In my pock
et, if that lady's skirt had not liecoine
unloosened at the exact moment I
passed her, I would now be surround
od by an entirely different environ
ment
While I was sufficiently Impressed
with the y'oung lady's ap[>onrance- her
face was one that I would not easily
forget? the Incident soon passed out of
my mind. Several mouths passed. One
day 1 made a business trip to Phliadel
phia and on my return was sitting
in a train waiting for It to move out
of the stntlon. Hurrying along outside
was the girl I had assisted In her dlffi
culty. aud on her corsage was a bit of
com colored ribltoti tlcvl in a bowknot
At that moment the train l>ogan to roll
slowly on its wheels.
Two conflicting emotions stirred m*
?first I inferred that the girl In meet
ing me had met her fate and was

wearing the ribbon so that If we
should cross each other's path npnln 1
would recogntee her; second. It was
Impossible for mc to lenrn any thine
about where she might be found. 1
didu't know whether or no she lived
lu Philadelphia where 1 saw her for
the second time, whether she lived in
Washington or some different locality
from either. Why had I not left the
train and rushed after her? Because
I had but a few seconds to decide the
matter, and in that brief space of time
my mind was chiefly occupied with
reasons why I should not do that very
thing. My business required that 1
should reach home on that train. If
1 got out and followed the girl quite
likely I would lose her In the crowd.
A new element had entered into my
being. A girl had fallen In love with
me, so I believed, at first sight, and
was wearing a token by which 1 might
recognize her. Probably she lived In
the United States, In which at that
time there were more than 70,000,000
people. I lu>d no other Information
concerning her except that she was
wearing a bit of ribbon that had held
together a package of cigars. Was
not this quite enough to awaken In
me a strong desire to find her? The
romance of lovo Is fed by the imagina
tion. I lived, as it were. In air castles.
The girl wearing my ribbon was the
princess that the prince was hnnting
all over the world and to whom he
was at last led by the fairy. True,
my first meeting with my princess was
especially unrocaantlc. Nevertheless I
wished that some kind fairy would
conduct me to her.
One day I told my friend Calkins
about my adventure, rie listened to
me with great Interest till 1 had fin
ished. then exclnltned:
"So you're the man that was wanted
by "Corn Colored Ribbon!" "
"What do you mean?"
"Some months ago? 1 don't know
how long? I was reading the personals
in a newspaper and came across one
signed 'Corn Colored Ribbon.'"
"Who? What? When? Where?" I .
exclaimed excitedly.
"Which one of those UD'ateillgable
questions do yon wish me to answer
first?" asked Calkins.
"All of them."
"I remember nothing but that a lad,
who had met with an accident adver
Used for the address of a gentleman
who bad assisted her, and the addrew
Tras signed as 1 have told yon."
"Calkin*," I Mid fiercely. "yon *1W
remember In what jmper and when
jron saw that a?l. nf die."
?Thru my doom la sealed." laughed
Calk Ins. "for I can remetnlwr ortlbar."
Could there l>e anything more tan
talizing- -a lovely woman trylnu lo find
me, I trying t? And tier, and all our
efforts avortiHl?
"Oh. why liar# I not read all the
personal*." I cried. "In all the pn|>or*
every day?"
"ileciuise y <>it ntMifl have don# any
thing el**." replied Calkin*. "and, not
having time to make a living, yon
would have starved tn death."
"Can't yon *nggi*st something?"
"Yen; forget nil flbuul It. A woman
who would ndviftlw like that is prob
ably an adventnrvM anyway."
"If yon say that itgnln I'll strong!#
yon."
"Truth crushed In the throat wonld
rise again."
"She la pure ns an angel. Come. old
man, toll me some way to find her ."
"I give It lip."
Several weeks passed In misery for
me, w hen In a Philadelphia newspaper
T read of the trial of a Miss Octavln
Morton which was soon to rotno off In
that city. She was neensed of hating
atolen some valuable gems while one
of a house party at a lady's eonntry j
sent. What was my astonishment to
see In a description of Miss Merton the
following words:
In her enrsag# ?h" wars a how of
or?ng? or corn colored rltitxm.

tomey In Philadelphia whom 1 know,
asking him to keep me posted as to
the coming off of the trial In which I
was ao deeply Interested. In reply I
re<*elvcd a telegram stating that It was
down on the calendar for the next
day. I went to Philadelphia that night
and the next morning ap|?earcd among
the s|?vlators in a lm< k s#al where I
would not Is1 olwefTed.
When the Reclined was led Into ronrt

for an outside coat whs buttoned over
ber chcst.
I listened eagerly to a stateincni of
the case made by the prosecuting at
torney. The girl was a member of a
house party; the Jewels were missed,
and ?he afierwnrd wore one of them
that the owner claimed was hers Miss
Morton's counsel claimed that it bad
for years been his client's property.
He also said that on the day the Jew
els were stolen she had taken a flying
trip to Washington, but since her o|>
Ject In going there was secret she had
kept a knowledge of her trip from
every one who knew her. "Were It
not for this secrecy, your honor." con
cluded the attorney, "we couM easily
have proved an alibi."
Jumping from my seat. I hurried
down to the rail, called for the attor
ney and In an undertone gave him
the polnta of my meeting with the
accused In Washington. He at once
put me on the stand and in n series
of questions drew ont my evidence
When he asked me for the date of this
meeting 1 was puzzled, but Anally re
called It as the day of an important
meeting to which I was going when
I met Mi*s Merton.
"IMd anything pass between yon and
the accused?" he asked.
"Yes, something passed between us
that will corroborate my story if she
atill possesses It. I gave her a bit of
corn colored rlbl>on."
With that Miss Morion threw open
her coat and displayed the token
There was anppressod applause
among the spectators. The attorney
pnt his client on the stand
"Why do yon wear that ribbon T he
asked
"I have worn It ever since I have
been accused, hoping that the gentle
man who gave it to me might see It
and by proving that I w-as tn Washing
ton on the day the Jewels were stolen
exonerate me. I also advertised for
his address, but received no reply."
Of conrse there was an acquittal
withont the Jury leavtng the box. I
was taken by Miss Merton'a counsel to
his client and introduced to her. I
had been mistaken In her object in
wearing the token, but If she had done
so for the reason 1 had supposed she
could not have given me a warnier
pressure of the hand or a look with
more heart In It.
"Just think." she said, "bad It not
been for yon I won Id have been con
victed r*
"It was a close call," said the attor
ney. who seemed as much relieved as
his client.
"Kate." t said, "had a purpose in
bringing about the very commonplace
accident that occurred Jnst at the mo
ment we met"
If my words referred to her vindica
tion the look I gave her In speaking
them referred to something beyond
That she understood my meaning was
evident from a blnsh.
And now I am back to what I said
In the beginning of this story with re
gard to those slight happenings which
will at times turn the whole course of
our lives. When Miss Morton's skirt
catnc anfastened I was a clerk In the
treasury department In Washington.
Now I am that lady's hnsband and the
father of her children. I reside la
Philadelphia and am a banker ther*.
What would I have been had not that
accident changed the conrse of my
life? Ponbtless a lone <13 bach tin*
a government clerk.
