THE SUICIDE OF A STREET. ‘ Fourth avenue —born and bred in the Bowery—staggers northward full of good resolutions. Where it crosses Fourteenth street ft struts for a brief moment proudly in the glare of the museums and the cheap theaters. It may yet become a tit mate for Its high born sister boulevard to the west, or its roaring polygot, broad-walsted cousin to the east. It passes Union Square; and here the hoofs of the dray horses seem to thunder in unison, recalling the trend of marching hosts—Hooray! But now comes the silent and terrible mountains —buildings—square as forts, high as the clouds, shutting out the sky, where thousands of slaves bend over desks all day. On the ground floors are only little fruit shops and laundries and book shops, where you see copies of ‘Littell’s Living Age' and G. W. M. Reynolds’ novels in the windows. And next —poor Fourth avenue —the street glides into a mediaeval solitude. On each side are the shops devoted to ‘Antiques.’ “Let us say it is night. Men in rusty armor stand in the windows and menace the hurrying cars with raised, rusty iron gauntlets. Hauberks and helms, blunderbuses, Cromwellian breast-plates, matchlocks and creeses, and the swords and dag-1 gers of an army of dead-and-gone gal-1 lants gleam dully in the ghostly light. j Here and there from a corner saloon (lit with Jack-o’lanterns or phosphorus), stagger forth shuddering homebound citizens, nerved by the tankards i within to their fearsome journey' down that eldrich avenue lined with the blood-stained weapons of the! fighting dead. What street could live inclosed by these mortuary relics, and trod by these spectral citizens in whose sunken hearts scarce one good whoop or tra-la-la remained? Not Fourth avenue? Not after the tinsel but enlivening glories of the little Rialto—not after the echoing drumbeats of Union Square. There need be no tears, ladies and gentlemen; ’tis but the suicide of a street. With a shriek and a dash Fourth avenue dives headlong into the tunnel at Thirty-fourth and is never seen again.” The above is an extract from “Strictly Business” by O. Henry, a collection of twenty-three tales published by Doubleday, Page & Company, at $1.20 net.
