I HARDLY know tlio printer who lived in ttie next room ut Mrs. I Schweepe'* boarding home. That is ' to say I knew him intimately, when he had been imbibing, hut lie wns apt to forget me the next day. He kept very much to himself, except when lie hnd been celebrating, and then ho was apt to expand much. Hut, as the landlady said, it didn’t happen often, urn! Harrison wus regular in ids rent. Harrison —n man of flfty-llvo, perhaps, lean, nnd gaunt, and gray. Spoke with an English accent, too. He had been n gentleman, was one yet, in a way. Ills father, still alive, was a big nmn in England—a general or something like that, with a strlflg of letters after his name. He told me that —four times. lie was drunk each time, so he forgot afterward. Something that he had done in youth hnd exiled him from the life that should have been his. What It was, | Harrison didn't tell me. even when he was ilrunk. Bonjethlng’ unforgivable, 1 Imagine, according to his code. And for a quarter of a century he had been battered nnd buffeted by the waves of Amerlenn life, never acellmntlng himself, losing his British qualities without acquiring ours. It wus a tragedy. "He's known better days," said Mrs. Sohweepe of him. "I guess it’s the memory of them makes him drink.” Harrison never spoke directly of ills past, indirectly—when he was drunk and came overflowing into iny room at night—lie told me about the Towers, his ancestral home —I never could pronounce the name. He told me of Lord this and Lady that, who appeared and reappeared in the twisted thread of his story. And one dny—l hoped—l should be able to piece it together. Then came one memorable night, ''lie’s hnd n letter,” Mrs. Schweepe said to me, "and lie's drinking himself howling drunk over it. Keep him quiet if you can tonight. Tomorrow I’m going to tell him I’ll have to rnUe ids rent.” Yes, Harrison certainly was drunk that night. He came Into my room, staggering. Rut he wasn't noisy drunk. ■ There was a quiet satisfaction In him. “Barlow," lie said, “you been goo’ i friend to me. I'in going back to England. Know m.v name? Sir Henry Harrison." He laughed. “Old mini’s dead. I'm going back to” —•otnetldtig —''Towers.'' ■Have n h—l of a time now, old Barlow. All that's coining to me. Five thousand a janr. Take you with me, ole Barlow, liecMUSc you've lieen goo' friend of mine. And listen!“ lie told me of a girl who had promised to wait for him. He wns sure [ she was waiting still —site hnd sworn she would—though he bad never writ- ' ten or hoard from her in all these I years. An old woman—but lie thought of her ns a girl. "You come along, be bailiff of my e»state. Barlow, ole man.” he hiccoughed, | at he pnsMst out. He anna- n little Unit night, hut wns more quiet than of wont. I went to business mst day and forgot him. The landlady iqieneil the door to me In the evening, “lie's very 111," alio i said. "The doctor says he drank ' enough bootleg whisky to |si|son a regiment, lle'a asking for yon." I went up to Harrison's room. He lay »n the bed. A strangely aristocratic look had come upon ids white (nee. He lay there With glassy eye*, lie v.a» too fur gone to recognize n»e. Mrs. Schweepe came to ttie door. “The doctor thinks he'll die,” she wills- j I»ered. 1 llarrlson did die- at five o’clock tlio next morning. 4He<! without recogtilx- ! i Ing me* *o I lost that Job as bailiff nt . Something Towers. Died murmuring 1 one name sirr nnd over: '‘Edith,” And then, "I’m coming, Edith. I’m coining home, I guess." And then, "Forgot, Mustn't any ‘gins*' in the old Omntrf." I saw him. when I hnd closed hi* rye*, lying on the bed with that strangely iirlstoerati# look on Id* suer. I hunted for Hie letter afterward, but there wa* no aign of It. There were a few charred nnd unintelligible fragmeni* In Ihe wimtrbu*ket. Harrison'* body was neter claimed, lie wa* burled at m.v e*tM*n*e, to wave Idm from the (Mitter's Held, and Sir*.
