THEIR LAST

By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ Copyright, 1003, by T. C. McClurt 44r,fr4Si, She had promised him the evening: a week before, and when he asked her where they should dine she had answered: "At our little French restaurant don't you remember? it will be like old times.'' Old times meant the days when they bad worked together as reporters on a local paper. That was two years ago. So tonight, down in the old fashioned southwest quarter of the city, they sat at one of the square tables. The low ceilinged room was presided over by a plump, kindly host. Apparently monsieur had not gained a single wrinkle in these two years! Ah, and here, too, came their old waiter, with one of those smiles of the waiter who is at the same time an old friend. Of course he didn't know anything about his patrons' lives during the past two twelvemonths. He assumed that they were married. "We have one of madame's favorite dishes tonight," he said, addressing Muriel. She flushed slightly. Presently the girl ceased her flow of light hearted chatter and began turning her cup about in a slow, mechanical fashion. "Billy," she said, "it has happened." She spoke in that soft, low tone worn7 "BIL.LT," SHE SAID, 'IT HAS HAPPENED. en use for words they feel will wound "Yesterdav Mr. Nicholas Broser asked me to become his wife." The man waited for the servant to remove some of the dishes before he answered, with a bitter laugh: "I suppose, the offer not being a to tal surprise, you gave him your de cision. Muriel?" "Now, don't be disagreeable. Did we not agree long ago to be sensible, you and I? We both love luxury so well that it would be a positive crime to dispense with it for the sake" "We've sold our souls for it!" the man broke in. "llow melodramatic!" exclaimed the girl with a little mock smile. "As a matter of fact, I'm to have a gorgeous automobile, a beauty of a yacht and more money than I, even I, can spend. So when he comes tomorrow night foi his answer I'm going to say yes. And you, Billy, when will you marry your heiress? You know, she think3 the world of you every one says so and you have only to ask her!" Mu riel spoke gayly, notwithstanding the sadness in her eyes. The man didn't seem to hear her question or her badinage. lie was watching a little stray curl which the draft from the open door was blow ing across her temples, and he was do ing battle with his thoughts. "Why haven't you Nicholas Broser's money?" Muriel remarked after a long silence. "I don't believe there is a man in the whole world so fitted to be the master of vast estates. Charles II. must have been like you, I think, ex cept that you have none of his vices." "Thanks." returned her companion listlessly, still watching the stray curl. "I don't like one bit to think that this is our last dinner, Billy; not one little bit." "Our last dinner!" exclaimed the man, forgetting the curl and suddenly seeking Muriel's eye. "Of course. I shall be true to Mr. Broser, in the letter at least." Her companion made no reply. Then Muriel went on in a light tone, as if she felt that silences were dangerous: -"Just fancy, we had decided to mar rypoverty and all. Instead of living the existences we are both fitted for we should have to settle down in a Har lem flat. Ugh! A Harlem fiat, with the proverbial goat browsing .around and doing stunts with the tin cans;a Harlem flat, with all the attendant miseries of 'JJ rides; a Harlem fiat, dec orated with cheap bric-a-brac" She broke off and began another sentence, playing idly with her mother's weddinp: ring. "But we do not know we cnnld make even a Harlem fiat look pretty. 1 saw a lot of bric-a-brac this morning, as dainty ns It was cheap. Nowadays poor people can have dainty things aswell as rich people if t!i;v have taste and a knack of developing resources Billy, I often think about that Harlem

XL V

Cat, and" She chanced to look up

from the ring, and the pain in the man's face stopped her words. "I never knew before that you liked to torture people, little' woman," be said. "I didn't mean 1 didn't suppose," sbe began; then she added softly, lean ing forward: "Anyhow, we can both remember. And. after all. Isn't a memory that will live better than a dead romance?" There was a suspicion of a sob in the girl's voice, and as she drew on her gloves Billy saw a glittering tear fall upou her hand. When he had received his check and paid the waiter, he rose abruptly and crossed over to lay Muriel's wrap about her shoulders. "You won't make it too hard for me to give you up?" whispered she as hi hand rested for one ' second imon her arm. He drew himself up proudly to Ms full six feet of height, and in a voice which she had never heard before he said masterfully: "Tomorrow morning I want you to be ready to go out with me. I shall call at 10 o'clock." "Where?" Muriel said, turning to look up at him. "To go where?" "To hunt that Harlem flat." he answered as he pushed back her chair from the table. Muriel adjusted the emerald fleur-de-Hs at her slender waist. Dark lashes, down swept, hid the gaze that Billy knew, but he saw the flush which surged quickly over her oval cheeks and brow. And he was satisfied. There, sitting at his pay desk, the plump, kindly host was busy making change for his waiters. As his two old customers passed him he looked up to give them a parting salutation, to hope that they had been served well, that they had enjoyed his bordeaux, that they would come often again. But, alas, it was necessary that monsieur's good intention should cover the deed. He had no chance to speak they did not look his way; they were engrossed la. each other. "Mon Dieu! How happy they seem! Marriage goes well with them." he thought to himself as he went on making change for another waiter. 4 - How the Baby Atislsts. Reader, gentle or otherwise, have you ever noticed how the young father end mother of a first baby carry on a conversation? If you have you must have wondered how in the world they managed to talk to each other before the baby became a member of the family. The following is a sample talk in a family of three, one of which trio is a baby a year old. Mamma (with infant on her lap) Baby, ask popper if he will div mommer ze paper. The paper is given. Papa Baby, ask oor mommer if she knows where popper's slippers are. "Tell popper his slippers are in the hall closet, girly baby." The 6lippers are found and put on. "Baby, has oo been a good 'ittle totkins today?" "Girly baby, tell oor popper dat oo's been de bestest. doodest. sweetest 'ittle popsy wopsy in the town, so oo has." "I'ze dlad to hear dat. baby. Popper's own daughter girly must always be dood as a doll." "Baby, now tell popper baby totkins is goin' sleepies and can't talk any more. By, by, popper I" "By, by, totkins!" Where Metals Boil. Krafft has determined the boiling point of certain metals by the use of vessels of quartz heated by an electric furnace. Zinc sublimes below 300 degrees and at 040 degrees distills fairly quick. The corresponding temperatures for cadmium are 322 degrees and 448 degrees. Selenium distills quickly at 380 degrees, tellurium at 550 degrees, boiling being observable at 535 degrees. Lead boils rapidly and distills at 1,100 degrees. Tin proves very refractory, no distillation occurring even at 1,100. At 605 degrees antimony sublimes slowly and at 775 to 7S0 degrees distills rapidly. Sublimation of bismuth commenced at 540 degrees; the sublimate assumed the form of drops at P30 degrees, and the metal boiled briskly at 1,050 degrees. A slight mirror of silver appeared at 1,090 degrees, and rapid vaporization proceeded at 1.340 degrees. Copper and gold boil at too high temperatures to be examined even in silica. With the former a slight amount of sublimate formed at 1,315 degrees; with the latter extremely little vapor arose even at 1,375 degrees, which is near the point at which the resistance of silica breaks down. Scientific American. The Gender of Arkansas. "The life of a schoolteacher would be sorely monotonous," said a teacher of a boys' school. "If lt were not for bis sense of humor and the really funny things which happen every day in the schoolroom. One day', for instance, I had up my smart class in grammar and set the boys parsing. I called to Moses, a colored boy, to parse Arkansas, and he said, 'Arkansas,' with emphasis on the second syllable. I corrected his pronunciation, and he went on: " 'Hark-en-eaw Is a noun, objective case, indicative mood, comparative degree, third person, passive and nominative case to scissors.' "'You haven't sajd what gender, Moses.' I remarked. "'Feminine gender,' quickly remarked my smart scholar. " 'Why. sir?' I asked, somewhat puzzled. "'Bncos it's got Miss Sonri on the norf. Louisa' Anna on the souf, Mrs. Sippi on the e st and ever so many more shemalps on the west.' "It was so well done 1 joined in and encouraged the laugh which followed the smart boy's humor."

A CHAT VvTIIi A POET

THE STORY OF AN INTERESTING EVENING WITH LONGFELLOW. llovr 'ExceiBlor," the "Wreck of the HeRperoi" uud the "Old Clock oa the Stuir" Came i-.o V.i-ltteii. "Tlie Bridsre" AVa lloru of Sorrow. I once wrote to the poet Longfellow asking him to give me some account of the circumstances under which he wrote "The Bridge" "I stood on the bridge at midnight" a poem which ac eminent English critic has called "the most sympathetic in this language." 1 received in return a cordial note from the poet in which he said, "If you will come over and pass an evening with me it wiil give me pleasure to tell you the history of the poem and also of any of my poems that may interest you." A few evenings later found me at the poet's door at his Cambridge home. He was then verging on seventy years, in the fullness of his experience and the ripeness of his fame. I was shown into a long, hail-like room, dimly lighted, in which were a broad table, antique furniture and a tall colonial clock. The poet was there alone. He arose to meet me and formed a striking and statuesque figure, with his kindly smile and long white hair and c?ju!. "And so you would like to know something about the inspiration of some of my poems what led me to write them?" he said when we were seated. "Well, you are very kind. "I will tell you first how I came to write the 'Psalm of Life.' I was a young man then. I can recall the time. It was a bright day, and the trees were blooming, and I felt an Impulse to write out my aim and purpose In the world. I wrote it for myself. I did not intend It for publication. Some months afterward I was asked for a poem by a popular magazine. I recalled my Tsalm of Life.' I copied it and sent it to the periodical. It saw the light, took wings and flew over the world. There you may see it written on a Japanese screen." He pointed to a high, richly ornamented screen which stood before a great fireplace. He added an anecdote which I have always regarded as a true picture of his soul: . "When I was in England I was honored by receiving an invitation from the queen. As I was leaving the palace yard my carriage was hindered by the crowd of vehicles. There came to the door of the coach a noble looking English workingruan. " 'Are you Professor Longfellow?' he said. "I bowed. " 'May I ask, sir, if you wrote the "Psalm of Life?-" "I answered that I did. " 'Would you be willing, sir, to take a workingman by the hand?' "I extended my hand to him. He clasped it, and never in my life have I received a compliment which gave me so much satisfaction. "I wrote 'Excelsior,' " he continued, "after receiving a letter full of lofty sentiments from Charles Sumner at Washington. In one of the sentences occurred the word 'excelsior.' As I dropped the letter that word again caught my eye. I turned over the letter and wrote my poem. I wrote the 'Wreck of the Hesperus' because, after reading an account of the loss of a part of the Gloucester fishing fleet in an autumn storm, I met the words 'Norman's woe.' I retired for the night after reading the report of the disaster, but the scene haunted me. I arose to write, and the poem came to me in whole stanzas. "The clock in the corner of the room," he went on, "is not the one to which I refer in my 'Old Clock on the Stair.' That clock stood in the country house of my father-in-law at Pittslicld, among the Berkshire hills." The great clock in the room was beating the air in the shadows as he spoke. I could seem to hear it say: "Tou jours jamais! Jamais toujours!" It was th'ese words by a French author that had suggested to him the solemn refrain: "Forever never! Never forever!" "Excelsior" had been set to popular music by the Hutchinsons when the poet met one evening the minstrel family after a concert in Bostou Music hall. "I have," he said, "another poem which I will send to you." He did so. It was the first copy of the "Old-Clock on the Stair." One of the family set the words to music. ''My poem entitled 'The Bridge,' " he said in effect, "was written in sorrow, which made me feel for the loneliness of others. I was a widower at the time, and I used to sometimes go over the bridge to Boston evenings to meet friends and ,to return near midnight by the same way. The way was silent save here and there a belated footstep. The sea rose and fell among the wooden piers, and there was a great furnace on the Brighton hills whose red light was reflected by the waves. It was on such a late, solitary walk that the spirit of the poem came upon me. The, bridge has been greatly altered, but the place of it is the same." Hezekiah Butterworth in American Author. Ills Ucouoiulcal Way. "My husband has strange ideas of economy." "How is that?" "Why. he seems to think he saves money by drinking so much at the club that Le has no appetite for breakfast." Chi caw Post. Always Gvt the Last "Word. "Say. pa," queried little Billy Bloobumpetv "what's an echo?" "Au echo, my son." replied the old man, with a siirh long drawn out, "i? the only thing that can flimflam a woman out of the last word." Lyre.
