OUR SHORT STORY A MATTES OF INSTINCT. ^ate tra« a cat, and Leonard Herrick wm 4 ^ouae. There had been some rare sport, Herriok was of the opinion that it could Jast much longer. He had mil this way that way, and a thousand times he bad c*€d that he was going to escape. But the velvet paws with the long, sharp J** "pringing out of them, had caught him iu time. So, at last. l»e lay still, pant- not knowing which way to turn. 't, "'a.a in a big city, all alone. The people r«*hed by him were like the thoughta whirled through his brain; they were 1^ and the everlasting train of them j*10 beginning nor end. He could not dis- "ie pda' men and women whom he those whom he merely remembered, again there appeared in the throng of the dead he did not mind those, were c>thers that he thrank from, fen 6 mtli hi* Lack against th« iron C(> front of Trinity Church. ^^era just light enough in the western lojj to ^Ve the pile of »tone a shadow, which! hurrjing thousand*, who did not hands were in his pocket*. He a crackling piece of paper which v ^at be could live several day» longer, <*r*l to do ao. Sa to 4 BMH« extended future, he could not picture it. All the line* of his life seemed to end in a knot, which could by no means be untied, but must merely be dropped. He remembered that there were miracles, hut he could not think of one to wish for. From three o'clock till four the crowd in that part of Broadway is rich and prosperous from four to five it boasts of wealthy connec- tions, and takes a strong interest in life after five it loses caste rapidly, and by six it is a lot of weary people going home to supper. Herrick felt the degeneracy of the throng without really seeing it. If a whole street full of people could get shabby in an hour, waa it any wonder that ho had done it in firo years T He crossed Broadway and walked down Wall-street, slowly and with hesitation, for ho had no errand. A voico cried: "Gab, sir almost in his ear. He turned and looked up at the man on the box. "Is it possible," he said to himself, "that I still look like a gentleman?" He felt toward the cabman as toward one who had given him a helping hand. Why not pay the debt ? To do so would coat him only a day of his life. He had a £ 1 bill in his I pocket. J "Yes." be said; "take me ir ta the Fifth Betol." It was the first place that had come ilk, t hie mind. ,He got into the oab, and xnapn t the door. The seat ^d the co^ j fortable support for his head were very 'h freshing.. A fancy came to him that he wou^ A dine decently and then go ^o a. t «itre. Th^ a extravagance would be ] really of small importance wrhether he starry t to death on Sunday or on the following Wed, nesday. He was in a to make a J6st of it all.. < A strong glare from an electric light struck down into tiie carriage, and mad<e yosible to 5 him a package in brown PaPe^* at ooked as f if it might be a sandwich. The object pro- ( truded from under the $Oat- TIe thought it h 1 must be the cabman's supper ^h had been ] hidden in some smaller locker and 'had fall€n upon the floor. The idea that the food should j be spoiled was disagreeable to He"Jck. and so he picked up the little brown bundle. It was smaller than he had supposed and it did not feel like bread. But had it been food, and he at the last pang of starvation, the touch of it would not have sent such a thrill through all his frame- He knew that the contents vi that package was money. It felt like a ulam of bills folded, awkwardly wrapped up, and fastened with elastic bands. Through the brown covering HeiTick could feel the crispness of the Govern- ment paper. Tho .mount might be a poor > at.1 r,r a rich man s profit mans monthly "rages, 01 1 on a great trans»cti(Mi. As to his own conduct in this Tmtter, Her- on a great trans»cti(Mi. As to his own conduct in matter Her- rick had no doubt whaler. thro^ HMMar •o* Fate BttwekiJ 'r .?. ake it away; but not if he could hold on ightly enough. His fingers trembled as he licked at the elastic bands. Suddenly, and vithout his knowing why, the rubber strings ranished with a loud snap that startled him md th-e package sprang open on his knees. 3e caught a flash of green colour, and then ;he cab rolled out of light into shadow. It seemed a long time before another light rtruck in upon him. At the moment when it lid so he saw a face close to the oab door, md he dodged back, covering the bills with ais hands. But the chance passenger on the street saw nothing; he was thinking of his )wn affairs, no doubt, and had no inkling of the strange thing that had passed so dose to lis eyes. Herrick was himself again in a moment, and ie bent forward, eagerly scanning the bills in tiis hands, and counting them feverishly, riiere were forty of them, and each was of iha denomination of £ 200. Throughout the later period of the young ban's misfortunes he had had substantially lut onA -ish-to rest. Rest has many forms, uited to a vast variety of individual tastes. •0 Herrick in his day dlreams it had always t,ken the form of travel, without care. All IVths lie open for a man who has £ 8,000. and ^ero is no reason why care should sit behind ;^YI as he rides. Herrick had only the most shadowy thought fQ the person who had lost this money. He di, not even speculate upon the manner of loss. It had come into the control of one 'W\ needed it, and that was enough. to disposed the ootea in hW pockety, in the ii best interests of comfort and safety. Then he folded up the brown paper and pocketed that also, with a dim consciousness that, if it were left in the cab, it might get the driver into trouble. The fellow was honest, no doubt, and Herrick did not wish that he should suffer a wrong. He preferred to keep the wrapper himself, and take the risk of it until he could find some means of disposing of it that would be safer than throwing it out of the cab window. How to leave the cab was a question which concerned him nearly. He did not wish to confront the driver again, for there might be an investigation, and a question of identifica- tion might arise, in which case it would be well to have the man know as little as pos- sible of Herrick's personal appearance. He reflected with satisfaction that the spot on Wall-street, where he had entered the car- riage, had been rather dark. The cab stopped suddenly, its path being blocked, by a tangle of vehicles. Herrick softly put his hand upon the catch of the door. it yieldied noiselessly; the door swung open- Herrick stepped out. Turning back for an instant, he perceived the cabman sitting upon his box, in entire unconsciousness of the fraud that was being practised upon him. He was a poor man, and doubtless worked hard for all the money that he received. Still, it was reckless to attract his attention again, espe- cially so after havaig left the cab in that strange manner. There was a way to tiie sidewalk through the press of vehicles. Herrick saw it from tita corner of his eye* aZid was abda tQ take advantage of it. Instead, to his surprise, he found himself turning toward the cabman, and immediately he heard his own voice saying: "I have decided to get out here. How much do I owe you ?" The cabman named his price, and Herrick paid him with the five-dollar bill which had been the sum of his wealth, and the end of it so far as he could see, so short a time before. He counted his change carefully, remembering that he would probably have to wait until the next day before he could break one of the thousands. Enough remained to him from the bill for a supper, a bed, and a breakfast. When he had found a restaurant he ordered a meal, and ate it with relish. It was en- chanted food. It was the fare of an Atlantic liner, the delicacies of European hotels, and the fruits of the tropics. He cared little for his bed. It would be no more than a place to lie and think of the future. It was many a night sinoe he had really slept. Certainly, with 80 much upon his mind, he would not sleep this night, even if be should try. So when he had been shown to his room in a hotel, he piled his pillows against the headboard of the bed and reclined against them, fully dressed. He was very happy. No question of right or wrong in what he had done or what he expected to do OAme to torment him. For a long time he had borne his life like a tremendous burden. This had suddenly slipped from his shoulders, leaving his natural powers benumbed. In the midst of his first vision of a new life he was aroused by a knr-king at the door. He started up^ liis legs 41ld haidly support him; he had no voice with which to ask who was there. But one explanation was possible; he must have been watched by the police. He tottered to the door and gave utterance to a hoarse inarticulate sound. "Eight o'clock, sir," cried a voice without. "You asked to be called, sir." He rushed to the window and flung open the shutters. Day streamed in, strong and beautiful. The gas flame paled. He knew that he had slept as he had not slept before in years. In the mysterious depths of his life he felt a new strength stirring, but it was only nascent as yet. A bath and a breakfast revived him still more. He felt the exhilaration of a busy day upon which he was entering. He scanned the papers, but so far as he could see they had no news of the money that had been lost. He was not conscious of any excitement in search- ing for that news. The fear of detection had quite left him. Of all stolen goods, money is the hardest to recover. Presently he found himself riding down town in an elevated railroad train. He was going to a steamshop office to arrange for his journey; then to a broker's for a traveller's cheque book. His pockets were bulging with money, but there was something in one of them that he couldn't remember to have put there. He pulled it out, and found it to be the brown paper wrapper that had contained the money. As he held it in his hand it was concealed by his rwspaper. No fellow-passenger could see it; and that was doubly fortunate because, in plain sight upon the paper waa a luura aid address:—"Herbert L. Graham, 40 Wall- street." The train was just stopping at Rector-street. That was the station nearest the steamship offioe. Throwing the brown paper back into his pocket, he left the oar and went with the throng down the street. He was thinking about the accommodations he would choose on the steamer. He continued to think of that and kindred subjects, yet he turned north on Broadway instead of south. Presently he found himself asking an elevator boy in a big building if he knew where Mr. Graham's office was. Mr. Graham happened to be in his outer office when Herrick entered. He was pouring a story into the ear of another grey-haired Wall-street man, and Herrick heard a few words of it—something about cabs, and cash, and carelessness. I "I have found the money that you lost,' said Herrick. "Here it ie." "Zion!" cried the banker, clutching the bill- in his fingers. "My dear fellow, tell me all about it." "There's nothing to tell," replied the young man. "I merely found it in the cab." Mr. Graham eyed him a moment in surprise. "You take it coolly," he said. "I couldn't take it at all," responded Her- rick, with a feeble smile. "I don't know why. It was instinct, I suppose. My ancestors must I have been honest men." 4 "Upon my word, you must take one of these notes," said the banker. "I've offered it in an ad. and1 "I can't do it," said Herrick. "I don't feel it to be right." "But, my dear boy," exclaimed the old man, kindly. "I must do something for you. I want to; believe me. At least come back and take lunch with me. Shall we say one o'clock ?" "It will give me great pleasure," said Her- rick; and, bowing, he turned away, and walked out of the office.
