[EY SPECIAL .A.RP..3-GE:\1ET-COrYRlGHT.] THE RETURN TO HIS I CHILD. By JOHN J. A'BECKET Broadway was absolutely deserted that Sunday. It was the seventh day of the drastic heat. Ever since he had landed from the steamer the insufferable temperature had made the great town wilt and gasp in intolerant rage as the sun held fiery orgy. All looked so different to the returned exile after his long drifting through foreign lands. He remembered the old aspect of the town too well not. to realise that the change was in itself. It was as if New York had dis- carded knickerbockers for trousers, frock coat. and a silk hat. The buildings were insolently high, and landmarks had vanished from long-time stations to others so much farther up town. There was something weird about this desolation of its main business thoroughfare at. high noon, even if it was Sunday. It gave I A funeral trailed by at a philosophic trot. the sense of a plague festering within the city confines. But what woncusr, with that maddening bitterness of the persistent heat? The very heaven reflected it in its colour. The cumuloui clouds were shrunken and had a parched snowiness, while the open sky was haggard in its withered blue. The wind that foreran the gathering cyclone swept the granite blocks clean of dust and flung it in swirls of black powder into his face till his eyes were stiffened and sore and his nostrils choked by the hot particles. A flag on top of a hotel near by was ironed out and crumpled into new folds so quickly by the simoon that it cracked with sharp sounds, as if a, giantess were shaking some monstrous sheet in the breeze. The mass of towering buildings that closed the vista loomed a dun yellow bulk above the murky vortices below. It was stupid to keep on to his goal, near as it was on Fifth-avenue. Noting a chop- house at hand with a familiar name-it had not stood on Broadway when he was a boulevardier of New York-he turned in at its door and took a seat at the partly opened window. Perfunctorily he ordered a glass of cracked ice with some Scotch and a siphon. The storm was already gushing from the wrack of indigo clonds. As the cooling sheets of water fell the thunder bleached forth; a big, bass rumble, permea-ted with ewift, explosive trails of sound like the volleying of a mitrailleuse. He looked pensively at the cab hor?e in front of the window. It had been a pitiably mute, sweat-soaked creature, but now drooped a dumbly joyous one, its hoofs in pools up t-o the fetlocks and its panting sides a watershed for the refreshing dovrnpour. Through a vertical curtain of glistening ra.in a funeral trailed by at a philosophic I trot. He had not sa-t there long before five others jogged past, clattering modestly over the clean washed blocks. Was it the heat, or did New York hoard its dead for Sunday sepulture as a seemly dominical observance? What a jerking, laboured throb there wae to his temples! His face and ears turned painfully too. He rose, went to the washroom and, flushing the bowl with cold water, plunged his head and hands into the grateful liquid. He returned to his place at the I window better able to endure the continuous funerals. The a,ir was notably cooler, but the rain still streamed before his eyes in its woof of grey and silver. Fifteen years away from New York! And now, as if in resentment, it wore a face so different as to seem a foreign spot. He had left it-and his wife. He had left it to leave his wife-to breathe some air which should not feed her lungs also. To what a numb responsivenesg had the mill of nomadic drifting ground his emotional capacity! He was indubitably in the "middle years," that formal, dull plateau of life. He reached back now instead of stretching forward to the grey, restricted future. His future was indeed behind him—had been ever since his wife had firmly and holily set it there fifteen years ago. Melancholy suffused his rumina- tions on the past-melancholy, the wormwood with which memory is wont to charge retro- spection of the "middle years." But it was a flicker of new life that had turned his footsteps homeward—a stab of I healthy impulse. He had come back through Its solitary occupant leaned forward. yearning for his little Florrie. When he and his wife had parted with such concordance of decent bearing, she had "claimed" the baby girl as hers to rear and—to low. He had not withstood her. He knew that to his wife no legal sundering of the marriage bond would count as aught. Till he died she would never regard another marriage as a possibility. This was logically consistent with her moral complexion. Oh, what a curse she had made to him her "religious senae of duty!" He had arranged that her material conditions should remain unaltered from those of the time they strained together under a hateful yoke of ill-assorted union. Florrie! The email maiden had been such a merry, golden elf of sunshine! She did not get that from her mother! He saw the child again as he had left hu-a laughing tot of three. He had kissed I her "good night," and the nurse had borne her away, her face turned back to him wistfully. Such a little jewel she had locked as she was carried off to bed! He had risen and left the room without a word to his wife—had gone forth from his house that night and had de- serted New York the next morning. F'ifteen years ago! She had grown up now—was a young woman in society. He had run across a picture of her in an American magazine at Ostend that summer. With what a deep breath of pride and gratitude he had remarked that her fea- tures were his! But how beautiful she was! Such arch, persuasive, maidenly bloom to her! Perhaps, she had grown up like him in nature despite her mother's "training." Oh. the years to be endured could be sweetened! if she should love him and his later years, by her companionship! What a good father he would be to her! He had taken the earliest boat for New York. He was thinking deeply of her now—dre;jtn- ing with boyish ardour. She could not have developed into that cold, conscious "righteous ness" which had made his wife such a loath- some thing to him. That laughing child would never garner such a stock of bloodless virtue, and the stubborn reserve and selfishness no lees proudly worn as kindred merits—never come to invest the very thought of religion with the odious repulsiveness her mother im- parted to it. She did not look it, with that spontaneous, winning naturalness of expres- sion. Ee yearned for her in his growing lone- liness, and he had come back. He found the house closed, and the weather ever sinc. his return had been an uninter- rupted stretch of paralysing heat. So he had waited day by day, till one should come fitter for the critical moment. He must be strong enough to face whatever reception might await him. Florrie would not turn from him. But her mother! His heart recoiled from his wife anew, with more shuddering aversion. There was another funeral. The sixth! This was a cheerful Sunday—the street bereft of the living, while the dead streamed through it under the flooding rain! But this was a. variation, at least; the coflin that showed through the glass sides of the smart hearse was white. It had always seemed to him verg, ing on indelicacy thus to exhibit to every care. less passer-by the poor, solemn, helpless dead on their way to the enfolding grave. White! A child? The coffin was too long. Then & jeune fine! He drooped his head uncon- sciously. He had the Continental fashion of uncovering to the passing hearse. It had rattled on slowly. The first of the mourners' carriages was directly opposite him. Its solitary occupant seized that moment for leaning forward, apparently through exigency of air, for the smothering veil of crape was flung back with a gesture that was like a, knife to him, baring the set, white face, life- lessly perfect. He shrank away with instino- tive repulsion, for she seemed to be looking- straight at him. But as the face was borne oa he saw the pose unaltered in its stolid fixity. There are gestures, spontanieties of psyehio impulsion, mere individual and distinctive. tha.n a oirthmark. He felt the blood rush, hotly to his brain. He turned with a Plucky attempt at his wonted, quiet manner. "Waiter, will yon get me yesterday's paper, please?" He took it, turned to the column of deatl* notices. The print swam before hie shrinking eyes like another stringing rain. He foroed The waiter sprang forward. hi6 gaze to cognisance of the letters, falter- ing on to the T's as a condemned man makes the oppresively short transit to the scaffold. Something leaped up and caught his throat; a whirr ,Pd hammering dulled his e&M. He was whirling in a narrow ,nrtex. His golden little Florrie! His baby jewel! His queenly young daughter, with the beaming radiance of face that showed her his child, and not even a factitious replica of her bloodlese mother! Mother—who had sat in stern self I approval when the nurse bene away hia I child from him. Mother-yet could fling back- her veil for air without letting the smallest portal of her being open for human gym- pathy, bearing high the ashen pride of her- self sufficiency even as she followed, for onoe. the child she had sought to lead— "Florence, only child of Norman D'Arcy Torrance and Eleanor Vandeveer Torrance, in her eighteenth year-of-of-hate--heat-. heart"- The waiter sprang forward. But after that one upward stiffening and half grasp he sank: limply over the table, like a drowsy boy who falls heavily asleep. His shapely white hand, pushed the glass to the floor with a brittle shattering; forsooth, as the bottle of bap- tising wine is shattered on the bow of the barque entering on its domain of the eternal sea. Before anything ooold be done-notbinv needed to be. for he slipped with merciful swiftness to the same unknown realm as the daughter he had trailed back from his long1 exile to see, the girl hurrying before him im her snowy casket to the oemetery which Wa80 to be their rendezvous. "The thirty-sixth from the heat to-day," re- marked the Bellevue Hospital physician in- attendance that Sunday to a newspaper man. in quest of a weather item. "It breaks the record. But I guess it will wind up the list. The rain has cooled the air." The grim mistake in. diagnosing death from a chilled heart!
DOWN AT HEEL
DOWN AT HEEL An Irish private in the 57th M- Regiment, named Barney O'Shea, who was noted for being always down at heel ajid out of toe, was one da.y noticed by his officer to be walk- ing, as usual, on his uppers. The officer sternly ordered him to go at once to the quartermaster's stores and get himself a new pair. Now, Barney, who always sold his clothes as soon as he got them, thought thia a fine opportunity to raise the price of a good gargle at the canteen. So he hamded in the orders which the officer had given him at the stores. What Size?" said the storekeeper, after: reading the pa-per. El-ev?n?," promptly replied Barney. How's that?" asked the storekeeper. 'H? last pair you had were nines." "Shure they were." replied Barney, "but. be jabers, I had to wear them a month bafor* I "sould get thiol <M."
