the result Though I did not take

CLARISSA MACKIE
1303 by American Press
ciationJ
T was the 20th of
May and Alraira
Stevens stood on I
her doorstep look
ing wistfully
about her small
garden The large
central bed was
a desert of brown
earth with here
and there a spin
dling dying plant
and this bed
should have ful
filled a cherished
dream of Almlraa
heart During the
long cold winter
when the outside
world was bare
and
bad planned a
great bed of for j
getmenots It was
to be a sea of
pale blue
ness and on Me-
morlal day its
beauty was to
cover a grave In the corner of the gar
den
Ive allowed all the other flowers
for the cemetery lot and now I guess
there wont be anything to put on
Asaphs grave after all she thought
despondently as she walked down the
path to a tangled mass of shrubbery
that hid one corner of the garden
Here screened from curious eyes by
TO THE TENDER MEMORY OP
ASAPH
Almlra had made this grave hidden
securely from prying neighbor eyes
fifteen years before She had found
the marble top of an old table in the
garret and dragged it pantiugly to the
spot where she set It in a deep hole
hollowed in the soft earth With paint
brush she had printed the carefully
composed verse and the Inscription
Tears of disappointment gathered in
Almiras eyes as she walked slowly
back to the house and consequently
she did not see that there was a buggy
standing before her gate and that a
man was coming briskly toward her
Good day maam Im the flower
seed man Can I sell you any seeds
or plants for your garden today He
raised his straw hat and looked at Al
miras surprised and tearful eyes with
respectful sympathy
I guess not I dont know What
have you got Almlra blushed warm
ly and winked back the telltale tears
from her blue eyes When Almlra
Stevens blushed she looked very young
and pretty
The good looking flower seed man
took In this fact He whipped a
leather covered catalogue from his
pocket and said I guess Its easier
to tell what I havent got than what
I have Ill take your order today for
seeds or plants or bulbs and theyll
he delivered to you within a week
Youve got a pretty garden here
It will be nice later on returned
Almira gloomily
I see you havent anvthinsr In thnt
central bed
I had it planted with forgetmenots
and they all died said Almlra resent
fully
The man smiled That was your
fault Miss Stevens You shouldnt
plant forgetmenots in an open sunny
place like that
They want a f
hjuisl snaay
spot I should
think over there
would be a good
place He point
ed to the inclosed
corner of the gar
den
Almlra started
I never thought
of planting them
there she said
Im dreadful
d I sa ppointed
about the forget
menots not doing
well
Thats too bad
I suppose youve
got graves to
decorate
Almira nodded
She liked the
looks of the flow
er seed man and
she thought him
very handsome
when he smiled
and displayed
rows of even
white teeth be

she said musingly
Thats easily found out said the
man and before Almira could utter a
word of protest he was striding rap
idly toward the corner where the white
marble stone was hidden behind the
cedars
Almira panted hastily after him

Ill he here In the morning 1 wont
disappoint you
There was asmile of pleasant retro
spection in Almiras lips as she watch
ed the flower seed man drive away
through the May sunshine
The next morning she was up at
tie gold brooch it was many years
since Almira had worn blue muslin
so many years that she was ashamed
to meet her own eyes in the mirror
and went downstairs and into the gar
den hoping the flower seed man would
not be late
Presently he came and at the quick
glance of respectful admiration Almlra
felt that the blue muslin was quite

then they walked

mira
I couldnt get

these mean some

know and I
guess thats what
most of us need
Almira found
herself blushing
again 1 sup

said faintly Its
pleasant to re
mtfmber your
friends after
theyre gone
she added
The flower seed
man drew a
trowel from his
pocket and be
gan to dig the
soft earth of the mound All my
folks are alive he said apologetically
I say Miss Stevens I hope you dont
stay round this damp spot very much
It aint healthy He turned a look of
concern toward Almira
I come sometimes she faltered
Well you take my advice and only
come when the sun shines on this par
ticular spot and great Scott He sat
back on his heels and looked at the
headstone for the first time Did
you write that maam he asked
soberly
Almlra nodded
Its a very pretty verse but that
name Asaph its a queer name I
never heard it but once before The
fellow that had it married my cousin
Annie and I guess hes got his bands
full
I always thought Asaph was a pret
ty name said Almlra
So did I till I met with Asaph Win
klestone
Almira uttered a frightened little cry
and sank to her knees on the bare
ground What name did you say
she cried tremulously
Asaph Winklestone maam I hope
youre not sick Let me help you up
There was deep concern in the flower
seed mans face
Thats his name she said breath
lessly pointing to the mound
Good Lord
The flower seed man and Almira
Stevens stared at one another until
Almira uttered a hysterical little
laugh He was drowned at sea she
gasped
Thunderation He was not The
mean excuse me Our Asaph was a
sailor till he got wrecked and had the
everlasting life scared out of him
With a quick movement he drew a
leather case from his pocket and drew
from it a photograph Theres a pic
ture of our family group Miss Ste
vens Including our Asaph Do you rec
ognize him
Almlra took the picture with quiver
ing fingers looked at It and gave it
back with a sigh of relief Yes she
said constraingdly its Asaph but
hes grown awful fat
The flower seed man did not answer
He was uprooting the marble slab and
thrusting it out of sight among the
underbrush Then he leveled the
mound with quick strokes of his
trowel Come out into the sunshine
Miss Stevens he said grasping the
box of plants and together they went
Into the garden and planted the pan
sies In the central bed
As for Aaph Winklestone he was
left to the tender mer ies of Cousin
I FOOLED THE ROBBERS
An Incident of the Days of Stage
coach Holdups
QUICK WIT OF PAT CL0HESY
The Trick by Which the Old Tim
Mining Man of Colorado Saved Him
self and Sacrificed Hi Fellow Trav
elers and the Story Sequel
When the passengers In the old
coaching days found themselves In the
clutches of the Toad agents they In
stinctively hurried during the short
time that driver and guard were be
ing put In a proper state of helpless
ness to secret money and valuables in
the first safe place that suggested It
I break of day busily denuding her gar 1 anything In a mere shell of a coach
den of its blooms When the sun sent
Its first rays across the green fields she
had been to the cemetery on the hill
and laid her offerings of niiik and
white she waite and lilac blooms on the graves
of her kinsfolk
She found herself wishing that noth
ing would prevent the flower seed
mans coming He was very interest
ing Here Almlra blushed and hur
ried into the house where she blushed
again as she slipped on a blue muslin
smaller onnortunltv of nlace to hide
If a man was found without money
tbey stripped him anO searched the
stage as well I
The experience of Pat Clohesy an
old time mining man of Colorado is
historic One rfternoon he took the
stage from Silver Cliff camp bound
for the railroad sixty miles away In
the coach were a dozen other passen
gprs none of whom knew him As
they reached the narrowest part of tho
gorge that leads out of Wet Mountain
dress and pinned the collar with a lit 1 vaiiey a loud command of Hold up
your hands brought the stage to a
sudden standstill and every passenger
in it to a swift realization that unless
quick -action was taken be would go
broke One crammed his wad of bills
down his boot leg another thrust his
roll down the back of his neck a third
took off his hat put his wallet inside
and set It back on his head Every
man Jack of them attempted to se
crete his money except Pat Clohesy
and Pat sat perfectly quiet
In a few moments a rifle barrel ap
peared at the window and there came
the order Hands up and all out Out
the passengers tumbled and stood in
line with lifted hands Pat at the far
end When the searching highway
man went through the first man he
I
found nothing Irritated at this he PTVp MP
started through the second with the
same lack of success Angry at this A 1K1AJL
the bandit ttirned to his fellow robber
who stood covering the line with his
Winchester
They have been try In to hide
their stuff d n em ho exclaimed
Well Just make em strip aud then
well go through the stage Theyll
pay for puttln us to all this trouble
Then up spoke Pat Clohesy from
the far end of the line Gentlemen
he said addressing the highwaymen
I know youre In a hurry and I know
Im a poor miner with all my property
in thp world just the 15 Ive got in
my pocket If youll leave me that lit
tle roll Ill tell you where these other V
fellows have hidden their swag sosl
you can collect it quick and skip out
Is it a bargain i
Sure said the man with the
guarding rifle Fiftpen dollars meant
nothing to the band compared to the
risk Well said Pat pointing to the
first In line that fellows money is
stuffed down his right hoot leg
The holdup Investigated and drew
forth a plump roll of bills from the
boot leg That next man went on
Pat has got his money hid under the
hind seat in the stage The bandit
found a fat wallet stuffed under the
cushion The next has got his money
In his hat and the next crammed his
stuff down the back of his neck and
the next Pat went down the line of
them while the highwayman drew
forth money from all manner of places
Swiftly collecting their booty they
bundled the passengers back In the
coach set driver and guard back on
their spats and told them to go ahea
nor however before thev had crive
Pat a twenty dollar bill and a hearty
slap of thanks on his Irish back
The storm that broke over his head
Inside that coach after it had rolled a
safe distance from the bandits threat
ened his very life before he could get
a hearing Had It not been that the
robbers had disarmed them all and
Pat was a huge man he never would
have got away alive
Each of you figure up just how
much youve lost he said to his fel
low passengers when at last they
would listen and Ill pay you back
not only what that Is but an equal
amount In addition for the bother Ive
given you and he pulled from an in
ner vest pocket a huge roll of bills
In bewilderment the travelers counted
up their losses Collectively it was
about 1000 Pat peeled off two 1000
bills from the bulky mass of money
and handing them to a responsible pas
senger asked him to make correct di
vision when they reached the railroad
Im sorry for the unpleasant quar
ter hour I caused you he continued
but It was the only thing I could do to
save myself I have just sold a mine
back in Silver Cliff for 60000 cash
and bad no other way to bring the
money out except in my pocket Here

outside I thought It was all up for vou
cant hide money from those bounds
But when you fellows pulled out your-
money to hide it and I saw that none
of you had any large amount I thought
I would work a game on the road
agents and give you away to the vil
lains in order to save myself I surely
did Theyve got 1000 but Ive saved
