[ By O. HENRY. (Ooprrtght IMS. by thv 8. S. Medio* Co.) ONE evening when Andy Dono van went to dinner at hbi Second avenue boarding bouse Mrs. Scott Introduced him to a new boarder, a young lady. Miss r Conway. Miss Conway waAunall and unobtrusive. She wore s pUln. anffy ■ brown drew and bestowed her Interest which seemed languid, upon her plate. She lifted her diffident eyelids and shot one perspicuous, judicial , glance at Mr. Donovan, politely mur mured his name and returned to her repk^^vlnnlng fM him social, buslnets and political 'advancement and - erased the snuffy brown one from the ■ tablets cf his consideration. Two weeks later Andy was sitting on ths front steps, enjoying his cigar. There was a soft rustle behind and ■ above him, and Andy turned his head : —and had his head turned. | Just coming out the door was Miss Conway. She wore a night black drew of crepe de-crepe de-oh, Jhis thin black goods. Han-hat was black, and I from It drooped and fluttered an ebon . veil, filmy as a spider's web. She stood ■ on the top step and drew on black silk - gloves. Not a speck of white or a spot ! of color about her ti**ss anywhere. • Her rich golden hair was drawn, with scarcely a ripple. Into a shining, smooth knot iow on her neck. Her face was plain rather than pretty, but It was now Illuminated and made almost beautiful by her large gray eyes that . gazed above the houses across the street Into the sky with an expression of the most appealing sadness and melancholy. Gather the Idea, girls— all black, you know, with the preference for crepe de —oh, crepe de chine— that's It— all I black, and that sad. faraway look and . the hair shining under the black veil (you haTe to be a blond, of course), and try to look as If, although your • young life had been blighted Just as It was about to give a hop. skip and a Jump over the threshold of life, a walk , In the park might do you good and be r sure to bappen out the door at the right moment and— oh. It'll fetch 'em i every time. But Ifs fierce, now, bow : cynical I am. ain't It. to talk abool i mourning costumes this way? Mr. Donovan suddenly relnscrlbed Miss Confcay upon the tablets of bis I consideration. He threw away the re- _ malnlng Inch and a quarter of bis cigar . I that would lye been good for eight - 1 minutes yet and quickly shifted bis ' center of gravity to his low cut patent i leathers. ■ "It's a fine, clear evening. Miss Con- ' i way." he said, and If the weather buI I reau could have beard the confident : j emphasis of his tones It would have ; j hoisted the square white signal and > nailed It to the mast. i "To them that has the heart to enJoy It, It Is, Mr. Donovan." said Miss i Conway, with a sigh. Mr. Donovan in bis heart cursed fair | weather. Heartless weather! It should | hall and blow and snow to be consonant witb the mood of Miss Conway. "I hope none of your relatives— I hope i you haven't sustained a~loss?" veni tu red Mr. Donovan. I "Death has claimed," said Miss Con- ' way. hesitating, "not a relative, but one who— But 1 will not Intrude my griel j | upon you, Mr. Donovan." "Intrude?" protested Mr. Donovan. "Why. say. Miss Conway, I'd be delighted— that Is, I'd be sorry— I mean I'm sure nobody could sympathize with • you truer than 1 would." Miss Conway smiled a little smile. And, oh. It was sadder than ber expressioajn respose. " 'Laugh, nud the world laughs with you: weep, and they give you the laugh.' " she quoted. "1 have learned that, Mr. Donovan. ! I have no friends or acquaintances In ] ! tills city. But you have been kind To | me. I appreciate It highly." ! He bad passed her the pepper twice j ■ "It's, tough to he alone In-New York [ | —that's a cinch." said Mr. Douovau. | ] does loosen up and get friendly it goes ! the limit Say you took a little stroll In the park. Miss Conway. Don't you 1 think It might chase away some of ' your mulligrubs? And If you'd allow "Thanks. Mr. Donovan. I'd be pleased to accept of your escort if you think j the company of one whose heart is filled with gloom could be anyways agreeable to you." Through the open gates of the Iron -I railed, old. downtown park, wliere tire j elect once took the air, they strolled > | and found a quiet bench. There is this difference between the grief of voutb and that of old age: I Youth's burden is ligbteuea by as . much of it as another shares. Old age may give and give, but the sorrow remaius the same. "He was my-Jjanoe." confided Miss I Conway at the end of an hour. "We Mere going to be married next spring 1 don't want yon to think that 1 am ! stringing yon, Mr. Donovan, but he ! Mas a real count He hud an estate . j and a castle in Italy. Count Fernando | Mazzini was his name. I never saw the beat of him for elegance. Papa objected, of course, and once we : eloped, but papa overtook us and took back. I thought sure papa and would fight a duel. Papa has a livery business — in P'kipsee, yon "Finally papa came around, all right, and said we might be married next spring. Fernando showed him proofs of his title and wealth and then

Italy, forwarded from Cklpeee, saying . that Fernando had been killed in a , gondola accident. "That is why I am in mourning. My heart. Mr. Donovan, will remain forever in his grave. I guess I am poor - take any Interest fas no one. 1 should i not care to keep you from gayety and u rtaln yon. Perbape yon would prv- - fcr to walk back to tha honeiT" Now, girls. If you want to observe a . young man- battle Out after a pick And shovel Just tell him that your heart to i men are grave robbers by nature. Ask , to restore that missing organ to weep- . log angels in crepe de chine. Dead i men certainly got the worst of It from 1 all sides. Tm awfully sorry," said Mr. Donoi van gently. ."No; we won't walk back i to the house Jnst yet. And don't say i you haven't no friends In this city, I Miss Conway. I'm awful sorry, and I i want you to believe I'm your friend 1 and that I'm awful eony." Tve got his picture here In my : locket" said Miss Conway after wlp- . lng ber eyes with ber handkerchief, i "I never showed It to anybody, but I i will to you. Mr. Donovan, because I i believe you to be a true friend." i Mr. Donovan gased long and with : much Interest at' the photograph In the : locket that Miss Conway opened for • him. The face of Count Mazxlnl was i one to command Interest It was a - smooth. Intelligent bright almost a handsome face— the "face of a strong. i cheerful man who might well be a - leader among his fellows. I "I have a larger one framed In my I room," said Mi.-s Conway. "When we I return, I will show you that They are all I have to remind me of Fer- ■ nando. But he ever will be present In ; my heart that's a sure thing." t A subtle task confronted Mr. Donovan, that of supplanting the unfortunate count In the heart of Miss Coni way. This his admiration for her de-

The sympathetic but cheerful friend was the role i be essayed, and he played It so successfully that the next half hour found j them conversing pensively across two | plates of Ice cream, though yet there was no diminution of the sadness In | j Miss Conway's large gray eyes. I Before they parted In the ball that 1 | evening she ran upstairs and brought ' i dOM'u the framed photograph wrapped j : lovingly in a white silk scarf. Mr j Donovan surveyed It with Inscrutable j | "lie gave me this the night be left , I for Italy," said Miss Conway. "1 had , the one for the locket made from this." ' I "A fine looking man." said Mr. Dono- 1 | van heartily. "How would It suit you. j Miss Conway, to give me pleasure of your company to Coney next Sunday j A month later tbe.v announced their j engagement to Mrs. Scott and the oth- i er boarders. Miss ConM'ay continued ; A week after the announcement the : two sat on the same bench in the downtown park, while the fluttering j leaves of the trees made a dim kineto- j scopic picture of them Id the moonlight. But Donovan had worn a look of abstracted gloom all day. He was I so silent tonight that love's lips could | not keep back any longer the questions that love's heart propounded. "Wuat"s the matter, Andy, you are so ' solemn and grouchy tonight?" "Nothing, Maggie." "I know better. Can't I tell? Tou | never acted this way before. What Is j It?" j "It's nothing much, Maggie." "Ye6, It Is, and I want to know. I'll j bet It's some other girl you are think- j iDg about. All right Why don't yon j go get her If you want ber? Take yonr , arm away. If yon please." "Ill tell yon then," said Andy wisely, "but T guess you won't understand It exactly. You've heard of Mike Sullivan, haven't you? 'Big Mike' Sullivan everybody calls htm." — "No, I haven't" said Maggie. "And I don't want to If he makes you act , like this. Who Is her '

And then suddenly she ' leaned against bis shoulder and began • to cry— to cry and shake with sob*, 1 holding kta arm tightly and wetting the crepe de chine with tears. "There, there, tbereP soothed Andy, ' putting aside his own trouble. "And ' what is it now?" ' "Andy." sobbed Maggie. "I've lied to you, and you'll never marry me or love me any more. But I feel that I've, got to tell. Andy, there never was so much as the little finger of a count I never had a bean in my life. But all the other girls had, and they talked about 'em, and that seemed to make the fellows like 'em more. And, Andy, I look swell in black— you know I do! So 1 went out to e photograph store and bought that picture and had a little one made for my locket and made up all that story about the count and about bis being killed so I could wear black. And nobody can love a liar, and you'll shake me. Andy, and I'll die for shame. Ob, there never was anybody I liked but you— and that's all!" | But lusteud of being pushed away . sbe found Andy's arm folding her cIomt Flie looked up and saw his face t-Utired uuu euiiliug.
