OUR SHORT -STORY
OUR SHORT STORY A MATTER OF INSTINCT. Fate was a oat, and Leonard Herrick was I mouse. There had been some rare sport, but Herriok was of the opinion that it oould I 80t last much longer. He had run this way 'I and that way, and a thousand timea he had foocied that he was going to escape. But always the velvet paws with the long, sharp c*aw* springing out of them, had caught him just in time. So, at last, he lay still, paut- not knowing which way to turn. He was in a big city, all alone. The people .Who rushed by him were like the thoughts tJiat whirled through his brain; they were tbadows, and the everlasting train of them W no beginning nor end. He could not dis- ^guish the real mea and women whom he 8aw from those whom he merely remembered. and again there appeared in the throng the f&oes of the dead; he did not mind those, but there were others tll&t he shrank from. ne stood with his back againjft the iron fence in front of Trinity Church. There wae just light enough in the western «k7 to give the pile of atone a shadow, which upen hurrying thousands, who did not notice it. Herrick's hands were in his pocket. He Rumpled a crackling piece of paper wbfh toeaat ti-4 he could li" wretal days longer, «Bed to do ao. As le a mom extmded future, he could not picture it. All the lines of his life seemed to end in a knot, which could by no means be untied, but must merely be dropped. He rc-membered that there were miracles, but 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 ia life; after fire 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, was it any wonder that he had done it in five years ? He crossed Broadway and walked down Wall-street, slowly and with hesitation, for he had no erraad. A voice cried: "Cab, sir almost in his ear. He turned and looked up at the man on the box. "Is it poesible," he said to himself, "that I still look like a gentleman?" He felt toward the cabman as toward one wbo had given him a helping hand. Why not pay the debt ? To do so would. cost him only a day of his life. He had a £ 1 bill in his p«ck#t. "Yes," he said; "take me up to the Fifth Arenaa HotaL" It was the first place that had come into his mind. He got into the cab, and snapped the door. The cushioned seat and the com. forta,ble support for his head were very re. freshing. A fancy came to him that he would dine decently and then go to a theatre The extravagance would be trifling, for it was really of small importance whether he starved to death on Sunday or on the following Wed. nesday. He was in a mood to make a jest of it all. A strong glare from an electric light struck down into the carriage, and made visible to him a package in brown paper that looked as if it might be a sandwich. The object pro- truded from under the seat. He thought it must be the cabman's supper which had been hidden in some smaller locker and had fallen upon the floor. The idea that the food should be spoiled wdisagreeable to Herrick, and so he pidked: up the little brown bundle. It was smaller than he bad supposed, and it did not feel hke 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 of that package was monev. It felt like a mass of bills folded, awkwardly wrapped up, and fastened with elastic bands. Through the brown covering Herrick could feel the crispneslS of the Govern- ment paper. The amount might be a poor ma.n's monthly wages, or a rich man's profit on a great irausaotion. As to his own conduct in this matter, Her- rick had no doulbt whatever. Fate had thrown that noaej into bi8 UDdII, and fata aright take it away; but not if he could hold on tightly enough. His fingers trembled as he picked at the elastic bands. Suddenly, and without his knowing why, the rubber strings vanished with a loud snap that startled him, and the package sprang open on his knees. He caught a flash of green colour, and then the cab rolled out of light into shadow. It seemed a long time before another light struck in upon him. At the moment when it did so he saw a face close to the cab door, ¡ and he dodged back, covering the bills with his hands. But the chance passenger on the street saw nothing; he was thinking of his own affairs, no doubt, and had no inkling of the strange thing that had passed so close to I his eyes. Herrick was himself again in a moment, and he bent forward, eagerly scanning the bills in his hands, and counting them feverishly. There were forty of them, and each was of the denomination of j3200. Throughout the later period of the young man's misfortunes he had had substantially but one wish—to rest. Rest has many forms, suited to a vast variety of individual tastes. To'Herrick in his day dreams it had always takfcn the form of travel, without care. All patlw lie open for a man who has £ 8,000, and there is no reason why care should sit behind him as he rides. Herrick had only the most shadowy thought for the person who had lost this money. He did not even speculate upon the manner of its lose. It had come into the control of one who needed it, and that was enough. He disposed ti e notes in hi8 pockets, in tiie best interests of comfort and safety. Then I 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 yielded 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 having left the cab in that strange manner. There was a way to the sidewalk through the press af vehicles. Herrick saw it from the corner Off his eye, and waa abort to take advantage of it. Instead, to his surprise, he i found himself turning toward the cabman, and immediately he heard his own voice saying: "I have decided to get out here. Hew much do I owe you?" The cabman named his prioe, 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 coumted 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 since he had really slept. Certainly, with so much upon his mind, he would not sleep this night, even if he should try. So vhen 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 came to torment him. F( a long time he had I borne his life like a tremendous burden. This had suddenly slipped from his shoulders, leaving his natural powers >enumbed. In the midst of his first vision of a new life be was aroused by a knocking at the door. He started np; his legs would hardly support him; he had no voice with which to ask who 'o 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 I quite left him. Of all stolen goods, money is the hardest to recover. Presently he found himself riding down town in an elevated railroad trai- He was going to a steamsihip office to arrange for his I 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 newspaper. No fellow-passenger could see it; and that was doubly fortunate because, in plain, sight upon the paper, was & name and address:—"Herbert L. Graham, 40 Wall- street." The train was just stopping at Rector-street. That was the station nearest the steamship office. Throwing the brown paper back into his pocket, he left the car 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 has 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 have found the money that you lost," said Herrick. "Here it is." "Zion!" cried the banker, clutching thb bills in his fingers. "My dear fellow, teli 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. I "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 have been honest men." "Upon my word. you must tak- one of these notes," said the banker. 'Tve offered it in an ad. aud-" "I can't do it," said Herrick. "I don't feet it to ba 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.
