DAWSON'S UMWtELLA. ftnd Mlfss LovelocVa Provision for a Rainy Day. Patter! put! pat! Thi rain win pour ing1 down on the gloss portico. A Bull ion storm had swept up out of a clear ky. Everyone was caupht unawares. Xiw stray cabs were si'izotl la a moment, tho omnibuses crowded before you could Ux5f around. There was actually only one umbrella in the stand by tho door of the Cafe de Luxe. I stood, lu a now "at and a lif-ht jrrtty frock coat, and syed tho umbrella speculatively. I knew the owner. Ho hod just Rone in to lunch. He was a large and lonff tuncher. I was in a hurry. Perhaps the storm would pass. I could send it bui'k by a commissionaire. I was very apt to take cold, and my appointment was really very important. Thus prompted of. Satan, I put my hind toward the umbrella. At the moment I perceived, like a statfe vil lain, that I was observed. In fact, I was not alone. A young lady of most attractive appearance stood a few feet from me, almost under tho portico, gui'.ng wistfully out into the wet. She wore a summer costume. She looked at her watch, then again at the storm, cd murmured, disconsolately: "Oh, I shall be late." Au instinct of generos ity overcame me. Without another thought for my sensitive chest or my Hght-gray suit, with a firm proprietary air, I laid hold of Dawson's umbrella. "Allow me," said I, "as cabs seem unattainable, to offer you an um brella." A glad light leaped into her eyes. "Oh, I couhln't," she said. "What would you dn?" "T don't mind a wetting," I answered, lu'roics.iiy. "Pray take it. You can f ii it back h'TP tit, your leisure." ( .iu'.vson couH t.ot iKive much moro '. i i: his snip.) "I couldn't think of it," she repeated, "You will get Hoaked through." A sudden thought struck me. After .ii, i i.vl in !.i: !ri''.' t lose sight of );tl. -...!-:, i:.:-' reiki. "Perhaps," I ventured to suggest, Hju. louu., lie tho :-.auio way. It's a 'rrgc; umbrella." And I opened it. It was uot a very largo umbrella; but how could I know that? "I go this way," said she, with a mo tion of her bund westwards. "My way," I cried. "Come, this is providential." We started. "If you wouldn't mind taking my arm," said T. "we should be better shel tered." 'Oh, perhaps we should. Thank you I" and she nestled quite close to me. We walked along talking. My leftshoul der got all the drippings, but somehow I was indifferent to that. "Are you suro you are thoroughly sheltered?" I asked. "Perfectly," sho answered. "But you're not, I'm afraid. You're too kind. Mamma will be so grateful." I liked this simple friendliness. "I thought there was no chance of rain to-day. You are more careful, Mr. Dawson." I could not repress a little start. "You know my name?" She laughed merrily. "It's on the umbrella half an Inch long," she said; "I couldn't help read ing It" There it was "Joshua Dawson, 4 Calceolaria Villas, West Kensington, V." Somehow the address annoyed me I myself live In St. James street "A strange way to make acquaint ance, isn't it?" she asked, with a coquet tish glance. "Delightful. But you haven't al lowed me to make acquaintance with you yet Haven't you your name any where about you?" "My name is Lydia Lovelock," she said; "don't you like it? It's prettier than yours," "Certainty prettier than Joshua Daw son," said I, wishing Dawson had chanced to bo a duke. "Joshua Dawson isn't pretty," she observed, with candid tyeh; "now, is it?" "Then you wouldn't take my name Instead of yours?" I asked to keep up the conversation. "Your umbrt'llu's enough to take for im" dny," ;;h .-and. with a bl-ish. As alio sj.'uki!, i !v lipp.'d ;,nd all but fell on tho i.l irif vki fcmcnt. She? guv a little cry: "Oh, my ankle!" mid leaned henvlly upon me. I ln fd licr up. "I l)..'lii'vu I've ivrcuclied it badly,'' Khu added. "'Oh, whu.t a lot of tn.utdi I'm giving yon, Mr. Dawson." She looked liivOy I fivo you my word, positively lovely in her pain and distrain. I don't think I suid so; but I said something, for she UuhUvd again as she answered: "That's vory nice of you; but how aoi I to pet hoir ev" "1 mustconu! with ycu," I said. She shook her head "I can manage now." "But you'll never be able to get out "Oh, yes. Hut perhaps tho ralu't almost stopped may I keep the um brella? There are some steps to mount to our door, and" Now, could I do anything else thaa press Dawson's umbrella upon her? She took it and, with bewitching smile, vanished from sight. I turned and almost ran back to tho Caff de Luxe, determined to make) a clean breast of it to Dawson. When I was fifty yards off I saw him under tho portico. The manager aud four wait ers stood round him in disconsolate at titudes. One or two of his remarks he was talking very loud reached my enr. I changed my mind. I would wait till he was calmer. I turned away; but at that instant Dawson caught sight of mo. A second later he was pouring tho story of his wrongs Into my car. Here came my fatal weakness. I let him go ou. lie took rau by the arm and walked me off. I could not escape Mm; and all tho way ho . thundered against the thief. "If it costR mo twenty pounds, I'll bring him to Justice!" ho declared. Heally, I dared not break it to him just yet Suddenly, from round a sharp corner, thero came upon us almost running Into us Lydia Lovelock herself, with Dawson's umbrella In her hand. He had been narrowly scanning every um brella wc passed. He scanned this one, and cried, darting forward: "My umbrella!" With a little scream Lydia turned and fled. Dawson was after her like uu arrow. I pursued Dawson. Why, oh, why, did ahe run away? Surely she must have recognized mo. It was a very quiet street wo were running up, and our strange procession attracted little notice. The chase was soon over. I caught Dawson Just as he caught Lydia. For a moment we all stood panting. Then Dawson gasped: "My umbrella! Thief !" Lydia seemed very agitated. Of course I came to her rescue. Avoiding Daw ion's eye, I hastily told my shameful tale. Lydia's face brightened, but still thero was apprehension in her looks. "This lady, believe me." I said, "is entirely blameless. Of course she thought the umbrella was my own. My solo consolation, Dawson, is to think that had you been in my place you would havo dono tho same." "I don't see," remarked Dawson, rudely, "why it consoles you to think lue a thief" I preserved a dignified silence, "However," he continued, "If this younsr lady has quite finished with my property, perhaps she will be good enough to give It mo back." Lydia did not take tho hint She clung to the umbrella. "If if you would bo so kind," sho stammered, "as to lend it to me for to day tho weather is still threatening I would return it to-morrow." "Your request,- madam, is a modest one," answered Dawson, sarcastically; "but, as you observe, the weather is threatening and I want my umbrella. Kindly give it me." "Really, Dawson, to oblige a lady " I began. "Why don't you buy her an um brella?" sneered Dawson. "If she would accept it, I should be " I btopped. To my surprise, Lydia lnid her hand on my arm imd said: "Oh, do, please! And may 1 keep this till we get to the shop?" I did not understand her; but v,r turned round and began to walk, look ing for u shop. She was a very strungo girl. She lagg-cd behind; I had to wuit twice for her. Once she took a turning as though to leave us, and when I called her back she pouted. Suddenly Dawson looked up. "It ruins," ho said. It did. "Put up the umbrella," said Dawson, roughly. "Let the lady have it," said I, indig nantly. "We'll share it" grinned Dawson. "You can get wet" Hut Lydia did not put It up. "The rain's not much," she faltered. It was now pouring. With a mutt-red oath, Dawson snatched the umbrella from her. Lydia shrieked and ran away like a frightened rabbit ran at the top of her speed up the street again. "Stop, atop!" I cried. "Stop, my dear Miss Lovelock." "Holy poworsl" exclaimed Dawson. lie had opened the umbrella; us ha did so there was a thud on the pave ment two, threat thuds. In amaze I looked down. There lay a silver cigar-otte-caso, two purses and a gold watch. Dawson burst into maniacal laughter as he pointed at Lydia's retreating fig ure. That girl could run. For a moment I stood dumfoundrd. What a revelation! Dawson chuckled in Satanic glee. Sadly I stooped down and picked' up the purses, the cigarette-case and the watch. "Great 1" I cried; and my hand flew to my waistcoat-pocket It was my watch. I did not prosecute Lydia, because I zould not have overtaken her, and for sther reasons. It was altogether too sad, too disheartening, too disappoint ing a discovery, - Dawson, however, observed that It seemed to him an ex cellent example of poetic justice in real life. St James Gazette.
