And when they are tired of bowling it around the bolita, which hasnt been disturbed in the least, calmly unrolls and crawls away.

Not one of the kind of cards that are most familiar Washingtonians Is it? inquired the reporter, trywith, ing to be facetious. Hardly. But let me tell you the tale. When I was a youngster of 15 or less, which Is now forty or. fifty years ago, I hadnt as much money as I have now, nor did my parents, hut we thrived well, and I got the best education that was to be had at the time, owing to the kindness of a millionaire relative of mine, an old chap who died when I was about 20. We never knew the story until he died, and then it all came out in a letter he wrote and left with his will. It seems that when the old man was about 20 he went west with a young man of his own age, who had been brought with him by the same people, both being orphans. They were as or even closer, in their affecbrothers, tions, and when they started out to seek their fortunes they each wrote a card and gave it to the other. Just what the inscription was I don't know, but jt was enough to signify that If one was in need the other would honor the card under any circumstances, and after any lapse of time. If he were financially able to do so. Well, they worked together for awhile, and then, by business changes and one way or another, they separated. For a long time they kept up a correspondence, but as the years went by that dropped, for in a few years one was very successful, while the other man was not, and you know how things go under those circumstances. A quarter of a century went by, and by that time my relative was a millionaire many times over, and the nastiest, meanest, stingiest, crustiest old cuss in ten states. He couldnt help that, perhaps, and I dont know that he tried. Anyhow, one day a ragged and starving man came into his office and asked to see him alone. He told him to state his business where he was. The man told a long story of suffering and want, of a sick and starving wife and children and the usual concomitants of that kind of a situation, and then handed my relative a card. It was yellow and worn and dirty, hut it was the same old card that he had given his boyhood friend. .The old man . gave the applicant a dime jaacl told him to get out and not come back there any more. He obeyed the cruel command out silently. That evening a went and policeman came to the old mans office with a note and a card. All the note Give this to my boyhood said was: . He will understand friend, ' The note was unsigned. The card which the policeman handed over had a hole through It as if cut by a knife, and there was blood about the edges of the cut. The officer explained that It had been found on the dead body of a man in an attic room In the slums, with a knife driven through It and into the mans heart. That was all the policeman knew. I dont know what the old man said, or how he felt, hut I do know that from that day forward he was a changed man. He gave to every worthy person meeding help; he sought out all his poor kin and took care of them judiciously; educating the girls, giving the boys a start In business, and helping their parents; he organized charities andfam-he offered a reward of $1,000 for the ily of his dead friend. He never found it, howeyer, and I fancy the friend never had a family. I guess he wasnt any good, anyway, hut, whether he was or not, the way he took himself off was a blessing to the old man, and most emWashingphatically to all of his kin ton Star.
