Romance of a
Back Yard
By DWIGHT NORWOOD
One morning, going to my window,
which la la the rear of the house
fcoks out on the back window, of
houses on another street, I saw a tiny
white handkerchief pinned to the win
dow allL The same afternoon, going
to my room, I was about to open the
blinds when I saw through the slats a
pretty girl kiss her hand to some on*
la the house adjoining my domicile
She at once disappeared, bat it was
evident that a flirtation, perhaps one
that had developed into an affair ol
the heart, was In progress.
After this I saw many a aignal W
the window opposite which I would
probably not hare recognised as such
had 1 not seen the throwing of the
kiss. My next door neighbor, of course,
I could not see, ,but I had noticed a
rood looking young man going and com
ing, and I presumed that ho was the
fortunate possessor of the young lady a j
I was one afternoon sitting at my
window, with the blinds dosed. when
through a crack between the alata 1
saw a pantomime between the terera. i
The girl looked down into ****?* j
yard and shook her head. After ahe
had left her window I looked down
Into his back yard myself. It waa in
closed In a high brick wall topped)
with broken glass. I wa. not long in
deciphering the pantomime- The girl
had put a Yeto on her lorer'i under
taking to effect an entrance to her
premises over the wall.
About a week after thto I taw a ne
gro bring a barrel Into the back yard
through a rear basement door. n» j
set It down very carefully and turned j
to go away. He had taken but a few
steps when be turned, went back to
the barrel and busied himself examin
ing the head, which I could see was
not fastened In the usual way. While
he was doing this his llpa moved
Moreover, I saw something passed
from the barrel to his hand. Present
ly he went away again and this time
disappeared through the basement
door. 1 ... .
I was reading a love story without
words, or, rather, was seeing one en
acted. not on the stage, but In real lira
It struck me that something would oc
cur In the premises on the other side
of the wall. Should 1 be mean enough
to spy with a view to satisfying my
curiosity? Would it be mean to enjoy
what I could of a drama In real llfeT
The barrel was deposited shortly be
fore my dinner hour, which was 8
o'clock. After dinner darkness had
fallen. Without turning on my lights
I took a seat at the window. The
space bet-ween my home and the
houses In the rear of it was dlmly ^
lble from the lights of the houses
shining upon it I could barely decern
the barrel standing where It had been
placed. Not caring to reveal myself by
lighting my room, I concluded to while
away the time In the' <5*r!tne^ ^
smoking. 1 had consumed half a doxen
cigarettes and was thinking that If
there was any one In the barrel he
must be pretty well cramped when
something rose out of Its top end
There was a pause; then something
larger followed. Curiosity sharpened
mv eyes, and I saw a bulk that looked
like a man's figure get out of the barrel,
take It up and proceed with it to a cor
ner in the wall, where he was hidden
from me. I fancied he was using the
barrel for concealment from the oppo
site direction. . - T
"That's the last of him for me,
remarked, "till the lights are put out
Nevertheless I was ^^terMted to
leave my post I smoked till!
asleep. When I awoke It was 11
o'clock, and there was but ones light to
the house visible to me. and that waa
in the room of the heroine of my story.
As X looked It was turned off.
I was now thoroughly awake and be
lieved that 1 had no ^t U^e t0^
to see something more. 1 waa rtgnt.
Not long after the last
oft 1 saw the spece occupled by the
basement door of the house 1 was
watching grow darker, indicating that
the door was being opened. Then
something stood In the opentog.A tar*
spot flitted from the wall to tiie door,
entered and the door closed.
I regretted that the elopement—for
such I believed it to be—could not
have been effected over the rear wall,
where I could have seen It They would
go out the front basement door.
I went to bed and had Just fallen
asleep when I heard the crock of a
pistol Rising, I looked through the
window at the house of my story. The
basement and the two upper floors were
lighted. I mw figures passing before
the windows, but heard nothing. Aft
er awhile the lights began to be turned
off, ana In time nil was again dark.
The next morning I saw In my news
paper an account of an attempted rob
bery of premises 73 Elm street The
police were called In, but the robber
had escaped—nobody hurt, nothing
lost Elm was the street back of my
home. After breakfast I walked around
the block to note the number of the
house. It was 73.
A few days later, while scanning the
marriage notices In my morning paper,
I saw that Miss Emma A. of 73 Elm
street had been married.
I never learned what had occurred
the night of the "robberybut I form
ed this theory: In trying to get out on to
Elm street the couple, or, at least tbe
lovers, had been detected, supposed
to be burglars and shot at Tbe po
lice entered, but were told thers bad
been an attempted robbery.

treaty of annexation with the United
