Editor's Note:

This was the last story written by O. Henry. But he did not get a chance to finish it himself.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine had asked him to write a story, and after his death, the unfinished story was found on his desk. This is the way the story was published in the Cosmoplitan in 1910.
