"Sensational Failure in Wall Street," was the red-letter legend on the front page. With bulging eyes Abe took in the import of the leaded type which disclosed the news that Gunst & Baumer, promoters of Interstate Copper, having boosted its price to five, were overwhelmed by a flood of profit-taking.
Then Miss Gratz, of the C. & E.I., following a red-letter night at Grand Opera, succeeded by a German pancake and a stein at the Edelweiss and a cab-ride home, took Louis gravely to task for his extravagance and hinted that he ought to have a permanent manager who took an interest in him, one who loved music as he did and whose tastes were simple and Teutonic.
Further along several other fellows were jumping with might and main, and showing either jubilation or deep chagrin as they found themselves able to do a shade better than ever before, or else going backward in their scoring. Indeed, that was going to be a red-letter day in the lives of all Scranton's young people.
I am content to remain grateful, to count this a red-letter day, because somehow, out of the mystery of the dark, we have thus been brought together. An old professor used to say all life hinges on little things, and I believe our chance meeting is going to change both our lives, and for the better. Without asking a question, or harboring a suspicion, I have faith in you is that enough?"
As far as our own observations go, we do aver this to be a very handsome average of a French sportsman's day's shooting. The day on which such a thing occurs is a red-letter day with him for the rest of his life. He goes home at once and inscribes the circumstance in the family archives.
November 8, 1894, was a red-letter day in the history of Coolgardie, for on that date the foundation-stone of the first brick building was laid by Mr. James Shaw, the mayor. Under the stone was deposited a specimen of each coin of the realm, and these, by the way, were purloined in the night.
It was a long telegram, and it took some seconds to read; but he did not look up till he had mastered it. "Good-bye, sweetheart, good-bye," so ran the message "It is no red-letter day for me, but I wish you joy with all my heart. Spare a thought now and then for the good old times and the boy you left behind you. Your loving Jerry."
By the end of July he felt that he could slacken up here, too, having pretty well exhausted the field, and the first day of August red-letter day in the annals of science saw him unlock the sacred drawer with a close-set face. And now the Schedule, so long lapsed, was reinstated, with Four Hours a Day segregated to Magnum Opus. A pitiful little step at reconstruction, perhaps, but still a step.
Bought a pair of lavender kid-gloves for next Monday, and two white ties, in case one got spoiled in the tying. May 6, Sunday. A very dull sermon, during which, I regret to say, I twice thought of the Mansion House reception to-morrow. May 7. A big red-letter day; viz., the Lord Mayor's reception. The whole house upset. I had to get dressed at half-past six, as Carrie wanted the room to herself.
The day, indeed, was a red-letter one an omen, he hoped, that fate was preparing to pour down upon him good fortune in the future.
