Cupid En Route (1918)
by Ralph Henry Barbour
Illustrated by F. Foster Lincoln (illustrations) and Albert D. Bashfield (decorations).

The door banged shut and the taxicab sprang away from the curb with a warning toot. But as it moved forward the girl's face and the upper part of her body appeared for a moment at the glass. Her eyes swept the sidewalk hurriedly, met Wade's eyes startledly and comprehendingly and were quickly flashed away. But Wade had caught more than the glance. He had caught in that brief instant the carmine blur of a rose against the black fur of the coat!

What did he care that the carriage man was standing there foolishly clasping thirty-five American Beauties to his gold-trimmed uniform? The thirty-sixth was nestled under the chin of the girl he loved!
