THE GIFT OF THE MAGI (with apologies to O. Henry a/k/a: William Sidney Porter, 1862-1910) Forty-seven dollars. That was all. And seven dollars of it was in pennies. Pennies saved a few at a time. Three times Jennifer counted it. Forty-seven dollars. And the next day would be Christmas. Jennifer finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with her handkerchief. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had $47 with which to buy Carsten a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $47 to buy a present for Carsten. Her Carsten. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. She had innocently asked him about the coaches on that page in the M�rklin catalog to which he always seemed to turn when he sat down in the drawing-room after supper. "Sch�rzenwagen," he called them, "skirted cars." A

N'Yawk N'Yawk: Essay and photographs by Thomas E. Kennedy N ew York August heat is enough to drive a man mad. Woman, too. Airconditioners churn at full force, dripping on your head as you pass beneath them, but they have yet to concoct an airconditioner that can cool the streets. Out here you work up a constant thirst with plenty of cool places to quench it. I have idle hours and wade the naked steaming streets in shorts, armless teeshirt plastered to my sweaty back, paying attention as best I can. To give my visit form, I seek out places where writers have lived or drunk, as good a structure as any, though an impossibly ambitious one. It would no doubt be easier to draft a list of the writers, artists and musicians who didn't live here at some time or another than the ones who did. The Little Prince here, on the 23rd floor of 240 Central Park South at Columbus Circle where he lived during the German occupation of France in World War II? He died on a military reconnaisance flight over France in July 1944. It exasperates me that I have only just learned that he lived there, just across from where I worked for several years in the 1960s, on the 12th floor of the now demolished Coliseum Office Building at 10 Columbus Circle, at the time I first read The Little Prince . And what , you may ask, would it have mattered if I had known? Perhaps nothing. Perhaps a good deal. Is it of value to cultivate our awareness of great things that have been accomplished just across the street from where we toil in drudgery? I think it does. I want to know these things. I want to know the geography of it, the housing.

13. Holding Up A Train, And The Story Of Holding Up A Train (1911, ...) By O. Henry HOLDING UP A TRAIN by O. Henry (pseud. for William Sidney Porter (18621910)) http://gaslight.mtroyal.ab.ca/holdngup.htm

The following is a Gaslight etext.... A message to you about from SIXES AND SEVENS HOLDING UP A TRAIN by O. Henry (pseud. for William Sidney Porter (1862-1910)) N OTE . The man who told me these things was for several years an outlaw in the Southwest and a follower of the pursuit he so frankly describes. His description of the modus operandi should prove interesting, his counsel of value to the potential passenger in some future "hold-up," while his estimate of the pleasures of train robbing will hardly induce any one to adopt it as a profession. I give the story in almost exactly his own words. O.H. Most people would say, if their opinion was asked for, that holding up a train would be a hard job. Well, it isn't; it's easy. I have contributed some to the uneasiness of railroads and the insomnia of express companies, and the most trouble I ever had about a hold-up was in being swindled by unscrupulous people while spending the money I got. The danger wasn't anything to speak of, and we didn't mind the trouble. One man has come pretty near robbing a train by himself; two have succeeded a few times; three can do it if they are hustlers, but five is about the right number. The time to do it and the place depend upon several things.
