"I have something to tell you," she said, "Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital. He was ill only two days. The janitor found him on the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpness with pain. His shoes and clothes were soaking wet and ice cold. They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a dreadful night. And then they found a lantern, still lighted, and a ladder that had been dragged from its place, and some scattered brushes, and a palette with green and yellow colors mixed on it, and——look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn't you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it's Behrman's masterpiece——he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."
Two days later from that night, he died of pneumonia

The Cop And The Anthem
This is a really funny story, the main character was prepared for the coming winter—to get into the prison, when every trial failed and he was moved by the anthem of the church. He decided to make a man of himself again and to conquer the evil that had taken possession of him. But not until the anthem was finished, this time he was ‘hopefully’ arrested for doing nothing. When Soapy has realized how foolish he is and decided to live a new life the fact deprive him the right, the ending keep us thinking about the whole society and Soapy. What made the story so successful was the ending, the sudden twist not only give the readers a sudden fall, but also let us think a lot.
