i ( i Alphabetically By ANTHONY REIMERT Every time the stranger came into the office he stopped to chat with Doris. He was a pleasant, youngish man, with a hearty, infec tious way that took with her tre- mendously. Finally he asked her out to dinner. ¥ “But I don't know your, name,” Doris. protested. “John Smith,” he answered, flush- ing. That dinner was a great success. Doris was a wary little person, but John Smith proved a perfect gen- tleman. He took Doris to the beach, snd on the way back he asked her to marry him. \ But there Doris helu back. “Real ly, I don’t know you, and you don’t know me,” she protested. And there the matter rested. Doris was thinking of him all that morning as she worked on the list of names, There was something 80 curious about him, He was the most trustful man she had ever known. He believed everything— y- Not that Doris had-led/to him, you understand. But he believed every- thing. He was just like one of the men on the sucker lst. It must here be explained that the firm for which Doris worked prepared sucker lists for all the fake ofl and mining com- panies, all the fake medical com- panies—everybody who had any- thing whatever to sell to . And Doris worked on these lists. There was a separate list for every state in the Union, and there was a separate list for every bit clty. Once your name got on the sucker list, from your having bought Holman’s Bitters. a sure- cure for indigestion, or oil stock at five cents a share—well, there it stayed. And at the head of every list was the-name of A. A. Ababanel. That is to say, the lists were arranged alphabetically, and naturally A. A. Abnbanep Headed them. Not that Mr. Ababanel had a resi- dence in every one of the states, of course. But he@bought medi- cines, he bought gold stocks and ofl stocks,“and he appeared ubiquitous, Doris got weary to death of read- ing the name Ababanel. “The poor boob surely wants some one to look after him,” she sald. ** She was sorry in a way for Mr. Ababanel, always cropping up. She was musing over John Smith all the while. Mr. Simmons called her to order. ir. Simmons was the head of the firm. Doris blushed and > took up her work again. “Say, Miss Jones, there's been one or two letters complaining about names being on the lists,” he said a little later. “If anyone comes in and makes a kick about It, you better scratch him off. I dunno how they found out that they’re on our lists, but there you are, and we can’t have no trouble.” Doris agreed, and Mr. Simmons went out to lunch. He had been gone about five minutes when Mr. Smith came in. Dorts' heart beat heavily. Them she looked up and nodded with feigned indifference, and went on with her work. “Boss in?” asked Mr. Smith. “Out to lunch,” sald Doris. Mr. Smith came and stood quite close Beside her. “How about that inci ap THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1923° cere raken- 05 THE OLD HOME.20WD:.:.

He came across the room. “Geod-day, Mr. Ababanel,” he said. Boris stared in amazement. “Oh, Mr. Simmons, you'll have to take my name off that list of yours.
