All it requires is some “pep” of the red variety. You must be at the office at 6:30 in the mosning to builda fire and sweep out the office, and be- fore the room gets warm you should be either writing copy, tele- phoning, setting ads, posting books, entering subscribers names, looking over mailing list, rustling for copy, waiting on a customer, sorting out pie, trying to find some one who has clean rags for sale, ordering paper, answering a call for some one who has lost a black mule, looking over files to find one paper of every other number back as far as 1863. Either that or this: shoveling coal into the bin, setting an ad, then you are called to the phone, then two cus- tomers call, one needs 10,000 post- ers tomorrow afternoon at six min- utes after three, the other wishes to know how much gas it requires to run such and such a car twen- ty miles on good average roads in the summer time, and how much lost motion there would be toa loose piston in a given stroke. Two women call, one wants some paper to fita file that takes you forty minutes to discover what she wants. By this time you have lost your stick and copy and it takes you thirty minutes to find it. Then you get real ‘busy and forget all about the copy hook. No news, nothing to write about, paper late, barrels of leads, dead type, copper and other rubbish in your way. Then it is hustle to replenish the copy hook, you seratch your head a lot try- ing to get your billiard ball in working order. You find five or six locals, all there is within nine miles of town. Then a long dis- tance call, set a sale bill, write an ‘editorial run out for a can of gas, Soap,’ towel or rags. Then the fire is out and the room cold again. Then you make a run on apress, then something breaks and you have to'turn blacksmith and weld a broken rod. Then you have some bills to pay, and not a great deal to pay with, then there is ink’ to order, coal to order, frozen pipes to thaw out, twenty five local advertisements are dead and fifty have to be set, ten new names have to be put on mailer and forty taken off, then more copy, then more customers, then more book posting. When you turn the key in your office door at night your work is: not done. You have been so busy during the day you could not sit at your desk and write news. In the first place you must have the news. You will take a spin over town on Shank’s pony which by the way is good exercise after a strenuous day at the office. It is bracing and the zero weather feels good to your nose as you poke it here and there after said news. By ten- thirty you will have gathered en- ough to keep you scribbling till thirty when you will be ready for taps. During the course of the day your mind will be upon as many different subjects at one time as there are minutes in every hour in the twenty four of the day and night. There are many more items than enumerated to occupy the attention of the pub- lisher of a country paper, in any day during a working day, but the above is a fair sample.

Nearly every farmer has business in town on Saturday and it would be saving a day if an ex- tra trip would be necessary to come for the wrappers, oemmg ACROSS THE ROOF By JACK LAWTON. . ADEACOGUERESAOEUEEEE a (Copyright, 1918, Western N: High up, at the back of the shabby old mansion, Dora began her career as an artist. And when the big rented room seemed unusually bare, Dora, with her happy sanguirtie spirit, con- gratulated herself upon its ‘sky-light.’ There were days, however, when the skylightlight failed to compensate. When these reflections threatened to overcome her, Dora would arise briskly to light the rose shaded lamp which was her comfort. “Silly,” she would reprove herself, “glooming away, while those same young people are envying your appar- ent royal road to fame and fortune; you should be grateful, my dear, grate- ful as can be, that you can sell sketches enough to almost pay your lodging.” Dora did not mention payment of food. Sometimes Dora's food was not worth mentioning. Paper bag meals as a rule, when she finished her draw- ings; a dinner or two as Celebration when the checks came -in. And so, working feverishly, saving much heat- ing, saving altogether too much food, it was not strange that the ambitious girl awakened one morning to find herself ill, on the camouflaged bed, which passed day’ times as a gorgeous couch, ‘ Dora wondered weakly, concerning the problem of meals which she would be unable to prepare, then gave up the problem in a long and dreamless sleep, When again her gray eyes opened shadows stretched across the room, while over the sloping roof beneath her window, came 9 stream of light from an opposite apartment. Dora liked to look into the brilliant rooms of this luxuriously appointed apartment building towering above the old shabby house. Almost it was like gazing upon the stage of a theater, gaily dressed women passing to and fro, men too, idling about the long, smoking room. One who came and went among them had the appearance of a distinguished actor. Dora liked his fresh fine youthful face beneath its crown of strangely white hair, Suddenly from the graveled roof be- neath her window, a round and furry ball came leaping over the sill, Dora leaned forward listening, until with a coaxing whine a small white dog stood beside her cot, putting forth a friend- ly paw. Delightedly the girl caught the ant- mal in her arms. * “You dear little thing—” she mur mured, then all at once Dora’s arms tay still. Anxiously the dog's moist nose- SR ee SS nT eS lai Sate a ai We have a nice line of bungalow aprons and house dresses ranging in price from $1.45 to $3.25 on which we will give you a discount of 20 per cent.

The handsome man of the white hair had just settled himself for an evening smoke, Before lowering the window shade he had looked across the roof toward a window that was darkened. and when he leaned back in his chair it was as with an air of disappointment. “You rascal,” he greeted the dog which scrambled panting to his knee, “playing truant again, eh?” But Fluff was in no mood for pet- ting. Fiercely she caught at the man’s sleeve, running a few steps from him she barked back appealingly, “What the dickens—” frowned the man.*it was evident that the dog was entreating him to follow. Doctor Wilton decided to ohey the animal’s whim. His mother’s raising of Fuff had made the little creature in some ways almost human: The doctor followed through the French door to the apartment roof, Ha hesitated as Fluff hounded across that other roof, then whimsically continued the chase, Disappearing over the sill of Dora’s window the dog still unmistakably called to him from inside. | In that one shaft of light the doctor saw a girl’s white upturned face—the girl’s face—he caught his breath.

Dora raised slowly her dark fringed lids. “Anything to eat today?” he asked, his fingers on her pulse. It was too much trouble to reply so the young artist shook her head.

I have a mother over in that building who has only Fluff upon which to lav- ish her care. It strikes me that you meed some care yourself. My mother will delight in giving it.” Suddenly stooping he lifted Dora’s light weight in his arms. Before the roof door of the apartment building he paused. “Of course, this is all a dream,” the girl murmured, “because I have so of- ten wished to be over here.” “Sometimes our dreams come true,” said the man, and as he looked down upon her into his eyes came a light of 2 Pee man’s size chew of Real Gravely.
