With the muff be- fore her eyes and the wind in her ears, Adele had neither seen nor heard the Instinctively she threw herself back with a cry, tripped and fell. It was all over in a second. The car stopped within a few yards of the accident and a man sprang out and ran back. The girl was sitting up by this time, but was too stunned and shaken to stand, although she tried to when she saw someone coming, but her brain was spinning and she sank down help- lessly. The man was beside her in an in- stant trying to raise ber in his arms, at the same time calling to the chaut- feur to bring back the car at once. Adele’s floating senses returned. “l —] am not hurt a bit, thank you. I— will be—all right in a minute and you do not need to help me at all.” The man noticed with contrition how small and slight she was and how pretty the pale little face was, al- though almost ghastly in the rays of the electric street light. But she was smiling bravely and the confusion in her sweet brown eyes may or may not have been due to the fall. “I am so sorry,” sald the man sim- ply. “I'll never forgive myself. 1 get tired tellilng Wilson to not drive so close to the curb, I just let him go sometimes. But to tell the truth, you were 80 near the pole neither of us saw you until you jumped. By George, t's just too bad! Sure you are all right?” “Sure,” smiled Adele. “No sprained ankles? Try to stand on your right foot. That's the ticket! Now your left.” Adele obeyed. Everybody obeyed John Moreland when he spoke that way. “How's the head? Aching I'll bet. No? Well, it you are going to the city you will let us take you in, won't you? Not to make amends, but to be certain you will stay all right. You might faint or something after we were gone.” “0, no thank you,” declined Adele hastily. *Please do not be so remorse. ful about my falling. I was too near to the street and it wasn't your fault at all. Here s my car. Good morn- ing.” There was nothing to do but to help her onto the car and lift his hat, But he felt mean about the whole affair and took it out on Wilson the entire trip into town. He was, however, soon deep in business affairs—no man in { town had so many irons in the tire— | and he forgot the incident ot the morning. Adele had no luck that day get- ting subscriptions for the books she was selllng. Of course, they were good books and everybody ought to want them, but somehow the busy men in busy offices either had no time to see her at all or their minds were too intent on their own affairs to get the least bit Interested. She was tired and discouraged. While eating her luncheon she sat thinking of some new plan. “I have 1t,” she exclaimed, suddenly, to her- self. “I am going to try the gambler's system of sticking to one number till be wins. Only I shall try a name, I'll stick to one name till somebody sub- scribes for my books. Let's see! What are some names of companies? Central, Ideal, Union, Manhattan, Consolidated, Mutual. There, that sounds the most promising—Mutual— should be good for all of us. Mutual 1t {s. Now for the directory.” There she found, under business addresses, enough Mutual Clothing companies, hat companies and companies of this, that and the other kind to keep her busy for weeks. The first on the list was tha Mutual Hat company. It proved to be a whole- sale concern selling summer headgear and the manager merely pointed to- ward the snow swept street and told (& her to come back in July. Adele, noth- ing daunted by her lack of success in the new system, next tried the Mutual Furniture company and left, a little later, proud in the knowledge that she had triumphantly escaped being sold a bookcase by the head salesman, who evaded every effort to talk books, but who was said to be the best salesman in the state. “He would actually sell Santa Claus his own reindeer, laughed Adele, who had a keen sense of humor, even though she was disap- pointed. She next tried the Mutual Fire In- surance company and what was her surprise when the office boy admitted {1y long before our own time; but our ! her to the sanctum sanctorum of her |children, we hope, will see more clear- , acquaintance of the morning.

But she thought a great' deal of the man.

He recognized her as the little book agent who had visited him a few days before, but some- where—a bafled look came into his eyes, Adele colored and turned to leave. The man jumped to his feet.

It 1s not long since a party of dons, schoolmasters and other professional men, found themselves on a holiday tour at Caerwent, say the London Na- tion. A doctor, who had been pro- foundly uninterested in the fortifica- tions and general antiquities, drifted into languid attention at the sight of case of Roman surgical instruments in the museum, and was soon observ- ed to warm into real excitement.
