I The office was : sorry in polite silence. Even the crass unthinkingness of youth does {not tell a man that he is nearly past what is called “marrying time,” that his shoulders begin to stoop from ¢ sk work, that his hair is thinning at the has no “girl.” The office would not have known just how to put it, eith- | er, so its silence was Inarticulateness | as well as courtesy. Not that Peasly noticed them particularly, If he thought of them at all it was that they were a giggly lot—if the boss happened to step out, and that some- times he had to add a column of fig- ures up twice because of their chat- | ter. ; This afternoon Harringzton was leaning over the typist, and sharpen- ing her pencils while she turned her fresh young face up to him and spoke of dancing somewhere. Then Norton and Miss Farley chinned in, and even Saunders relaxed from his managerial task and listened. They planned a Saturday afternoon office force—"and friends"—picnie, and Peasly felt left out. Nobody thought of or included him. He bent his kind, rugged face over his work. What did ke care? He had not been to a picnic for ages. He did not want to go now—but they might have asked him; he was human, M, too, Peasly, you'll have You mump over ley spoke: to come aloug fyour work, You'll dry up and blow La“'yel‘l. ?;1\\.(_\' sene Come on with the | drywut Block, Phene X19 ©00N 7 RAYMONDO BUILDING | rest of ‘ othe 4 | ed, covortly watehi Lakeland, Fla ! e (0 0 ] udden jokes? 50 A ! : : | at her demure hrown ey and calm ~-Lawyers— Filids [ “Allvight,” Lo said. “Fli b Raymondo Bldy | o go."

Harrington, literal crea- ture, thought “romance” meant noth- ing but falling in love, and being but twenty-ono himself, thought that thir. ty-five had no heart. Robert Peasly shone that day. He renewed his youth. His very shoul ders seemed to straighten, his eye was bluer and brighter, his kindly, rugged face allve with interest. He was ev- erywhere at once, amusing, interest- ing, a self the office had hitherto not suspected. He made coffee over a campfire, and told storles that senmt everybody into a laugh. What had happened to old sobereldes? They glanced inquiringly at each other.

Then—I hap pened to overhear what wasn't meant for me—I knew how the boss—" “He wouldn't—dare to love me—I—" the tears came, and as she turned to him he put an arm about her. It came very easy and naturally. He found that love-making does not have to be learned, and drew her close to him and held her there. “Forgive me,” he sald, heaven to me—" “What—do you—think it is to me— | you foolish, foolish—" She lifted her | head and pushing him away sprang up ! and stood lightly before him holding her hands clasped like a happy child. “1 think," she said “that I have been us good at keeping a—romance to my- sclf as you are.

She came to him willingly enough this time, but rot for long. She jumped up and pull- ed him with her. “We musn't miss that car.” He wondered why they mustn't.

Gold Coins Show Wear, Are the gold colns of the United States to circulate until their denomi- nations are effaced? Out west, where many of them are in the banks and in the pockets of the people, the abraded coing are mever presented to the sub- treasuries for redemption, because, un- like the silver coins, they cannot be redeemed at their face value. Below the “limit of tolerance” permitting a loss in welght of one-half of one per cent, the treasury deducts four cents a grain. The worn coins maintain their parity of value only by consent of individuals passing and recelving them.—New York Times.
