Young Whitman, who lives in & suburb, was standing with his back to the approaching train one morning, ‘peacefully gazing upon the autumnal landscape, with a bundle of newspa- ! pers under his arm—it was young' Whitman’s habit to buy all the news- papers in order to get what he called a broad point of view—when he felt a slight tug at the topmost paper. In- stinctively he tightened his grip. There was another tug, this time & more decided one. !t was also slightly impatient, and it was successful. As the newspaper slipped fromn under his arm young Whitman was aware that a coin was being pressed into his hand. He turned just in time to catch a glimpse of a pink, softly curved cheek under an engulfing hat, and to see the young woman deftly whip her spoils into a shape convenient for ul\- rying as she ran. Before he could recover his breath sufficiently to call to her his assailant had become lost in the crowd that was boarding the train. All he could be sure of was the pink cheek, a hat that looked to his bewildered masculine eye like all the other hats that were bbing about the siation gnd a blue serge suit. \onng Whitman looked at the coln in his hand; then he looked at the e _| néwspapers that remained under his arm. She had taken his favorite, the one that he really depended upon for his literary meal. Then he looked up into the grinning countenance of & neighbor. “Took you for a newsboy, did she?” chortled the neighbor. Once more young Whitman looked down at the money in his hand. He held it out helplessly. *“Can you beat that?” he said, dazedly, In spite of his loss, the memory of that pink check remained pleasantly with young Whitm:n for some time, For its sake ne took a decided inter est in nondescript hats and blue serge suits for several weeks after ward. Probably it was this newly de- veloped interest that made him notice one evening in the street car which | was bearing him and a number of others over to his station that directly in front of him sat a pink-cheeked wearer of a blue serge suit and a hat @ | of the kind already inadequately de-| . % | scribed. He was some little distance behind % | the young woman and when on getting €| out he passed the seat in which she had been sitting he saw that she had He seized “I beg your pardon,” he sald, raising “but I think you left this in The girl looked down at the parcel, she said. “Thank you ever 8o much.” She moved to the sidewalk and a lit- tle way out of the crowd without ta- king the parcel. an enormous handbag. After a moro or less prolonged “scrabble” among its contents she brought forth a small purse. She scanned its contents eagerly. “Dear me,” young Whitman heard her murmur. “I haven't a thing but a quarter. I suppose I'll have to give him that.” The parcel was taken from him with hasty courtesy. Once more he felt a coin pressed into his hand. A vagucly fmpersonal voice breathed, “Thank you ever so much.” and the owner of the parcel had disappeared trainward. | —— r| Young Whitman stood still, pounde ing. “I bet you anything.” he remarked, presently, to homself, “that that is the very same girl. It is fate!” Nimbly and shamelessly he rushed into the train, searched until he found the girl in the blue serge suit, und then seated himself directly behind her. He was determined that he would at least know her next time they met. He was so confident that another meeting had .been arranged by fate that he felt no surprise when upon go- ing over to call some evenings later upon bis friends the Parkinsons he found there the girl of the tips. Mrs. Parkineson presented him to her, in- forming him that the girl was Parkin- sno's sister, and that she was going to pass the winter with them. +The rest followed naturally enough. They are married now. “My dear,” young Mrs. Whitman says whenever her husband starte to tell the story of their early encoun- ters, “really, the only thing I noticed about him each time was bis shoes— they were shockingly rusty and worn. It you could have seen them! He insists that I said a quarter was 100 much for him, but, as a matter of fact, I would have gladly given him more, for his shoes looked as if he must be hungry. I'm glad I married him any way, for now I make him keep his shoes looking respectable.”—Chicago Duaily News. Polite but Empty. The age when we boasted of hold- ing our own opinions is past. Today, if we possess any view at all, it is not | usual to express them. This is @ polite, a non-controversial age, one in which one fears to confess to strong feelings. To hold one’s own opinion is to risk being called opinionated. and the world today would avoid that at all costs. Our conversation has de- generated Mto a state of non-commit- tal phraseology, and a superficial amiability is the right note to strike. Amiable we must be, the world de- mands it; argument is the worst of ! form. There was a time when two sub- | jects only—politics and religion—were | held taboo; today all subjects that mylulw‘hmmhhnofl- ed.—London Mirrer, LAK ELAND, FLA,, JAN. 2, 1913, Then she opened and | plunged her hand into the recesses of | PAGE SEVER.
