When Miss Alice Romley entered | facturing firm, she met Roy Hillard | for the first time. That meeting | served to make her interested in him | and the interest grew from friendship | into something else.

She learned, too, that Hillard had money {in his own right—a considerable amount fact, but as it had been the wish of his father that he enter busi- ness with Lake he had done so. He was lazy, never on time, always put- ting off his work.

One starry night, when it seemed g0ood to be alive, and good to be be- 8ide him, he proposed. She was startled, yet she had read it in his | eyes days before. His first words | thrilled her, the next angered her, for ' he was proposing as he did every- thing, carelessly, good-naturedly, as if it didn’'t amount to much anyway. Marriage involved giving up the busi- ness career for which she had fitted herselt, and of which she had | dreamed. It was not a matter to be talked of in other than a serivus way. His manner argered her. She told him, frankly, that she ' would not marry him that he was still on overgrown boy, ard hadn’t a aeri- ous thought in the world, and that a girl liked to have the thuoght of mar- | riage with her regarded as the biggest thing fn the world. His open, smling face grew serious, i for )nce, as she went on, and she ' found she could not scold when words of a scclding nature bounded off so easily. Before they had returned, r*e was smiling herself, but under her smiling exterior was her detremina- tion never to marry him. She told him so flatly. The next day a small bomb burst in the office. Hillard appeared late, and making no effort to make up for lost time, he aroused Lake's long su’. fering wrath, with the result that i the room full of stenographers heard the irate, bittter-tongued man turn on Hilllard a stream of condemnation in which he ripped Hilard's character into shreds and showed it up before Hillard himself in its bare truth. Not stopping there he went on to dis- charge him, closing with the words, “You aren't halt a man! Get out! Mis- Romley, you take his work.” Hilurd stood, white to the lips, his fair, good-natured face stiff under a | new emotion, then he turned toward | ' the cloak-room without a word. Alice Romley had realized her ambl. | she was the chosen cl.rl: of the | manufacturer, and she labored to { ghow her value to him. He seemed pleased by her efforts, and she certain- | tlo*; ly was by the size of her pay check and his words. Of Hillard, she heard nothing after his departure. She missed him keen- | 1y, and she began to belleve it was all right. after all, to have a nature that geey only the sunny side of life, even ! 1t guch a nature never gets one any- where. No word came from him, and ghe ¢id not write for she had no idea where he was The first inkling came through a note from one of their western man- agers, gaving that the first of acrop of salesmen were intruding on his ter- | ritory with an article similar to theirs, but better made and cheaper, and that his men were getting the worst of it right along. Lake's face had looked worried aft- | a large profit on their goods, and that he had been afraid of the advent of I competitors, Tha next report from the west was | er that.

On Lis face were the signs of the terrific struggle in which he had taken part.

Lake, humbled by the evi dence that Hilla;d had been the pows er behind the competition, surrender- ed. The terms were discussed and I drawn up by Miss Romley.

He went | on to tell Lake that the words he spoke had ripped the mask from his own life, and he had seen’ how useless It was. He offered Lake the posi- tion of eastern manager. Lake gulp- ed a little, and asked for time to think it over. Hillard agreed, and his voice was kindly. When Lake went out, she expected Hilard to go, too, but she heard his steps come back toward her desk. She was afraid of him now, she knew, and she did not lift her face; but she mas- tered her fears enough to say, “Well, Mr. Hillard, 1 suppose I am dis- charged, and must needs seek a new position.” She sald it as playfully as she could. He did not answer, but she felt his hands come down, and lift her to her feet. Bhe knew then by the touch what w ‘s coming. The suddenness of it made her tremble a little, and she thrust ter face against his coat, as ::l strong arms drew her close to m, “Yes, you are discharged, Alice, but I want to give you the highest posi- tion a man can offer a girl. I want you to be my partner in the business of building a homo and happiness. Are you willing?" Soothed by the quiet sense of pow- er, the low thrill of emotion in his | voice, she loowed up into his eyes. In them, far back, was the gleam of the old good nature, Her answer was not in words, but it sealed the agreement, (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) RATHER GAVE MAMMA AWAY To an Observing Mind There Would Appear to Have Been Some Point to Kitty's Questioning. — A new family had moved into the house next door to the Smiths, accord- ing to a story told by Postmaster General Hitchcock, and little Kitty Smith was on the back porch of her own home cultivating the acquain- tance of the little girl on the opposite porch. “What's your name?” she asked. “Florence,” replied the newcomer. “What's yours?" “Katherine,” was the answer, “but they always call me Kitty. The name of the folks that used to live here be- fore you came was Jones.” E “Our name 1s Thompson,” sald the new girl. “We came all the way from Baltimore.” “Our name 1s Smith,” returned Kit- ty. “Say, you never met the Joneses, did you?” | “Oh, no” rejoined the new girl. | “Not your Joneses.” “They was just something awful for borrowing,” volunteered Kitty. “They used to send over to our house three or four times a week to borrow coffee, sugar and things, and never pald it back. Say, yeu folks don’t borrow like ' that, do you?” “Oh, no,” was the reassuring re sponse of the new girl. “She says they don’t, mamma!” called out Kitty, turning around and facing the half-open door of the Smith | home.—Philadelphia Telegraph. | Grow Trees From Top Down. | A foreign railway company has solv. ed the plan of getting good shade trees in a shert time, thought they may be small. The trees are so ar ranged that after two years’ time they will give as much shade as trees in the ordinary way of setting out would | glve that are 15 or 20 years old. The . company gets a small elm tree, pre- ferably, digging this, roots and all, from the ground. The tree then s set, the top part being set into the ground and the roots are left in the air. The tree then grows, forms roots on what originally was the top of the tree, and the original roots that now take the i PAGE ERVEN, POFODOFOPOEOPIIISTHLOTONN = St 2ud ut el St SutTul 2el ol ne e ] Come to us for the goods ‘MY LINE INCLUDES advertised in JoHNsoN & Jomnson's | Newspapers Magazines First Aid Handbook NCW BEING DISTRIBUTED.
