She bravely went to her desk and drew paper in front of her but her courage failed under the stress she had put upon it. She thought of him, her love for him, her dreams of him and with him. She was aroused by a step in the room, and turning, thinking it was one of the family, she saw him, toss- ing his hat into a chair. “Your mother €aid to come up, 80 I ' have, Marion. I want to know what you meant by what——" He came up #| [to her, and she rose drawing away o | | from him; but he was taller, and stronger than she, and she felt piti- fully weak in her deflance. “By what you said to me?” “Read this, and youll see what ground I had,” she answered in a low voice, holding out to him the note. He took it, read, it started at her, smile, and laughed. Then he caught her in his arms, and held her. “Listen, dear, I know now. But you are mis- taken. I wrote that note for this rea- son. One of the lads in the depart- ment I discovered trying to write a letter to his sweetheart during the ways int J L 5 GOt c s (L0E noon hour, He was having a hard S thir:tgei: t:;?:s:?fe:::;:Sttll:'e Taid I'time of it, and I offered—kidlike—to < i o help him, give him a form to use.

One glance told the story to Miss Leighton. It was the same even, char- acteristic hand with which she had been familiar. It began with “Dearest Ruth,” and went on into a tender love letter, brief but full of meaning, and , made an offer of an engagement for the following night, It was perfectly plain: It was his | letter. He was in love with some one unknown to her; he was even meeting her, as the proposed ergagement showed. ! “Go, Corley,” she sald. “No walit; | d1d you ask—where this—was found?” { “Yes, Fred found it in the waste. paper basket, It was crumpled a little | S and there was a slight mark on {t——"1 New York.—New York's only wom- “I see; thank you.

WOMAN BRAVE NIGHT WATCH New York’s Only Example Has Re pulsed Burglar—Believes “We'rs Good as Men.” She hung up the receiver, cumng‘ iicr Cléar cGlor @n | Tigure & heritage from her swedish ancestors, and there is Viking quality, to0, in her courage. “I'm not afraid,” she says simply. “Any woman would make as good a watchman as a man if she had his neive. I took it up after my husband died, so I could have a home for my little girl. If I went out to work she i\\culd be alone, but now when shs comes home from school I am here. | The little girl is rather a big little girl, for although Mrs. Astrid Wolfe is not thirty, her daughter Lillian is ten. “When 1 first took charge of this ! studio building I didn’t know quite | what my work would be, but the own- " er wanted a woman on duty at night, | because there are several ladies liv- }mg alone in the studios. I am here {in case they should be taken ill, but I have never had to do anything for any of them except to crawl down the iire escape and get the cat that nne of them locked in her studio and for- got when she went away for a week. “The two or three encounters that I have had with men have not been serious. When the house was being remodeled the fence next door at the back was torn down, and three young men came in one night and sat on the steps. 1 went over and told them they would have to move, because I knew I would be held responsible for anything that happened while the fence was down and the people were away. “‘What right have you got to ask us to move? one of them asked. ‘We're going to stay right here.’ “'No you are not,’ I said, and I took hold of his collar and jerked him up to his feet. He started to strike | back at me, but 1 pulled out the police- Imun's whistle that I wear around my | neek, and they ran off in a hurry. A | burglar that I caught trying to get |into the house where I was care- I taker uptown did strike me, and dis- located my shoulder. It pains me still sometimes, but it hasn't made me afraid | “Women would make good watch- men in almost any building, as far as I can see. I should be quite willing to i tuke charge of an oflice building, The scrubwomen are there nearly all night, cand even when they are not there is no danger if you are not afraid. Women caretakers are very much needed now in the subway and elevated !womeu's dressing rooms. Men never get anything clean. They slop a lit- | Ue dirty water about and never look to see if the dirt is gone. Women | strent inspectors and policewomen i would not be a bad thing, either.” Not Illegal.
