WILSON HARDWARE CO. | | | EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA,, JUNE 1, 1914. SHORTEST WAY HOME, By KATHERINE HOPSON, | “We're sorry to lose you, Stewart, | but don’t blame you for going. It's a good chance—better than we can of- fer you here, perhaps for years.” Mr. Denham, managing editor of the Recorder, shook hands with Dick Stew- | art cordially. The younger man, aft- er thanking him, passed out of the office with a little glow of pride and | happiness. | “Old Denham's a mighty good sort, | and he’s rightt I'm a lucky chap w:’ get the place,” he mused as he left | the private office. The outer office, which had been well occupled when | Stewart passed for his interview with Mr. Denham, was now practically de- serted. The men had gone to fill their assignments—except Fred Da- vis. He was clicking away at his typewriter. “Good luck to you,” he said, look- ing up with his keen, peculiar smile. Stewart left the office to fill his last assignment before taking his new position. He was sent to cover the suburban territory of Rockbridge, and departeq with more than usual alac- rity. Margaret Wheaton's path hyv in the same direction today. When she came six months ago to fill the position of soclety reporter for the office, he had fallen in love with her big brown eyes, her kindli- ness, her spontaneous gayety, and the general dearness of her. But he rec- ognized the fact that Fred Davis also had fallen victim to her charms. “No wonder he congratulated me so G0O0D ADVICE A Lakeland Citizen Gives Informa- tion of Priceless Value When you suffer from backache, Headaches, dizziness, nervousness, Feel weak, languid, depressed, Have annoying urinary disorders; Do you know what to do?

Nor did he see him re- peat the same watchful perform- ance before they both alighted at Rockbridge. Stewart hastily covered his own ter- ritory, then hastened to the church where the Patton-Whitney wedding had just taken place, the reporting of which was Margaret's object in com- ing to Rockbridge. She had come down on an earlier car, and Stewart had timed himsell so that he might arrive on the scene when she was fin- | ished with her work. Then he could return to town with her, He found reporters from other pa- pers there and stood a few moments in the fragrant flower decorated church in which strains of the wed- ding music seemed still to linger. Margaret was not there and he made inquiries. Some one told him she had just gone; but whether to the station or to the Whitney home where the reception was to be, he couldn’'t say. Stewart looked at his watch. “There won't be another car for three-quarters of an hour yet. I guess she's gone to the house.” Accordingly he made his way to the place in question. It was one of the largest, most pretentious homes in the suburb. Many persons in wed- ding attire were streaming to the reception when he reached the house, and he made his way through the guests and onlookers with which the walk was lined. From one of the care- takers he learned that Margaret had been there. By announcing himself as a representative of the Recorder he galned entrance. Everybody except the girl he was looking for seemed to be there, and the most careful search failed to reveal her. “Say, how many people does your paper send out to write up these so cial affairs? asked one of the guests | whom he knew, “One—usually. Why?” “Well, you're the third this after- noon who has presented himself ia that capacity. I believe the first one was a her,” laughed the man, “Miss Wheaton, of course, our reg- ular society reporter. But I don't know any other from our office who | would be here.” “Oh, he was a tall, slim chap, with shifty dark eyes.” “The description fits Davis, but he was sitting In the office when I left.”” | Stewart rapldly retraced his steps to the station, and found to his cha- grin that in his search he had not al- lowed himself enough margin to catch the next car, and missed it by about three minutes. He could see it dis- appearing in the distance. “Yes, Miss Wheaton got on thi car,” drawled the station agent in an- | swer to the question. “Was any one with her?” | For Sale in Lakeland by HENLEY & REMLEY WIDEAWAKE PEOPLE SAVE MONEY BY READING THE ADS.

Cut across back way and got on the smoker.” He sat down and wrote out in full the notes of the legal transfers he was sent to cover. “I can slap them off on the typewriter when 1 get back,” he told himself. His sense of resentment was growing. He had re- ceived the letters from New York that | morning giving final acceptance of his application for a position. Denham had strongly advised him to take the morning train.
