i + PAGE TWO A MAN OF FAITH By :IAROLD CARTER. When Billy Durham was at school be was the butt of his companions, because he believed everything that be wae told. As he grew older, how- ever, instead of jeering at him the fel- lows used to go to him with their con- fdences. He had that captivating trankness and belief in human nature that, when genuine, proved irresistible. It was just the same when Billy was discharged from the Insurance office. Mr. Somers, the manager, had been or~ dered to lay off some of the employes. | He thought Billy was not cut out for the insurance business. “You'd better lay off for a while and look round to gee if you don’t find something more suited to you,” he said. He never expected to see Billy agaln, but, five weeks later, Billy was found at his desk one morning. “I didn't see anything I like better, 8o 1 came back,” he said. Billy stayed and was pro- moted to be assistant manager by old Rayden, who had taken a fancy to the young man. 0Old Rayden, being a millionaire, was not the man to pick up an insignificant subordinate and take him into his home. However, Billy had been to the Madison avenue maneion once or twice with important papers. He had seen Elsie Rayden there and had at once fallen in love with her. With his sime plicity ot mind, it did not occur to him that there would be any difficulty about marrying her, provided he could make her love him. That summer he brooded over his work, hoping agalnst hope that the occasion would arise for him to go to Mr. Rayden's house again. But he was pot summoned, and presently he dis- | covered through the papers that Elele Rayden was spending July at Atlan- tio City. Billy took his vacation in July and ‘went there. He met Miss Rayden on the board walk and, taking off his hat, reminded her who he was. Elsie Ray- den was at once amused and inter~ ested. Bhe was tired of society life, and she had begun to suspect that she ‘was in love with Mr. Gerald Lomax, who had been reported in the newspa. ! 1 !’:nr:l several times as paying her at Isn't there some misunderstanding | Of thin material.

Miss Elsie had a plan in mind. 8he wanted to discover whether Ger- ald loved her, by the simple process of trying to make him jealous. She timed Billy's second visit so that 1t should coincide with Gerald's regu- lar Sunday trip to Atlantic City, and for an hour the two men sised each other up, while Miss Elsie chatted THE EVENING TELBGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., SEPT. 4, 1914. ‘ amiably turn, and both together. Billy was the first toleave and some- thing which might have been called a “ccene” in less exalted circles hap- pened afterward. The next time Billy called Miss Elsie was more encours aging than ever. That wase the begin- ning of & week of ecstacy for the young fellow. They went for long country walks, they swam and drove, they pat- | ronized theaters and all the amuse- ments. And presently the inevitable society item found its way into the! New York papers. 1 “Rumor has it that Mr. Willlam Durham and Miss Elsie Rayden will shortly announce their engagement.” | Billy read the item and turned white | with indignation. He went straight to| Miss Elsie's hotel and slapped the newspaper down on the table before her. H “I don’t know what cur put that in,” he said, “but I want to make it true.

Why don't you want me? | “Yes, there has been a misunder- standing,” growled Mr. Rayden, who, being a self-made man, had not much tact. “I misunderstood your sense of honor when you went to Atlantic City and got my daughter talked about.” “But—I wanted to—I mean, I—O, Elsie, won't you think it over?” stam- mered Billy. And Elste did. (Copyright, 1914, by W..G.

Pale violet ribbon strings are sewn on inside the box and may be tled over the.handkerchief in the manner shown in diagram B. Prior to covering it, the surface of ! the 1id should be slightly padded with a thin laver of cotton wool, and the bottom of the box can be finished off with a remnant of almost any kind TO FASTEN HOOKS AND EYES Well to Remember If One Would Pre- vent Blouse Bulging In an Un- sightly Manner.
