And Letty—you remember Letty, who used to be in service here. Well—say, I'd best start right at the beginning. “Letty was the housemaid at this hotel when Anthony was King & Co.'s best saleeman. Her mother had brought her up very strict, and when she died Letty was only eighteen and knew about as much of the world as a child does, The house was worth about two thousand, for property had been going up for a long time; but Letty couldn’t live on nothing while it was ,on the market, so she came to the ‘tavern’ as second housemaid. In those | daye service of that kind wasn't con- sidered anyways lowering in Wake- field. “Anthony was staying over night. It was a small town on his route, and he | hadn’t made many sales that year, and | he was naturally a bit depressed. But ! her. . newed his grouch, when he saw Letty sweeping down the hall he brightened up a bit. Anthony always liked a pretty face. So he comes up to her. “*Hello, kid, you sure are a peach,’ he says, and kisses her. That done, he goes into his room, thinking no more about it. “Letty was flabbergasted. She had always been taught that to kiss a girl meant you wanted to marry her, and here was a perfect stranger who had kissed her the minute he eet eyes on The little fool put down her broom and began to ery with happi- ness. Anthony was about forty and rather fat and flashily dressed, but he was all gold in Letty's eyes. “Next morning Aunthony, having re- room carrying his sult case. He met Letty, who had been waiting on the etairs. ‘Morning, miss,’ said Anthony, and pagsed on, leaving Letty still more | flabbergastod. { when n'eht cume ghe had m ! mind. 1 Anthony wou'In't want to ma | in servi } | star- about the head.

By the end of the year Letty was a fair stenog- rapher and bookkeeper, and, as the younz woman vwho kept books for the ‘tavern’ was leaving to get married, Letty stepped into her shoes. The salary was a dollar less than her wages had been when she held the broom, but she was mighty glad. “At the end of the year Anthony comes on his route 1in, and when Letty looked up fr Ler books and saw him standing, waiting to register, her heart beat so that she couldn’t speak. “Anthony looked at her, grouch began to clear away., ways liked prett 3 You sure are a peach, kiddo,’ he sald, and chucked her under the chin, ‘How about the movics tonight? “With that he wa poor Letty in a heaven of eest god had noticed her again; going to take her 1 chap was a king in Letty's ¢ “I gues anted Ler out a . thongh he h slightest notion that he had ever met her before.

She weuldn't have anything to do with the young fellows of Wake- field, but she was always nice to trav- eling men. About the time when An- thony was due again ehe began to ask timid questions about him. But no- body told her much; you see, they guessed something had happened be- tween them. But at last Letty got the truth from a young salesman who was making the rounds. “‘Anthony? he asked. ‘Why, he won't be here any more. I'm covering his territory now for King & Co. You | see, they caught him with the goods, | miss.’ “‘Goods? inquired Letty, puzzled. “‘Yes. Two thousand dollars he had taken to gamble with.

Tlicre was something tragical about Letty in little things. People didn't like the way she looked into their minds. “Mr. King was growing uncomfort- able when Letty burst out: ‘If I pay you will you let him out, Mr. King?" “‘lI beg your pardon. Whom are you talking about? asked the head of the firm. “‘Mr. Anthony, sir,” said Letty, de- positing her two thousand dollars upon the table, and Mr. King stared harder than ever. “‘Who are you? he asked, eyeing first her and then the money. ‘You ain't his wife, because he wasn’t mar- ried last time 1 heard.’ “‘I'm going to be, said Letty qui- etly. “Well, King was glad enough to drop the proceedings, and he took Letty round to the jail to see him. Anthony didn’t feel too good to see King, but when he learned that he was to be free he saw the point. “*You can thank this young wom- an instead of me," says Mr. King. *‘And let me tell you I wouldn't have taken her money if it hadu't been for the fact that she was engaged to you.
