! —— T T Y Y v HER IHEATANGE By FRANK FILSON. i 23 Little Miss Raymond read the letter | = When one is thirty years of age,’ not prepossessing, and a stenographer on $15 a week, the future does not look very promising. Miss Raymond had bought a new suit that very week. She had almost decided to let it go back, although she knew that she looked most attractive in it. But now, of course, there would be many | suits and dresses. Then the thought of Philip Barton struck home to her, and she flushed | guiltily, and the mirage of new dresses ! suddenly disappeared. Philip was her only friend in the big city. He had lived in the same rooming house for three years, and they had been fast friends all that | time. He had confided to her that if : he had a certain sum he could start ' a profitable undertaking in the manu- BIG MEN, RICH MEN, BUSY.MEN, ARE ALL LOOKING FOR YOUNG MEN WHO CAN FILL IMPORTANT JOBS.

After dinner he drew the typewrit- ten letter from his pocket and read it to her. An anonymous person, who had the gravest reasons for doing so, wished to bestow the sum of $3,000 upon him. That sum had been depos- ited in a certain bank to his account, and he was asked to make no effort to discover the identity of the sender. He had been to the bank, and the money was there. The manager had told him that the mysterious depositor was & woman; she had explained to him that she wished to remain un- known to him. The manager knew nothing of her, but he had accepted the money subject to an investigation of Philip's record. So the money was as good as his. | “And after this I am going to pay the bill every Saturday night,” said The Newest * " The Cream of All lce Creams People all ove beside her plate and lool dazed '.,.p It lnnoune::d t::th:h: courses little Miss Raymond watched where. p ~ Vol had fallen heir, most unexpectedly, to| li8 BADPY face in mute sorrow.
