EGBERT. “Why, yes, anbody could open those machines.” said Frank Meath to Mar- | jorie. “You see, you take a piece of | ordinary picture wire and bend it; | then you insert the loop in the lock and feel for the wards, and then—" “Frank, you haven't been pilfering trom automatic slot machines!” de- clared Marjorle, looking at him se- verely. “Of course not, Marjorie. But what 1 mean ig, anybody could. You see, the principle of the lock is—" Marjorie turned away to hide the trembling of her lips. It was not all mirth, either, that she was trying to conceal, for a very little might have brought tears into her eyes just then. You see, they were standing before an automatic machine at Coney Island, and by inserting a penny—only a sin- gle penny—it was possible to obtain a photograph of your future husband or wife, according to which slot you made use of. And Marjorie had gone out with Frank for nearly two years. And | only the week before his salary had been raised to twenty-five by the Ex- celsior Safe Company. Had she known it, however, F‘nnk! Meath’s apparent preoccupation in the mechanism of the automatic slot ma- chine was due to intense timidity. For he bad taken Marjorie to Coney Wwith the firm determination to ask her the question which he had been wanting to ask ever since their first meeting. And he had almost screwed his deter- mination up to the point of doing so when—well, it went out of his finger tips and he began talking about locks front of the identical machine. Then Frank’s tongue broke loose. “I wonder—" he stammered— *I wonder—" “Yes?” inquired Marjorie. “Did you ever put a penny in any of these machines? I mean just for amusement, Marjorie.” “No, but I'll try,” she answered, and placed a penny in the ladies’ side. The | machine promptly delivered a photo- graph of a young man with a curled mustache, staring dark eyes and a tie that, from its intensity of shadow- ing, must have been very conspicuous in the original. And he did not look in the least like Frank. “You try.” she sald. Frank Meath obeyed, put in his coin, turned the crank, and found himseif staring at a photograph of—Marjorie. He stared at it; he stared at her. That was the identical dress with the chiffon; that was the hat; and— Nobody was in sight. “Marjorie!” he exclaimed; and that was all that he could ever remember. For when he felt Marjorie's lips on his everything else became the merest shadow of a dream. “Marjorie,” he sald presently, “how did it happen? Do you suppose there’s really anything in the thing? How could your photograph have got there? I'm going to try again?” “Don't!” said Marjorie. She was too late, for the machine had already delivered another photo- graph of Marjorle, and then it deliv- ered another, and then one more, and then—" “0 Marjorie, what an ass I've been,” sald Frank humbly. “To think I made you put them there—" “How dare you!” said Marjorle, stamping her foot angrily. “But—" “But 1 had a photograph too, and The Lady of the _l_'Iiiuse By Ward Trail (Copyright, 1912, E Assoclated Literary S. ress.) She met him first at the oyster supper in the Memorial church base- ment where she was helping to serve. Coming from the little kitchen with a large tray heavily loaded with | “fry,” she had looked very prettyl with her face framed with Ilittle curling tendrils and flushed from ex- | ertion, and he had gone to her in-| stantly. He relieved her of the heavy tray and masterfully took her over to ut' supper with him, and she did not serve any more that evening. They were never introduced because every one thought from the look of recog- nition that passed between them that they had met before. He laugh- fngly called her attention to it, ex- plained it to her obvious satisfaction and demanded her name in exchange for his. All her life Electra Arnold had lived in Rockville, and all during the grown-up portion of her life she had been waiting for the right man to come and take her away. She hoped he would take her to New York. She had spurned the tentative attentions of the village swains that she might be fancy free when he came. In her dreams his name had always been Charles Algernon, nothing else, but when he owned up to Arthur Taswell Palmer, she thought that even better. He saw her every day and escorted and up to her room. The fashion magazines she hid under the bureau and the samples were consumed ruth- lessly in the open grate. Two red spots burned in her cheeks and she had forgotten that she was hungry. Presently she heard the sound of wheels on the hard road outside the gate. “I'll just drive on down to the cars and wait for her there,” the grave, tender volce floated up to her, and she threw herself on her bed In agony, stuffing the corner of the spread into her mouth lest she call him back. Next morning’s mail brought her & letter. “My darling,” it ran, “I was o dis- appointed at not finding you last night. How could you go away with- out letting me know? I had a wire today calling me to New York at once on some preliminary business in connection with my new job, and I must leave at eight tonight. I love you, Electra. “Arthur T. Palmer.” Electra turned hot and cold as she read the note. He was called to New York. Yes, after last night, he had all the material he needed! He was false, false, false, and he had kissed her and made her say she loved him! She buried her face in her hands. For a week daily letters came from him, but she hid them away—un- opened. A paper came also, addressed in his writing, and that was sadly put away with the letters. And then one day after dinner she slipped off down by the big pines to be alone, but her mother, glancing out of the window, had seen her go. So when Mr. Palmer called she sent him there. Electra, sobbing with hidden face, did not know any one was near unti! she was gathered up in his arms.

Others there were who loved Electra, and they warned her of the dangers of taking up with a map whose people no one knew. He might even be married. The warnings fell on deaf ears. He told her of his work; he was a writer, and one day he told her that he had succeeded in landing in an editorial chair at a salary that per- mitted him to marry and live in New York. She mever knew exactly what it was he had said or what she had answered, but he had kissed her again and again and slipped a ring on her i fi“ Hours 9 to 11, 2 to 4, evenings 710 8 |4/ i0pq Over Postoffice For when he looked at her, in her Lakeland, Florida neatly fitting blue gown and her hat | ————————————AA, framing a pretty face set in an aureole of fair hair, he just felt like a worm. | Ahwr‘.’fi%exg:m He was sure nobody could have the B' X courage to ask Marjorle.

Little by little he got the whole story of his perfidy from her. “But surely when the lady came you understood?” “Nobody came. Oh, did you dare to send her here?” she moaned, straining away from him. Suddenly he took his arms from about her shoulders and shook her soundly. “Stop 1t!” he commanded and set- tled her back against a tree. “Now,” % gald, folding his arms and looking in her eyes, “do you mean to tell me that you didn’t get my letters?” « got some, b-but I didn’t open any after the one where you said you were going away.” «Then I suppose you did not open “The Lady of the House” either?” “What?" “«A sample copy of the magazine I am to edit in order to afford to marry you.

There are also a large number of independent publications by Turkish authors on these and oth- P er modern topics. Text books for P use in Turkish schools are prepared to u meet the needs of a modernized cur- riculum. Instead of merely reading the fables and historical stories the modern Turkish schoolboy uses graded reading books prepared in ac- cordance with the latest pedagogic {ideas. Standard works of European litera- ture are being translated into Turkish, and modern popular novels, principally Prench, have a large scale. Of purely American literature little has been translated, but the American de- tective stories are. finding great fa- vor among Turkish youth.

By Tues- day Frank Meath had resigned him- self to the inevitable. On Wednesday the years did not seem quite so lonely after all. Perhaps Marjorie would go with him to the Island once in a while and there, when they were old people, he would some day tell her the story of his hopeless love. On Thursday he had recovered suf- ficlently to invite her to accompany him on the Saturday. On Friday be bought & new straw hat and a tle. On Saturday her answer sent him into a transport of rapture.

He testified that instead of shrunken liver the dead woman had an abnormally enlarged liver. “Do you mean to sit there on the stand and swear that this woman had an enlarged liver when all these emi- nent authorities have sworn her liver was wasted and shrunken?” demanded a lawyer. “I do,” replied the young doctor. “How comes it you set yourself up against these eminent practitioners— you, a young squirt of a doctor with no practice and only a few months out of a medical school?

It was much more wonderful than any- thing she had dreamed and frightened her a little. The next morning she went in to the city and browsed in the delights of chiffons and such, trying to decide just what she would buy for the won- derful wedding. Her means were small, and when late afternoon came she had a handbag comfortably filled with samples and three style books under her arm. She was very tired, having entirely forgotten to eat luncheon, and had to run to catch the six o'clock car out. She tumbled pell mell into. her seat just as the car pulled out, dropping samples from the handbag that had come open during the chase. Presently her attention was drawn to the two men in the seat ahead by hearing the name “Artie Palmer” mentioned. Electra leaned forward and deliberately listened. Whatever concerned Artie Palmer concerned her. “Yes, I'm glad he's tled up at last. The lady is quite all right, too, and Artie needs the money.” “But it does seem a runny thing to think of Artle and the lady of the | house hitting it off together, he's | been a free-lance so long.” “Wonder how he came out on that trip to Rockville? Bet he hung around some skirt there all the time digging out ideas of a ‘village wom- an’ for that blessed.paper. Well, so long, old man. See you tomorrow,” and the speaker swung off at the ho- tel. Electra sat huddled back in herl seat. They were never talking aboull her when they mentioned the lady of the house, for she had no money to bring him. Was it possible that he had merely been getting ideas for his paper from her? He had told her he was a writer and was looking for material. Electra did some hard thinking and many things seemed possible. When she left the car her mouth was settled in a hard, straight line. She slipped softly into the house Hibernation.
