A girl friend came to our house to get me to accompany her in a walk to the depot. A soldier train was going| through Niles that day and the girl) ad a soldier friend upon the train. We were waiting in a jam of people and Mrs. Leonard Abrams, wife of tha depot operator, asked us to take veats in the telegraph office. It was the days of ‘paper operators.’ Well, Mrs. Abrams was belping her hue band and as | saw her sending «| message my thoughts of the soldier boys fled and I was entranced with what Mra Abrams was doing. itd she can do that, | can,” I anid to my-! self. Not many days after, having gained the consent of my parents, I! asked Mra. Abrams to have her hus-| band take me in as a student. He! wrote to B.

I was fascinated with the work and my liking for it increased rather than diminished during all these years.
