I don't want to lose me job.” Slayton took the elevator at the end of tte hall and went up to the! offices of the Hearthstone. He left the MSS. of “La s All" with the editor, who agreed to give him an! answer as to its availability at the! end of a week Slayton formulated his great win ning scheme on his way down It struck him with one brilliant flash and he could not refrain from ad miring bis own genius in conceiving the idea. That very night he set about carrying it into execution. Miss Puffin, the Hearthstone| stenographer, boarded in the same} house with the author, She was an oldish, thin, exclusive, languishing. sentimental maid and Slayton had been introduced to her some time before ‘The writer's daring and self-encri- ficing project was this: he knew that the editor of the Hearthstone relied strongly upon Miss Puffkin's judgment in the manuscript of ro novels and stories of that type. The central idea and keynote of “Love Is All” waa love at first sight—the enrapturing, irresistible, soul-thril! ing feeling that compels @ man or & woman to recognize his or her | spiritanate as soon as heart speaks to heart. Suppose he #hould im Press this divine truth’ upon Miss Puffkin personally!—would she not surely indorse her new and raptur ous sensations by recommending highly to the editor Sf the Hearth: stone the novelette “Love Is All?" Slayton thought #0, And that night he took Miss Puffkin to the theatre, ‘The next night he made vehement love to her in the dim parlor of the boarding house. He quoted freely from “Love Is All and be wound up with Miss Puff Kin's head on his shoulder, and visions of Mterary fame dancing in his head Rut Slayton did not stop at love making. This, he sald to himeelf, was the turning point of his life, | and, like a true sportsman, he “went the limit." On Thursday night he and Miss Puffkin walked ovgr to the Big Church in the Middle of the Block and were married, Brave Slayton. Chauteaubdriand died in a garret, Byron courted a} widow, Keats starved to death, Poe mixed his drinks, De Quincy hit the pipe, Ade lived in Chicago, James kept on doing it, Dickens wore white socks, De Maupassant wore a strait ket, Tom Watson became a Popu let, Jeremiah wept, all these authors did there things for the sake of literature, but thou didst cap them all; thou marriedst a wife for to carve for thyself a niche in the temple of fame! On Friday morning Mrs. Slayton raid she would go to the Hearth stone office, hand in one or two manuscripts that the editor had «iven to her to read, and resign her ponition as stenographer. “Was there anything—er—that— er—you particularly fancied in the stories you are going to turn int” | asked Slayton with a thumping heart. “There wan one—a novelette, that I liked #0 much," said his wife, “1| haven't read anything in years that | I thought was half ax nice and true | to life.” | That afternoon Slayton hurried | down to the Hearthstone office. He felt that his reward was clone at hand, With a povelette in the Hearthstone, literary reputation would be his The office boy met him at the railing in the outer office, It was not for unsuccessful authors to hold personal colloquy with the editor ex cept at rare intervals, Slayton, hugging himself inter nally, was nursing in his heart the xquisite hope of being able to rush the office boy with his forth coming succens. He inquired concerning hin novel ette, The office boy went into the sacred precincts and brought forth @ large envelope, thick with more than the bulks of @ thousand checks “The bons told me to tell you he's sorry,” maid the boy, “but your nuseript iwn't available for the maganine,”* Slayton stood, dazed. “Can you tel! me,” he stammered, “whether or no Miss Puff—that is my—I meap Miss Puffkin—handed in a novelette th morning that she bad been asked to read? “Sure she did.” answered the of: flee boy wisely. “I heard the old man say that Mins Puffkin said it | wae a daixy.

This is largely due to the way the average ‘dealer scatters his stocks over a number of different makes and kinds. The customer finds nothing he can hold to, season after season. The teal merchant long ago broke away from this habit of mixed stocks and began to concentrate on Cooper’s-Bennington Underwear. Today, as for thirty years, Allen A Cooper’s- Bennington Spring Needle Underwear is made with the Wearer in mind. This additional mark, “Allen A,” is the Maker’s direct pledge of responsibility to the wearer, “Allen”—the name of the Makers; and “A” — the standard mark of first and finest grade. All weights, for all seasons of the year— for men, for boys, and when you once find the kind and size of Allen A you like, you can get exactly the same thing season season.
