Jeannie’ s Ideal. The Way Editor Whipple Obtained a Loan and a Rich Wife. HIS EYES WERE SOFTLY BLUE. She Was Drawn to Him by His Manliness and Fearless Independence. By JAMES TILFORD.., (Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub, Co.) EANNIB had spent a very bad J hors in the solemn old law offic going over distracting figures and listening with a poor show of patience 1) the prosy explanations of her unc) arding the various investments in which her fortune was p ed. Her uncle, Henry Markham, who had been her guardian and the executor of her father's estate, and who now was her business agent, had insisted ever eince she became of age and the property re- verted to her own name, that she go over his stewardship once every month. Only two or three times had he eu ceeded in getting a definite and intel- Ugible opinion from her, and in those cases It was greatly to his discomfture, for she had tnaisted on the cancella- tion of a mortgage without payment simply because of a hard-luck story made in connection with a plea for ex- tension. At which the uncle became apoplec- demanded sharply. ‘Do you mean that vo} you won't?" Whipple straightened in his chalr and his face paled. Removing his eyeglasses he veplied: “That is just what I mean, 1 would as soon Issue this paper to-mor- row with nothing but column rules as to leave out the very thing of greatest in- terest to the public,” \ 0 you know what it means !f you! publish that stuff?" Leeds falrly shoute| ed, pounding the table with his fist, “It means that every cent of financial ald| wilt be withdrawn from the Atlas and outstanding paper will have to be met when due. That's what it means, sir; and you know that that means that you will go down in financial ruin within six months. Moreover it means the with-| drawal of the greater part of your ad-| vertising patronage. You can't dety us, | ir; we'll mcke a pauper of you." | The editor leaned forward, his face gray with passlon, “Keep your hanus oft my desk, alr!’ he sald, ‘and listen while I tell you that I do defy you. WHIPPLE’S “NOR WILL THREATS DEFIANCE. NOR BRIBES AVAIL!" ardship. In other cases she refused to protest against special assessments when the improvements were not going to help her property at all, but were to be of great benefit to the people at large. All of whtch goes to prove that Jeannie was a most impractical and quixotic young person, albelt kind hearted and generous minded. ‘The only compensations to the stupid afternoons at the old office was that Uncle Henry, who was the best sort of a fellow when away from business always kept her down town to dinner and the swellest kind of little dinners they were—and they went to a theatre er opera or some other good place, and wound up with a Welsh rarebit or an ice or a salad 0: something equally good. ‘This particular evening they lngered over dessert. Uncle Henry started sud- denly and said: “By Jove, I nearly forgot that I have @n errand at the Atlas office. It won't take long; we will drive around on the way to the Academy. And, by the way, Jeannie, how would you like to go in and take a peek et the inner holy of holles of a big newspaper?” Jeannfe thought it would be a great lark, and a few moments later was ushered with her uncle into the editor's office. After tained to some loans which had been made the newspaper during a recent reorganization had been transacted, the editor ested that they look through the plant, offering courteously to show them through personally. The sugges- tlon pleased Jeannie and sho readily resigned the theatre to the novelty. At this moment the boy appeared with a card and tho editor, with an apologetic smile, said: “You will have to bear with me for @ moment longer.” The newcomers were a delegation of capitalists and bankers ewpresenting the heaviest industrial and moneyed in- terests in the city. “Mr. Whipple,” said the spokesman, a stout, Morid, bald-headed man, with cold, gray eyes, and an alr of importance. “we come to you, representing the forces that are keeping the wheels of industry moving in this city. We have decided that the time has come to take a stand and end this present foolish, needless strike. If the men win this strike they will be so insolent that it will be im- possible to get along with them. Now the press must help us. Your interests re as great as ours, and we come to you confidently.” “What is it you ask, Mr. Leeds?" in- quired the editor. “We ‘vant you to suppress the report of the State labor commission regarding the etrike, > !s a lot of shameless and @angerous demagosy, and will tend not only to encourage the anarchists who are out on strike but to turn public sentiment in thelr favor." “1 gerainly cannot leave out an official report,” replied tne editor, in a low tone. Leeds's face turned from florid to deep % red. “What do you mean by arte phat you bea ignore te repos?" Bie ote the errand, which per-|a By heayen, sir, I will run this paper as long as Iam at the head of it, whether it {s slx months or s!x hours or sixty years, and {t won't be run as the ad- junct of a factory or a mine or a bank Nor will threats nor bribes avail. If you don’t want to read the truth I ad- vise you to read some other paper. Good evening." And the editor rose and point- ed to the door. The delegation departed without a word. “Good heavens, Mr. Whipple, this !s madness," remarked Markham, greatly agitated. “You cannot afford to fight these men. They represent the financlat power of the city. Why, they are the very men who have advanced you the) money to reorganize the Atlas and ac-| qulre control. “I cannot help it; they can't edit the paper while Iam here, After they get me out the, can do aa they please.” “Well, under the circumstances, stand- ing as you are between the fire ot both the labor people and the financial powers, I will have to withdraw what I said about ex‘ending that loan. I don’t want to dictate about your policy, but I must look after the inerests of my niece, and I am compelled to say I don't deem the Atlas loan a very safe one." “Very well, sir” replied the editor, In tired tone, “I'll see you betore {t falls due—and now we will take that deferred glimpse of the plant.” He smiled at Jeannie, and she noticed that his eyes were soft and blue, whereas they ad appeared hard and gray during his talks with the delegations. They went through the great plant, but Jeannie found the wonderful ma- chines and the well organized depart- ments rather tame beside tne stirring scenes sh» Lad observed in the editorial rom, The next day the editor received a note from Jeannie to the effect that the loan would be extended as long as he desired, and tnat if other financial support was withdrawn he could rely on further loans from “the Markham millions,” go long as he ran the paper along the lines he had marked out. When Uncle Henry heard of it he ac- tually did resign as her business agent, but {it did not matter much, for as events prover, there was to be one pres- ently who was more nearly interested— and his eyes were always softly blue when he was with his young wife. And more curious than all, the public Mked the policy of the Atlas, and {t won out on its own merits, _—— FAITH.

The hosts the arrangements be- forehand so that no confuston or ing haste may be apparent should secure the table, order the ner for a certain hour, and fee th: walter to look A restaurant dinner may be a very pleasant one. It is comparatively easy hospitality for the host and hostess, as they are not responsible personally the viands nor for the manner in which they are served. Very® fashionable so- clety people started thin innovation In dinner giving several years ago. Their rrstaurant ¢einners were usually should make all dine head after the minor detalls cn Sunday evenings, in order that their servants might have a rest day for themselves. For informal meals at a restaurant, without any prearrangement, {t {s well to remember certain rules, Good man- ners demand that when any person {n- vites friends to a friendly meal he or She should make a selection of dishes and not perplex or embarrass the guests by asking, “What will you take?" Ind!- vidual tastes and likings may of course be consulted, but for the main part the guests should need to have no more to do with what {s get before them than they would have at a dinner in a private house, Quiet behavior 1s the recognized stamp of gentle breeding. Loud laughing and for * boisterous talk are unnecessary and un mannerly. If the party is compose en trely of ladies it 1s in better taste 1 to order wines with the meal. No lady who 1s eating alone at a restaurant should order wines or alcoholic drinks. She cannot do so without inviting un kind comment. Unless a dinner is served }in a private room of the restaurant ladies do not remove their hats. To invite a friend Into your home for a a stay of several days or weeks \s mark of highest compilment.

It seemed to many women who came into the store that the young man's face was too Intelligent for what thoy cony sidered a more or leas brutilizing trade, and some o them wondered oc- cpsionalty why he had become a Jour-| neyman butcher. Indeed, young, Rupp was the onl, person who neve wondered about It, He had taken up his father's trade when he grew to] manhood, as a mat~ ter of course, And JOSEPHINE MYBRS. the ambition of his life was to be much like his father as possible. His {denis had been formed by the surroundings of his happy middleciasa childhood, and when he looked into the future for anything but an increase of wages or a raise in the price of sir.oln it was to picture a‘ happy little home of his own with a blonde young German woman, a8 much ike his mother as possible, for his wife, and perhaps some sturdy rosy cheeked children lke his Httle brothers and sisters, ‘These imaginings never took definite shape, however, until one evening just as the shop was closing a tall, well- built girl, with quantities of the pale hair @hich custom had taught him to think beautiful, entered. Rupp was so much struck with the girl's appearance that he chopped up the ten cents’ worth of Hamburg steak she as {f It had been the choicest porterhouse, and ag he was all alone in the shop, jnctually strode from behind the counter and opened the door for her when she left.
