HELP WANTED JULY. 1908.. : The Janitor s little Kin murmured a word of thanks for the penny bestowed upon her and scampered back down stairs, while Elizabeth returned to the parlor with the mall which' the child bad just brought. It was a comfortable little city apart ment, and only the typewriter table lu ont corner betrayed the fact that It was a work as well as a piny room. Through an arch an absurdly small dining room with the table laid for one proclaimed it to be the home of a bachelor girl, though Elizabeth Bel knap's dainty femininity gave no sug gestion of splnsterhood either from choice or circumstance. The coffee percolator steamed on the table unheeded while she ran through her letters a check for a story, two manuscripts, a paper and a thin, flat package bearing a foreign stamp. Elizabeth frowned over one letter, mlled over another, patted the check lovingly as she thrust it Into the draw er of her tiny desk and ripped the cov ering from tbe package. Out fell a playbill, a glaring thing of red and blue letters on yellow paper, bearing the list of artists appearing at a Ro man music hall. One of the names was marked with an Inky cross, and in defiance of postal regulations Nell Stanwood had written on the margin: "Do you remember we saw her at the theater the night be fore I sailed? It's a small world, after 11." tiizaoetn smiled at the remem brance. Four other girls and herself had given Xell a going away party the night before the latter sailed to study in Italy. They had wound up the evening at a vaudeville theater, HiKh Wter. A. M. P.

Now, Nell In Rome had seen the same act and had remembered their last night to gether. Was she homesick? It was several moments before Eliza beth opened the newspaper, the old fcome paper and "as good as a letter," ao Jack Hardy had often declared. Not an item of news worth the telling escaped publication in the Blairsville j Beacon, for even with detailed infor-1 matlon as to newly painted fences the ; editor found it difficult to fill his yawn- j lng- columns. The Beacon was Hardy's compro mise with his conscience, for he had ! declared when Elizabeth had deter- j mined to leave Blairsville for the j greater opportunities of the city that lie would not write. He had not writ-' ten, but after the first week the Bea- eon came regularly, addressed in his 1 strong, masculine handwriting, and j Elizabeth always smiled a softly tri- j omphant smile whenever the copy ar- There had been an "understanding" If cha,re a Place now 0D,-V with Jack Hardy until the stories sfe ' hen T? 1 1 . , 1 i, . was Jfiven.

I.:: t year she anU Jack h.nl ut tended tiie spring performances togi'tlier, but lu Ji'll she was gone. How time il;ul flown! The Rice & Bennett com-I's'-iiy would open their spring engage ment the following week, and Jack had sent her a hanger. An odd lump came Hi uer throat as she returned to tbe table and her neglected coffee. When she started to tidy up after the meal she thumb tacked the Italian poster to the wall of her tiny private hall. The wall was bare, and the yel low poster with its foreign lettering gave a smart touch to the hall, like hotel labels on a steamer trunk or suit case. Elizabeth sat down to the typewriter, but presently there came an Insistent ring at the hall door. Tony, the rosy faced Italian, who supplied the ten ants of the house with ice, displayed two rows of gleaming teeth as he ex plosively announced "Ice!" Elizabeth held open the door for him while he lifted the cake from the dumb waiter and placed It In her refrigerator. But the smile faded from Tony's face as he turned to leave. With an inarticulate cry he sprang at the post er, fingering It lovingly and scanning every word of the beloved Italian. "It is from the home." be explained, blushing, when the first shock of sur prise had passed. "It is to there that 1 take a what you call sweetheart? Ah, to the Salone Margherlta, me an' my Marie. , Marie she cannot leav-a da pop da fard'. I coine-a to America to muke-a mon. It is ver" lonely, sign or a Scus-a ml." He shuffled haltingly from tbe apart ment, his jovial face drawn with home sickness and thoughts of the distant Marie. Elizabeth went back to her work. On the floor the Rice & Bennett playbill still lay neglected, but now it caught her attention, and she picked it up to read, even as Tony had done with the other, every word of the familiar an nouncement. She wondered if Jack would be go- lug. If so, who would be in her place? Mrs. Hardy did not care for the the ater, and It was not fair to expect Jack to go alone. She smiled at her jealous thoughts and sat down reso lutely before her typewriter, but she found that the thread of the story which had started so well was lost. She could not force her mind to con centrate upon the adventures of an imaginary heroine. Her attention per sistently wandered to the playbill on the floor. She could see the opera bouse with out even shutting her eyes. The roller skating craze had somewhat revived Its original glories. The common "Rules and Regulations" tacked up cn the walls with "Beacon Job Print" iu large type beneath the phrase. "By order of the management." Sho could hear the ragged strains of the three piece orchestra, and she knew that Will Tabor and Ren Blake would hus tle Importantly through the stage, en trance. They were always the "and others" on the programme, the nrmv In "I mler Two Hags" and "A Cele brated Case." the miners in "The l.in Ites. etc. It was all so vivid that she seemed really to be there. With a choking laugh nt her new emotions she ripped the story from her typewriter and slipped In a fresh sheet. John Hardy. Blairsville: riease get Boats fur all next week. I am coming home tomorrow. ELIZABETH. Then she gazed about the coy little flat. It would be very different in BlnlrsvlUe. and she knew that In send Ing that message she had virtually an nounced her surrender, but she hum med a blithe little song as she put on her hat and prepared to take the tele gram to the ollke. When she came to the narrow hall she stopped and took down the Italian poster and. with the one from home, placed it In tbe drawer of her desk. "You've carried your messages," she whispered to them as she smoothed tbe folds, "but I want to keen you for remembrance and warning. To Tony and me you meant home. I'm more fortunate than Tony, for I'm go ing nome-to Jack." LOST AND FOUND. LOST -WHITE SILK MELT. with silver buckle. Finder return to this office and receive reward. 29-.1i MISCELLANEOUS.

There had been heated words over Elizabeth's determination to leave, and she had been given her choice of a ca reer or marriage. She had elected In favor of the career. She had prosper ed in the great city. She had told her self over and over again that she had done the only sensible thing, and yet Today there was an lnclosure with the Beacon, a playbill announcing In flamboyant language a week's engage pent at the opera house of the Rice & Bennett Empire stock company. Elizabeth smiled as she read tbe fa miliar repertoire. The Rice & Bennett company was almost an Institution In Blairsville. Twice a year they played for a week In the town hall, and every one who could afford it attended all their performances. It was the one real dramatic tre.at of tbe season, for SHE'S A QUEEN DEVELOP THE BUST SHE'SlA SIREN is an expression that is always heard at sight of a well developed woman.
