Bp LULU JOHNSON Had they only known H the k m e f them were ripe to fa ll into love's basket F or months Billy Gillen had watched th e 'shapely brawn bead bent over the typewriter desk without realising t b it bis apprecia tion o f brown Qatar with glint« o f merely an indication o f a deeper feeling. For as many n oon s Ida Pawling had assured herself that without the kindly rid o f “ that nioe Mr. Ian" office life Would be impost and she had not reoogniied ia eeling anything hut an ai tion of HU court Bren the fa ct that Billy took to going to chnrch— her ch Lariy, sitting where be could the seme glimpse o f brown hair that was his to enjoy in the offiee, did not open his eyes, and this stoiy m ight hare ended as it had begua-^ in polite nothings— had it not been fo r those letters. i * There were two o f them, and the office boy, with an appreciation o f the fitness o f things, propped theqs on the desks o f their recipients ere they were being admired the early birds o f this office when Billy caiqe in with his ■'Good m orning.” f i l s smile only broadened be saw upon his desk the rad relope with the huge black “ Are you |oinc to be mAfriedt Own roar own home. "T o o bad that some one two cent stamp to give me that ad vice,” he cried. “ I wonder what put them up to i t ” "K now ledge o f com ing suggested the head and the rest 1st not blind, if Billy method in w har he is doing;" added as he nodded in the direction o f M l« Pawling*s desk, ^ Billy caught a glim pse o f a rad envelope on the girl’s blotter nod sprang for it, but the bookkeeper intercepted him. "It's «gainst the law to iotosAflre with the United States m ail,” he reminded. "Y o n can’t hare a letter addressed to Miss Pawling.” "IP s net a letter! IPs an out* rage,” shouted Billy as he strug gled to reach the desk. Before he could free him self Ida entered, and, with a curious glance at the little knot o f struggling men, she moved quietly to her desk. She had seen the gaudy envelope in B illy's band, and when she found one like it on her desk she guessed the cause o f the confusion. The men had stopped wrestling with Billy, and now the glaneee o f the entire office were upon her. W ith a woman’s sixth sense she could fe d their interest, and with alow movement she reached fo r the glaring envelope, glanced at the bold, black type, tore it a e ro « without opening it and raised the lid o f her desk. As the flaming fragm ents fell into the basket the spell was bro ken. The clerks moved to their desks and resumed their work. The incident was forgotten by all save Billy, who determined to locate the man who had sent the letters or planned the rude jest and to give him the thrashing o f hie life. For him self he did not mind, hut it was both unmanly and un just to subject the girl to such an indignity. AU day long he brooded over the m atter, and when the office e^ he was as far from a solution o f the blem as ever, so he determined ask Ida’s assistance. H i lingered fo r a moment after she left, that the otherq might not sukpect his plan: then he slipped*' out, and, by taking a short cut through the alley, he managed to emerge on the next street, breath less hut successful, fo r Ids had just turned the corner half a block be yond. She was startled to find him wait ing fo r her. “ W hy, you were in the office when I le ft!” she cried wonderingty. "H ave,yon some magic carpet that transports you?” glanoed down at his ra th « neatpatont leathers. *1 guees you could not exactly call these a carpet,” be suggested, with a laugh. “ I cut through the alley and get here first I purpose ly 1st you get out ahead o f me, so m at the others would not talk. I it to knew if you have spy idea aa to who sent those letters to us ?** *1 did not notice the name o f the r , she said, with a steady "B ut you know that the r •Jerstor paid fo r the mule tidings,** “ That isn’t It," be said determin edly. "W e were the only two in the entire office building to reoeivu them. I asked the postmen when I wen* to lunch. Some one sent them to us to start trouble. It must bare been some one in the office, because they are the only ones who know that— ^that—I like you very m uch." “ D on't you like the other (iris too?” Ida's t o n « ware cool and level, though her heart beat com fortably fa s t “ I think that M i« Bender is a dear, and on« osn't help liking Mrs. Crouch.” Jl t ’s not just that sort o f like," explained Billy. " I think that H most hare been Travers who sent them. From w h «e he rite he can see me looking at you, and I guess he suanects.” "Suspects?” echoed Ida. "W ell, 1 can't keep the lore out of my eyes when I sit tbera," went on Billy lamely. " I didn't know it < was lore— I didn't until this ing, that is. I g a s « it must hare been lore all along; though, fo r ever since you cams into the office I've had trouble with my hooka, and now J .k n ow it was beesuse I could look at you. Then I’d put down a wrong fignra and hare to stay after hours to strike a balance.” " I ’m sorry that I have such an effect,” began Ida, but Billy signal ed fo r silence. "N ow that. I know where I stand I want to tell you,” he went on im petuously. “ I do want to owp a home, and I want you to ba its « i s - . tress. W on t you, Ida?” he asked softly as he took, her hand in his. “ I think it i»-ryee, Billy,” she whispered ;as she turned s happy face to his eager eyes. “ I guess that circular opened my eyes too.” “ And to think that we tore np the advertisem ent We ought to let that chap sell us a home. He deserves it for bringing ns together. When I earn a home we’ll be mar ried, dear." "D oesn't it take an awfully long time to earn a home?” she ^ k flfl in sweet confusion, and Billy enrap iraptured. Billy sought the minister «co i u p le o f weeks later to arrange for the quiet wedding, and when th e de tails had been settled the kindly rid saaa laid a detaining hand on B illy's shoulder. " I t is well to ba provident, my lad," he said impressively. "Y ou should m t s your money and with it buy a home. There is s company which gives the church s commis sion on til sales through us. You must hare hqfi their letter. I gave them your address. In case you have lost it” — He crossed to his desk and draw from it a red envelope. Even across the room Billy recognised i t " I ’ll be hanged,” he « i d in mild surprise. “ I didn’t dream that even the minister got wise before I did. I was the lari one to get next to my own h eart” And he made a mental note to give a double fee to this man who had read him aright •eperating the Bhssg. The soldiers marched to the church and halted in the outside. One wing o f the was undergoing repair, so there was room only fo r about half the regi m ent "Sergeant,” ordered the colonel, “ tell the men who don’t want to go to church to fall o u t" A large number quickly availed themselves o f the privilege. “ Now, sergeant, said the colonel, "d ism in all the men who did not fall ont and march the others to church— they need it m o st"— Bos ton T ranscript MaeMahan’s Epigram.
