The pounding of the machines and the endless click of the shifting stencil seemed to pierce her very brain. She cast a quick glance down the long workroom of the Rotnry Addressing company. Out through the windows at the other end could le seen a patch of blue sky, blurred now and then by a puff of steam from the pipes of the adjoining building; a modest seven story struc ture. Here and there some building larger than their own reared Its head to cut the skyline, and through the F uicie fume wiuniuuuuj j (Q,rft wt.re few ouniiM rrom me street below, minrn notes in the monotone of the machines. Within, long rows of girls leuued over their work, their deft fingers forc ing envelopes into the hungry maws of the machines with only a pause now and then wheu a fresh stuck of sten Clls were needed. Hetweeu the aisles paced the sharp eyed forewoman. A man had been In charge of the room once, but the firm had found that be was too easy, too commiserate of the women under his supervision, and they had moved him Into the office, sending In his stead the angular Miss Pettlt, who forced the girls In her charge to the limit of their endeavors. Her sharp eye detected Nell's pause. "Hurrowes," she called acidly. She never wasted time on "Miss." "If you have one of your silly headaches, put In your time at the office and go home. This Is no hospital." Nell's nervous fingers clutched a fresh package of envelopes, and the pound lug of her machine added its noise to that of the others. She could not af ford to go home.

Oksoon ts own miss rrm, hi oowlxi. came to her each Saturday was little enough without Indulging the luxury f an afternoon off. Jimmy Nelson, coming Into the room to consult with Miss Pettlt about an order, looked with kindly sympathy at the tired girl. When he had had charge of the rooti. be had been mora gentle. She had told him something of bar story In the noon Intervals when he had Insisted upon standing treat to hot coffee to augment the scan ty sandwich that usuully constituted her lunch. (Vffee costs & rents a day. and the errand girl who made the trips to the lunch room must be tipped In ad dition. The Uotnry Addressing com pany paid only from J3 to $0 a week, and coffee was a luxury to those who did not lire at home. There had leeu a time when Jimmy had dreamttl of a little flat wberelu Nell should be mistress. That was Just after he had Iven promoted to the of ftVe and had had his salary raised to 115 a week. He Imd lacked the eour to constitute a minimum day's work. A record was made each evening and , the advancement or reduction of sal- i ary depended upon that. She had j barely managed to complete the task j when the gong struck and the girls began to cover their machines and put their tables In order. Nell staggered nightly as she took the last of her work to the timekeeper, who entered her record In the book. Miss Pettlt eyed her sharply ns she went back to her machine. "Unless you are feeling lietter you had better not come tomorrow." she an Id crossly. "I can put on another girl who will make faster use of the machine." "I will be all right In the morning." Nell answered. Miss Pettlt could not know that the girl had had no break fast. There had been medicine to buy, and until pay day came again she would have to walk to her home and make dry bread nerve for food. She was slow In preparing Tor the street find even Miss Pettlt IihiI gone when she stepped Into the elevator. The street was dark and lonesome. Most of the places closed at ", and persons moving along the narrow strip of sidewalk as she Stepped out. j On the comer a little knot of people had gathered about some object of Interest, and she peered curiously over i the shoulder of the office boy In front I or her. ine next moment she was pushing the men aside. Miss Pettlt had slipped upon the greasy sidewalk and lay moaning and half unconscious with pain. The girls had all gone on and a bootblack was trying to make her comfortable until the attention of a policeman could be attracted. Nell pushed him away and took the woman's bead Into her lap, disposing her so that the wretched ankle was more comfortuble. Then she turned to the lad who had stuck to her side, determined to at least share the in terest with the newcomer. "It la my forewoman," she said "Run up to the Rotary Addressing company and ask Mr. Nelson to come quick." The lad's statement that a lady wa almost killed and was asking for him brought Jimmy on the run. White faced he tore his way through the In creasing crowd of curious people to come to a dead stop, when be perceived the situation. "It's only Miss Pettlt," be growled In mingled relief and disappointment. "I thought It waa you." "We must get her home, Jimmy," pleaded Nell. "She says she won't go In an ambulance. Please call a cab." "The ambulance la plenty good for her," be growled, though to them the ambulance was but a shade less dis graceful then the patrol wagon. "Did not she talk to you like you were a dog this afternoon 7" "Get a cab tor me," pleaded Nell, and Jimmy turned away. It was not far to Miss Pettlt's board ing place, and Nell bustled about mak ing the tiny hall room more comfort able. Jimmy stuck doggedly, too, wait ing to take Nell home. Miss Pettlt sank back on the bed with a sigh. "That will do very well," she said faintly. '"The doctor will bandage my ankle, and then the girl will put me to bed. You were very good to me, my dear." "It's aU right," said Nell coldly as she turned to go, but Miss Pettlt caught her hand. "Walt a minute," she said. "I want to tell you something. Jimmy here gave me a letter to hand you some weeks ago. I wasn't going to have any flirting In my room, so I didn't give It to you. Jimmy la a good boy, my dear, aud here It la." She sank back upou the pillow aa Jimmy sprang forward. In his excite ment he hsd forgotten Miss Pettlt aud his wrath against her. Now bo only realized that Nell had not received his letter. "And silence ain't a polite negative?" be asked. Nell smiled. Jimmy had loaned her some of his paper, and she recognized the pbrsse. "If you want proverbs, Mr. Nelson," she said primly, "1 can give you a bet ter quotation 'Faint heart never won fair lady.' Ask me to my fuce like a man, an' mehhe I'll say 'yes.'

Town booming by publicity bureau methods Is Incoming more and more popular because it pays. No town Is too small or, for that matter, too law to be iK'tiellled by organized pub licity. A town that keeps its light under a bushel Is not going to I seen from afar. One way to make its light .shine brightly Is to rub the burners every day with fresh advertising oil. The city of Naslr. i!!e. l emi., Is one of the latest in the increasing list of lively places that intend to get livelier still and are taking the best method to bring alioiit that consummation. The Nashville Uwrd of trade lias ap propriated .",I,00( to advertise the city. Tills Is how the money will be spent: First A compilation of n directory of the names of every northern manu facturer whose goods are sold to Nash ville retailors, jobliers or consumers. Second. The opening of correspond ence with each of these firms, the num ber of which Is estimated at 700, with a view to securing either the removal of the main plant to Nashville or the establishment of a branch factory, southern warehouse or southern sales office In Nashville. Third. The sending diiily of from COO to (WO copies of each of the dally pa pers to every reading room, library, hotel and other public reading place In the northeastern states, with a view to familiarizing the regular and chance visitors to these places with the city of Nashville and creating favorable Impressions regarding the city, its ad vantages and business possibilities. Fourth. The extensive advertising of the city In dully newspapers In the northeast and New England states, In the magazines of general and special circulation and In the weekly papers, with a view to attracting the attention of the capitalist and the Industrial man to the advantages offered by Nashville as the location for factory or other business. In commenting on the course of Nash ville and on town advertising In gener al the Editor and Publisher, a New Tork weekly, says editorially: "Many boards of trado and chambers of com merce throughout the country are em ploying experienced newspaper men as secretaries, and In many cases the wisdom of tbls course has been shown. Publicity counts every time, and with a trained newspaper man In the har ness many a aleepy board of trade might be roused from Its lethargy." The local paper Itself Is one of the best publicity bureaus a town can have, and when It Is supplemented by an offi cial bureau of publicity In which the editor Is a working factor Its value Is enhanced. The local paper, carrying advertisements of the home merchants ana other business met), Is a constant advocate of home trade as opposed to the spending of money outside of the town. Reporting, as It does, all town Improvements from time to time nnd pointing out opportunities for Investment and development, the home paper Is a free Information bureau which Is not always appreciated prop erly In Its own community. But any town may greatly Increase Its valuable publicity by orgunlzlug a bureau to co operate with the newspapers In boom ing the place. SIGN ON Rural Delivery Notes F. G.
