I WUhelmlna.
- s
K fittfttf ANTED In a publlsh
WaW ing house, a weU-edu-
cated woman; must be
over 30 years of age.
"Isn't it mean- I don't seem to fit in
anywhere. Young girls and old women
are In demand, but a girt of 23 Is neith
er young nor old; a drug in the mar
ket"' WUhelmlna Thurston looked dis
gusted. "You would Just fit la there, WHIT
aid her sister, reflectively.
WUhelmlna went to the mirror and
took the pins from her luxuriant balr,
which was rolled back loosely from her
face and colled on the crown of her
head. She parted the hair down the
middle and drew It back plain, braiding
It and dressing it low. It was unbe
coming, for her rather severs type of
beauty was rendered stern by the
change.
"I have made up my mind," said WU
helmlna, going to the closet and taking
therefrom her darkest gown, a dull
gray, "to apply for that position. With
a stiff collar and no color to brighten
me np, I shall look antiquated enough
to escape detection. It will injure no
one but myself, and I want work badly
enough to add eight years to my age. I
shall claim to be 31."
Alice Thurston langhed. "You are
desperate, Will, and no wonder; bot I
fear one lie will not suffice; you are not
an adept in deceiving."
"You wait," was tbe answer.
Sidney Spencer sat In his private
office, with a bored look on his face and
a pile of manuscript at his elbow. Out
side In the main office tbe clerks
nudged each other and tittered, as
young men will when tbe proprietor Is
out of sight
"Another antiquated female!" whis
pered John Stanwood to bis neighbor,
as a light step on tbe stair was beard.
A moment later Wilheluilua was ush
ered into Spencer's office.
"How old are youT" was the first
query.
"Thirty-one," she said, bravely.
"What experience?"
"Ten years in a newspaper office."
This was true, for while a mere child
she had assisted her father on the
Dally Bulletin, now among the missing
journals. Spencer looked Intently at
the applicant Sbe seemed more prom
ising than the rest "Are you sure you
are 317 You look young, very young."
WUhelmlna rose to the occasion. Her
assumption of offended dignity would
have deceived a keener man than
Spencer.
"I'm sorry, sir, to have troubled yon;
perhaps you require a certificate of
birth. Unfortunately I bave none.
Good afternoon."
"Watt a moment! Pardon me. You
do not understand why I am so partic
ular In regard to age. There are a
dozen young Idiots in my employ who
waste their time In attentions to a
younger woman. Harmless enough, I'll
admit but this Is not a courting school,
and the work requires undivided atten
tion." "I understand. I was young once
myself." She sighed. There was an
awkward silence.
"Thirty-one Is not old," said Spencer
encouragingly. "It only seems old to
fellows In tbe twenties."
"Thirty-one Is a respectable age and
needs no apology ," was.tbe tart reply.
Her gray eyes snapped and she looked
fierce.
"She'll do," said Spencer to himself;
"there will be no flirting." Aloud he
said: "Can yon stay this morning and
help me out with this?" Indicating tbe
pile of manuscript '
"I shall be g'ad to begin at once,"
was ber reply. A half-dozen times dur
lDg tbe morning WUhelmlna caught
her employer looking curiously at ber;
she wondered If be suspected ber de
celt At night he said pleasantly: "I
am well satisfied with what you bave
done." So sbe was engaged.
Much as she longed to appear ber
own pretty self, WUhelmlna dared not
put aside ber' dark, unornamented
gown and tightly drawn back balr.
With these she assumed a dignified,
old-fashioned manner of speech and
action that kept her youthful cowork
ers at a distance. 4
Her desk being In Spencer's office,
and the fact' tbat much of tbelr work
was done jointly, placed them on a
familiar footing. It was agreeable
work, and bad she not been acting a
part WUhelmlna would bave thorough
ly enjoyed It A date In an article one
day led Spencer to tell bis age, 28.
After this she felt still more uncom
fortable, saying to Alice: "I wondar
bow be likes working with bis grand
mother?" One morning wben Spencer came In
WUhelmlna knew something bad hap
pened. In the months tbey bad worked
together she bad learned to note every
change In bis expressive countenance.
She bad also learned to care deeply for
bis good opinion; tbe lie sbe bad told
him weighed heavily. She found her
self wishing that be knew sbe was only
23; five years yonnger than himself.
Would It make a difference?
This Hording be looked at ber so In
tently that sbe blushed. Then be said
Abruptly: "What makes women so se
cretive in regard to their age? Are
added years a crime? You are the first
oue I bave met who confesses to 81;
you art really younger looking, and art
brave not to lie about It."
Poor WUhelmlna. Without thinking
of the consequences, she said hurried'
ly: "I did lie. I am only 23. I ex
pected to be caught some time, and
I'm foolish enough to step Into tbe trap.
Shall I leave this morning?"
Spencer rose and closed tbe door Into
the outer office. By this time WUhel
mlna was gathering np hor belouglngi
and crowding them helter-skelter Into
ber bag.
"What's your hurry?" Spencer asked,
putting a detaining hand on ber arm.
WUhelmlna looked up Into a face so
full of sympathy and tenderness thai
the tears of vexation on her lashes mir
rored the wonderment in her eyes.
"I. waut you to stay, llttlo girl, be
causewell, because, I can't live with
out you."
WUhelmlna concluded to stay. Bos

"Look bere! It Is 9 o'clock and mj

comer expostulating to the luterpretei
In the corridor of the Hotel Ortenta
We old stagers all laughed. We knew
what was coming, but we contented
ourselves with a smile. '
"What are you laughing at?" the
newcomer asked. "It may be a joke t
you, but this blooming hotel furulshei
the woodwork and that Is about all
There Isn't a stitch of bed clothes, I

We stlU laughed. The Interprets
looked imploringly at us and then at
the raw recruit
"What Is It tbat you desire?" be said
finally.
"Desire?" the newcomer snapped out
"I desire a mattress at least tw
sheets, a quilt and a pillow.
"I will go now and see tbe proprie
tor," said the Interpreter, for that wai
whafhe always said.
"I got all ready for bed, raised "the
mosquito netting and found that there
wasn't a thing for me to sleep on." .
We all smiled pityingly and went on
with our tales of camp and tbe firing

a newcomer that bere in Manila we
never used a mattress, a set of springs,
a pillow or a sheet We would have
deprived him of what be bad come so

we read him a homily on Philippine
customs. Tbe interpreter soon re
turned and I beard blm saying:
'The proprietor says, sir, that be wlU
end you a sheet, but be Is sorry to say,
sir, that he has not a mattress or s
quilt nor a pillow, except tbe bolstei
that is on your bed."
The language of the newcomer thai
followed Is unfit for publication. Tlx
mattressless and qulltless Filipino hvi

the one thing thai Is suitable for th

Good Reason.
Storeteepers at times resort to In
genious methods to attract trade. The
following is said to be an exact cop;
of a placard displayed in front of s
store In a Southern town:
"Step inside and get the greatest bar
gains you'll ever get again."
Here la an announcement posted bj
a Russian shopkeeper In front of hit
place of business:
"Tbe reason why I bave hitherto
been able to seU my goods so muct
cheaper than anybody else Is tbat 1
am a bachelor, and do not need U
make a profit for the maintenance ol
wife and children. It Is now my dutj
to Inform tbe public tbat this ad van

them, as I am about to be married
They will, therefore, do well to makt
tbelr purchases at once at the old rate.'
Simply Calculated.
For finding tbe average number ol
years which persons of any age maj
expect to live there is a very slmpli
rule. If tbe present age be deducted
from eighty, two-thirds of the remain
der Is tbe answer required. This resuli
Is not absolutely accurate, but It Ii
near enough. For Instance, a mar
aged 20 might by this rule, expect t
Uve forty years longer, which is just
what tbe latest actuarial tables glvo
At 40 the expectation of life works out
at nearly 27 years, while tbe tablet
give It as more than twenty-five years
At 00 tbe above rule allows just ovei
thirteen years, and the table shows i
little less.
