MR. DOOLING.
By ELIZABETH SMITH.
Mary Greeley sat knitting at her
fiesk in a private nlllce of the Wood
worth Manufacturing compiiny, where
fur ten Jems she Inid typed for the en-
fencer. : ThroujjlJ the opened sliding.
windows in the partition, which sepa-i-Hted
her sanctum from the counting
room, she could plainly hear Paymas
ter Trucsthile and Mr. Pooling, the
t ookkeejier, straightening out the pay
roll. There was also an occasional
word from the traveling man, Mr.
-Hangs.
"Oh, dear!" mused Mary, sighing, as
he caught a glimpse of herself In the
large mirror over Mr. Kobey's desk
across" (he room. "I'm surely getting
old, yet I'd do It over again Just the
anine. Anyway, mother had every -comfort
while she lived, If we did live In
two rooms. There'll always he com
fort for me In the remembrance of
that. No, I have no regrets, hut I can't
deny that I am very lonesome."
Mary was getting old. She had just
ripened Into full womanhood with no
more plumpness than that which he
longs to the well-rounded . curves of
twenty-eight. Always -at! hiotlve,: with,
her perfectly nmliired grace and poise,
die was .now to$l'llvelyTteu1iitlfiil.. ,
And so the yotlng men in the count
ing room must have thought, for nil
of them had proposed duriii:; her years .
fit the plant, (in Mug refused, they
had one hy one found a life partner
elsewhere.
"No,"-. Mary had told II i. "While !
mother lives my solo Unl.v' is to rare I
for her." . Ami she had cured for her j
most tenderly .inlil Hie end, which was I
now a ' year hack. j
"Miss Creoley." called Trucsdali' i
through the parflllon windows, "have j
you heard whether we're to have time j
off to see Hie president? I believe lie ,
Is to hjlld at eleven at Coininonweallli !
pier."
"yes;," smiled Mary. Sweetly, 'T.nt T :
hear Mr. Robey talking Just outside
our door, lie has Just heen to tell the 1
department heads. :i -Here he Is he'll I
tell yon himself."
The jeiiglnccr, who enjoyed the .-nine
prlncejy salary as the general niniinnor. I
was, owing to the ahseuce of the hit
ter, In full charge, lie o 1 the door
mill announced : i
"They are going Id knock olT at J 1 :fli.
I advise that you go to the oilier end
if the works. Von can see the presi
dent plainly front the windows (here."
"All right, tlitmtc you auio' from
Trucsdale.. "ISni We have 1111 le'mnre
to do." j
Mr. Kohey, a short, slonl, austVr.iMip-
pearlng little man, wllh steely cold
Mile eyes and u closely trl umI van
dyke, now husied hlmsi'lf wllh a blue
print. "What a plly," thought Mary, her
ryes running casually over him. "What
a queer person lie Is, to he sure living
In u lovely house with no wife only a
Hum- for cook and housekeeper. - And
no golf, no tennis, no cluli, except the
yacht vlnh, and only speed hunts for a
liohhy. Well, hit Is a harhrhir at thir
ty live. I suppose he'll alvas slay
Hlngle."
"Well, It Is 11 ::t0," nnnoillieed Hint
Reiitlenian rising, watch In hand. "I
think I'll move down to the oilier end
if the building."
When near the offlce, Mary met Mr.
Kohey, who smiled at the coincidence
of their both returning. "I am going'
for n cigar," he eiplulneil. Then he
courteously opened the door and they
filtered. Crossing the soft carpeted
floor Ihey went to their desks for tlm
nought for articles.
Mary bail picked up her kuliliiM;
mid was rising to go, ami Mr. Uohey

By NELLIE A.1 FAIRBANKS.
Jean IHckermaa pressed l.e.r pretty
pink' chin deep Into the palm of her
hand, as sin; watched the small white
snowtlalics whirr around, then land 1n
little piles outside the window.
"How I hate this old, loiiely farm
house with its rickety-old roof," and
Jean shivered as ihe low moan of the
wli;d briike the stillness.
"Just because .Tom's father left him
this old rattle-trap Is no reason Why 1
should spend my life here."
Living in the old, lonely farmhouse
bad been the bone of contention be
tween Jean and Tom ever since he had
brought her there a bride .one year be

At ton o'clock she went to her old

retire, turned oh her light,, a'nd raising
the curlulii she gazed, as she had tin;
iilghl before, nt the white flakes pil

she walched she pictured Tom, sitting
by the log tire. The wind blew the

jean hated the sound. She looked at

At last, cold aud wet, she -crept soft
ly up the steps, then quietly opened
the door. Tip toeing softly, she made
her way to the sitting room and up to
the old armchair, anil by the light of
the dying lire she could see that Tom
had fallen asleep. Pushing back his
rui'iled hair from his forehead, she
pressed her cold cheek against his

With a start Tom awoke, exclaim

this mean?" Then Jean explained
how unhappy she hud been the night
before. "If I had beeu obliged to walk
all the way from mother's, Toni. I
would have come Just the same." and
as the wind moaned again through the
chimney, Jean nestled closer and

and the dying light from the logs fell
upon a contented couple.

London. Nearly -00 warships of
the British navy, most of which have

Among' the vessels to he disposed of
are several which have a high place
In naval history and around which
hovers an Intense sentimental interest.
A somewhat similar step was taken
by the admiralty In 1!MM. w hen a large
number of obsolete vessels were dis
posed of. At that time a great hue and
cry was raised, as many persons feared
that the streiigih of the navy would be
seriously Impaired. Itut, as a mutter
of furl, the sale of the ships resulted

set free the personnel needed to
start the nucleus crew system, ami
laced out of commission ships which
did not eive an adeipinte return In
fighting etlici.-ucy for the cost of their
upkeep.
Widespread Interest will be aroused
by the revelation of the names of ships
to be- removed from service. Senli
mental Interest in his majesty's ships
of war Is strong, amounting almost to
reverence, evoked by such an ancient
monument as Nelson's Victory.
Among the ships now to he dis
posed of are many which have been
brought prominently before the public
eye. Several have flown the flags of
distinguished officers, and not a few
have made records in connection with
the war.
More than 100 destroyers, compris
ing the "A" to classes, are now
hissed as noneffective, ami !J7 of
them, including 21 for immediate dis
posal, appeared In the list of April 0.
There will .soon, therefore, be no destroyers-
In the navy launched before
1000. All Ihe torpedo boats, except
the "0 turbine-driven boats of the
coastal type built In "lOOlVOO, are "be
ing cleared off. and 46 are in" the list.
Perhaps the most Interesting unit of
this group is torpedo boat No. OT0,
which In the' naval maneuvers was
commanded by King George, then a
lieutenant in the navy.
