of the convicted soldier entered his mind
and the thought that perhaps a pardon
WAS being detained in Pittsburgh awaiting
his presence at the office, gave him un-
edainess. CHANGING OF his watch his heart
rose 70 his throat as he noted the hands

for the difference in time, would allow the
culbrit but fifteen minutes OF lie, with
possibility Of q pardon delayed by his neg
iect The thought accelerated his motion
from walk toa run. Entering the office

agitation increased as he heard Pittsburgh

recent employment OF women as operators
in many OF the Eastern and Western
States bids fair to become q feature In the
business. Experience has demonstrated
their entire fitness for the new sphere into
which they are entering. Tho neatness
and grace which they bring to their new
vocation, surround It with an,air Of re-.
fnement and smiability peculiarly pleas
