They are telling in New York Pro-

amanuensis who captured rich hus-
band by trick and device. He was a
widower, hard seasoned by quarter of
century of woman-hating. He hired
comely girl to work u typewriter in
his Office. For II year he thought moth
ing of her beyond her employment in
purely business way. Last summers
heat made him sleepy on idle after
moons, and he got into habit of taking
Il nap on his sofa. The demure, ire
proachable girl had ere this, it would

and brush. Then she made the stroke
for fortune. If it had been so much as
touch of her soft hands on his bare
pate, or the suggestion of caress to his
shoulder, he would have known that she
was up to some vile of fascination, and
her venture would thereafter have been
hopeless. But he felt nothing but the
brush and comb. However, those tools
of hairdressing were deity put through
the motions of parting hair where it
ought to have grown, while in point of
fact there was nothing there except the
merest furze. A mirror hung opposite,
and he looked into it to catch her laugh
mo behinp his back. but she was MS
tranquil, sweet, and grave as though
her job wasn't hollow mockery. He
was caught without further struggle, the
narrative of the exchange AYERS, and
she was retired from Office service to be-
come week ago the half milionaire's
bride.
