their presence his powers were fcttered
and he felt as stlffened as a leaf in the
first frost And up to this day he had
still regarded the society of women as a
good denied him because of his inabil-
ity to please them; when, in fact, he
had never once tried!
His mother had always said if ever
Hugh married the woman would have
to ask him.
Fate at last took him in charge, and
gave him good thump besides, rs n
gentle reminder that her powers were
not to be slighted, and he was as sub
ject to them rs any other mortal. The
morning she selected for his lesson he
went on a seemingly commonplace
errand to the post office to get some
stamps.
He was not handsome; for he had the
usual middle-siZed, muscular body, and
drab-brOwn hair and gray eyes of the
average American. Besides he had a
way of incoming" as his sister Mary
called it. That is. he would walk
along with his chin sunk into his
breast obliviOus of all external things,
and this detracted from his appearance
AS he ascended the steps of the
post office, hands buried in the pockets
of his coat, his mind off at tangent.
he received a blow on the nose that
made the blood squirt, and brought
tears to his eyes. He instinctively
clapped his hand over the injured MEM
her, and looked around to see who or
what had assaulted him in this violent
manner, when he felt a soft rag mop
ping his nose, and collected himself
enough TO see compassionate face
looking into his, and to hear a remorse-
full voice say:
''Oh, I'm SO sorry! Indeed l didn't
mean tor
While the tender hand wiped the
blood from his mustache.
AS soon as he became collected
enough, he discovered the cause of the
trouble to be that he and tall young
woman had tried to go through the
weather door, but unfortunately for
him, from opposite directions at the
same time. And, as she had the advan-
tage of him in the start, he had come to

from both shocks, that of having his
nose tenderly wiped by a strange hand,
moreover females and the pain of the
blow, he stammered out: Its of no
consequence whatever While his
eyes took as good look as their watery
condition wCLld permit at his tender
assailant
She, too, was of the ordinary type, a
tall, slender, brown-haired, we'll
dressed young woman, with an impu,-
sive nature that occasionally carried
her ont of bounds prescribed by de-
corum, as she had just proven. She was
very apt to do first and think after
wards.
She, having wiped up the ''claret,"
dropped the bloody rag on the steps and
went on her way. He turned and
looked after her, then stopped and
picked up the discarded kerchief, which
he hastily thrust into his pocket.
When he got back to his office he sent
the boy, who was a handy combination,
on an errand which he knew would be
executed at snairs pace, and give him

'.Mr. Rayburn, fate seems to have
selected us for companions in mis-
fortune"
He laughed and said: "Yes; aad this
is not our first encounter with her.
.'Our first! What do you mean?"
For answer he drew from his pocket
a long business-like pocketbook and
opening it took from one compartment
little white scrap This he gravely un-
folded and spread on his knees as he
said:

Elinor reading the name he pointed
to, exclaimed:

get it?''

lie looked at her smilingly, and re-
placing his treasure, said:
"Ycs. agree with you. l think fate
has selected us for companions, but not
only in misfortune, hope"
She blushed and glanced at the boy,
whose back was to them, who, with
head thrown back and mouth open
wide, was vainly gazing upward if he
expected to see anything, waiting for
help and orders.
''What time and place to say such a
thing" and she moved to the further
end of the seat, which action Hugh i'm.
mediately initiated.
''Say you agree with me, darling" he
urged softly in that tone, the sole prop
erty of men, and the despair of women
to initiate. She must use either a sib
liant whisper or tone perfectly audi-
BILE to anyone within ten feet of her.
Taking her hand again he urged an
answer by 4 gentle pressure of that
member, and an appealing look from
his handsome eyes.
''Well. yes" she began hesitatingly.
and as this was the signal for which
fate had waited, the elevator started
down with a jerk, which would have
thrown her to the floor had it not been
for a pair of willing and very ready
arms. SIDNEY KNOX.
