never worked with him, and did not
know him. but she returned her own
without asking single question. much
to the regular operators surprise.
The next day the operator managed
to get around to the way wire again.
He kept this up for awhile, and finally
began showing up late in the mornings
in order to be put on relief duty. He
succeeded in month. Then he asked
to be assigned to this circuit among
others. He had always worked none
but the heaviest wires in the Office, and
the other operators joked him good
deal about becoming railroad plug"
A ranker charge than this cannot be
imagined by telegrapher. But this
one did not say word. He continued
TO spend as much time on the local wire
as he possibly could. The next thing
the boys heard he had gone to get mar
ried.
After the honeymoon his wife re-
sumed her duties in the small office,
and he returned to the city. He ap-
piled at once for the way wire regular
ly. The officials did not want to give
it to him because he was too high
priced man. But he declared he
would work that wire or none at all,
and the officials finally agreed. For
some time he remained on the wire
with his wife at the other end. She
finally gave up her country post, how
ever, and went to the city, too; and
when she left the wire he returned to
the heavy circuit he had abandoned.

ting rid of n message or two. The pretty
little telegraph operator at this particu-
lar Office was busily engaged weaving
thread into tne deep trimming. Her
head was bent over her work. and she
was paying no attention to the tattling
tongue of brass. Suddenly there was
break in the circuit, and then the in
strument sputtered out the words:
Excuse me minute" in n quick,
nervous manner. Before the apology
had been finished the pretty little tel
egrapher's face lighted up, her work
was laid down, and her hand reached
FOR the key of her instrument. The
nervous operator who had interrupted
business followed up his apology with
the call of this particular office. The
young woman answered instantly.
I'll be there by eight. Good-by,"
he said.
"All right" she replied.
The operator who had been inter-
rupted resumed sending his message,
and the pretty little operator who was
responsible for the interruption re-
sumed her needle work with renewed
energy and bright face. No one on
the wire paid the slightest attention
to the charming little episode, and only
one person on the outside of the mys-
tic circle understood the art sufficient
ly to appreciate the situation. He was
the man with whom the Sun reporter
was conversing, and he was an old-time
telegrapher.
by Jove!" he remarked, there are
two more hearts that beat as one"
And then, becoming confidential, he
let the reporter into the secret "Do
you see that bright, pretty face behind
that counter, my boy?" he resumed.
DO you see it? Well, that face is
spoken for, and the preemptor will be
up here by the time she is ready to go,
and will see that no one else gets his
face anywhere near that face after it
leaves here. That young lady is en-
gagged. She is engaged to one of her
own profession, and it's dollars to
dimes that she fell in love over that

They pick up their knowledge of dots

Inquiry revealed the fact that the old
timer knew what he was talking about.
There are any number of operators
working in the main Office of the
Western Union in this city whose
fathers still do their 'trick, not few

The Longest Day.

1t is quite important, when speaking
of the longest day of the year, to say
what part of the world we are talking
about, as will be seen by the following
list, which tells the length of the long
est day in several places. How unfortu-
nate are the children of Tornea, Fin
land, where Christmas day is less than
three hours in length. At Stockholm,
Sweden, it is eighteen and one-half
hours in length. At Spitzbergen the
longest day is three and one-half
months. At London. Eng, and Bre-
men, Prussia, the longest day has six
teen and one half-hours. At Hamburg,
in Germany, and Dantzig, in Prussia,
the longest day has seventeen hours.
At Wardbury, Norway, the longest day
lasts from May 21 to July 22 without
interruption. At St Petersburgh, Rus
sia. and Tobolsk, Siberia, the longest
day is nineteen hours and the shortest
five hours. At Tornea, Finland, June
81 brings day nearly twenty-five
hours long, and Christmas one less
than three hours in length. At New
York the longest day is about fifteen
hours, and at Montreal, Can, it is six
teen hours. kansas Farmer.

museum at Washington, there is bone

rendered thus flexible by soaking it in acid,
which has dissolved out of it all its mineral
parts. leaving only the animal portion.
This portion makes about one-third of the
bone, which fact might surprise some peo-
ple who suppose that their bones are al

There are funny things about bones
other than funny bones" said an osteol-
ogist connected with the Smithsonian in
stitution. For example, the bones OF
birds are hollow and filed with warm air
from the lungs; so IL may be said that a
bird breathes down to its toes and TO the
tips OF its wings. In fact, If you break of
the wing of duck the animal can actually
breathe through the broken end of the
bone though you hold its head under
water. Some of the gigantic reptiles OF the
mesozoic epoch. which some scientists
claim 70 have been the ancestors Of man,
had hollow bones similarly filed with air
from the lungs, for the support Of their
bodies in the water while they browsed
