SHE CAUGHT SIOHT OF

1t was blowing fearfully! Two long
black objects waved mournfully or
dashed wildly as the wind willed,
against the shutters of a rear window
of Il house on Nebraska avenue. The
occupant of large back room of a
clearinghouse on Pipe Stone avenue
caught sight of them as nc was peace
fully smoking his pipe near the win
dow. Their gyrations fascinated him.
lie wondered what the deuce that
mourning was hanging out the back
window for. A ficrccr blast loosened
them, and they sailed triurnphantly
aloft only to fall plump under his
window. He saw them fall, and with
a natural impulse looked at the win
dow where they had erstwhile
danglcd. lie saw at that window the anx-
ious countcnance of her he had dubbed
the modern, Katherine; then it disap-
pearcd. And in few moments the
girl came out into the alley lie saw
her try the gate which led into
the backyard of his boarding house.
1t was locked. She looked at the fence
as if she mcditatcd climbing it, 1t was
too high; she could not She stood n
moment in pcrplcXity when she heard
voice say: 81 will get them for YOU"
Not long after hand reached over the
top of the high fence, between the
thumb and index finger of which, held
gingcrly, were her best blacl, silk
stockings neatly tackled together as she
had hung them up.
"Thanll you," she murmured, blush
ing very unnecessarily; for he could not
nor over IL scvcn-foot one. "You are
very kind to take that trouble"
"Oi it is nothing" he replied. with
his fatal smile, which, fortunately for
him, she could not see.
She reflected: Gle has n pleasant
voice, and can't be as old as thought
him.
lie thought: "Shc must bc the singer,
her voice sounds musical. She must be
very poor" and he sighed as he went
back into the house. Before he reached
it, however, he spied handkerchief.
20! flimsy rag, what mischief have You
not done in the history of mankind,
from the foolish, blinded Moor down to
this poor old foolr" lie picked it up.
Neatly written in the corner was the
name "Kate Brady" He said: 81 can't
call her back. III take it to her.
He dressed carefully and about five
o'clock presented himself at No. $500
Nebraska avenue. The servant was so
impressed by his manner, or his gar
ments, she seated him in the parlor and
went for Miss Kate with alacrity. She
soon appeared and Immediately recog-
nized her neighbor. She neither blushed
nor faltered, but he did both. When he
presented the little square of white she
broke into a laugh and said: ''You seem
to be the master of the wardrobe, like
Queen Elizabeth's man, I've forgotten
his name"
Embarrassment with man is transi-
tory, SO lie replied: "a very desirable
Office i'll some cases, cminently so in
this should think" At which Kate
blushcd, and tried to look severe. It
was not long until he applied for that
among other Offices, and got it. Kate

laundress, it saves one so much anxiety
and modification. SIDNEY KNOX.
