The newspaper woman walked on q

Montgomery wavered. The woman's
tone was frank and friendly, without
a suspicion of patronage in it. She
held out her hand with an engaging
smile. The boy was cold and wet and
hungry. Down in the bottom of his
tough little soul was a longing for SYM

to the pavement dazed and bleeding.
Somebody ran to help him, but he was
on his feet again.
''Don't stop me; don't stop me- he
said, dizzily; '1emme go, for Gods
sake
Somebody tried to stop him, but he
stumbled on. The Office lights were
shining in his eyes, and he knew he
had beaten the town.
And that is how it happened that a

Miss Dodge came drearily down the

ing to him strangely. His faculty of
observation was singularly developed
for one of his years, and he spoke the
language of the streets with a brisk
ness and cheerful Inconsistencies of
its vnlgarity that made it quite engag
ing.
TO the newspaper woman it was
something to have another friendless
soul with her. It gave her Pharisaical
pleasure to see somebody who was
really worse used by the world than
herself, and supping in a shabby restau-
rant with newsboy was a slap in Mrs.
Grundy's face that was q relief to her
rebellious mood.
After supper Montgomery escorted
her to the door of the newspaper Office
where she was employed. From that
day they were fast friends. The boy was
her guest at supper several nights, and
then on an occasion he appeared in
new high collar and invited her to sup
with him at the cafe he called the Bite
and Fly, and they had an oyster stew,
and buckwheat cakes and ice cream.
He fell into the habit of lettering near
the office door at the time of day when
Miss Dodge would be coming down.
When they met she would say:
Hello, Montgomery! How's your
end of the profession?"
And Montgomery, swelling with
pride at being thus included in the
limit of journalism. responded:
''Out O sight. How's yours?"
The newspaper woman cherished a
dream of literary fame. She was writ
ing novel, in fact. 1t had a great
deal of philosophy in it, and it ended
very sadly. Parts of it she read to
Montgomery at the bite and Fly"
He heard with patience. There was a
long silence. Then he spoke.
''Wel, of course, you're onto this
writin' business, an 1 amt, but if
was you I'd end it different-make it
dead easy for them folks. A fellow

The novel was changed. Indeed, Is

Their intercourse, therefore, was

Then Montgomery s1ouched into sight,

Then a remarkable thing happened.
The newspaper woman stopped, gave
him tremendous hug and kissed him
square on his frecxled cheek. Itmade
him feel uncomforta BILE. but somehow
he was glad afterward to remember it.
1t was a busy winter, socially and
politically There was news, and i'm
portant news. too, on foot. The very
air breathed it, but the usual channels
of information were blocked. Officials
were non-committal, underlings afraid
to speak. There were rumors of an in
suit to the flag in foreign waters,
though no one could say that the thing
had really happened, nor what would
be the outcome of it.
It was late in the evening of day
that had been exasperating1y barren
of developments. Montgomery was on
his way home. AS he passed the
white house something lying inst in
side the fence, where the light of the
gate lamp lit it up alluringly, caught
his eye. 1t was an illustrated weekly,
with startling pictures on pink
ground, and some careless hand had
thrust it through the bars. Montgom-
cry flung himself down anu reached
for it. His arm was still outstretched
when two men came out of the gate.
Their coats almost brushed the boy,
but they did not see him. They stopped
while the elder lighted his cigar.

"And if he does not approve it, what

The men had moved on, but Mont

In flash the illustrated weekly was
forgotten. He rose to his feet and re-
peated the words softly to himself:
Absolute apology force one re-
sign
He recognized the speaker dimly.
Where had he seen HIM before? It
flashed over him in a moment! It was
the secretary of state!

get it to the newspaper woman before
she went home. He bent his head and

just the Thing for the Accessories of q

The fancy for collars and other &C.
cessories of ecru grass-linen on summer
dresses grows rapidly, and each week
novelties are shown among them. They
are thought far more stylish as a finish
to dark dresses of crepon or of mohair
than are the collars of heavy lace worn
last summer or the velvet revers so
long used. The grass-linen of which
they are made is known to some as ecru
linen batiste and to others as grass
cloth. 1t is sheer and fine linen in the
ecru or uubleached tint of fax, shade
not always becoming, and requiring
often a bit of yellow lace or a colored

it so. It is especially liked in very

THE CLOWNS BABY.

It was out on the western frontier.
Fhe miners, rugged and brown,
Were gathered around the posters
The Giro - had come TO town.
The great tent Shone in the darkness
Like wonderful palace of light,
And rough men crowded the entrance;
Shows didn't come every night
Not woman's face among them;
Many face that was bad,
And some that we're only vacant,
And some that were very sad
And behind canvas curtain,
In corner of the place.
The clown, with chalk and yerm1ll1on,
Was making up his face.
A weary-looking woman,
With smile that still was sweet,
Sewed on a little garment,
With cradle at her feet.
PantaIoonS stood ready and waiting;
1t time for the going on;
But the clown in vain searched wildly,
The property baby was gone.
He murmured, impatiently hunting:
Its strange that cannot find:
There! I've looked in every corner;
1t must have been left behind!'
The miners were stamping and shouting,
They were not very patient men;
The clown bent over the cradle:
Il must take you, little Benz!
The mother started and shivered.
But trouble and want were near;
She lifted her baby gently:
You'll be very careful, dear?"
Careful? You foolish darling"
How tenderly it was said;
While smile shone through the chalk and
paint:
Il love each hair Of his headi"
The noise rose into an uproar,
Misrule for the time was king;
The clown, with foolish chuckle,
Bolted into the ring.
But as, with squeak and flourish,
The f1ddIers closed their tune.
you hold him as il he made of glass;
Said the clown to the pantaioon.
The jovial fellow nodded;
i've o couple myself" he said
Il know how to handle EN-, bless you'll
Old fellow, go ahead!"
The fun grew fast and furious,
And not one of all the crowd
Had guessed that the baby was alive,
When he suddenly laughed aloud.
Oh, that baby laugh! 1t was echoed
From the benches with ring
And the toughest customer there spraug up
With: Boys, it's the real thingl"
The ring was damned in a minute,
Not man that did not strive
For "a shot at holding the baby"
