captain could not produce. His vessel was
seized and the Shenandoah started after

SELENA, MY TYPEWRITER.
BY ANNA JORDAN.

To the public my friends, and my type
writer l owe this story:
When 1 first took possession of the snug
suite of Offices in tall building near
NEWSPAPER square, where, as a business
like newspaper woman, find it to my
ADVANTAGE to De. put an advertisement
in the paper calling for a typewriter.
In reply there came scores of answers,
and for days I really regretted havins
been SO indiscreet as to make my wants
known to the public in this way. Many
of the applicants were men. but belong
20 the class of professional women who
boast that their business is run by wo>
men.
The young women who presented Them
selves all had their faults and PECULIAR,
ties. ana none seemed to suit exactly until
one day the door opened and in walked
a slender, red-cheel1ed girl whose manner
said she had come to stay.
1 agreed with her. and we soon came
TO the modest terms she required. And
that same day we settled down to work
LAS a newspaper worker" I said TO her.
81 shall want you to attend to my CORE
spoudence, read the papers, remember my
appointments, and-that is all. You get
the idea?'
Selena-that was her name-seemed to
grasp the idea at once. And in a week
! had the supreme joy Of seeing a
clockworll movement animating my Of
fee machinery.
Selena always preceded me to the office.
and when l got down l would find the
voluminous mail which daily awaits a

one day looking from my window down
into the street I saw Selena step from our
doorway, hold out her little hand for the
hrst drops, then start bTavely forth al
though she must have known that her
smart spring hat would suffer from the
rain. And week later 1 saw her plunge
boldly up the street, umbrellaless, in The
face of a swift. driving rain-whiIe l had
the coat and umbrella
Ana another case l recall now of Sc
lena's devotedness to me. 1t was one noon
time wheP our building elevator was tenn
porarily out of order and l. with dislike
10 stair climbing, had resolved TO 80 lunch
less rather than venture out. But on my
desk 1t noon l found a neat little pack
age of luncheon, accompanied by a type
written note from Selena. saying that she
had gone out to her lunch and begging my
acceptance of the inclosed.
Little by little Selena did reporting for
me, and how cleverly she did it! In de-
mure dress she would visit the Working
Girls Clubs and take notes, without
catching the Representatives, and over
wrought nervous condition which seem to
be dealt out with the biscuit and tea at
these meetings.
And in snug tailor-made gown achieved
by HERSELF and with a chic boa around
her slender neck. she would stroll up the
avenue and come back with an accurate
description of the costumes; while on the
late and uncertain days when society was
having its last pre-European farewell Sc
ries of teas she would get herself up in
the nattiest of velvet bodies and would
pick her way uptown to find out all about
X Sometimes in gala attire she would
call upon the 400-with whom l must make
my editors believe l keep in daily touch
and would get surprising information from
them.
Selena's reports were always good, and
