Fary for him 10 keep informed as to
the invalid's progress.
To secure this information it was
decided that he should call I'D overthe
telephone and inquire Of the brokers'

merely professional The daughter
told how her father was getting along
and the physician directed the doing
of things for his comfort. As days
went by the doctor and the daughter
found other things TO talk about in
addition to the condition Of the sick
mantle condition Of the weather
for instance, and the prospects for a
pleasant week.
Then gradually they increased the
scope Of their telephone conversations
and became Interested in each other.
The result was a friendship which
soon became something else, and now
they are married.
Frequently two people employed in
different offices become acquainted
by the accident of telephone calls.
Not long ago the son Of wealthy
merchant had occasion to call up
business man. aud the stenographer
of the business man answered the
phone. 1t happened that her en-
ployer was busy, and she held the
wire for the young man while he
waited for the man with whom he de-
sired TO speak
1t also happened that just at that
time terrific thunderstorm was
passing over the city. and it seemed
a perfectly natural thing to talk
about it. 1t did not seem like break
ing into conversation in cold blood
when they could compare notes on
the fierceness Of the storm. Pres
emily the employer came to the tele-
phone and the young woman by all
right should have dropped out of the
life of the young man, but she didn't.
1t was wonderful how many calls that
young man found occasion to make
over the business mans telephone.
and for the most part the business
man knew nothing about them. They
did not get past the young woman
who answered the first
Being thus acquainted over the tel
ephone, it became imperative, of
course. that they should meet, which
they did. Neither was disappointed
IN the other when they saw as well
as heard each other and. as in the
other cases, their wedding was a Sc
auence.

ried telephone girl with whom his
acquaintance started in acolding. She
had committed that objectionable
offense" of which the telephone girl
is guilty occasionally, to the annoy
ance of the subscriber. She had cut
him off"
The irate business man got her on
the other end of the line and proceed
ed to read the riot act" He declared
he would report her to her manager,
and that he would see to it that she
was discharged. In fact, he ranted
much, as a busy, bothered business
man would when something occurred
which interrupted the smooth course
of his business arrangements.
To his surprize the hello" girl
apolOgized-sweetly and contritely
she begged his pardon for the offense,
which had been quite unintentional.
Then the business man was sorry. and
he said so. 1t ended, for that time,
with the business man apoIogizing,
and then mild Irritation sprang up.
The business man and the telephone
girl met, and shortly afterwards they
were married.

= WE'D HIS PET DOG.
Feat, WaVerIy Moore Lost His
OsYn Life,

Under n recent date a Richmond
(Na.) correspondent writes that, with
grief according to its kind, a faith
Iul dog mourned the other day when
its master, Waverly Moore, was
buried Moore sacrificed his life for
the dog. Until the casket was re-
moved the dog kept vigil and then
ran to the spot where Moore was
killed by a traiA.
Moore was machiniSt and lived
with his wife and mother al No. 1925
West Marshall street. When he left
his work Wednesday night IN the Sea-
board Air line shops his little dog
was there as usual to accompany him
home. Moore was wearied after his
days work ana .,as walking along
the main line tracks over which the
fast trains pass, when the Southern
express approached from behind.
Neither Moore nor his dumb COM
panion heard the express until it was
upon them. \ shriIl whistle was the
first warning and it came too late.
Moore glanced around and saw that
the engine was almost upon him. He
was apparently unmindful of himself
in the presence of the sudden danger.
The dog was trembling from terror
a few PAGES in front of him. Moore
made a mighty effort, and bending
forward. grasped the dog and threw
it clear of the track. The next in
slant the express train struck him
and hurled his lifeless body high i'll
the air. But the dog was saved.
Two tramps witnessed the tragedy.
They say that Moore could probably
have saved himself had he not over
looked his own danger and turned to
the dog.
From the time his master was
killed the dog remained beside the
body. He followed the undertaker's
wagon. and was allowed to take his
place beside the casket, where he
watched until the time Of the funer-
al, when he was taken away from the
sad scene.
