When his Ewes Are opened.

Allie Steen, the bright young son
of Palatka's Mayor-doctor, A. NJ.
Steen, is having considerable anuse-
ment lately at the expense of love-
sick swain up in Havre de Grace,
Md, and when this young mans eyes
are opened to the fact that he is be-
ing guyed-as they are eventually
sure to be-the chances are that he
will feel, If anything, even smaller
than 30cents.
The story runs thnsly.
Some two years ago young Steen
was willing away an idle hour down
at the shipping pier of Tilghmans
shingle mill, and while sitting on a
pile of shingles he carelessly wrote
his name thus, Allie Steen, Palatka,
Fla" with an indelible pencil which
he happened to have in his pocket.
The young mans name is Alexander
NJ. Steen, jr., but for short he is call
ed Allie. 1t does sound a little
Sissy" like, but there is nothing of
the sissy" about Allie.
This bundle of shingles was ship
ped out in II cargo, but the young
man who wrote his name carelessly
never gave it another thought.
Something like II month ago let
ter came to the Palatka postotiice
addressed to Miss Allie Steen,' and
1t was turned over to the heir-appar-
ent of the mayor as being the party
who nearest answered that descrip-
ton.
The letter proved to be from one C.
Horton Roadway of Havre de Grace,
Nd. It was II diplomatic letter. c.
Horton didn't spill himself in tn. t
first 6pistle. He felt his way easily.
He told Of how ne came across the
name on shingle that was going
onto new house, and how he was
impressed with the name and of his
impulse to write in the hope that
Miss Steen would favor him with a
reply, if perchance, she could forgive
him for his boldness, etc.
The letter pleased Allie. He was
glad to hear from his shingle, and
then it occurred to him that he could
have little sport by keeping up the
delusion. And then Sc. Horton"
was SUCH pretty name, and he felt
that If he didn't reply to the letter G.
Horton might think he had been over
bold and given offense.
To cut the story short miss" Allie
wrote to g. Horton, and there have
been several letters exchanged
These letters are how getting warm.
In the last one that "Miss Allie" re-
celved G.. Horton disclosed the fact
that he held arailway position, could
get passes easily, and that he might
run down.
The News hopes he will, and also
that when his eyes are opened and
he has bought something for Allie
and all his friends, he Will at least
give the object of his present atfec-
lions chance to sell him Il life in
surance policy; because Allie is now
Il full-fledged life insurance agent,
and one who is more concerned about
taking applications than he is in
palming himself of as IL sweet 'steen
year old to II Maryland dude who
parts his pretty name in the middle.
