WHEN LILLIAN LOOKED FOR WORK
BY OHIO B. SENGA.
copyrighted, 1905 by The authors Publishing Company

Mrs. Barnes put aside the letter she
had been reading, and gaZed into the
fire with troubled expression.
what is the matter, my dear?"
questioned Mr.. Barnes.
why, this letter is from Cousin
Williams children-the twins, you
know. 1t seems that when property
matters were adjusted after Williams
death there was found to be almost
nothing remaining, only an annuity
for his wife; you know she has been
an invalid for years. Not anything
for the twins, and they are coming to
Boston to look for work | would
really like, Aaron, to invite them to
stay here until they secure positions"
Suit yourself, my dear, suit your
self. Only don't discourage them in
their attempts to find work; it will do
them good. They can find something,
even if it isn't quite to their liking
Good, strong boys-about sixteen,
aren't they?-ought to find employ
ment if they're not too proud to take
what they can get, until they can find
what they want Now, when I first
came to Boston"
Mrs. Barnes had heard this too
many times to enjoy it's repetition, and
she hastily exclaimed: But, Aaron,
one is grill"
Same thing, same thing" returned
Mr.. Barnes, testily-he wanted to re-
late his early Boston experiences
''but you'd better keep the girl in the
house. Don't believe in girls going
out to work. What can girl of that
age do?"
"She is older than you think" said
Mrs. Barnes, soothingly; "the twins
are nineteen, and Lille says she can
do anything that Willie can"
Invited by Mrs. Barnes, the twins
came a few days later. Mr.. Barnes
peered out from under his bushy eye
brows and over his gold-rimmed spec
tacles at the girl.
$50 you can do anything your broth
er can, can your" he asked, quizzical-
1y. noting her bright, alert look, and
quiet dignity Of manner.
Anything except fight" she an
swered, proudly. 81 can fight, but
we've kept together in everything else.
can ride and shoot and row. I can
saddle or harness a horse, and can
dress game as well as Willie can"
The old man smiled grimly at the
list Of Lillians accomplishments. "Do
you expect to find any of those things
to do here in Boston,"
"You are laughing at me, Mr.. Barnes.
We are first-class stenographers and
bookkeepers, and I am Just as capa-
BILE as Willie in every way. Our books
look exactly alike; you can't tell our
writing apart"
''As for that" said Mr.. Barnes, 81
can hardly tell you two apart If you
were dressed alike, know couldn't"
Lille is half inch shorter than I,
and weighs less, but we can make up
to look exactly alike" and Willie

Chased bv Wild Docs

Chased for more than a mile by
pack Of wild dogs, apparently a cross
between the common dog and the
wolf, Miss Gertie Sullivan, daughter of
sheepman living on Birch Creek,
Mont, escaped only by spending the
night in an old corral and picking off
the animals now and then with
rifle.
Miss Sullivan was riding her pony
across the prairie when she saw some
distance away perhaps twenty animals,
which ct first glance she took to be
coyotes.
AS they came nearer, evidently in
pursuit of her, the girl saw they were
not coyotes, but wild dogs, Of which
there are several small packs in north
ern Montana and just over the Cana.
dian line.
1t became ride for life with Miss
Sullivan. She had with her a small
rifle, but the animals seemed so saw
age she dared not stop and give them
battle.
AS she began to despair of escaping
she sighted the old sheep corral, and
toward this she rode, reaching it only
when the pack was but a short dis
lance away. To enter with the pony
and close the gate was the work Of
moment.
Swapping and snarling, the dogs tore
at the poles forming the stockade, but
unable to gain an entrance. The girl
began shooting at the animals, which
retreated when she fired and returned
to the attack when the rifle was si-
lent
Miss Sullivan was found by her
father and brother, who had been
seeking her.

NICE LITTLE LOVE STORY.

Not Much Romance Connected With
the Divine Passion To-day.
A dreamer and a man Of action
loved a woman.
The dreamer said: 81 shall write
verses in her praise; they will touch
her vanity, and she will love me for
them"
But the man of action said: How
old-fashioned. / shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her"
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
induced a friend of his, who ran 10.
cent magazine, to print them. And
the man Of action cornered something
or other, and became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care, and the
man of action was SO busy that he
didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married.-Smart Set.

gagged in this lucrative business, both
in working out new ideas and in dress
ing the part and acting it out
The persons who earn a livelihood
by planning or taking part in display
advertising call themselves 'Illustra-
tors" Consistently enough, they be-
lieve themselves to be artists. And,
in a sense, some of them are.
When they do something do
stunts" as the boys say-besides mere
ly looking a part, then the illustra-
tors become demonstrators and the
demonstration generally leads life OF
encore performances.
One would think the woman who

Of knowing that she is a most thor

The best known professional demon
strator in the country is Miss Vir-
ginia Pope. She also is the highest
priced. Perhaps that is not saying a
great deal nowadays, because the
wages have been decreasing since the
business became more popular and
less exclusive. A few years ago Miss
Pope could, like most specialists, COM
mand her own price and insist on
contract. Nowadays the men and wo
men who make exhibitions Of them
selves or others for advertising's sake
get from S. to SIS per week. Experts
like Miss Pope, however, are indie
pendent operators, and will never per-
nit themselves to be merely hirelings

agreement to boom a certain article.
For that booming she is paid, first, a
stipulated price; second, her expenses,
