Left Her Editor In Tears.

Little Miss Veras ideas of the sus-
ceptbility of the editorial heart are
somewhat exaggerated. She has been
deeply impressed of late by the erratic
movements of mature friend who
prepares manuscript for newspapers
and so has come to be something of
writer herself. over page after page
she scrawls undecipherable sentences
in her unsteady, primary department
hand, and when the stories are fin
ished she submits them in person to
an imaginary editor whom she has
dubbed Mr. Bunting"
One day last week she told her friend
that she had written a new story.
What is 1t about?" asked the friend.
"Oh," was the reply, II can't tell. 1t
is too sad to talk about"
The friend asked no further ques
tons, and presently Vera volunteered
additional information. Il took it
downtown and showed it to Mr.. Bunt-
ing today" she said.
"Yes?" said her friend. What did
he say about it,
HE didn't say anything" was the
reply, but he just cried as if his heart
would break. New York Press.
