A PIatOnic Friendship.
BY PERSIS PENROSE.

you are late this morning, "
said the city editor with dis.
pleasure.
Miss Dorsey's lips frightened
and a spark of resentment lit
her eyes. Why need Mr.. Mar.
win always use that tone in
addressing her? She was aware
Of her hardness and had been
on the point of mentioning it
herself and apoiogizing.
There was a blockade" she
replied with dignity. Il had to
walk part way
The city editor said nothing
instead he smiled-that cool,
inexplica BILE, whollyGexasperat,
ing 1smile which Miss Dorsey
was Learnt ng to know so we'll.
The man himself was quite as
inexplicable as his smile, She
had learned that, too.
For two weeks-ever since
the new city editor took charge
she had been striving con-
scientiously to perform her
work in a manner satisfactory
to him. That she had failed
signally was only too apparent.
Every day brought some fresh
difficulty, some unexpected COM
plication. The harder she tried
to please him the surer she was
to meet with obstacles which
made the desired end impossible
Miss Dorsey despaired of un-
derstanding the why of it. That
the situation demanded a
psychic Interpretation she was
at last convinced.
This morning she attacked
her work in a recklessly resent,
full spirit which resulted disas.
trously before the morning was
half over.
The story she was writing
baked from the first and wher
Mr.. Merwin began calling for
copy there was none forthcom.
log.
Copy, please, Miss Dorsey

dreadfully trying one. 1 can
S ,e that. And as for Mr.. Mer.
win - he's just the kindest,
dearest, most considerable"
The sentence lost itself in an in.
articulate murmur.
Margaret merely SAID "Ohw
very thoughtfully.
Blanche was late again the
next afternoon. 1t was quite
dusk when she returned.
Margaret, gazing from the
window, saw young man take
leave of her at the door.
"Mr. MerwIn was good enough
TO see me home" Blanche eX.
planned in reply to the enquir.
ing look that greeted her. Then
she laughed. He really could
not help it very well when 1
asked him."
you asked him.
1T amounted to that"
Blanche's eyes and cheeks
were a revelation.
You don't look at all tired
to night"
I'm not, and I've worked
hard all day, too"
During the weeks that fol.
lowed Blanche developed an
amazing interest in household
matters. She .even sat up one
night struggling with the Gre
alton of a sofa cushion under
Margaret's instruction.
1t occupied a conspicuous
place on the divan when Mr.,
Merwin called next evening.
There, now, ; remarked
Blanche after he had departed,
lis the sort of a man with whom
a girl can enjoy purely pla.
tonic friends hip. Don't you
think so, Margaret"
1t was on the next evening
that Blanche and Mr.. Merwin
attended the Press Club dance.
Margaret was Weakened in the
night to hear the fumbling of d
latch key in the outer door, She
slipped softly to the open win
dow. There was a wonderful
radience of moonlight. In the
doorway two figures made one
shadow.
Blanche" murmured Mer.
wins voice, this beauty was
made for us. Look at me, dear
est! Oh. I've dreamed Of this
happiness"
Margaret withdrew discreetly
$50 much for platonic friend.
Ship" she said, nodding wisely
in the darkness. Il knew it
would end this way, 1 knew it
from the first.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-08-06

Then the spirit of perversity
which had seized her ideas
seized Miss Dorsey. In a fash
she had flung down her pencil
and let fly the impetuous words
that leaped to her lips.
Il can't do it in that time, Mr.
Merwin, it's no use"
You near that you refuse?"
Il mean that l can't do it,"
Very well. I'll write it my.
self. l could have completed
it in the time we have taken to
argue the matter"
The incident flung its baleful
influence over the entire day.
Matters eliminated late that
afternoon in a sarcastic verbal
encounter wherein the city ed.
itor delivered himself freely of
his opinions and Miss Dorsey
cloaked her wounded feelings
under a haughtily Indifferent
exterior.
The girl was glad when she
could hurry home to Margaret,
her room mate, and pour out her
woes in sympathetic ear.
City editors" she declared,
"are brutes.'
She gave the assertion atriple
punctuation by hurting her hat
on the table, her jacket on the
shirt waist box in the corner
and her umbrella across the i'm.
provised refrigerator in which
she and Margaret kept delica.
lessen dainties for cosy evening
repasts.
Dear, dear murmured the
ever sympathetic Margaret.
Not being acquainted with the
species she could scarcely com.
NIT herself until further en-.
lightened.
'Brutesw reiterated Blanche
Dorsey, throwing herself reck.
lessly upon the divan and there
by lmperiling the yellow fluff
ness of Margaret's latest sofa
cushion.
Margaret kept worried eye
on her treasure while she moved
a bout picking up the discarded
wraps. She was accustomed to
Blanche's ways, but cheerfully
overlooked deficiencies, argu-
ing in her kindly heart that
new spaper women are not sup,
posed to possess the house
wifely instinct.
Tell me all about it. dear"
she said soothingly. And
Blanche told her.
MAJ garet waxed duly indig-
nant as she listened and Joined
the narrator in verbally belab.
oring the city editor.
Naturally she looked for a
cor tinued report of his behavior
W hen Blanche returned home
the following day and was not
a little astonished to be met
with evasive replies.
The next day it was the same,
ana when Margaret expressed
as torishment Blanche only said
I'm too disguised and weary
over it to care anything more
about it,"
An unexpected assignment
kept her late the next after.
noon.
You look awfully tired, dear
It's a shame the way that mon,
ster of a city editor makes you
work." cried the motherly Mar.
