When the senior partner Is younp-
handsome ana unmarried and the wo-
man In the office of a quiet elegance
OF race and form, subtly suggestive Of
drawing rooms, 1t is apparent that
complications become possible.
Oglesby himself had vague con-
sclousness OF the fact ut the end OF
Miss Wentworth's first year there.
1t was not so much that, under the
charm OF her personality, n Turkish
rug, not originally included in the plan
or office furnishings had found its way
into her room-that was n small mat
ter.' But that he perceived a certain
inc0ngruity in the fact that her slen-
der, well shod feet rested upon q pol
iShed floor. while he and Stanton
walked on rugs. was more significant.
When incOngruities Of this sort attract
business mans attention he should
beware.
Miss Wentworth, to be sure, had an
atmosphere all her own, which seemed
to demand proper setting for her
To this silent demand of her indiyii-
uallty Oglcsby made Il good many con-
cesslons from time to time, almost
without knowing that he did so. He
had whimsical theory that she was
like fine china and should be treated
with the greatest delcacy.
She herself never seemed to suspect
that there was anything unusual in the
attention that was paid to her com
fort. II rug were put down in her
IL
proper that there should be rug
there. III Mr.. Oglesby showed real
anxiety to know whether the chair that
she occupied was as comfortable a
one as could be procured, Miss Went
worth supposed that 1t was but the
usual kindliness displayed by employ
ers for their employees
1t was not until the little room occu-
pied by her contained every office con-
venience that Oglesby was brought to
consciousness of the fact that there
thoughtfulness.
"Um! Seems to me, old man, that
you're daft on the subject Of our fair
assistant" observed his partner when
Tor the third time In as many months
he had suggested some improvement to
be made in the stenographer's equip
ment.
Oglesby answered him somewhat tart
ly and in manner meant to convey
that an Oglesby could under no cir
cumstances whatever become interest
ed In woman not of his own class.
Still the fact that Stanton bad noticed,

or patronage that Miss Wentworth
might have absorbed-a reference that
was received by her with an indiffer-
snt smile and quick reference to busi-
ness matters in hand that left him
feeling neatly and beautifully snubbed.
subsequently, in the stenograDher's
room, Miss Wentworth took a letter
head from the drawer at her side with
the air Of person in deep thought.
Then, with scornful smile playing
about her lips, she dropped the paper
into the machine, gave the roller q
quick contemptuous turn and MUIR
INJURED to herself:

Oglcsby became more and more con.
WINGED MS the days went by that a
dire thing had happened to him.
WHY. otherwise, was lie forever fur
lively watching her clear, pure outlines
with satisfied delight?
Yet his very soul WINGED mt the
thought of IN OglcSby in love with a
typewriter girl--nnd one. moreover,
who scarcely noticed him. With that
thought the queer. unreasonable cX-
ultation that he had experienced before
ut being Snubbed darted through him.
He was proud OF her-proud of her
as If she had been himself.
For two generations the OgicsbyS had
married bellies of their day. Indeed, to
be born an Oglesby--and man-was
much the same thing as being born a
prince OF the blood.
And now the head Of the Oglesby
family was absolutely dependent upon
girl of the people-a young woman
who earned her living by means Of the
skill by which her long, white fingers
licked off the letters that pertained to
the vast Oglesby interests.
Admitting that the impossible could
happen, he reflected. wouldn't 1t be
sweet? Glaring headlines in the daily
newspapers: "Oglesby Weds His Pret-
ty Stcnographer" "Romance In q Wall
Street Officer The thought was too
much. And lie turned to the papers
that lay on his desk with his lips shut
In cruel smile. She must go!
"She Is queen. all right" he was
thinking as he held . portentous docu-
ment before his eyes in the dclusion
that he was reading it. "Shes
queen. but we Oglcsbys cannot marry
queens who have got lost from their
qucendoms"
At that moment there was tap at
the door, and i'm response TO his num-
b!ed Come in!' the lady OF his
thoughts entered. In less time than Ii
takes to write 1t the Oglesby pride
skunk out OF sight. After all she need
not go! The mere thought of some
round checked girl with belligerent
pompadour filing her place made him
feel murderous.
He rose to place chair for her, dim
ly aware through the confusion Of his
thoughts that she had expressed wish
to speak TO him upon personal mat
ter. Then shiver of intuition caused
him to look at her keenly.

that flashed wickedly through Miss
Wentworth's mind. Her acknowledge
ment of his greeting was reduced to a
flicker Of the cyclids that came peril
ously near to being imperceptible.
The effect was by no means lost up
on Mr.. Oglesby and produced in him a
queer mixture of triumph and indigna-
ton.

and its candidate for having been

from the firing line in Indiana, Il

have not had his equal as Presiden-
tial candidate since the days OF Sam

the ticket 500 majority in place Of the
400 it gave Mckinley in 1900, I'll get

And the spirit which animates this
Indiana editor will move every one
of his contemporaries who looked
Judge Parker in the eye, listened to his
stirring words and felt the friendly
grasp of his hand.
The editorial conference and a visit
of the editors to Rosemount mark an
epoch in the great contest now on be-
tween Democracy. as represented by
Alton b. Parker, and Republicanism,
us illustrated by Theodore Roosevelt.
This interchange of ideas and this per-
sonal contact with the Democratic
standard bearer means that the 51O0
Democratic and independent journals
which are now supporting Parker and
Davis will henceforth work together
along Identical lines for common pur-
pose and with redoubled energy. 1t

and convincing presentation to the
