Problem
BY ADELAIDE L. ROUSE
BY ADELAIDE L. ROUSE
Copyrixhf, 1908, BY Adelaide L. Rouse

HOLM HOYT was tired Of sitting
in the gloomy Office on the sec
q ond floor Of Vane & Co.'S ware
house, where he filled the posi-
tons Of bookkeeper by day and watch
man by night. He put aside the law
book over which he had been doing
and took his macintosh down from its
nail. He was not on duty for some
time yet, and he ran lightly downstairs.
lie walked toward the house Of his en-
ployer, where he was a frequent WIS.,
itor, for Rosamond, Mr.. Vanes hand
some daughter, was by no means
averse to the attentions Of John HOyt.
Young men Of intelligence were scarce
in Millville, and John was college bred
and handsome withal
John did not know why he walked'in
that direction, for he was not dressed
for calling. He did not ring the bell,
but he stood on the steps and for a
moment looked into the drawing room.
The curtains had not been drawn, for
the gas was not yet lighted, but the
freight showed the interior Of the
room and its one occupant. Rosamond
yane sat before the piano, singing an
air from an opera. John had heard
it. 1t had been one of the few eX-
travagances he had allowed himself
during his college days.
Miss Vane wore an evening gown of
some thin black material which set off
her pale golden hair. John could not
see the face, but he knew it well-the
exquisitely cut features, the deep blue
eyes and the fair complexion. He
guessed that she was expecting him,
and he went up the steps and put OUT
his hand to touch the bell when he re
membered his dress. The water was
dripping from his macintosh, and bis
rubber boots were spattered with mud
He went slowly down the steps. "Non
ii scordiar di me-" sang Rosamond
John pushed his hat over his eyes and
walked rapidly away.
cit Is well that am not dressed for
calling" he said under his breath, "for
there is no telling what might say

walked on with rapid strides toward
the other end of the town, which was
built on hill. He stopped two OF
three times as II holding parley with
himself; then went on again. Il shall
fight the battle out tonight and have
done with It." he said at last.
The houses at this end Of the town
were cheap affairs. and John stopped
at one Of the poorest. He opened The
gate and went up the brick walk. The
house was all in darkness save for q
light which burned in the little wing

But what would you think of travelling
from Kansas City to Los Angeles for one

lines had q little passenger war. Local
travel was rather light and through rates
were cut to pieces. Down, down they
went, until for sew eral weeks dollar
