to work again. At other times he
would ask her advice in the matter Of
an Office boy or as to the choice Of two
samples for summer suit or whether
he looked fit to make a call without
getting his hair cut, and he would
sometimes lay a case before her to get
another point Of view.
To all Of these friendly manifesto
tons she responded gladly, with an in
ward thrill at the. pleasingly intimate
basis on which it seemed to place their
relations.
Then this friendly glow would be
suddenly chilled by a sweeping realiza-
ton Of the fact that she was only his
stenographer and that he probably
talked to her during the day because
there was no one else at hand. Still
there had been times when he impul-
sively called her into his room to watch
a thunderstorm or an unusually beau
tiful sunset across the Hudson and,
standing close beside him at the win
dow, she wondered if he had not felt
some Of the emotion that throbbed in
her own pulses. If he did, however,
he never spoke, and so the most gor-
geous sunset was yelled in a gray
mist for her, and it was long time
before gold lined cloud appeared on
her own horizon.
That was when she overheard frag-
mentary conversation between Lee and
one Of his friends. In reply to some re-
mark Lee had said, 81 don't know what
I would do without her,
The other laughed and responded:
ssWell she's too pretty a girl to spend
her life in an office. Somebody will be
carrying her off some day."
Lees reply ended indistinctly in
"stop it some way" as he closed his
desk with a bang, and as they passed
out the door she heard the friend
laugh again and say, "Do it yourself,
eh?"
From that day she was changed
girl. She moved as one with purpose,
and yet there was a dreamy softness
In her face and manner that seemed to
envelop her as an atmosphere. Lee,
looking at her closely, wondered that
he had not realized how creamy was
her skin, how deep her dark eyes and
how fascinating the gold and copper
lights In her brown hair. Gradually
she told him about herself; that it was
her grandfather who had won GER
tain gallant fight for the Confederacy,
her father who had held an honorable

THE FACE ON THE CENT.
1t rs Not That OF an Indian, but of a
Pretty Little Girl.


Pretty Little Girl.
Mrs. Sarah LOngacre Keen, who liv-
ed and died ia Philadelphia, came
nearer being the queen of the Ameri-
can mint than any woman who ever
lived. With the exception of Queen
Victoria, whose image was engraved
on every coin of the British and In
dian empires, Mrs. Keen was first in
the number OF her metal photographs.
Her face as a girl of twelve summers
is to be seen Gil every American cent
issued since 1886 from Uncle Sans
coin factory.
1t is usually assumed that the face
on the head side of the copper is that
of an Indian, but a close look will re-
veal a Saxon profile. Just borrow
cent and look at it. The setting is that
of an Indian
Between 1923 and 1910 James Bar
ton Longacre was chief engraver in
the United States mint in Philadelphia.
In 1885 a competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was to be issued and
which has since been in service. There
were over a thousand designs offered.
The prize was a good one. LOngacre
racked his brain for some original and
singular design that would strike the
judges, but for months he failed to
satisfy himself
One morning a number Of Indians,
with their chief, who had been to pay
their respects to the great white chief
in Washington, came to the city and
were shown through the mint. They
were introduced to the white chiefs
picture maker, who was just then
showing his young daughter Sarah the
great concern. The old chief was at
tracted by the sweet faced maiden and
her interest in his feathers and paint
She childishly wondered how she
would look in the feathered headgear.
This was told the chief, who solemnly
Invested himself Of his feathers and
had them placed on the girls head.
The effect was SO striking that the
father took time to make a sketch Of
the picture, finishing it afterward for
his own amusement.
At the last moment of the period
given for sending in engravings he be-
thought himself of the possibility of
the combination of Indian feathers
and Saxon sweetness. He got it in,
and much sport was made Of the child
at the time in the city because of the
Incident The sketch passed through
the seventh sitting and finally reached
the last round By one vote it won,
and ever since Sarah Longacre's young
face has served for the humblest Of
coins, than which no single coin in the
world has such tremendous circula-

WOMAN
PROPOSES
BY BEATRICE STURGES
Copyright, 1906, by P. c. EASEMENT

For the first two years after she en-
tered Stuart Lees office as stenOgra-
pher Miss Atherton's desk was placed
so that every time she glanced up she
saw the back Of his head This oft
recurring incident, coupled with the
fact that it was a very good looking
head, we'll set on a pair of stalwart
shoulders, probably had much to do
with the state Of affairs at the end Of
six months. Even in that time she had
learned to distinguish his step from the
dozens of others that traversed the
same hall, to watch for his smile of
greeting and to listen to his CHEEKY
"Good morning" as he took off his hat
and rolled up the cover Of his desk.
Then she would take a good look at
the smoothly brushed yellow hair and
turn again to her work, which consist
ed of copying out long contracts and
other tiresome legal forms.
Stuart Zee was a lawyer and had
bent all his young efforts so hard to-
ward success that 1t was beginning to
come his way. At the end of two years
he took larger offices, allowing himself
the luxurious necessity of private
room. Miss Atherton then had charge
of the large outside room, the second
stenographer and the Office boy. She
saw more people and received more
salary, but she missed the closer com
radeship of the old days and the ia
miliar sight Of a blond head rising
firmly above blue serge shoulders.
She kept on loving him, though, for
the simple feminine reason that she
couldn't help it.
Sometimes Lee gave her dictations
that would take up an hour or more,
and then he would make her rest bit
and chat with him before she started

SPIDERS OF CEYLQN.

Their Golden Webs Will Ensnare
Birds and Lizards.
Far up in the mountains of CeylOn
there is spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
OF which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet. The spider seldom bites
or stings, but should any one try to
catch him bite he will, and, though not
venOmOus, his jaws are as powerful as
a birds beak
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate cOlored fur
So strong are the webs that birds the
size Of larks are frequently caught
therein, and even the small but DOW
erful scaly lizard falls a victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow monster-measur-
ing, when waiting for his prey, with his
legs stretched out, fully six inches
striding across the middle Of the net
and noted the rapid manner in which
he winds his stout threads round the
unfortunate captive.
He usually throws the coils about the
head until the wretched victim is first
blinded and then choked. In many I'M
frequented dark hooks of the jungle
you come across skeletons of small
birds caught in these terrible snares
