charming young woman whom met last summer
at Asbury Park
Slobe shifted at the scented paper while the four
young clerks and Miss MacLear exchanged
glances of wide eyed wonderment. The note asks

placed his in the rack, paid the marker tor the
lost game and slowly walked down the stairway
which leads from the Empire Billiard Hall to Broad
way Once in the street, he searched with much
deliberaton the various OF his clothes and
discovered that his financial assets consisted OF
exactly eight cents With hands stuck deep in his
overcoat pockets he looked up and down the busy
thoroughfare
The night was still young; crowds passing
into the warmly lit theater Hobbies; hansoms and
cabs were dashing along filled with men in evening
dress and good looking women in their hlmy, light
colored tinery yellow surface cars, packed to the
DOORS joted their way slowly through the maze of
the faster moving traffic. The lights from the shop
windows the perpendicular electric signs the high
hanging white street lamps, filled the highway with
a blaze of light and, to the eyes of young Slobe at
least this orange glare showed only smiling faces
and eyes that sparkled with expectancy OF the
pleasures to come.
1t really seemed at the moment, as if all the
world had the inclination and the wherewithal for
good time; that is all the world except H. Alger-
non Slobe. The young man Jlngled the eight cents
in his pocket and started slowly along the crowded
street. If in the past Slobe had devoted more OF
his evenings to reading modern ideas, rather than
to the Empire Billiard Hall and similar resorts, his
thoughts would doubt have been somewhat
socialistic but as it was, they were purely ph1o-
sophie, and so when he pushed or Jostled out
of his logical line of march, he only smiled back into
the smiling faces of the happy men and women
who were hurrying to their pleasures.
Slowly he walked in the direction OF his boarding
house, far the west side OF 47th-st. During
this evening stroll his thoughts censured him sorely
for certain personal failure OF attainment. had
his steps led him along Madison-ave for instance,
he would have gazed up at the forbidding fronts OF
the houses of the truly rich he could have passed
under an awning, which denoted that some one
was giving party without one twlnge OF regret:
His ambitions were not in the line of great social
position; but the lights from the theater doorways,
and the open windows of the great restaurants OF
Broadway repeatedly chided him for his lack OF
funds Greatly he enved the young in the

wav; greatly, too, he envied that other young man
he indistinctly through the lace curtains OF a
restaurant dining at little table with beautiful
young woman, their faces shaded by pink lamp
shade.
To young Slobe here was life, the life of great
CITY, and which for the moment seemed quite un-
attainabe. And it was not as if these sweets had
always been dangling before his eyes and just beyond
his reach he had not always gazed at these delights
through plate-gla window. For on no less than
two occasions had he dipped into the very mael
strom of this high hfe-twice he had mingled in
tmately with these spendthrit roysterers, although
on both occasions, it must be confessed, he had
keenly felt that he was only with and not of them.
Once he had supped after the play at Martins and
another time at Rector's, and not only had he
were at their BEST but he believed at the time and
still did believe that he had looked and played the
part handsomely Not only had he been properly
dressed, but he was on both occasions accompanied
by companion whose rosy beauty and innocent
charm of manner had to all appearances, done much
to cheer the jaded spirits of the dull scared, and
baggy faces of those who were fortunate enough to
sit in her immediate neighborhood.
He had chosen Miss Nellie MacLear his side
partner on these occasions, not so much for any
selfish personal regard for the for fresh
Irish beauty to which had been added couture
which rivaled that of Miss Adele Richie and gait
and general carriage of form closely resembling
those of Miss Ethel Barrymore. Miss MacLear was,
in fact, about the only young woman he knew
sufficiently well to invite such outing, and in
addition to this they were fellow employees in the
manifold department of a railroad, which had its
general offices Cortlandt-St.
For at least two years they had worked at adj
joining DESKS and during the dull there had
been ample time to discover that their views of
life, and the way it should be lived, wel-nigh
identical. Although, in order to avoid gossip they
usually left their Office at different moments

about the pool table, and remarked that
he had had enough. Then he carefully

out hesitation, borrowed sufficient
change from Miss MacLear to pay
for his part of the luncheon.
There are few things more diff
cult of accomplishment than lead
ing high-class rakish life in New
York city on a salary of seventy
five dollars month. Therefore, if
Miss MacLear and the other four
fellow workers in the manifold
department wanted to be RECALLED
with tales of high life on upper
Broadway, it was only natural that
they should be expected to render
young Slobe some slight assistance
in collecting his facts. The debt to
the office force had now reached the
rather munificent sum of eighty
seven dollars, and on this par
ticular night, with the total assets
of the young clerk at eight cents,
the burden seemed a little more
weighty than usual. For Slobe, in a
friendly sort of a way, was really
attached to Miss MacLear and his
four fellow clerks, and he had al
ways spoken of them as his pre-
ferred creditors" although, as a
matter of fact, he had SO far failed
to obtain credit from anyone else.
Upon entering his boarding
house he found two letters adj
dressed to himself lying on the
bench of the hall mirror. The
writing on the white envelop he
easily recognized, because it was
from his first and most constant
correspondent, his mother. The
letter in the blue envelop he turned
over several times, carefully scru-
tinized the postmarks, and shifted

in his overcoat pocket and climbed
three fights of the staircase he
hated so well, with the frayed
carpet and rickety balusters. Once

MENA A GOOD MARKET TOWN.
Trains of Teams Loaded With Produce Come 40 Miles or More to Find
 Market to Sell and Buy in

A train of wagons about fifteen in number, with about twenty five bales of cotton, arrived early this morning from Odeu, Mont gomery county, a distance from this city of about forty miles. Their cotton was readily sold at fair price, although little off at present, and their wagons loaded with winter supplies, after which they departed for their respective homes.
 Mena can well feel proud of the fact that she has such a wide territory tributary, and the two most important items that hold her up to the standard as being not only the best market but the best and largest city of its age in Western Arkansas, IS the good market values always given, both in buying and selling. Not only are these the main features in the case When country people go to market heavily laden with their home grown products, the good roads also have tendency toward causing them to return. Mena is we'll equipped with all the above, and as the old adage goes, "You can't keep good town down." And Mena is and always has been a good town.
