on Sunday evening, Sept. 16, she would
marry William Thober, who is In the

prised when messages announced later
that they were to be on hand a day
earlier. Thober at the same time was
summoned from Trenton.
There were flowers, many guests and
the Rev. II. A. C. Meyer of st. Jacobs

appeared happy and chatted with Miss
Macdonald enthusiastically.
Not long after his arrival a pale
faced girl. accompanied by yelled
woman In black, was admitted to the
house and ushered into a rear room.
Out in the parlor Thober was laugh
ing and joking with a group Of men

PROPOSES
BY BEATRICE sTvRCEs
Copyright, 1900, by r. q. Eastment

For the first two years after she en-.
tered Stuart Lees Office as stenogra-
pher Miss Atherton's desk was placed
NO that every time she glanced up she
saw the back OF his head. This oft
recurring incident, coupled with the
fact that II was very good looking
head, well 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 traverscd the
same hall. to watch for his smile Of
greeting and to listen to his cheery
Good morning as he took of his hat
and rolled up the cover OF bis 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 Lee was lawyer and had
.,ent all his young efforts 80 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
stcnographer 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
millar 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 II.
Sometimes Lee gave her dictations
that would take up an hour or more
and then he would make her rest BIZ
and chat with him before she started

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 a summer suit or whether
he looked fit to make a call without
getting his hair cut, and he would
sometimes lay case before her to get
another point of view.
To all of these friendly manifesto
tions 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 sweeping realiza-
tlon 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 a long time
before a 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, Il don't know what
! would do without her"
The other laughed and responded;
"Well, 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 1t some way" as he closed his
desk with bang, and as they passed
out the door she heard the friend
laugh again and say, do 1t 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

Separate the sheep" and the Goats. I"

Some of the old fashioned country
churches have custom of separating
the "sheep" from the goats" seat
ing the men on one side of the church
and the women on the other. If the
women continue to wear these picture
hats in church we propose to head a
petition that this custom be adopted
in Oelwein churches. With the men on
one side of the church and the
women on the other, the men would
not care a continental whether the
women wore balloon hats or not; it
would be up to the women alone.
Say, what a flower garden there would
be on the ladies' side of the sacred
edifice! And then the men would
have an unobstructed view of the
pastor as he discourses on righteous
ness. -Oelwein Register.
