TEssIE THE WAITRESS.
The Reason That Faithful No. 12
 Took a Day On.

Took Day On.
 Like the fated duchess in Brown ing's poem, Tessie smiled upon all men, No matter how intricate the order or how many times you sent things back, she never grumbled There was al- ways struggle to get a seat at her table The boys" who regularly gath cred in the downtown restaurant at half past 12 would wait fifteen min. utes for the privilege of being served by Tessie. They joked her a good deal and always were rewarded by a fash ing smile and twinkle of the eye, a bit of repartee or perhaps a little ex- tra attention to their order But nev- CT did one of them presume upon her friendliness and bon camaraderie to Oveystep the very certain line which she had drawn between herself and those whom she served. She was young, piquant and pretty, but she 'mothered" them all, and, no matter how tenderly she might ask if the eggs were just right or the coffee hot they knew that 1t was useless to misinter- pret that "mothering"
 Tessie stayed in the downtown lunch room just three years. From the day she came the managers discerning eye discovered prize in her, and from the ladies table she was promoted to one where masculinity and tips were more frequent. If waitress were absent, Tessie was always given the extra" table to serve, and she never complain ed. Tessie was never tardy, never too i'll to work, never distrait or care less. Tirelessly she went up and down with her arms full of dishes and food. "The boys used to speculate sometimes upon Tessie's matrimonial possibilities and hazard guesses as to what they would do when some fellow carried her off to wait on himself ex- clusively. But in time she became such fixture that they ceased wonder Ing why such pretty girl was forced to work in a quick lunch room and gave up the thought that she would ever marry at all.
 That is why they were very much surprised one day when they arrived to find no Tessie. AEother waitress tried to take her place but nobody got what he wanted, and nothing went right. They had been so used to de- pending upon TeSsie's suggestions and her memory that the new waitress had a hard time of it. Finally in a fit of the grouch one of the boys called the manager over.
 Say" he demanded, where's Tes- sie?"
 The manager lifted his eyebrows po- litely.
 ''Tessie?" he began. "Oh, you mean No. 12 She will be back tomorrow"
 The next morning Tessie appeared as usual. The crowd of young clerks greeted her with whoop
 "Where have you been?' they de- manded
 Tessie looked at them for moment. Her fingers gripped the edge of the table, and two big tears rose to her eyes.
 "I-I stayed home yesterday" she said chokingly, toto go to my hus- bands funeral"
 The clerks looked at one another blankly.
 "Your husbandr' exclaimed some body.
 "Yes," said Tessie simply. He's dead. He had been ill three years consumption" And then she hurried away to the kitchen to give her orders and wipe her tear stained face.-New York Press
