Rogers. from his favorite seat on the
woodbox beside the stove. Abby told
the whole story.

would raise the roof and make an at.

went straight on, breathlessly, al
though her father did not look up.
There's a hundred dollars of my
school money that I've saved, and I
want you and Uncle Horace to give
the rest"
Hiram Rogers arose slowly and went
towards the door. His wife called him
anxiously, as II she expected him to
have stroke then and there. He
went on without word and shut the
door behind him. But it opened again
after a moment.

a paper in her pocket-a musty, yell
lowed paper that second cousin Mi
randy Slocomb had found in her hus-
bands old secretary.
Abby, watching, as she did every
night, saw the stage stop at Aunt Sc
liny's, and flew down over the orchard
slope. Aunt Selny was standing stock
still in the road blinking in amaze
ment at the pretty dormer window that
shone in the sunset light above her
door.
Abby appeared before her, flushed
and breathless.
Il felt sorry for the mischief I
did-throwing out your--your attic"
she stammered. "And-and father and
Uncle Hiram helped me to build the
new one"
Aunt Seliny stared at her fixedly,
amazedly. Then suddenly her hard
face quivered and broke like winter
pool in the sun.
II have wanted an attic terribly"
she said. my old things"
They're all safe up in our attic.

TREATMENT INDUCED A CHILL.
Remedy Given In Hospital Tent MUST
Have Been Pleasant.

The captain tells story which runs
something like this: In camp one
morning the first sergeant reported
that Private B. had a chill. rs It
a serious one?" asked the captain.
We'll. sir, don't know just how seri-
GUS 1t is, but it's a big one, for II
seems to be all over him, and he
weighs 200 pounds. On seeing him
the captain found him looking rather
blue, and instructed the first sergeant
to send him to the surgeon in charge
OF corporal.
Soon after breakfast the captain
saw the corporal and asked him how
the man was getting on. ooh, he's
all right now" was the reply, 81 took
him up to the hospital tent, and when
saw what kind of medicine the doc
or gave him had a chill too."-Army

There Is a great gain In time in sell.
Ing without a chart. A man will then
step up and ask for n good seat"
about a certain place. Running
through his lists, the seller finds him
something very near there, and he Is
satisfied. That one man Is finished In
a few seconds. 1t would take minutes
II the sheets We're there. Time IL i'm
portant when the orchestra Is playing
and the curtain about to go up.
Still further, the absence Of a chart
enables the seller to dress his house.
provided the sale is light. and t. keep
out singles" If 1t is heavy. Singles"
are seats left alone when the adjoining
pairs have been selected from n chart.
"Singles" are hard to sell because very
few persons attend a theater alone. AL
most all seats are sold In pairs. A
treasurer with a bunch Of singles on
his hands, eve with II house threaten
Ing to sell out, Is 'up against It," for
often he will lose sales that would
have meant capacity but for the fact
that he annot place a couple In ad-
Joining seats. though he may have sew
eral odd ones left.
Dressing" q house Is the avoidance
Of this condition In one sense, but it
applies to light houses generally. When
a show Is not doing well It IL up to the
box office to make the house look full
ever though 1t be only partly solid.
He does this by scattering the crowd.
Instead of selling II section solid and
leaving adjoining sections vacant he
sells n few here. a few there, ana thus
the empty spaces are not concentrated.
Men usually dress a house from the
center out. They will sell II good part
OF the center section, scattering, and
then will work out on the left and
right. This is because seats on the ex-
IRENE edge OF the house are not so
good. and people expect them to be va
cant except In a heavy house anyhow

knows his house like a book, and he
knows early in the day whether or not
he will have q crowd. Hence he acts

comedy or vaudeville. Now. most lie
think they know what they are going
to get when they visit a theater, and
they especially have the price fixed In
their minds. Perhaps. psychologlcally
speaking, they are stronger minded
than the house treasurer. Then they
do get what they want, and he never
questions 1t. But the average hlan Is
not. The treasurer IL trained In ticket
selling. 1t is his daily routine. while
1t Is an occasional act on the mans
part. Hence he Is fortified for the pub
lie, and the latter Is not for him, and
so when the people step up, especially
II 1t Is rather lGte and there IL some
thing of q rush, a clever ticket man
can easily get the extra price out of
them for Il higher selling seat.
How does he do It? Largely by the
power Of suggestion. He implies that
you want it, for instance, when you &C
up. In other words, he puts the ques-
ton as to what priced seat by asking
you about the higher mes before he
mentions the lower ones, and when he
does refer to the latter, at your sugges-
ton, he does 1t rather alphabetically.
He has the higher rate tickets In his
hand, and II you do not take them he
reaches to the rack for the others, and
all the time the line is waiting, those
back Of you are scowling, II not max
Ing remarks. and every n within ear
shot of the window knows that you
have refused the higher seats for the
lower priced ones. This is embarrass-
Ing. Especially is 1t so II a girl Is with
you, waiting just outside the rail that
separates the mob from the line, and
the chances are 10 to / that you will
take the cue, Involuntary, and pay a
quarter more, when you had no inten-
ton of doing SO when you approached
the clever man In the box.
That Is one way. 1t doesn't require
any f%alsehood. 1t does require a good
knowledge of human nature. Some men
wouldn't "stand for" that. They would
be offended, and 1t might hurt the
house. That is for the treasurer to
beware. lie must Size up" his Gus
