There was no sentiment in the
selection of Miss Whitehead as a
deputy prosecutor by George f.
Vanderveer, prosecuting attorney
elect of King county. For several
years Miss Whitehead, who is
graduate of the University of
Washington law school, has been
head clerk in the prosecuting at
torneys office and has proven her
ability to such an extent that
many of the complaints have been
drawn by her without supervision
from any member of the staff, and
the routine business of the office
handled with no trouble to her
chief.
1t was in the prosecution of a
cruelty to animals case that Miss
Whitehead proved her ability in
court, handling the case with con-
vincing directness and easily OBJ
tanning conviction.
So Miss Whitehead has been Sc
lected to handle line of criminal
cases which will be assigned to her
and will be on an equal footing
with the other deputies, having
the power to draw and sign com
plants and follow them with prose
cutions in court.
Miss Whitehead is an attractive
young woman of a prominent Seat
tie family and has lost none of her
feminine charm through her work.
She has asked no consideration on
the score of her sex, and it is that
attitude which has led to substan.
tial recognition of her ability and
services from the new prosecuting
attorney.

THE SYMPATHETIC LADY.

Her number was 26, on a nickel
plated shield, attached to her
snowy apron, and she was the fast
est, the neatest, the politest-and,
by a thousand points, the prettiest
of all the hundred mattresses in the
Coupon cafe. Soulful, brown eyes
had Celestine, and often the bank
ers and brokers, falling afoul of
them, let their steak and onions
grow cold.
The first time that young Hawley
came into the gilded Coupon Celes-
tine saw that he possessed roman
tic hair-that is, it was twO-thirds
coal black and one-third iron gray,
and Celestine put the romance in
for herself She had way of mix
ing romance and glamour with
mushrooms and froglegs anyhow.
Young Hawley jabbered, "P. &
O.-caught short-67 ss-feverish
market" to an older man, and Ce-
lestine knew by this that he must
be worth a million dollars at least.
Otis Hawley did not see Celestine
at all.
But the next time he came he
saw. and almost asked her name;
Celestine saw that his knife and
his fork were the shiniest silver
that ever shone. He was in SPLEEN
did spirits this time and slapped
his companion on the back with a
remark about Schenectady going to
go right up through the lid. The
girl did not quite understand, but
she took it to mean that the man
with the romance hair was going to
make five million more dollars, like
the rest of the great men around
her did every day.
Then on his third visit to Celes-
tines spick and span table, Hawley
did ask her name. He was troubled,
she could see; and she handed him
great big lot of sympathy mixed
in with his pork and beans. Haw-
ley seemed to understand, too, and
it soothed him.
You are a good girl, Celestine,
She nodded gravely, with no
thought that he was impertinent,
II wish you'd go look at the bears
with those great, Mary Magdalen
eyes" he said, gently. Il think
they'd let up on my poor, little
Schenectady"
Celestine laughed gaily. She
knew he did not bean the bears ii

the gilded millionaires talk beai
and bull stuff every day. 1t was

saw that his place was held. There
were days when he dubbed joke'

he was downcast and had very lit

she, a plod-plod waiting girl, with

But, oh, the sympathy for his dark

her fish-,a wild wish to get the trout
seized her; if only to show him that

as she fought carefully, glad of the
sport, the lonely lake, the quiet. gray
