stead of you" no matter how many
times 1t occurred in sentence. and he
called AlzOra dear child" He took
her to the theater once week and
brought her candy.
You're perfect wonder" Carrie
told her, enviously. "It's because you're
so pretty Coping out a swell one
like that the first thing Wouldn't he
howl at Gus? All, my! Think of Gus
and Mr.. Hatton."
Alzora laughed, but she felt ashamed
Of herself because she remembered that
look In Gus eyes, but she dreamed
roseate dreams as to what she would
do when she was Mrs. Hatton. 1t
meant six-room fiat at least and
girl and a new tailor suit twice a year
and gloves to match, always.
When Gus wrote she put his letters
aside and neglected to answer them.
She could think of nothing to say.
1t was quite by accident one day that
Alzora went into the stockroom Just be-
fore closing time and across the room
saw Mr.. Hatton seize small boy in
overalls who had stumbled against
him. He shook the boy violently, cuffed
his ears and swore at Elm, then in his
hurry stumbled over a box and swore
some more. His face was black and
ugly He flushed as he met Alzora and
then his countenance cleared magically.
He was suave, polite and majestic as
usual when he spoke to her.
"Are you going to be at home this
EVENING"" he asked. His very presence
dared her to remember him as he had
been two minutes before.
"No, II shan't be home tonight"
Alzora heard herself stammering as she
turned and fed.
She felt of a sudden very homesicl1
and afraid and disillusioned. What
would it be to have ones husband lool,
at one that way when he was ANNOYED
or speak that way?
For long time Alzora sat in the
dark at her window thinking that night
and then she turned up the gas and.
getting out Gus letters, sat down and
answered them. 1t was almost as
good as talking to him.-Chicago Daily
News.

When Alzora Dunn had shaken the
dust Of Brattleville from her feet
literally. for it was hot, dry summer
and departed for Chicago, Gus Mitch
ell of course had been at the railroad
station to see her off.
Brattleville boasted only 700 inhabit-
ants and the celluloid collar was still
regarded with favor in it's society cir
cles. Around his celluloid collar Gus
wore a narrow black string tie with
crumpled ends and there was a photo
graph button Of Alzora in the lapel Of
his coat. He also had abalone shell
cuff links. In spite Of this he had a
good, square jaw and look in his
eyes that woman could trust. He
had heroic smile on his face as he
crushed Alzora's fingers at parting.
you're sure, Zory?" he asked, a
trifie TREMENDOUSLY. "There isn't any
hope for me? You don't care"
For an instant Alzora Dunn, her yel-
low hair shining in the sun, her pretty
frivolous face pink with the excitement
of her departure, felt a sudden qualm.
Ever since she could remember Gus
had tagged around after her. OF
course she liked him-but marry him,
never!

at him. He had felt she cared for him
and it came hard.
Alzora rarely thought of Gus the first
few weeks in Chicago. The newness,
the excitement, the rush dominated her
entirely, and underneath ran the cur
rent Of expectation. Hadn't a girl at
the white goods counter upstairs mar
ried only the previous week travelling
man who made $1,000 a year. There
were six in Alzora's family and never
had her fathers income exceeded $780,
Only two-and $1,000 each to spend .
Not that Alzora was distinctly mer-
cenary but such things were like fairy
tales to her.
1t was not long before the fioorwalk-
er in her department began finding that
the best vantage point for him was
near Alzora's counter. At first it made
her nervous, for the girls stood rather
in awe Of him. Then her coquetry as
serted itself when she found nine times
out of ten that If she looked up he
was looking at her.
Gee. Hatton's struck isn't he?"
Carrie said to her at last. "Never no
ticed a girl before-too stuck-up for us
He can't keep his eyes off you!"
AlZora blushed. Hatton was very

During the current fiscal year, which
began with July, the Department Of
Agriculture will expend fifteen million
dollars. When one compares this sum
with four million dollars which was
spent in 1902, one gets an idea of the
rate at which this department is grow
ing. With the possible exception Of
the Postoflice Department, no other de.
partment comes so near to the people,
and none touches the ordinary citizen
on so many sides. The forestry serv-
ice, the bureau Of animal industry, the
testing of foods, the study and predic-
ton of the weather, the development
Of new plants, the building OF roads,
the crop reports-these are only a few
of the many ways in which this depart
ment is helping the people of the whole
country. One item Of ten thousand dol
lars to be spent this year may result In

The Wall street evils Of which the
public complains are not in morals, but
in economies. If the stock exchange
were simply a place where LOO brok.
ers matched dollars among themselve;
the community at large would not be
affected. But what the stock exchange
does is to gamble with the capital and
resources Of the United States, to fix,
as at present, rates of interest artifi-
cially low in order to boom stock prices,
and at other times to bid interest rates
to absurd heights, to the injury of
commerce and industry. Its demoral.
izing effects come from the fluid capital
of the United States being used for
gambling purposes and taken from
legitimate industry. The morals of
Wall street, whether by day or night,
are matters of little more public in.
terest than the personal habits of book.

got introduced and called upon her she
