The Girl in Grey.

"A tIliu ilCIlo ny uTc, OToSSou III d ucoe,
attractive suit of grey, entered the
postoffice at Wayside where had been
sent to transact some business for the
firm of "Towers and Earl"-lawyers.
At the precise moment of her entrance
l was mentally wondering how l could
endure ten days stay in the appar-
emily slow, ont-of-date town. Its pop
ulation was about twelve hundred and
situated along the tracks OF the B. L. E.
R. R. The surrounding country was
of rich soil and the farm produce was
shipped to various places from Wayside.
Thus the town, like this class of towns,
was enabled to exist.
At the time of the year 1 found my
self there, in the month of September,
many travelling men, visitors, and
farmers were idling about as though
business was an unnecessary matter.
But here, in the little postoffice, while
waiting for my mail, while cogitating
on how to spend my leisure hours,
came a tripping, smiling, slip of a girl,
all dressed in grey. Scarcely noticing
my presence she asked for her mail.
The postmaster handed her three let
ters One was small, narrow envelope,
another small. square, blue envelope
evidently from some feminine friend.
The third she held slantingly and it
was addressed, as l could easily see, in
the handwriting of man. AS she
gazed at it seemed to read a happiness
easier felt than explained. Her eyes
sparkled merrily, her rose-petal lips
were parted by smile, showing pearly
teeth with one or two capped with
gold. Her hair WAS of soft texture.
hazel-brown, and nature had endowed
the maid with an abundance. Slowly,
as one whose mind is bent on person
far away, the girl left the office.
Prior to this period I had always
prlded myself with the idea that l. a
bachelor, was one Of the happiest of
mortals. True, there had been mo-
ments in contemplation's bower, when
a companion to share life's strange
ways Was thought of. In the city ]
had my bachelor quarters. There
could spend my leisure hours as
pleased. Not far away were friends
married folks, whose petty outbreaking
of jealousy simply disgusted me.

invented was simple, so simple that
for quarter OF century it has re
manned undiscovered by the world at

to be experts. No man thought that
a free people who had intended to al
low all the equal use of every avenue

was no more complex than that EN-
ployed by the robber of old, who took
the pebbles from the beach, marked
them money, and with the money
bought the labor of his fellows, and
by the manipulation OF that labor and
by turning pebbles into money he
took away from the laborer the
money which he had paid them for
the labor until all in the land were
slaves OF the moneymaker. These few

olives, cereals and cattle. Everything
was done in the least expensive man

formed Tuns from a strictly agricult-
ural to a mining country. These dis

phosphates of Gafsa. Then the sud

the beds of calamine more important.

beds of Galsa the mines of Ain Mou.

have been found. Further north the
mines of laatea-oenam, and OF

large, have been discovered. Five
mines of iron are being worked at
