5rhn W. Gates has sworn of tipping

he nay give tip to an extra good

happened this way:
A matter of a hundred or more let

in the habit of giving 25 cents per let
ter or telegram wsen delivered to his
room or in any part of the hotel by a

81 never gave much thought to what
this habit cost me-, said Mr.. Gates,
but I guess have been 'stung' to a
very nice extent"
The bellboys at the Waldorf and
Plaza, where Mr.. Gates has made his
headquarters, discovered this 25-cent
habit Perhaps several letters would
arrive at one time The bellboys would
Stamp them at intervals of one or two
Iunutes apart, and long line of boys
wnuid keep busy making their way to

meant a new quarter.

number of kilograms 1t so happened
that one arriving at 11:55 did not
reach him until 1;O5. 1t was dated at
noon.
Mr.. Gates was just bit provoked
and started an investigation. Then he
discovered that his letters and tele-

was TO be given notice tomorrow
mornin'," she announced, firmly, will
/ ever consent to be a party to such
goiz's-on another night"
There win be no occasion. Annie"
said the girl. Thank you. and-good
night"
A resigned sIgh-"Good night, Miss
Sylvia"-followed her up the stairs.
She went very cautiously, careful to
brush against no article Of movable
furniture in the halls, at pains to make
20 noise on the stairs. At the door OK
her fathers room on the second floor
she stopped and listened for full mo
ment; but he was sleeping as quietly,
as soundly, as the servant had de-
clared. Then on, more hurriedly, up
another fight, to her own room, where
she turned on the electric bulb in
panic haste For it had just occurred
to her that the telephone bell might
ring before she could change her cloth
ing and get downstairs and shut her
self into the library, whose closed door
would prevent the bell from being
audible through the house.
In less than ten minutes she was
stealing silently down to the drawing
room floor again, quiet as a spirit OF
the night The library door shut with
out a sound; for the first time she
breathed freely. Then, pressing the
button on the wall, she switched on
the light in the drop-lamp on the CEN
ter table The telephone stood be-
side it.
She drew up a chair and sat down
near the instrument. ready to lift the
receiver OF its hook the instant the
bell began to sound; and waited, the
soft light burning in the Ioosened
tresses of her hair, enhancing the soft
color that pulsed in her cheeks, fading
before the joy that lived in her eyes
when she hoped.
For she dared hope-at times; and
at times could not but fear. So greatly
had she dared, who greatly loved, SO
