SHE KEPT THAT SECRET

THEY were discussing that old. old accusa-
ton against woman that she cannot keep
secret Miss Mary S. Anthony. sister of the
famous Susan B. Anthony, had listened atten-
lively to the discussion; then at last she said;
"a woman can keep an important secret as
we'll as a man. The secrets she reveals are
slight and harmless ones such as any man
would reveal. Where is the woman who ever
tells a secret that reflects on her husband or her
own children?
Il know a man who one day refused to tell
his wife the outcome of business transaction,
in which, quite naturally, she took deep in
terest."
"'No' he sneered when she asked him about
it. L won't tell you. If did, you'd repeat it.
You women make me tired; you can never keep
a secret
"Roger, old fellow replied the wife in
quiet even tones, have l ever told the secret
about the solitaire engagement ring you gave
me eighteen years ago being pastel
And then he told her all about that business
transaction. and he did not omit single tiny
detail, either"

months. One man in the slowly moving line
however, appeared not to be taking it to heart.
He was red haired, massively thewed giant
and the grin on his broad face would have
served as model for laughing gargoyle Occa-
sionaly, as he neared the pay-off point he exc
cuted rather nifty jigstep or two with his
handy big brogans, whistling to himself little
Snatches OF an accompaniment. The Anaconda
superintendent. who himself had made out the
list of the men to be laid off studied the moves
of the red haired one with a smile of his own
