His powdered wig was tied back with a black ribbon. and through the black mask that hid his features black eyes flashed inquiringly. His skin was bronzed from exposure. and the fine, well muscled hand he extended was brown and capable.
 For once Virginia was voiceless. She extended her card. and the stranger deliberately filled in all the vacant spaces. Then he returned 1t with a low bow and murmured word of thanks and disappeared.
 How impertinent! muttered Miss Roswell as she scanned the card indig- nantly.
 She waltzed and rested and waItzed again several times before the stranger came to claim her. The waltz that the harp and violins were throbbing was an old, old one, a familiar melody that the dancers caught up and hummed in tunefuI unison as they danced, and Virginia in the very ecstasy of her happiness and glow of youth forgot all about the impertinence of the stranger and sang in low. rich cOntralto aa

Hou Euerx Man Should Vote.
6y Arthur L BupdiCk

How Every Man Should Vote.
 Anybody who doesn't vote my way is a darned foolr' exclaimed little man on an outbound trolley car.
 "What's that?" asked a big man, turning around in his seat and looking back.
 Anybody who doesn't vote my way is a darned fool!'' repeated the little man.
 Did I understand you aright?' asked the big man, rising from his seat and coming back to the rear of the car where the little man was seat ed.
 The little man looked the big man over, but he was game and said once more, Anybody who doesn't vote my way is a darned fool!' .."
 'Hold on a minute said the big man, who seemed on the point of starting something. First tell me which way you are going to vote"
 A foxy gleam shot into the eyes of the little man, and he piped as daunt- lessly as ever, "Pm going to vote any way I darned please"-Birmingham Age Herald.

Il hope not, for Il could not recognize him en masque and l might dance with him. That would be horribIev' Miss Roswell shuddered at this awful possibility.
 When the civil war had drawn all southerners together to fight for a common cause the Roswell-Howard feud grew less fierce. Since the war the depleted families had died out, and now i'll the year of our Lord 1905 there remained but one representa- tive of each family to perpetuate the feud.

 She went submissively. There was something in the air and manner of the man that attracted Virginia Ros- we'll. He had manner of authority that compelled her, who had never submitted to authority, to follow his lead meekly. yet rebelliously. ..
 He found her a seat beneath cun- ningly contrived arbor of jasmine and climbing roses, The distant music of the orchestra seemed to stir the quiet leaves. They were quite alone. The dancers had trooped to the supper room.

Young man, l had decided upon your immediate discharge. One big redeeming trait of your character as just now revealed restraints me. Your loyalty is all that saves you. Stick up for your house every time. A salesman's five cardinal points are loyalty, enthusiasm, hard work, per sistence and tact. You have much of the first four and none of the last Smooth yourself down. You talked to the lumber company man at the wrong time When he said he was too busy you should have smiled and got out.
