The masher saw. He was an OF.

the Kid might know him.
The second masher appeared. He
was not as bold as the first. He was
going to follow the little stenographer
and see where she lived. On car or
subway he might find excuse to ad-
dress her. The Kid passed his bundle
of papers to boy friend and fol
lowed the follower. He entered the
subway and took seat beside the
girl. He slipped into it just second
ahead of the masher and got scoWl
and curse for his action. 1t was a
long time before the little stenog-
rapher looked up and recognized him,
and then she uttered a little laugn
and the exclamation:

here"
ITS business, ma'am," he replied,
looking as important as he could.
She talked with him In a chatty,
friendly way, and when far up In the

Fattening Animals.

should be to show of the flowers

therefore the simpler ones are far

flowers arranged In them.
