MARY McCANN'S ASSISTANT
By LoRA GOODRICH

Although 1t had two bulging win. dows, that peered out like a pair of short-sighted eyes from under the faded flap of awning. the little shop was rather dark within It was a very little shop, indeed, tucked in between two large buildings. yet because it chanced to have that particular loca. tion a good many persons entered if in the course of the day
 It was kept by pale, big-eyed lit. tie woman who said little, but tried to make mp for her lack of words by a sociable smile. She was a very tinoid woman, who never should have tried have had to if her husband had not lost both his legs and his job of brak ing at the same time in a railroad ac cident
 Marean had fallen into the habit of slipping in there every morning on his way to his office for paper or mag azine.
 Marean was voung lawyer strug gling into practice He had grit and vim and humor he liked his fellow man better than he liked himself and gave him the best of his knowledge
 But he did not intend to be poor; he intended to succeed and to win hi share, of fortune by his wits Hitherto he had not found time nor felt in 2 position to consider marriage. but nov he had begun to look for the rigbi woman, He had very clear idea o' the kind of woman he wanted. but h. was certain that she was not to bf found among his acquaintances. Tbe sisters and daughters of his colleagues given as they were to the spending much money and frivolous habits gen erally would not. he knew. make goo6 wives for men who were bound fol some years to go very carefully.
 Marean did not talk about his idea concerning marriage to bis friends; h. did not talk about anything that Ia closest to his heart Close -mouthed they called him. but "rattling goo fellow which last Is the highest com pliment that can be paid from man t. man.

a handsome one. His eyes were clear. his color good, his teeth perfect When he looked at you, you trusted him. when he smiled at you, you all bui loved him.
 A heavy rair caught him one morn ing on his way to his office. As he chanced to be near the little news store, he hurried in with the two-fold purpose of getting his paper and be ing sheltered until the storm should lessen The bell above the door tangled pleasantly as he entered. Al the farther end of the store woman sat at the desk writing. She appar ently finished sentence before she rose and came toward him. Then hd saw that she was not the woman he had expected to find there. The pale little proprietress had been replaced by girl midway of the twenties. 8 tall girl with very direct eyes, a good color and smooth brown hair. She wore a dark skirt and a simple shirt waist, faultlessly laundered.
 Good morning." she said. Her voice was cheerful as well suited to the rainy dark spring morning as a robins song
 Marean selected a paper. paid for II and made a remark about the weather
 After that the girl was always tend ing shop when Marean stopped for his morning paper. Always she wore the dark skirt and apparently the same exquisitely laundered waist; always her voice was cheerful, her smile bright. Marean began to notice things about her Clearly she was an unusual tyne. most unlike the ordinary shop girl. One morning he asked her what had become of the McCanns that they were no longer in the store.

Oh it Is not a real illness, though it makes Danny just as helpless.

Not long ago the late candidate for governor defended a participant in a shooting scrape at Fossil and a material point in the case hinged upon the testimony of an aged Tennesseean.
 Where were you when this shot was fred?" queried counsel for the defense
 q were about ten feet behint the feller what got shot,"
 And were you there when the mar shal arrived?"
 No. sah; I want nowhere nigh the place"
 You must have travelled pretty fast" suggested MT Bowerman.
