Without waiting for a reply he bade
her ceremonious good night and
hurried away.
The girl watched him with an ex-
pressionless face. But when the door
had closed behind him she hurried to
her room and sobbed-much more
bitterly than the mere loss of a posi-
ton justified, although that was
serious enough.
That she could not remain with the
firm was a decision that she made
without argument Indeed. she hest
tated next morning as to whether she
should go to the ONCE at all or merely
write surrendering her post.
Her sense of duty conquered. When
she appeared Dick Brownlow did not
attempt TO help her off with her veil
and coat. as he had tried before In
stead, he merely said Good morn
ing" politely and turned to his desk
again.
Presently he stepped to her side and
began to dictate. When she was done
he hesitated and said:

Six months afterwards the Son of
Brownlow & Son entered the private
Office of the head Of the firm and said:

WEEKLY SHORT STORY
MISS MILLS AND DICK.
BY Anita Wentworth.


The name of the firm was Brown
low & Son, but every one knew Dick
Brownlow knew that the "old man"
had taken him in without too many
hopes of making a business man of
him. Dick was % years old. He had
been squeezed through college and
made many trips abroad. He was a
member Of three clubs, and II had cost
his father $4,000 to get him to his
present point in life.
He was Just recovering Prom a
hilarious smashup in an auto, and was
feeling a bit repentant when his father
announced the partnership and in
duced him to make certain resolves
Dick had been using the office as
a sort of "hangout" for two or three
months, and had at last advanced in
the business world to the point where
he could acknowledge an order by
mail and almost blum the old office
manager, and other employees.
Then the older Brownlow decided
that the son ought to have a stenogra-
pher all to himself, and an adver-
tisement was accordingly inserted.
There were forty-nine answers, and it
was for Dick to peruse them and
make up his mind which applicant
to take.
He had five of them call at the Office,
and chose Miss Mills because she was
the best looking of the lot. 1t was
Dicks idea that good looks formed the
basis Of stenography and typewriting.
His father didn't agree with him, but
he did not wish to introduce any
argument into the partnership that
might strain the young mans brain.
So Miss Mills appeared on a cerain
Monday morning and began her work.
Although he was the junior part
ner, Dick determined at once to prove
to her that he not only acknowledged
her right to live, but that he was
rather glad she was alive.
That afternoon the son of Brown
low & Son dictated two letters and
spent the rest of the time in patron
izing his stenographer. He asked
many questions and related some of
his adventures.
1t was thus that he sought to con-
vey the idea that stenography, while
looked at in a business way by some,
had social side. to his mind.
When noon came he felt that he hid

SUMNER BREAKFAST CEREALS.

Asponge should not be used in bath
ing a child for it is impossible to keep
a sponge clean, even with numerous
boilings, and besides, it ruins a sponge
to boil. Ideal wash cloths for baby's
tender body are made of old and worn
table napkins. Cheesecloth is excellent
also for baby's wash cloths on account
of the softness of its texture
All wash cloths should be boiled

The flowers will last longer than when

long-stemmed flowers could not be

SALOONS DARK BY
|. ORDER Of MAYOR
Some Failed to put Blinds up But will
Be Forced to Obey Edict-Makes
Business For Furniture Mer-
Stock Nearly All Sold

BY Mayor Parsons order, chief of
police Egan has notified every sa-
loon keeper in the city that they
will be required to SO thoroughly
shut cut the lights from the front of
their saloon that they will appear as
though closed, from Saturday night
at IL O'Clock until Sunday midnight
The order was given few days
ago and most OF the saloon keepers
have oheyed but some have not.
Chief Egan will see taat all are
treated alike.
w. B, HALEY. manager at Rhodes
Burford Furniture Company says
that owing to the heavy demand for
blinds Saturday. owing to TIE
Mayors edict, the stores In Cairo
were about depleted and it may BE-
that this is the reason why some Of
the saloon men have not placed cur
tains behind their doors sad
windows.
The great variety and color OF
blinds and curtains used in the sixty
odd saloons of Cairo to fulfll the re-
quiremepts of the order. is a mattcr
OF comment and also proves that the
dealers in blinds must have sold out
everything they had in stock.
ban has also been placed on all
illuminated signs, which have here
tofore been lighted by many saloon
Keepers on Sundays. Several saloon
Keepers also disobeyed this order. but
they will not do so often
The idea the mayor wishes to inn
press upon the saloon keepers is that
they must darken the doors. windows
and trancunn that the passer by at
casual glance will not be aware
that the saloon is doing business on
Sunday.
