For hours the girl a walked
trough the city streets, hot, dusty,
tired, hungry. She sought work, but
could not find it.
EVERYWHERE she was turned away.
They wanted only those who a helu
similar positions, and Virginia, lTeSh
from the country, could claim no
knowledge which would be OF use "

It seemed to her that the tall bulla-

are you doing In town, virginia.?
She told him her little story. The
aunt with whom she had lived had
died, and Virginia was unwilling to De

But 1 can't find work. Billy, she
said.
He was only t~wenty-one but he had

Famous Statesman Broke Down and
Sobbed While Delivering the Eu-
loay on His Friend, Thomas
Rusk of Texas.

General Thomas l.. Clingman, who
from 1S43 to 1858, with the exception
of one term, represented North Caro-
lima in the lower house Of congress
and a a member of the senate when
the Civil war began, resigning that
office to return to North Carolina and
become a Confederate brigadier-gen-
sral. used frequently to revisit Wash
1ngton in the late seventies and early
eighties. He did not ONE upon any
political errand, for he eschewed pol
itics at the close OF the Civil war. He
was an enthusiastic prophet with re-
spect to the mineral wealth of his
state; the first man. in fact, to make
this wealth known. II any n were
willing to chat with him he would sit
by the hou describing the treasures
Of platinum and of precious stones,
even diamonds, which he was sure
were within the bowels Of the North
Caroline mountains. Notwithstanding
his snow-white beard and the wrinkles
which time had left on his face, he
seemed to be mentally as active as
ever, and there was no faltering in his
step.
o all the great statesmen Of the
North that | have known" once said
General Clingman to me. the n |

made his acquaintance before | en-
tered the senate, and that acquaint-
ance, in due time, ripened into some
thing like friendship. Did o know
that, in Stewards time. there vas no
northern member of the senate who
was on more friendly terms with the
southern members of congress gener-
ally? And that reminds me Of the
first and only time | saw Senat
Seward weep in public.
Seward became a member of the
senate in 1849. Three ears before
Texas had SEN to the senate as its
first representative in hat body Sam
Houston and Thomas ]. Rusk, who
had stood second to Houston in the
wal which had established the indie
pendence of Texas. Between Rusk and
Seward there o 0 sprang up a friend
ly relation that gradually ripened into
q real intimacy, and this relation was
a nine days wonder to many, for Sew
ard had then become recognized as
the leading a~nti-slavery Wing in the
senate, while Rusk represented a

or Course Father Couldn't Approve OF
Boys Action, but, as He
Explained It..

Somebody left the gate open and
a couple of COWS from a neighboring
farm ate the tops of Of my young
corn" said Mr. Smith to a friend at
luncheon. But my boys, provoked
at the intrusion and damage, took
their own way of getting even. They
discovered the rowing cows late one
afternoon, pursuing their way leisure
ly toward the corn. Heading them of,
the drove the cows into the barn and
got a couple Of milk pals. While
Will held one cows head Win sat
himself on a stool and began milking.
THE operation was repeated on the
other COW, and altogether the boys
got three quarts Of milk before they
turned the cows loose. OF course, I
can't say that I approve Of it, but ssv.
eral good results were obtained.
First, the boys got some expert
encs milking. something l had tried

Coming Seasons Furs.

The most popular furs for next win
ter, bid fair to be, seal, pony %caracul,
and for those who can afford it, of
course, sable. Fox and oppossum are
favored for neckpieces. Moleskin, al
most as prohibitive in price as sable,
is gaining popularity in Europe. Err
mine and chinchilla are always in de-
mand for dressy garments, and with
the craze for black, Persian lamb is
advancing even more in fashion. Lin
ings, however, will come in delicate
shades Of violet, yellow, coral and
cream
In muffs and scarfs, a rich look
ing-long haired fur is used. AS to
whether the coats will be long or
short, opinions differ, and milady must
decide for herself. The long coat ex-
presses luxury and elegance. The
short coat is much more smart, and
while not so rich looking, is also not
so expensive.

VIRGINIA IN THE CITY
Ry PHILIP KEAN
by Associated Literary Press.)

Portable room, and tomorrow | am
going to buy myself a new dress and
a hat"
She hoped when she told him that
that he would ask her to go out with
him to the theater or to some Of the
restaurants where some Of the other
girls went.
But he did not do anything so daz-
zling. He blushed and whispered,
viii you walk in the park with me
on Sunday?"
She consented, wondering If he were
stingy. He surely made as much
money as he head-waiter, who invited
her to go with him on Saturday night
to see a play at a nearby theater.
This was the kind of invitation she
craved, and she accepted gladly.
On their way to the theater they
passed Billy Locke. He bowed, and
Virginia saw the establishment in his
eyes. Serves him right for not TAX
ing me himself" was her thought as
she tossed her head, but all the ever
ing his miserable face haunted her.
The ~head-waiter proved to be poor
company. He was not in Virg1nlas
class and his conversation was limited.
Virginia, however, made another
engagement with him for the follow
ing Saturday, and the next day when
she went with Billy Locke to the park,
she told him of it.
He's awfully nice, he Is so gener-
GUS" was her statement.
Perhaps he's generous" poor Billy
said, because he hasn't anything
ahead of him to ave for"
81 should think a man who cared
for a girl would want to give her a
good time" said Virginia.
For a moment Billy was silent. Then
he faced her. Look here, Virginia.,
he said, Il want to take o back
home and put you in a little house OF
your own, and care for you for the
rest Of you life. And l can't do 1t II
| spend money on you now. | cannot
bear to see you In a place that you
don't belong, like that lunchroom. 1t
is not the place for a lady, like you
and that head waiter is not a gentle
man. I don't like to see you with him
and | don't think you ought to go
with him, Virginia."
He spoke with a vehemence that as
tonished Virginia. She had not dream
ed that Billy had 1t In him. why,

pose you thought about me that way.
well l do" said Billy, earnestly,
Il love you, and want to marry you.
Virginia., and by fall l shall have
enough to take us both back where we
want to be. VIII you wait till then,
Virginia?'
She h~esitated. "Oh, I can't say what
| will do right now, Billy"
She thought it over and the vision,
of the little home among the lilacs
came to her when, on the hot days, she
served luncheons to a ravenous popu-
lace.
In vain did the head-waiter whisper
in her ears dreams Of future delights.
What had he to offer her that could
compare with the dreams Billy had
put into her head? Trips down the
river, and to amusement resorts
these were things of the moment. But
Billy's promises were for a lifetime.
The next Sunday in the park she
told the results Of her decision to
Billy Locke.
TT is because you are so good,
Billy" she said. "Somehow from the
very moment | saw you standing on
the corner, | knew that | could trust
you"
You bet you can" said Billy, fer
vently.

Suit Coats.

Suit jackets for autumn and winter
will remain close fitting about the
hips and hold to the straight line
form. At present there is no arb1-
trary decree regarding the length.
Models considerably shorter than the
26-inch length. and somewhat longer
also, are among the new models. But
the length mentioned is a happy me-
dunn. The feeling is that with the ap-
proach Of winter the tendency will be
to lengthen the jacket, with perhaps a
revision to the short effects again in
the spring.
