their acquaintance ripened.
The fair typist soon had the
two brief manuscripts before her
completed. She placed them
aside, opened a drawer, and took
from it one-half dozen sheets of
paper. Eva read them over.
ooh, dearP she murmured, 81
am dismal failure. I guess I had
better give up my foolish ambi-
ton to become an authoress.
When I compare these with Mr..
Worthington's stories, I see that
I have a long road to travel be-
fore I can even dare to approach
a publisher.
Eva's little story was simple
and commonplace, but was more
than creditable for an amateur.
Almost unconsciously she had Sc
1ected a heroine in an uncertain
city environment like her own
self. Unconsciously, too, she had
her hero a model of her ideal, the
author of the stories she had Just
copied. Her story, partly done,
had one page not completed. It
was where her heroince had writ
ten letter to the man she loved.
Itran:
"I am going away because I
love you, and I tell you this only
because I am sure we shall never
meet again. But it will be sweet
solace for me in the dreary future,
to know that perhaps this knowl-
edge may bring a passing thought
in your mind of a girl far below
you in social and intellectual posi-

"Denzil" wrote Eva at the top
of the letter. Then she blushed.
But why not make her hero
"Denzil?" It was an odd name,
a musical name, to her-she flut-
tered as she realized it-a dear
name.
Just then Eva noticed some
writing on the back of the manu-
scripts she had copied: Must
have these by ten o'clock tomor-
row. Don't fail. D. W."
Why" exclaimed Eva, 81 did
not see that direction before.
What can I do. The office will be
closed. Mr.. Worthington must
have the stories. I have his adj
dress. I will send them to him
personally in the morning"
Eva got the scattered pages
together in the morning, She
hired neighbours boy to carry
the stories to their author. That
afternoon she sat down to rest.
Her mother was asleep. Sud
denly there was a knock at the
door. Eva answered the sum-
mons. 1t was Mr.. Worthington.
Eva's face frightened. Then it
became puzzled. There was some
thing in the fervent way in which
the author shook hands with her,
an excited challenging eye glance
that puzzled her.
81 hope you found the stories
all right, Mr.. Worthington?"
said Eva, as they were seated.
ooh, yes-that isl did not
look over Them" and her visitor
stammered and seemed confused.

men applying for marriage licenses
