AGATHA'S ADVENTURE.
By Harvey Peake.

"Oh, | wish had an electric run
about" thought Agatha, as she looked
over that portion of daily paper that
is given up to their exploitation, but
I'm too poor even to think about it.
A girl who has to teach school from
o'clock in the morning until 3 in
the afternoon, six days in the week,
in order to earn enough for her board
and keep, has no business dreaming
of motors. No, Agatha Shepherd"
she continued, you should know bet
ter. Just get up from there and look
after that hole in the only good pair
of stockings you own
And she had risen to begin her
task of darning, when another thought
came to her.
at wouldn't do any harm to send
for a few catalogues" she soliloquiz-
ed. Even if can't buy motor |
can look over the pictures of them
and read the descriptions of them
without hurting anybody, and I'm
just going to do it,"
A half dozen applications for cata-
logues went out that night.
Inside of four days the first re-
Spouse came. Two more came the
next day, and on the following day

five more. By the end of the week
she had received Is catalogues. She
felt dishonest and wished that she
had not made application for them.
Presently circular letters and other
matter began to come, mingled with
the steady flow of catalogues. On
none of his rounds did the poStman
pass the house. He always stopped
and deposited bundle OF mail with a
sigh of relief.
From shame Agatha passed to a
state of trepidation, for she was a
timid soul. somewhat past her good
looking girlhood. and fearful of many
things that would not have disturbed
a more self-poised woman. Her In
nocent joy in the first catalogues had
long since gone and she did not even
remove the wrappers from the last
ones. She got up each morning with
a sort of fear that the day would
bring chastisement of some kind, as a
punishment for her false pretenSes
toward the advertisers.
One Friday afternoon when she re-
turned from school she found man
waiting for her in the dimly lighted
hall When he asked If she were Miss
Shepherd she went weak at once, for
she jumped at the conclusion that he
was in some way connected with the
law, or at least the Postofice depart
ment, and was about TO make trouble

as he had very we'll developed sense

laughing in a well-bred, gentlemanly
way.
And when Agatha heard this she
looked up through her tears and
laughed little, hystrical laugh, too.

to take the tenseness out Of the situa-
ton and relieve her more than anv-
thing he could have done.

And after some hesitation upon the
part of Agatha, it was SO arranged.
Then on SATURDAYS Mr.. Wayne's
business still kept him in townr-thc
trip was repeated. And upon Sunday
afternoon still longer one was I'M
dertaken.
And when Monday morning came,
with its school duties for Agatha, and
tho departure of Mr.. Wayne and his
car, it left each of them with a pleas
ant sense of something yet before
them, for he had suggested that he
would like to come again very soon,
and she had intimated that she would
like to have him do so. And he had
held her hand long time at parting,
and she had not withdrawn it.
That night, when she lay in bed
thinking things over, she propounded
this pleasant question to herself just
before she fell asleep: Wouldn't it
be funny, Agatha Shepherd, if you
should get Your electric runabout after

London Is Still Hopeful.

LONDON, Sept. 28.-The military experts here are hopeful that the French center will not give and that the envelopemeht of the German right can be carried out. It is believed that if the French can delay the German advance at St. Mihiel for forty-eight hours General von. Kluck and the en- tire German right must give way. The British are attacking at every point to. relieve the pressure on the center and the French have started an aggressive action north of Verdun and east of Nancy in order to force the Germans to keep the men scat tered and thus prevent them aiding the German right. The French have also sent forward part of the Paris garrison and the new army from Am iens is being used against von Kluck and operating against General won Boehm. The German Notifications at St. Quentin have proven wonder full entanglements and have so far baffled the allies, although terrible pressure has been brought to bear on them.
