her as to the affairs of the house. but,
to their delight, Miss Brown proved as
intelligent as she was attractive. In
fact, If either Abner or Daniel had
known just how attractive Miss Brown
was, 1t is probable that they would
timorously have decided to seek else
where for a bookkeeper. When Miss
Brown answered their advertisement
her long. dark hair was tightly coiled
on the top of her head, and she wore
prim tailor-made suit; but after the
first week Miss Browns hair was
fashionably coiffured. and her dresses
though simple, were OF that fashion
able aspect which is commonly termed
stunning" And within a month Miss
Marjory Brown ruled the office with
rod of iron.
Abner, who had acquired the habit
of lingering a little too long over his
lunch, would stink into the office on
his return in order to avoid Miss
Browns reproachful eyes AS for Dan
iel, II he took late train and turned
up at ten instead of at nine fifteen, he
hardly dared give Miss Brown instruc-
"Abner.' said Daniel one day, Il
withdraw what l said against women
bookkeepers. Miss Brown Is a-er-
a-er-peach!"
He Kissed the word at his brother
and then looked at him as one who
has committed a breach of decorum.
But Abner only nodded his head, and
then Daniel looked at him quite diff
ferently. That Abner should hold the
same opinion OF Miss Brown reused a
curious sensation in him.
From that time onward each broth
er watched the other narrowly when
he was talking to Miss Brown.
"Abner," said Daniel, what would
we do If she left us?"
Left us!" echoed Abner why
should she leave us?"
"Well-er-she might get married,
you know" suggested Daniel.
Il guess we'd better raise her sal
ary. then" replied Abner.
So Miss Brown was duly raised from
hfteen to twenty dollars a week, to
lure her away from matrimonial as
pirations.
But that was In the good times be-
fore the panic. Then business grew
worse and worse, and, as Is always
the case, the trade in luxuries was the
hrst to suffer. The business fell off
to almost nothing. 1t became a case

THEIR B00KKEEPER
BY GERALD FINCH.

And the doctor says he'll never
be able to come to work again"
The ending of Daniel Patterson's
story fell with dismal effectiveness up
OF the Fecrs Of Abner, his brother. Old

for the importing firm ever since it's
inception by Hiram Patterson, the IA
ther of the two brothers, had been dis

or course. he would be pensioned,
but the question was, who would take
his place? The Patterson business
was an old-fashioned one trading with
a few wealthy, old-fashioned families
There was nothing modern about the
little warehouse, tucked away in an
obscure corner Of the downtown sec
tion of the metropolis. hustling
young American would have been like
a bull in n china shop.
AS matter of fact, the Patterson
business barely paid it's way. But
the brothers had amassed a comfor-
table fortune. Daniel, the elder. was
little over fifty; Abner, his brother
who was always regarded as the reck-
less one. was forty-five. Both were
confirmed bachelors. and If they had
given up business neither would have
known what to do with himself.
We'll have to advertise for a book
keeper" said Abner, after n consulta-
ton. "A quiet, dignified young wom-
an"
Woman" yelled Daniel in horror.
why, women make the best book
Keepers" answered Abner They're
honester, and they attend to business
where man would be thinking all the
time of-of sports and moving pic
lures and--and horse racing"
This was the climax of wickedness
in both the brothers eyes. So. in the
end. the experiment of woman book
keeper was reluctantly decided on.
And thus. in due course of time, Miss
Marjory Brown took her seat at the
desk behind the grille and began to
take financial charge of the brothers
affairs.

Why don't you give her notice?''

Miss Brown OF late.

So Abner, very reluctantly edged
his way toward the grille.

sorry to say that THAT Is, the firm
Il mean we are going to close down,
perhaps for long time"
AS he looked at Miss Marjory Brown
Abner suddenly became aware that
for the first time in months he was
able to do so without Daniel coming
in to call him. Daniel had always
hated to have him talk to the book
keeper. And, now he came to think
OF it. he hated to have Daniel talk
to her, too. The chance might never
occur again. Miss Browns hair had
auburn tints among it's shadowy
tresses. Miss Browns figure was di-
vine. Miss Brown reminded him of
somebody he had once known when
he really was the reckless member
of the family. And suddenly Abner
was swept away into doing the most
reckless thing that he had ever done.
But we want you to stay with US
for ever" he stammered. I'VE want
you to obe-er-er-wife."
Miss Browns cheeks became the
color of a ruddy peach.

her ledger.

ing the ledger brazenly away.
II knew you couldn't mean Mr.. Dan

Superstitious ToiIers.

Humble as the cookie is, 1t gives
employment to several hundred men,
women, and children on the coast Of
Lancashire, England. and seems to
have bred in them silence and super
stition Several villages depend upon
the cookie as an industrial mainstay
The cookers are humble folk, and
among strangers exceedingly shy and
taciturn. as we'll becomes their lone
ly vocation. They inhabit stone cot
tages near the rustling marramgrass
and bents; they subsist on the coars-
est fare, and while at all times their
living is precarious. they suffer Pc
riodical hardships through destructive
high tides. shifting channels, and the
breakup or altered position of the
skeers. These toilers are often seen
In twos and threes far apart. not a
word escaping the lips OF those who
work together. They are supersti-
tious enough to believe that disputes
among themselves over the skeers
would be overheard and resented by
the embedded cookies, in which case
those sensitive shellfish would per-
force quit by the next tide.

RUNAWAY TEAM HITS
THREE IN WILD DASH
Girl Driver at Mercy of Horses
Until Rescuer Climbs Over
Back Of Carriage.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-Three persons
were injured last night when a runa-
way team. drawing a phaeton, plunged
through a crowd watching the tercen-
tenary parade at Columbus circle. The
team was driven by Miss Van Dyck, Of
Scarsdale, n. Y.
The horses took fright at Sixty-fifth
street and Broadway, and started to
run. Miss Van Dyck tried to control
them, but her strength was unequal to
the task. The team was stopped by
George Jordan. who climbed over the
back of the vehicle to the girls assist
ance.
The injured persons were Mrs. Alice
Mervine, sixty, Of Trowmart Inn.
Twelfth street and Abingdon square,
who has q fractured arm and possible
internal injuries: Miss Mildred Mervine,
her niece, twenty-eight, stenographer.
Of the same address. and Edward

Mrs Mervine and her niece were un-
conscious. and were taken to the Flower
Hospital. Smith went home after re-
ceiving emergency treatment in the

Major attractions appear in this col
| umn in order of their appearance.
The regular season of Boston Sym
phony concerts in Washington will open
next Tuesday afternoon at half-past 4
at the New National Theater, when the
orchestra will appear under its con-
ductor. Mr.. Karl Muck. and with the
great italian baritone, Pasquale Amato
as soloist
The orchestra's season in Boston start
ed in the middle of the month with un-
usual brilliancy. The fact that there
was doubt for a time whether the or
chestra could be assembled for the sea-
son probably added somewhat to the en-
thusiastic welcome which was given
to it and to DR.. Muck. The ranks Of the
orchestra are full and there are no
more new members in 1t than usually
are found at the beginning of the sea-
son. These new members have fully
justified the reports which have pre-
ceded them. Mr.. Sand, who has taken
Mr.. Grisez's place as first clarinetist,
has shown himself to be a musician of
great virtuosity, and the same is true
of the other new members.
DR.. Muck has arranged a most attrac-
tive program for the opening of the
Washington season. The symphony Will
be the ever delightful one of Brahms,
in D major his second. There will be
two characteristic pieces by the Finnish
composer, Jean Sibelius-his exquisitely
melancholy The Swan Of Tuonela." and
his stirring "F'inlandia" The other or
chestral numbers will be Webers over
ture, "Euryanthe."
Pasouale Amato, the soloist. naturally
has admirers in Washington, for he is
probably the greatest baritone of our
time, and he shines as brilliantly in con-
cert as he does on the operatic stage.
He will sing an aria by Saint-Saens and
Handel's Largo" The program in its
proper from Is as follows: Brahms SYM
aria from Henry Will" Sibelius (a)
1.-The swan of Tuonela,' tb) "Finlan-
dia;" Handel, air "Ombra calf fur"
