"She took her savings and went to
night school with them. by the end
of the year Lefty was a fair stenog-
rapher and bookkeeper, and, as the
young woman who kept books for the
tavern was leaving to get married,
Lefty stepped into her shoes. The
salary was a dollar less than her
wages had been when she held the
broom, but she was mighty glad.
AT the end of the year Anthony
comes on his route again. and when
Lefty looked up from her books and
saw him standing, waiting to register,
her heart beat so that she couldn't

Anthony looked at her, and his

midnight. he was S72 in the hole And
by that time he had forgotten all about
Lefty, who had been waiting all

Lefty cried herself to sleep, and
next morning Anthony was gone be-

She gave up hope then, but she
stayed on at the tavern keeping the
books. She wouldn't have anything
to do with the young fellows of Wake

Anthony? You mean Jim Anthony

King & Co.? Why, he has another
route now. and he amt travelling for
King & Co. any more. neither. And
Letty-you remember Lefty, who used
to be in service here. Well-say. I'd
best start right at the beginning.
Lefty was the housemaid at this
hotel when Anthony was King & Co.'S
best salesman. Her mother had
brought her up very strict, and when
she died Lefty was only eighteen and
knew about as much Of the world as q
child does. The house was worth about
two thousand, for property had been
going up for long time; but Lefty
couldn't live on nothing while 1t was
on the market. so she came to the
tavern as second housemaid. In those
days service of that kind wasn't con-
sidered anyways lowering in Wake
field.
Anthony was staying over night. 1t
was a small town on his route, and he
hadn't made many sales that year. and

when he saw Lefty sweeping down the
hall he frightened up bit Anthony
always liked pretty face. So he
comes up to her.
Hello. kid, you sure are peach
he says, and kisses her. That done.
he goes into his room. thinking no
more about 1t.
Lefty was flabbergasted. She had
always been taught that to kiss a girl
meant you wanted to marry her, and
here was a perfect stranger who had
kissed her the minute he set eyes on
her. The little fool put down her
broom and began to cry with happi-
ness. Anthony was about forty and
rather fat and flashily dressed, but he
/ was all gold in Letty's eyes
Next morning Anthony, having re-
! newed his Crouch. went out of his
room carrying his suit case. He met
Lefty, who had been waiting on the
stairs. Morning, miss, said Anthony.
