practice Mrs. Harding's advice 'ahd had proGted by 1t. Indeed, be was pluck, ing up courage to offer his love to a lady and ask her to be his wife. The proposition might seem sudden, and he expected to be refused, but he would act on Mrs. Harding's advice and stick to it. .. ..... rT.f
 A few evenings after this George Harding left his wife for short time When he returned what WAS his sur prise to see his old friend, Charlie Webster, sitting in the drawing room with Mrs. Harding. She appeared to be bit rattled, and the two men look ed at each other in astonishment
 This Is the gentleman" said the wife, "whc was so kind to me when my car broke down." ..
 There was an embarrassed silence for a few moments, when Harding said:
 And you. Charlie, have found lady to your taste I wish you success." |" And, with flashing eyes, he turned on his heel and went upstairs. .a --r..
 There was a triangular soreness over the matter for some time. but eyentu- ally Webster was excused since he. had nctcd upon the advice of Harding.

BOOnnerang Advice

 You didn't leave me out, did you, !oveyY'
 "0h. certainly not Charlie writes that be is envIous of me and wishes would tell him how got you. He says be has been waiting for several years for some nice girl to show a prefer ence for him, but thus far there's nothing doing"
 Nothing doIngl l should think not Does be suppose a girl Is going to make love to him while he sits nod ding1 When you write him again tell him that he must have decision, con. centration."
 -What do you mean by that?"
 'I mean this: The first girl be sees that be feels he'd like to marry let him show his admiration in his ex, pression. If he has been introduced he may do this in one way; if not, in an. other. Should he meet her in the street or in company be should pur sue her till he has learned who she is. then never let up till he has made her acquaintance. We women like to be hunted. It gratiles our pride"
 Now, George Hardlng's business led him to be much on the road. A few days after his return from the wed ding Journey be gave his wife a couple of dozen kisses and started on a trip. Be had eHjoined her to go out when ever she had an opportunity, and since she was not only devoted autoist, but an excellent driver, she attempted to kill loneliness by afternoon spins into the country. On one of these spins her machine stopped in the mid, de of the road and, like balky mule, would go no farther.
 The first auto that came along was driven by a gentleman, who pulled up lifted bis cap and asked If he could be of service. Mrs. Harding was a very pretty woman, and the troubled look that appeared in her liquid eyes was enough to soften a heart of brick. The Eentleman's eyes expressed admiration ' in marked degree. He left his.car be, side the road and proceeded to make an investigation of the lady's vehicle Finding that the trouble would compel

regular pay. This allowance is paid
by the Employees Benefit Fund estab.

thirteen weeks, and will receive half
pay until he is able to resume his
work, The maximum time for the half

Another employe who is now receiy-
ing payments from the fund is H. S,
Queen of Earle, Ark who fell from
pole last June and broke his arm
Like McMichael, he received full pay
for thirteen weeks and will continue
to receive half pay until he has re-
covered from his injury, Queen was
in the service only nine months when
his accident occurred,
The family of another telephone

following his death, which occurred
while in the performance Of duty,
