CROSSED WIRES
BY ELLIS TOWER.

1T was long. long letter, and it be
gan:
Dear Jack:
Your note came today. 1t made m,
feel anew how much l miss you.
Dearest one in all the world, when 20,
know that / love you why should l no,
speak of my love? Why should let con
ventionality hold me back when | ar
starving with my heart hunger?
l can say 1t without even asking thai
you love me as love you, or praying
that the future may in some miraculous
way bring us together. l only pray that
my love for you may carry with 1t -ome
pressing. Good-by. JILL.
Miss Curzon finished this letter and
read it carefully through. Then she
laid both arms on the table, dropped
her head between them and sobbed
heavily. The telephone rang and the
sudden noise startled her. She an
swered in weak, trembling voice.
The operator apologized 1t was an
error; the wires were crossed, and
somebody else was wanted.
"Ah, yes" she moaned, 1T is some
one else who is wanted all the time.
Love does not call me; success does
not call me-"
Just then she remembered that sue
cess had that day signaled her in the
form of a letter from her literary
agent asking whether she could sup
ply serial for publication to be
started soon. But how could she
write of love, when own hopeless
love was crushing her heart? She
sat down and wrote curt note 10 the
agent stating that it would be impos-
sible to send the story for several
weeks.
The telephone rang again. Another
apology-the wires were crossed
again. She hung up the receiver with
jerk and burst into nervous sobbing.
Hearing her sisters voice in the hall,
she hurried the two letters into en-
velopes and concealed them. After
good-nights had been said and she
was alone again she dropped the let
tiers down the chute and went to her
room to sit by the open window until
far into the night.
During the night storm came and
the next day was SO cold and rainy
that all the hotel guests were kept
indoors. Miss Curzon was the most
restless person there. Her sisters
health was not improving. In fact,
this damp morning showed her color
less and frail
"Oh, I've been blind to everything
) butts my own hopeless love!" Miss
Curzon left her breakfast untasted, as
remOrseless thoughts rushed into
her mind. I've been selfish and idle
when it was so necessary for me to
be busy. l should never have sent
either of those letters last night. Jack
will despise me- for a foolish. forward

A CITY BIRD
BY IZoLA FORESTER.


Gardiner used to think, those first
few months in New York. that board
ing house was tie lonesomest hole
man ever stole INTO and hid himself
from the outer world. There didn't
seer to be one congenial soul until
Laura Edwards came.
She was about nineteen, he figured.
Her hair was chestnut and caught
the light in it's mesh of golden brown.
Her eyes, too, were brown, and very
friendly-almost too friendly and COM
radely in their appeal, he thought
and he wanted to protect her, vaguely.
He found out that she worked some
place UP town. probably in an office.
Even Miss Meloney knew no more
than this. There was certain point
that even her curiosity could not get
by in Miss Edwards manner.
I'm thinking she's from the middle
West" Kinney, the little highlander
said, one night out on the front steps.
She's spoken to me of Dayton. Ohio,
very often. Tenderly like. too"
She's way of the South about
her at times" Hobart declared with
sigh Like rose, like rose.'
Gardiner rose uneasily. He hated
to have her discussed by them. She
was so much apart, so wonderful to
him. He loved her, and he meant
to tell her so. That, at least, was a
mans right. Back home in Rhode
Island there was good little farm
where his mother lived. That was his,
too, If he cared to run it. But he
knew, someway, Laura would never
care for the country She was city
bird, born to preen on stone pedestals.
Still, he would tell her.
1t was Saturday night. The front
steps were deserted. There was
settee placed on the little grass plot
under the lone catalpa tree, and they
sat out there talking in low voices,
talking commonplace, yet with every
nerve tingling, everysglance conveying
messages their lips belied.. And all
at once Gardiner blurted out:
Well never be the same after to-
night, will WEI"
She smiled up at him wistfully.
"Why?"
Because we've found out Aren't
you sure l love you? Oh, l didn't
mean to spring it like that. Laura"
He reached for her hands anxiously.
Don't 60 in yet. had to tell you.
I've been awfully lonesome here until
you came"
She nodded her head.
Il was lonely, too" she said softly.
But I'm used to it, I've lived around
in boarding houses for two years now.

woman, and Barnaby viii use some
other writer's serial viii I never
learn to be rational?" To crowd these
thoughts from her mind she plunged
into work.
For the next few days she worked
hard, but all that she wrote was IN
satisfactory. Fighting remorse and
smothering regret did not aid in good
work. The letters from New York
came to her on the fourth day. One
was in Jacks irregular. boyish hand
writing and the other had Barnaby's
address in the upper corner. She tried
to ignore her trembling. hands and
pounding heart as she opened Jacks
letter. On one page of perfectly cor.
rect crested notepaper she read just
this:
My Dear Jill:
First let me congratulate you upon hav-
ing arrived in your "authoring' where
you can hold off publishers while they
clamor for serials. I opened this letter,
expecting to find a nice, chummy letter
like the talks we used to have at the
lake. Instead, / found this brief note to
Mr.. s. Barnaby, evidently some publisher.
I'm returning it, as the street address is
not given and I failed to find him in the
city directory
The wires must be crossed. and the
publisher got my message. So send me
another one. won't you? I shall not for
get our good times together and shall
hope to hear from you often.
Sincerely,
JACK
The letter dropped at Miss Curzon's
feet. She was chalky white and her
voice was hoarse whisper.
What have / done? How can I
ever explain to Barnaby?" Almost
holding her breath, she resolutely
opened his letter. AS she read it she
dropped into a chair, spent with re-
lief. This was his letter:
My Dear Miss Curzon:
You failed to inclose a letter Of expIa-
nation. and think you also failed to in
close part of the manuscript for the first
installment of your Jack and Jill'' story
/ take 1t that you want my opinion,
though, SO here it is: Your plot will have
to be a corking good one if you make a
serial in the form of letters. Let me
know just what your idea is about this.
l remember that you told me typewrit-
ers were an unknown quantity up there
where you've been resting, but l am re-
turning your manuscript herewith and
hope to receive your regular copy for this
and the remainder of the serial as soon
as you can get 1t to me- Yours truly,
B. BARNABY
The afternoon mail carried out this
note:
My Dear Jack:
I'm afraid you wonder how one so
stupid as to send the wrong letter to a
publisher ever manages to get into print
The note / wrote you has been returned
by the publisher. but it's stale now. so
I'm writing another to repeat my cordial
wishes that the inclosed kodak pictures
may be pleasant reminders of our good
times at the lake. I've missed you dread
fully, and was delighted to have your
note last week. Pleasantly,
JILL
A messenger boy at the hotel turned
in this message late that night:

Gardiner sat nearer. his arm lying
back of her along the settee And
some way words came at last to him
words to tell her what he would like
to do to make life easier for her. She
wasn't visiting princess any longer

and Miss Meloney peered out, saw
who was there and hesitated.

she asked.

She was shut in the upstairs cell re-
