not to be satisfied with everything
and to keep her at home to look after

Austin saw, that he was responsible
for having put the poison of ambition

also that it required its drastic anti

WOLF and THE LAMB
Young Stenographer Is Saved at
Ruins Brink by a Mere
Incident.
BY FRANK FllSON.

II beg to remain, lovingly yours.
John P. Stevens" the man dictated,
and Miss Keith, his stenographer,
started round in her chair.
Lovingly, did you say, Mr..
Stevens?" she asked in surprise.
Surely you are not going to write
that to the Anderson Iron Foundry"
John p. Stevens took the slim white
hand which Miss Keith had laid upon
the back of her chair and pressed it
between his own. mo, my dear, /
meant it for you." he said. End the
letter In the usual way"
Miss Keith smiled and hammered
out the letter upon her typewriter in
couple of minutes. Then she
glanced up at the clock and rose, pat
ting her hair. Her hat hung upon its
peg close by.
One moment, Lucy" said Stevens.
What would you say to a little sup
per somewhere tonight? I've a couple
OF theater tickets which might come

Lucy, what's the odds?" he continued.
He caught at the pretty wrists which
she had just released from their pa

He saw the agitation which she
could not hide. Her hands were

trembling as she put on her hat. "Out-
side the Hotel Sheffield at severn"
he whispered, and she nodded hastily
and hurried away.
Stevens leaned back in his chair and
lit q cigar. He was wondering just
how much his pretty stenographer
cared for him and how much was due
to the fact that the Stevens Protection
company netted him a clear forty
thousand dollars a year. Six months
before, when she had come to work
for him in her first position, she had
been a prim, innocent-eyed country
girl of whom he had been almost
afraid. Somehow she reminded him of
Mary, his wife, who had left him not
long before when she had discovered
certain matters in his life. Yet he
had really loved Mary. Perhaps II he
had gone humbly to her. He
pulled out cloud of smoke. Well, for
all his money he was down and out
so far as decent friendships we're con.
cerned. All their friends had sided
with Mary. Stevens had been through
whirl Of dissipation since that time
He was having his fiing-all the
pleasure that life now held for him.
Undoubtedly his subtly bestowed
praise. his kindness, his attentions
had turned Miss Keith's head. Well.
II she was such a little fool as to
play with fire.
Stevens looked up to see his book
keeper, Henry Austin, standing at the
door of his private ONCE. The young
fellow had been in his employment
some two years; he worked, for a pit
lance of forty dollars a month, in the
dimly lighted stock room at the op-
posite end Of the floor. He looked at
Stevens In an imploring manner that
irritated the manufacturer.
We'll, Austin, what is it?" he asked.
Il want to give you a weeks notice
to leave, Mr.. Stevens" answered the
young fellow, coming forward. his hat
in his hand.
so you're going to desert the ship,
eh?" sneered Stevens. why? Got
better job?"
mo. Mr.. Stevens. I haven't got a
position yet" he replied.
Want your salary raised?"
No. sir, 1t isn't that I'm perfectly
satisfied"
; Moved by an impulse Of kindness
which surprised himself. Stevens
walked forward and placed his hand
upon the young fellows shoulder.
BEST tell me what's the trouhleo he
said.
Il WILL" Austin blurted out, his
pallid features working convulsively.
IF you we're my own size and willing
to fight I'd just about kill you. Miss

BEAUTIFYING THE HIGHWAYS
Q . . q . . q q o 900 o o
(The Savannah News)

(The Savannah News)
While constantly keeping in mind
the practical purposes for which
roads are built it should be remem-
bered also that they will beof more
service to the public if they are
made and kept beautiful. Long
stretches of monotonous, treeless
roadway could be made attractive at
slight expense by planting trees on
each side, by cutting out under
brush and, at the entrances to towns
for instance, by planting shrubbery.
Ut no doubt is true in many counties
that the authorities have so much to
do and are SO burdened with the very
practical phase of road work that
they think of identifying highways,
and so the women of the state have
an opportunity, which they have
seized in some places already, of
making the state more beautiful in
the eyes of home folks and visitors
by improving the appearance of the
roadsides.
! 1t has been announced that the
civic departments of the organiza-
lions in the membership of the
Georgia Federation of Women's
clubs have been requested by it's
lipresident, Mrs. z. l. Fitzpatrick, to
| cooperate with county authorities
along the line of the Dixie Highway
to beautify that roadway. The fed
, Grafton will add another to it's long
list of excellent labors if, as is ex-
pected, the request results in the
permanent improvement of the ap-
pearance of the highway and makes
it attractive along it's whole length
in Georgia. The request will apply
to both the western and the eastern
route, the latter of which is yet to
be selected. The Dixie Highway
should be made up both of fine roads.
free OF bump and ruts and holes and
ho7s. and beautiful roads, that will
give the traveller something upon
which to feast his eyes while he is
enjoying thesmooth road surface.
And there are other highways
that should receive similar attention.
The Quebec-Miami Highway, for ex-
ample, while already very beauti-
full, has many spots that could be
improved by the planting of a few
trees. The work of identifying them
is desired not alone for the purpose
OF attracting visitors, but also for
the pleasure of the communities
along them. The best is not too
good for Georgia people, and our
roads should be attractive, whether
or not any tourists visit them. OF
course the more attractive they are
the more visitors from other states
are likely to visit them, but it is
primarily for the benefit of Georgia
people that our roads should be not
| only well built, but beautiful as we'll.
That applies not only to cross
state highways, but to all roads,
whether or not they cross county
lines. Any one who travels them
frequently knows how different is the
impression made upon him by
long, treeless, shadeless stretch of
road from that made by a road up
on which the sunshine falls in alter
nate patches with shade and he
knows that he much prefers driving
, along the latter. 1t may not be pos
sible to put money value upon the
shade trees along a roadway, but
everybody knows they are valuable,
not as SO much lumber and firewood,
but for their shade and their beauty.
