ben had no thought of disfiguring him
self with the much used invisible
paint. He did some thinking, how
ever. and he acted upon the result of
these meditati0ns the following day.
He spent about an hour in the rubber
goods section of q large department
store. 1t was to select Il raincoat and
cap of a hue the exact color OF grass.
Even TO the gloves, the green tinge

He stole out from the house and
crossed back yards, vacant lots and
lonely lanes. He arrived at the real
fence of the Elston home without
meeting Ii soul or having been OBJ
served.
Reuben reconnoltered the house.
His heart thumped hard as he fixed
his eyes OF a lighted window in the
second story OF the house. He knew
this 10 be the room that Winnie occn-
pied and he could mentally picture her
loneliness and persecution. The win
dow was open. but the shade was
drawn, so ne had no sight OF the lovely
occupant of the apartment. He made
out Mr.. Elston seated III n table in q
room In the lower part of the house.

he decided. The cruel father will
make his patrol later. There's Il good
spot TO select" and Reuben scaled the
fence and worked his way past patches
OF shrubbery. until he had reached a
spot about twenty feet away from the
house and directly in line with the
window of Winnie's room.

Phonetic Spelling.

A good story Is told by Lady Lo-
gin concerning q coachman named
William Turley. whom her husband,
Sir John LogiA, had in his service,
and who ultimately became private
coachman TO Queen Alexandra.
He was (writes the ~authoress) a
very honest, trustworthy man, but l
often wondered whether, in the royal
service, he made out his accounts in
the original fashion he used 10 do
with US. He had an u~nbounded talent
for phonetic spelling. His first month
" stable bill puzzled my husband not
a little. On the left-hand side of the
paper appeared a column of figures,
and on the right-hand side a row OF
capital "A's."
"Wha does this mean. Turley?" ask
ed Sir John.
That's A, Sir Johnl"

"Ay for the bosses, Sir John !" said
honest William, with an infection OF
reproachful surprise at his masters

Reuben Marsh said nothing, but the

was in a measure q rival, and that
they mistook his ingenious simplicity
for stupidity and would rather en-
courage him to commit q foolish ac-
ton than otherwise. The present col
loquy had come about through Tai
colt asking: And what about the lit
tie LADY. Marsh?' The little lady
was Winnie Elston, and Reuben shook
his head mournfully as he responded
blankly:

1t looks as though l won see her for

Artlessly, because he believed he
