her to Broadway. She felt several glanCes
Of admiration cast at her ankles. or, at
least. she thought they were glances Of
admiration, and she smiled proudly.
She did have pretty ankles. She had
never realized just how trim and attractive
until now, but they had never been prop

sharply to her senses by strange man lift
ing his hat and smrking at her elbow.
She gave him one glance and almost fled,
cutting sharply across the streets as she
felt he was walking rapidly after her. The
next moment she saw the lights Of an auto
mobile, making a quick turn at the cor
ner, almost upon her. In her effort to
dodge, she slipped and almost fell pros

\ drawing voice sounded from the car,
and man in evening clothes, the first so
attired who had ever spoken to her sprang
out.

apologized. with a quick glance which
travelled from her gayly clad ankles to her
flushed face. He hestated. Wont you

There were strange tears in her eyes and
strange husltiness in her throat Just as
the stitch had given way i'm her cheap silk

If a beautiful woman's face is her for

her unbeautiful sister The wonder about
the plain woman's possessions is that

what she did not win him by she cannot

Deep down in every woman there are
the qualities that went to make up the
smile Of that little woman in the hotel

plain woman, if she is wise, trades on
them, glories in them-and beats out her

SMILE OF DRAB LITTLE WOMAN
CAPTURES KHAKI-CLAD CAPTAIN
Transients in Hotel Lobby Wonder What He Saw
in Her-It Was Womanlness That Built
the Smile That Caught Him

Tt rs queer how we all think the same
thing wherf we see good-looking man
out with plain woman. The other day
saw two persons sitting in a hotel lobby
corridor. He was big. easy on the eyes
and In khaki-the kind of man yo't see
on the frontispiece of the latest book.
She was different-just everything he
wasn't. No author would ever have the
courage to star her in his book
But the big fine-looking soldier with
the fascinating bars on his shoulder
straps didn't seem to think about that
He looked as though there was no place
In the whole wide world he quite so much
wanted to be at that moment and every
other moment as there-beside HER.
IT is always nice to know how to make
= man look at you as though you are
the only woman in the world. Perhaps
that is why they watched-the two or
three women who sat on the other brown
velour lounges. At any rate, we all did
look, long and hard. at the drab-face
girl who had captured a captain. At the
end of two minutes l can vouchsafe that
at least one Of those curious women knew
how she had done it.
.nNHE girl smiled And when she smiled
you simply had to join the captain
and not give whoop whethc her skin
was white or yellow or whether she had
any eyelashes at all.
The smile didn't have anything to do
with her face. 1t seemed to come from
way, way in. and to shoot out like a
brave ray of light past such trifing
things as eyes and mouth and teeth 1t
was placid, it was sweet, it was humor.
,ous. it vRs tender, it was jolly-all the
real woman in the world was packed tight
In that one smile. And the captain fell
for it!
DERHAPS you think my plain little
= lady looked in the mirror and trained
herself to smile beautifully. l think not.

 This is to certify that the car of Egyptian Cotton Seed shipped you on the Eth inst. is of the very best Yuma variety, and was carefully selected from best fields in the Mesa section. Also wish to state that the cotton in your section has made more per acre than any other section of the Valley, and that we are further from the short-stapIe district than any other district in the Valley.
 Our seed has all been thoroughly re- cleaned, and am satisfied that the car shipped you is equal, if not better, than any seed in the Valley. The writer is planting about 500 acres, and is taking his seed out of the same bunch that your car came out of.
 have been growing and handling Egyptian Cotton for the past four sea- sons, and l am absolutely satisfied with the QUALITY of seed that we sent you; we also have orders booked now from the local farmers for enough of seed to plant about Five (500o) Thousand Acres, and have not heard SINGLE complaint regarding the quality of our seed.

HERE ARE NAMES AND NUMBERS OF YOUNG
 MEN 0F THIS COUNTY DRAFTED 0N FRIDAY.

At considerable expense, the Jour- nal-Miner yesterday secured addition al numbers from the draft, and from the list secured from the county re- corder's office, dug up the names and addresses of some 300 additional Yavapaians who will be called for the first examination by the Yavapai County exemption board.
 The Journal-Miner is advised by the Associated Press that the county's quota as fixed by Governor Campbell on a basis of about 3,20O due from this State, is 39s men.
 This means, to accept the govern ment's published intention of calling 200 per cent of the quota, that 4eo men will be called out for the first ex- animation.
 It is unquestioned that Yavapai will need more men than this, for there are so many exemptions due to alien birth, dependents, etc, that the quota will require the examination of more than 200 per cent of the men to be called into service.
 In order to cover every possible registrant, liable under the first call, there is presented again this morning the 64o names published Saturday morning, and the 293 secured yester- day, making total of e42 names. More will be published next week ii needed.
