CHAPTER VI.
Enter the Only Real Hero This
Hcroless Story Will Ever Know.

The week following Christmas, two
Things happened: First, "The North
Sidney Bulletin" little weekly
newspaper up mfthe northern part
of the state failed for several thous-
shnd more dollars than it was worth
and was duly eulogized by the Yer
Amont newspaper fraternity. Old
Joshua Purse, who was i'll of pneu-
anonia at the time the creditors petit
tiened the court for referee passed
away two days later and the news
paper folk of the state wondered what
was going to become of his boy John
who had been associated with him
Pin the business.
The second thing which occurred
that Christmas week was the unusual
disability and indisposition on the
part of several Of our workmen to
Remember Christmas season to keep

permanently and the Telegraph

He says he can do anything on

He left Jack in the private Office
with the door open. Jack moved
across into Sans swivel chair before
his battered table and began to read
over some of the exchanges.

England small town. Pa, he says
she's an after-nine-o'clock girl and il
she was his daughter he'd stop it il
he had to go lookin' for her in his
carpet slippers. And that always
makes Ma sore because she thinks
its slam at the slippers she give
! him Christmas and she says he won't
get another pair next Christmas if
his feet after hours has to go naked. :
Jack spotted an ad in the forms and
undid the string from around it.
Then he wetted it with sponge to
keep the rules from falling over until
he had his column rules in place.
"You don't wanner go chasin' either
one of 'em unless you got money,
though" went on the irrepressible
Hanchette young one. Because
that's principally all they think about
both of 'em. Ma says the younger
generation is perkin' up and Pa, he
says thank Gawd he's shot his bolt
and amt called on to strain his liver
no longer on the gentler sex's de-
mand for doo-dabs. Have you got
any money, Mr.. Purse?"
"Not-much," confessed our new
employee.
"Then take my advice and choose
Annie" went on Slob. "She's fat
but she's inexpensive and chocolates
that come twenty cents a pound
tiekles her just as much as the kind
that comes by the box with ribbon
around EN-
"Thanks," said Jack dryly.
Jack had occasion to speak to the
girl that afternoon when she came
ever to the imposing stones to get an
empty galley.
Is it a good town here to live in?"
he asked.
She avoided his eyes as she re-
piled:
There isn't much going on-at
times. 1t gets-lonesome.
She dropped the galley with loud
clatter; it had slipped from her grasp.
They both reached for it at the same
moment. Their heads came together.
81 think" said the boy grimly,
sthat I'm seeing more stars than you
are !"
"That," she replied, sis an awful
exaggeration"
They laughted.
A few days later Sam came into
the front office. He was only a
young man in those days-we were
all young then-and only a few years
older than Mary Wood.
THAT new man of ours is falling
in love with that Wood girl as sure
as the Lord made cider apples! You
mark me! The son of gun! And
l was just on the point of falling in
love with her myself
"He's poorer than Jobs turkey
replied Harriet Babcock at the
proofreaders desk.
"What ice does that cut when
chap gets the girl fever?" demanded
Sam.

something to say about that,'' COM
mented Harriet. "Wait and see
Heavens and earth! Here comes Mrs
