how he had acquired so familiar a

"When I was lieutenant, | was

small room assigned for my prison con-
tanned no furniture, save an old chair
and a cupboard. In the latter was a
ponderous volume, which proved TO be

SAVED HER PENCIL SUPPLY
Extremely Masculine Office Force
SHED Off Busy stenourapher's
Shade OF Delicate Lavender.

Part of every morning In the Busy
Stenographer's life went toward col
lecting her precious pencils from
everybody else's desk. OF course she
never could prove these really We're
her own. The big fact was that at
the end of the day her supply was
always nil.
Feminine wit met the problem. OF
course the men in her Office classed
themselves as very masculine; went
in for striped neckties and checked
suits, scorned tea rooms for lunch, but
knew every chop house within a
score of blocks-real men stuff, you
know.
One morning the Busy Stenographer
came in with a new package OF pen
ellis. She sharpened them carefully
and laid them in readiness on her desk.
The day sped by. Her pencils were
borrowed-but returned. From the
far end Of the Office the Office boy
came during the afternoon. Hey, Miss
Blank, isn't this one of your pencils
thought you might be lookin' fer itf'
At the close Of the day the supply
was still intact. The color of the
wood was delicately lavender.
