There are gentlemen, too. l suppose
one of them will be Mothers lover by

which one yet. I'm awful!y interested
in them, though. And Of course it's
perfectly natural that I should be-.
Wouldn't you be interested in the man
that was going to be your new father?
Well, I just guess you would! Any
body would. Why, most folks have
only one father, you know, and they
have to take that one just as he Is;
and It's all a matter Of chance whether
they get one that's cross or pleasant; {;
or homely. or fine and grand-looking

more, so suppose he's only my father
by order of the court, same as I'm his
daughter.
Well, anyhow, he's the father I've
grown up with, and Of course I'm used
to him now. Ard it's an altogether
different matter to think Of having a
brand-new father thrust upon you, all
ready-made, as you might say, and of
course I am interested. There's such

Why, only think how different things
would have been at home if my father
had been different! There were such
lot of things I had to be careful not
to de-and just as many had to be
careful to do-on account of Father.
And so now, when I see all these nice
young gentlemen (only they aren't all
young; some Of them are quite, old)
coming to the house and talking to

OF course Mother didn't tell me this,

They were looking across the room

Mother; and he looked just ss II me

that. And the very first chance she

The ladies in front Of me laughed

These locate a fire IN the outlying
districts where the regular alarm
boxes are at a distance apart, thus
making il possible for the sub-sta-

for the relay report from the central
station. The force has been brought
up 10 the number required by law
under the double platoon system,
which is compulsory in cities of 10
