Then something odd occurred. Something white fluttered at one of the upstairs win dows.
 Charlie gazed in amazement. Someone was in the house. Again the white fluttered. Almost it seemed signal to him. Yes, it signal-there could be no doubt of it.
 Curious, excited and unaccountably elated, Charlie leaped from his car and ran up to the house. He hurried onto the wide, vine-shadowed veranda and knocked at the door. For an instant there was no response. Then slowly the door swung open. Margaret, herself, her face flushed, her eyes roguishy bright stood in the door, way. For moment she stood there, then slowly came out on the porch, looking warily upsand down the road as she did so.
 3I don't want anyone to know I'm here," she explained. q want folks to think I've gone away. But" she smiled shyly at Charlie, "it's been pretty lonesome the last two days.
 ''But I may have to sell and move away, unless, unless, something happens. You see I've told folks-'
 She stopped in blushing confusion.
 "Youve told folks you're going away to get married?" Charlie cried.
 The girl nodded.
 That's the trouble,' she explained. live told them that--but I'm not really going away to get married at all.'
 She looked at Charlie with candid eyes. Then, suddenly, as Charlie gazed eagerly at her, she blushed and turned her head away.
 "Oh, yes, you are" cried Charlie, hus- kiy, but masterfully. You are going away to get married!'
 The girl gave him hurried, shy look.
 "To whom?" her voice came in whis- per.
 Charlie called on all his courage.
 "To me!' he cried
 And at the swift look Margaret gave him, life suddenly became rosy and his soul sang for joy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-11

threatened to leap out of his madly heaUng chest.
 Once this thought had found lodgment in Charlie's soul there was nothing else in life for him but an immediate effort to stage successful conquest of Margarets heart. Even the thought of the long intruder who lad assumed such proprietary air over the girl did not daunt him. He'd see her again and he'd win her. But when Charlie hastened to the duck of a house the next day there was one at home.
 When he made another trip on the fol- lowing day there was also no one at home, and there big sign on the house read ing, "For Sale"
 At the sight of all this Charities heart sank. He determined at once to find out what had happened. And who should be meet, as he hastened down the road toward the nearby village, but the long intruder!
 Charlie stopped.
 .'Can you tell me where I'll find the young lady who owns that house?" queried Charlie of the elongated individual, as he pointed backward at the house.
 "I don't know" was the gloomy response. 'tShe's gone away
 "Gone away" echoed Charlie.
 Charlie backed his roadster abruptly.
 .'I see,'' he said. And started his car back along the road on which he'd come. It seemed to Charlie, as he stopped his car in front of the house, again en route home ward, that the brightness had gone out of the sun and all the joy out of life. The house seemed as delightful and pretty as ever-what place for honeymoon!-but now it could mean nothing in his life. It was dreary, dreary world, and it wasn't worth while to keep on living.

Charlie smiled into her deep brown eyes and felt his heart leap.
 "All right-perfectly all rightw he ex- claimed rather incoherently. And if he'd done as he felt, he'd have burst into song.
 But Charities sudden joyousness left him with dull thud as he was pouring the water into the cars radiator. Up the road ambled a long, good-looking young man who gave Charlie supercilious glance, and who then, without word, hurried up the walk toward the girl.
 Hello, Margaret" this newcomer said, q think I've got a buyer for your house."
 And it was at sight of the glad welcome extended by the girl to this man that Char lies heart fell. Here was romance, but not for him. Here, probably, was the one man in the world for this girl-this beauti- ful Margaret, who had so suddenly come into Charities life and so deeply stirred his very soul. Glumly Charlie finished his task; glumly he returned the sprinkhng can to it's place, and gumly he thanked the girl. But, as he did so, his heart rebounded slightly. What a friendly look the girl gave him! And, strangely enough, he got the impression that she was sorry to have him go in spite of the fact that the long new conner was so strenuously monopolizing all her attention.
 Her name was Margaret and her house was for sale, thought Charlie as he chugged onward. Now what could he make of that? All that day and all that night Charlie thought of Margaret. How pretty she was. How sweet, how altogether desirable and adorable. If only he could win wife like her! And the thought of having such girl as Margaret for his wife Charities heart

A Romance in Realty

TT WAS spring, and Charlie Alborn's
 thoughts were lightly turning to cute
 little homes and charming young la- dies. A smile was on his handsome face and his eyes sparkled But what chance where people jostled each other about with apparently never though of spring or love or anything but work and money? Out in the country it might be different
 So Charlie, not fully aware that it was really romance he was seeking, turned his trim little roadster onto highway leading into the country and whzzed away from the turmoil of the metropolis. Some dis tance out Charlie slowed up. There, nest ling amid the trees was dream house, perfect duck of house, with new green vines trailing over the porch, with trees in bud nodding happily in the sunshine, and with slim girl at work in the garden.
 Charlie couldn't see the girls face, but he knew she was pretty-she simply couldn't be homely in such a beautiful en- vironment So, with his heart beating more rapidly than usual Charlie brought his car to a stop in the road in front of the house, and getting out, walked slowly up the path way toward the girl.
 Yes, the girl was pretty-vivaciously, pi- quantly pretty She was just the right height too and there was just the right hint of humor in her twinkling eyes and upturned mouth.
 Charlie tipped his hat
 .sCould I get drink for my car?' he in quired.
 The girl looked questioningly from Char lie to the vacant roadster for a moment. Then she smiled.
 Milk or water?' she queried.
 "The milk of human kindness, l guess" said Charlie. "It sure will be kindness to her to give her any kind of drink. She's awfully dry"
 Again the girl smiled. Then she led the way to the house, where a sprinkling can reposed near a garden hose.
 Twill this be all right?' the girl in- quired

UNANsWERABLE

"It is most irritating" says young man of usually patient disposition, "to have a friend to domineer over one."
 "Who has been doing that?" asked some one.
 "My roommate. He borrowed my evening clothes"
 Indeed"
 "Oh, didn't mind it it-cspecially, but when he asked for my umbrella, I told. him that I might need it myself. But he get it just the same"
 "How?"
 By simply standing on his dignity and saying, All right; have your own way. They're your clothes that I'm trying 70 prevent from getting wet, not mine.'"

There Was Method in It

conference without the promise of {, job are often far better pleased with the world and themselves than when they went in. Some of them may have taken away th, impression that he considered them too good for the only vacancy he had. Otheri that the salary was too small. Often they thought they had refused it themselves and if (they were women) that he thought them too attractive for the drudgery of of flee routine
 There are some shrewd men and women in his employ and they are shrewd men who employ him. Yet it remained for his new secretary, who did not even look bright, to tailor the tailor. She began during her first week to tell everybody how methodica he was. This was so uncharacteristic that it was repeated to him as joke. And he has sense of humor. Nevertheless he be- gan to keep his safe in better order and lost fewer memorandums. The secretary received the largest proportional increase in salary that year.

"HEODORE MARTIN has a sense of
 humor. That is why he always chuckles
 when intervewers attribute his success in establishing and developing one of the largest advertising agencies in the country to his wide vision, which is undeniabie, or his knowledge of business trends, which is ball record or family tree (equally good), or his Amercansm, which is notable. He always tells them that his spectacular good fortune is simple outgrowth of business need. He always secured reliable contracts and employed people to carry out the work. He had no method.
 Which is true enough because Theodore Martin does not call the most important item of his success a method and he has never had to analyze it. It is more objective than magnetism and not conscious enough to be wholly prompted by a shrewd knowl- edge of human nature. He merely makes people believe what they want to believe. His clients, his friends, his staff and his copy are built up on that one talent.
 His first big contract resulted from an accidental meeting at club. The senior partner of the most conservative crganlza- ton on two continents liked to think that he was progressive and bubbling over with new ideas. He became so convinced of his own daring after talk with Martin that he overcame the objections of his board to m advertising campaign.
 He made the president of a large gar ment association feel as if his ancestors had been the first to get off the ship in 1920.
 The name of the first firm no less than the excellence of the copy that was pro- duced for the second gave him . happy start. He concentrated his attention for some time on clients. After he had secured

amazingly large and profitable contracts, he began to increase his staff.
 I am only shade less gullible than the other members of the staff because I know why like him. He has way of telling a funny story or making an eplgram with a sidelong look at me as if I were the only person in the room who could understand it. He is never crude. It would be unjust to accuse him of ordinary flattery. Yet even his passage each morning from his private office through the other rooms to the art department is an aspect of his own peculiar brand. He manages to catch every eye on the way and to convey in his inimitabie

TIRED OF FEM

One ten-year-old was always full of mis- chief hence it happened that, during his first year at school, hardly a day passed that he was not sent to stand in the corner for some misdemeanor.
 Now the schoolhouse burned down and plans were drawn up for the erection of a new one. It chanced that the county super intendent was the lads own father. So the child sought him out one evening and said :
 Don't you think, dad, we could get the builder to put up round schoolhouse this time?"
 "Why?" asked the astonished father.
 Because l am getting very tired of corners"

DISTRIBUTION

Very excited was Milred, the nine-year- old, when she rushed into her mothers room not long ago, with this announce ment:
 "Mother, we have been having the best time! We have been playing post office, and we gave every lady on the block a let ter.'
 But my dear, where did you find the letters?'
 "Why, we got them from your trunk in the attic-all tied up in blue ribbon.'

HIS WISH

The mother of Chicago youngster re- gently said to him: Harold, tomorrow will be your seventh birthday, and I. want to give you a real birthday present. Tell me what you would like better than any thing else"
 After giving the matter due reflection Harold announced his decision:
 Mother, give me whole box of choco- lates and ask Tommy Billings to come in and watch me eat 'em."

WHAT IT MEANT FOR MILLER

An elderly educator in Maine was talking which reminded him of story.
 There was boy named Miller Stubbs. Miller, brave lad, was doing miserably one day in . geometry lesson.
 "Now, sir" said the pedagogue, savagely,

manner an impression of confidence in ones work and pleasure in ones mere appearance that is very gratifying
 When the heads of department begin to think about asking for larger salaries, a brief interview with the chief has the effect of keeping them contented for weeks. If the unrest spreads to the associates it does not last long after they have been made to realize that the chief understands how strongly the whole organization depends on the output of that particular division and that reasons of policy alone prevent him from offering partnership
 The more important positions are always filled by the chief himself. It is amusing to note that applicants emerging from a "for the last time, what is the square of the hyppthenuse of a right angle triangle equivalent to-"
 "It's equivalent to licking for me-" said Miller. "There's the switch"
