was, but in six years who can tell?
However, If she amt giving satisfac-

That afternoon the Boss asks Gwen to
take a run out in the suburbs with
him. Gwen is surprised. but she goes.
It's her business to take orders.
On the way out to the swankiest
suburb in the State, he puts her wise
to what it's all about.

says.
I'm getting married myself. I've
furnished up little place out here
and I want you to look it over and
see that everything is okay."
Gwen was more surprised and
showed it.
About then they pulled up in front
Of the shack. 1t was one Of those
early American affairs, or Colonial, or
something; the last word inside and
out. They prowled all over 1t for
more than an hour, from cellar to at
tic, for all the world like any bride
and bridegroom ambling over their
future abode since this country was
settled.
THE Boss could see she liked every
- thing about it in a big way.
Well, out in the kitchen he catches
her by the shoulders and turns her
around. Her eyes were that Irish
blue put in -with-a-sooty-smear kind,
and he noticed other things about her,
too, her mouth and her nose. the way
you do in a closeup, but miss in the

"She's a lucky girl" she says.
you'll think she'll like it?" the
Boss asks.
Then something strange happens.
He sees something in her eyes-or
maybe it was the other way around.
Like it?" Gwen says. She'll love
it. She's been waiting for it six
years" There-the secrets out.
Right there he ought to put his

WREATH OF PRESIDENT

PRINCETON, N. j.. March 10 R).-
A wreath from President Roosevelt
was placed on the grave Of Grover
Cleveland yesterday, in a simple cere-
mony commemorating the 99th ami

body ever breathed it, so 1t was q
kind of surprise all-around when she
walks in that morning and tells the
Boss she's leaving, she's giving him
months notice. He just sits there
pop-eyed and stares at her across his
mahogany desk.

But Gwen interrupts. "Oh, no.
The salary's all right. I'm getting
married" she said, thumbing through
her note book and not looking at
him.
CHE was some confused, the way
~ any girl would be in her place,
but that was nothing to the way the
Boss looked. He suddenly began
shifting things around on his desk,
knocking over the glass elephant pa
per weight and milling around in a
drawer like he was looking for some
thing.

seem to make sense, the way he said 1t.

went on, as If she hadn't spoken.
And from then on things were diff

the MacDougal manuscript lay around
on the Boss desk for four days, wait

and you know how the Boss is about
MacDougal manuscript, and how
the once huns when one is on the

be, because we print everything he
writes, always did, he's that good
but that gives you an idea Of how
things are around the of1ce.

THEY got in a new girl and Gwen
begins coaching her for the job.
The Boss was gruff and fdgety
and snappy by turns, and nobody was
having an easy time. Then he gets

He's feeling swell, because it was

incarceration, Jonson came out of the
chartroom with triumphant grin on
his face. According to my reckoning

Merely a by-product. Captain.
The main idea is to mete out -er,
poetic justice to you and your mate.
Our contract calls for your delivery
at Acusta - in good repair. The boss
was particular about that. You'll
agree with me that we're living up to
our bargain. You've had plenty of
grub and grog to cheer you"
We'll be cheering at your funeral"
said McGurk.
At supper time Jonson returned
with food While the two men ate, he
regaled them with the particulars of
their fate. There was, he said, no
water on the island, except such as the
skies chose to drop from time to time;
no food except barnacles on the rocks.
He bade them good night and left with
the empty supper dishes. The two
men stretched themselves on their
mattresses beside their iron stan
chions.
