You could iell that bv the brightness of her eye, the licalthlul culoi on her cheek, and the sweet and giilish wonder with which she look ed upon the city’s towering buildings rising skyward all about her. She wore a sky-blue dress with a bright led that did not match. She had come to town with her sweetheart to Fee tho-last performance of^he Last Days of Pompeii on Thursday. The two walked out. of the union depot hand iu hand, she limping a little on account of a pair of shoes two sizes too small. The shoes pinched harder the longer the couple walked On reaching the corner of Whitehall mid Alabama streets the girl sat down on the water plug and delib erately began unlacing her shoe, ami as it came off the tip of a black stock ing was seen from under the edge of her shirts. The shoe was soon un laced and pulled off, and. gathering the two up with a look of mexpross ible relief she bunded them to her sweet-heart. He received them as a matter of course, and then, after the girl hud taken his arm, the two pro ceeded on their walk, stopping now und then to admire the pretty things in the snow windows. After a time lho couple returned to tho depot and the girl gave tho nIiocb to the stewardess to keep for her until she was ready to go to the show, in the meantime taking several walks about town with her Bweotheart in her feet.
