A pay for a typewriter is a negligible sum,

If you pay your operator fifty dollars per month
anil she runs the machine five years, the operating
cost is $3,000.00. This, plus what you paid for the
machine, represents your investment.
The vital question is, “What do 1 get for that
$3,000.00?”
On the

you get ten to twenty per cent more work than on
any other typewriter made.
The original cost of the machine, therefore,
fades into nothingness.
We can prove that our typewriter will do more

typewriter.

CHAPTER XIV.
ARY DANFORTH awoke early
on the morning of her grad
uation day. She lifted her
watch from the table at the head of
her bed and glanced at it sleepily,
noting with satisfaction that it still
lacked more than an hour to break
fast time.
She lay half awake and let happy
thoughts drift through her mind —
light, girlish thoughts of the beauty
of her graduation gown; affectionate
thoughts of her father, speeding
home from a business trip in the far
West to be with his daughter on this
important day; tender, timid thoughts
of Gordon Craig.
In a letter written a week ago her
lover had repeated his assurance that
he would see her graduate. This
epistle had reached her only the day
before yesterday, and since then she
had heard nothing from him, yet she
was sure that he would be true to his
word. She smiled now as she lay in
her darkened room, a smile that was
full of pure joy. She knew that Craig
would have a question to ask when
they met, and she also knew what
her answer would be. She had no
doubt now that she loved him dearly
and was proud and happy in her
love. The smile faded slowly from
her lips, and she slept again.
Her mother's gentle knock on the
door awakened her a half hour later.
"It’s time to get up, girlie!” she
announced, entering the room.
"Breakfast will be ready soon and
father has telephoned from the Grand
Central to say that he will be up to
eat it with us, as his train is just
in. So try to be ready when he
comes.”
She kissed Mary as she had done
each morning since the girl’s birth,
then hurried away on household tasks
intent.
The trio had a happy breakfast to
gether in the sunlit dining room. Mr
Danforth. haggard and pale—"from
a* sleepless night on the cars,” as he
explained—was once more at the head
of the table, cheery and happy in
spite of his evident weariness.
The morning meal over, he pushed
his chair back from the table and,
drawing Mary down upon his knees,
questioned her with affection and in
terest about her plans for the day.
He did not mention Craig’s name. An
unusual reticence had kept the Tex
an from his conversation ever since
the young man had returned home,
and when Mary had mentioned with
studied indifference the fact that “Mr.
Craig might possibly happen to be in
New York on Commencement Day,”
her father let the statement pass
without comment.
After a few' minutes’ chat this
morning he declared that he must
go to his office for a part of the day.
At the front door he paused and
came back to the dining room to kiss
Mary, although he had already bade
her an affectionate goodby.
"This is just to kiss my little girl
once more,” he explained, patting
her cheek fondly. "She will be i
grownup lady when I see her again.”
It was late in the afternoon that
Mary left the house to go down to
her school. Her class were to have
an early farewell supper in the gym
nasium and would go directly from
that to their graduation .exercises
At 8 o’clock she and the rest of
her class took their places in th r -
great school auditorium, which was
already crowded. Mary looked vain
ly among the sea of faces for the
three persons who made her small
world. Of course, her parents were
here, she mused, although she could
not discern them—but was Craig
here, too?
The white-haired principal arose to
speak, and a hush fell on the house.
Suddenly Mary knew that her lover
had come. She felt his eyes upon
her, and, looking up, saw him in the
gallery above her. Their glances
met and he smiled, but the girl
blushed hotly and dropped her eyes.
Her heart throbbed wildly. She had
been eager to see him, but now she
wished to evade his steady gaze and
hide herself, yet she was happy ro
be in his presence. She raised her
hand to her throat, and. caressingly,
touched the hidden silver trinket he
had sent her.
Those who knew her said Mary
Danforth had never looked sweeter
and fairer than when she rose at
the calling of her name and went
forward to receive her diploma. She
did not think of the thousands of
glances resting upon her. but only of
the look of the man she loved. She
longed to lift her eyes and gaze into
his face, but she could not. Through
the valedictory she sat silent, un
hearing, her eyes upon her diploma
and the mass of flowers which had
been handed her. She knew some of
them were sent by Craig, the rest by
her parents.
At last she became, aware that it
was all over, that people were rising
and that everybody about her was
talking. A gray-haired, sweet-faced
teacher accosted her.
“May 1 speak to you a moment,
dear child?” she said quietly'. “Come
with me.”
Puzzled and vaguely alarmed the
girl obeyed the older woman's bid
ding and followed her into a small
anteroom adjoining the auditorium.
As Mary noted the woman's grave
demeanor a dread clutched at her
heart, and she held her breath to
listen.
"I have bad news for you.” said
her teacher simply. "You must go
right home to your mother. She hos
sent for you. Your father”
She paused, and the girl clasped
her hands in an agony of fear.
“Oh. what is it?” she gasped. “Tell
me quickly! Is he hurt, or ill, or”—
Her voice failed her suddenly, fc»*
Gordon Craig stood beside her. - She
had not seen him enter, and he took
her trembling hands in his firm
grasp.
"Dear.” he said quickly, but softly,
while his body shielded her from tlie
glances of persons passing the door.
your father will never be hurt or ill
again. Be brave, dear. He died an
hour ago.”
An Impossible Post.
With tense, eager faces, the great
audience of women leaned forward :n
their seats, eagerly drinking in the
noted speaker’s every word.
"Mere man," she was saying, "is
wont to belittle woman’s ability to
enter the fields already usurped by
him. As a matter of fact, she is capa
ble of filling any post of public or
private office now held by man. and,
if appointed to it. could even perform
man’s tasks with greater faithfulness
and greater d&ri.ig.

but I’m sure that’s where you
pet the St. Cloud boats.”
"Hadn’t you better ask some one.”
ventured Helen. "It’s so far to go
wav down there and find it isn’t the
place.”
"I tell you it IS the place,” scowled
Warren, who always hated to ask his
way, and often wore Helen out trying
to find a place without guidance.
Already they had walked across the
Alexandre bridge, and Helen w is
tired and hot. Her feet ached, too,
for she had foolishly started out in a
pair of w'hite canvas pumps which
she had bought the day before.
A gravel path and stone steps led
down to what Warren thought was
the boat landing. But evidently it
was not in use this season, for the
place was deserted except for a man
who was shearing a dog in an empty
shed.
He was sitting on the ground hold
ing on his knees a King Charles
spaniel, whose sleek body he was
clipping close, leaving only the lion
like ruff of neck and tail. The dog.
grateful to be rid of his heavy coat
this hot day, lay patiently on his
back.
"I’ll be darned!” muttered Warren
looking around the deserted landing.
”1 know those boats used to start
from here.”
“But it’s been seven years since
you w’ere in Paris.” protested Helen
“You can't expect to find everything
Just the same! Do ask that man
where the right landing is—I CAN’T

"Well. If It’s along here we’ll find
It,’ obstinately ignoring her sugges
tion. "There. I see it now! Isn’t that
a boat just pulling in?”
Helen Inquires.
Helen’s heart sank, for the landing
Warren pointed to was back beyond
the bridge. And it might not be the
right one! Detei ilnedlv she ap

Cloud?” and pointed to the landing
beyond.
“Oui, ou1, madame. nodded the
man, understanding^', while the dog.
in spite of his Inverted position,
wagged a friendly tail.
Warren was already striding back
up the stone steps. “Hope you’re
satisfied,” he grumbled, as Hel u
breathlessly caught up with him.
‘That's the St. Cloud boat there now.
f you hurry we’ll get it.”
Helen, her shoes hurting her at
*verv step, kept up with Warren’ 5
long strides as best -he could. As
they drew near they could see “St.
Cloud” ffuttering on a red flag over
the boat.
“May have to wait another hour
if we don’t catch this!” called back
Warren, running ahead to get the
tickets.
The boat gave a warning whistle.
A man was loosening the chain. Were
they going to miss it after all? War
ren had the tickets now and was
waving them at her! Helen, flushed
and breathless, reached the boat only
a second before It moved off.
“Whee! That was close.” and War
ren wiped the inside of his hat with
his handkerchief. “Pretty good sprint
for a hot day.”
"Oh, can’t you find me a place to
sit down?” panted Helen. "My feet
hurt so!”
“Don’t see any place, do you?” look
ing around the crowded boat, on
which every seat was taken. “What’s
the matter with your feet, anyway?
You’ve been hobbling ever since, we
started.”
“It’s these shoes I bought yester
day. They’re plenty big." defiantly,
"but they’re too stiff. They hurt in
the back at the heel.”
“Humph, you ought to know you
couldn’t get a decent shoe in this
country. Why on earth didn’t you
bring enough with you?”
"I did. dear, all except white ones.”
“Well, serves you right. They
ought to hurt you. if you haven’t
more sense than to start out on a
trip like this with a new pair of
shoes.”
Paris had been hot. but the Seine
was hotter. The sun glittered on the
water that was not even rippled by a
breath of air. The iron rail, against
which Hel >n was leaning, almost
burnt through her gloves. Would she
have to stand on her aching feet in
this b’azing sun all the way to St.
Cloud ?
Warren Compares.
“They talk so blamed much about
the beauty of the Seine—well I don’t
see it! Can’t hold a candle to our
Palisades along the Hudson.”
"None too clean, either." went on
Warren. "Hope they don’t drink this
water. But that’s so—Frejpchmen
don’t drink any water. There’s a
seat, if you want one,” as a man rose
to get out at the next landing.
Helen sank into the seat, and with
a sigh of relief drew off her slipper
under her dress. Warren did not
trouble to come and stand by her. but
stood where he was, leaning on his
cane by the railing.
As they left the outskirts of Paris,
the river grew cleaner and the scen
ery more attractive. But Helen was
too hot and much too uncomforta
ble to enjoy or appreciate the sail.
At last they reached St. Cloud. On
the hillside above was a big white
hotel, with fluttering flags and while-
clothed tables on the green hedged
veranda and terrace.
"Well, what do you want to do?
Walk around and take a look at the
village—or get a cab here and drive
through the park first?”
Helen, whose feet sti 1 * hurt her.
suggested the drive.
Several cabmen, spotting the Amer
icans. were already urging them to
their vehicles. Warren put Helen
into one of the cabs and told the
driver to take them through the park
“What’s that?” as the man began
to chatter excitedly. “What in the
devil’s he trying to say?” For War
ren’s restaurant French was not equal
to this conversation.
The driver finally made them un
derstand they were to pay In advance
—two francs, for which ho presented
them with a ticket, which Helen
thought was a sort of receipt.
"Why, dear, that’s, awfully cheap,”
as they drove off.
“Oh, all cabs are much cheaper over
here,” explained Warren easily.
They entered the park by a massive
gateway, sentinelled by a uniformed
soldier. Helen had read in her Bae
deker of the beauty of the park at
St. Cloud but the terraced groves,
the* statuary, the fountains, the vistas
through arched trees, the cascades
and grottoes surpassed any guide
book description.
Pay In Advance.
"I say, this is great!” approved
Warren. “Look through there! The
fellow who laid out these grounds
knew his job.”
Thed river now slowed up, to give,
them a better view of a magnificent
| fountain at the top of a terraced
j mound.
“Dear, that must be the fountain
i which plays every other Sunday. Why
didn’t 1 bring the Baedeker?”
“Oh, forget your blamed old guide-
; bock and enjoy what you see. By
| Jove, just look up there!”
In the distance was another foun-
i tain center with marble nymphs and
; flaming flower beds. Helen, with her
I slipper off. now leaned back and gave
I herself up to silent enjoyment of it all
j —the cool shaded groves, the smell of
the woods, and the wonderful vistas
I through the trees. The whole park
I was a triumph of landscape art.
Every now and then they passed a
I festive picnic party with lunch
spread In some secluded grove. And
there were many courts of lawn-
tennis and other field games, the
white outing costumes of the players
gleaming conspicuously against the
green background.
“Well, we’re getting our two franc 5 *’
j worth in this drive, all right. This
man's got a pretty big tip coming to
j him.”
When they had driven entfrelv
; around the great park, thev again
j drew up before the impressive iron
I gate, which the soldier swung open.
“We don’t want to go back to the
I station yet. Let’s get out of here and
j go up to the hotel and have a drink.
How about having dinner there?" and
i Warren motioned to the driver to let
them out.
“Eh? What’s that? Now what’s
j he after 0 ’’ as the driver stared at
j his tip, climbed down from his seat.
' and excitedlv pointed to a taximeter
I in front, which they had not seen
j before.
“Well, what in thunder did w r e pay
that twm francs for?” demanded War
ren. glaring at the taximeter which
registered over seven francs. “If you
think you’ve got a sucker here, you’re
wrong. You made us nav in advance,
and that’s all you’ll get?”
Here the soldier at the gate, over
hearing the dispute. ram° out and
explained to Warren, in halting Eng
lish. that the two francs was the ad
mission charged hv the park, and
that the taximeter charges was for
the drive.
Explanation.
“Oh. If that’s the way of it. all 1
right,” as Warren paid the seven
francs, fifty. “But why in the devil '
didn’t he say so?”
“Why, that’s exorbitant.” protest-!
ed Helen indignantly, as they started
up the hill to the hotel. “That makes
the drive almost ten francs.”
“If that’s their regular rate—that’s
all right. All I want to know is that
I’m not being held up. Now w'hat?
Want to go to the hotel for dinner
now? Or take a w r alk around the
village first?”
“I’m afraid I can’t walk very far,”
faltered Helen.
“By George, you’re a fine traveler,
you are.” in a tone of disgust. “Not
much Measure "oing anywhere with
you. You’re either too tired, or too
hot, or your feet hurt—or some
blamed thing’s the matter. Gome on
then, we'll have dinner. Think you
can sit up and take nourishment?”
There's Many a Slip.
Smithson had been really a power
in his day. At any rate, he had held
job bringing him in some thou-
1 sands a year—that is to say, until
i the smash came. After that he failed
j to hold any job he got. and became
j permanently out of luck
His old friend Jenkins was a bit
) surprised, therefore, when Smithson
! stooped him in the street one day
and angrily exclaimed:
"D’you know, I’ve Just received the
prize insult of my life! A chap down
in the city offered' me a job this
morning! ”
“Offered you a job?” Replied Jen
kins. “Y’ou call that an Insult? T
thought you were looking for a job!”
"Yes, but not at ten dollars a week.
Hang it all. I can borrow' more than
that from you!”
"Cheer up little girl.”
CHAPTER XXIII.
FTF.R the scene in the office, when Jennie’s
new employer tried to kiss her. Jennie real
ized if she demanded her salary—so she
could leave -he would not pay her. so she resolved
to work the week out if possible and lie on her
guard in the meantime against any outbursts on
his part.
The. man saw there was nothing to Ik* gained by
forcing his attentions on Jennie, so thought lie
would play a “waiting game” and bo as nice as
possible.
He apologized profusely, saying if he had not
been drinking it wouldn’t have happened, hut that
Jennie was so pretty he just couldn’t help it. Jen
nie was determined to leave at the end of the
week, though, for she could see he was only wait
ing a more favorable chance.
When Jennie got home that night she found her
aunt, the boarding-house keeper, very ill—so sick,
in fact, that they had to get a doctor. "Goodness
only knows where we can get the money to pay
him,” thought Jennie.
The only thing the doctor could prescribe w’as a
good rest, change of scene and good, wholesome food.
(Juite simple to prescribe, but how could Jennie’s
aunt have these things when they had barely
enough to live on as it was? After the doctor had
gone Jennie’s aunt called her to the bedside and
told her: “I know what is the matter with me,
Jennie girl: it was useless for you to have called
the doctor, for lie could not help me and it/was
just an added expense* that we can not afford. I’ve
had these spells for years, but never one before as
bad as this-but cheer up. my little girl, every
thing will 1m* all right and I’ll be out of bed soon.**
But in her heart she KNEW she never would.

i *¥ GUESS there ain’t many real
I human beings that goes to the
boarding houses at the sea
shore, George,” said the Manicure
Lady. “I was down to Tybee for a
w’eek-end. and I was entertained
beautiful by a friend of mine that
always does everything right. She
and her husband Is perfect darlings.
George. He always takes her wher
ever she wants to go, and she thinks
ho is the only man on this globe. She
is one of them kind of wives. George,
that thinks when she hears about
Julius Caesar that her husband would j
have had Julius' Jo > if he had been
living then.
"But they was the only two regular i
guys on that porch after we had ate
our dinner and went out to let it
digest In the shade. There was four
married women there about forty
years old or so, and two young chaos
that had traveled extensively on the
trolley cars. They were setting there
talking to the old gals, showing how
brown their arms was from swim
ming and how* much muscle they had,
and the old gals was fine to them,
beaming on them Just as if they was
grown-up men. After the two chaps
had went for their third swim that
day, the old gals began telling what
divine waltsers the kids was; and how
one of them was very witty.
“But oh, dear doctor! When the
name of one of the younger married
ladies came up. a lady that didn’t
happen to be there at the time, there
was sure some scandal.
“ ‘They say her husband drinks
something brutal!’ says one of the
old hens.
“‘I wouldn’t be surmised.’ says an
other. ‘She would drive anv man to
drink with that temper of hers.”*
“What else do you expect from that
kind of folks?’ asked the Head Bar
ber. “I never sat on a boarding
house porch in my life, unless it was
with some of the old Romans, long
after the women folks had went to
bed. I never could stand all the cruel
things they said about the other wo
men. Many a young married lady
has been kissed and called ‘dearie’ by
the old fat and forty girls, only to be
hammered into pulp when they mov
ed fifty feet away. I was up in the
country not long ago and heard some
of those rocking-chair dames work
ing. Two of the young chaps there
happened to be live onps, and went
to the village to get a few' steins on
a hot day. They mentioned it when
they got hack home, and the next
morning w'hen they started out one
of the dames says ‘Look at Mr. Doo-
nan and Mr. McSherry!’ and another
says, ‘Yes, there they go!’ I suppose
when the young fellow got back in the
evening every one of the ancients
says ‘Here they come!’”
"That’s the trouble. George,’ said
the Manicure Lady. "This would be
a whole lot different world in which
to live in if it wasn’t for the ‘There
they go!’ and ‘Here they come!’ peo
ple. If they see a young fellow
throwing himself away and going -a
the dogs, you don’t hear many folks
shouting ‘Come back and get w*ise!
They all say ‘There he goes!’ and
they say it as cheerful as a kid sav
ing ‘Oh Mamma, here comes the cir
