Tut her atrnlShf bobbed hair, her boy bey
ith mlddv blouse worn ever a short full
I, skirt made her leek much younger.
Ai the professor glanced quickly at her
rt, wemed like a child.
'Geed morning." she began. "Is

"De you suppose von could finish

ting In thn house. Suppose you begin
all ever. There must hnve been some
thing the matter with the yardstick' I
used,"
Without any nrcllmlnary discussion
of terms Prof. Moere dismounted from
his ladder and Ann Hates started te
work, In two hours the task of put
ting netting en the windows wan neat
ly accomplished nnd Ann announced
herself at the deer of the cabin with
in which Prof. Moero wns deep nt
work.
"Here I am." she enld. "Pre
worked two hour that's fifty cents.
Tt's only 11 o'clock, se I could work n
half-hour mere before I start back. Or
I could I'eme back this afternoon

"De you wnnt te work geme mere?"
nskrd l.nngden Moere, HI concealing nn
nmtired smile.
"I hnve te." wild Ann. "I get $1.1.1
for the lawn and if you pay me fiftr
centa I'll have $1.03 and I've still get
te earn $5, But, of course, I can go
en te sejrie of the farmhouses. Usually
they need some one te de the wash

ward anv farmer's wife who would
sucse-t that this light-hearted child
xiiirned. nnd ns he removed his. should be n work ns a washerwoman.

While Mary Ann was awav Prof.
Moere did some thinking, lie 'was
qiille sure thut having once met the
mjsterleus Hed Wing life in his solitary
cabin would he plensnnter If he might
occasionally see her again. At twenty
five cents un hour, with $3.12 still te
be enrned, she sllll needed te work
twelve hours and a half. New It would
be delightful te hnve Ited Wing come
for two dns. te spend lx hours each
day. Hut then the pleasure would seen
be ever. If he made some excuse te
have her one hour n day then his joy
might be extended 'ever twelve days.
Twenty-live cents an hour was absurd
payment, but if he paid her merp then
she would net have te work se many
hours.
Thai afternoon he told her she might
work out the half hour, and thnt then
aflcr that he would need her for one
hour each day, te gel hi midday meal.
Ann proved te be ns geed a cook as she

fingers had touched ever th tin pan thnt

Ann wns rolling out some pie crust
for n meat pie for dinner anil her hands
were floury. Heedless or tills, i.angenn
Moere took Ihe rolling pin from her
hands nnd held them elesp m his own.
"Who nre you. lied Wing, anyway.'
ll Isn't fair te come here and steal
my heart away nnd then leave me
without even knowing who ou ere or
why you caref."
Ann Hates made only a faint attempt
te free her hands.
"De jeu mean you you love me?"
she asked, looking at him out of frank,
round eyes.
"Of course. I love you. and whoever
jeu are, I want you te te be my wife,
Yeu arc young, of course, but I'll wait
If your parents insist."
"Oh. I don't believe father will mnke
us wait ery long." said Ann. who had
quite forgotten the pie crust. "If it
was any one else ne mignt. nut miner
admires you se much. He will he glad
that I fell in love with you Instcnd of
some one else. Because you knew, I
did. That first morning after I'd put in
the netting I knew T wns hopelessly jn
love with you and I'd never marry nny
one nil my life if jeu didn't love tne.
tee. And new everything has turned
out beautifully nnd father will bp se
Mirprised."
"But who is your father? demanded
I.angden Moere. "And why hne you
been working for me?"
"Oh, father Is Prof. Bntnes, professor
of mathematics at Vernen University.
I think you came te our house once
when I was quite a little girl. But
you don't remember. And the, reason
why I was working is because I've been
at canip ever en Lake Pleasant. We
wanted te raise money for the freh-nir
children nnd we decided that it ought
te be money that w'e bad reallv earned.
He the girls nil went around earning
money from the nnthes. I pledged $5,
and it has been se easy te earn It. But
we weren't supposed te give our renl
nnmes only our camp nnme. isui i

bJhe STORY of a GREAT SUCCESS
The NOISELESS
PORTABLE
Your junior partner
Before you buy a Portable
Typewriter, consider The
Noiseless Portable. We can't
premise that you will hear any
thing, but you will see a beau
liful, convenient typewriter that
combines quiet with the speed,
beauty of work, durability and
economy that only The Noiseless
can give.
The Noiseless Portable is the
only portable typewriter in the
world than can be used anywhere
at any time without disturbing
anybody. It weight only seven
pounds and is four and one-half
incites high.
Descriptive circular mailed en
tequest.
THE Noiseless Typewriter first came te the market in commercial
form five years age.
The idea of a quiet office, free from irritating typewriter noise, imme
diately appealed te business men.
But The Noiseless was new then. It had te prove that it was net
only quiet, but that it was equal or superior te any ether typewriter in
speed, in the character of its work, in ease of operation, in economy, and
in durability.
It has proved these points beyond any question of doubt. Its sales have
grown faster than these of any ether typewriter during the same period of
its development. The Noiseless represents the greatest advance made in
the typewriter art during the past twenty years.
Te us, the most significant fact about the unprecedented success of The
Noiseless is the character of its recognition. The firms who have stand
ardized en The Noiseless after two, three and four years of actual
comparison, are among the leaders of American and Foreign Industry,
Their names read like a page from the Blue Boek of Business.
