I BEGUN ON A PHONE By OSCAR COX Tiiere 1* nothing so pleases a girl as to get behind a screen where there is no possibility of being discovered and treating one of the opposite sex as she would never dream of treating him were her identity known. Ralph Hard ing, a youngster who was, to say the least, by no means bashful, was called to the telephone one day—a party wire —and a soft feminine voice asked. "Is this Mrs. Partington?" "No; this is not Mrs. Partington." "What is your number?" "My number Is 84G, party W." "Oh! I've got the wrong letter. 1 called 84G R. Excuse me." How much often depends upon a trifle! "No excuse needed, I assure you. Indeed, I must ask you to excuse me." "What for, please?" "Keeping you talking longer than is necessary to your purpose. The sound of your voice is pleasant to the ear." r A slight chuckle informed Mr. Hard ing that he had not given offense. The chuckle was the only reply, but it en couraged him to go on. "We are frequently called to answer calls of 84G R. I suppose it is very easy for an operator to make a mis take in a letter." "Quite so." "Are you on a party wire?" After some hesitancy the lady an swered in the affirmative. "Do you have the same letter as I?" "My letter is 'M.' " "And your number?" Again the chuckle, but no other re ply. "Beg pardon. My question was thoughtless." This was not true, as the girl well knew. If he had the number and the letter it would be possible for him to learn her identity. "It wouldn't be proper for me to be chatting over the phone with a stran ger," said the voice, "if he knew who I was, but since I am unknown I sup pose it's no harm." "How do you know that I'm not a very disreputable person?" asked Hard ing, "By your voice. There is nothing that bespeaks refinement or the want of it so surely as the inflection of one's words. I defy any one not born and brought up in the highest class to as snme the accent of one of that class." "Thank you. You are repaying me for what I said to you with inter est Isn't it strange that I can hear you speak as plainly as if our lips were only an inch or two apart?" Another chuckle. "But, not being able to see you, 1 am obliged to rely on my imagination for a picture of you." "What do you think I am like?" "One of Titian's pictures—fair skin, dark eyes and a tinge of mellow sun set in your hair." "I'm not like that at all." "Well, then you're a brunette." There being no reply, Harding asked if he was "getting warm," as the chil dren say in hide and seek games. But the lady, who was evidently guarding herself against identification, declined to faror him with a reply. "I wish you would give me some thing by which 1 could find out who you are," he said. :, ■ ■ "I am a lady." ~ "And, while a lady may talk to a .strange man unknown* she would cease tocbe a lady ,if she became known, 1 suppose."

There seemed to be an atmosphere of gloom pervading the big room, and there were hardly enough people there to cover the floor. Everybody was melancholy except one.

M i-M I H-M-I-H-H-I-M t "TIPPED" BY LINCOLN. He Paid a Railroad Enginear to Mod erate Speed of Train. Edward Markstone. a railroad man of Philadelphia, narrated an instance when President Lincoln paid an engi neer to slow up his train. It was on the second trip that the president made from Philadelphia to Washington over . the old Philadelphia. Wilmington and Baltimore railroad. George Feeney of Wilmington. Del., was the engineer of the train, and Markstone was the brakeman. In describing the occur i rence Markstone said: "George ran so fast that when New ark. Del., was reached and the train stopped for water President Lincoln got out of the car and. walking up the platform to where Feeney was stand ing. said. 'George, take this and don't run so fast, will you?' The president had actually bribed George to hold his engine in a bit." It is needless to say that the engineer did as directed. When Lincoln first made his memora ble trip from Philadelphia to Washing ! ton at the outbreak of the civil war i Markstone was one of the armed guards on the president's car. In tell ing of this historic ride he said: "The sleeper was attached to the rt ai of the train and was empty. In ordei to allay the suspicion of the passengers as to tho causes of the deiay trucks | were wheeled backward and forward bearing trunks and baggage of even description. After a wait of nearly half an hour a cab dashed up to the station, and a man unattended quickly alighted. He wore a long coat, the j cape of which was drawn over his head. It was Lincoln. He came to , ward me and quickly entered the car I could see but little of his face on ae- I count of the cape, but I noticed his I searching eyes as he looked at me. ; The doors on both ends of the sleeper i were then locked and guarded. 1 was one of the three men who rode on that coach. Lincoln on the inside. I was on the outside at one end, and another guard was at the other end. From Philadelphia to Baltimore, where 1 1 alighted. I stood with pistol in hand readv to shoot any trespasser." j Where Lincoln and Davis Met. The Historical Society of Illinois has placed a big bowlder memorial to mark the place where Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis first met. The site is seventy-five miles west of Chicago on Kishwaukee creek, in Dekalb county. In 1832 the future president of the United States and the future president of the Confederate States of America had gone to that point as soldiers to assist in ending the Black Hawk In dian massacres. Lincn'u was a youth of twenty-three and iptain of a company of militi: one year his senior, was a lie. just out of West Point. Among those present at j the meeting were General Zachary j Taylor, later also a president of the ' United States, and Major Robert An- I derson. later general who was com mander at Fort Sumter at the begin I ning of the civil war.

General Gobin Spoke on "Lincoln From a Soldier's Viewpoint." At a Lincoln birthday meeting in Philadelphia General John P. S. Go bin. the famous Pennsylvania soldier, told of the great veneration which the soldiers in the Union army felt for the president and the inspiration their chief executive was to them on the field of battle. General Gobin said in part: "Lincoln's personality reveals every attribute of the highest type of Ameri can manhood. "His state papers are read with in terest and reverence as we learn the circumstances which produced them. Colonel Ingersoll, in his estimate of Lincoln, epitomized his character as the grandest figure of the fiercest civil war waged in history. "Thus he stands before us today as a soldier, citizen and statesman, real izing the responsibility imposed upon him as equal to if not greater than that assumed by any other man.
