A HALF-TONE. By Grace E. Bird. Stanley Wales was so deeply ab- sorbed in a magazine illuStration that he rode three Llocks past his corner It was a half-tone of a girl's face, with straight brows, dark brooding eyes, and the delicate beauty of a Lly, a face that he had been subconszci- ously seeking for years. All his life he had paid so little attention to the fair sex that his relatives, despera‘e lest he be a bachelor forever, were even now conspiring to marry him i soon as possible to Dorothy Stalin: a distant cousin who had been abroad ever since she was a child. He hal never seen the young lady in quest. 1, but with his usual passivity in su: :i affairs he had as yet offered no vigor- ous opposition to their machinations, 80 the game went merrily on. “I wonder if I could find the girl in the picture today?” he impaticnt- ly soliloquized as he retraced the i. .y to his clubhouse for luncheon. Ilirst the illustrator, and then—*“I wonder what her name is anyway?” he con- tinued. “lI saw her behind a counter in a dry goods store,” the artist was ex- pla:ning, “and the face seemed to cor- respond to the author's idea of the character in the story. I drew it frcni memory. 1. forget the store, but I think I could find it for you,’ he obligingly continued, rercad.ng his visitor’s card and recognizing the nae as one well known. “] hate to trouble y ou, but I wish you would,” Stanley answered anxi- ously. Before long the men found the ob- ject of their search selling collars and neckties in a department store. The illustrator hurried away and Stanley walked past the coumter twice. He observed that the girl, now disengaged for the moment, was critically study- ing the passer-by, and her quaint guance took in the young man loiter- ing in the aisle. “Is there anything I can do for you?’ she asked. It did not escape his observation that her voice was low and sympathetic and its timbre musical. “Yes, I thank you,” he stammered, feeling more nervous than ever. “Col- lars, some collars, 1 think, er—col- lars, please.” “What size?” she inquired. coozty. “Size—why let me. see—oh:yes—I have almost forgotten—no—8—yes; 8}. is correct.” “I think about 16 ought to be about right,” she continued, eyeing the tall man critically, and with a business- like air taking down a box containing the articles in question. By a mighty effort Stanley Wales recovered him- self and bought a dozen cheap collars, number 16—in reality he wore a size larger. He left with a lingering vision of straight black brows and two blue eyes like stars. The next day and many more he returned to the neck- wear counter and chatted with the girl during leisure intervals between customers. Her fellow-workers had begun to gossip. She begged him not to return. “Then tell me your name and let me call on you, as I have asked you 40 times before,” he responded. “I will tell you Saturday,’ she re- plied abruptly, “and now good-by,” she concluded, extending her hand. He crushed her proffered fingers in his grasp. The week semed long, but the hope of fulfilment of her promise kept the man’s courage. He was des- perately in love. With his usual quick decision, he had determined to marry her in spite of every possible obstacle, from her refusal to his own personal ostracism. When the day came he found the counter besieged with bargain-hunters taking advan- tage of a sale. After the crowd had left she handed hi ma sealed envelope addressed to himself. “Promise me that you will not open it until tonight at 6 o'clock.” Her fingers touched his as they both held the missive. He would have promised her anything at that mo- ment. “I shall look for you Monday even- ing,” she smiled back at him. “Without fail,” he rejoined merrily. Moving to make way for a customer, he departed. After dinner that night in his smoky smelling den, he broke the seal of a dainty little envelope that had been lying next to his heart. Inclosed was a delicately engraved card, and an un- signed note, begging him to keep her secret. She had been making a study of the self-supporting woman. an. was at present investigating first- hand, the life of the American shop _ girl. Her! engagement was up to- night, and this was her last experi ment on that subject, as, she now ha? enough material for the book she had planned to write. Distant kinship was her only excuse for permitting such a chance acquaintance. “Yes, I will keep her secret on one condition,” he was saying to himself as a knock at the door followed by the entrance of his mother interrupt- ed his reverie. “I have just received word from Dorothy saying that she has come back from Europe, and will be at home next week; so you will put off that huting trip, for a little while, won't you, Stanley?” she coaxed. “Yes, mother, anything to please you,” he replied, with twinkling brown eyes dnd a merry smile, as he slipped into his pocked an unsigned note and a delicately engraved card bearing the name, “Miss Dorothy ing.” e brass industry alone supports $0,0 Stree at Waterbury.
