'No woiiiiin worth having Is going

Tapes ropoutod this remark in strict
Coufldciico to uttoli of Ills ussoclntos,
who In turn tulkod It over witli nil the

when shop-girls by scoros woro going

were moved to euiulation, but thoy
quickly retired from n contest In
which thoy found thoy had no possible

look at any ono but Eighmun.
Yot tho Adonis of tlio shop was not
bappy. Sometimes ho would re tiro
suddenly from the window with n

what was tho mutter. On ono of these
occasions ho suddenly dragged Jerry,
Hie red-haired shop-boy, to the side

said:
"See that girl going down street

"Yep," the boy repllod.
"Woll, I'll give you a dollar If yon'il
And out her uamo and where alio

folunteored tlio information that Susan
was a "regular siuuuer," and that if
ho were Elghnuu ho would "make a

issUtuiico iu tlio shape of a cuff of the

Afterward ho noticed, prompted by
the curiosity peculiar to small boys,
(hat Suaau seldom lookod Into tho

did chance lo moot that of the hand
some salesman it was as Inexpressive

Tho visitor left tho store abruptly;
ho scarcely know why, except that he
wanted to be aloiio with his thoughts.
IId wits now a prosperous business

Susan hud appeal on tly boon going
dully for years lo her common, poor
ly paid work, nnd remained modest
and unconscious, although glared nt
ofl'onsivoly by thousands of mon, of
whom ho had been ono of the enrllost
and most persistent.
Ills pride was so hurt with rofloc
t.'ons that ho tiled lo comfort it with
liquor; but tho off rt failod. Ha neg
lected tho business which had brought
hint lo tho city, and gavo himself up
to his coiiiclonco, which mado n mls
erubla woek for lilm. He wanted to
confess to somo ono; ho triod heaven;
yet something still corned nocessary.
Again ho Iicciiiio nn amateur detcctivo

Naturally, ho bad lo wait somo
