It Was Sallie That Gave the Young Couple an Excuse for Calling, But I* a Short Time' They Needed No Excuse. Betty, the secretary of our club, has had a pretty-love story, relates the Chicago Tribune. It began in a ran storm. When the rain wits pelting (owli Its liveliest Betty caie 1111 the street frorn till elevated road station. At (lhe bol toin of the steps stood a boy selling flowers. Ile had only two roses left, glorious, half-blown piuk ones. "I'll have those rolses, if you please," said Betty. And, "I'll have those roses, If you please," sad another voice at the same time. 'he other voice be longed to i man. Ile wis a young man, and when Betty looked up and lie looked down, both smilled. Despite the dampness of his clothes the boy smlied too. "Well," ie sold, "which of you is goin' to have 'em1 ?" "You," said Betty. "You spoke first." "No, you. I think you did," sad Mhe young 1inan. The boy, being a diplomat 11s %yell as a flower seller, suggested that they "divvy up." "Whly not?" said thle man11. "I want my roses for a friend who Is ill, and she can't sinell but one rose at a time, now, cal shle?" "I suppose not," Said Betty. "1 (110 wiat my roses for a friend who Is iII, and she can't snell but one rose at a tile." So they "(divyied ip." They left the station together, and since their wi'yS lay in the same direction, they walked together for three blocks. Presently both turned lito the samo side street and both stopped at the sam1e houso in the middle of the block and both rang the bell of the 8a11 flat. "Don't tell me it is Sall Miller that you are bringing that rose to," said Betty incredulously. "Sure it is," sa1d Betty. So Ithey climbed tile stairs together. "Won't Sallie be surprised to see us coming together?" said Betty. Sallib was surprised. "I didn't kn1ow that you two knew each other," she 111d. "W' (l1'wtwe didll't," said Betty. Then they told the story of the roses. Sallie liked the roses, but, being a symhipitletle soul, she liked the story better. "I am so glad," she said. "You imust both come again on Wednesday at this same time." They went away -together. Their talk wais Imostly of Sallie. Enichl said how wonderful it was that the other knew Sallie. At tile corner they sep arated. "I go tills wily," said Betty. "And I that," said lie. "I hope we will meet again-at Sallie's," he added. "0, yes, at SalIie's," Said Betty. Of course tIhey lot-at Sallie',. Their engageemit 1i now six Imonths old. They will be married s(on. Boggs and Stewart Paid.

Finally ho signedl a paper'1 piromising to pay $1, and opposite he placedl tihe 111111 of Oharley Stewart, chIler clerk of tile commuission, Iln whose oflice lat theo statehouse Boggs has a des5k. Boggs came 11011e and waIted dlevelop~ments. Soon Stewart was notilled that 1h1s contrIbution to the Ander'son Y. M. 0. 'A. was due. Ho didn't say much, but apparently dId a lot of tlhnkig. 'The other day lhe caulght Boggs in the offices as another "dunl" camne in. 'Stowvart opened and r'ead thie "dun," which was more or less Insistent in its tone. Then he walked ever to Boggs. "Lend me a dollar, wIll you, harry?" he asked. And Bogge dived into is pocket and produced the dollar. "Now I'li just i~my thuIs bill for you," said Stewart.-Indlanapolls News.
