ROMANCE OF ROSES
PRETTY LOVE STORY THAT BE
GAN WITH THE FLOWERS.
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.
Harry IBoggs, an aiccountanimt for the
public service commlisslonl, rcen'tly was5
checking up the records of the Ander

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.
