Mr. Schofield had just added the las

to slide into his coat as the party came

than a hasty and fluttering stare at

rakishness suggestive of the chariot
and a number of streamers suspen
from a hook in the ceiling encoura
a supposition that the employees of
Herald were contemplating the
tr?cate festivities of May day. It n(
ed no ghost to infer that these ga
tures had not embellished the edito
chamber curing Mr. Harkless' activ
but on the contrary, had been.put
place that very morning. Mr. Fis
had not known of the decorations. 1
as his eye fell upon them a faint 1<
of pain passed over his brow. But
girl examined the room with a dane
eye, and there were both tears ?
laughter in her heart
"How beautiful!" she cried. "H
beautiful!" She crossed the room a
gave her hand to Ross. "It is !
Schofield, isn't it? The ribbons ?
delightful. I didn't know Mr. Ha

that the decorations were for her. "(

and continued to look out of ^ne w

"She went To the desk and remov
her gloves and laid her rain cloak 0^

for a moment, passed her hand gent
over the back of it and then, throwi:
the rain cloak over another chair, sa
cheerily:
"Do you know, I think the first thii

an in?^ant's indecision, was there?"
"No, siree," replied the other, and ;
he went down to the pressroom to hm
for a feather duster which he thougl
might be found there he collared Bi
Tipworthy, the devil, who, not admi

was whistling on the rainy stairway.
"You hustle and find that dustbrus

And presently as they rummaged i
the nooks and crannies about the nu
chinery he melted to his small assis
ant. "The paper is saved, Buddie
saved by an angel in light brown. Yo
can tell it by the look of her."
'.Gee!" said Bud.
Mr. Schofield had come, blushing, t
join them. "Say. Cale, did you notie
the color of her eyes?"
"Yes. They're gray."
"I thought so, too, show day and a
Kedge Halloway's lecture. But saj
Cale, they're kind of changeable. Whe:
she /ome iu upstairs with you and-Fi:
bee they were jest as blue-nea
matched the color of our ribbons."
"Gee!"' repeated Mr. Tipworthy.
When tile editorial chamber Lad bee
I made so neat that it almost glcwe<
! diough it could never be expected ;
.hine as did Fisbee and Caleb Parki
and Ross Schofield ilia: morning, tl.
lady took ber s::a? at the desk ai:
looked over the few items tv gent!
men had already compiled for lier p
rusal. Mr. Parker explained many tee!
niealities peculiar to the Ci* lew lie:
aid, translated some phrases of th
printing room and enabled her to gras;
the amount of matter needed to fill a.
issue.
When Parker finished the three ir.
comp?tents sat watching the little Cg
ure with the expression of hopeful am
trusting terriers. She knit her brov
for a second, but she did not betray at
instant's indecision.
"I think we should have regula:
market reports," she announced ear
npstiy. "1 am sure Mr. Harkless wouk
approve. Don't you think he woul??"
She turned to Parker.
"Market reports!" Mr. Fisbee ex
claimed. "I should never have though
af market reports, nor do 1 imagint
would either of my-my associates. A
.vornan to conceive the idea of market
.-.crts!"'
The editor blushed. "Why, wk;
?.vould, dear, if not a woman or a spec?
ulator, and I'm not a speculator, an?
neither are you. and that's the reascr
yen didn't think of them. So. Mr
Parker, as there is so much pressure,
and if you don't mind continuing to aei

yon must have an umbrella-would ii
be too much bother if you went around
to ail the shops-stores. I mean-to ali
the grocers and the butchers and the
leritlicr place we passed, the tannery.
?:: if tliere's eire of those places where
they bring cattle, would it be too much
to ask you to stop there-and at the
flour mill if it isn't too far, and at the
dry goods store - and you must take a
blank book and a sharpened pencil, and
will von price everything, please, and
jo? down how much things are?"
Orders received, the impetuous Par?
ker was departing on the instant when
s!,<- stepped him with a little cry, "i'm
you haven't any umbrella!" And she
forced her own, a slender wand, upon
! im. It bore a cunningly wrought
1 andie, and its fabric was of glisten?
ing ilk. The foreman, unable to de?
cline it. thanked her awkwardly, and
as she turned to speak to. Fisbee he
boiled out of the door and ran down
the steps without unfolding "the tm
brella, and then as he made for XI

eurely under his long Prince Alber
determined that not a drop of wati
should touch and ruin so delicate
"bing. Thus he carried it. triumpban
ly dry. through the course of his r<
portings of that day.
""Wii?li he had gone the editor laid ht
hand cn Fisbee's arm. "Dear," she sai(
"do you thiuk you'd take cold if yo

Fisbee* s cheek with her soft hand an<
laughed gayly into his mild, vague oh
eyes.- "It won't be this scramble to 'iii

men, and before long we will prin

your big umbrella and go, dear, and
please ask at the express office if a
typewriter has come for me."
She laughed again with sheer delight
like a child, and ran to a corner and
got the cotton umbrella and placed it
in the old man's hand. As he reached
the door she called after him, "Wait!"
I and went to him and knelt before him
I and, with the humblest, proudest grace
? in the world, turned up his trousers to
keep them from the mud. Ross Scho?
field liad never considered Mr. Fisbee a
particularly sacred sort of person, but
he did from that moment The old
man made some timid protest at the
girl's action, but she answered: "The
great ladies used to buckle the Cheva?

a great deal nicer than the Chev
: You haven't any rubbers! I don't be
! lieve any of you have any rubbers!"
And" not until both Fisbee and Mr.
Schofield had promised to purchase
overshoes at once and in the meantime
not to step in any puddles would she
let the former depart upon his errand.
Ile crossed the square with the strang?
est, jauntiest step ever seen in Platt
ville. Solomon Tibbs had a warm ar?
gument with Miss Selina as to his
identity. Miss Selina maintaining that
the figure under the big umbrella-only
the legs and coat tails were visible to
them-was that of a stranger, probably
an Englishman.
In the Herald office the editor turn
ad. smiling, to the paper's remaining
vassal. "Mr. Schofield. 1 heard some
talk in Rouen of an oil company that
had been formed to prospect for koro
?ene in Carlow county. Do you know
an viii ing about it?"
Iioss. surfeited with honor, terror, and
possessed by a sweet distress at find?
ing himself tete-a-tete with the lad?
looked at the wail and replied, "Oh.
it's that Eph Watts' foolishness."
"bo you know if they have begun to
dig for it yet?"
"Ma'am?" said Ross.
"Have they begun the diggings yet?"
"No, ma'am, I think not They've
got a contrapshun fixed up about three
mile south. I don't reckon they've be?
gun yet hardly. They're gittin' the
machinery in place. I heard Eph say
they'd begin to bore-dig, I mean,
ma'am; I meant to say dig"- He
stopped, utterly confused and unhap?
py, and she understood his manly pur?
pose and knew him for a gentleman
whom she liked.
"You mustn't be too much surprised,"
she said, "but in spite of my ignorance
about such things I mean to devote a
good deal of space to the oil company.
It may come to be of great importance
to Carlow. We won't go into it in io
morrow's paper beyond an item or so.
but do yea think you could possibly
find Mr. Watts and ask him for some
information as to their progress and it
it would be too much trouble for him to
call here tomorrow afternoon w the
day after? I want him to give me an
interview if he will. Tell him, please,
he will very greatly oblige us."
"Oh. he'll come all right," answered
her companion quickly. "rrTTl ta'keTibbs'
buggy and go down there right oil'.
Eph won't lose no time gittin' hen1."
And with this encouraging assurance
he was flying forth when he. like the
others, was detained by her solicitous
care. She was a born mother. Iii.' pre?
tested that in the buggy he would be
perfectly sheltered. Besides, there
wasn't another umbrella about the
place. Ile liked to get wet anyway:
had always loved rain. The end of it
was that he went away in a sort o?"
tremor wearing her rain cloak over bis
shoulders, which garment, as it cov
crcd its owner completely when she
wore it. hung almost to his knees. Ile
j darted around a corner, and '.here.
I breathing deeply, tenderly removed it.
then borrowing paper and cord at a
neighboring store wrapped it neatly
and stole back to the printing office, on
the ground floor of the Herald hui!.line,
and left the package in the hands of
j Bud Tipworthy. charging him to care
j for it as for his own life and not to

one foot out of doors before his return
to band it to her with the message
"He borrowed another off J. Rankins.'
Left alone, the lady went to the desk
and stood for a time looking gravely at
Harkless' chair. She touched it gently,
as she had touched it once before that
morning, and then she spoke to it as if
he were sitting there and as she would
not have spoken had he been sitting
there.
"You didn't want gratitude, did
you?" she whispered, with sad lips.
Soon she smiled at the blue ribbon,
patted the chair gayly on the back and.
seizing upon pencil and pad. dashed
into her work with rare energy. She
bent low over the desk, her pencil mov?
ing rapidly. She seemed loath to pause
for breath. She had covered many
sheets when Fisbee returned,' and as
he came in softly in order not to dis?
turb her she was so deeply engrossed
that she did not hear him, nor did she
.look up when Parker entered, but pur?
sued the formulation of her fast flying
ideas with the same single purpose
and abandon. So the two men sat and
waited .while . their chief tainess wrote
absorbedly. At last she glanced up
and made a little startled exclamation
at seeing them there and then gave
With the humblest, proudest grace in the
world.
them cheery greeting. Each placed
several scribbled sheets before her, and
she, having first assured herself that
Fisbee had bought his overshoes, and
having expressed a fear that Mr. Par?
ker had found her umbrella too small,
as he looked damp (and indeed he was
damp), cried praises on their notes and
offered the reporters great applause.
"It is all so splendid!" she cried.
"How could you do it so quickly? And
in the rain too! It is just what we
need. I've done most of the things I
mentioned. I think, and made a draft
of some plans for hereafter. Doesn't
it seem to you that it would be a good
notion to have a woman's page-'For
Feminine Readers' or 'Of Interest to
Women'-once a week?"
"A woman's page!" exclaimed Fis?
bee. "I could never have thought of
that. Could you. Mr. Parker?"
Before that day was over system had j
l*een introduced, and the Herald was
running on it, and all that warm rainy
afternoon the editor and Fisbee work?
ed in the editorial rooms. Parker and
Cud and Mr. Schofield (after his return
with the items and a courteous mes?
sage from Ephraim Watts) bent over
the forms downstairs, and Uncle Xeno?
phon was cleaning the storeroom and
scrubbing the floor. An extiaordinary
number of errands took tbo various
members pf the printing force up to
see the "editor "in cliieT, literally to" see
the editor in chief. It was hard to be?
lieve that the presence had no: flown,
hard to keep believing without the re?
peated testimony of sight that the din?
gy room upstairs was actually the set?
ting for their jewel, and a jewel they
swore she was. The printers came
down chuckling and gurgling after
each interview. It was partly the
thought that she belonged to the Her?
ald, their paper. Once Ross, chuckling,
looked up and caught the foreman gig?
gling to himself.
"What in the name of common sense
you laughin' at. Cale?" he asked.
"What are you laughing at?" re?
joined the other.
"I dunno!"
The day wore on, wet and dreary out?
side, but all within the Herald's bosom
was snug and busy and murmurous
with the healthy thrum of life and
prosperity renewed. Toward 6 o'clock,
system accomplished, the new guiding
spirit was deliberating on a policy, as
Harkless would conceive a policy were
he there, when Minnie Briscoe ran joy?
ously up the stairs, plunged into the
room waterproofed and radiant and
caught her friend in her eager arms
and put an end to policy for that day.
But policy and labor did not end at
twilight every day. There were even?
ings, as in the time of Harkless. when
lamps shone from the upper windows
of the Herald building: for the little
editor worked hard, and sometimes she
worked late: she always worked early.
She made some mistakes at first and
one or two blunders which she took
much more seriously than any one else
did. But she found a remedy for all
such results of her inexperience, and
slie developed experience. She >?t a:
her task with the energy of her yt nth
fulness and no limit to her ambition,
and she felt that Harkless had pre?
pared the way for a wide expansion of
the paper's interests, wider then he
knew. Slie brought a fresh point of
view to operate in a situation where lie
had fallen perhaps toe much in the rat.
and she watched every chance wills a
keen eye and looked ahead of her with
dear foresight. What she waited and
yearned for and dreaded was the time
when a copy of the new Herald should

man who lay in the Rouen hospital.

Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges?
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to. but are the direct result of indi?
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which tails of perfect digestion ferments and
swellsthe stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in lae course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
