"Now, Penelope," began her brother Clarence,s who caught her in the act, "I want to know what this means." "What what means?" asked Penelope, flushing and striving to gain time. "What what means!" grunted lie in scorn. "Pen, will you never learn it's useless to hedge with a newspaper man? I want to know why you are treating Hale in this fashion. He's hpf'tl ill tho itnniiK stiiioii lir? (??!.- v.>11 to the Commercial club inusicale. lie's doing poor work, and the managing editor called him down today before the whole gang.

"lteineinher, Pen, I'm not only y?ur brother, but your guardian, and, i while 1 take the place of parents and brother, too, I must use my own way of striving fov your happiness. 1 can't let my dearest chum and my little housekeeper both eat their hearts out without trying to remedy the matter. Now, little girl, let's have the whole story." ^ "And "oil won't tell a word?" came the smothered question from his slioulKS& "Never a word." "Well, then, if you must know the whole story, nothing happened at that BaE tnusicale. Hut the next day Aunt Ma* fia came to spend the day. OAiwl n ilnv in her cotimanv is as a thousand," supplemented Bradford. "And she said she felt it her duty to * tier (load brother's child to tell me how v people were talking about me behind ' my back. She said 1 had encouraged H Jack long enough and that if lie hadn't proposed by this time he never would, lie would pay me attention till he got that position in New York, and then he'd Hud another girl there and forget me. I told her he was nothing but one of your friends; that I never intended B " to marry, but should always keep house for you." "Then you proceeded to shut Jack ' out because lie hadn't lived down to Aunt Maria's level of marrying in 5 haste. Jack Ilale is the soul of honor. ' ^ If ho hasn't naked you to marry him It's because lie wants to wait till lie ' has a better salary than lie gets on the Times. I'll see if I can show him the error of his ways." "Clarence," cried Penelope, pushing him from her, "you promised you'd never mention a vprd!" "So I did," groaned he. "Well, Pen, I'll keep my word, but I want you to forget Aunt Maria and her views. I'm ?oipg to ask Jack to dinner tomorrow night, and I want you to wear your prettiest gown, smile your sweetest \ and take him back into favor again. ^Tlint won't be a hard thing to do for Otf sake, will It, dear?" In his most wheedling tone. 1 "l'oii old torment!" cried Penelope as Blic gave him a parting hug.. KcacbJug the door, she called back, "I might H f posslblj' (ft> it for his sake," after which If V pleco of daring she hurried out to see ^ why dinner wasn't announced. "I surmised as much," Llradford told hi Idmsclf, "and. though I'd scorn to break a promise, Jack liule will get u ... ? v.M tmi i y .?> ^ . > J olson & Son, :ers, you a { and a happy new t your business " l_ pretty broad hint or what I consider his duty." Ilale pleaded an evening assignment the next afternoon, but Bradford wouldn't take "No" for an answer. "I know well enough what that assignment is," lie responded, "and you can get the story just as well in the morning. You're looking fagged out< Hale, and need a rest. Break away from your work early this afternoon and go up and take Penelope for a drive. The horse has been stabled for more than a week because Pen has had a had cold. I'll be homo In tiim^for dinner, hut shall put the whole evening in at the hoard of aldermen's meeting, so I'm glad you can amuse the child. She's in need of amusement after being cooped up for a wliple week." "Why didn't you tell me"? began Ilale. Hut I trad ford was gone. Though he could lie beautifully, he could not stand cross examination. As Jack and Penelope returned from their drive, both in the best of spirits after their spin through the frosty air, llradford preceded them up the steps. While all three removed their wraps in the hall he pulled a notebook from his pocket and tossed it across to Ilale, remarking, "Say, old man, I found your notebook after you left the office." "Much obliged," answered Hale 'hs he attempted to catch the book, which missed ids hand and fell at Penelope's feet. Picking it up quickly, she exclaimed: ".Now, I wonder what tlie very latest sensation is? I do so like to keep up with the times." And she proceeded to flutter the leaves of the book past the canceled items toward the last written pages. 'Tonelope, that's a pun, ami if 1 wasn't in a hurry to dress I'd see that you were properly punished for it," called her brother, disappearing upstairs with suspicious haste. Jack looked over Penelope's shoulder as he answered, "lion't believe there's a tiling that hasn't been printed. I"? "Oh, yes, there is," said Penelope. "Here's your very last Item." And she paused to read, while llale exclaimed: "itiljat isn't my writing! Oh, Lord!" in a tragic groan. For th>\s is the item both read: "KngagiVmcnL announced this weekMiss Peneloflpc Ilradl'ord, dan. of late Hon. Harris*1, fci It-late pres. Nat. Hank, this city. Mr.'i John Winthrop Ilalerising young jyiur.?pop. member Commercial Club?g^ad. of llarv.?ctr. rush oil looiuau icainy? congrat. of hosts of friends, etc." * "Wh-what doo^\ it moan?" gasped Penelope, turning* red and white by turns. I "Mean?" ejaculated Ilale in desperation. "It means tlftat one of those eonfounded idiots at* lie oiliee lias been trying to get f tunny. It means?oh. Penelope, darliiwg," with a complete phange of tone,l??r viu't you make it mean something? i>oii\ run away, dear," as he cAngbt both her hands. "Lot me finish fnow I've started.

A m*?ri ought not to tie a girl down to X\\y sucli bread and butter existent as I can offer while I'm on the Times. I wouldn't have spoken if this hadn't happened till I had more. Hut I'll promise to wait patiently, dearest, if you'll only make this item true." The item appeared on the society p;)ge of the Sanbrook Times the following Saturday, and Bradford chuckled as he read it: "Now, that's what 1 call a made to order Item." Ilale, being blessed with his share of newspaper Instinct, never tried to liml out which of the "confounded idiots at the otlice" dared to tamper with his notebook. 'l'llotlMftitfii).

'] The Editor of Tiik Timi:s was busily at work in his Den the other day when lie was aroused by n sharp knock ai tne noor. inviting entrance, upon looking up he beheld an individii.il who handed him a card. Upon it in large characters was printed : _J \__ S. GLAUS, DISTHint'TOK or HAI'IMN'EPS, GREENLAND _ Now this was a poser. The Editor saw before him a s;oiling, stockily built little gentleman who was certainly not very old, hut his beard was long and beautifully I white. Ho was dressed in fashionable attire and looked more like a successful Mill President than the Patron Saint of children. The Editor?as we all do?had always pictured him as attired in an oddlooking suit fringed with fur and comical boots. Hut there was "the merry nod," and "the odd twinkle of the eye" which penetrated his disguise i I'M.. >? i - - i'..'

The Editor acknowledged with thanks the kind words of Mr. Ohms, and after a pleasant chat and a real Havana Cheroot from Duke's Drug Store, he olTered to have tho distinguished visitor personally conducted around the business portion of thcity. A bright young Ueporter wm called in, introduced to Santa, and sworn to silence as to his identity until after his departure.
