HUBBY'S LOVE LETTER
By George7 Munson.
(Copyright by W. G. Chapman )
John Benson rose" hurriedly

tightly as he could, considering

a bag full -of office papers. "I must
catch that 8:27."
"Good-by, John," said Mary
Benton", kissing him fondly. "I do
wish you didn't have to hurry
away to" that old office," she -added,
pouting..
"It won't be for long," said her
husband. "If our great .new ad
vertising scheme goes through
we'll flood the country with no
tices of our-new patent. --Everybody
will read them. It's my own

Good-by." And, with a hurried
final kiss, he was through the
door and hastening toward the
station.

scheme went through they would
move into a big house and keep
two servants.
She put away the breakfast
things. Then, still smiling at the
thought of her husband's haste,
she went into the little room in
which he worked at nights upon
the new advertising plan. A pieGe
of paper lay in one corner; it had
evidently fluttered out of his desk
and fallen there, unnoticed. She
picked it up and, glancing atrif,
felt her heart throb painfully. She
.could hardly read the words that
danced before her eyes.
It was a love letter, and it-began
"My dearest, sweetest Jack."
It was typewritten evidently
that the writer might remain im
mune against discovery, and for
the same reason it yas signed
"Bunny." And it was just theqrt
of foolish mixture of prattle and
endearment that an ignorant
young girl would write.
Worst of all, it was headed
