I chance to have in side information that you—that is, the Star-win havej excius||eIy Doesift that suit youTl^%, /*^*1 The young man turned his back to the room full of chattering people and put his broad shoulders between her telltale young face and prying eyes. Their conversation was being held precariously at a crowded afternoon tea. "Look here, girlie," he said, "ifs just like this: Yesterday I was dry man on the Star, with a good chance of promo tion. I felt I had something to offer .the girl I love. Today the Record might take me if I went to them with a scoop in my hand—and they're not making a living for the men they al ready have." "Oh, Tom," cried the girl, with a note of keen distress in her carefully suppressed voice, "you've not lost your position! How was it?" The young fellow nodded. "Ifs Berts," ha returned gloomily. "You know what Berts is. I was all right with him till Mr. Markham noticed my work and (as I've been informed by a man on the inside) told Berts to push me as fast as possible, for he thought I'd make a good chief in my depart ment Berts won't keep a man on the staff who is a possible rival. He called me into his private room yesterday morning and gave me an order which he knew I'd refuse to execute. When I did so, he worked himself into a rage and discharged me. Well, I said some things an assistant can't say to bis chief before the discharge came. Then I asked to be allowed to leave at once— and here I am. I've acted the fool. I'm not fit to be trusted with your future, dear. I"— His voice broke a little and sank into silence. "You've done just as I would have you do," the girl returned loyally, "and now if you're off the Star and not on the Record how would this cotton mill scoop affect you?" "It would square me with Berts if I could beat him on it, and if I could take it to the Record it would assure me a place there. But what*a the use of talking? I've tried all I know, and I can't get a word of the story." "If I thought it would be just right," she murmured. "Tom," looking at him anxiously, "you're very sure nobody will lose money by it if the Star gets left on this?" "Oh, you mean outsiders! I'm telling you the truth when I say it won't make any difference whatever, financially, to anybody if the Record gets a scoop on this cotton mill business and publishes the fact first that Senator Morgan is In town looking for a site for the build ings." "All right," said the girL laughing a little. "You see, he's mother's cousin, and of course we went to the hotel to see him when he first came in yester day morning. While we were there your Mr. Betts of the Star came up. He and Senator Morgan were in school together and are old friends. "Mr. Betts is going down to Birming ham to attend a land sale, but I heard the senator promise him that he would not allow his name to be put on the ho tel register nor permit any of the Rec ord folks to find out that he was here. "Mr. Betts was to send a reliable man around from the Star the next a why, that's today, Tom. It's this very evening! And the senator was going to give him the details of the cotton mill scheme, with the names of all the eastern stockholders and, if he decides upon it, the exact location of the mill." "Isn't that enough to make angels weep?" groaned Tom Harding. "Poor Tom!" said the girl. "You look positively thin. Have a little more oyster pate. You'd feel amiably dis posed toward anybody who would help you out on this, wouldn't you?" "I'd love 'em for life. Well, I reckon I can tear down to the Record office and make the longest item I can out of the fact that I do know Senator Mor gan is here and, that his plans are com ing on all right. They don't even know that much."^ "Dear met* confided the girl to b^er fan. "Men are stupid creatures!" "But women aren't," said Harding gayly. "I know you*ve got a scheme in that pretty little head of yours." I so easy," said the girL yawning a little. "I heard Mr. Betts making the engagement for his man for late this evening, and the name he used was that of a gentleman of my ac quaintance, a certain Mr. Thomas Harding. AH you have- to do is to a little early. Then when the senator has told you all you want to know, why, yon just-say something a little disagreeable, so that when the reaL Star man- comes Cousin John will be furious and, won't see him.

Say, you ought to be a news paper man's wife, do you know ttT% "I believe you said something luce that to me before, and I have taken the matter under advisement. If 1 find a newspaper man thats worth having, why, welr,— She laughed saucily a* she When Harding's card went up to the senator, it found that gentleman seat ed at a big desk with a pile of Twpera "tore* him. "I'm glad that fellow's come," he said. *1 have the stuff ready for.hiuvand XTWant t& get itsoff my hands." Harding wa» most affably received. The full details and complete plans werir furnished, hhn. together with the archrteefs sketeh of the proposed mill and a photograph of the senator for illustrative purposes. TSSWSS f= As hetrose to* go, with ft^ bundle tt documents and well filled notebook in hand, he said: "By the way, senator, wasn't your name recently connected with some sort of a little story—er— •caudal I suppose straitlaced people would call it? It would add spice to *an otherwise bald and uninteresting narrative* if you'd let me ring that in. Doht you think so?" The senator sat at his desk and looked at his Interlocutor aghast, "Young man," he thundered, "put those—papers—down!" Jt "Oh, no," said Harding? "the* 'Star wants these papers," which was cer tainly the truth, "and as for the other business, why, you may be a deacon from Deaconville for what I know. All sorts of things go into the papers." The senator had risen and was com ing toward him as he retreated. "You tell Mr. Betts for me," he roared, "that if he don't fire you I'll save him the trouble by wringing your neck for you!"^ Then Tom Harding had an inspira tion. "See here, senator," he said, "you're mad now. Oh yes, you are. I can see it, though you dissemble it so beautifully. go"—the senator was coming uncomfortably near just then— "but I'll be back in about half an hour. When you've had time to cool down." What the senator said when the card of the genuine Star reporter was car ried up to him just twenty minutes lat er has become legend and story in that hotel. The bellboys gathered in a delighted cordon to hear him swear as he sent the message that if that idiot ever came back there again or sent anybody else from the paper he'd kill him. The Star people continued to send men to interview the senator, who ap peared to them to be demoniacally pos sessed. Failing to get even a glimpse of him, though they could bear the sound of his unutterable roarings down the corridor, they not unnaturally gath ered the impression—indeed the impres sion was abroad pretty generally then —that the senator had been wined and dined rather too extensively, and as Betts, who would have «tl 'hem that crowning folly, was abstMt ti»y hinted as much in the next morning's issue of the paper. It was on this same morning that the Record brought out a complete illus trated history of Senator Morgan's cotton mill deal and a taking little biography and interview with the sen ator himself. The cotton mill meant salvation to the overboomed little southern town, and the Record's scoop in giving the first full and authoritative account of its location did several things. It gave the Record a standing long coveted and worked for. It gave Tom Harding a secure position on the Record staff and incidentally placed him where he felt able to marry. Nobody but Tom Harding and Tom Harding's wife knows just how the scoop came about—well, no one but 'Senator Morgan, perhaps, for he, being related, as you remember, to Tom Harding's wife's mother, sent the bride for a wedding present a very pretty diamond star and a note, in which he made much jocular use of the word, suggesting, among other things, that he believed she was certainly getting a "star" husband. The Smallpox Germ. "One reason why the smallpox germ is so hard to conquer is that he can as sume so many different forms," says C. F. Scott in Ainslee's. "He can transform himself from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde and into two other distinct persons at will. One can never tell which metamorphosis he may assume. As Mr. Hyde, he is known to the med ical profession as Hemorrhagic, a murderous, deadly fellow that covers bis antagonist with wounds that bleed so copiously the afflicted one rarely survives more than a few hours, or, at most, a few days. In one of his other characters he bears the name of Con fluent, as which he raises poisonous welts on the skin of the victim very thickly, and they have a tendency to coalesce. In this character he inflicts wounds more painful, but less fatal. The Discrete type manifests himself in fewer papules and is less vigorous in his assaults. The Varioloid is the gentlemanly Dr. Jekyll held in check by vaccination, and although there is no mistaking his identity he is mild mannered and well disposed to the suf ferer. A victim may be exposed to the Hemorrhagic type and yet the disease which develops in his own system may be any of the other varieties, and sim ilarly through all the combinations. In which form tb» disease will make its appearance* can never be predicted with certainty." ^4 SSf» sV Every Han Has His Master, No man is completely free. man has his master.
